The identity of the infected nurse has not been disclosed.  </p><br><p dir="ltr">  A second infection at the Dallas hospital has raised questions about the protocols used to contain the virus, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control acknowledged as much in a statement. "An additional health care worker testing positive for Ebola is a serious concern, and the C.D.C. has already taken active steps to minimize the risk to health care workers and the patient," the agency said.  </p><br><p>  A nurse's union for the hospital, meanwhile, has sharply criticized the hospital, describing a lack of training for health workers and "confusion and frequently changing policies and protocols."  </p><br><p>  <b>Hong Kong:</b> Video <a href="http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71wj4o.1d3o/VD5zOMPoAUL7jAQ5Aa935 style="font-weight:bold;color:#ea1414" target="blank">has surfaced</a> showing police in Hong Kong allegedly beating up a pro-democracy protester, a development that may galvanize the enclave's embattled protest movement.   </p><br><p>  &nbsp;  </p><br>
