Bangladesh ferry crash: At least 25 dead as boat capsizes
At least 25 people have died and many more are missing after a ferry capsized in Bangladesh, near the capital Dhaka.
Rescue officials said the ship, the Morning Bird, overturned after a collision with another vessel in the Buriganga river, close to the country's largest river port, Sadarghat.
Local media reports said the ferry came from a village in the centre of the country and had about 50 passengers.
Ferry accidents are frequent in Bangladesh because of overcrowding.
