Plane Debris is from Missing MH370

Malaysian PM confirms MH370 link, 70th anniversary of Hiroshima bombing, Migrants rescue.

The Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak says part of the aircraft wing found last week on Reunion Island has been "conclusively confirmed" as being from the missing MH370 airliner. The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.

Japan has observed a minute's silence to mark the 70th anniversary of the atomic attack on the city of Hiroshima. The first atomic attack in history instantly claimed the lives of 70,000 people, while a similar number later died from radiation exposure. And, we hear from those involved in rescue efforts in the Mediterranean, where a boat carrying some 600 migrants capsized off the coast of Libya.
