The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Rescuers are scrambling to search for six people, including British tech mogul Mike Lynch, who are missing after a tornado capsized a super yacht off the coast of Sicily.

There were 22 aboard when the yacht sank, 15 have been rescued, including a New Zealand citizen.

One person is confirmed dead.

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking the ship’s mast was snapped in half when the storm hit, which caused the yacht to lose balance and capsize.
