Russia declares state of emergency after massive oil spill in the Arctic Circle

President Vladimir Putin has declared a state of emergency in a region within the Arctic Circle in far northern Russia.

The plant is operated by a subsidiary of Norilsk Nickel, a leading palladium and nickel producer.
