Four dead as ferry capsizes off Phillipines coast

At least four people have died after a ferry carrying more than 250 people capsized off the Philippine coast. About 240 were pulled alive from the rough sea by navy and coast guard and local fisherman. Among the survivors is 61-year-old Australian man Roland Kempt, who lives in the Philippines. Rescuers say their efforts have been hampered by wild weather. A survivor has told a radio station that bad weather briefly delayed the ferry's departure and strong winds and large waves started to lash it about two hours into the trip.
