From Ebola-ravaged Guinea, where more than 2,500 people died in the West African Ebola Epidemic:  A new vaccine being tested by Merck has proven to be 100-percent effective, although officials believe it will be 75 - 100 percent effective in real world use.  Because of the emergency posed by the epidemic that began in December 2013, researchers sped up the research - compressing what is usualy a decade's worth of work into just twelve months, including tests on 4,000 people.  Once an Ebola infection was identified, researchers quickly innoculated the patient's family and stopped the killer in its tracks.  This epidemic is in its ending phase, hopefully, and the World Health Organization says the success of this first of several vaccines coming on-line could be a game changer.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was unequivocable about calling the burning death of an 18-month old Palestinian baby "terrorism" that will not be tolerated.  Israeli settlers are identified as the assailants who attacked the home Duma in the West Bank where little Ali Saad Dawabsheh and his family were sleeping.  The settlers spray painted graffiti in the side of the home, including the word "revenge" in Hebrew as they set it alight.  Little Ali's four year old brother and parents were seriously burned, and are in a critical condition in an Israeli hospital with burns over 75 percent of their bodies.  Netanyahu visited them there, and vowed to hold the terrorists reponsible.  The UN condemned Israel's government for not being tough enough on settler violence against Palestinians.

With the family in hospital, hundreds of people attended the funeral of Ali, and they were not happy.  Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that when Israel approves Jewish settlements in Palestinian lands - as it did earlier this week - it grants license to thugs to commit acts of violence, such as the arson attack that killed Baby Ali.  They compared it to last year's torching of a Palestinian teenager, and a similar incident in 2009 when another family of four was burned by settlers.  They buried him in what resembles a Potter's Field, with a few cinder blocks and a couple of printed photographs to mark the grave.  The Palestinian Ambassador to the UN is planning to lobby the Security Council for support, saying he's not confident in the Netanyahu government's commitment to stop settler violence.

A Colombian CASA 235 military transport plane crashed in the north of the country, killing all twelve people on board.

Zimbabwe's Environment Minister Oppah Muchinguri says the country's prosecutor general has begun extradition procedings to ask the United States to hand over Walter Palmer, the jerk suspected of hunting and killing Cecil the Lion.  Muchinguri says that Palmer is a "foreign poacher" who engaged in an illegal hunt.  Two guides who were paid by Palmer were already charged.  It's believed the three used a freshly-killed bait animal to lure Cecil from the protection of the Hwange reserve, shot him with a cross bow, and tracked the bleeding, suffering Lion for 40 hours until finally killing him with a gun.

Nigeria's military says it rescued 71 women and girls from a fight with Boko Haram in which "a number" of terrorists were killed.  It's unclear if any of them were from Boko Haram's evil raid on the Chibok Boarding School more than a year ago.  Chad's army says it has killed 117 Boko haram fighters in a two week operation.  But the terrorist group, which says it means to establish an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria, proved it is still able to kill by setting off a bomb in a market in Maiduguri.

Russian President Vladimir Putin "personally ordered" the killing of Alexander Litvinenko, according to the lawyer representing Litvinenko's family before the the inquiry into the former spy's death.  Like Putin, Litvinenko was a former KGB agent.  But he grew to believe Putin and his government were corrupt, and he defected to the West.  Litivenenko was killed by radioactive Polonium slipped into his tea at a sushi bar in London in 2006.  Attorney Ben Emmerson QC told the inquiry that Russian state responsibility had been proven "beyond reasonable doubt".

The UK has relented andgranted artist Ai Wei Wei a six-month visa for his latest project.  Some moron bureaucrat initially limited Ai's time to two weeks for supposedly failing to report a criminal conviction in China.  In fact, Ai was trapped in home detention without charges by the Beijing government during 2011.  Home Secretary Theresa May personally issued the correction.
