Second British Medic Flown Home After Exposure to Ebola

A British military medic has been flown home from West Africa to be monitored for signs of Ebola, for the second time in three days. 
 
The health worker, who has been taken to the Royal Free Hospital in London, is thought to have been exposed to the virus through a skin injury while treating victims in Sierra Leone.  
 
Tim Cooper reports.
 
Charlotte Cross, meanwhile, has the details of the mission to fight the disease, which British military medics have been helping to tackle since last Autumn.
