Spain records first Ebola victim outside West Africa

Investigations are underway at a hospital in Madrid after a Spanish nurse became the first person known to have contracted the deadly Ebola virus outside West Africa.

The nurse had treated two Spanish missionaries who died of the disease after being flown home from the region.

Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has criticised foreign governments for not acting as aggressively as they should against the outbreak.

He said countries that think that they can sit on the sidelines and just let the United States do it will result in a less effective response and that means that people will die.
