Researchers at Oxford who are developing an Ebola vaccine say it could be ready for trials in the next few months. We speak to Dr Andrew Pollard who’s been working on the vaccine. Also: an update from Havana, where supporters of the Cuban Revolution have been protesting against the indictment of former leader Raúl Castro. Plus, the musician Phil Collins on whether a comeback is afoot, and the author Elif Shafak talks about the need - and a new initiative - to help support literature across the country. PM today is presented by Katie Razzall.
