But let's start in America, where doctors have confirmed

:00:13.:00:24.

the first case of the Ebola virus diagnosed on US soil.

:00:25.:00:28.

A man is now being treated at a hospital in Texas having come

:00:29.:00:32.

into the country from the African country of Liberia.

:00:33.:00:35.

Thousands of people have been affected

:00:36.:00:38.

by a big outbreak of the disease in West Africa in recent months.

:00:39.:00:41.

But American health officials say they're extremely confident they can

:00:42.:00:44.

stop the virus spreading any further.

:00:45.:00:49.

this is where the Strictly celebrities will be strutting

:02:01.:02:03.

their stuff. So what do these children love

:02:04.:02:04.

about ballroom? I always watched it when I was

:02:05.:02:16.

little and I like ballroom dancing. I like the costumes. I like to get

:02:17.:02:25.

my feet moving. I like dancing with a girl.

:02:26.:02:29.

I'll be honest. I don't know my foxtrot from my cha-cha-cha. Can

:02:30.:02:31.

anybody help me? And I couldn't leave without

:02:32.:02:33.

giving it a go myself. I've spent a couple

:02:34.:02:35.
