(AP) ISTANBUL – Some 58 people drowned when a fishing boat carrying migrants that smugglers had promised refuge in Europe sank after hitting rocks off the coast of western Turkey, officials said Thursday. Nine children were among the dead, according to Turkey’s Dogan News Agency. Several dozen survivors, mostly from Iraq and Syria, were able to swim through the Aegean waters to shore, only 160 feet away. Survivors had told authorities that some people were trapped below the deck of the submerged vessel, and 전라남도콜걸 divers launched an operation to try to find them. Television footage showed several rescue vessels near the dim outline of the submerged boat, which lay just below the surface of the water. Ambulances waited at the top of a cliff, but there were no indications that anyone else had survived. The group of migrants had previously made their way to hotels in the city of Izmir, where smugglers agreed to take them to Britain. Authorities arrested two Turkish suspects in the smuggling operation, Turkey’s TRT television reported.

Updated at 2:05 p.m. ET (CBS/AP) UNITED NATIONS – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is making his case against Iran before the United Nations General Assembly, arguing that time is quickly running out to stop the Islamic Republic from becoming a nuclear power and the threat of force must be seriously considered. “At this late hour, there is only one way to peacefully prevent Iran from getting atomic bombs, and that is by placing a clear red line on Iran’s nuclear weapons program,” Netanyahu said. His demand that President Obama declare red lines that would trigger an American attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been rejected in Washington and sparked a public rift between the two leaders. But Netanyahu said at U.N. headquarters Thursday that nothing could imperil the world more than a nuclear-armed Iran. “To understand what the world would be like with a nuclear-armed Iran, just imagine a world with a nuclear-armed al Qaeda,” Netanyahu said. At the beginning of his address Thursday, he disputed Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s statement from earlier in the week that Israel has “no roots” in the Middle East. Netanyahu told the gathered world leaders and diplomats: “The Jewish people have come home. We will never be uprooted again.” During his three-day visit, Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, Canadian Prime Minister...

Many health care providers nationwide are prescribing food instead of medicine to tackle the obesity epidemic. Doctors in more than a dozen states are moving away from recommending surgery or pills, and participating in programs that offer healthy food to patients struggling with medical issues related to their weight. One hospital in central Pennsylvania is taking the effort even further, reports CBS News’ Jan Crawford. At Geisinger Hospital in central Pennsylvania, food deliveries turn medical professionals into temporary grocers. It’s all part of a new Fresh Food Pharmacy, now open in the heart of coal country, where shuttered mines have contributed to high unemployment and rising poverty, which has made healthy eating a low priority.   The program was created by Dr. Andrea Feinberg, Geisinger’s medical director for health and wellness. “We have a higher incidence of obesity, a higher incidence of diabetes and food insecurity,” Feinberg said. According to Feinberg, the program is offering people hope and a “new way to look at diabetes.” “There are pockets of communities around the United States where the word has not gotten out that food is really medicine,” she explained. The pilot program, which started just nine months ago, currently serves more than 60 patients and their families, providing healthy food free of charge to more than 200 people each week along with nutrition classes and cooking advice. But making a...
