Dramatic rescues as boats sink off Greece; 21 deadResidents of a Greek island pulled shipwrecked migrants to safety up steep cliffs in dramatic rescues after two boats sank in Greek waters, leaving at least 21 people dead and dozens still missing.The coast guard in the eastern island of Lesωos said 16 bodies of young African women and one young young man were recovered there after a dinghy carrying about 40 people sank. Ten women were rescued, while 13 other migrants were believed to be missing, coast guard officials said.The second rescue effort was launched several hundred kilometers (miles) to the west, off the island of Kythira, where a sailboat struck rocks and sank.

UK Prime Minister Liz Truss rules out deal with Greece over Parthenon MarblesMove rebuffs George Osborne, the chair of the British Museum, who proposed a new collaborative arrangementThe UK Prime Minister Liz Truss has rejected suggestions that an agreement can be made with Greece over sharing the Parthenon Marbles, which have been housed at the British Museum in London since the early 19th century.Her position on the controversial restitution issue puts her at odds with George Osborne, the chairman of the British Museum and former UK chancellor, who said earlier this year there is a “deal to be done” with Greece, fuelling the long-standing debate over the reunification of the ancient sculptures. When asked about a possible deal, Truss told the TV and radio channel GB News: “I don’t support that.”
