this is bbc america. now live from london, bbc world news. >> hello. this is bbc world news. our top stories. the european space has begun to orbit a comet. >> i'm here at mission control in germany where i will find out what happens next now they have reached this historic milestone. >> residents of gaza try to rebuild their lives while israelis and palestinians are hold indirect peace talks in chi owe. the world health organization hold ohs an emergency meeting on

the ebola outbreak in west africa as new cases are found in nigeria. and rupert murdoch gives up attempts to take over one of the world's biggest media companies. hello again. it sounds like science fiction but it's not. it ace an epic journey through space. after a journey lasting a decade rosetta has reached its destination. it is now orbiting the comet but it is doing so in a triangle shape rather than the normal circular pattern because there is so little gravity. the instruments will investigate the structure of the comet, what it is made of, how much water there is and whether there is

carbon. those are the key building blocks for life on earth. it is possible four and a half billion years ago when comets crashed oh the earth they brought the materials here which could shed light on how life began on earth. let's go to rebecca at the european space operations center in germany, essentially mission control. rebecca? >> reporter: there is an incredible feeling of excitement here. it was announced about 30 minutes ago that rosetta managed to get into orbit of the comet. this has never been tried before. this is a real first for science. it's taken a long time to get there. rosetta launched ten years ago. it traveled 6.4 billion kilometers through space, three times around the earth. once around mars. it's been in deep space hibernation for a couple of years. but now it's performed this last crucial maneuver, a braking

maneuver because it was traveling quicker than the comet. now it is orbit which is exciting. i'm here with the science operations coordinator for rosetta. >> hi. >> describe this final maneuver. it was kind of a braking maneuver. >> absolutely. one meter per second braking all designed to put the spacecraft in front of the comet, ready for the next phase of the mission which is to study the comet up close and personal, to get an idea of in september we can start orbiting directly. it's now 100 kilometers from the comet. >> we took unusual pictures. most people expect a misshapen potato. this one looks like a rubber duck in space. how difficult does it make things. >> it doesn't make things easier.

rosetta is exciting. we don't do it because it's easy. we are there to study this comet up and close. it's possibly a contact binary r & d. the structure is being reduced. it's a challenge, but we are ready and willing to face it. >> reporter: these things are made of ice and rock. why on earth do you want to put all of the effort in? it cost more than a billion euros to find out about this comet. >> it's never been done before. it's a unique, fascinating mission. comets themselves contain the original content from the formation of the solar system. we are there to analyze the gases. there is no other agency to study comets. we'll study it as close as the sun. we'll watch it break up and

measure and study this. we're very excited about it. >> thank you, lawrence, very much. though it's taken ten years to reach its final destination, the hard work is really beginning for the scientists. over the next few week it is comet gets into ever closer orbit -- i'm sorry, the spacecraft gets into an ever closer orbit. it will get as close as t kilometers away sending fantastic pictures back. we'll get some up close ones this afternoon. for the scientists here, they could have a limited time with the comet, about 18 months. they want to find out everything. it could tell us about the origins of the solar system and even about the origins of us. >> absolutely amazing. rebecca morelle thank you for the latest updates on rosetta in space. a cease-fire between israel and hamas that ended almost a month of fighting appears to be

holding. both sides are meeting in cairo trying to work out a longer term deal. the view over gaza city, as it is now. a peaceful blue sky as thousands of palestinians return home to see the damage and try to rebuild their lives. american secretary of state john kerry has been speaking to the bbc and encourages broader negotiations. our correspondent earlier told us about the situation on the ground there. >> reporter: gaza has come back to life today just over the road from our office in gaza city. there is the champs elysees of gaza, a tree-lined boulevard with cars on both sides. people are out stocking up on supplies and getting much needed relief. hundreds of thousands of people in gaza have been displaced.

they are returning to their homes, many of them, to find nothing left. we went to one home right up in the north on the border with israel, one of the worst affected areas. i met an 80-year-old man there, ahmed, sitting in front of his flattened house. his farm destroyed. this will be the third time he has to rebuild his house. i think palestinians in gaza feel trapped in the cycle of death, destruction and rebuilding. >> let's hear from cairo now. both sides have now begun the indirect talks in the egyptian capit capital. >> a couple of days ago the palestinian delegation arrived in cairo. it includes key factions hamas, and the islam jihad.

there is a cease-fire initiative submitted before. yesterday at night an israeli delegation arrived in cairo to start talks with the with egyptian official. we have the egyptian mediators playing the hero between the palestinian delegation on one hand and the israeli delegation on the other hand. there are no direct talks between those parties. it is egypt playing the mediator's role. when the palestinian delegation which we understand when they arrived a couple of days ago, they submitted a paper including the key demands ending the israeli assault on gaza, releasing some of the palestinian prisoners in israeli jail. in addition to listing the blockade on the gaza strip which is one of the most important demands submitted by hamas and supported by other palestinian factions. what we'll wait to see is if israel will agree to these three main demands. so far the talks are still going on. again, the egyptian foreign

minister is meeting today the middle east to represent is tony blair on one hand. he's meeting the u.n. representative. so mediation efforts are going relentlessly in egypt. we need to wait and see if they will be able to reach a compromise. >> that's the outline of the hamas demands. is there news about the israeli side? they may require a complete de mil mille. >> the tunnel network they describe as a tunnel network that hamas should stop rocket firing unless these main goals are met. the israelis said they cannot

stop the assault because they have a security concern on the first place when it comes to rocket firing and when it comes to the tunnel. they sneak through tunnels to hit israeli targets inside israel. we have two demands, one more hamas ending the blockade and another for israel which is stop the rockets firing. this is the tunnel network. we have two main demands. we don't know yet if both parties will be able through the egyptian mediation efforts to reach an in between area and agree on a permanent cease-fire, not just attempt a humanitarian truce. >> more on the situation in gaza on the bbc news website. plenty of expert analysis and a special report on the human cost of the conflict.

bbc.com/gaza. let's go to west africa. nigeria has confirmed five more infections. nine people have died across four countries since the outbreak began in february. the world health organization will hold an emergency meeting deciding whether to declare a global health emergency. let's go to our correspondent in lagos. tommy, tell us the latest from the government. >> reporter: five more cases have been added. we know there are already eight people in isolation. they are believed to have been in contact with the first case, the man from liberia a few weeks ago. it is not clear these seven are from this isolated group.

so far the seven is what we are hearing as well as two deaths so far. >> has the nigerian government been forward in giving citizens advice on how to avoid contracting ebola? does everyone know how you can pick it up? >> so far there have been messages going out on radio, tv, and social media posted in different languages telling people what this disease, what they should see as a symptom of the disease and how to keep away from it or protect themselves. so there has been that. when you talk to people on the streets you hear people with differing opinions. there are a lot of rumors about possible cures going around. maybe the government message may not be getting around so far. >> thanks, tomi. let's go to business news.

aaron. there is a lot of confrontation. >> the lawyers are the winners at the end of the day. let me explain. arch rivals samsung and apple have decided to drop disputes pending in court outside of the united states. of course these rivals have sued each other over a range of patent disputes in nine countries outside the united states including uk, south korea, japan and germany. in a joint statement, the agreement said it does not involve any licensing arrangements. they will continue to pursue existing cases in u.s. courts. the battle is still continues but just on one battlefield. rupert murdoch is withdrawing the bid to take over time warner. it was only three weeks ago when 20th century fox's take over offer was made public.

time warner immediately rejected the bid and has since refused to negotiate other deals. it owns several popular american cable channels like hbo, a hollywood movie studio and tv news channel cnn. we don't mention cnn here. what do you do if an unhappy customer posts a bad review about your company online? one hotel in hudson, new york, which hosts wedding parties has reportedly warned the happy couple that it will deduct $500 from their deposit if one of their guests posts a negative review on a review website like tripadviser. that's drawn plenty of negative publicity. what can hotels do? we'll look at it coming up on gmt in just over an hour. get me on twitter @bbc aaron.

>> thank you very much, aaron. we have breaking news from iraq. more than 50,000 people face death from starvation on sinjar mountain in the north of iraq. unless they are rescued. this is a warning from a senior kurdish official. more than 40 children are reported to have been killed. thousands of people from iraq's minority fled into the mountains after the islamic state known as isis launched an offensive on the town on sunday. the u.n. security council condemned the jihadist attacks on tuesday and warned those responsible that they could face trials for crimes against humanitiment this is breaking news from iraq. still to come, it's mind the gap for one man in particular. how commuters helped free this man trapped between a train and the station platform. vo: this is the summer.

you're watching bbc news and these are the latest headlines. after a ten-year chase a comet as residents and palestinian delegations have begun indirect talks in cairo. police in kenya arrested an al shabaab suspect in anywnairobi. the suspect crossed from somalia to kenya for medical treatment. he's suspected of being behind the murder of journalists in mogadishu. he claims his is a case of mistaken identity. let's speak to dennis ocari in

nairobi. >> reporter: we are still following up with that story. now with the new link to being a mistaken identity, it's one of the things you are trying to look into. so farther saying he's a senior operative. we are yet to confirm his rank but he's known to have joined al shabaab in 2006. he's behind killings, 20 journalists in the last three years in mogadishu. >> do we know his nationality? >> we know he's somali. what the police are saying is they have been tracking him down in cooperation with the somali intelligence. they have been trailing him. he appears to have been sneaking into the country more often to the point where they arrested him. >> how useful to the authorities

is it to capture him given what we know about previous captures? how much information do they give the authorities? >> well, the two countries seem to be cooperating in trying to track down on oh are a tifs. there have been police operations in the past. they are working together with the somali government to ensure they arrest those running from somali into kenya. he was speaking medical treatment for a head injury he got when he was in somalia. so the cooperation appears between these two countries. he'll be handed over to the somali government and tried inside somalia. >> how is the fight against al shabaab going in somalia that kenya is a part of? who holds the balance of power in that struggle at the moment,

do you think? >> the fight against al shabaab, they will be coming this the next few days. somali's president is saying the troops are trying to push al shabaab further from our territory inside. they are calling it on oh radiation indian ocean. they are pushing al that bab and the president says they are winning the fight, saying attacks reduced in ken yachlt we have not had any attack for the last few months save for what happened in the area of the coastal region of kenya. >> thanks, dennis. now three civilians killed in the eastern ukrainian city of donetsk after fighting of pro russian rebels. they battle to retake rebel-held territory. bail granted to the british

man held in prison in rio on charges of illegally selling world cup tickets. ray w with helan sold vip packages on behalf of fifa. he deny it is charges. a losing candidate in tunisia has launched a legal challenge against the result. prabowo subianto. one person has died and hundreds forced from their homes as firefighters in sweden battle a massive forest fire, the worst in the country's living memory. the fire has been burning since thursday. extreme conditions made it difficult to contain. a rain on tuesday has given firefighters hope. now some dramatic video from australia where a man became p caught between a train and the platform during morning rush hour. have a look at this. first of all, the moment that the man slides into the gap.

this is in perth. he's unable to move his leg. passengers and bystanders line up to rock the train to make enough space for him to free himself. he does eventually. he didn't sustain any injuries at all. incredible. people power indeed. that's what david hines, a spokesman for perth said. he said it was quick thinking by station staff and people power. >> we believe it was our people on the ground, our station attendants who, first of all, when they realized the man -- and they were right on the spot. when they realized the man was stuck alerted the train driver to keep the train stationary, not move off. he went to his assistants and spent five or six minutes trying to extract him. they started getting creative. one went inside the train and asked passengers still on board -- and most of them were

on board at that stage -- to move to the other side of the carriage. like racing yachts do. get everyone to go on one side and lean out to see if it would move the train to slightly increase the five centimeter gap. that didn't work. they then got the people to disembark from the carriages. it was a six-car train with quite a few people. lined them up and started to push. you can see when you watch the video that it seemed to be a little bit disorganized to start with. they were aware of the possibility if they pushed and the train rocked back it would further squash the man's leg. so one says, hang on a tick, we'll coordinate it. one, two, three, push. the bloke gets out. what you have not seen is from inside the train.

as soon as the gap opens up he just jumped to his feet and walked off. it was a happy outcome for all concerned. >> it was. david hynes speaking from perth. an organization which searches for children killed during argentina's military dictatorship has found her own missing grandson. dna tests identified her grandchild born in a military hospital 36 years ago. two months after giving birth her daughter was murdered. many thought the children were adopted out illegally by families close to the military. a brief reminder of the top story. the european rosetta spacecraft is in position to fly alongside a comet. the first time this has been achieved. previous missions have only managed to pass comets at high speed. it spent a decade chasing the four kilometer-wide comet through space. the probe aiming to orbit it for

at least a year. in november it will try to deploy a small lander to the comet's surface. this is a landmark for space exploration. plenty more of that on the bbc news website. for the moment, bye-bye.

good morning. this is bbc world news. our top stories. the world health organization holds an emergency meeting on the ebola outbreak as new cases are confirmed in nigeria. residents in gaza try to rebuild their lives as israeli and palestinians have indirect peace talks. rosetta begins to orbit a comet for the first time. and mind the gap. how australians tried to free a

man trapped between the train and the station platform. hello again. we'll begin in west africa. in the past hour nigeria confirmed five new cases of ebola in the city of lagos and a second death from the virus. nearly 900 people died across four west african countries since the outbreak began in february. the world health organization will have an emergency meeting to decide how to tackle the crisis. it is determining whether to declare a global health emergency. tomi oladipo, what are the details about the new cases? >> reporter: they add to the existing two already recorded. one was a liberian man that came

in a few weeks ago. the other people were believed to have come in contact and were tested. their blood samples were tested here in lagos and in the w.h.o. centers in senegal. so far it's seven. >> they are in complete isolation? do we know the details about how they are being treated? >> we know eight people had been placed in isolation for a few days. they were being tested and that's where the first case came up. i believe that's where the other results would have come from. eight people in total were believed to be showing symptoms and had to be tested to prove whether or not they had the virus. >> it's been said repeatedly liberia, new guinea, sierra leona, that it might be too much to deal with the outbreak. durj nigeria can handle it with

its health system? >> reporter: nigeria's government since the crisis came up said it is stepping up operation operations around health care institutions. as we know now doctors have been on strike nationwide. that will be a major challenge for neerj to handle if, indeed, there is an outbreak here. so far the government has not said how it will deal with this particular situation. >> thanks for the latest tomi. let's go now to space. an epic mission, billions of kilometers of space covered. but after a journey lasting more than a decade, the comet chasing spacecraft rosetta has reached its destination in an historic first. rosetta is orbiting the comet in

a triangular pattern to investigate the structure of the composition of the comet. it is important because it could shed new light on how life on earth began. let's go to rebecca morelle at european space operations in germany, essentially mission control. rebecca? >> reporter: yes, there is a real sense of excitement here at mission control. the news was announced about 55 minutes ago. the rosetta spacecraft has made an historic milestone as it's got into orbit around the comet. this has been a long time coming. it's taken ten years to get there. it traveled 6.4 billion kilometers through space. it's been an epic journey. this morning a kpleex braking maneuver was performed because the spacecraft was a little bit faster than the comet. they had to slow it down to bring it to a distance about a

hundred kilometers away. so rosetta is now orbiting around the comet. i'm here with a former mission manager of rosetta. he's been involved with the project since its inception in the 1980s. this is a long time coming for you. >> it is a long time coming. mission accomplished for me today. we have rosetta at the comet. the dream we had in the '80s, a long time ago. we have been working hard. overcame a lot of obstacles. now we can start the science we dreamed of a long time ago. we have done a lot of work. it's really great to see that we have arrived. >> reporter: this comet has already thrown up a few surprises for us. we have been taking photos of it during the approach. the shape is weird. you have a 3-d printed model. >> it shows the wonderful shape.

totally unexpected. we know we have contact binaries, but we were caught by surprise that it looks like this. we said, we couldn't have chosen a much better target. this is a model based on the information we had two weeks ago. it's still fairly smooth surface, but it shows the two big pieces. we are now basically in orbit around this one. we have much better images but we couldn't work so fast on this one. it's just fascinating. it promises a lot of new insights in how comets work and what we want to study. what did comets contribute to life on earth. it's fascinating and promises a lot of great science. >> reporter: thank you very much. as you can see from the shape there, this thing is going to be really tricky.

first of all, just to fly around it. it's so weird-looking. it's been described as sort of a space rubber duck. you think of a misshapen potato. this is weird. they will be searching for a landing site. so it needs somewhere flat and somewhere to drop the lander down from the rosetta mother ship. that will be a nerve wracking bit of the mission. the little lander will plummet to the surface, bombarded with gas and dust and has to harpoon itself in so it doesn't bounce off again in space but not until november. the next few weeks will be studying the comet, finding out as much as possible about this thing thord to make a safe landing a bit later on. >> lovely. rebecca morelle, thank you very

much for the update. we'll keep you right across what's happening with rosetta in outer space. let's round up some other stories now. three civilians killed in the ukraine after fighting overnight after government forces and pro russian rebels. they battled to retake rebel-held territory. the british man held in a rio prison on charges of illegally selling world cup ticket. ray whelan is director of match hospitality who sold packages on behalf of fifa. he denies the charges. the losing candidate in tunisia has launched a legal challenge against the result. he's alleging widespread fraud in the result. a cease-fire between israel and hamas that ended almost a month of fighting does appear to be holding. both sides are meeting in cairo

to try to work out a longer term deal. thousands of displaced palestinians have been returning to their homes to inspect the damage. the american secretary of state john kerry urged both parties to move toward broader negotiations. this is a live shot of gaza city. lots of cars on the street. as we say, people moving back into their homes and leaving all of those u.n. shelters, hundreds of thousands of palestinians have taken refuge in u.n. shelters to avoid the violence and the conflict with the israeli shelling. representatives of hamas and the israeli delegation also in cairo. so let's try to get the latest information from there with the bbc's sally nabil. as they try to get information, is there information coming from the meetings or is it secretive? >> reporter: it is very secretive. we have been trying to contact members of the palestinian

delegation here in cairo a while ago. they said we can't make any statements so far. we are still talking. there are a couple of points to complicate the talks. they are held between the israelis and palestinians via the egyptian mediators. egypt is having a tough part to do. the sides are quite a distance from each other. it will take effort to reach a compromise. rielz wants hamas to lay weapons down. it's been totally rejected by the palestinian movement saying they cannot lay down because they considered themselves a resistance movement. hamas and the palestinian factions meeting here in cairo

demand for the release of some of the palestinian prisoners held in israeli jails. in addition to listings that locate on the gaza strip these two main demands have not been agreed to by israel yet. it will be tough for the mediators to try to get both sides to agree to a compromise. >> because of the relationship between the egyptian government and people of hamas people have been saying possibly cairo isn't the place to have the talks. it is clearly a better option than no option at all. what's your reading of the situation between hamas and egypt? >> the relation between hamas and the current egyptian government is pretty tense. a couple of months ago there was a court ruling to ban the activities of hamas here in egypt because the egyptian government sees an offshoot of

the muslim brotherhood with which they are clearly at odds. it might complicate the mediation efforts. so far no other country has submitted a cease-fire initiative other than egypt, even qatar and turkey. they haven't submitted initiatives. so far the egyptian initiative is the only one which enjoys international recognition. >> sally nabil in cairo, thanks for the update. still to come, the world's biggest case of hacking. a russian criminal gang steals more than a million names and passwords. and how people power and odds helped free a man trapped between a train and the station platform. and it doesn't even fly. we build it in classrooms and exhibit halls, mentoring tomorrow's innovators. we build it raising roofs, preserving habitats and serving america's veterans.

welcome back.

these are the latest headlines. rosetta is flying after a comet after a ten-year chase for the first time. the second death in more cases of ebola in nigeria as the world health organization considers emergency measures to contain the outbreak. an american firm specializing in discovering internet hacking has found the latest data breach known to date. hold security says a ring of russian criminals hacked 1.2 billion user names and passwords and 500 e-mail addresses. the stolen information was collected from more than 420,000 websites inside russia as well as a fortune 500 company abroad. ian brown from the oxford institute. the thing that strikes me is it takes seven months to take the

data and understand what it was that the hack had revealed. it may be too late for all of us, mightn't it? >> it's not too late for people who think i might be affected. i'm worried about this to go change pass words and put different pass words on different sites. that's the big story out of the data breach. if you are using the same pass word on a number of sites especially like your bank. it only takes one breach for all your accounts to be compromised. >> we don't know which websites were hacked. why won't they give the information? that's the most important thing to us. >> there's been criticism of the company that's found out about the breaches because what they have done is offered to reveal information about the breach in return basically for work providing security consulting. i can understand that the company needs to find ways to fund extensive research that's gone into this. people think it would be better

to notify the affected sites and provide backing on that. >> do you use internet banking? would you recommend people use it or is it safer to do the old fashioned style and go to the bank. >> i do use interpret banking. a little bit of software that's useful in helping people choose good pass words and remember them is password manager software. you can get apps to do it. it's built into firefox and macintosh. if there is one thing people should take away is to make use of the software so you have the best chance of avoiding being affected by these breaches in the future. >> what would the russian criminal gangs be doing in the information? would they try to access it themselves? >> it started quite small just to send spam. that can earn them money.

but absolutely, they are very efficient under ground markets where criminals can get a lot of hundred on the back of it. they don't need to take advantage of the information themselves. they sell it to others. >> overall, how secure is the internet. >> i think it could be a lot more secure. the biggest data breach yet. we are up to 1.2 billion. clearly the software running the internet and running people's p.c.s and smartphones needs to move up another notch going on. >> this is something that affects everybody who uses the internet. thanks for your time. authorities in china know 600 people were killed in an earthquake on sunday. all the casualties reported so far in the city of zhaotong.

2,000 other people were injured. volunteers have been asked to stay away from the area. they have been causing traffic jams and hampering the work of oh emergency services. our correspondent in beijing is celia hassen. >> it's been a nightmare for rescue crews in the area. this place is no stranger to earthquakes but emergency workers say it's almost impossible to get to the distant towns affected because of the steep narrow roads leading through the mountains. where the epicenter was located. it's been difficult for rescue crews to navigate landslides, torrential rain and simply to move through the roads to get to the distant villages. we have seen the death toll jumped up today by almost 200 people. it went from 400 to almost 600 people because rescue crews were finally able to reach some of those distant villages affected

by the quake. when they got there unfortunately they found many more victims of the earthquake than they were expecting. >> is there a chance of still possibly finding people trapped under rubble? it's happened in other earthquakes, possibly after two weeks there have been survivors. >> rescue crews are still looking, digging through the rubble carefully in many of the villages in hopes of finding survivors. one official who was recently interviewed on chinese state television said they are holding out hope for more survivors to be found. as time goes on and as the rain continues in this area of hunan, prospects for finding more survivors are dimming. >> we keep saying it's a remote area. what's the nearest big city where people could be taken for urgent medical treatment? >> well, we do have the city of

zhaotong outside the mountainous area. of course the capitol. it does take a long time. crews have been using helicopters to try to reach some of the distant villages. they have been trying to airlift people out of the villages using helicopters. because the roads are simply impassable. as you mentioned before, very well-meaning volunteers are clogging up the roads trying to get into the quake zone to try to deliver aid themselves. this is a phenomena we have seen in past earthquakes in china. the government is telling volunteers to please stay out of the quake zone and let aid workers get on with the work. police in kenya have arrested a senior al shabaab suspect in nairobi. thought to be hassan hanafi and that he crossed the border into kenya for medical treatment. he's suspected of being behind the murder of journalists in

mogadishu. he claims it's a case of mistaken identity. dennis okari says details are still to be confirmed. so far saying he's a senior operative. we are yet to confirm his rank but he's known to have joined al shabaab in 2006. he's behind killings, 20 journalists in the last three years in mogadishu. >> do we know his nationality? >> we know he's somali. what the police are saying is they have been tracking him down in cooperation with the somali intelligence. beforehanding him over to the police they have been trailing him. he appears to have been sneaking into the country more often to the point where they arrested him.

>> how useful to the authorities is it to capture him given what we know about previous captures? how much information do they give the authorities? >> well, the two countries seem to be cooperating in trying to track down somali operatives. there have been police operations in the past. they are working together with the somali government to ensure they arrest those running from somali into kenya. in this particular case he was seeking medical treatment for a head injury he got while he was in somalia. so the cooperation appears between these two countries. he'll be handed over to the somali government and tried inside somalia. >> how is the fight against al shabaab going in somalia that kenya is a part of? who holds the balance of power in that struggle at the moment, do you think?

>> the fight against al shabaab, there is a push coming in the next few days. somali's president is saying the african union troops are trying to actually push al shabaab further from our territory thds. they are calling it operation indian ocean. they are pushing al shabaab and the president appears confident saying they are winning the fight saying the attacks reduced, especially in kenya. we have not had any attacks for the last few months, save for what happened in the area of the coastal region of kenya. let's go to australia now. this is something you will rarely, if ever see again. a man caught between a train and the platform during morning rush hour in perth. watch him carefully. here he is. there he falls this between the gap. this is in perth. he's unable to move his leg.

the passengers and bystanders line up, tilt it just enough so he can free his leg. it was a five-centimeter gap he'd fallen into. they had to tilt it pretty much that amount. paramedics called to the station. the man was not badly injured at all. earlier david hynes for trans perth said it was a combination of people power and quick thinking by station workers. >> we believe it was our people on the ground, our station attendants who, first of all, when they realized the man -- and they were right on the spot. when they realized the man was stuck alerted the train driver to keep the train stationary, not move off. he went to his assistants and spent five or six minutes trying to extract him. weren't able to do that. they started getting creative. one went inside the train and asked passengers still on board -- and most of them were on board at that stage -- to

move to the other side of the carriage. like racing yachts do. get everyone to go on one side and lean out to see if it would tilt the train to slightly increase the five centimeter gap between the train and the platform. that didn't work. they then got the people to disembark from the carriages. it was a six-car train with quite a few people. lined them up and started to push. you can see when you watch the video that it seemed to be a little bit disorganized to start with. they were aware of the possibility if they pushed and the train rocked back it would further squash the man's leg. so one says, hang on a tick, we'll coordinate it. one, two, three, push. the bloke gets out. what you have not seen is from inside the train.

as soon as the gap opens up he just jumped to his feet and walked off. it was a happy outcome for all concerned. >> our top story comes from nigeria. the country confirmed five new cases of ebola in lagos. bchblt and then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon. no big deal... until your insurance company jacks up your rates. you freak out. what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? hey insurance companies, news flash. nobody's perfect. for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. see car insurance in a whole new light. liberty mutual insurance. there's nothing like leaving home feeling attractive. challenge! but too many times i feel bloated, gassy, uncomfortable with gurgling. nothing seems to feel right! and yet another pile of clothes on my bed.
