comprising of agencies with expertise in satellite communication and aircraft performance to take this work forward. the new analysis i have described was convincing enough for the aaib to brief the prime minister that mh-370 flew along the southern corridor and that its last position was in the middle of the indian ocean, west of perth. within a few hours, the families had been informed and the prime minister announced a new development to the world. as the prime minister stated, this type of analysis has never been done in any investigation of this sort. there remains more work to be done and we are grateful to inmarsat, aaib and the international investigation team who are continuing to work with the malaysian authorities. this is a developing situation,
comparison until we find the aircraft. and this is where i like to stress, our focus must be to find the aircraft, and hopefully, the black box, because that will help us look further ahead and what sort of cooperation that we need, especially on the air france crash, which took some time to recover and get more details of. yes, please. limit to one, please. [ inaudible question ] like i said, that is crucial, because i ll be the one, the most happiest person, if we can actually confirm that that is
take that extra step and actually annex the territory. the craukrainians said there ar formulas to talk about in terms of autonomy for the region to address russian concerns. so, that s what secretary kerry s going to be trying to negotiating with minister lavrov about, how russia can address its interests and concerns in crimea without actually officially annexing the territory. right now he s meeting with prime minister david cameron at 10 downing street elise, let me jump in here. i m sorry to interrupt you diplomacy involved, but i m sorry to interrupt you, elise. we ll come back to you. we want to take our viewers live to a press conference in malaysia. you ve got the minister of transportation speaking, the director of general civil aviation along with others, the ceo of malaysian airlines. let s listen in. aircraft in the search. 13 countries are now involved. our priority remains finding the plane. we are following all leads and we continue to work closely with
the search, but this is not a normal investigation. in this case, the information we have to process further and further afield. engine data. yesterday, we rejected a media report in which unnamed officials said that engine data showed the plane had kept flying for hours after last contact. we checked with boeing and rolls royce, who said the reports were not true. and i quote this is a statement from rolls royce rolls royce continues to provide report to the authorities and malaysian airlines. rolls royce concurs with the statement made on thursday, the 13th of march, by the malaysian s transport minister regarding engine health monitoring data received from the aircraft. yesterday, authorities cited two oil slicks in the south china sea, 16 nautical miles south of
the satellite receipt, after it lost contact with control center the satellite does not receive any distress signal from the aircraft, no. the ping? electronic pings. electronic pings. pings. pings. what the u.s. team are doing, they tried their best to get whatever sources from their satellite system to come up with a possibility, as i mentioned just now, possibility of where the aircraft should be. as i indicated yesterday, we are now sharing information we had normally shared because of national security with agencies that could assist us.
