Teenage girl found in boat drifting for 22 days at sea – BBC News
A 17-year-old from Ivory Coast has shared her incredible story of being rescued after spending three weeks adrift at sea.
Out of 59 passengers, Aicha is one of only three to survive – recovering after 10 days in hospital.
It’s the biggest known tragedy involving migrant boats in the Canary Islands.
Aicha left her hometown in November and travelled to Mauritania, where she got the boat. Only her older sister knew of her plans to make the perilous journey.
She was rescued by a Spanish Air Force crew member, who she has now been reunited with.

Today, an undercover BBC investigation has found evidence of law firms and legal advisors helping migrants pretend to be gay to get asylum.
Migrants were advised to take staged photos at nightclubs, attend LGBT events and to go to GPs pretending to be depressed to obtain medical evidence to support their cases.
Adam and Chris are joined by BBC politics investigation correspondent Billy Kenber, who uncovered the story. In response to our findings, the Home Office said: “Anyone found trying to exploit the system will face the full force of the law, including removal from the UK.”
Plus, Adam also checks in with Faisal, who’s in the US at the IMF’s annual conference. He fills us in on the indirect war of words between Rachel Reeves and her US counterpart, Scott Bessent.

Hungary has seen a historic election result. After 16 years in power, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been ousted from the role.
Péter Magyar’s Tisza party won a comfortable “super majority” with two-thirds of the seats in parliament, meaning the party will be able to change the constitution.
The defeat will mean a huge reset of Hungary’s relationships with the rest of the world.
Orbán has been a close partner of both US President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, and he had become a big thorn in the side of the EU and Ukraine.
The BBC’s Europe Editor Katya Adler was in Budapest as the election unfolded, and takes you with her in this video as a historic defeat takes place.

Americans are reacting to President Donald Trump’s escalating feud with Pope Leo XIV and the backlash surrounding an AI-generated image depicting the president as a Jesus-like figure, which has since been deleted.
On Monday, Trump posted a lengthy Truth Social message attacking the pontiff, who has been a vocal critic of the US and Israeli military operations in Iran.
He criticised the Pope, calling him “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy”.
The Pope said on Monday that he has “no fear” of the Trump administration or “speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do”.

US President Donald Trump said US-Iran talks could restart in Pakistan “in the next two days”, though Iran is yet to comment.
He also said the war is “very close to over”, in a preview of an interview released by Fox News.
Meanwhile, Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon continue, after it held talks with the Lebanese government in the US on Tuesday.

She was fortunate to carry some extra weight , that along with youth and will power is the reason why she survived while most did not .

she said after 2 days they had no more water left. Kinda blows my mind that someone can survive without water and food for 20 days.

If you watch this story and still believe in god you’re an idiot with no critical thinking skills. What god would allow a 14 year old girl to watch 50 plus people die over the course of 6-22 days

I am very happy that three survived.
But how do you get 60 people in to a 30 foot boat, and not sink the boat?

What hit me the most was when she said in the beginning they said prayers, and by the end they didn't say prayers. I can't imagine that sense of absolute hopelessness.

They ran out of water 2 days into the 22 day journey. A person can only survive 3 to 5 days without water before the organs start to shut down. They did not ask her how the 3 people survived for 20 days with no water.
