A Dutch contractor will conduct the underwater search for Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, which is believed to have crashed somewhere in the ocean west of Australia some five months ago.  239 people were on board including six Australians.  The Fugro Survey company will use two vessels towing underwater vehicles equipped with side-scan sonar, multi-beam echo sounders and video equipment.  A$52 Million is being budgeted for the search, which could take up to a year.

Russian-backed rebels are once again blocking access to the crash site of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine.  Australian UN ambassador Gary Quinlan told a special meeting of the Security Council that the interference is “hampering the investigation and recovery of remains and personal effects”.  Russia called the special session to complain about Ukraine refusing to allow Moscow’s “humanitarian teams” into the country, where government troops are slowly pushing back against the pro-Moscow separatists.

A captured Abu Sayyaf commander says the Philippine terrorist group is in disarray, without leadership, and torn by infighting.  Members are broken into small groups who commit kidnappings or extortion activities in order to raise daily operating expenses.  The account is in line with Philippine police assessments of the Islamist group having been severely degraded by a decade of US-backed raids by Philippine forces.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in central Hiroshima to mark 69 years since the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city.  Mayor Kazumi Matsui called on world leaders to visit the city to see the scars of the atomic bombing first hand.  He also urged Japan to continue its course as a nation of peace, which wasn’t a direct reference to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s drive to recast Japan as a player in international military missions.  But Matsui said the pacifist constitution is what has kept Japan out of war for 69 years.

China reports the death toll from the Yunnan province earthquake is now 600.  A magnitude 6.1 temblor struck on Sunday morning, causing landslides and collapsing old brick and wood homes.  Several roads are still blocked, preventing the People’s Army from getting out into all of the remote area where citizens might be in trouble.

The leader of the Argentine group that searches for the stolen children of people killed by the fascist dictatorship that ruled from 1975-1983 has found her own grandchild.  Estela de Carlotto’s grandson was the 114th person found by “Grandmothers of the Square”.  De Carlotta says she didn’t even know her daughter was pregnant when she was snatched and murdered by the fascists, and only found out about it much later from a fellow prisoner.  Her grandson had doubts about his origins, and came to the group asking for a DNA test.  Argentina’s government rounded up and killed Leftists and other perceived political opponents, and gave their children to right-wing sympathizers to raise as their own.

Egypt is starting a US$4 Billion dollar project to dig a parallel channel to the existing Suez Canal, and deepen he existing canal.  The idea is to speed up the transfer of container ships from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and more ships paying canal fees means more money for the government of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who plans to supervise much of the project himself.
