Aid agencies are urging western governments to focus the efforts in tackling Ebola in West Africa instead of screening people at their own borders. A medical expert advising the British government described health checks at UK airports as a political gesture. Screening has also got under way in New York as Nick Bryant reports.

John F. Kennedy International Airport is one of the main entry points into America. It's the first of five US airports to start enhanced screening of passengers from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, on connecting flights from Europe, mainly Brussels and Paris. This day it's thought about 75% people will have their temperature taken to detect any symptoms of Ebola. By the end of next week, screening will cover 94% of West Africans entering America. New York has always been America's great gateway, but the welcome is traditionally given to immigrants from impoverished nations, also makes it more vulnerable to Ebola.

纽约肯尼迪国际机场是通往美国的主要入口，也是美国开始对来自利比里亚、几内亚和塞拉利昂乘客进行更严格安检的五个机场中的第一个，同时还检查来自欧洲的航班，其中主要是布鲁塞尔和巴黎。据悉今天有大约75%的乘客将进行体温检查，来诊断是否出现埃博拉症状。截止下周末，体检将覆盖进入美国的94%的西非人。纽约一直是美国的大门，但传统上来说是欢迎贫困国家，这也就意味着这些乘客更易感染上埃博拉。

After 16 years of renovation, one of the oldest churches in Egypt St. Virgin Mary's Church in Cairo has reopened. Many Coptic churches were targeted last year after the ousting of the Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi. More details from Fahana Dawoud.

经过16年的翻新，埃及最古老的教堂、位于开罗的圣母玛利亚教堂现已再次向公众开放。在去年穆斯林兄弟会总统穆罕默德·穆尔西被驱逐后，许多科普特教堂受到袭击。Fahana Dawoud报道。

The hanging church owes its nickname to the fact that it rests above a gatehouse of a second century Roman fortress. It's located in a compound close to Cairo's first mosque and one of the oldest Synagogues. Christians account for estimated 10% of Egypt's population and have long been victims of harassment. They support the ousting of the Islamist President Mohamed Morsi last year and paid dearly. Scores of churches were destroyed in the unrest that followed. Egypt's current President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi has a good relationship with Pope Tawadros II. The president has said he wants Christians and Muslims to be united.

悬空教堂之所以得名，是因为它坐落在一个二世纪罗马城堡的城楼之上，它所在的院落距离开罗第一座清真寺不远，附近还有最古老的犹太会堂。基督徒占埃及10%的人口，他们一直受到骚扰。他们去年支持驱逐伊斯兰总统穆罕默德·穆尔西，并因此付出沉重代价。在此后的动乱中，有十几座教堂被毁。埃及现总统赛西与教宗德落斯二世关系不错，总统称他希望基督徒和穆斯林能够团结起来。
