Ferry survivors rescued in Madagascar

A French navy rescue team in Madagascar says it has found 21 people alive after a ferry carrying more than 40 people sank in bad weather on Monday night.

Four people have been confirmed dead and several others are still missing.

The ferry was travelling up Madagascar's eastern coast from Toamasina to Maroantsetra when it sent a distress signal shortly before it capsized.
