duncan took a flight from liberia, and 24 hours later he landed in dallas. and about a week later he was ill, reported to an emergency room in a hospital in dallas, texas. - he was misdiagnosed by the american healthcare system, sent home with asprin, and ultimately died of ebola, having been inappropriately diagnosed and inappropriately treated. - the biggest threat we faced was an ebola outbreak in nigeria, which would have led to a real global epidemic. and the reason that was brought under control was because a decade earlier, under president bush, the united states had made a major investment in fighting aids. - people of africa are fighting hiv/aids with courage. and i'm here to say you will not be alone in your fight. - and thanks to that investment, there were trained epidemiologists in nigeria, trained public health responders in nigeria. - [narrator] often taken for granted, antibiotics have changed the way the world responds to infection, but antibiotic resistance is growing. - my fear is that we don't do anything until we're scared. and i hope pe

flank of that area of low pressure we are sucking up a bit of relatively mild air across france and liberia of the british isles will do, then your temperatures will respond. there is the getting away from the fact that northern and western parts of scotland, northern ireland until late in the day and maybe the western fringes of wales, you will all see brain. ‘sis western fringes of wales, you will all see brain. ‘s is the prospect as i take you out a friday and into saturday. pushing that area of rain for the most part away, north of scotland. —— see brain. in fact, there is a bit of a link back to what we suspect will happen across the greater part of england as we get on through saturday. don't take the area to literally but i think many parts of central and eastern england will at some point system rain during the course of the day. temperatures have a bit of brightness could be pushing to around 16— 17. but because of that southerly flow, all of us will keep out averages double figures. again, some uncertainty about exactly where that rain is going to fall across south—eastern parts.

we deal with the fragile states, because some of these countries, democratic, republic of congo, liberiasome are poorer than 40 or 50 years ago. there's no prospect of tackling extreme poverty unless we tackle state fragility. the truth about our world, india and china with growth and development are lifting their own poor out of poverty. and by 2030, we'll find half of the world's poor will be in the fragile states. the somalias, the south sudans, yemens, countries which are badly fractured. we're arguing for is very difficult, because it's much easier to vaccinate a child, to build a school. that's not easy but relatively straightforward compared with building honest tax authorities and honest governments and tackling corruption, but doesn't mean we should. try. >> are all the governments feeling besieged either by immigration, by refugees. any number of populist politics, the economy, are they going to do it? are they going to have the political will? >> if we say to them we're going to stop piling up priorities on to you. stop telling you what to do and how to do it. we want you to c

eastern flank, we are sucking up all this mild air from the western part of the mediterranean from liberiarespond to that. i'm afraid, out towards the west, no disguising the fact that once the rain has set in, it will keep on coming. certainly the greater part of the day to northern ireland. yet, the temperatures may struggle. further towards the east and from friday to saturday, initial parts of rain away. and the prospect of more rain, summer across central and eastern parts of the british isles. through parts of scotland and the western fringes of wales in the south—west, could get away with a dry day. there is some uncertainty but one of the things we can say about the weekend is that the temperatures from many of us, because of that essentially southerly flow, will stay in double figures and again, just this prospect on sunday of a little bit of rainfor prospect on sunday of a little bit of rain for some, and many could well stay dry. and as i say, on the mild side. i'm kasia madeira with bbc world news. our top story: russia has made a strongly worded speech at a meeting of the secu

conversed with joseph jenkins roberts, a virginian african-american who had served as president of liberia. two years later, lincoln consulted frederick douglass about the urgent necessity of encouraging slaves to run to union lines. douglass found the willingness to summon him remarkable. later, he wrote that the president knew he could do nothing, which pulled at him more fiercely, the ribaldry and the vulgar, and showing him any respect as men. douglas added "there are some men who can face death and dangers, but have no moral conviction to contradict a prejudice or face ridicule. in daring to admit, nay, in daring to invite a negro to audience at the white house, mr. lincoln did that which he knew would be offensive to a crowd and inside the ribaldry, which was contempt." it was saying to the country, "i am the president of the black people as well as the white, and i need to respect their rights and feelings as men and as citizens. many years later, douglas wrote, "in my three interviews with mr. lincoln, i was impressed with his entire freedom from popular prejudice against the color

he dies and is buried in monrovia, liberia. so like henry mcneil turner, people begin to think, oh, maybe i should return to the african continent. but you see this is a long tradition of people protesting the very public sphere. this is not a new thing in black life. women's movements within black protestant churches are also a political ground scholars study club women a great deal, but more women went to church than they did join black women's clubs. i'll probably get hit by some of my scholar friends who study black club movements, but more women went to church. more ordinary women went to church and this is where they learned their politics. they first learn their politics sometimes in support of or against their clergy. sometimes they learn politics in support of our against their clergy. if they didn't agree with their clergy they withhold funds. if they want their clergy out, they would whisper. three, many of them were married to the deacons if they were baptists or other forms and they would say get that person out. s

so when we do it in west africa like we tested in liberia and guinea and sierra leone, it's very clear that it got to be at a price theyd can afford. we also agencies that would make precursors. i don't really have a concern that will have a vaccine that's going to be out price for the people who need it. both for zika and for ebola. those are the kind of arrangements that you make with the companies that youts do tha. you don't have a situation where there are priced. the real ethical issue is to make, this gets to your fourth question, you make a vaccine, who do you give it to? so it's very, interesting, and that is one of the reasons why we have such a problem getting companies to make an investment for a vaccine that doesn't have a set group of people who unquestionably would get the vaccine such as childhood vaccines where nobody gets measles, everybody gets months, everybody gets hepatitis. the situation with zika is that it is going to depend on the epidemiology, like right now you would vaccinate nobody for zika because there is no zika. if you hadad a situation where there was

and liberia had a civil war we begged for help, i wish we could've gone there faster, but we did helpn rwanda, that horror, and everybody in washington said never again would we look the other way while humans are slaughtered like that. how do you find the balance in congress, and how do the american people find that balance, went to help, and when it is none of our business, because i do not believe in regime change your nation-building. the u.n. and nonprofits can do that, but how does congress find that balance, when to get involved and when not to? guest: that is a very good question, and it is a very difficult question, because what you do is -- you have to talk with our allies and so you can make the appropriate determination. i know president clinton said the biggest mistake and the biggest regret he had is that we did not act in a more aggressive manner in rwanda and allowed that atrocity to take place. for me, that rung in my ears when you were talking about libya and the threat that could off the -- what off he -- was going to annihilate hundreds of thousands of his own peop

to go to liberia. the doctor moves back into the town of salem. after the civil war ends, 1867, a school was built in what has become known as the happy hill community. 1872 is actually when the land was purchased, and the community is actually formed. moving on to the 1880's, you have about 25 families now who have actually settled in the happy hill community, and the community begins to grow. the cemetery is established as well. you have about 50 more families that are now living in the happy hill community. 1910 to 1920 there is a growth spurt due to industrialization of winston. so many people coming up from south carolina to work in the factories. so around 1920, there are 130 families living in what we now know as the happy hill community. this close-knit bond is formed between these families, and i think that is sort of the irony of it. the happy hill community was put designedor developed, to keep black people away but, form thist, you community and people began to bond. they have shops, they h
