An 11-year-old girl survived three days at sea after a migrant boat sank in a storm off Italy's Lampedusa island. She was found clinging to tyre inner tubes and was the sole survivor of the 45 people on board. The girl, from Sierra Leone, set off from the Tunisian city of Sfax and was suffering from hypothermia when rescued. The sea migration route between Tunisia, Libya, Italy, and Malta is one of the most dangerous in the world, with more than 24,300 people having disappeared or died along it since 2014. Italy's hardline approach to immigration is contributing to a fall in sea arrivals.

Two young climbers, an 18-year-old from Nepal and a 23-year-old from the UK, have conquered the world's 14 highest mountains, with summits over 8,000 meters. Nima Rinji Sherpa became the youngest person to do so, while Adriana Brownlee, the second British woman to achieve this feat, did so without supplementary oxygen. Both climbers hope to inspire others with their achievements and promote safety in mountain climbing. Fewer than 100 people have accomplished this incredible challenge, with the first British climber, Alan Hinkes, completing it in 2005.<|im_start|>user|summary|

What if the first climbers to conquer Mount Everest weren't Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay?
A documentary team found human remains on Mount Everest that might belong to Andrew Irvine, who went missing in 1924 while attempting to reach the summit with George Mallory.

  • Climate change has exposed the bodies of many mountaineers who died on the mountain.
  • The discovery of a boot and sock could provide clues to Irvine's and Mallory's fate.
  • The Irvine family offered to share DNA samples to confirm the identity of the remains.
