Twenty-five countries are now involved in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.

Malaysia's Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein says they have asked America, China and France amongst others for further satellite data. 

The transport minister told a news conference the pilot and co-pilot did not ask to fly together on Flight MH370.

Hussein also revealed details about the homes that have been searched.

“Yesterday, officers from the Royal Malaysian Police visited the home of the pilot. They spoke to family members of the pilot and experts are examining the pilot’s flight simulator. The police also visited the home of the co-pilot,” he said.
