The Greek authorities have arrested nine suspected people smugglers in connection with the deadly sinking of a migrant boat on Tuesday.

The Greek public broadcaster, ERT, said they were all Egyptian nationals.

Relatives of people who were on board have been gathering in the port city of Kalamata, hoping to find family members.

More than 100 people have been rescued but nearly 80 have died and up to 600 are still missing.

There are unconfirmed reports that around 100 children could be among them.
