Yeah, and just been announced that every engagement right through until the weekend, including the weekend, has been canceled. The eighty eight year old was admitted into Rome's Jamelli Hospital on Friday to undergo treatment and tests for bronchitis. We're now being told he's got a polymicrobial infection of his respiratory tract and what that basically means is he's had to now have a change in the treatment that he was originally prescribed. He's described as in a stable condition. He does not have a fever, but nevertheless, this course is very worrying. He has a history of illness, particularly to do with his lungs, including just at the age of twenty one he actually had part of one of his lungs removed, having suffered from health issues for many years, and in March of twenty twenty three he spent three nights in hospital with bronchitis, and in June that year underwent a three hour operation to repair an abdominal hernia. So I'm afraid some bad news. Plenty of well wishers though at Saint Peter's Basilica. Plenty of weld wishes throughout the Vatican. But yeah, pretty worrying days for the Pope.

Very unfortunate timing because this is the Holy Year, the anniversary, the big old celebrations, and he's missing out and he will be missed. And finally, your textpayer's money has been spent on researchers figuring out what a mummy smells like. And when I say mummy, I mean an Egyptian mummy.

Yes, fascinating this Apparently when you open up one of these mummies, even five thousand years on, they actually smelled quite nice, I believe it or not a pleasant smell according to scientists, and that is due to the use of resins and oils like pine cedar and juniper. So this was a team from University College London looking at basically collaborating and conservators and curators at the Egyptian Museum in I wrote they had a look at nine mummified bodies and the smell has always been something that has fascinated research because as I mentioned, it's actually not unpleasant. It is not the smell of decay, and smell is a very key consideration for ancient Egyptians, it would appear, particularly when it came to the mummification process. Even though five thousand years on, of course things have changed, but it was said that the smells that and the oils that we used are really, really rather pleasant. This seems to be a bizarre thing to investigate and research, but nevertheless really interesting that something all those years on can actually smell quite good.
