:00:09. > :00:15.The World Health Organisation holds an emergency meeting on the Ebola

:00:16. > :00:20.outbreak in West Africa - as new cases are confirmed in Nigeria.

:00:21. > :00:22.As residents of Gaza try to rebuild their lives, Israelis

:00:23. > :00:29.and Palestinians are holding indirect peace talks in Cairo.

:00:30. > :00:32.The European space probe, Rosetta, has begun to orbit a comet - the

:00:33. > :00:42.How commuters in Australia helped free a man trapped between

:00:43. > :01:02.In west Africa, in the past hour, Nigeria has confirmed five new

:01:03. > :01:08.cases of Ebola in Lagos, as well as a second death from the virus.

:01:09. > :01:12.Nearly 900 people have died across four west African countries since

:01:13. > :01:17.The World Health Organisation is holding an emergency meeting to

:01:18. > :01:24.It's considering whether to declare a global health emergency.

:01:25. > :01:32.Let?s get details from the BBC's Tomi Oladipo in Lagos.

:01:33. > :01:44.What are the latest details? These five cases add to the existing two

:01:45. > :01:53.that were recorded, and one of them was the first person, a Liberian

:01:54. > :02:03.man, and the other people are believed to have come in contact

:02:04. > :02:10.with him. So far, it comes to a total of seven. I'll be in complete

:02:11. > :02:18.isolation, do we know how they are being cheated? Eight people had been

:02:19. > :02:25.placed in isolation. The work being tested. That is were the other

:02:26. > :02:35.results would have come from. It is people in total had believed to have

:02:36. > :02:40.been showing some symptoms. It has been said that Liberia, some

:02:41. > :02:46.countries, the demand may be too much on the health care systems, the

:02:47. > :02:53.infrastructure, do you think Nigeria will be able to handle it?

:02:54. > :03:06.Nigeria's government has been saying that it has been sipping up its

:03:07. > :03:12.operations. -- stepping up. Doctors have been on strike. That will be a

:03:13. > :03:16.major challenge to find the personnel to treat people, so they

:03:17. > :03:20.will be pleading with the doctors to come back and deal with this

:03:21. > :03:21.epidemic. The government has not said how it would deal with this

:03:22. > :03:32.particular situation. Thank you. It's been an epic mission, racing

:03:33. > :03:35.through billions of kilometres of space, but after a journey

:03:36. > :03:37.lasting more than a decade, the comet-chasing spacecraft Rosetta has

:03:38. > :03:39.finally reached its destination. In an historic first,

:03:40. > :03:41.Rosetta is now orbiting around the comet in a triangular

:03:42. > :03:44.pattern - there's so little gravity Rosetta's instruments will

:03:45. > :03:47.investigate the structure of the comet, what it's made of,

:03:48. > :04:10.how much water there is, and Mission control... A real sense of

:04:11. > :04:13.excitement here, the news was announced about 55 minutes ago

:04:14. > :04:16.Rosetta announced about 55 minutes

:04:17. > :04:25.spacecraft had made a historic milestone. It had finally got into

:04:26. > :04:29.orbit. This has taken ten years for the spacecraft to get there. It has

:04:30. > :04:42.travelled 6.4 billion come met us. It has been and it picked journey.

:04:43. > :04:47.-- It has been an epic journey. But they had to slow it down, to bring

:04:48. > :04:54.about 100, Robert Oswald week, and that means that Rosetta is now

:04:55. > :04:58.orbiting around the comment. I am there with the former mission

:04:59. > :05:02.manager of Rosetta. He has been involved with the project since its

:05:03. > :05:09.inception in the 1980s. This has been a long-time coming? A long-time

:05:10. > :05:14.coming, it is like mission accomplished. This is the dream that

:05:15. > :05:19.we had in the 1980s, a long time ago and we have been working hard and

:05:20. > :05:25.overcoming obstacles. Now we can start the science, that we thought

:05:26. > :05:34.only one time ago, and we have done a lot of work to create this and it

:05:35. > :05:37.is great that we have arrived. It has already thrown out the juice of

:05:38. > :05:51.prizes, we have been taking some pictures, and you have got a printed

:05:52. > :05:58.murder? It is totally unexpected. We were surprised that it looks like

:05:59. > :06:06.this. We could not have chosen a much better target. This is based on

:06:07. > :06:16.information that we had weeks ago. It shows that we are now basically

:06:17. > :06:20.orbiting around this. Much better pictures in the last few days but we

:06:21. > :06:31.do not work so fast, it is just fascinating and promises even more

:06:32. > :06:37.of insights into how, to work. -- how comets work. It is fascinating

:06:38. > :06:46.and it promises it promises in what of the science. Thank you. As you

:06:47. > :06:50.can see, this is going to be very difficult, just to get around, it is

:06:51. > :07:00.very strange looking, it has been described as a sort of ruber duck.

:07:01. > :07:05.The challenge is going to be landing on it. Over the next few weeks,

:07:06. > :07:15.scientists will be searching for a site. They will need some where they

:07:16. > :07:20.can drop the ladder. That is going to be a nerve-wracking that of the

:07:21. > :07:28.mission. It is going to go down onto the surface and be bombarded with

:07:29. > :07:32.gas and dust. That is not happening until November, so for the next few

:07:33. > :07:47.weeks it is going to be a case of studying the comment. -- comet.

:07:48. > :07:58.Thank you. We will keep you date with Rosetta.

:07:59. > :08:01.Three civilians have been killed in the eastern Ukrainian city

:08:02. > :08:03.of Donetsk after overnight fighting between government forces

:08:04. > :08:07.Ukrainian troops have been making gains in recent days as they battle

:08:08. > :08:11.Brazil's Supreme Court has granted bail to the British man who's been

:08:12. > :08:14.held in a Rio prison on charges of illegally selling World Cup tickets.

:08:15. > :08:16.Ray Whelan is director of Match Hospitality which sold VIP

:08:17. > :08:19.He denies charges of ticket touting and money laundering.

:08:20. > :08:22.The losing candidate of Indonesia's presidential election has launched a

:08:23. > :08:25.Prabowo Subianto is alleging widespread fraud in the vote which

:08:26. > :08:44.A cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that ended almost a month

:08:45. > :08:49.Both sides are meeting in Cairo to try to work out a longer term deal.

:08:50. > :08:52.This is the view over the Gaza-Israel boundary right now.

:08:53. > :08:53.These are live pictures of Gaza City.

:08:54. > :08:55.Thousands of displaced Palestinians have been returning to

:08:56. > :09:00.The US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged both parties to move

:09:01. > :09:33.People leaving the UN shelters. Representatives of Hamas are also in

:09:34. > :09:38.Cairo. The Israeli-Palestinian talks are being mediated by Egypt - Sally

:09:39. > :09:43.Nabil is in Cairo. Is any information coming out of the

:09:44. > :09:47.meetings? It is very secretive, we have been trying to speak to some

:09:48. > :09:54.members of the Palestinian delegation in Cairo and they said

:09:55. > :09:59.they cannot meet any statements. No signs of an agreement so far.

:10:00. > :10:10.Actually, a couple of points that may complicate things. They are

:10:11. > :10:16.indirect talks, but Cairo is having a tough task, because the demands

:10:17. > :10:20.presented by both sides, they are quite distant from each other. It

:10:21. > :10:29.will take a lot of effort to reach a compromise. As real as insisting on

:10:30. > :10:35.the demilitarisation, at once Hamas to put its weapons down. That has

:10:36. > :10:40.been rejected by the Palestinian movement, saying that they cannot

:10:41. > :10:47.put down weapons, because they consider themselves the resistance

:10:48. > :10:50.movement. Hamas, they are demanding the release of some of the

:10:51. > :10:58.Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. As well as lifting the

:10:59. > :11:02.blockade, these demands have not been a keen to by Israel. It will be

:11:03. > :11:09.difficult for the mediators to try to get off of the sides to agree to

:11:10. > :11:16.compromise. Because of the relationship between the government

:11:17. > :11:20.in Cairo and Hamas, they are saying that Cairo may not be the place to

:11:21. > :11:29.have these discussions, but it is a better option than not having any

:11:30. > :11:36.discussions whatsoever? The relations between Hamas and the

:11:37. > :11:45.government here is quite tense. If you months ago, a ruling to police,

:11:46. > :11:52.because the government sees Hamas as an offshoot of the Muslim

:11:53. > :11:57.Brotherhood. This may complicate the mediation. So far, no other country

:11:58. > :12:07.has submitted a cease-fire initiative than here in Cairo. No

:12:08. > :12:13.initiative. So far, the initiative here is the only one which has

:12:14. > :12:28.international recognition. Thank you. Stay with us on BBC World News,

:12:29. > :12:38.still to come: The biggest case of hacking. And a man freed from an

:12:39. > :12:45.Australian train. French police have had to break up

:12:46. > :12:48.fights between African migrants, As many as 300 people from Sudan

:12:49. > :12:52.and Eritrea attacked each other using stones and knives

:12:53. > :12:56.at a food distribution centre. Calais is seen

:12:57. > :12:58.as the gateway to Britain for many of the migrants, who have made the

:12:59. > :13:01.journey across the Mediterranean Sea, via Lampedusa, to the Italian

:13:02. > :13:03.mainland, and into France. Our correspondent Emma

:13:04. > :13:05.Jane Kirby is in Calais. 18 months ago when I last came to

:13:06. > :13:08.Calais there were about 300 migrants Now, some 1,500 of them,

:13:09. > :13:11.and makeshift camps Police say they want to bulldoze

:13:12. > :13:17.these camps, as they have done The problem is,

:13:18. > :13:21.where do these people go? They'd just come back and make

:13:22. > :13:24.other camps somewhere else. All of these migrants are

:13:25. > :13:28.hoping to get to England. That is where they think they'll be

:13:29. > :13:34.able to find work But police here say they can no

:13:35. > :13:39.longer cope with such numbers, In the last few days, fights have

:13:40. > :13:44.broken up between Sudanese Police say it's time to close these

:13:45. > :14:00.camps and stop people coming here. But, with the wars in Syria and

:14:01. > :14:03.East Africa, it's pretty likely that the migrants in Calais are simply

:14:04. > :14:21.set to get bigger. Could the humble painkiller,

:14:22. > :14:22.aspirin, reduce the risk British researchers

:14:23. > :14:30.seem to think it can. They've found that taking

:14:31. > :14:32.a daily dose of aspirin can reduce the chance of developing or dying

:14:33. > :14:35.from bowel and stomach cancer. The study found that the life-saving

:14:36. > :14:38.benefits of aspirin outweighed a small number of deaths, which were

:14:39. > :14:41.caused by strokes or stomach bleeds. It recommends people in their 50s

:14:42. > :14:44.and early 60s talk to their doctor The European space probe, Rosetta,

:14:45. > :14:51.is flying alongside a comet The first time this

:14:52. > :14:54.has been achieved. A second death and more cases

:14:55. > :14:57.of Ebola are confirmed in Nigeria, as the World Health Organisation

:14:58. > :14:59.considers emergency measures to try A US firm specialising

:15:00. > :15:04.in discovering internet hacking says it's found the largest data

:15:05. > :15:07.breach known to date. Hold Security says a ring of Russian

:15:08. > :15:09.criminals has hacked a massive 1.2 billion usernames

:15:10. > :15:12.and passwords as well as more than The company says

:15:13. > :15:18.the stolen information was collected from more than 420,000 websites

:15:19. > :15:20.inside Russia as well as major With me now is Professor Ian Brown

:15:21. > :15:37.from the Oxford Internet Institute. The thing that strikes me about this

:15:38. > :15:44.is it all happened so many months ago and it took seven months to get

:15:45. > :15:51.all of this data and understand what it was that it had revealed. It

:15:52. > :15:56.could be too late, mightn't it? It's not too late for people to think

:15:57. > :16:00.they are affected. Not too late to change passwords and put different

:16:01. > :16:04.passwords on different websites. That's the big thing to come out of

:16:05. > :16:07.these data breaches. If you're using the same password on a number of

:16:08. > :16:12.different sites, especially your bank, it only takes one breach for

:16:13. > :16:15.all your accounts to be compromised. We don't know X Factor which

:16:16. > :16:19.websites are being hacked so why don't they give out information?

:16:20. > :16:31.That's the most important thing to us. What they have done is offered

:16:32. > :16:34.to reveal information about the breach providing security

:16:35. > :16:37.consulting. I can understand the company needs to find ways to fund

:16:38. > :16:41.the extensive research which has gone into this, but a lot of people

:16:42. > :16:44.think it would be better for them to notify the affected websites and to

:16:45. > :16:50.look to provide consulting on the back of that. Do you do to Internet

:16:51. > :16:57.banking? Would you recommend people use it? Is it simple to do it the

:16:58. > :17:01.old-fashioned way? I personally do use Internet banking. A piece of

:17:02. > :17:07.software which is useful in helping people to use passwords is password

:17:08. > :17:14.manager software. It is built into some web browsers like Firefox and

:17:15. > :17:20.Macintosh. If there is one thing people should take away from this is

:17:21. > :17:24.to make use of that software to avoid being affected by these kinds

:17:25. > :17:27.of breaches in future. What were these Russian criminal gangs be

:17:28. > :17:33.doing with the information? Were they tried to access our details and

:17:34. > :17:39.bank accounts themselves or sell it on? They are mainly using it to send

:17:40. > :17:45.spam through compromised account which can in the money, but there

:17:46. > :17:51.are efficient underground market now where criminals can send information

:17:52. > :17:54.and get money on the back of it. They don't even have to take

:17:55. > :18:01.advantage of the information themselves. How secure is the

:18:02. > :18:06.Internet? It could be a lot more secure. We hear every time there is

:18:07. > :18:12.one of these data breach stories, way up to 1.2 billion, where next?

:18:13. > :18:16.The software that is running the Internet and running peoples PCs

:18:17. > :18:25.smartphones needs to move up a notch of security to stop this going on.

:18:26. > :18:28.We appreciate this. It affects everybody who uses the Internet.

:18:29. > :18:32.The authorities in China say almost 600 people are now known to have

:18:33. > :18:34.died in the earthquake that hit the south western province of Yunnan

:18:35. > :18:38.All of the casualties reported so far are in the town of Jhao-tong,

:18:39. > :18:43.Volunteers have been asked to stay away from the affected area,

:18:44. > :18:45.as they were causing traffic jams and hampering the work

:18:46. > :18:57.It's been an absolute nightmare for rescue crews working in this area.

:18:58. > :19:01.It's no stranger to earthquakes but emergency workers are saying it's

:19:02. > :19:06.almost impossible to get to some of the most distant towns affected by

:19:07. > :19:19.the earthquake simply because there are very steep, narrow roads leading

:19:20. > :19:23.through the mountains where the earthquake's epicentre was

:19:24. > :19:26.located on a spin by difficult for rescue crews to navigate landslides,

:19:27. > :19:29.very torrential rain, and simply to move through these roads to get to

:19:30. > :19:39.The death toll has jumped up recently today by almost 200 people

:19:40. > :19:41.went from 400 to almost 600 people, and that's because

:19:42. > :19:44.rescue crews were finally able to reach some of those distant villages

:19:45. > :19:49.that were affected by the quake and when they got there unfortunately

:19:50. > :19:52.they found many more victims of the earthquake than they were expecting.

:19:53. > :19:54.Is there any chance of still possibly finding people

:19:55. > :19:57.It's happened in other earthquakes, possibly even after two weeks there

:19:58. > :20:05.Rescue crews are still looking, they are still digging through

:20:06. > :20:07.the rubble very carefully in many of these villagers

:20:08. > :20:11.One official Chinese official who was recently interviewed on Chinese

:20:12. > :20:18.state television said that they are still holding out hope that there

:20:19. > :20:21.will be more survivors found but, as time goes on, and simply as this

:20:22. > :20:24.rain continues in this area, I think prospects for finding more

:20:25. > :20:30.What is the nearest big city where people

:20:31. > :20:38.could be taken to if they need that kind of urgent medical treatment?

:20:39. > :20:41.We do have a city located just outside the mountainous area and

:20:42. > :20:46.of course there is the capital, but it does take a very long time.

:20:47. > :20:51.Rescue crews have been using helicopters to try to reach some

:20:52. > :20:54.of the distant villages and they have been trying to airlift

:20:55. > :20:56.people out of those villages using helicopters because the roads are

:20:57. > :21:04.As you mentioned before, very well-meaning volunteers are

:21:05. > :21:09.They've been trying to get into the quake zone to deliver aid

:21:10. > :21:17.This is a phenomenon we've seen in past earthquakes in China,

:21:18. > :21:22.so the government is also telling volunteers to stay out

:21:23. > :21:25.of the quake zone and let the aid workers get on with their work.

:21:26. > :21:27.Police in Kenya say they have arrested what

:21:28. > :21:29.they call a high-value al-Shabaab suspect in the capital Nairobi.

:21:30. > :21:31.A senior police officer said the suspect,

:21:32. > :21:34.thought to be Hassan Hanafi, crossed the border from Somalia into

:21:35. > :21:38.He is suspected of being behind the murder of journalists in Mogadishu.

:21:39. > :21:40.Somali security sources say Mr Hanafi claims his is a case

:21:41. > :21:46.The BBC's Dennis Okari in Nairobi says some details about the arrest

:21:47. > :22:00.So far, what the Kenya police are saying is he is a senior al-Shabaab

:22:01. > :22:03.operative. We are yet to confirm his rank in their hierarchy but he is

:22:04. > :22:12.known to have joined al-Shabaab in 2006 after working for their radio

:22:13. > :22:15.in Somalia. He is expected to be behind the killings of journalists,

:22:16. > :22:22.20 in the last three years, in Mogadishu. Do we know his

:22:23. > :22:29.nationality? Somali. The police are saying they have been tracking him

:22:30. > :22:31.down with an operation with the Somali intelligence and before

:22:32. > :22:34.handing over to the Kenyan police, they have been trailing and it

:22:35. > :22:40.appears he has been sneaking into the country to the point where he

:22:41. > :22:44.arrested him. How useful is it the authority to capture him in terms

:22:45. > :22:47.what we know from previous captures of al-Shabaab suspects? How much

:22:48. > :22:55.information do they give the authorities? The two countries

:22:56. > :22:59.appear to be cooperating trying to track down Somali operatives,

:23:00. > :23:04.especially in the east, known as the Little Mogadishu. There have been

:23:05. > :23:07.police operations in the past there. They are working together with the

:23:08. > :23:16.Somali government to make sure they arrest those who were running into

:23:17. > :23:24.Kenya. In this case, Hassan Hanafi was looking for medical treatment.

:23:25. > :23:28.The cooperation has happened between these two countries and it's likely

:23:29. > :23:34.you'll be handed over to the Somali government and be tried inside

:23:35. > :23:38.Somalia? How was the fight going in Somalia against al-Shabaab itself?

:23:39. > :23:43.Who holds the balance of power in that struggle at the moment, do you

:23:44. > :23:48.think? The fight in Somalia at the moment against al-Shabaab, there is

:23:49. > :23:53.a posh coming in the next few days, the President has actually said the

:23:54. > :24:02.African union troops are trying to push al-Shabaab further inside

:24:03. > :24:05.Somalia. They are calling it operation Indian Ocean. They are

:24:06. > :24:09.pushing al-Shabaab and the president has confidence saying they are

:24:10. > :24:12.winning the fight and the attacks have introduced especially in Kenya.

:24:13. > :24:18.We have not had any attacks on the last few months except for what

:24:19. > :24:31.happened in London and Kenya. Thank you.

:24:32. > :24:33.Now to some dramatic video from Australia, where a man became

:24:34. > :24:36.caught between a train and the platform during morning rush hour.

:24:37. > :24:41.The man slips down the gap as he tries to board the train in Perth.

:24:42. > :24:43.When he's unable to move his leg, passengers

:24:44. > :24:46.and bystanders line up beside the train to rock it back and forth.

:24:47. > :24:49.They manage to tilt it just enough so that the man can free his leg

:24:50. > :24:53.Paramedics were called to the station,

:24:54. > :24:57.but fortunately the man wasn't badly injured and caught a later train.

:24:58. > :24:59.Earlier, I spoke to David Hynes, spokesman for TransPerth.

:25:00. > :25:02.He says a combination of people power and quick thinking by station

:25:03. > :25:09.It is our people on the ground, our station attendants,
