BBC World Service - Newshour, Four children rescued after 40 days in Amazon

The children have been alone in the jungle after surviving a plane crash.

Four Colombian children who were on a plane that crashed in the Amazon jungle more than a month ago have been found alive.  The children - aged 13, nine, four and one -  were the only survivors when the Cessna plane they were travelling in with their mother went down in Caquetá.

Also in the programme: former US president Donald Trump has made his first speech since federal charges over his handling of classified documents was announced; and Sri Lanka has lifted import restrictions on nearly three-hundred items as the country is showing signs of emerging from its worst economic crisis in decades.
