A British lad has been missing in the Vietnamese jungle for five days.
Aiden Webb, from Norwich, was solo climbing Fansipan, the highest mountain in the country at more than 10,000 ft, when he fell, injured himself and lost his way.
The 22-year-old remained in contact with his girlfriend until Saturday morning when his phone died.

His family have now set up a Facebook page titled 'Help us find Aiden in Vietnam' as the search for him continues.
One post reads: "Aiden is lost, injured, cold & wet in the Vietnam Jungle. Please! Help us find him!"
"He has hurt his knee, torn open his arm and lost his flashlight after falling by a waterfall ... ANY backpackers in the area, any experienced climbers or locals that are willing to save a life, I will reward you for your efforts & for finding him!!!!! We NEED people who are strong!!!!!

"I know him very well, he is tough & has incredible endurance. Most of all, he is a friend, one with an incredible heart. Time after time he is there for other people.
"Please, anyone who has known him, continue to share his posts. We are running out of time!!!! The Vietnamese jungle can be harsh!!!!!! I want to see him home".
Aiden's father and uncle arrived in Vietnam this morning to meet officials and rescue teams and to join in the search.
Our thoughts are with his family at this stressful and difficult time. We hope he's found safe and well really soon.
Let's help spread the word. Let's find Aiden.
