And now, bbc world news america. Laura this is bbc world news america. Reporting from washington, i am laura trevelyan. Investigation underway over whether these missing these pieces of play are from mh 370. We will tell you about the frozen primordial soup has scientists excited. And built by the nazis, this should has been part of the u. S. Coast guard for decades. Why one german was quite surprised. I looked down and there was my ship. I knew immediately that was my ship. Laura welcome to our viewers on Public Television in america and also around the globe. It has been 16 months flight without appeared trace. Investigators are looking at a debris that has washed up on the indian ocean. The airplane left kuala lumpur bound for beijing. Jonathan head sent this report from the malaysian capital. It isnt much good a piece of a wink less than three meters long encrusted with barnacles. And the tattered remains of the suitcase. Yet more than 500 days after the disappearance of flight mh370, these might be the first clues to the greatest of aviation mysteries. It was very windy. Me and my friends decided to pull the debris further onto the shore. And then i found a bit of suitcase. Over there on the stone. I dont know if it was the suitcase that came from the plane, but it was opposite the plane debris. Jonathan for families who have been waiting so long for any news, emotions today are inevitably next. Mixed. I have been waiting for 509 nine days to see my husband again. I selfishly hope it is from mh370. Grieved, ii have not have not mourned yet. Another part of me is trying to have closure with it is a mixed feeling at the moment. Jonathan it is the baffling absence of any physical evidence of flight mh370 which has given rise to such a bewildering range of series about what might have happened series about what might happen to do it. Sound doesf wing turn out to be the missing airliner, the theories will be narrowed down to the one that was thought most likely, that it ends up under the waves of the southern indian ocean. The debris is being taken from this Remote Island to france for identification. Until then, officials are being cautious by drawing conclusions. Whatever wreckage found needs to be verified before we can further confirm whether it belongs to mh370. We dispatch a team to investigate on these issues. And we hope that we can identify it as soon as possible. Jonathan when the going triple seven managed on a routine flight, it prompted most difficult and expensive search in air transport history. Some of the worlds most remote seas. With no wreckage until now, no one has been sure where to look. The challenge remains, even if we do now have a first real clue. Jonathan head, bbc news, kuala lumpur. Laura flight mh370 is the only boeing triple seven aircraft two of disappeared over an ocean. The flag will be the fragment will be sent to france for investigation. Our transport correspondent takes a look at what it may reveal. Richard they spent months searching one side of the indian ocean. The first clue might have turned up thousands of miles away on the other side. They think they found one of these, and if youve ever looked at the ring on a window, you will see one moving around. Investigators might already know if the wreckage is from the right kind of aircraft. Andysia 370 was a boeing, different plane models have different shaped parts. Remote frenche island where volunteers cleaning a beach stumbled over the debris. It is more than 2500 miles from the main search area, were even are coming to see that for wreckage. Looking at the gap, you might think they are wasting their time. Look at the direction of the seas currents. Incredibly, finding a piece of wing could prove that they are looking in the right place. These barnacles indicate the debris has been floating for at least a year. Is the area that was the focus of the original search for mh370. One expert says the remote beaches on the other side of the ocean are exactly where the clues would wash up. Occurrence would take any material to the north initially and then ross across the corporeal current with madagascar. The timing and the location fits in exactly with what we would expect given the search site. You get various things. You get cratering, micro richard this man used to investigate thing crashes. He worked on lockerbie. What connects birds learn from a sixfoot piece of wing what was learned from sixfoot piece of wing . Each of the individual parts if it is identified as777, it is a will certainly mh370 almost certainly mh370 because you have never been 777 losses at sea before. Richard even if they find the bulk of the malaysian plane, much of the aircraft is hidden beneath the waves. Only when that is found will we know why the flight disappeared. Richard wescott, bbc news. Laura i spoke a brief time ago with someone from the National Transportation safety board, now a security consultant. Charleston how strong a lead is this . Charles, how strong elitist this . Charles this is a good on the technical side. We have boundary conditions for the end of the flight or as we only had them for the beginning in the middle. This allows investigators to calculate using ocean current analysis and other tools, to attempt to backcalculate a predicted crash site of the airplane using a variety of tools and estimates. It is very important for the families and investigators. Laura is it your instinct that this is part of the plane that went down . It is. it is the only large transport category airplane we are missing in that part of the world. From the pictures and statements we have experts so far, everything. Everything points towards the 777. Laura what does this mean for the actual search itself . Search the army have areas calculated from the beginning of the flight and it will go back and do the wledge and will try to do try to do the analysis and the same calculations from the other end. The further away from union island, the bigger the potential search area is going to get. They will look for intersections between previous search areas and any new search areas these new calculation. Laura are they going to be able to tell anything at all from how the plane from looking at piece of debris . Charles that is up to metallurgists and structural experts to look at. Like the various investigations we offended twa, we have done. Twa, we had metallurgist experts look at the debris from the experts and people used data to look at the bottom of the ocean. The same process will use the Lessons Learned from previous investigations to come up with answers for families. Laura but without the black box it is still a mystery. What kind of condition could they be after more than a year at the bottom of the ocean . Charles i have high confidence level that if the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder are found, they will still contain all of the data. Laura do you feel confident that this, surely the greatest aviation mystery of our time is it a little bit closer now to being solved . Could it still be ages before the actual plane itself is found . It is closer. This will help the authorities and possibly private entities to further the underwater search. Previously there were conspiracy to reason of it enough that the airplane might the on land somewhere. I believe it is headed towards the 777 and therefore the mh370 park, that is going to accelerate the underwater search effort and hopefully that will result in the data recorders being found in helping us solve the accident.

The Afghan Taliban confirmed that their leader role or more thed and announced leader lamar their leader, mullah omar, has died and i announced a replacement. For more on the peace negotiations, i spoke every time ago with a Senior Advisor to afghan chief executive abdullah abdullah. Thank you for being with us to what can you tell us about mansour . There is not much that we know about him yet, but he has been a household name without knowing much about him. That means that he has been running the political front of the taliban for the past, lets say, three or four years. Before that he was a commander of the taliban. He is from southern afghanistan, as was mullah omar. Was minister of aviation and transport the taliban government. He is in favor of peace negotiations with the Afghan Government . From what we know so far, yes. He was delegated to the talks that took place in july. This means he is in approval. There are many other leaders of the taliban and there are factions in the taliban who seem not to be so keen on talks. Laura those talks have been postponed, we learned, by the taliban. What do you read into that . I think it is a timing issue. The last 48 hours has been a lot of news about the death of the appointment of a new chief. The death of mullah omar and the appointment of a new chief. There will be an effort made by the taliban who are keen to talk, as well as pakistan come in trying to persuade some of these leaders to sit at the table for talking. Laura do you feel confident that the tax will take place . Im confident they will take place. Whether they will be fully representative of the taliban is another question. Whether there are some who will continue to fight is a big question. We are already two fights and ellens best to fight some element to fight some elements of the taliban. Laura there have been defections from the taliban to the Islamic State and mullah omar do not into be around. Absolutely. There were some teleplay and who raised taliban who raised the black flag instead of the white flight. The taliban may be able to increase its recruits because if anyone amongst the taliban is not in favor of talks or political approach from overtures, they will probably be moving towards the i. S. Groups in afghanistan. That is not very good news and it will put pressure on everyone to make sure the fighting ends sooner than later. Laura thank you for joining us. You are watching bbc world news america. Comets helped to kickstart life on earth. Land rover is sending back data and we will have the results. A man found guilty of financing a series of long blast in mumbai in 1993 has been a student at a prison in eastern india. He was hanged after his last pleas for clemens you were rejected by the Supreme Court and the indian president. He is the first person to be executed for the attacks, which killed 257 people. The bombing was apparently in revenge for antimuslim riots of few months earlier. It sent shockwaves across india. But the execution has divided opinion. This report from him by. From mumbai. Reporter security has been tight in mumbai all day today. There is coverage 200 locations across the city. All of the places where the bombings occurred in 1993, and also other locations where police fear there might be religious tensions after the hanging earlier morning. We saw an unprecedented sequence of events leading up to his execution. His final plea for mercy to indias president was rejected late last night halloween that, he made another appeal to the Supreme Court of india. The court opened its doors at 2 00 a. M. In the morning. It is hard to recall any other time when that has happened. They consider the appeal, but just before dawn they rejected it. They feel he deserved to get sentence for his role in providing financial and Logistical Support to the bombers in 1990. After that, at 7 00 a. M. Local time, he was hanged. Opinion is sharply divided in india. A group of top lawyers and politicians and activists has come out in his support, writing to the president of india to part him and not give him the death sentence. But there are perhaps as many if not more people who believe that because it was such a deadly people in which over 250 died, he deserve a harsh sentence. Asra scientists celebrated the lander touched down on a comet last year, and now we are learning what it has found. Researchers analyzing the data sent back at discovered complex chemical compounds, described as a frozen primordial soup. The comments may have the comets may have seeded the early earth with ingredients for life. Reporter ascending into the territory of a common was one of the greatest achievements in ration, and when it happened last november, the surface looked utterly barren. But in fact, the rock and dust turned out to be a rich and varied mix of chemicals, some expected, some not. The chief scientist for one of the instruments on the lander found the serving greens that could be useful to getting life going. I see this material we are analyzing as frozen primordial soup. It is the kind of stuff that if you had it and you warmed it up somehow, put it in the right environment with the right conditions, you might get life forming out of it. Reporter the mission is trying to answer the question of whether comets helped to kickstart life on earlier. Lets imagine we have the surface of the comet right here in our studio. ,ere comes the lander descending as he did last november. Instruments on board the spacecraft started gathering a wealth of data, but only now are scientists publishing the results. No surprise they did not find any signs of life could they never expected to. But they have discovered the kinds of chemicals which can make the Building Blocks for life. First come there is water, lots of it, in the form of ice together with oxygen and Carbon Dioxide stop nothing remarkable, but important. Then there are the more complex compounds, such as hydroxyethanal, which can play a sugars,the formation of and a compound that can lead to the backbone of dna. Where does this leave us . We still dont know for sure if comets brought life to earth, but it looks plausible that they have helped get it going. Finding the simple organic compounds on a comet in space, showing him if delivered to the history of our planet, is tremendously exciting because it gives us an idea of how those Building Blocks may have been formed. Reporter the lander is itself in a bad way. This is how it was meant to touchdown. In fact, it landed in a whole surrounded by boulders from which might explain why you cannot communicate. But it has delivered insights into this world. Are not as alien as they look, but might have a direct connection with us. Coloring,m comets to adults are suddenly going crazy for coloring books. In the u k and the u. S. , they are flying off shelves and can be found on the best seller list. Sarah campbell asks why. In her bedroom studio, milley has begun work on her third coloring. Her intricate designs have become usually popular, topping bestseller lists. It wasnt long after the first book had been published that i realized it was becoming tappingand people were into it and it was becoming more and more popular. Right back in the beginning, i didnt expect this had all. It was a real surprise. Enthusiasts in south wales met on a Facebook Group for coloring books and regularly get together to share books and pans and tips. What a lovely thing in this day anage when everybody is into all the computers and tech stuff, to come right back to basics and do Something Like this, which is just fabulous. For 10le can talk to me minutes and i wont know they are talking to me. World of my own. Just happilyies, coloring away. Used to be seen as a childrens activity, but not anymore. For booksellers competing against a rise in electronic readers, that has got to be a good thing. Coloring in can only be done the oldfashioned way. It is definitely not a flash in the pan. The number of books available will double in the next six months or so. Will it last forever . No way of telling, but it will be around for a good while. Sarah millie describes her work as a collaboration because her final artwork is a joint effort between her and her fans. Theyre creating a publishing phenomenon that shows no signs of fading. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Laura now to a sailing ship with a long history. The eagle was built by the nazis and used to train hitlers sailors during world war ii. At the end of hostilities, the u. S. Claimed it as part of germanys preparations. Since 1946, it has been used by the coast guard here to train new cadets. Imagine surprise of the former german recruit when he saw the ship in an american point. He spoke to us about the reunion and his memories of the iconic vessel. I am almost 90 years old. My connection to the eagle goes back more than 70 years. Germany, and i was due to be drafted. If you get drafted, you will probably be drafted into the ant id the army met do not believe we could win the war and i could not see myself sacrificing for something that was lost. Was on a sailing training ship it i learned a lot from the people on the eagle. Many of them came from the big towns. They were more sophisticated than i was. There was this fascination with the american and english. The language, culture, the people, even through the bombing raids and Everything Else it never went away. I was fascinated as anybody else. After the war and after i come home, i spoke to some of my buddies, and none of us knew what happened to the ship. I came over to the united states. I was here one year. I got drafted into the army. Came to new york from new york, i was transferred to hartford could one day in the winter, i took a young girl to a port for dancing. And we were dancing and then on the way back, i went over the bridge in london and i looked down and there was my ship. I knew immediately that was my ship. This was 1959. Andi went down to my deck where i had been sitting, guess what, a coc
