How to survive in the jungle

We hear from two people about their experiences of being stranded in a jungle.

With news this week of the four children who survived the Colombian Amazon for forty days, we speak to two people about their similar experiences – one was stranded in the Bolivian Amazon for three weeks and at one point had to fend off a jaguar, and the other was in the Hawaiian jungle for 17 days - with a broken foot.

Greek officials have denied a series of reports that suggest a migrant boat capsized 50 miles off the south coast because a rope was attached by coastguards. So far 78 people are confirmed dead but hundreds more are feared missing. We speak to our correspondent in Greece about the search operation and ask our correspondent in Cairo about reports that many of the migrants on board were from Egypt.

We talk to our BBC Russian colleague who together with BBC Verify has found out that the number of Russian soldiers killed is far higher than official figures released by Moscow.

Presenter: Peter Okwoche.
