Updated 10.37pm: Liberia's Ebola epidemic is almost over, with the country confirming it's now dealing with just five cases of the disease.

Almost nine thousand people have died in the west African nation and its neighbours Guinea and Sierra Leone in the past year, although experts believe the real toll could be a lot higher.

At the height of the epidemic Liberia was reporting 300 new cases a week.

Meanwhile the British nurse who caught Ebola while she was working in Sierra Leone says she's happy to be alive.

Pauline Cafferkey has been treated in isolation at a hospital in Glasgow for nearly a month.

She's now out of hospital, and fully recovered from the virus.
