Dozens await rescue from stricken Italian ferry

Dozens of passengers are awaiting rescue from the deck of a stricken Italian ferry following a fire on Sunday. As many as 120 passengers remain on-board the vessel, Norman Atlantic, which had been travelling from Patras in Greece to Ancona in Italy. Helicopter crews have been winching small groups of people to shore in gale-force winds and freezing temperatures off the Greek island of Corfu.
