WHO races to stop DRC Ebola outbreak

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is likely to be declared a 'public health emergency of international concern'.

Also: as Venezuela prepares to go to the polls, we'll be live with James Menendez in Caracas... And President Trump, the North Korean summit and the Libya model. Andy Hosken reports on growing opposition to "parliament's own park" as the location for a new Holocaust memorial centre.
And wedding? What wedding? The Derby pub that's banning any talk of royal nuptials.
