The search for MH370 continues. And now with the Prime Minister’s announcement on Monday night, all efforts are now focused in the southern Indian Ocean.

There is a multi-national team on scene there, combing the waters trying to find debris from the flight.

Commander William Marks, the spokesman for the U.S. Seventh Fleet speaks to Melisa Idris, from on-board a command ship, to give us a better idea of what this search and recovery effort entails.

The US Navy's Towed Pinger Locator has also arrived in Perth Australia, to assist in the search for the MH370 black box. He tells us what it is capable of, as well as a run-down on the current scale of the US navy’s contribution to the search and recovery operations.
