A fresh search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been launched more than a decade after the plane went missing in one of aviation's greatest enduring mysteries.
Maritime exploration firm Ocean Infinity has resumed the hunt for the missing plane, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said on Tuesday.
Loke told reporters contract details between Malaysia and the firm were still being finalised but welcomed "the proactiveness of Ocean Infinity to deploy their ships" to begin the search for the plane, which went missing in March 2014.
Loke said details about how long the search would last had not been negotiated yet.
He also did not provide details about when exactly the British firm restarted its hunt.
The Malaysian government said in December it had agreed to launch a new search for MH370.

Fury beneath the earth
Listen to article History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. — Mark Twain Karachi, a city not traditionally associated with seismic upheavals, has been experiencing mild tremors of around 3.5 on the Richter scale almost daily for over a week now. While these may seem insignificant on the surface, those familiar with seismic history will find the pattern uncomfortably reminiscent of one of South Asia's most tragic natural disasters — the Quetta earthquake of 1935. Before that catastrophic event, Quetta had been experiencing mild tremors for nearly a month. Residents grew used to the gentle daily jolts, much like Karachiites are doing today. But on the night of May 31, 1935, disaster struck. A massive earthquake, measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale, reduced Quetta to rubble in less than a minute. Over 30,000 lives were lost, including many British officers and their families, as well as local citizens. Habib Nullah's one side was razed entirely. The total destruction of Quetta was not entirely caused by a high-intensity earthquake but was greatly exacerbated by the fact that buildings were mostly made of unreinforced adobe and stone, which collapsed instantly during the violent tectonic activity. I doubt Quetta is architecturally prepared to face another significant earthquake along its prominent fault line. This tragedy is more than just history to me — it is personal. My late father, Shujaat Ali Siddiqi, then serving as Deputy Controller Military Accounts in Quetta, witnessed the foreboding tremors. A member of the elite Indian Audit and Accounts Service of undivided India, he had a narrow escape. What a coincidence that he was transferred to Lahore shortly before the fateful night — a twist of luck that possibly saved his life along with his family at the time. The recurrent tremors in Quetta did nothing to give a wake-up call, nor did the lurking danger throw any caution to the wind. But that echo of the past should be seriously heeded. Today, as Karachi experiences eerily similar tremors, it is vital that we don't allow familiarity to dull our caution. Experts must investigate these patterns seriously. Our city planners, civil defence teams and citizens should not dismiss these signs, lest history decide to echo with more force than we are prepared for. Karachi is a city that has mushroomed haphazardly. The longstanding calmness of the sea and earth has contributed to non-compliance with earthquake-resistant structural codes and techniques. The high-rise buildings in the city appear susceptible to collapse when the fury of the sea or earth, God forbid, strikes. Let Karachi not become another Quetta. The past whispers warnings — will we listen? At least keep an eye on birds and animals as they possess a special sense of foreboding such calamities. I recall a befitting sher to describe this phenomenon: Ye ek ishara hai afaat-e-nagahani ka Kisi jagah se parindon ka kooch ker jana

India sets date of population and caste census
NEW DELHI: The world's most populous nation India will conduct a census in 2027, its first since 2011, the government said Wednesday, which will also count caste – a controversial accounting not done since the country's independence. 'It has been decided to conduct Population Census-2027 in two phases along with enumeration of castes,' the Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement. Most of the vast nation will take part in the census on March 1, 2027, but for the high-altitude Himalayan regions, the counting will take place earlier before snow sets in – on October 1, 2026. Those areas include the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, as well as in Ladakh, and the contested region of Jammu and Kashmir. India to ask caste status in next census for first time in decades Caste remains a crucial determinant of one's station in life in India, with a rigid societal chasm dividing those of higher castes – the beneficiaries of ingrained cultural privileges – from people of lower castes, who suffer entrenched discrimination. More than two-thirds of India's 1.4 billion people are estimated to be on the lower rungs of a millennia-old social hierarchy that divides Hindus by function and social standing. The decision to include detailed caste data as part of the next census – originally due in 2021 – was approved by a government meeting headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May. Caste data was last collected as part of the official census exercise in 1931, during British colonial rule that ended with Indian independence 16 years later. Successive governments have since resisted updating the sensitive demographic data, citing administrative complexity and fears of social unrest. A caste survey was conducted in 2011 but its results were never made public because they were purportedly inaccurate. That survey was separate from the 2011 general census, the last time India collected demographic data.

US natgas prices ease on forecasts for less demand, lower flows to LNG export plants
NEW YORK: US natural gas futures eased about 1% on forecasts for less demand and lower flows to liquefied natural gas (LNG) export plants over the next two weeks than previously expected. Gas futures for July delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 4.1 cents, or 1.1%, to $3.653 per million British thermal units. On Monday, the contract closed at its highest since May 9. Next-day prices at the US Henry Hub benchmark in Louisiana were trading around $3 per mmBtu. Low next-day Henry Hub prices have kept pressure on futures in recent weeks with spot contracts trading below front-month futures every day since late April. Analysts have said that so long as spot prices remain far enough below front-month futures to cover margin and storage costs, traders should be able to lock in arbitrage profits by buying spot gas, storing it and selling a futures contract. Another factor keeping pressure on prices, analysts forecast US gas stockpiles - already about 4% above the five-year (2020-2024) average - rose by more than usual for a seventh week in a row during the week ended May 30. In Canada, where wildfires were raging across the country, spot gas prices at the AECO hub in Alberta fell to an eight-month low of just 6.3 cents per mmBtu in a sign that gas was trapped in the nation's biggest gas-producing province. That compares with average AECO prices of $1.41 per mmBtu so far this year, 96 cents in 2024 and $2.28 over the prior five years (2019-2023). Financial firm LSEG said average gas output in the Lower 48 US states fell to 104.0 billion cubic feet per day so far in June, down 105.2 bcfd in May and a monthly record high of 106.3 bcfd in March. On a daily basis, output was on track to drop to a preliminary three-month low of 102.9 bcfd on Tuesday, down from a 104.3 bcfd on Monday and an average of 105.3 bcfd over the prior seven days. Analysts noted preliminary data was often revised later in the day.
