Uganda racing to contain Ebola outbreak

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Uganda racing to contain Ebola outbreak

Authorities say 24 cases have been confirmed - with five people dying from the disease.

Ebola infections have risen across districts in Uganda, bringing the number of confirmed cases to 24, with five people dying from the disease. Trainee medics battling the outbreak have accused the government of putting their lives at risk; however they called off a strike they had intended to hold in protest. We get the latest developments from our reporter in Uganda, as well as speaking to a trainee medic.

Russia's Vladimir Putin will hold a signing ceremony on Friday to annex four more areas of Ukraine. It follows self-styled referendums in those territories, condemned by Ukraine and the West as a sham. We hear a conversation between people from those regions which Russia has announced it will absorb into its territory.

And we hear tributes from fans around the world to the US rapper Coolio who has died at the age of 59.
