Authorities in the Philippines are working to contain the oil spill from a ship which capsized just off the coast of the capital, manila. The tanker carrying 1.4 million litres of industrial fuel sank in the rough seas whipped up by typhoon Gaemi. The Philippines coast guard rescued sixteen of the seventeen crew members onboard the 'Terra Nova'. Greenpeace has warned the spill will have a huge impact on local fishing grounds.
