Authorities say 104 people have been rescued but UN says reports suggest up to 400 may have been onboard

Reports suggested hundreds of people had packed on to the fishing boat that capsized and sank early on Wednesday in deep waters about 50 miles (80 km) from the southern coastal town of Pylos while being shadowed by the Greek coastguard.
