"Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak says initial reports on the debris show it was very likeyfrom a Boeing 777 but that is too early to speculate whether it belongs to MH17 untilinvestigators can examine it. One Malaysian team has been sent to where the debris was foundand another to the French city of Toulouse for the inspection. Officials say it may be severaldays before they have any answers."
A top Australian official has told the BBC he's increasingly confident that the wreckage found inReunion is from the missing Malaysian airliner. Martin Donald heads the Australian TransportSafety Bureau which is leading the search for the plane in the Eastern Indian Ocean.

"The analysis that we've done with the satellite data is highly reliable, and the search vessels,equipment and cruise we have had on the Indian Ocean, covering the area very throughoutlyalso are of high quality highly reliable. So we think we are looking into right place to a highdegree of certainty and we are confident that we have the quality research to cover that areaand find the missing aricraft."

Scientists in United States and South Korea have developed a tiny robot similar to an insectthat's fitted with a spring and can jump on water. They hope the device will be used to developnew ways of monitoring pollution in waterways. Victoria G reports.
"Jumping, flying and hovering insects are a source of huge inspiration for Bio-roboticists. Thisteam discovered how one particular insect, the water strider, managed to spring up from aquartic surface. The team found that the insects pushed off with a downward force thatexceeded the surface tension. That's the force that glues the water surface moleculestogether. To mimic this, they designed their robot with a spring built into its waver thin V-shaped body. When it jumps, the spring releases and the insects-like legs are pusheddownward, propelling it from the surface of the water."
