U.K NEWS:-UK Ebola nurse's condition stabilizes


The condition of a health worker battling Ebola in London has stabilized, but she remains in critical condition, Britain's health secretary told lawmakers Monday.
On December 29, Pauline Cafferkey, 39, of Glasgow, Scotland, became the first person to be diagnosed with the virus on UK soil, after returning from Sierra Leone the day before. On Saturday, the London hospital where she is being treated said that her condition had deteriorated over two days to critical.
In a statement to the British House of Commons Monday, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt commended Cafferkey and 69 other National Health Service volunteers who had spent Christmas in Sierra Leone for "the exceptional bravery and compassion they showed in joining the battle against Ebola."
He said the doctor leading the team caring for Cafferkey at the Royal Free had updated him on her condition Monday morning.
"As has been reported, Pauline's condition has deteriorated to a critical state, although she stabilized yesterday and continues to receive the best possible care," Hunt said.

SPORT NEWS:-Ronaldo won’t return to Manchester United -Di Maria

Manchester United are unlikely to succeed in any attempt to recapture Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, says Angel Di Maria. The Portugal international left Old Trafford for the Spanish giants in an £80 million deal in 2009 and has been incredibly successful at the Santiago Bernabeu.
