Experimental vaccine shipped to Liberia
The first batch of an experimental vaccine against Ebola is on its way to Liberia, reports BBC. The shipment will be the first potentially preventative medicine to reach one of the hardest hit countries.
But experts say that, with Ebola cases falling, it may be difficult to establish whether the jab offers any protection against the virus.
It has been produced by British company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and the US National Institutes of Health.

Gates sees 'miracle' tools for AIDS by 2030 in vaccine and drugs
Two new tools to fight AIDS should be available by 2030 in the form of a vaccine and new intense drug treatments, ending most cases of a disease that has killed millions in the past 30 years, Bill Gates said, reports Reuters.
The Microsoft founder, whose philanthropic foundation has poured millions of dollars into medical research, told the World Economic Forum in Davos the "two miracles" were within reach in the coming years.
Gates, whose Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation plays a major role in funding medical research, is also optimistic about the fight against malaria, where work on a vaccine is more advanced than for AIDS.
