PROBLEM: (CNN) A new study lends support to one of the biggest fears about Zika virus: It might increase the risk of the rare neurological syndrome Guillain-Barre. Years before Zika virus first appeared in Latin America, it spread from Africa and Asia to Pacific islands. From 2013 to 2014, French Polynesia had 32,000 suspected cases of Zika virus. During this same period, there was also an uptick in cases of Guillain-Barre. Researchers in French Polynesia and Europe looked at those 42 cases of Guillain-Barre in the Pacific Island nation between October 2013 and April 2014. They asked whether there was any evidence these patients had been exposed to Zika virus.A study finds evidence that people in French Polynesia affected by Guillain-Barre were exposed to Zika virusResearchers estimate that about 1 in 4,000 Zika infectious could lead to the rare neurological syndromeGuillain-Barre causes muscle weakness and paralysis, and many patients take weeks to months to recover

PROBLEM: Hong Kong (CNN) US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson heads to Asia later this week for a regional meeting on security issues, which is expected to be attended by ministers from North Korea, China, South Korea and Japan.
