'Objects' spotted in plane hunt

France says it has picked up satellite images of objects in a remote patch of the southern Indian Ocean as the search resumed today for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.

The images show “potential objects in the vicinity of the southern corridor,” Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport said in a statement. That is thought to be close to areas of the Indian Ocean where previous satellite images released by Australia and China showed objects that could be debris from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which went missing over the Gulf of Thailand on March 8 with 239 people on board.
