The scramble to cope with Ebola continues - we heard last week that trials of a vaccine are to start in west Africa before the end of the year - that's earlier than planned.

Why is the government so keen to get approval for yet another high speed rail link HS3 - while HS2 is still on the drawing board?

They say it'll create vast economic growth. How? Sir David Higgins is Executive Chairman of High Speed 2.
