 And at least seven people are missing after a cargo ship that had been barred from sailing sank off the coast of Liberia. The vessel named Niko Ivanka left the capital, Monrovia, on Saturday morning for a port in the country south. This is in spite of being under a Liberia maritime authority detention order for failing to make basic safety requirements. The vessel sent out a distress signal that afternoon, notifying the coast guard that it had taken on water, but the time authorities arrived, it had already partially sunk.
