Italy’s navy says it has rescued 52 migrants from a sinking rubber dinghy in the Mediterranean, but about 50 others are missing.<\/p>\n
A warship was able to pick up about half of those on board. Another two people were rescued after being spotted clinging to a floating barrel.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, migrants continue to arrive on the Greek island of Kos, where tensions are growing over the influx.<\/p>\n
