Meanwhile boko haram released a string of attacks across states, kills hundreds of civilians. In may boko haram said it would release the girls in exchange for the release of their prisoners. The Nigerian Government would not release to those terms. Now, they have released an agreement. Make some demands on the Nigerian Government. It is not just the relationship of the girls alone. The Nigerian Government and the president of nigeria is looking beyond just, you know, releasing the girls. We want to end violence in this country.

On tuesday, protesters marched outside the president ial villa in six months of their abduction in solitarity of the girls. We anxious await evidence of this great result to celebrate as a nation. There had been many stats on their rescue but we are really trusting this. Well, the ebola epidemic in west africa doesnt appear to be slowing down. In fact the World Health Organization says we could see 10,000 ebola cases per week by the end of the year. The virus has already killed more than 4,500 people in west africa and possibly infected more than 9,000. Theres a big push for more countries to dedicate resources to stop ebola spread. Meanwhile the outbreak in senegal is over. That country only had one case. The w. H. O. Could declare nigeria ebola free on monday. Well hope for that. Well, three patients who checked in a a spanish hospital fearing they had ebola have all tested negative for the virus. They are at the same hospital where Teresa Romero is being treated. Lets go life to madrid. Very positive news on the condition of Teresa Romera the assistant weve been talking about. What are you hearing. Reporter yeah. Thats right. Certainly what were hearing from the hospital is very welcoming hospital. Everyday they give Teresa Romero a test to determine the legal of the ebola virus no her system. Over the past couple of days, the tests has shown low viruses the virus. This does reflect a trend over the next few days. Theres also somebody in another spanish hospital, a nurse who was speak the had also come into the hospital saying he had flu like symptoms. His first test coming back negative. All of these four people will be required to stay in isolation in the coming days. They will have a test monday 72 hours after that first test. If that is negative then that perhaps clears the way for authorities to give them a clean bill of health or treat whatever ska is causing the fever symptoms. That is good news indeed. Of course spanish sporauthoriti have been accused of incompetence throughout this crisis. Lessons have been learned. What has been do . Well, the epicenter of learning to treat ebola in spain. The hospital has increased its capacity. Remember this was a hospital that was the Infectious Diseases hospital. Cut backs meant that equipment and facilities were removed. On the next where they have doubled their capacity for treating ebola. They have eight rooms set aside for treating ebola. Theyve been criticized by the European Center for Disease Control saying that space was too small. Its not just that hospital here in madrid. One of Region Health tregions s spain in its own way has come along its past couple of weeks. It has been forced to by the imperative of having to tackle this deadly disease. Thank you, Nic Robertson bringing us up to date live in madrid. Two nurses, including amber vin srk vinson contracted the virus. Frontier airlines is contacting passengers who were on the flight. Another infected nurse, nin nina pham is said to be resting comfortably in maryland, meanwhile president barack obama is appointing ron clane as his ebola czar to help with the crisis. Some people are calming on obama to ban people entering the United States from countries which have ebola. Will it be helpful or practical. Tom foreman looks for answers. Reporter the first question can a travel ban be implemented. Legally the United States has a right to control who enters the country. There are no direct flights out of the hottest ebola zone to the United States. Most travelers through other airports or countries so any band would have to include massive numbers or fliers at over the globe at weeks at time. Disrupting global trade and more. Closing off is not only tech nickly difficu , technically difficult but also stops the flow of commerce and who we were as a society. Question, two, would the ban work. If a chain of infection became established from someone in the hot zone to someone outside of it, the disease could easily migrate to america around the band. Once more the administration is concerned that a ban could make people hide their true travel history. Then less likely to get treated properly, as a consequence we could end up having more cases than less. Could a small measure such as denying people in the hardest hit, maybe but many others are working in the hot zone but hold passes from other places. Theres going to be exceptions to which still going to make us vulnerable which f somebody comes here with ebola when closing off visas. Tom foreman reporting here from washington. Next here on cnn, Coalition Air craft continue their air strikes on isis. Are they gaining ground on the terror group or falling behind. We will take a look. As the u. S.
