Divers have resumed their hunt for the six missing people who disappeared after a luxury yacht sank off Sicily's coast.

The British-flagged Bayesian, a 56-metre-long superyacht, was carrying 22 people and anchored off the port of Porticello when it was hit by a fierce, pre-dawn storm on Tuesday.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says hopes are dwindling - and this is more likely to be a recovery mission than a rescue.
