The chances of finding more survivors “are minimal,” retired Greek coast guard Admiral Nikos Spanos told ERT. The Greek coast guard said it was notified of the boat’s presence late Tuesday morning and observed by helicopter that it was “sailing on a steady course” at 6pm. About 40 minutes later, according to the coast guard statement, the migrant vessel began to rock violently and sank. “Consider also that an intervention by the coast guard could have placed an overloaded vessel in danger, which could capsize as a result,” he said.

JobKeeper was a wage subsidy program announced by the Morrison government in March 2020 just as the economy was effectively shut down to stop the spread of COVID-19. This was reduced to $1200 for full-time workers from September 2020 and to $1000 between January and March in 2021. The review, to be headed by former deputy Treasury secretary Nigel Ray, will examine the impact of JobKeeper on workers, businesses that received the payment, the job market and the broader economy. “The JobKeeper Evaluation will consider the objectives and design and effectiveness of JobKeeper. It will also record lessons learned from the design and implementation of JobKeeper, with a view to informing future policy responses,” the department said.

Looking at the prices of vegetables in the Libyan market, there has been a noticeable decrease in the general level of prices in the past months during which they rose slightly, while the prices of imported fruits remained the same since last January. One vegetable trader at the Sug Al-Ahad fruit and vegetable market said the decline in vegetable prices is due to several factors. Similarly, this applies to tomatoes, which are produced in good quantities during the same months from several farms in Libyan cities, especially from the city of Jallo. Therefore, he explained, the supply of potatoes and tomatoes in large quantities affects general vegetable market prices due to a significant decline in their prices. Regarding the onion crop, the increase in the price of onions is due to the decrease in the quantities offered in the Libyan market.

ATHENS: At least 79 migrants drowned and hundreds more were missing and feared dead after their overloaded boat capsized and sank in open seas off Greece, in one of Europe’s deadliest shipping disasters in recent years. The UN’s migration agency estimated up to 400 while Greece declined to speculate on the passenger count. Greek authorities did not confirm the vessel’s departure port. The Greek coast guard said EU border agency Frontex first spotted the boat on Tuesday in international waters southwest of Pylos, and Italian authorities then alerted Greece to the vessel’s presence. Alarm Phone said it informed Greek authorities, Frontex and the Greek division of the UN refugee agency UNHCR late on Tuesday afternoon.
