contamination. health officials say there's no cause for alarm. >> what i would like to emphasize is that the risk of ebola virus infection to the population of this country remains very low and is not changed by this decision. >> there is no cure for ebola but with proper treatment of the symptoms, patients have a chance at beating the virus. last week, two americans who contracted the disease made a recovery and were discharged from the hospital. bbc news. >> so that is the situation with that patient here in the uk. let's talk more about the ebola outbreak that's been noted in democratic congo. this is a different strain health officials are saying. >> it's a different strain unrelated to the current epidemic in west africa. it doesn't make it any worse. it's still bad. doc is used to these source of

outbreaks. this is the seventh outbreak in congo. unrelated to the other epidemic. >> should we be worried about the different strain breaking out? >> there are five strains of ebola. this is one of the different ones. this doesn't seem so worrying. the government says it's under control. it's in a remote area. no one should be worried about the current epidemic in west africa out of control. we have this outbreak under control. >> no links. how has doc managed to keep it under control in the past in seven outbreaks? >> seven outbreaks with only few dead. some outbreaks had hundreds of dead. these take time to run themselves out. they kill a few hundred people and tend to disappear by isolating the patients. they're in remote rural areas

and stay there. the current epidemic it's spread to different countries and the world. >> that started in remote areas in guinea and spread to cities. is there any risk or fear that this outbreak # could spread to huge cities like the capital? >> it's very unlikely. 1,000 kilometers away. in most likelihood, this will stay localized. it probably will kill people, but it's contained. >> how confident are they that they can contain this outbreak? >> they're confident. they have 30 or 40 years of experience dealing with it. doctors are sending a team over there. they're fairly confident. doc is watching flights as well. they're worried about contamination of the west africa. >> on that point we have seen south africa not allowing in

travelers from west africa. the whole continent taking this seriously. >> taking it seriously with big economic impact unfortunately. >> thanks very much for coming by and talking to us about that. now let me bring you other news making headlines around the world. in syria, the foreign minister says syria is willing to cooperate regionally and internationally. the islamic group took control of the air base in syria. this shows convoys of supporters celebrating the capture of the tabqua air base sunday. it was the government's last remaining foothold in the proof vince. warplanes have carried out air strikes since on the air base. the french president dissolved the government after disagreements over the direction of economic policies. hollande asked the prime minister to form a new cabinet

street cleaning truck. the accusation or possibility that this is a war crime is echoed by human rights watch. they said this was a clear violation of the geneva convention for the treatment of war prisoners and that it could be a war crime. the one person that disagrees is the russian foreign minister lavrov that said he saw nothing humiliating in this act. they seem to be getting reaction as we speak. >> you mentioned lavrov, the russian fortune minister. he talks about the convoy saying russia will second a second convoy. the first took a lot of time to get to ukraine, held up on the border. there were lots of concerns. it went in and left again. does this mean the second one should cause fewer worries, or are the concerns still there?

>> reporter: well, we'll see what will happen. the previous one caused concerns, controversy and a lot of questions. as we saw a number of trucks were nearly empty, it was considered a violation of the ukrainian or called a violation of ukraine's territorial sovereignty. the truck went in without permission from ukrainian officials and also without permission from the red cross supposed to be supervising this. this is happening as fighting continues in the east and particular near the southern port city of mariupol. ukrainian officials are saying russian armored vehicles and russian troops without marking are trying to move into ukraine. we do not have independent conversation of this. we're getting contradictory reports. this goes hand in hand with other reports we heard previously from officials and western journalists that armored vehicles with russian number of

plates, russian military plates and russian forces have been moving into ukraine. the convoy is taking place against the backdrop. it will remain to see how this particular convoy will be treated. >> okay. david stern in kiev there. thanks very much david. now, the united nations has told bbc there's a worrying increase in the number of girls who have fled the conflict in syria forced into early marriages. new figures from the u.n. show one quarter of all registered marriages of syrian refugees in jordan involve a girl under 18. some as young as 12. we have this special report. >> born into exile, he is just a few hours old. a child of the refugee camp. his weary mother was married at 16. the war in syria took her home

changes are on foot in the movie business. >> what would we see? where's our summer block buster? it's fair to say it's been a lacking summer for big hits. lots of movies that are doing pretty well. we're going to ask is it time for hollywood to change the schedule or focus less on the u.s. markets? hello. thanks for being with us. for the we could week a school district in ferguson, missouri has cancelled classes in order to keep children at home and off the streets. it comes after severe clashes between local people and authorities after an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed by a white police officer. who can forget those pictures? school districts and parents are trying to find ways to keep little ones safe. should they protect them about

>> today we had over 150 students come through. so many that we had to find a second space to start setting things up at. >> he needs to see it. he needs to see how the system works and how it can work for him. we have the ability through constitutional rights to protest. he needs to see that process is. >> my 12-year-old is a special needs child. for him, i think he needs that schooling a lot more than other kids. he needs that all the time. for him to miss going on two weeks of school, it's just kind of sad. you don't know what to tell your kids you know. this is not how i want you to live. this is not how i want it to be. we should be all as one. that's just part of life. just part of life.

i'm sorry. >> we would have conversations late at night. we would have to just so i can get an understanding of how he has felt. i've been out protesting every night. it frightens them. we have to instill trust in them so they can understand this just happened to this individual. this doesn't necessarily mean this is what the police are about or this is what our city is about. he's asking me why am i going out there? i'm out protesting in order so my kids don't have to go through this in the future, so they can feel equal just as equal as everybody else. >> so a real dilemma for parents about what to tell their children caught up in the midst of that violence. meanwhile, thousands are expected to attend the service for michael brown who was shot dead in just a few hours time. his father, michael brown sr

we're also making sure we're meeting together with community leaders, having prayer vigils, working together. congregations of blacks and whites are coming together, holding hands, working together, doing service projects together. we're doing all we can to work together in this community. >> do you think it's perhaps reached the stage -- we're talking people in the community coming together, black and white. what about the trust between black residents and white authorities? do you think that's broken down or how would could that be built up again? >> well, i don't think the situation has broken it down. the situation revealed what a has been broken. how to make that better has to be movement on both sides of the aisles. what we have been doing from a church standpoint is putting together some things that we think can be helpful and asking both sides let's meet in the middle. let's work together to repair

our community and begin the healing. >> you're confident this healing can take place now? >> we have to believe in hope. when we look historically there have been a lot of things that have happened in the world that if someone didn't believe it would be b we would not have had the accomplishments we had. we have to believe it's possible. >> when michael brown's father is calling for calm, i imagine you are as well, how worried are you about violence breaking out at the funeral later on today? >> we're not worried about the violence and the community today during the funeral. i think there will be a level of respect given to michael brown's family. what we are doing is continually working with the local churches and even the police departments to try to make sure we all are doing what we can not to agitate the situation but help bring about calm. >> okay. that's the pastor ferguson

heights church of christ. thank you for speaking with us here on "gmt" pastor. okay. aaron is here with the business news. take it away. >> we've been talking about france. a lot of new news today. hello there. there has been a shake up in the french government. a new line up announced. expecting that tomorrow on tuesday. a lot of people are asking will a new team be able to tackle the country's biggest problem? there's been fighting about economic strategy. they've questioned where austerity is working. we're talking about france with zero growth so far this year facing rising unemployment and budget blues. this is all along the approval rating. needless to say, it's nose

dived. hue, great to have you on the program. it's all about the economy indeed. this government resignation, does it come down to a spat between the prime minister and outspoken economy minister? >> yeah, it does. you mentioned the maverick, a happen with great ambition who's positioned himself on the left of the party. he knows in the party there's a strong left wing element. it was a move that's given the opportunity to get rid of him. basically this reshuffle of new government is a reshuffle really, a way of getting rid of montebourg. in theory that should give manuman

manuel valls. we had the situation over the weekend where the economy minister was questions his own policy. it was quite surreal. so valls acted, the prime minister who's a decisive character. he went and said either he goes or go. the president agreed to get a new government with valls in power which should in theory boost valls' plan and allow him to go forward with the ways to get the country out of the crisis. >> we keep hearing the prime minister valls is a bit more to the right. at the end of the day, this could play into france's hand positively. if he get ace cabinet or team

behind him on the same path, they can get top measures through, right? >> well, i mean -- we've got to take a point of this that he wants the right ones. the people on the left disagree. if you take the consensus on economic policy reforms cutting back on public spending and budget is important, then yes he'll have a clearer hand, united government. there are big questions though. one he would still have to command a majority in parliament. there is a big what they call reform of the party increasingly rested who side with montebourg and don't like the slightly probusiness policies valls is giving. the really big picture is whether policies are in themselves enough. it says a lot about french

politics in general. even the slight move towards the pro business line which valls is pushing for created a huge backlash on the left. many say what they want to put in place is peanut, tiny compared to drama click reforms the country needs. >> top action certainly needed. no doubt. all eyes and ears on that announcement tomorrow. talk to you soon. thank you. joining us live there from paris. night at the movies, want to go? popcorn ready? question is what film do you want to see? this summer has been i think it's fair to say a lacking one. some stinkers. a lot of movies are just doing pretty well. is it time for hollywood to change focus on big summer hits and focus on u.s. markets? that's something our film

journalist asked. hollywood makes a chunk over the summer period. >> summer season is vital for hollywood. they schedule all films so they don't bump into each other. that's been impossible with huge se sequels clashes into each other. this is priming the pump for the next two years. it's also getting us ready. they're still learning how to use this business model. the old hollywood business mod that he will looked at window release, video and dvd is pretty much the internet wiped that out. hollywood is trying to grapple the old system that isn't working with the new territory. follow me on twitter. you can tweet me @bbc aaron. i'll be back in 45 minutes. for now, back to you. >> thank you very much. see you later on. stay with us here on bbc news.
