Fuel slick washes up on Gran Canaria beaches

More than 120kg of fuel oil has been scrapped off the beaches of Gran Canaria as authorities struggle to contain the spill from a Russian fishing boat which sank off the coast one week ago.

The Oleg Naydenov was carrying 1,400 tonnes of fuel oil when it sank, and it is currently leaking 5-10 litres of fuel an hour.
