How many victims are there up to now in this disaster? [originaltext] Italy s

Italy says it will declare a state of emergency over the cruise liner lying capsized off the west coast and provide funding to help avert any environmental disaster. Six people are known to have died in the accident and 16 are still missing. Bethany Bell is at the accident site.
    The stricken vessel was carrying more than 2,000 tonnes of diesel. Concern is growing about the fuel on the wreck of the Costa Concordia. The ship’s tanks were full, and there are fears for the environment. Italy’s environment minister said work to avoid a spill is underway, but he said the risk for the island is high and time is running out.
