This is BBC World News. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is lost. | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
Presumed it ditched in the Southern Indian Ocean. Relatives are told | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
there is no hope as the Malaysia and Prime Minister announces the flight | :00:22. | :00:22. | |
's last known position as many hours from land. | :00:23. | :00:31. | |
It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you | :00:32. | :00:44. | |
that according to this new data, the live image, it ended in the Southern | :00:45. | :00:56. | |
Indian Ocean -- one ended. We have the track on the British | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
firm that got the most definitive reading of the location. Over 100 | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
people are now missing after a massive mudslide in the United | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
States. And protests in Egypt as it caught | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
sentences more than 500 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood to death. | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
Hello and welcome. Waiting families were told by text message that it | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
has to be assumed "beyond reasonable doubt" that the Malaysia Airlines | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
flight which took off 16 days ago and vanished is lost. An | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
international search is still scouring the waters far south-west | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
of Perth, Australia, where it is believed the aircraft went down. We | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
have more on the search for evidence, and on the data that | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
finally led investigators to this conclusion. But first, Alistair | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Leithead reports from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
It was a moment the world was expecting, but the families of those | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
on board Flight MH370 were hoping would never come. The Malaysia Prime | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
Minister 's announcement was based on new information from the British | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
communications company at the heart of this investigation. The UK | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
company that provided the satellite data using a type of analysis never | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to | :02:31. | :02:38. | |
shed more light on Flight MH370 's Pap. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
Inmarsat Jese data sent from the plane to the satellite to establish | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
corridors of light could have troubled -- sense data. They used | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
computer modelling to discount the northern corridor so the plane 's | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
last signal must have come from here in the Southern Indian Ocean. This | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
is a remote location. Far from any possible landing sites. It is | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that | :03:13. | :03:25. | |
according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the Southern Indian | :03:26. | :03:35. | |
Ocean. This was the reaction in Beijing | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
when the families heard the terrible news. | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
Anger replaced this sudden and brutal loss of hope. The Malaysians | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
are talking nonsense, shouts this man, until the wreckage is found, | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
the truth will be hard to accept. Chinese aircraft joined the search | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
for wreckage today, 1,500 miles off the coast of Western Australia. They | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
photographed unidentified floating objects, as did an Australian | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
aircraft crew. Ships are also on the way to the search area. This is just | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
the first step in trying to solve one of the world 's great aviation | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
mysteries, a wreckage linked to the flight has not been positively | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
identified so the search must go on for remains of the plane, its | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
black-box, flight recorder, to piece together the last hours of the | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
passion Joe -- the passengers and crew on board. Why it went down | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
thousands of miles off-course deep in the Southern Indian Ocean may | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
never be known. Well, the Malaysian Prime Minister's | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
announcement followed new analysis by experts at the UK's Air Accidents | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
Investigation Branch and by Inmarsat, that is the British | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
company which provided the satellite data. Our transport correspondent, | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
Richard Westcott, has been talking to the team behind the breakthrough. | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
This is the room where they would have been receiving the data from | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
Flight MH370 and this is where they have put together a new analysis to | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
confirm the aircraft definitely flew South and is definitely somewhere | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
down here. How have you finally concluded it | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
flew South? We took aircraft data, and modelled that and put that | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
against the northern and Southern parts and what we discovered was | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
that the path to the South is undoubtedly the one taken. Why has | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
it taken so long? We have been dealing with a totally new area. We | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
have been trying to help an investigation based on a signal | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
signal once an hour from an aircraft without GPS data, any time and | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
distance information. This was a bit of a shot in the dark and it is to | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
the credit of our scientific team that they could model this. Are you | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
happy with the way the Malaysians have processed this data? The | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
emphasis must have been on cutting back the data they were getting, I | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
would have been dealing with neighbours they might not get on | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
with, they would have been trying to get through a series of data to | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
eliminate so it is hard to criticise them. It will frighten people that | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
an aircraft can just disappear. Is there anything to stop it happening | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
in the future? If you look at ships at sea, long-range tracking and | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
identification is a requirement as part of safety arrangements. | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
Aircraft could have their positions reported now with existing | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
technology, it would cost less than $1 an hour. | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
The search for the wreckage of Flight MH370 is continuing, and | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
continuing to focus on a stretch of the Southern Indian Ocean. An | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Australian naval ship has been looking for four objects in the sea | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
which were spotted by a surveillance aircraft. Jon Donnison has been | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
following the search from the centre of the operation, the Australian | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
city of Perth. The five days, the vast Southern | :07:04. | :07:17. | |
Indian Ocean has yielded few clues. Today, that changed. An Australian | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
search plane fired flares to mark the spot after four pieces of | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
possible debris from the missing Malaysians get was spotted. -- jet. | :07:28. | :07:37. | |
They tracked shift in position caused by the objects. -- ships. It | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
was rectangular, slightly below the ocean. The second object was | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
circular and slightly below the ocean, we came across a cylindrical | :07:47. | :07:54. | |
object, and a couple of items in the area. It was also cylindrical in | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
shape. Dozens of flights this week have spotted virtually nothing. But | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
today, a Chinese plane also reported seeing suspicious objects among the | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
waves. But from the Australian Prime Minister, a word of caution. Planes | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
and ships continue to search the area for any sign of the missing | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
aircraft. I caution again that we do not know whether any of these | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
objects from Flight MH370. An Australian Navy ship is one of | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
several vessels trying to find that out. It could then take days to | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
transport anything they do find the 1,500 miles back to dry land. And | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
unless the plane 's crucial lockbox is found, we may know what happened | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
but we will not know why -- black box. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
David Gleave is an aviation safety investigator from Loughborough | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
University. He joins us from Leicester, in the English Midlands. | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
Still, a very difficult search for any evidence, what does the priority | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
have to be? The priority has to be to call for as many naval assets as | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
we can get hold of and search and rescue aeroplanes to carry out the | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
search, to try to identify anything on the surface. And also, to start | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
the subsea search, to see if we can hear the units which are | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
broadcasting radio signals from the black-box. Provided they have not | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
been interfered with and they work, we could detect them for about the | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
next three weeks. What it is a bust area to search for. After three | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
weeks, that signal fades? And presumably, it you have the issue of | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
currents carrying debris further from the stretch of water? -- you | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
have. Yes, but most of the aircraft if it | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
is in the Southern Indian Ocean will have sunk, then it will be settled | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
on the ocean floor. It will be sufficiently dense and it should not | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
move too far, but there could be ocean currents on the surface that | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
build-up silt. It is probably reasonably stable, the area, but | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
anything that is floating that we find would be very useful. But it is | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
now a long way from where the aircraft wreckage would be and we | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
need to rely on the oceanographers to give an indication as to where | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
the aircraft could be, but that search pattern gets wider every day. | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Do you think we will ever know why the plane went down? There are | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
several credible theories still around. If we get hold of the | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
black-box, Ben Maher been deliberate interference with those on board, | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
they should have survived reasonably well -- there may have been. The | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
question is whether it has been interfered with. We may need to get | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
a cockpit section back to see who was on the flight deck. What theory | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
has seemed most edible so far? Statistically, that aircraft would | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
appear to have been taken deliberately. -- credible. Given | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
that we have no political or religious claims for any form of | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
terrorism, we are starting to look towards intentional taking the | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
aeroplane and crashing it for some form of personal financial reason is | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
the most likely explanation. Statistically, that is the most | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
likely cause at this moment. From the limited evidence we have, you | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
think it is unlikely something catastrophic happens suddenly, | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
taking everyone by surprise? -- happened. It is relatively | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
unlikely, the aeroplane disappeared at the point of maximum confusion | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
when you are handing over between two traffic control centres, it is | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
tracked between Malaysia and Thailand, splitting the border, and | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
the wine of maximum confusion. And to head intentionally into the | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
Indian Ocean, there would be no reason for the navigation system to | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
disappear into that direction so it looks as if the aircraft has, from | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
somebody on board and we do not know who, anybody could be trained given | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
sufficient time and with the right technical team behind them, the | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
aircraft appears to have been crashed a long way from Australia. | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
In order to hide the wreckage or make it as difficult as possible to | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
find. There appears to be a degree of likelihood it has been done | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
intentionally rather than on intentionally, mechanical failure | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
for example. Thank you for your insight. | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
Eight people are confirmed dead and 108 are still missing after a huge | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
mudslide on Saturday in the north-western US state of | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
Washington. Eyewitnesses have spoken about a massive wall of mud sweeping | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
near the town of Oso, about 55 miles North of Seattle, and leaving behind | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
a square mile of "total devastation". Akiko Fujita, from our | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
colleagues at ABC News, sent this report from rescue headquarters in | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
nearby Arlington. Another day of searching, no signs | :13:17. | :13:31. | |
of life, rescue crews coming through mud 15 feet deep and neighbourhoods | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
flattened. There may be people in cars and on houses, we are trying to | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
track that down the best we can. Half a mountain slid through this | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
community, a full square mile, enough to cover 484 fields. Shaun | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
Wright ran towards the screens to find a baby and mother buried under | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
their home, he used chainsaws to get out alive. You could not tell | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
anything, it was debris. With no rain expected today, crews are | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
scrambling to find survivors, searching from the air, braving | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
quicksand on the ground. Heavy rainfall is expected later in the | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
week, the hope for any light is dimming with every hour. We hope | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
every hour they find people alive and cant get them to help. This is | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
after the wettest march in years, more than seven inches of rain fell, | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
twice the average, and there is more expected tomorrow. | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
A court in Egypt has sentenced to death 528 supporters of ousted | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in a case which only began two days ago | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
and which centred on the killing of a single police officer. The Muslim | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Brotherhood's spokesman in London told the BBC the sentences show that | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
Egypt is now a dictatorship. It's expected the defendants will appeal. | :14:56. | :15:07. | |
Here in Carol, there has been an angry reaction from human rights | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
campaigners. One said of the judiciary has become a tool for | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
taking revenge. Another said the verdict was a scandal and a disaster | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
for Egypt. In the southern province outside the courthouse, some | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
relatives were screaming and shouting after the verdict, | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
protesting against the decision. One said the judge had not listened to | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
the lawyers, the accused or the witnesses before reaching a verdict. | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
A spokesman for the band Muslim Brotherhood said the ruling had come | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
from a kangaroo court. We are expecting an appeal in this case and | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
several legal experts are addicting a retrial. This was a case involving | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
the death of one police officer and more than 520 defendants were | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
sentenced to death at breathtaking speed. The case opened on Saturday | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
and at first hearing was quickly adjourned and the verdict came today | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
in what was only the second session of the case. The judgement has been | :16:05. | :16:18. | |
passed and the sentences can be rejected or accepted. While death | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
sentences have been handed down regularly in Egypt, in recent years, | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
few have been carried out. We are expecting another hearing tomorrow, | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
another mass trial of a large group of Brotherhood defendants and are | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
expected in the dark, facing charges. | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
I'm joined now by a webcam from Cairo by Dr Hisham Hellyer. He is an | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
associate fellow of the Royal United Services Institute. How unusual is | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
it to hand out so many death sentences so quickly? It is | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
incredibly unusual, there is no precedent in this in any judiciary | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
around the world. The fact that so many people were on trial at the | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
same time, the fact that the case went through so quickly, the fact | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
that so many of them were not even in the court, let alone having their | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
lawyers listening will stop many will appeal but I want it to you, | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
one could from a human rights group that accused the judges of handing | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
down political revenge. Is that fair? It could very well be. We will | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
have two wait and see what will happen with the next hearing. There | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
will be an appeal, that is scheduled for the end of April. I am cautious | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
about talking about political motivations for the case and the | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
verdict. It implies there is some singular line whereas in reality, | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
what we have seen over the last couple of months is that | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
institutions within the state are not as organised as that. I am sure | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
there are parts of the state that would prefer not to see these sorts | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
of cases go forward and others that are happy to drum the war drums in | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
the context of this war on terror. The statement not be acting with one | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
voice but three years on from the overthrow of President Mubarak, do | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
you have the sense of political ties in Egypt coming full circle? Full | :18:28. | :18:34. | |
circle may be simplistic in that you do have forces that are linked to | :18:35. | :18:43. | |
the former regime in certain parts of the state. New forces ticking | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
over instead. This is not as simple or correct to say the regime has | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
been reinvented. There is something new that has been fought. It is not | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
quite the same and you will see different calculation is over the | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
coming months and different fighter taking place between different parts | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
of that new regime as it begins to form but it is a different regime. | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
Tell us about the reaction within Egypt to these 528 death sentences | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
being passed down. A lot of talk? Not that much talk, to be honest. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
You do see the human rights organisations coming out against it | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
and rightly so on the basis of everything that has happened. The | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
public reaction thus far has not been as strong as people might | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
think, keeping in mind that at the moment, there is this presentation | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
of a war on terror throughout the media in Egypt and many people do | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
believe that and as a result, they are willing to allow the state to | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
get away with quite a lot in pursuance of that goal of defeating | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
terrorism. . Ukraine has ordered the withdrawal | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
of its forces from Crimea after the third attack on a military base by | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Russian troops in 48 hours, although it appears many of those forces may | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
have defected already. As for the international response, leaders of | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
what is now the G-7 group of industrialised nations are meeting | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
in the Netherlands. President Obama has said Europe and the US are | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
united in imposing a cost for Russia's actions. | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
In the Crimea, every Ukrainian military base is now under Russian | :20:35. | :20:40. | |
control. Many of the Ukrainian soldiers without their uniforms are | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
being pulled out of the region took an resistance has ended. In Moscow, | :20:44. | :20:53. | |
in the parliament, the flags of Crimea and Sebastopol were added to | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
the flags of Russiapos-mac regions. Images intended to demonstrate that | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
from the Russian perspective, Crimeapos-mac future has been | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
settled. In the Netherlands, President Obama arrived for a summit | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
on nuclear security but it was completely overshadowed by the | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
crisis in Ukraine. The American president who was shown in restored | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
museum for Dutch Masters was determined to keep pressure on | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Russia and the signal it could not expect a place at the worldpos-mac | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
top table for the time being. Europe and America are united in our | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
support of the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people. We are | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
united in imposing a cost on Russia for its actions so far. As the | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
motorcade swept into the Hague, President Putin was not among them. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
The leaders of the worlds most powerful economies, the G8, were | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
said to discuss what to do Russia. It is now time to exclude Russia | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
from the G8 and make it a G7? There is not going to be a G8 summit this | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
year in Russia, that is absolutely clear. We will meet tonight, the | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
seven other countries, to determine the way forward but frankly, it is | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Russia that needs to change course. The White House indicated that | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
Russia would not be formally kicked out of the grip of it. More a cold | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
shoulder. The President Obama a thriving here, the primary -- the | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
priority is to demonstrate how isolated Russia is within the | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
international community and also to try and show that the United States | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
and Europe are united when it comes to dealing with Russia over the | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
crisis in Ukraine. On the sidelines of this meeting there was one more | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
positive sign, there are reports the Russian foreign minister is expected | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
to meet his Ukrainian counterpart for the first time. | :22:51. | :22:58. | |
The French Prime Minister has urged voters to back whichever candidate | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
is best placed to beat the far right front National in the second round | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
of Francepos-mac Ochil elections on Sunday. The party led by Marine Le | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
Penn said better-than-expected in the first round, winning an outright | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
majority in the northern former coal-mining town of Helen Beaumont. | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
It led the polls in some southern cities as well. | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
The jury at the Oscar Pistorius murder trial has been told about | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
text messages exchanged between the athlete and his girlfriend Reeva | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Steenkamp. In one message she tells him, I am scared of you sometimes. | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
Oscar Pistorius admits shooting Ms Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
year but says he mistook her for an intruder. | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
A bruising day ahead for Oscar Pistorius, the athletepos-mac | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
relationship with Reeva Steenkamp under scrutiny for the first time. | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
Prosecution revealing evidence from a couple mobile phones. In | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
particular, a series of bitter text messages. I know you are not happy | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
and I am very sad. In public, they were South Africapos-mac new | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
glamorous couple but today we heard evidence of public fights and | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
private tears in the weeks before Reeva Steenkamppos-mac death. I do | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
everything to make you happy, she wrote. | :24:26. | :24:40. | |
Oscar Pistorius appeared to weep and there was worse to come. Reeva | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
Steenkamp saying she felt threatened. I am scared by you | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
sometimes and how you will react to me. The police expert acknowledged | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
that 90% of the messages between the couple were nothing but the damage | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
had already been done. In court today, Oscar Pistorius was revealed | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
as a jealous and at times domineering boyfriend. That does not | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
prove he killed Reeva Steenkamp deliberately but the athlete has his | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
work cut out as he prepares to take to the witness stand himself perhaps | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
later this week. Malaysia's Prime Minister, Najib | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
Razak, says the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 crashed in the | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
southern Indian Ocean. Mr Razak said satellite data showed the aircraft | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
had ended its journey in the remote seas west of Australia, far from any | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
possible landing site. He appealed to the media to respect the privacy | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
of the families of the 239 passengers and crew. Most of the | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
people on board were Chinese. Officials in Beijing have demanded | :25:49. | :25:50. | |
Malaysia provide all evidence and information about the incident. The | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
plane vanished from radar screens more than two weeks ago. A fleet of | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
ships and aircraft are investigating a flurry of sightings of possible | :26:02. | :26:15. | |
wreckage. If you are following this story, you | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
