  • [01] Fifteen refugees die in the Aegean waters

    Fifteen refugees lost their lives when their boats capsided in the waters of the Aegean Sea.

    In the first tragic incident, six children and one woman were recovered dead, when the wooden boat, with about 48 people aboard, crashed at midnight on the rocks on the eastern coasts of Farmakonissi and sank.

    The Greek Coast Guard managed to rescue a girl, while the remaining 40 people had made it to get out safe by their own means.

    Soon afterwards, as it became known, eight bodies were recovered from the sea region off Kalolimnos.

    Vessels of the Coast Guard continue to search the area, in an effort to track down any more missing people and 26 people so far have been rescued.

    According to survivors, approximately 70-100 people were on board.

    [02] Government to insist on legislation for TV licenses, says official

    The government will push forward with the legislation needed to hold a tender for TV licenses soon, the general secretary of Information and Communication Lefteris Kretsos told private Greek TV station SBC on Thursday.

    He also blamed New Democracy for opposing and delaying the changes in the TV regulator's (NCRTV) board.
