Banned Journalists (Leah McGrath Goodman) arrives in London (video)

This is a video of part of my conversation with Leah McGrath Goodman on the terrace of the House of Commons.

Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin...
