A man looks at a billboard in commemoration of flight MH370 at the Metro Park Lido Hotel in Beijing on March 30, 2014Perth (Australia) (AFP) - An Australian ship carrying equipment to locate the "black box" from flight MH370 was to put to sea Monday but experts warned surface debris must be found first to narrow down the search zone. The hunt for physical evidence that the Malaysia Airlines jet carrying 239 people crashed more than three weeks ago, as Kuala Lumpur has declared, has so far proved fruitless despite a massive operation involving seven countries. More objects were seen by aircraft on Sunday with several items retrieved by Australia's HMAS Success and China's Haixun 01, but the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said: "Nothing has yet been verified as being from MH370." The growing search resumed Monday across a sweeping expanse of the southern Indian Ocean the size of Norway, with 10 planes taking to the skies from Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, Malaysia, South Korea and the US.

Posted: 30 Mar 2014 01:27 PM PDT

FILE - In this Thursday, Feb. 13, 2014 file photo, Egypt's military chief Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi smiles as he speaks to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during their talks along with Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmy and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in Moscow, Russia. Former military chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, if he wins Egypt's presidency as is widely expected, will have an overwhelming presence over a shattered political scene.

But the political vacuum is hardly a stable one. The Brotherhood is betting that with time the public will turn against el-Sissi.
