Available for over a year

The World Health Organisation has called an emergency meeting in response to the news that Ebola has spread to Uganda from the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. A 9/11 first responder gives us his response to Jon Stewart's impassioned plea for financial support for survivors of the 2001 terrorist attack. A new study has found that on average people could be ingesting approximately five grams of plastic every week, which is about the equivalent weight of a plastic credit card.
