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.
