Concordia disaster latest; Iraq abuse claims; Andy Murray at the Australian Open.

After the Concordia capsized, 29 people are missing. An Iraqi journalist claims torture is common in the country's prisons, and full commentary of Andy Murray's match in Australia.

Rhod Sharp with stories from around the world. 
The search for survivors in the Concordia disaster is continuing, but hopes are fading of finding anyone else alive. Matthew Price is at the scene and tells us about the investigation. And Peter Greenberg, travel editor of CBS news in America, tells us there are going to be some big, big lawsuits too.
The Guardian journalist, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, who was born in Iraq, says torture is now commonplace in prisons across Iraq. He's just been back to uncover the story of how Iraqi state security services are out of control - systematically arresting people on bogus charges, torturing them and extorting money from their families for their release.
Plans for high speed rail are proving controversial in the UK, and it's the same story in California. Opponents say millions have already been spent on a plan to link Los Angeles with California. Elizabeth Alexis is one of them, and explains why she's against the project. 
Then we cross live to Melbourne for live commentary of Andy Murray's first round match against Ryan Harrison at the Australian Open.
