Argentina says it's not giving up yet on missing sub.



Argentina's navy is not giving up hope that crew members could be alive 11 days after a submarine vanished off the Atlantic coast with 44 people aboard.

Navy spokesman Enrique Balbi told a news conference on Sunday the passage of time does not rule out "a situation of extreme survival".

Officials say they fear there was an explosion involving the vessel that lost contact on November 15.

Experts say the ARA San Juan had only about 10 days of oxygen supply at the outside.

It had been expected to dock on November 19 in the port of Mar del Plata.

So far there has been no sign of the sub, but Mr Balbi said the multinational search effort is continuing.

Anti-semitic attacks
The annual report by the Community Security Trust, which advises the Jewish community on security , warned on Thursday that anti-Semitic incidents in Britain had reached a record high.

It found there had been 2,255 anti-Semitic incidents reported in 2021, a rise of 34 per cent from the previous year.

The report detailed the convictions of a number of people for anti-Semitic crimes, including one man who was jailed for setting up a neo-Nazi group which had encouraged “the eradication of Jewish people” and another who had posted anti-Semitic homemade videos on social media.
