35th anniversary of the Iranian Hostage Crisis

Next week marks the 35th anniversary of the Iranian hostage crisis.

52 Americans were captured and held for more than a year, after a group of Iranian students stormed the US embassy in Tehran.

The incident marked the start of the deterioration of relations between the two countries. But Robert McMahon from the Council on Foreign Relations think tank believes that the two are now uniting against a common enemy.

UN maintains no scientific basis for strict Ebola quarantine measures

{ANCHOR INTRO}

The United Nations is maintaining that there is no scientific basis to restrict travel of health workers returning from treating Ebola patients in West Africa, or put them under strict quarantine unless they present with symptoms.

The latest comments from UN officials come as a judge in Maine rejected a legal request to restrict the movements of a health worker who returned to the US from Sierra Leone.
