Bangladeshi migrant: 'I was at sea for three weeks'

Thousands of Bangladeshi and Rohingya migrants are stranded at sea, adrift in the Bay of Bengal as no south-east Asian country wants to take them in.

They've paid people-traffickers to take them to Malaysia where they hope to get jobs and send money home.

Bangladesh hosts a large Rohingya population which has fled neighbouring Myanmar, also known as Burma, due to persecution.

Akbar Hossain heads to the Cox's Bazar district of Bangladesh to find out why people want to leave and what they endure at sea.
