BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ebola: Rwanda restricts movement across border with DR Congo

A third case of Ebola has now been identified in the Congolese city of Goma

A third case of Ebola has now been identified in the Congolese city of Goma.

Rwanda has restricted movement across its border near the city of Goma after a third case of Ebola was identified. The outbreak has killed more than 1,800 people in the past year. We speak to people in Goma. 

Also, Hamza Bin Laden, the son of Osama Bin Laden, has reportedly been killed in an air strike. We'll hear how supporters of al-Qaeda are covering his death on social media. 

And in Kenya, people have been protesting about the availability of cancer treatment. They want the government to declare the disease a national disaster and make treatment affordable for all Kenyans. We'll hear their thoughts on the issue.
