10.52 Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's transport minister has told the world, 30 days after the plane went missing and as Australia detects what it says are pulse signals from the black box at a depth of 4,500ft in the Indian Ocean, that "miracles do happen" and that "we continue to pray for survivors".

10.30 How much is the search for MH370 costing?
The US bill alone has run into the millions of dollars, AP reports, and some countries such as China have devoted more ships and planes to the effort than the Americans have. Australia is spending more than half a million dollars a day on just one of the ships it has in the Indian Ocean.
But governments and military experts say it's difficult to come up with a full estimate for an ongoing search, especially since many of the costs are a normal part of maintaining effective search-and-rescue capabilities.
More than two dozen countries have played some role in the long search, which Malaysia is overseeing. In the days since the search shifted to remote areas of the Indian Ocean, several countries have deployed planes and ships for the effort, including China, Australia, Malaysia, the US, Britain, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea. On Monday, nine military planes, three civil aircraft and 14 ships were combing a 234,000-square-kilometer (90,000-square-mile) search area, according to Australian officials coordinating the search.
