Philippines typhoon

The Philippine ferry was carrying 845 people when it ran aground on Saturday. Severe weather conditions meant that coastguards were unable to reach the vessel for 24 hours after losing radio contact. Relatives have been waiting anxiously for any news of their loved ones, but so far there's just four known survivors.
