Former Cuban President charged with murder in US

Raul Castro and five others were indicted on murder and conspiracy charges.

The US justice department has accused the 94-year-old communist leader of conspiracy and four counts of murder stemming from a 1996 incident in which Cuban airforce jets shot down two planes flown by Miami-based Cuban exiles. We get the view from that exile community in Miami.

The World Health Organisation has warned that cases of Ebola could be spreading faster than originally thought. We hear how medics are coping with the situation.

And Israel's far-right National Security Minister has received international condemnation for his treatment of detained activists from a Gaza aid flotilla.
