Canadian scientists are putting together a plan to try and rescue an endangered right whale which is caught in fishing line and has a life-threatening infection.

The whale was first spotted last month off the coast of Massachusetts. But efforts by American scientists to free it from the line have failed.

The whale is in waters off the coast of Nova Scotia. Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DF0) is planning a rescue attempt.
