Let's check on some of the stories making headlines on the global front...
From the discovery of more possible debris from the missing Malaysian airliner... to
the latest report on the rising number of executions in the world,... we go live to
our Paul Yi... at the news center. Paul,... let's start with the new developments
in the search for wreckage from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
It appears... we're now one step closer to finding out what happened to the missing plane.
What's the latest?
Thai satellite images have found 3-hundred floating objects in the southern Indian Ocean,
near the remote area where an international contingent of aircraft and ships had been
searching for pieces of the Boeing triple-7. According to the Geo-Informatics and Space
Technology Development Agency, the objects range from two to fifteen meters in size and
are scattered over an area located about 27-hundred kilometers southwest of Australia.
If confirmed, it would be the largest potential debris field yet spotted by satellites, supporting
earlier French images of the possible crash site.
The director of the agency told AFP that the latest information has been given to Malaysian
authorities, but several days are still needed to process the data.
Aircraft and ships will have to wait on following up on this latest clue as gale-force winds
and severe thunderstorms halted search efforts for wreckage on Thursday.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is widely presumed to have been lost at sea, after mysteriously
diverting from its course on March 8th, with two-hundred-thirty-nine people on board.
