Families of 43 missing students joined protesters outside the presidential palace in Mexico for a Christmas eve prayer. Holding posters of their children they called for justice for the student teachers who went missing on September 26 in a suspected massacre in the city of Iguala. For the families of the missing, it will be the first Christmas without their loved ones. “We’ve said on a number of occasions that we will not rest and we are not going to rest until they find them,” explained Felipe de la Cruz, a father of one of the missing students. “Today Christmas does not exist for us because there is somebody important who is missing in each family. So we cannot not say happy Christmas or Christmas eve’s night because there is no happiness in our hearts, there is the opposite. There is so much pain between us.” The protesters intend to remain in the capital to lead a march on Friday to commemorate the day the students disappeared exactly three months before. “Leila_Nash: A 3 meses este 26/12 19 h frente embajada de México en Santiago #AyotzinapaSomosTodos pic.twitter.com/7wvLBSnZNw"//#Mexico43— KenaLorenziniL (KenaLorenziniL) December 22, 2014 So far DNA tests have confirmed the identity of a single student. The remains of Alexander Mora, 19, were found at a rubbish dump earlier in December. He is believed to have been among the students who went missing in the city of Iguala in Guerrero state. However, some of the protesters still hoped to find others alive. The disappearance has been linked to corrupt local government and federal authorities, igniting sometimes violent protests across the country.   Less

The relatives of 43 missing Mexican students protested in several cities across the country to mark three months since their disappearance. At a demonstration in Mexico City an estimated two thousand activists demanded justice for the missing who were reportedly taken by local police and members of a drug gang. “There are 43 people who aren’t with us and so long as this continues the Mexican people will continue to rise up. We want to remind President Peña Nieto what we warned him about. If there’s no Christmas for us then there’s no Christmas for him either,” said Felipe de la Cruz, spokesman for the relatives of the missing student teachers. Omar Garcia, a student leader at Ayotzinapa school believes his companions are still alive and being held captive for ransom: “The night of September 26 hasn’t ended. It has stood still for us. Nothing was clear that night and that is still the case.” Meanwhile in the city Iguala where the students disappeared, a march turned violent with protesters attacking the gates of the city’s military base. Investigators have been searching the state of Guerrero and so far have found 15 mass graves. However, only one of the missing students has been identified.   Less

An Air Asia flight carrying 162 people on board from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore has lost contact with air traffic control. Flight QZ 8501, an Airbus 320-200, lost contact with the Jakarta air traffic control tower around one hour into the two hour flight over the Java Sea. The Indonesian transport ministry said the crew had requested to climb to 11,000 metres to avoid bad weather, however no distress signal was sent. A search and rescue operation has been launched by Indonesia’s air force. Neighbouring Malaysia and Singapore have offered to help find the missing jet. In a statement released by Air Asia, the airline said most of those on board are Indonesian, but there are also three South Koreans, and one each from France, Malaysia and Singapore. They added that the captain in command has 6,100 hours of flying time and the first officer almost 2,800 hours. The aircraft had undergone its last scheduled maintenance on 16 November 2014.   Less

Rescuers in Indonesia have called off the search for of a missing AirAsia flight with 162 people on board. They will resume their efforts in the morning. Flight QZ8501, an Airbus 320-200, lost contact with Jakarta air traffic control tower half way into the two hour flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. Relatives of those on the missing jet have been gathering in the hope of hearing news of the plane’s whereabouts. On board were 155 Indonesians, three South Koreans and one each from Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and France. At Singapore’s Changi Airport Louise Sidharta, whose fiancé is a passenger on the AirAsia flight, had been waiting for him to return from a holiday with his relatives: “He had planned their final family holiday together before our wedding, she said. It was his last holiday alone with them.” Indonesia’s transport ministry said no distress signal had been sent from the crew before it disappeared. However, AirAsia said the pilots had requested to increase their altitude to avoid bad weather over the Java Sea before losing contact. Indonesian authorities have been offered help in the search and investigation from Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Australia. Rescue planes and boats have been scourging the area for any signs of the jet, however poor weather has been hampering their efforts.   Less

Two Turkish crew members have died and another four are missing after their cargo ship sank in the Adriatic off Italy, following a collision with another vessel. One body was recovered from the sea; another person died in hospital after being brought ashore. The search for the four missing in cold, rough seas was suspended for the night when darkness fell. The coast guard said six crew members were initially rescued and brought to the port of Ravenna. They include the man who later died. The Turkish ship Gokbel was leaving port when it collided with the Lady Aziza as it arrived. Visibility was poor due to fog. The Gokbel sank; no-one was hurt on board the Belize-flagged vessel which was still seaworthy and was brought to port as part of the investigation. The drama happened as Italian emergency services were already heavily involved in rescuing passengers from a ferry which caught fire en route from Greece.   Less

Teams from Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore on Monday resumed their search for an Air Asia passenger jet, missing in the Java Sea. As hopes fade for the 162 people on board the Airbus A320, naval vessels and air force planes from the three south-east Asian nations joined the mission. The jetliner disappeared from radar on Sunday en route to Singapore from Indonesia second largest city, Surabaya, where family members have gathered at a crisis centre for news of their loved ones. Similar scenes played out in Singapore where loved ones were told how the pilot had asked to change course due to bad weather. The area around the flight path is experiencing one of two monsoon seasons at the moment, which often includes severe thunderstorms. AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandez said the airline was doing everything it could for passengers’ next of kin. “Our first priority now is look after the families, and do whatever we can. We don’t know exactly what happened to the aircraft. It’s premature to talk about insurance. But all financial costs for the next of kin will be taken care of by AirAsia,” Fernandez told the media. Most of the passengers were Indonesian. If the AirAsia jet is confirmed to have crashed, this will be the third major aviation incident to affect south-east Asian airlines in 2014. In March, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared between Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Beijing and still hasn’t been found. It is thought to have crashed into the Indian Ocean, killing all 239 onboard. Four months later, another Malaysian Airlines jetliner MH17 from Amsterdam to KL was shot down over Ukraine with 297 passengers and crew murdered.   Less

The number of people known to have died after the fire on an Italian ferry off the Greek island of Corfu has risen to ten. The 36-hour rescue operation came to an end, but Italian and Greek authorities have been trying to verify the exact number of passengers amid fears that more people could be missing. An air search of the sea around the vessel has been continuing. The passenger list said there were 478 passengers and crew on board – at least 40 more than the official number of people rescued. Some of those on the stricken ship were taken on board other boats. “We tried to leave the ship, but couldn’t do so because of the rough sea, strong wind and rain. We could only put one rescue boat out to sea, the other one on that side caught fire,” said the Norman Atlantic’s steersman Tommaso De Lauro. Survivors – many of whom were winched to safety – have been telling tales of chaotic scenes as the fire took hold. “(There was) no alarm, no alarm, no communication, nobody to tell us what to do. I had to look for myself to find a lifejacket, and help to put it on my kids by myself. Nobody was there to.. ok it was panic, it was crazy!” said Greek survivor Athanasios Tsonas, speaking in English. The Italian-flagged ferry, chartered by a Greek operator, was sailing from Patras in western Greece to Ancona in Italy. The latest pictures from Monday showed the vessel still smouldering. Separate investigations are underway in Italy and Albania to establish the cause of the fire, and where the ship should be towed for further examination.   Less

More than two days after an AirAsia passenger jet went missing off Indonesia, the international search and rescue operation is now focusing on an oil slick in the Java Sea. Teams are also investigating the sighting of smoke on one of islands along its flight path. Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo has thanked neighbouring countries Singapore, Malaysia and Australia for scrambling their own military teams. China and South Korea have also promised to help. AirAsia’s CEO Tony Fernandes has defended his airline’s reputation. The carrier was voted the world’s best budget airline for six years running. He told the media that since 2001, AirAsia had “carried 220 million passengers and until today, has not lost a single life”. Travelling from Suryabaya to Singapore, the early morning flight last made contact 40 minutes into its two hour journey. Thirty ships, 15 aircraft and seven helicopters are part of a widened search area, which now includes areas of land. All but the most optimistic now think the 162 people on board met a terrible fate.   Less

The search was resuming off the north coast of Scotland on Sunday morning for the eight crew members of an overturned cargo ship. The operation was suspended overnight. The vessel’s upturned hull was found by a passing ferry on Saturday. No distress call had been received. The Cypriot-registered Cemfjord was spotted some 25 kilometres from Wick. It had been carrying 2,000 tonnes of cement from Denmark to Runcorn near Liverpool. The ship’s German operators Brise of Hamburg said in a statement that the crew members, seven Poles and a Filipino, were missing after a “severe accident”. Bad weather had been reported in the area at the time and conditions remain difficult. The UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency said four lifeboats, two helicopters and other vessels were involved in the search. The lifeboat charity the RNLI said on Saturday that the arrival of a tug was awaited to tow the cargo ship back to land. However the RNLI’s video of the vessel revealed very little of the hull remained above the surface of the water. The cargo ship was built in 1984; its owners say it had completed successful inspections last month.   Less

The relatives of 43 of Mexico’s missing students say they are to open their own search after the failure of local and federal police to find any of them alive. DNA tests conducted by the FBI have only confirmed the identity one of the missing student teachers from a number of mass graves that have recently been unearthed, the result say witnesses from Guerreros state, of the police handing prisoners over to drug gangs. “We’re going to look for all of them. We’re not going to count on the government anymore because it does nothing for us. They just tell us that we should give up, how are we going to give up? Would the President give up if it was his son?” said grieving father Rafael Lopez. Witness statements just made public allege police and drugs gangs collaborated in what is being described as a “hillside massacre” in Iguala in late September, when a number of people were shot or beaten to death by police officers before some 80 eighty students and teachers, over half from the same school, were handed over to local drugs gang lords. To date some 80 arrests have been made of politicians, local government and police officers but the victims’ families say the corrupt system is incapable of finding the truth.   Less

Dramatic new footage has emerged of the moment a Transasia plane crashed in Taiwan. Surveillance tape on a 21-storey building near the Keelung river shows the aircraft plunging sharply minutes after taking off from Taipei Songshan Airport, missing buildings by less than a metre. Fifteen people survived the crash last Wednesday which killed at least 40 people. Divers continue to battle the cold weather to search for the 3 people still missing. Rescuers believe they may be trapped under the mud. Pilots at Transasia Airways are now being tested on how to handle engine failure after initial data indicated this as a reason for the crash. Flags are flying at half mast across the country as a memorial service is held in Taipei, while the bodies of three victims where flown to mainland China so their loved ones could hold funerals in their home towns.   Less

Place Vendôme in Paris is home to countless luxury jewellers and designers, including names like Dior and Chanel. Now, one Parisian jeweller is embracing the future by offering custom-made jewellery with the help of 3D printing. Clients visit the Jaubalet office to talk through their ideas, which are then sketched out. They are then sent an exact 3D-printed wax replica before the piece of jewellery goes into production. “I couldn’t possibly make a choice and sign a cheque simply from looking at a picture on the internet,” says client Carine Pichon. “What if I buy something and it is not the size I want – what if it’s too big or too small? So I think that having something that is not the final product, but is close to it when it comes to size and shape, is important to reassure clients they’re making the right choice.” The company says business is doing well. Three quarters of their clients come from abroad, mainly from China, Central Asia, Russia and the Middle East. And, they say, they offer more competitive prices of up to fifty percent less than other big names on the market. “We have no showroom costs, all our products are made to order, we don’t have any stock, so our prices are lower, more accessible, and we offer exceptional quality,” says Patrick Barruel, Commercial Development Director at Jaubalet. For those who travel to France to buy luxury jewellery, it’s also about the experience as much as the pleasure of owning a unique product. The ultimate luxury is to have it handmade, and – even better – imagined and designed by the wearer. And that, say these innovative jewellers, is what they have to offer. A month after her first appointment, Pichon is back to pick up the final product and seems delighted with her 6,000-euro diamond ring.   Less

Transport ministers from Malaysia, China and Australia have pledged to double the search area for a missing Malaysia Airlines plane if the current search fails to produce results. The announcement came during a meeting in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, where flight MH370 originated over a year ago. “In the event that we cannot find the aircraft, the commitment is being made to extend the search over a further 60,000 square kilometres,” Australia’s Minister of Transport Warren Truss told reporters. “That would cover the entire highest probability part of the search area, the places where we believe that the aircraft is most likely to be located.” No physical evidence of the Boeing 777 has been recovered since it disappeared on March 8, 2014, en route to Beijng with 239 people aboard. Australia has been leading the underwater search, which has covered close to 40,000 square kilometres of the southern Indian Ocean off Australia’s west coast. The initial search began last year and was scheduled to end in May. Today’s announcement will extend the investigation by up to another 12 months. During their meeting, the ministers also discussed plans to recover the wreckage if the plane is found.   Less

Up to a thousand EU citizens are among several thousand people still missing in Nepal. Most of the missing Europeans are thought to have been around popular trekking routes in the Himalayas, where others have been airlifted out of the area. The head of the EU delegation in Nepal, Rensje Teerink, said those unaccounted for are said to be hard to trace as they don’t register with embassies, and it’s thought some could have left the country. “EU nationals non-accounted for – there are 1,000 – but that of course doesn’t mean that they’re dead, just that they haven’t reported back, so 1,000 unaccounted EU nationals but we don’t know what is happening to them, whether some of them may be dead, some of them may just not have reported, but that is the latest figure,” Terrink said. Meanwhile efforts have been continuing in Bhaktapur and elsewhere to comb the ruins of wrecked buildings. In Kathmandu until now the search teams have been looking for survivors of last Saturday’s earthquake, but soon the dogs, pickaxes and other equipment will give way to bulldozers charged with clearing the debris. With bodies still being pulled out of the rubble, and infrastructure and basic amenities destroyed, the health of survivors is becoming a major concern. Rescuers have been ordered to incinerate bodies immediately. At the Pashupatinath temple east of Kathmandu, the dead have been brought by truck and unloaded onto funeral pyres. On Friday the number known to have died reached 6,250, with more than 14,000 injured. The authorities fear the actual death toll could reach 10,000. Those living in Kathmandu’s outdoor camps since the quake have been receiving aid donated from around the world. Outside the capital relief and rescue teams are said to have reached most areas but many more urgently need help.   Less

Rescuers searched for 12 people, including at least three young children, on Monday after heavy floods swamped Texas and Oklahoma — and forecasters warned that more rain and damaging winds are on the way. At least four people were killed, including a 14-year-old boy in Texas who was found inside a storm drain and was believed to have drowned. Authorities in Hays County, Texas, increased the number of missing to 12 from eight. They included members of two families in the small town of Wimberley, three of whom are children under the age of 10, relatives told NBC News. The 12 people were gathered in a Wimberley home when flash floods struck on Sunday, said Kharley Smith, the emergency management coordinator in Hays County. Smith said up to 72 structures in Wimberley had been washed away. "We have roads full of slabs now," she said. "A substantial amount of rain" Monday will complicate the search efforts, and create further danger in the county, Smith said. A curfew will be in place for a second night Monday, she said. The town sits on the Blanco River, which runs between Austin and San Antonio and was one of the worst hit areas by the weekend floods. Waters rose so quickly Sunday that roads turned to torrents, 1,000 people were forced to evacuate.   Less
