Daily News… STORMS GROUND MH370 AIR SEARCH AFTER NEW DEBRIS SIGHTING Thunderstorms and gale-force winds grounded the international air search for wreckage from Flight MH370 on Thursday, frustrating the effort again as Thailand reported a satellite sighting of hundreds of floating objects. The Thai report was the second in two days suggesting a possible debris field from the crashed jet in the stormy southern Indian Ocean. But a major air and sea search has frustratingly failed so far to secure any wreckage confirmed to have come from the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane which went missing on March 8 with 239 people on board. Planes and ships have faced fierce winds and sometimes mountainous seas as they hunt for hard evidence that the plane crashed, as Malaysia has concluded. On Tuesday the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) called off both the air and sea search. The agency on Thursday suspended the air search because of worsening weather after it had got under way, but said ships would try to continue. «Bad weather expected for next 24 hours,» it tweeted. Thailand’s Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency said it had satellite images taken on Monday of 300 objects, ranging in size from two to 15 metres (6.5 to 50 feet). It said they were scattered over an area about 2,700 kilometres (1,680 miles) southwest of Perth, but could not confirm they were plane debris. The agency said the objects were spotted about 200 kilometres away from an area where French satellite images earlier showed objects. Malaysia said late Wednesday that the French images taken Sunday showed 122 floating objects including some as long as 23 metres. The Boeing 777 is presumed to have crashed after mysteriously diverting from its Kuala Lumpur-Beijing path and apparently flying for hours in the opposite direction.

International News… CHINESE ‘TRANSFORMERS’ A group of farmers have brought to life the «Transformers» films, toys and TV series and built giant robots out of old car parts, in rural China. The original toys, which were a huge hit with children in the 1980s, could be turned from cars into robots and back again. Their popularity spawned a hit television show, and more recently, the movie franchise. In Shandong province, they have inspired a range of towering creations, including some in the red and blue colours of Optimus Prime. With some the makers have exercised more creative licence, adding their own designs.
SERIOUS DIPLOMATIC TROUBLES An embarrassed French minister has apologised to the head chef at the Elysee Palace after she was caught on camera describing the food at a China-France state dinner as «revolting». Trade Minister Nicole Bricq was caught out after saying the meal served to Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the state banquet on Wednesday night was not up to scratch, unaware that microphones were picking up her comments. «At the Elysee, it wasn’t (up to scratch) at all... it was revolting. It has to be said,» she was heard saying in a video clip posted online by BFMTV.
