Ebola Outbreak in DRC City

Concern increases as Ebola outbreak in DR Congo spreads from the countryside into a city.

Forty-four people have been infected and 23 people are known to have died so far in the latest outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo. A case has now been confirmed in Mbandaka, a city of a million people about 130km (80 miles) from the area where the first cases were confirmed earlier this month. We hear from people there about the latest concerns.

A man in the United States has become the first person to die from a vape pen explosion. So how safe are vape pens?

And Americans are arriving in London for the Royal Wedding. We hear from four of them, fresh off the plane.
