Fears number of Ebola cases could double

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

More than 130 people are believed to have died in the latest outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. The World Health Organisation has declared it a public emergency of international concern, and warns the number of infections could soon reach the thousands. Also on the programme: celebrations in north London as Arsenal win the Premier League for the first time in 22 years. And as President Putin arrives in China for talks with Xi Jinping, we ask what their ‘friendship with no limits’ really means.
