Good morning, guys, Jenny here with news | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
of this giant sinkhole on the way. Plus... | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Ayshah checks out the coolest new sport around! This is Newsround. | :00:10. | :00:21. | |
First, with the weeks ago until people in Scotland vote on whether | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
to become independent from the rest of the UK, the final TV debate to | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
convince people one way or another has taken place. Alex Salmond and | :00:33. | :00:38. | |
the leader of the better together campaign Alistair Darling put the | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
arguments to the audience. They argued over the NHS, oil and whether | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
and whether Scotland could still use the pound. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
Now to the latest on the first British man to catch | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
the Ebola virus during the recent outbreak in Africa. | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
William Pooley's still being treated in a special isolation unit | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
after being brought back to the UK on Sunday. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
Doctors have struggled to stop the virus spreading across parts | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
of Africa, but health experts say people here should not be worried. | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
The first British man affected by the Ebola outbreak has been taken | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
He was flown back to the UK on a special Royal Air Force jet. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
It's just part of the many measures being taken to try and make him | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Ebola is a very dangerous virus and can be passed | :01:21. | :01:32. | |
from one person to another, although that is difficult. | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
It can only be caught if you are directly exposed to body | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
fluids like blood or saliva from someone who already has it. | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
And the man in question caught it after volunteering to treat people | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
affected in an outbreak in the African country, Sierra Leone. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
It was decided to bring him here because | :01:46. | :01:47. | |
the government thought it was safer than being treated in Africa. | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Experts say people in Britain should not be worried. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
What we would like to emphasise is that the risk of Ebola virus | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
infection to the people of this country remains very low | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
Across Africa, a lack of medical expertise has meant that | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
the virus has spread, killing more than 1,000 people so far. | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
But in Britain, it is a different story. | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
Better knowledge and better facilities means that doctors are | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
The man, a nurse called William Pooley, will be kept away from other | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
The doctors helping him will be using this equipment to treat him | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
There is no known cure for Ebola, but health experts say that, | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
with proper treatment, patients have a chance of beating the virus. | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Just last week, two Americans who had also | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
contracted Ebola whilst working in Africa made a full recovery and | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
Moving on, a giant sinkhole has opened up on | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
a farm in County Durham - and there are worries it's getting bigger. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
The hole opened up in the ground after an old mine collapsed. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
The land owner, John Hensby, said he'd been warned the hole will grow. | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
The European Space Agency has released time-lapse footage of the | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
Aurora Borealis - better known as the Northern Lights | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
- that was filmed from the International Space Station. | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
We've all dreamed of being able to fly - soaring through the sky, | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
But that could be about to change because there's | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
a new sport in town that gets you a little bit closer to that dream. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Ayshah took to the water to find out more. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
You might have seen your favourite star doing this or you might have | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
seen it on the beach this summer. The sports 's competitors are | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
forming tricks like somersaults above water on special jet boots. I | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
have come to Littlehampton in the south of England to find out more. | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
It is such a unique experience. Everybody in the world wants to have | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
a go at flying, you dream of it as a kid and now it is a possibility. It | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
is something kids would want to get into. Luckily we have a 15-year-old | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
in America who is ranked fourth in the world. That encourages kids to | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
have a go. The fly board is attached to the back of a jet skis. The water | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
force is redirected to your feet with a 65 foot hose. The proportion | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
-- propulsion of the jet ski is what they shoot out of the water. Helmut, | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
buoyancy aid, and the British fly boarding champion. Are you going to | :04:37. | :04:55. | |
give it a go? All right, then. Fly boarding is a water sport that is | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
becoming more popular. The youngest champion is 15, and thousands of | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
people around the world have tried it. It is a sport that really does | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
make you feel like you are flying. That was quite possibly the coolest | :05:07. | :05:25. | |
thing that I have ever done. In football, | :05:26. | :05:40. | |
Manchester United have agreed a British transfer record of nearly | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
?60 million for Real Madrid winger Angel De Maria, who could sign | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
today. On the pitch, Manchester City came | :05:46. | :05:46. | |
out on top in the battle of last | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
season's top two last night. They beat Liverpool 3-1 with | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
two goals from Stevan Jovetic. That's all from me, Newsround's back | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
right here in about half an hour. | :05:57. | :06:00. |
