    By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    WASHINGTON – Arctic sea ice may have started rebuilding after reaching a record low, according to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center.
    Arctic ice now covers 4.18 million square kilometres, the agency said Thursday, up from 4.13 million on Sept. 16, which appears to have been the minimum.

    [Health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, says cooperation between South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique has led to a 90% reduction in new malaria infections in the three countries.
    Tshabala-Msimang says this has been achieved through the use of Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), an agent that kills the malaria-carrying mosquitoes. She was speaking at one of the commissions of the People’s Assembly in Bizana, which was discussing the health situation in the country.
