Philippines capsize search continues

The Philippines Coast Guard says the search for bodies from a ferry that capsized on Saturday could take up to a month.

More than 700 people are thought to have died in the accident.

Rescue divers have seen many bodies floating inside the ferry but are finding it difficult to get inside various parts of the ship.

Divers will use tools to break open doors and windows, but officials say it's too dangerous to cut holes in the side of the ferry because it might cause an oil leak.
