If you're serious about rock climbing you’ll have heard of the Dawn Wall.  It’s part of a huge rock in Yosemite national park called El Capitan and it has never been climbed. It's too smooth and incredibly dangerous.  However, two climbers are a third of the way up. The pictures are amazing.

The number of people who have died from Ebola in West Africa has passed 8000. More than 20,000 people have been infected in the three worst affected countries, almost half of them in Sierra Leone. Crucial to ending the outbreak is the way the bodies are buried. They are highly toxic but in traditional ceremonies bodies are washed carefully before being laid to rest. That is so dangerous the practice has been banned in Sierra Leone for many months now. Anybody who dies at home is presumed to be an Ebola victim and their body is collected by special burial teams.

They are an army of paid volunteers - students, teachers, labourers - from the community. The British government is funding over 100 burial teams. The Â鶹ԼÅÄ's Global Health Correspondent Tulip Mazumbar spent the day with one from the Sierra Leone Red Cross.

In a couple of years from now it is possible that Britain will have decided to leave the European Union.

The premiere of Disney's latest film 'Into the Woods', an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's award winning musical, is taking place tonight. The musical is a quirky montage of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales of "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cinderella", "Jack and the Beanstalk", and "Rapunzel" - written for an adult audience, with adult plot lines - unlike the film which has been produced for a ‘family-friendly’ audience. Is there any problem in adapting fairy tales for different audiences? Philip Pullman is author of 'Grimm Tales: For Young and Old'. Dame Marina Warner is a writer and professor of Literature & Creative Writing at Birkbeck.
