Bodies of 11 refugees, most of them infants, recovered off Greece

Drownings off island of Samos bring the number of people known to have died trying to reach Greece to 50 in five days The human tragedy unfolding on Europe’s southern periphery deepened on Sunday as the Greek coastguard announced that another 11 refugees, most of them infants, had died in their desperate attempt to reach the west – their deaths adding to the ever growing toll at sea. Pitiful images of rescue workers recovering babies from the cabin of a six-metre boat were played out off the Aegean island of Samos after a dingy capsized in stormy weather as it made the perilous crossing from Turkey. “We recovered 11 drowned bodies, ten of which were trapped inside the boat’s cabin,” one coastguard official was quoted as saying. Four babies, two children and four women were among the dead.

Africa's most coup-prone state is still more peaceful than the US

According to this year's edition of an annual report from the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), Botswana, Kuwait, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Angola, and Burkina Faso all have one surprising thing in common: They are more peaceful than the US. The Global Peace Index from the IEP compiles yearly rankings of peacefulness in 162 nations based on 23 different types of data.​ The IEP attempts to answer a simple question: Is the world getting more or less peaceful? While the most peaceful nations in the world are growing more peaceful, with some reaching historic highs, the least peaceful countries are descending further into chaos and war. The report also includes an analysis of the economic impact of containing and dealing with the consequences of global violence. Last year violence containment was estimated to cost $14.3 trillion, which is approximately 13.4% of the world's gross domestic product. HERE'S A LOOK AT THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REPORT (AND HERE'S THE FULL REPORT): SEE ALSO: THE 10 MOST REPUTABLE CITIES IN THE WORLD EUROPE IS HOME TO THE MAJORITY OF THE WORLD'S MOST PEACEFUL NATIONS. Of the 20 most peaceful countries in the world, 15 are located in Europe. Greece rose 22 places, and the United Kingdom rose eight, after diminishing their military presence in Afghanistan. MEANWHILE, THE US RANKED 94TH OUT OF 162 NATIONS. The US sits in the middle tier of the ranking because of long-running international military campaigns, unparalleled levels of incarceration and homicide, and colossal military spending.  NATIONS LIKE VIETNAM AND KOSOVO THAT WERE MIRED IN UGLY CONFLICTS YEARS AGO HAVE BOUNCED BACK AND BECOME RELATIVELY PEACEFUL.

6 Infants Drown When Migrant Boat Capsizes Off Greek Island

ATHENS, Nov 1 (Reuters) - Eleven migrants including six infants drowned when their boat capsized off the Greek island of Samos, trapping most of them in the cabin, the coast guard said on Sunday. Fifteen others were rescued when the six-meter boat sank in the early hours near the coast of the Aegean island. The death toll from drowning among thousands of refugees making the short but dangerous crossing from Turkey to Greece's eastern islands has risen in recent weeks as autumn weather has set in, bringing high winds and falling temperatures. "We recovered 11 drowned bodies, 10 of which were trapped inside the vessel's cabin," a coast guard official said, adding that the dead included four babies, two children and four women. A search and rescue operation was continuing to find two more migrants missing from the boat. Greece has been a transit point for more than 570,000 refugees and migrants fleeing conflict in the Middle East and beyond this year, putting European nations at odds over how to deal with the continent's biggest humanitarian crisis in decades.
