What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe New York Times reports Kenya has recorded its first Ebola case, in a man arriving from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Guardian says the health minister reported the man died, and twenty-eight contacts have been identified.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAuthorities say they are taking measures to prevent any spread.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty-eight contacts. That's a lot of people to call. I can't even get twenty-eight people to answer my group chat about beans.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorAlso, the BBC reports Indian opposition MPs were detained during a protest against the country's election chief, whom they accuse of manipulating voter rolls.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe allegation is theirs. In my experience, every election official in the world insists the rolls are spotless, right up until the shredder jams.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI once tried to count votes at my condo board. They detained me too. It was a very small protest.
