Sixteen people died after a boat sank overnight in a lake near the Albanian capital Tirana.

A walk down the streets of the Albanian capital is like entering the pages of a child's colouring book.

THE Albanian capital began to resemble a war zone yesterday as gunmen appeared on street corners and anarchy engulfed the city.
