Good evening, I'm Leah, with your last update on Thursday. | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
First to a story that has made headlines all over the world: a | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Malaysia Airlines plane that has been missing for almost two weeks. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Search teams have been looking for the aircraft after it lost contact. | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Since then, there has been no trace of the plane, leaving investigators | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
really confused, because it is so rare for something like this to | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
happen. But now experts are checking out pictures of what they think | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
could be wreckage in the sea near Australia. These satellite images | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
show what investigators think could be parts of the missing plane. The | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
grainy images were taken several days ago over the southern Indian | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
Ocean. It is thought this could be the first major breakthrough in the | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
search for the plane so far. There has been a huge search for the | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Malaysia Airlines plane, and 26 countries are now involved in the | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
search, including the UK. Here's what we know so far. Flight MH370 | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
took off from Kuala Lumpur on the 8th of March and not long afterwards | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
it stopped all communication. When the plane didn't arrive in Beijing, | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
teams from nearby countries started to search areas around Malaysia. But | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
then, as the days went on, the search got a lot bigger, but still | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
nothing came up. Some people criticised the way the Malaysian | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
authorities were handling the investigation. But now Australian | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
officials think they have found something, about 1,500 miles off the | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
coast of western Australia. There are two objects in the pictures. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
It's far from clear what they are. One is 24 metres across. The other | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
one is smaller than that. They haven't been able to pick up any | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
markings on it. But they are saying it could be part of the plane. | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
That's why they've deployed a number of surveillance planes in the area, | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
and also some of their ships, as well. We're still waiting to find | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
out for sure if this is a part of the missing plane. It's still not | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
clear what happened and why contact was lost. But losing touch with an | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
airline happens so rarely, and that's the reason the world has been | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
gripped by this mystery. And if you're worried or upset about | :02:14. | :02:16. | |

OK, next to a story about a climbing duo, a safety rope and one of the | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
world's biggest caves: American and German climbers Chris and Stefan set | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
out on a mission to climb up this huge cave in Oman in the Middle | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
East. With only a safety rope as their security, it was a risky | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
challenge that had never been attempted before. The pair had some | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
scary moments but managed to reach the top successfully after two | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
weeks. That's all from me, but, Little Mix | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
