Three objects retrieved by a Chinese ship in the search for missing flight MH370 are pieces of floating rubbish, it has emerged. Sources said two ships – on Australian and one Chinese – were able to pick up ‘a number of objects’ during today’s mission. However Australian officials who are coordinating efforts in the South Indian Ocean, around 1,150 miles off the coast of Perth, maintain no items linked to the missing passengers jet have been retrieved from the water. It comes after Chinese aircraft, involved in the hunt for missing flight MH370, spotted three items bearing the colours of the missing plane, as the search zone switched 700 miles north east, 1,150 miles off the coast of Perth.
Defence Minister Hishamuddin Hussin spent time today visiting family members of those missing on board flight MH370
