A Bolivian man who was missing in the Amazon alone for a month has been rescued.

Jhonatan Acosta (30), who was attacked by animals numerous times during his ordeal, ate insects and drank rainwater to survive.  When the rains failed, he drank his own urine.

Acosta was reportedly overwhelmed by emotion when he was found as he had long given up on the idea that anyone was still searching for him.

Lester Kiewit interviewed international correspondent Adam Gilchrist about this and other stories making headlines around the world.
