Colombia's public broadcaster has released new footage of the four children who were rescued in the country's southern jungle, five weeks after a plane crash. The children can be seen in the footage being fed and tended to by members of Colombia's armed forces. The children – aged 13, nine, four and 11 months – are members of the Indigenous Huitoto people. They were travelling with their mother to an Amazonian village when their plane crashed.

They were taken to a military hospital in the capital Bogotá, where they were visited by the country's president Gustavo Petro.
