6:02 am
antibodies from the blood of those that survived infection. facilities are set up in liberia to process blood. the vaccine could be available in weeks. the red cross says the outbreak can be controlled but irrational restrictions should not be imposed. >> it creates a lot of fear and extreme panic that sometimes lead to very irrational type of behavior like closing borders, isolating countries, et cetera. those are no solutions. the only solution is how can we join our efforts to contain those kind of epidemic at epicenter? >> there's concern in sierra le leone that ebola is continuing to spread. more than 300 homes have been
6:03 am
quarantined on the outskirts of the capital. there's no security to stop people from coming and going. we'll get an update. first a liberian father tells how ebola devastated his family. >> saturday 21st of september is a day i'll never forget. i got a call from my wife's number, but it was not her. i answered the phone, but nobody spoke. she was staying with our three children while i was north of liberia. that night my brother called me. your wife has died. i said what? i dropped the phone. we were together 23 years. later that same week, i received another call from there. my brother taking care of my wife had become infected and
6:04 am
died too. my two youngest children were take ton the center. my girls were very sick, and they died. i felt more helpless. my oldest son was still there. he called he and said everyone got sick. i don't know what to do. i told him to come here to be with me. when my son arrived, i noticed james looking for tired than usual. i was worried about him. when the test came back positive, it was a night of agony for me. after some time, my son started doing much better. he was moving around. i prayed that he would be free of ebola and test negative. i just wanted us to be together again. then something amazing happened. something i could not actually believe until i saw it. when i saw him come out, i felt so very, very happy. >> the story there of a liberian father. his family's ordeal at the hands

of the virus. for more on the potential treatments and vaccines and find out more about the meeting, head to our correspondent in geneva. >> it will be with key experts all over the world taking part by conferencing. all they want to do is look at how the ebola epidemic, the measures the who and effected countries are taking so far and what effect they're having. they'll look at border screenings, screenings at airports, quarantine times for people who may have become infected or suspected to be infected. all those things to see how effective those measures have been. it may be that travel regulations will be reassessed. it's understood the world health
6:06 am
organization is not key because of the damage to emerging african economies to make them any stricter than they are at the moment. >> of course there's the worry about this virus spreading if more restrictions are not put in place. i want to also ask you about exactly where we are and time scale on treatments and vaccines. >> the race is on to develop effective treatments for ebola and to develop an effective vaccine. we have to stress neither treatment or vaccine are going to be ready tomorrow to help the people infected with ebola today or who will become infected. there will be more cases in the next weeks possibly months. promising vaccines are going to be tested here in the next two weeks. w.h.o. hopes they'll be tested
