Here is the BBC Report.

Storm sinks ferry in Bangladesh



A ferry carrying more than 200 passengers has sunk in Bangladesh, said officials and police.
The double-decker ferry sank during a heavy storm in the Meghna river near Chandpur, 170km (106 miles) south of the capital Dhaka.

It had been sailing to Dhaka from the southern Madaripur area.

There were unconfirmed reports that seven bodies had been retrieved, and others that 27 people had swum to safety.
