:00:00. > :00:00.Good morning, guys, Jenny here with news

:00:00. > :00:09.of this giant sinkhole on the way. Plus...

:00:10. > :00:21.Ayshah checks out the coolest new sport around! This is Newsround.

:00:22. > :00:27.First, with the weeks ago until people in Scotland vote on whether

:00:28. > :00:32.to become independent from the rest of the UK, the final TV debate to

:00:33. > :00:38.convince people one way or another has taken place. Alex Salmond and

:00:39. > :00:43.the leader of the better together campaign Alistair Darling put the

:00:44. > :00:47.arguments to the audience. They argued over the NHS, oil and whether

:00:48. > :00:50.and whether Scotland could still use the pound.

:00:51. > :00:55.Now to the latest on the first British man to catch

:00:56. > :00:57.the Ebola virus during the recent outbreak in Africa.

:00:58. > :01:00.William Pooley's still being treated in a special isolation unit

:01:01. > :01:02.after being brought back to the UK on Sunday.

:01:03. > :01:04.Doctors have struggled to stop the virus spreading across parts

:01:05. > :01:07.of Africa, but health experts say people here should not be worried.

:01:08. > :01:10.The first British man affected by the Ebola outbreak has been taken

:01:11. > :01:16.He was flown back to the UK on a special Royal Air Force jet.

:01:17. > :01:20.It's just part of the many measures being taken to try and make him

:01:21. > :01:32.Ebola is a very dangerous virus and can be passed

:01:33. > :01:34.from one person to another, although that is difficult.

:01:35. > :01:37.It can only be caught if you are directly exposed to body

:01:38. > :01:40.fluids like blood or saliva from someone who already has it.

:01:41. > :01:43.And the man in question caught it after volunteering to treat people

:01:44. > :01:45.affected in an outbreak in the African country, Sierra Leone.

:01:46. > :01:47.It was decided to bring him here because

:01:48. > :01:52.the government thought it was safer than being treated in Africa.

:01:53. > :01:57.Experts say people in Britain should not be worried.

:01:58. > :02:02.What we would like to emphasise is that the risk of Ebola virus

:02:03. > :02:04.infection to the people of this country remains very low

:02:05. > :02:15.Across Africa, a lack of medical expertise has meant that

:02:16. > :02:17.the virus has spread, killing more than 1,000 people so far.

:02:18. > :02:19.But in Britain, it is a different story.

:02:20. > :02:21.Better knowledge and better facilities means that doctors are

:02:22. > :02:26.The man, a nurse called William Pooley, will be kept away from other

:02:27. > :02:32.The doctors helping him will be using this equipment to treat him

:02:33. > :02:40.There is no known cure for Ebola, but health experts say that,

:02:41. > :02:43.with proper treatment, patients have a chance of beating the virus.

:02:44. > :02:45.Just last week, two Americans who had also

:02:46. > :02:54.contracted Ebola whilst working in Africa made a full recovery and

:02:55. > :03:00.Moving on, a giant sinkhole has opened up on

:03:01. > :03:03.a farm in County Durham - and there are worries it's getting bigger.

:03:04. > :03:06.The hole opened up in the ground after an old mine collapsed.

:03:07. > :03:13.The land owner, John Hensby, said he'd been warned the hole will grow.

:03:14. > :03:15.The European Space Agency has released time-lapse footage of the

:03:16. > :03:18.Aurora Borealis - better known as the Northern Lights

:03:19. > :03:23.- that was filmed from the International Space Station.

:03:24. > :03:26.We've all dreamed of being able to fly - soaring through the sky,

:03:27. > :03:30.But that could be about to change because there's

:03:31. > :03:34.a new sport in town that gets you a little bit closer to that dream.

:03:35. > :03:38.Ayshah took to the water to find out more.

:03:39. > :03:46.You might have seen your favourite star doing this or you might have

:03:47. > :03:50.seen it on the beach this summer. The sports 's competitors are

:03:51. > :03:55.forming tricks like somersaults above water on special jet boots. I

:03:56. > :04:01.have come to Littlehampton in the south of England to find out more.

:04:02. > :04:05.It is such a unique experience. Everybody in the world wants to have

:04:06. > :04:08.a go at flying, you dream of it as a kid and now it is a possibility. It

:04:09. > :04:13.is something kids would want to get into. Luckily we have a 15-year-old

:04:14. > :04:21.in America who is ranked fourth in the world. That encourages kids to

:04:22. > :04:25.have a go. The fly board is attached to the back of a jet skis. The water

:04:26. > :04:30.force is redirected to your feet with a 65 foot hose. The proportion

:04:31. > :04:36.-- propulsion of the jet ski is what they shoot out of the water. Helmut,

:04:37. > :04:55.buoyancy aid, and the British fly boarding champion. Are you going to

:04:56. > :04:58.give it a go? All right, then. Fly boarding is a water sport that is

:04:59. > :05:01.becoming more popular. The youngest champion is 15, and thousands of

:05:02. > :05:06.people around the world have tried it. It is a sport that really does

:05:07. > :05:25.make you feel like you are flying. That was quite possibly the coolest

:05:26. > :05:40.thing that I have ever done. In football,

:05:41. > :05:42.Manchester United have agreed a British transfer record of nearly

:05:43. > :05:45.?60 million for Real Madrid winger Angel De Maria, who could sign

:05:46. > :05:46.today. On the pitch, Manchester City came

:05:47. > :05:48.out on top in the battle of last

:05:49. > :05:51.season's top two last night. They beat Liverpool 3-1 with

:05:52. > :05:56.two goals from Stevan Jovetic. That's all from me, Newsround's back

:05:57. > :06:00.right here in about half an hour.
