Aunt's regrets over Syrian boys' fatal journey

In her first British interview, the aunt of the three-year-old Syrian boy who drowned off the coast of Turkey, has spoken about his final journey.
Alan Kurdi drowned along with his brother Galip, 5, and their mother after fleeing their home town of Kobane in war-torn Syria and a camp in Turkey.
The picture of Alan's washed-up body lying face down on a beach has become a symbol of the refugee crisis.
Tima Kurdi, who lives in Canada, told Victoria Derbyshire she was heartbroken about what happened and regrets sending the money to help fund the trip.
