    A 16-thousand tonne Russian cargo ship that ran aground in Cornwall - with 18 crew members on board - has been refloated.

    The huge Kuzma Minin had been stuck off a Falmouth beach since early this morning after slipping its anchor in bad weather.

     

    But with the help of tug boats it's managed to float again.
