Taarifa mpya ya leo kuhusu ndege ya Malaysia MH 370,Picha za satelite zimeonesha vipande 122 Kusini mwa bahari ya Hindi ,kila kipande kikiwa na ukubwa wa kuanzia Mita 1 hadi 23, na vimeonekana vikiwa umbali wa Maili 1,500.pwani ya eneo la Perth,Australia Magharib,vipande hivyo vinahisiwa kua ni vipande vya ndege ya MH 370
A satellite has spotted 122 'potential objects' in the southern Indian Ocean in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
The objects measured between one metre and 23 metres in length and were identified about 1,500 miles off the coast of Perth in western Australia.
Some appeared to be bright, according to Malaysian officials.
The items were captured in satellite images from French company Airbus which were taken on Sunday March 23.
The race is now on to find the debris field, which if it turns out to be parts of the missing jet, could be used to "back-track" and help locate the point of impact.
This will be critical to finding the black box data recorders, which could hold vital clues to what happened aboard the Boeing 777.
Theories range from hijacking to sabotage or a possible suicide by one of the pilots, but investigators have not ruled out technical problems.
The search, which had to be suspended on Tuesday due to bad weather, continues amid heavy criticism of Malaysia and the airline from the relatives of the people on the flight.
Dozens of angry Chinese people clashed with police in a protest outside Malaysia's Embassy in Beijing. Most of the passengers were Chinese.
Mr Hishammuddin said he understood the feelings of those relatives, but pointed out Malaysian nationals had also been lost.

| New satellite images continue to provide clues in the hunt for MH370 |
Malaysian investigators received the pictures on Tuesday and after analysing them, they identified 122 possible objects in an area measuring around 155 square miles.
The findings were then forwarded to the Australian search command centre.
At the moment, it is not known if the objects were connected to missing flight MH370, which disappeared more than two weeks ago on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
It means there have now been four separate satellite leads from Australia, China, and France, showing possible debris.
The search area has now been split into two - west and east - covering around 50,000 square miles, which is the size of England.

Twelve planes from Australia, the US, New Zealand, China, Japan and South Korea, were joined by two ships in scouring the area.
Malaysia's acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference: "Our determination to find MH370 remains steadfast.
"As we have said all along, we will never give up trying to find the plane - in order to bring closure for the families, and to establish exactly what happened to MH370."

He also announced an international working group was being set up aimed at refining the data provided by the UK satellite firm Inmarsat, which helped narrow the search for MH370, with a view to more accurately pinpoint the final position of the plane.
Earlier, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said: "We are throwing everything we have at this search. We are just going to keep on looking because we owe it to people to do everything we can to resolve this riddle.
"This is about the most inaccessible spot imaginable. It's thousands of kilometres from anywhere."
The race is now on to find the debris field, which if it turns out to be parts of the missing jet, could be used to "back-track" and help locate the point of impact.
