Greece boat disaster: Rescue operation continues

Survivors from a fishing boat say up to 100 children may have been on board.

Relatives of people travelling in a migrant boat that sank off Greece have been arriving in a nearby port trying to find news of their family members. At least 78 people died in a shipwreck and hundreds are still missing. Greece has declared three days of national mourning. We speak to our reporter in Kalamata in Greece and to BBC Verify about the disaster. We also speak to people who take part in search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean.

A damning report by the British MPs has found that the former prime minister Boris Johnson deliberately lied to parliament over gatherings at his official residence during coronavirus lockdowns. Our political correspondent explains potential ramifications.

Forecasters say the cyclone approaching India and Pakistan could be the worst in 25 years. We have an update from BBC Weather.

We speak to a deputy mayor in Sweden, who as a protest against opposition to drag queen story time, dressed himself in drag.

Presenter: Peter Okwoche.
