Report by Genelle Aldred
The search area for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been shifted after a 'new credible lead', the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) has said.
New data indicated that the plane was travelling faster than first thought and so burned more fuel, reducing the possible distance it travelled south over the Indian Ocean.
As a result the search has moved to an area 684 miles to the north east, Amsa said - an area of about 198,000 sq miles and around 1,150 miles west of Perth, Western Australia.
The ocean there is between 2,000m (6,560 feet) and 4,000m (13,120 feet) deep.
