12:20 am
the u.s. has funded four such labs in the fight against the virus. >> it's a completely game-changer. patients were afraid at one point of coming to an ebola treatment unit, because they are afraid of becoming infected. some patients have only minor symptoms, and they're not convinced they have ebola. so they might avoid coming because they're afraid they'll become infected here. now with the lab, patients get the results back within hours. >> the treatment facility feels very far away from the crowded beds and dingy hallways of the liberian government centers. this 19-year-old waited a week for an ambulance. he was carried here, bleeding, by his father. >> reporter: today he's recovered enough to tell us he thinks he's going home. for the soldiers stationed here, it's hot and difficult work. but it's worth it. >> in one aspect, we're all

12:22 am
the country will go some way to silencing the guns for good. well, student protest leaders and hong kong officials will meet friday for their first round of talks, aimed at ending the pro-democracy demonstrations. it seems the number of protesters is dropping off by the day, but that's not quick enough for some. andrew stevens joins us now live from hong kong. on the aerial shot, certainly a lot less people out on the street, but it's 3:38 in the afternoon, and this has been the pattern that we've seen anyhow. but the student protesters appear to have lost the support of many in hong kong. but the big question is, what will happen if these talks on friday don't end well? could we see large numbers of demonstrators back on the
12:23 am
streets? >> well, certainly the protest leaders have said that they do want substantive change. they have threatened that, for example, if the student protesters who are still here are threatened in any way, they would end the talks. so they are still in an aggressive mood about getting what they want. the numbers may be diminishing here, but the impact is still the same. if you look down this road, this is the main arterial road. there's a six-lane highway in and out of the city. this is usually absolutely clogged at this time of the day, with traffic coming in and out of the financial heart. if you move over here, you'll see another key road down there. all around this area, this is the feeder roads into the financial district, which is off to the right here. you can see sort of these towers is where, that's the heart of the financial district here in hong kong. so it is just very difficult, for so many people to get here
12:24 am
to work. there's an underground system, but you can imagine, that's overworked at the moment. i've been speaking to a lot of people walking through here, getting more and more frustrated by the fact they have been disrupted and this has been going on now for 11 days and there doesn't seem to be any break in this deadlock. yes, there are talks. the students still say they want to see substantive change. the talks we'll see on friday are actually more about the constitutional framework, the legal framework on which they can then try to reach some sort of consensus. this is going to be something of a drawn-out process. at the moment, there's no indication at all that these roads are going to be cleared any time soon to get the traffic back in, to get hong kong back to 100% working order, rosemary. >> we'll be watching the outcome of those talks on friday, andrew stevens. thanks so much for bringing us up to date on the situation on the streets of hong kong. still to come, kenya's
12:25 am
president faces five counts of crimes against humanity, but he's about to face a court as a private citizen, not as his country's president. we'll bring you a live report on the significance of his hearing straight ahead. it's the yoplait greek taste-off and we're asking this sports town which blueberry greek yogurt is their champion. a tastes better. it's yoplait! i knew it! do you want to see which one yoplait greek beat? chobani. hoorah! yoplait greek wins again. take the taste-off for yourself.
12:27 am
welcome back. kenya's president is about to face the international criminal court, charged with crimes against humanitarian. kenyatta polices five counts of post election violence seven years ago, but will go into court as a private citizen, temporarily giving up his presidency for this hearing. our diana magnate joins us live from south africa with more on this. many were suspicious mr. kenyatta would even appear at the hague after he won the last
12:28 am
election in kenya. he's making this move as a private citizen. what does that mean? what can we expect? >> well, he's temporarily diverted sovereignty for the next few days, to his deputy william routeo, which is interesting in itself because routeo was the head -- or was a part of the opposite ethnic tribe against whom kenyatta's tribe was fighting in the vilinence 2007. so it shows how fluid kenyan politics is. but because of this divestment, he is effectively going to the hague, to this hearing as a private citizen, rather than as the president of kenya. and he said in a speech just before he left that this means that the sovereignty of the kenyan people isn't put under a
12:29 am
foreign jurisdiction. this has been very much the way that president kenyatta has really presented the icc's case to the kenyan people. that to a certain extent it is foreign interference in kenya's domestic affairs, errol. >> this will be the first time that a sitting head of state will face the icc, although, you know, you're saying there he seems to have given this up for the time. but it seems that he's sending a personal message, or sending a message by heading there in a personal capacity and noting that no special arrangements were made for him. what is this message he's trying to send, and how might this play into the charges or how this case might proceed? >> i think it's significant he's attending. it's a gesture of good will to the icc, but on the other side, he's aware that the case as it
12:30 am
stands right now is in completely disarray. because as far as the prosecution says, the kenyan government has been stonewalling the case against president kenyatta. they say they haven't been given the documentation, the evidence that they've requested from the kenyan government, to proceed with this case. ie, phone records, bank statements, and everything that they might need to try to bring this prosecution further. so to a certain extent, president kenyatta is going to the hague, knowing that this case is pretty much at a sort of dead end at the moment because the prosecution has admitted that it doesn't have the evidence that it needs to continue. all of this in a context whereby he alongside other african leaders, along the african union, have raised significant question marks over whether the icc isn't unnecessarily targeting african leaders in the cases that it has before it, and
12:31 am
they are all, in fact, targeting or against the leaders of african nations. so it's a very sensitive issue on this continent really, that the icc, the perception is, is targeting africa rather than other countries around the world. and let's not forget that for example, the united states is not a sig nat tore to their own statutes and therefore not even a member of the icc. china, neither. >> and you'll often hear them say there should be african solutions to african problems. so very noteworthy that kenya's president is facing these charges at the hague. diana magnay, thank you. rosemary? errol, you may not think much about it when you flick on the lights, but three people have been awarded the nobel prize in physics for creating
