We start with new developments out of Hungary,... scene to last week's tragic sinking of a tourist boat that killed several South Koreans... and left 21 unaccounted for, including 19 South Koreans.
Search teams say they have recovered the bodies of two people one male and one female and they both may be among the 19 missing South Koreans.
Officials say one of the bodies the man was definitely from the ill-fated boat, the other is still being identified..
The grim discovery means the official death toll rises to eight.
The missing stands at 20, including two Hungarian crew members.
Our Choi Si-young is on the line.
So Si-young, do we know whether the female body is from the accident... and where did the search team find the bodies?
Well, Connyoung.
As you touched upon, local police are still working to identify the female body.
If the female body that was recovered is also identified to be one of the MISSING from the boat accident, the death toll will rise to 9 with 19 missing, including 2 Hungarian crew members.
On Monday morning local time, the South Korean search team recovered the male body,... possibly aged in his late 50s.
The body was found one-hundred-two kilometers south of the site of the accident on the Danube River.

"At 5:20 PM, we recovered a female body presumed to be a South Korean national."
Since the male body was found so far away from the site of the accident, it's widely thought that the search perimeter will be widened.
The South Korean government has already asked neighboring countries such as Romania and Serbia to help in the search.
We understand the families of the victims are also there, having flown there over the weekend. Do we know what they are doing?
Yes the families are there.
Some of them wanted a close-up on the search operation, and over the weekend, 16 of them went up on two helicopters, looking at the site of the accident from up in the sky.
They flew as far as 70 kilometers away from the accident site and learned how the search operation is ongoing,... and what obstacles lay ahead.
The families are also being counseled by a special emergency team that's in Hungary.
Shifting our focus to the capsized boat itself, some claim the captain of the cruise ship that collided with the tourist boat is responsible for the sinking. What are we hearing?
On Sunday local time, the chairman of the company that owns the tourist boat told Yonhap News Agency that the captain of the cruise ship didn't communicate with them at all.
Ships have to radio communicate with nearby vessels when overtaking or sending warnings for some other reason, but he says he saw
