William Pooley, a 29-year old volunteer nurse in | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
Sierra Leone, is being treated at the Royal Free Hospital in London. | :00:12. | :00:22. | |

Doctors at a London hospital have begun treating | :00:52. | :01:15. | |
a British man who contracted the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone. | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
He was flown to Britain last night by the RAF. | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
The man's been named by a colleague as William Pooley, | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
a 29-year-old nurse who volunteered to go to West Africa to care | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
The disease has already killed almost 1,500 people in the region. | :01:29. | :01:41. | |
William Pooley went to Sierra Leone to care for the dying, visiting aids | :01:42. | :01:54. | |
and cancer patients in their homes. When Ebola struck, he went to help | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
out in hospital, putting his own life at risk. Very compassionate. He | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
loves people. He worked for long hours. He is a patient in the UK's | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
only high-level isolation unit. His bed sealed inside a tent, the air in | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
and out filtered. He will be treated by people in special suits designed | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
to avoid contact with Ebola. It spread by contact with somebody who | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
is infected, their body fluids. People who have died who are | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
particularly infectious. You cannot get the virus through breathing in. | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
It is not the most infectious virus we can deal with. It is nowhere near | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
as infectious as influenza. Teams have arrived in West Africa. Basic | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
health systems stretched beyond their limits. Health workers are | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
taking every precaution but long hours and difficult conditions | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
increase the chances of being exposed to the virus. At the last | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
little in north London the NHS is looking after one of its own. The | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
selfless volunteer nurse in their care. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Branwen is here. What can doctors actually do for him? | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
There is no problem treatment for the Ebola virus but William Pooley | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
is at least in highly specialised treatment were my key can get the | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
best chance of recovery. That means treating all of the symptoms that | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
can occur, for example vomiting and diarrhoea. The isolation tent will | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
make a big difference to keep him and the people looking after him | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
very safe. They will be trying to bolster his immune system. Hopefully | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
he will have a robust immune system. They will treat any other | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
small infections which made her car to give his body the best chance of | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
fighting off the virus. The Prime Minister has led | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
the tributes to the actor and director Richard Attenborough, | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
whose death at the age David Cameron called | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
Lord Attenborough one Film producer David Puttnam said | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
his friend was "completely irreplaceable" and had done "a | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
mind-boggling list of decent, Jon Brain has been listening to | :04:26. | :04:27. | |
the tributes. You cannot have any more to drink. | :04:28. | :04:43. | |
1942, and a promising young actor made his debut in a wartime morale | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
booster. Over seven decades, Richard Attenborough was to become one of | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
the towering figures of British and ultimately world cinema. I ought to | :04:53. | :05:00. | |
be drunk. I want to be drunk. His talent in front of the camera was | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
obvious. The role of a psychopath in Drayton Rock was an early triumph. | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
Described as the best realisation of one of his characters he had ever | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
seen on film. For the next 20 years he was prolific. The actor of choice | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
for many directors. Here, he excelled as John Christie, an and | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
assuming middle-aged serial killer. It is what I would expect, of | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
course. I know he had decided his future lay behind the camera. A | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
musical saw his first acting as a director. He specialised in the epic | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
sweep of history. Young Winston was a compelling biography of the early | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
years of Churchill. Illiterate they maybe... His greatest triumph came | :06:00. | :06:09. | |
in 1992, Gandhi dominated the following your's Oscars, including | :06:10. | :06:19. | |
two for Attenborough himself. Friends say his achievements went | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
beyond that. He not only had talent, I think you would call it genius for | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
knowing what to do and having the persistence to go ahead and do it. | :06:30. | :06:36. | |
He was an extraordinary man, the canopy of the British film industry | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
and more in the last extent or 70 years. In an interview in 2007 he | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
spoke of his love for his chosen profession. In the movies, in the | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
cinema, is heaven on earth for me. I would want to go on and on until I | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
disappeared. He did go on until the end. Right up until his death he was | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
collaborating on a project for yet another film. | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
Jon Brain looking back at the life of Richard Attenborough, whose | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
There's a special tribute programme to Lord Attenborough tonight on | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
With just over three weeks to go until the Scottish referendum | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
on independence, a second televised debate takes place this evening. | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
Scotland's First Minister, Alex Salmond, | :07:28. | :07:28. | |
and the Labour former chancellor, Alistair Darling, who represents | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
the Better Together campaign, will go head to head in Glasgow. | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
Our correspondent Lorna Gordon's there for us now. | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
Lorna, what issues do you think will dominate the debate this evening? | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
Both sides have been trotting out the one-liners this morning, trying | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
to capture and their arguments in a single sentence. Those who believe | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
in independence there this is about voting for prosperity versus | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
austerity if you want to stay within the union. Those who believe in the | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
union said the problem is not with the salesmen, it is with the | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
product. They believe there are too many unanswered questions. You will | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
see them revisiting some of the issues that have been dominating the | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
agenda over the past few weeks. Both protagonists will focus in on what | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
they see as their strength at the other side's weaknesses. You would | :08:28. | :08:34. | |
expect Alistair Darling to revisit currency and statistics with oil. | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Alex Salmond will probably bring up different statistics to do with oil | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
and will focus on the issue of the NHS, which he will argue can on the | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
be safeguarded with a yes vote. That is disputed by the other side. We | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
know more about the structure of this debate, to start with opening | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
statements, the order of those to be decided with a toss of a coin, as | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
his where each man will stand. Alex Salmond will be on the right, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Alistair Darling in the middle and Glen Campbell on the left. They will | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
have to touch on four topics, the economy, Scotland at home, Scotland | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
and the world and what happens after the vote. Expect a big audience, | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
aiming in particular at the undecided voters. | :09:27. | :09:43. | |
The mother of Mikaeel Kular has been jailed for 11 years at the High | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
Court in Edinburgh this morning for killing her three-year-old son. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Rosedeep Adekoya was accused of murdering Mikaeel Kular but admitted | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
a lesser charge of culpable homicide which was accepted by prosecutors. | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Adekoya, who is 34, beat the boy to death in January. | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Andrew Anderson reports from Edinburgh. | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Three-year-old Mikaeel Kular whose body suffered 40 injuries when | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
health service found by police in January this year. His mother, | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Rosedeep Adekoya, struck him repeatedly angry her son had been | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
sick after they had eaten at a restaurant. Two days after he died | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
from internal injuries at the family home in Edinburgh, his mother called | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
999, telling police her son disappeared from the flats during | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
the night. That sparked a massive police operation in the north of the | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
city. Hundreds of locals turned out, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
anxious to help, desperate to find the toddler. In this particular | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
case, it became clear that Mikaeel Kular hadn't gone missing of his own | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
accord, as had initially been reported. Therefore we started to | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
pursue lines of inquiry that led us eventually to the site that his body | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
had been deposited in. In fact, his body was lying in | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
woodland 20 miles away in Fife. His mother wrapped her son in bedding | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
put his body in a suitcase and hidden it in woodland behind her | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
sister's house. A court in Edinburgh this morning, | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
Rosedeep Adekoya was sentenced to 11 years. She admitted a lesser charge | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
of murder, of culpable homicide. Her lawyer told the court this had been | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
completely out of character and there was nothing to suggest that | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
Rosedeep Adekoya would behave in such a way towards her children. | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
Rosedeep Adekoya and her family we are known to social services in | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Edinburgh and in Fife. Social work involvement with the family appears | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
to have ended in December last year. Four weeks later, Rosedeep Adekoya | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
killed her son. There is - now an inquiry under way | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
into whether more could have been done to prevent the death of Mikaeel | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Kular. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
has called for tougher powers to deal with extremists who leave | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
Britain to fight in Iraq and Syria. Writing in his Daily Telegraph | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
column, Mr Johnson says control orders should be brought back | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
immediately for the most serious cases. He also says some people | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
should be stripped of their citizenship. Our Political | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
Correspondent, Iain Watson, joins me now. What more has he been saying? | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
He's got a lot to say. The 500 British Jihadis fighting in Syria, | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
half are estimated to come from London. It's not surprising the | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
City's Mayor would speak out. He's mentioned the reintroduction of | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
control orders, detention without trial, introduced by the Labour | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Government but scrapped by the coal Is. The most controversial proposal | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
is to say there will be an assumption that anyone travelling to | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
Iraq and Syria would be assumed to be there for terrorist purposes, in | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
other words, a presumption of guilty and not innocence. The Home Office | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
said they are taking strong action so this change in the law isn't | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
necessary and until recently, the most senior law officer drive, told | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
the BBC that he thought this was Draconian -- Dominic Grieve. He said | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
it could undermine British values. Boris Johnson is set to become a | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Conservative MP once again. The constituency is about to select its | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
candidate so it doesn't do any harm writing an article saying we should | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
get tougher on the terrorists, more tougher than the Government is | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
prepared to be. France's government's collapsed this | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
morning in a row over the country's faltering economy. The country's | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
Prime Minister offered up his socialist Government's resignation | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
to Francois Hollande after criticism from within the Cabinet about | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
France's austerity programme. Let's speak to our correspondent in | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
Paris, Lucy Williamson. Why is the president reacting in this way? | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
I think he's keen to show he's not going to Buckle under pressure and | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
there's been an awful lot of pressure on his economic policy. His | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
election promises about boosting growth and creating jobs are in | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
shreds. He's got an awful lot of pressure coming from Brussels to cut | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
spending faster and now, over the weekend, he's had this fresh attack | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
from within his own party on those economic policies. His economic | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
minister, one of the two men who actually run France's economy. His | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
reaction to that by dissolving the Government and recreating the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Cabinet as a whole, really says that he's not going to be swayed by that | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
pressure, he's going to stick to his economic policies whatever anyone | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
else thinks and it also tells us just how much is at stake for him. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
Thank you very much. Now, it's a grey and wet Bank | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Holiday for many of us today but the organisers of Britain's biggest | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
indoor gaming festival couldn't have hoped for better weather. Thousands | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
of people have descended on Coventry's rich Cho Arena for the | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
event. Graham Satchell has been finding out that watching other | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
people play computer games is fast becoming a legitimate spectator | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
report. This report contains flashing images. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
They have come in their thousands. Some to play computer games, but | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
most to watch. I know what you are thinking, | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
sitting in front of a computer all day playing games is one thing but | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
sitting watching other people playing games all day... Really? If | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
you know the game, you can appreciate the level of skill and | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
technical ability that goes into it. It's funny to watch some of the | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
stuff they can do and think, wow, they must have really put a lot of | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
practise into this. It inspires you to keep on going. It's enough of a | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
sport to be sitting inside and hone your skills in that way instead of | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
with a football or a rugby ball. Do you think it's a legitimate sport? | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
Yes, yes. This is a hi-tech professional set-up. Two teams play | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
for thousands of pounds in prize money. You can see the tension. | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
The game is streamed live online, there are even commentators. | :16:12. | :16:20. | |
Great work from him... Gaming is of course a multibillion | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
pound industry and there's plenty of money changing hands here on the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
coolest newest stuff. But what is surprising is the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
numbers of people now watching other people play games like this, the | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
global audience online and at live events last year was over 70 | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
million. Lost in a world of mine craft, we | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
met 11-year-old Alex. Mine craft is some sort of game that is built by | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
the perfect people. Why do you like watching other | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
people playing? Well, it makes me feel like I want to do what they are | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
going to do. This is Josh and his mum Michelle. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Josh watches videos of gaming all the time. His mum doesn't get it. I | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
find it really weird. I was watching it earlier, watching people | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
commenting on other people's playing and I've never seen anything like | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
it. Obviously that's where the fun is, which I hadn't really got. I | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
thought it was just the gaming itself. So I do find it slightly | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
strange. On stage, some living legends, gamers who record | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
themselves playing League of Legends and then uploaded on to YouTube. | :17:30. | :17:41. | |
This man has thousands. I have a coach. It's a really nice... I'm | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
happy it's a sustainable job that I have for now. | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
This event is taking place at Coventry's football ground. So is | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
the national sport being overtaken by so-called e-sport? Not yet. Some | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
here can't even stay awake. But gaming is evolving and growing all | :18:02. | :18:02. | |
the time. You can see more on all of today's | :18:03. | :18:14. | |
stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC One is at 5.30, or | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
if you are in | :18:18. | :18:18. |
