The search for the missing Malaysian airliner on flight MH370 is continuing in the southern Indian Ocean for a second day.

Bad weather hampered searches yesterday, which began after satellite images showed two objects possibly related to the plane which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.

Five military and civilian aircraft and a merchant ship are taking part in the search for debris in this latest lead.

They are searching an area around 1,550 miles south-west of Perth.

Previous reports of debris in other locations have proved not to be linked to the missing plane.
