Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos appointed on Thursday the head of the country's Supreme Court, Vassiliki Thanou, as the caretaker prime minister ahead of the early general elections. Thanou, who became the first female Greek prime minister, will swear her oath of office later on Thursday, while her cabinet will be inaugurated on Friday, daily Kathimerini informs. The exact date of the early elections will be announced by Pavlopoulos by the end fo the week, the most likely date being September 20. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced his resignation last week after his government lost its parliamentary majority following a major rebellion within the SYRIZA party. The dissent within the main ruling party was caused by the agreement of the third bailout programme between the government in Athens and its international creditors. Earlier on Wednesday, Tsipras ruled out forming a national unity government with the conservative New Democracy, socialist PASOK or the centrist To Potami party in case his party fails to win an outright majority in the forthcoming elections.

FINLAND, with its baffling language and culture of reserve, is not an easy place for outsiders to penetrate. For Nura Farah, the breakthrough came via the dissected brains of dead cows. Ms Farah, who arrived with her mother in 1993 as a teenager seeking asylum from Somalia’s civil war, spent eight years dreaming of a better life in London while she was taunted at school and bore racist abuse on the streets. But in 2001, working as a lab technician in Helsinki, she found herself charged with testing cow tissue for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad-cow disease. The work was fulfilling, her colleagues encouraging, and she moved on to bigger challenges. She took on Finnish citizenship, gave birth to a son and last year became the first Somali Finn to publish a novel. Finland is a long way from the migrant trouble that has erupted across Europe this summer. But as a country with little history of immigration that has had to integrate an unfamiliar minority, its experience resonates. Most EU countries will soon start receiving asylum-seekers from Italy and Greece, the main entry-points for illegal migrants. Many residents, particularly in Europe’s...

ATHENS, Greece -- Almost 2,500 Syrian refugees arrived in Greece's capital Wednesday on a massive car ferry that serves as a shuttle and floating accommodation center, Greek news agency ANA-MPA reports. The Greek government chartered the Eleftherios Venizelos ship nearly a week ago to relieve local authorities on the Greek islands who had been struggling to cope with the influx of hundreds of migrants each day. The ship, a car ferry that can hold up to 2,500 people, serves as an accommodation and identification center for Syrian refugees and a ferry to transfer them from their points of entry on the Greek islands to the port of Piraeus in Athens. The United Nations refugee agency estimates that 160,000 people have arrived in Greece since the beginning of the year -- almost four times as many as came in all of 2014. Most of them are refugees fleeing the wars in Syria and Afghanistan who have risked their lives crossing the eastern Aegean Sea from Turkey to the islands of Kos, Samos, Chios, Lesbos, Kalymnos or Leros. But local authorities on the islands previously struggled to accommodate the migrants and facilitate their passage. Many had no other option than to camp out in public spaces, without access to medical and sanitary facilities. Reuters notes that Syrians have received priority access to the ferry over people arriving from other countries because they are considered refugees. The Eleftherios Venizelos made its first journey in its new capacity on Aug. 19, departing from the island of Kos with 1,700 passengers. It stopped at the islands of Kalymnos and Leros where it picked up almost 1,000 more. Since then, the ship has made the journey nearly every day filled to capacity. Upon arriving in Athens, most of the refugees immediately leave for the border, hoping to make their way through Serbia into Western Europe. Those who wish to stay, however, can find temporary shelter in a newly built reception center in the Athens neighborhood of Eleonas. To help Greece cope with the surging number of arrivals, the European Commission plans to immediately unlock 2.7 million euros ($3 million) to support efforts by the U.N. to handle the emergency in the country.
