MH370: Missing Malaysia Airlines flight 'will be found'

Malaysia's transport minister says he is confident
the missing MH370 airliner will be found in the
Indian Ocean.
Liow Tiong Lai said the Malaysian authorities were
not concealing any information about the flight.
He told the BBC they would keep searching for the
aircraft, which disappeared with 239 people on
board.
Malaysia's civil aviation department is due to
release an interim report on Sunday, one year after
the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 airliner was lost.
It vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Australia is leading an international search team in
the southern Indian Ocean, approximately 1,600km
(1,000 miles) off its west coast.
Search vessels are focused on a 60,000sq km
priority zone.
The search's A$120m (£61m; US$93m) budget is
being jointly put up by Australia and Malaysia.
Australia, Indonesia and Malaysia announced
earlier this week they would try out a new method
of tracking long-haul flights in the wake of the
disappearance.
The trial system enables planes to be tracked
every 15 minutes, an increase on the current 30 to
40 minutes.
