Malaysian PM Najib Razak says satellite data showed the plane ended its journey in remote seas west of Australia. It was carrying a total of 239 people, including 153 Chinese nationals. A multinational search effort has focussed on seas some 2,500km (1,500 miles) to the southwest of the Australian city of Perth.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on 8 March as if flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Relatives of those on board have voiced grief and anger, while China has demanded to see the satellite data on which that conclusion was based.
