West Africa. He will be treated at a specialist isolation unit in London. | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
Health officials say that he is not seriously ill. The risk of Ebola | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
virus infection to the population of this country remains very low and it | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
is not changed by this decision. In northern Iraq there's growing | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
concern for thousands of people in one town, cut off by Islamic State | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
militants. Police have interviewed Sir Cliff Richard about an alleged | :00:50. | :00:51. | |

A British man who's contracted the Ebola virus while working | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
in Sierra Leone, is on his way back to the UK for specialist treatment. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
He is a health worker who'd volunteered to treat victims of | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
the outbreak, which has killed more than 1,400 people in west Africa. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Health officials say the man is "not seriously unwell" | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
at the moment; the infection was diagnosed at an early stage. | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
He was working at Kenema in Sierra Leone and | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
is now on his way back to the UK in a Royal Airforce plane bound | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
for RAF Northolt. From there, | :01:49. | :02:10. | |
he will be taken to a specialist unit in North London. | :02:11. | :02:11. | |
(ANI) Our The aeroplane carrying this man is | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
due to arrive in the UK in the next few hours, when it touches down, a | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
special ambulance will bring him here to this hospital, the isolation | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
unit is the only one of its kind in Europe. The man became ill with a | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
bowl in the past few days after working in one of the countries in | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
West Africa that has been particularly badly affected. Fear | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
has dominated this outbreak of the deadly volar virus. It has kept | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
patients away from clinics, there have been more than two and a half | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
thousand cases in West Africa. -- deadly Ebola virus. Now a British | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
man working at a treatment centre in one of the worst affected parts of | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
Sierra Leone is being flown home after falling ill. It would be in | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
the best interests of the patient, and the health of the patient, for | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
the patient to be brought back to the country. I would like to | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
emphasise that the risk of Ebola virus infection to the population of | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
this country remains very low, and has not changed by this decision. | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
This is where he will be treated. It is the isolation unit, it has a | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
special plastic tent, allowing the patient to receive food and | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
treatment without the virus being passed on. Intimidating environment, | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
but a necessary precaution, as one of the doctors told us: " it is a | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
little bit restrictive, because you cannot really move around, but for | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the patient, it is probably intimidating. Ebola only spreads | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
through direct contact with bodily fluids, the general public is not at | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
risk. Medical experts warned that you cannot take chances with this | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
virus. Once it infects a human, the mortality is very high. More than | :03:59. | :04:07. | |
50%. It is one of the most lethal infections. Quite why this is we do | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
not know, but it leads to the failure of many organs in the body, | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
and bleeding. To aid workers had to be flown back to America after | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
contracting Ebola in Liberia. -- two. They have both made a good | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
recovery and were allowed home from hospital last week. They were given | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
an experimental drug. Nobody can tell whether it helped their | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
recovery. Supplies of the treatment have now run out. So far, the | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
British patient is not seriously unwell. Doctors will be watching him | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
closely in the coming days. Bringing the British patient to this | :04:41. | :04:48. | |
hospital is part of a very careful, well rehearsed national plan, it is | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
designed to protect the UK from infectious diseases. The current | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
outbreak of Ebola has proved devastating in parts of West Africa. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Here, the risk to the public remains very low. Thank you very much, Jane. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
There have been new appeals for help from civilians in a town in northern | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
Iraq which is under siege by militants from the extremist group | :05:12. | :05:12. | |
Islamic state. 18,000 people are trapped in the | :05:13. | :05:24. | |
town of Amerli and are running short of food and water. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
Our correspondent Jim Muir has been to the front line nearby, | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
and has sent us this report. Kurdish Peshmerga fighters on the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
front line, close to besieged family town, this position has been | :05:33. | :05:34. | |
attacked several times by the Islamist 's, but the Kurdish have | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
held the line. -- close to the besieged town of early town. -- | :05:40. | :05:52. | |
Amerli. You can see their black flag on the building a few hundred meters | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
from here, this is the problem the outside world faces, and this is | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
what the town faces, nothing can get in, nobody can get out, they are | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
surrounded by militants. This man managed to escape just as the attack | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
was starting, but his family is still trapped in the town. They tell | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
him by telephone that conditions are desperate, with little food and | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
water and electricity. I asked him what would happen if the Islamic | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
statement and is moved in? TRANSLATION: They will start a war, | :06:22. | :06:35. | |
the people have no way out. The district mayor in the nearby town | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
appealed for the outside world to intervene, to avert a massacre in | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Amerli. We want military help, as has happened in other places. | :06:47. | :06:53. | |
Humanitarian aid, but also, support by the Americans, air support. We | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
wanted as soon as possible, to save the people of Amerli. The Americans | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
have been carrying out air strikes in support of Kurdish will seize | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
inside Iraqi Kurdistan. But Amerli is outside. The local Kurdish | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
commander says that his orders are to stay on the defensive. For the | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
moment, the besieged minority under threat at Amerli is on its own. | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
The search continues to identify a British member of Islamic state who | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
is suspected of killing the American journalist James Foley. The UK's | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
ambassador in Washington says the authorities believe they're now | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
"close" to establishing who he is. We are not yet in a position to say | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
exactly who this is but there is sophisticated voice identification | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
technology and other measures that we have got which should allow us to | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
be very clear about who this person is before very long. Just how close | :07:54. | :08:00. | |
are we to finding out who the killer of James Foley is? Identification of | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
the British jihadists, the British accented jihadists, could be close. | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
We know that there has been close cooperation between Britain and the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
US authorities. The hope of course is that the sophisticated voice | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
recognition techniques, that the ambassador was talking about, will | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
have been particularly helpful in narrowing down the possibilities. At | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
the same time, authorities have been pointing out that there is 500 | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
British jihadists who have gone to Syria and Iraq. Within the past | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
hour, the Al Jazeera News Channel has reported that an American | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
journalist who had been held hostage for nearly two years has been freed | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
and handed over to a United Nations representative. He has been named as | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
Peter Theo Curtis. He was kidnapped as he was found entering Syria from | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
Turkey. The channel says it was unclear which group abducted him. If | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
that is some good news, in the bleak picture of this past week, in which | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
we learned of the beheading of James Foley, then there are, it must be | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
remembered, other hostages still being held. Thank you very much. | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Sir Cliff Richard has been interviewed by police, investigating | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
an allegation of sexual assault. The claim which Sir Cliff denies, | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
involves a boy under the age of 16 and dates back to the 1980s. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |

investigation, officers removed a number of items from the property. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Cliff Richard was in Portugal at the time. Welcome tonight, Cliff | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
Richard! The assault is alleged to have taken place at a Christian | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
rally in Sheffield in 1985, organised by an American Evangelist, | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
Billy Graham. Cliff Richard was a regular guest at his rallies. In a | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
statement, a spokesman has said that Cliff Richard cooperated fully with | :10:25. | :10:27. | |

Cliff Richard has been staying at his villa in Portugal over the | :10:32. | :10:44. | |
summer, and since the allegation, has cancelled a number of high | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
profile public appearances, and charity events. | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
The governor of California has declared a state of emergency after | :10:55. | :11:00. | |

80 people have been treated in hospital, three of them for serious | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
injuries, and thousands of homes have been left without electricity. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
The epicentre was in the Napa Valley, north of San Francisco. | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
Pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine have marched dozens of | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
captured government troops through the city of Donetsk. It happened | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
today as Ukranians celebrated Independence Day, with President | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Petro Poroshenko pledging to spend around three-billion dollars | :11:26. | :11:26. | |
re-equipping the military in the next three years. Here's Steve | :11:27. | :11:27. | |
Rosenberg. It looked like the kind of parade | :11:28. | :11:38. | |
that you would see on Moscow's red Square, but this was Kiev, today. A | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
display of defiance and military might, to mark Ukraine's | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
Independence Day. President Petro Poroshenko said that his country was | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
fighting a war against foreign aggression. He was confident Ukraine | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
would win. But in eastern Ukraine, this was the response from the | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
pro-Russia separatists: In violation of the Geneva | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
Convention, they paraded captured Ukrainian soldiers, their prisoners | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
of war, through the centre of the nets, and they vowed to continue | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
their fight against clear. -- Donetsk. Ten miles from the front | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
line, this town, the name of which means "happiness". But the local | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
hospital, I met and 89 your old. And if you days ago, an artillery shell | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
destroyed her home. She does not know who fired it. Was it the army | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
or the militants? -- I met and 89-year-old woman. She says that she | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
managed to survive World War II, she cannot understand why there is | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
another war now. According to United Nations, more than 2000 people have | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
been killed in eastern Ukraine since the violence began. Hundreds of | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
thousands have fled their homes. Victims of a war that shows no sign | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
of ending. Across town, this Ukrainian battalion showed us around | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
their base. They are armed volunteers, they call themselves the | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
Cinderella squad. They keep their prisoners down here in the cellar. | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
Everybody into the corner, says the commander, so that the camera cannot | :13:15. | :13:20. | |
see your faces. The soldiers say that they are unimpressed by the | :13:21. | :13:32. | |
military show in Kiev. TRANSLATION: We need those tanks here, not Kiev, | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
it was like dancing on the graves of Comrade. But they say that they will | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
be able to defeat them, and reunite the country. The Formula One driver | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Lewis Hamilton has claimed that his Miss Adie 's team-mate Nico Rosberg | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
admitted deliberately crashing into him during today's Belgian Grand | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
Prix. Hamilton's world title hopes took a big blow after the early | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
collision with Rosberg, which forced him to retire. The German went on to | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
finish second behind Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo, extending his lead | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
over Hamilton in the driver's championship to 29 points. Nick | :14:02. | :14:02. | |
Parrot reports. For the third time this year, Lewis | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
Hamilton's race ended in bitter disappointment. It would seem no | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
matter how hard he tries, his team-mate and championship rival | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
Nico Rosberg comes off better. At first, victory looked likely for the | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Britain, as he roared off the line at spa, beating the German to the | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
first corner, but hopes evaporated on just the second lap. A puncture | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
so Lewis Hamilton limp into the pits, and other damage to his car | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
eventually forced him out with five laps remaining. The front wing of | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Nico Rosberg had to be changed, handing the lead to Daniel Riccardo | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
of Red Bull Racing. Despite the self-inflicted damage, the German | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
battled back from 15 up to second place, but the gap to Daniel | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Riccardo was too great, once again, the Australian benefited from | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
Mercedes problems to claim his third win of the season. That sees Nico | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
Rosberg extend his championship lead to 29 points. But he received | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
bullying on the podium, the crowd was as angry as Hamilton and the | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
Mercedes boss, who described the crash as "absolutely unacceptable". | :15:12. | :15:12. | |
-- booing. | :15:13. | :15:17. |
