In west Africa, in the past hour, Nigeria has confirmed five new | :00:43. | :01:02. | |
cases of Ebola in Lagos, as well as a second death from the virus. | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
Nearly 900 people have died across four west African countries since | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
The World Health Organisation is holding an emergency meeting to | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
It's considering whether to declare a global health emergency. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
Let?s get details from the BBC's Tomi Oladipo in Lagos. | :01:25. | :01:32. | |
What are the latest details? These five cases add to the existing two | :01:33. | :01:44. | |
that were recorded, and one of them was the first person, a Liberian | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
man, and the other people are believed to have come in contact | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
with him. So far, it comes to a total of seven. I'll be in complete | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
isolation, do we know how they are being cheated? Eight people had been | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
placed in isolation. The work being tested. That is were the other | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
results would have come from. It is people in total had believed to have | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
been showing some symptoms. It has been said that Liberia, some | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
countries, the demand may be too much on the health care systems, the | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
infrastructure, do you think Nigeria will be able to handle it? | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
Nigeria's government has been saying that it has been sipping up its | :02:54. | :03:06. | |
operations. -- stepping up. Doctors have been on strike. That will be a | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
major challenge to find the personnel to treat people, so they | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
will be pleading with the doctors to come back and deal with this | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
epidemic. The government has not said how it would deal with this | :03:21. | :03:21. | |
particular situation. Thank you. It's been an epic mission, racing | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
through billions of kilometres of space, but after a journey | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
lasting more than a decade, the comet-chasing spacecraft Rosetta has | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
finally reached its destination. In an historic first, | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
Rosetta is now orbiting around the comet in a triangular | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
pattern - there's so little gravity Rosetta's instruments will | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
investigate the structure of the comet, what it's made of, | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
how much water there is, and Mission control... A real sense of | :03:48. | :04:10. | |
excitement here, the news was announced about 55 minutes ago | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Rosetta announced about 55 minutes | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
spacecraft had made a historic milestone. It had finally got into | :04:17. | :04:25. | |
orbit. This has taken ten years for the spacecraft to get there. It has | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
travelled 6.4 billion come met us. It has been and it picked journey. | :04:30. | :04:42. | |
-- It has been an epic journey. But they had to slow it down, to bring | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
about 100, Robert Oswald week, and that means that Rosetta is now | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
orbiting around the comment. I am there with the former mission | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
manager of Rosetta. He has been involved with the project since its | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
inception in the 1980s. This has been a long-time coming? A long-time | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
coming, it is like mission accomplished. This is the dream that | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
we had in the 1980s, a long time ago and we have been working hard and | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
overcoming obstacles. Now we can start the science, that we thought | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
only one time ago, and we have done a lot of work to create this and it | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
is great that we have arrived. It has already thrown out the juice of | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
prizes, we have been taking some pictures, and you have got a printed | :05:38. | :05:51. | |
murder? It is totally unexpected. We were surprised that it looks like | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
this. We could not have chosen a much better target. This is based on | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
information that we had weeks ago. It shows that we are now basically | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
orbiting around this. Much better pictures in the last few days but we | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
do not work so fast, it is just fascinating and promises even more | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
of insights into how, to work. -- how comets work. It is fascinating | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
and it promises it promises in what of the science. Thank you. As you | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
can see, this is going to be very difficult, just to get around, it is | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
very strange looking, it has been described as a sort of ruber duck. | :06:51. | :07:00. | |
The challenge is going to be landing on it. Over the next few weeks, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
scientists will be searching for a site. They will need some where they | :07:06. | :07:15. | |
can drop the ladder. That is going to be a nerve-wracking that of the | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
mission. It is going to go down onto the surface and be bombarded with | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
gas and dust. That is not happening until November, so for the next few | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
weeks it is going to be a case of studying the comment. -- comet. | :07:33. | :07:47. | |
Thank you. We will keep you date with Rosetta. | :07:48. | :07:58. | |
Three civilians have been killed in the eastern Ukrainian city | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
of Donetsk after overnight fighting between government forces | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
Ukrainian troops have been making gains in recent days as they battle | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Brazil's Supreme Court has granted bail to the British man who's been | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
held in a Rio prison on charges of illegally selling World Cup tickets. | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
Ray Whelan is director of Match Hospitality which sold VIP | :08:15. | :08:16. | |

The losing candidate of Indonesia's presidential election has launched a | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Prabowo Subianto is alleging widespread fraud in the vote which | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
A cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that ended almost a month | :08:26. | :08:44. | |
Both sides are meeting in Cairo to try to work out a longer term deal. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
This is the view over the Gaza-Israel boundary right now. | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
These are live pictures of Gaza City. | :08:53. | :08:53. | |
Thousands of displaced Palestinians have been returning to | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
The US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged both parties to move | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
People leaving the UN shelters. Representatives of Hamas are also in | :09:01. | :09:33. | |
Cairo. The Israeli-Palestinian talks are being mediated by Egypt - Sally | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
Nabil is in Cairo. Is any information coming out of the | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
meetings? It is very secretive, we have been trying to speak to some | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
members of the Palestinian delegation in Cairo and they said | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
they cannot meet any statements. No signs of an agreement so far. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Actually, a couple of points that may complicate things. They are | :10:00. | :10:10. | |
indirect talks, but Cairo is having a tough task, because the demands | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
presented by both sides, they are quite distant from each other. It | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
will take a lot of effort to reach a compromise. As real as insisting on | :10:21. | :10:29. | |
the demilitarisation, at once Hamas to put its weapons down. That has | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
been rejected by the Palestinian movement, saying that they cannot | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
put down weapons, because they consider themselves the resistance | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
movement. Hamas, they are demanding the release of some of the | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. As well as lifting the | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
blockade, these demands have not been a keen to by Israel. It will be | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
difficult for the mediators to try to get off of the sides to agree to | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
compromise. Because of the relationship between the government | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
in Cairo and Hamas, they are saying that Cairo may not be the place to | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
have these discussions, but it is a better option than not having any | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
discussions whatsoever? The relations between Hamas and the | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
government here is quite tense. If you months ago, a ruling to police, | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
because the government sees Hamas as an offshoot of the Muslim | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
Brotherhood. This may complicate the mediation. So far, no other country | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
has submitted a cease-fire initiative than here in Cairo. No | :11:58. | :12:07. | |
initiative. So far, the initiative here is the only one which has | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
international recognition. Thank you. Stay with us on BBC World News, | :12:14. | :12:28. | |
still to come: The biggest case of hacking. And a man freed from an | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
Australian train. French police have had to break up | :12:39. | :12:45. | |
fights between African migrants, As many as 300 people from Sudan | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
and Eritrea attacked each other using stones and knives | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
at a food distribution centre. Calais is seen | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
as the gateway to Britain for many of the migrants, who have made the | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
journey across the Mediterranean Sea, via Lampedusa, to the Italian | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
mainland, and into France. Our correspondent Emma | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
Jane Kirby is in Calais. 18 months ago when I last came to | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Calais there were about 300 migrants Now, some 1,500 of them, | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
and makeshift camps Police say they want to bulldoze | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
these camps, as they have done The problem is, | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
where do these people go? They'd just come back and make | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
other camps somewhere else. All of these migrants are | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
hoping to get to England. That is where they think they'll be | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
able to find work But police here say they can no | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
longer cope with such numbers, In the last few days, fights have | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
broken up between Sudanese Police say it's time to close these | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
camps and stop people coming here. But, with the wars in Syria and | :13:45. | :14:00. | |
East Africa, it's pretty likely that the migrants in Calais are simply | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
set to get bigger. Could the humble painkiller, | :14:04. | :14:21. | |
aspirin, reduce the risk British researchers | :14:22. | :14:22. | |
seem to think it can. They've found that taking | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
a daily dose of aspirin can reduce the chance of developing or dying | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
from bowel and stomach cancer. The study found that the life-saving | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
benefits of aspirin outweighed a small number of deaths, which were | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
caused by strokes or stomach bleeds. It recommends people in their 50s | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
and early 60s talk to their doctor The European space probe, Rosetta, | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
is flying alongside a comet The first time this | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
has been achieved. A second death and more cases | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
of Ebola are confirmed in Nigeria, as the World Health Organisation | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
considers emergency measures to try A US firm specialising | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
in discovering internet hacking says it's found the largest data | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
breach known to date. Hold Security says a ring of Russian | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
criminals has hacked a massive 1.2 billion usernames | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
and passwords as well as more than The company says | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
the stolen information was collected from more than 420,000 websites | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
inside Russia as well as major With me now is Professor Ian Brown | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
from the Oxford Internet Institute. The thing that strikes me about this | :15:21. | :15:37. | |
is it all happened so many months ago and it took seven months to get | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
all of this data and understand what it was that it had revealed. It | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
could be too late, mightn't it? It's not too late for people to think | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
they are affected. Not too late to change passwords and put different | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
passwords on different websites. That's the big thing to come out of | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
these data breaches. If you're using the same password on a number of | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
different sites, especially your bank, it only takes one breach for | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
all your accounts to be compromised. We don't know X Factor which | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
websites are being hacked so why don't they give out information? | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
That's the most important thing to us. What they have done is offered | :16:20. | :16:31. | |
to reveal information about the breach providing security | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
consulting. I can understand the company needs to find ways to fund | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
the extensive research which has gone into this, but a lot of people | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
think it would be better for them to notify the affected websites and to | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
look to provide consulting on the back of that. Do you do to Internet | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
banking? Would you recommend people use it? Is it simple to do it the | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
old-fashioned way? I personally do use Internet banking. A piece of | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
software which is useful in helping people to use passwords is password | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
manager software. It is built into some web browsers like Firefox and | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
Macintosh. If there is one thing people should take away from this is | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
to make use of that software to avoid being affected by these kinds | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
of breaches in future. What were these Russian criminal gangs be | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
doing with the information? Were they tried to access our details and | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
bank accounts themselves or sell it on? They are mainly using it to send | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
spam through compromised account which can in the money, but there | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
are efficient underground market now where criminals can send information | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
and get money on the back of it. They don't even have to take | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
advantage of the information themselves. How secure is the | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
Internet? It could be a lot more secure. We hear every time there is | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
one of these data breach stories, way up to 1.2 billion, where next? | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
The software that is running the Internet and running peoples PCs | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
smartphones needs to move up a notch of security to stop this going on. | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
We appreciate this. It affects everybody who uses the Internet. | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
The authorities in China say almost 600 people are now known to have | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
died in the earthquake that hit the south western province of Yunnan | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
All of the casualties reported so far are in the town of Jhao-tong, | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
Volunteers have been asked to stay away from the affected area, | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
as they were causing traffic jams and hampering the work | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
It's been an absolute nightmare for rescue crews working in this area. | :18:46. | :18:57. | |
It's no stranger to earthquakes but emergency workers are saying it's | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
almost impossible to get to some of the most distant towns affected by | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
the earthquake simply because there are very steep, narrow roads leading | :19:07. | :19:19. | |
through the mountains where the earthquake's epicentre was | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
located on a spin by difficult for rescue crews to navigate landslides, | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
very torrential rain, and simply to move through these roads to get to | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
The death toll has jumped up recently today by almost 200 people | :19:30. | :19:39. | |
went from 400 to almost 600 people, and that's because | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
rescue crews were finally able to reach some of those distant villages | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
that were affected by the quake and when they got there unfortunately | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
they found many more victims of the earthquake than they were expecting. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
Is there any chance of still possibly finding people | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
It's happened in other earthquakes, possibly even after two weeks there | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
Rescue crews are still looking, they are still digging through | :19:58. | :20:05. | |
the rubble very carefully in many of these villagers | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
One official Chinese official who was recently interviewed on Chinese | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
state television said that they are still holding out hope that there | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
will be more survivors found but, as time goes on, and simply as this | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
rain continues in this area, I think prospects for finding more | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
What is the nearest big city where people | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
could be taken to if they need that kind of urgent medical treatment? | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
We do have a city located just outside the mountainous area and | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
of course there is the capital, but it does take a very long time. | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
Rescue crews have been using helicopters to try to reach some | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
of the distant villages and they have been trying to airlift | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
people out of those villages using helicopters because the roads are | :20:55. | :20:56. | |
As you mentioned before, very well-meaning volunteers are | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
They've been trying to get into the quake zone to deliver aid | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
This is a phenomenon we've seen in past earthquakes in China, | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
so the government is also telling volunteers to stay out | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
of the quake zone and let the aid workers get on with their work. | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
Police in Kenya say they have arrested what | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
they call a high-value al-Shabaab suspect in the capital Nairobi. | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
A senior police officer said the suspect, | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
thought to be Hassan Hanafi, crossed the border from Somalia into | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
He is suspected of being behind the murder of journalists in Mogadishu. | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
Somali security sources say Mr Hanafi claims his is a case | :21:39. | :21:40. | |
The BBC's Dennis Okari in Nairobi says some details about the arrest | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
So far, what the Kenya police are saying is he is a senior al-Shabaab | :21:47. | :22:00. | |
operative. We are yet to confirm his rank in their hierarchy but he is | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
known to have joined al-Shabaab in 2006 after working for their radio | :22:04. | :22:12. | |
in Somalia. He is expected to be behind the killings of journalists, | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
20 in the last three years, in Mogadishu. Do we know his | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
nationality? Somali. The police are saying they have been tracking him | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
down with an operation with the Somali intelligence and before | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
handing over to the Kenyan police, they have been trailing and it | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
appears he has been sneaking into the country to the point where he | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
arrested him. How useful is it the authority to capture him in terms | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
what we know from previous captures of al-Shabaab suspects? How much | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
information do they give the authorities? The two countries | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
appear to be cooperating trying to track down Somali operatives, | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
especially in the east, known as the Little Mogadishu. There have been | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
police operations in the past there. They are working together with the | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
Somali government to make sure they arrest those who were running into | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
Kenya. In this case, Hassan Hanafi was looking for medical treatment. | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
The cooperation has happened between these two countries and it's likely | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
you'll be handed over to the Somali government and be tried inside | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
Somalia? How was the fight going in Somalia against al-Shabaab itself? | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
Who holds the balance of power in that struggle at the moment, do you | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
think? The fight in Somalia at the moment against al-Shabaab, there is | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
a posh coming in the next few days, the President has actually said the | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
African union troops are trying to push al-Shabaab further inside | :23:54. | :24:02. | |
Somalia. They are calling it operation Indian Ocean. They are | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
pushing al-Shabaab and the president has confidence saying they are | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
winning the fight and the attacks have introduced especially in Kenya. | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
We have not had any attacks on the last few months except for what | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
happened in London and Kenya. Thank you. | :24:19. | :24:31. | |
Now to some dramatic video from Australia, where a man became | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
caught between a train and the platform during morning rush hour. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
The man slips down the gap as he tries to board the train in Perth. | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
When he's unable to move his leg, passengers | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
and bystanders line up beside the train to rock it back and forth. | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
They manage to tilt it just enough so that the man can free his leg | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
Paramedics were called to the station, | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
but fortunately the man wasn't badly injured and caught a later train. | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Earlier, I spoke to David Hynes, spokesman for TransPerth. | :24:58. | :24:59. | |
He says a combination of people power and quick thinking by station | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
It is our people on the ground, our station attendants, | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
who first of all, when they realised a man was stuck, | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
alerted the train driver to keep the train stationary and not move. | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
And then went to his assistance and spent probably five or six | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
Weren't able to do that, and then one of them actually | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
One of them went inside the train and asked | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
the passengers who were still on board, and most of them were | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
still on board that stage, to move to the other side of the carriage. | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
If you like, like racing yachts do, to get everyone to go on one side | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
and lean out to see if that would tilt the train just slightly to | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
increase that five centimetre gap between the train and the platform. | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
That didn't work, so they then got the people to | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
It was a six car train so there was quite a few people. | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
And lined them up and started to push. | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
You can see when you watch the video, | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
it sort of seemed to be a little bit disorganised to start with. | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
And I think they were aware of the possibility that | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
if they pushed and the train rocked back, it would further squash | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
the guy's legs, so one of them clearly says "No, hang on | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
They pushed and the bloke gets out and what you | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
haven't seen from inside the train, as soon the gap opens up, he just | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
It really was a very happy outcome for all concerned. | :26:38. | :26:50. | |
In west Africa, in the past hour, Nigeria has confirmed five new | :26:51. | :26:52. | |
cases of ebola in Lagos, as well as a second death from the virus. | :26:53. | :27:00. |
