Missionary nun and nurse Paciencia Melgar caught Ebola whilst caring for victims of the disease at a Liberian hospital. She survived, so is now immune to the disease, and is trying to help other Ebola sufferers. Last month, Paciencia donated her blood to the Spanish nurse who was the first person outside West Africa to be infected with Ebola. That nurse has now been given the all clear, and Paciencia says being able to help her recover has made it all worth it.

The novelist Linda Davies and her husband Rupert were unknowingly caught up in a bitter territorial dispute between Iran and the United Arab Emirates.

Next Sunday, thousands of athletes will take part in the 11th International Beirut Marathon. The race is seen as a symbol of peace and unity in war-torn Lebanon. Its founder is May Faysal El-Khalil. She used to be a very committed runner herself, but then in 2001, she was hit by a van while training and seriously injured. Lying in hospital coming to terms with the fact that her own running days were over, she came up with the idea of organising a marathon - so that other people could run.

When the singer songwriter Yusuf Islam - also known as Cat Stevens - was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year, it was a significant moment. After his conversion to Islam at the height of his fame in the 1970s, he gave up his music career. For years there seemed to be a real ambivalence about how he viewed his earlier pop star identity, and how he was viewed by audiences in Britain and America. He talks to the 成人快手's Samira Ahmed about returning to music in the last ten years, and taking his new album on the road.
