"We deeply regret that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board have survived..we must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean."
Sombre news this morning on projected path of missing flight MH370: aircraft scouring a zone deep in the Indian Ocean west of Australia have spotted more debris floating in the water.

More news is expected in a briefing tomorrow. In the meantime, the Guardian has a great rundown of recent events.
