'How I survived hantavirus'
We speak to people who have had hantavirus.
The World Health Organisation has confirmed an eighth case of Hantavirus on board a cruise ship at the centre of a deadly outbreak of the disease. The Spanish government has given permission for the ship to dock in the Canary Islands where they will be examined. So what is it like to have the disease? We speak to two people who have survived it.
We speak to our science reporter about a massive wave that swept through a narrow Alaskan fjord last year - the second largest ever recorded. Such waves, known as mega-tsunamis, are caused by landslides crashing into water.
An Airbnb host has gone viral after sharing a video of her property that she says was trashed by the previous guests. We hear from people who own holiday rentals about their worst experiences.
