30 victims of the Air Asia crash have now been recovered, according to officials in Indonesia.

They include some bodies still belted into their seats.

The search for the black box from the Air Asia plane crash is being hampered by bad weather.

Specialists are being brought in from France to hunt for the recorder but stormy conditions in the Java Sea are stopping divers from reaching possible wreckage.

Flight QZ8501 went down on Sunday en route from Indonesia to Singapore. 

The pilot had asked for permission to fly higher to avoid bad weather just before the aircraft disappeared from radar screens.

162 people were on board at the time - nine bodies have been recovered so far.
