Debris found in search for missing plane

Tuesday, 2 June 2009

The Brazilian Air Force is believed to have found debris in the Atlantic Ocean as part of the ongoing search for the Air France plane that disappeared yesterday morning.

The debris, which includes plane seats, has reportedly been discovered around 400 miles north-east of Brazil.

Ships are now being sent to the area to recover the items and examine if they are part of the missing jet.

The Air France flight disappeared from radar screens while travelling from Rio de Janeiro to Paris with 228 people on board.

The Belfast hotel where you check in but never leave

Wars never end. Not if you're fighting in them, even reporting them.

Don't let sisters stop you looking for love, Cheryl

What's wrong with wanting a man? I ask because lately I've lost count of the miserable, lonely female celebrities being told by other women that they should stay single.

Seeing is believing when it comes to the justice system

A Bill in the Queen’s Speech will, hopefully, speed up the process of letting some more sunlight into Northern Ireland’s rather musty justice system.

So that's why their pupils were glazed in Play School

Odd period, the 1970s. I've tended to deride them as grim, which they certainly were, but I appreciate now the music and, er, that's about it. They weren't particularly happy years in Northern Ireland.

Tragedy is opportunity for conflict resolution envoys

The Good Friday Agreement is a cure for which there is no known illness. Nowhere in its 11,000 words does it identify the problem which it purports to solve.
