Martin here with your Newsround update. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
First, we've been talking to a doctor from the UK who's been in | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
It's a deadly virus that's taken the lives of 1,500 people there. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
At the weekend, an English nurse was flown back to | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
the UK for specialist treatment after picking up the disease | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
But health experts say it's extremely unlikely it could | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
spread here because UK healthcare is much more advanced. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
So what is it that makes so many doctors and nurses risk their | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
My name is Natalie, and I am a children's doctor. I've recently | :00:37. | :00:50. | |
returned from Liberia, and experience that has changed my life, | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
and I don't think I will be the same again. From the time I landed in | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
Liberia, it was very clear there was an epidemic of the Ebola virus that | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
wasn't under control, it was getting worse. There was a lot of fear in | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
the country. When I arrived, I looked after patients straight | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
away, and I worked every single day for two weeks. Had to wear special | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
equipment to protect myself from getting the Ebola virus. It was | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
tiring and exhausting, and at times frightening. But it was also very | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
rewarding to see patients get better. William came to Allah | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
treatment centre fairly early on when he was unwell, and he did very | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
well and he went on to survive and be discharged from our unit, and he | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
has now been reunited with his family. My friends and family were | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
obviously worried when I said I was going to Liberia to work with | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
patients with Ebola. But they were supportive and they understood the | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
need that people in Liberia had as well for doctors. We care about our | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
patients and he carob out people that are unwell. It is why we train | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
to become doctors and nurses. And it's very difficult for us when | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
patients are not receiving good medical care, doctors and nurses | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
around the world who have the skills that are needed want to go and help | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
to make sure the care the patients are receiving is as good as it can | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
be. You've told us why you're happy | :02:17. | :02:16. | |
after a survey found children in England aren't | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
as satisfied with their lives The Children's Society asked | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
thousands of kids in countries I like going on holiday with my | :02:21. | :02:49. | |
friends and family because I get to play with my friends and it is | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
really fun. I like playing football with daddy. Children in England say | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
they have good friends, strong family relations, they love their | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
homes and they think they have enough cash but they worry about | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
body image, bullying and being judged by others. One of the real | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
problems is they worry about how they look, their appearance, | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
especially if they think people are going to bully them for the way they | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
look. English children say they are happiest when they have good, | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
loving, supportive relationships. On the website, Amber says... | :03:22. | :03:47. | |
Well, netball makes me happy because I get to use loads of energy running | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
around. It's hard to measure happiness but wherever you live, | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
friends and family seem the most important. | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
One of the top job's in football's gone to Wayne Rooney. | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
He's the new England captain after Steven Gerrard, | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
Rooney made his England debut in 2003, aged just 17. | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
He had the biggest selling Premier League football shirt over | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
And now he's landed his dream job, England football captain. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
With his cats and all the goals he scored and all the things he's done | :04:21. | :04:34. | |
from such a young age, we have seen that he is prepared to take up the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
responsibility and continue to push on in his career. | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
"As a kid I always loved watching a big England game on the TV. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
To be appointed captain is beyond my wildest dreams." | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back in the morning and on the web. | :04:54. | :05:01. |
