Search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370:
6102014New phase gets underway
A new phase of the multi-million dollar search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 began on Monday, after a vessel fitted with specialist underwater equipment reached the zone last night. The underwater search for the Boeing 777 which vanished on March 8, began in an area about 1 thousand 800 kilometres off Australia’s west coast.
Australian Transport Safety Bureau, ATSB, has said that the Malaysian-contracted GO Phoenix vessel has begun scanning the ocean floor for the plane. The vessel began to scour the ocean floor with sonar and video. The device is said to have the ability to identify traces of jet fuel.
Searchers are hoping to answer what has become one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. The search operation, described by Australian officials as the largest in history, has so far turned up no debris from the plane.

Latvia’s ruling centre-right coalition parties wins election
6102014Oct 6,
Latvia’s ruling centre-right coalition parties have won a clear majority in the country’s parliamentary election, despite a pro-Russian party coming top. There is great concern in Latvia about Russia’s intervention in Ukraine and its influence in the Baltic region. The coalition parties won at least 61 seats in the 100-seat parliament. Harmony, a party allied with the Kremlin party United Russia, got 24. Ethnic Russians, about a quarter of the population mostly backed Harmony. The former Soviet republic, like its Baltic neighbours Estonia and Lithuania, is a member of both the EU and Nato.
