"Listen, there are people that are coming down the pilot ladder of the prow. You go up that pilot ladder, get on that ship and tell me how many people are still on board. And what they need. Is that clear? You need to tell me if there are children, women or people in need of assistance. And tell me the exact number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, that you saved yourself from the sea, but I am going to... I'm going to make sure you get in trouble. ...I am going to make you pay for this. Go on board."

Clarke not in favour of playing four pacers at Gabba
Australian captain Michael Clarke has indicated spinner Nathan Lyon will play in the first Test against New Zealand at the Gabba.
Clarke will name his team before the toss on Thursday morning, but strongly hinted that his side would not play a four-man pace attack into the opening Test of the summer.
Now, one of five selectors, Clarke engaged in a 40-minute selection meeting with the rest of the new panel beside the Gabba wicket before training, The Age reports.
The panel has decided on their 12th man, but Clarke chose not to reveal the disappointed player - expected to be paceman Mitchell Starc or Ben Cutting - at his pre-match press conference. (ANI)
