Ebola outbreak worsens

Five new people ever hour are being infected with the Ebola virus in Sierra Leone, that's according to the charity Save the Children.

It comes as the United Airlines has confirmed that an American man diagnosed with Ebola in Texas flew on two of its flights – from Brussels to Washington and then on to Dallas.

Doctors say it is unlikely that the man infected any other passengers because he hadn't displayed any symptoms and could not have been contagious.

He's currently being treated in hospital where his condition is described as 'serious'.
