Veteran British journalist missing in Amazon

A British journalist and a Brazilian indigenous expert have gone missing in a remote area of the Amazon rainforest.

Dom Phillips, a regular contributor to the Guardian newspaper in Brazil, was last seen in the Javari region, Amazonas state at the weekend.

He was travelling the area with Bruno Pereira while researching a book. The two had received threats days before, say indigenous groups.

Mr Phillips' family say "every second counts" in the hunt for him.

Federal police and navy are searching for the two in the remote region.

Two fishermen were arrested in connection with the men's disappearance on Monday evening, SIA reports quoting the Brazilian newspaper O Globo. They have since been released.
