Rescue teams have suspended their search of the Costa Concordia, which ran aground and sank off Tuscany on Friday, after the wrecked cruise liner started shifting to deeper water.

Experts say they fear strong local currents may move the ship even further, causing it to break into pieces.

There were 4.2 thousand people on board when the disaster struck, including 111 Russian holidaymakers. The known deaths are at 11, and some 20 passengers and crew remain unaccounted for.
