In his first interview since being kicked out of the US, FIFA referee Omar Artan tells’s the NYT’s Matt Bigg that the biggest dream of his professional life has been shattered. The World Cup ref was questioned for 11 hours, held in a cell and then dumped on a plane.

Tournament hasn’t even begun and I’m disgusted already. Shame on the US administration and shame on FIFA.
In the first weeks after the outbreak was announced it was quite hard to follow the numbers, both because suspect cases were accumulating with little testing and because it kept shifting who was putting out what numbers.
Now we seem to have settled into a pattern with these situation reports.
The Ebola outbreak in the DRC is still growing rapidly. There are now 635 confirmed cases including 127 deaths.
That's 37 new confirmed cases in the past 24 hours, all of them from Ituri province.
