Egypt officials claim to locate EgyptAir black boxes by Loren Pratt on 23/05/2016 The Egyptian military, on 21 May, published a video of its rescue team recovering debris suspected as being from the EgyptAir flight MS804 which crashed into the Mediterranean on earlier in the week. "There were ACARS messages emitted by the plane indicating that there was smoke in the cabin shortly before data transmission broke off", a spokesman for France's Bureau of Investigations and Analysis told AFP. French aviation officials revealed Saturday that the plane sent automatic messages about smoke in the front of the aircraft just before it crashed. The data came through the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), a data link for sending messages between planes and ground facilities, CNN reported. Other parts of the debris were identified by the Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos, who confirmed that a seat, luggage and "a body part" were among them. "Now the question we are left with is did this start with an ordinary electrical fault, a short circuit which started a fire, or was the fire started deliberately with a small explosion or an incendiary device?" "That answer is unlikely to be forthcoming soon". Search crews are scouring for further wreckage of the aircraft. The black box records conversations in the cockpit which could provide a vital insight into the last moments of those on board the plane. The submarine can reach a depth of 3,000 meters (about 9,800 feet), Egyptian TV reported. Egypt has deployed a submarine to the Mediterranean Sea to search for the so-called black boxes from EgyptAir Flight 804, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said Sunday. The Egyptian military facebook.com/Egy. The images show items from the stricken plane, including a child's life jacket and what appears to be part of a seat. Egypt's aviation minister on Thursday said investigators hadn't ruled out any scenario, but that terrorism was a more likely cause than mechanical failure. So far no hard evidence has emerged, however. ISIS claimed responsibility for the Sharm al-Sheikh bombing within hours but a purported statement from the group's spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, distributed on Saturday, made no mention of the crash. In the wake of that incident foreign governments issued travel warnings for Egypt and demanded a review of security at its airports after the Islamic State group said it had downed the plane with a bomb concealed in a soda can. Three European security officials said the passenger manifest for Flight 804 contained no names on terrorism watch lists. The manifest was leaked online and has not been verified by the airline. The official was not authorised to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. In his first public remarks on Thursday's crash of the Airbus 320 jet, which killed all 66 people on board, Sisi also said all possible scenarios were still being considered and cautioned against rushing to conclusions. Those reports may have caused Egyptian authorites to be more cautious, Ahelbarra said.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders who is the final month of his 2016 Democratic presidential bid has no love for Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Sunday making the rounds on the political talk shows Sanders went on the record backing his supporter Tim Canova, a little known college professor, in Florida's 23rd congressional district over the long established Wasserman Shultz. Sanders also said that if her were elected president he would bounce Wasserman Schultz out as the head of the Democratic National Committee Chairperson. Meanwhile, back in the Sunshine State Canova is the Florida congresswomans first primary challenger, is that he says he has raised more than $1 million since kicking off his campaign in January. That total comes despite him being relatively unknown compared to the woman he is challenging. Now a professor at Nova Southeastern Universitys law school in Fort Lauderdale, he has taught international trade law for 20 years and been a vocal opponent of President Barack Obamas signature trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which has enraged liberals. This is one of his biggest policy differences with Wasserman Schultz, who was one of 28 House Democrats to support legislation giving Obama fast-track trade authority for the TPP. That issue propelled him to run against the lawmaker he voted for two years ago. Canova was lobbying the Florida congressional delegation with Citizens Trade Campaign, a coalition of groups founded in 1992 to fight the North American Free Trade Agreement, to oppose the TPP. For those who know him best, Canovas plunge into electoral politics was not completely unexpected. His former colleagues and friends describe him as *extremely well-informed and active* and a *true progressive* who frequently discusses politics and policy. Despite Canovas backing from Sanders he still faces an uphill battle against Wasserman Schultz who has the strong backing of Hillary Clinton. No doubt it will be a close race and one we clearly will follow
