Ebola deaths rise to over 100

The number of deaths linked to the current ebola outbreak rises sharply.

The government in the Democratic Republic of Congo has sharply increased the number of deaths linked to the current ebola outbreak in the east of the country. A spokesman said 118 people had died, and cases were now being reported over a wider area. But Kinshasa says response teams are on the ground, working to trace suspected infections. We get the latest and speak to a doctor who treated, contracted and recovered from the disease.

Also on the programme: A California jury has tossed out Elon Musk's high-profile lawsuit against OpenAI and its boss Sam Altman. And we speak to a survivor of the Blitz - Germany's World War 2 bombing campaign on the UK - on her recollections of the horror of that attack, and how it still affects her today.
