One of the black boxes from the Lion Air flight that crashed off Indonesia has been found.
Divers equipped with "pinger" locators have been searching for the piece of equipment, which could hold the key to finding out why the plane went down.
All the 189 people on board the plane have been presumed dead, and 49 body bags containing human remains have so far been sent for identification.

As thousands of migrants approach the southern US border by foot - Donald Trump says he'll send as many as 15,000 military troops to stop them.
The 'caravan' is still more than a thousand kilometres from the border, but the Trump administration has been working to make it a major issue in the lead-up to next week's mid-term elections in the US.
On Monday, officials said they would send more than 5,000 troops - but Trump now claims "up to 10,000-15,000" military personnel could be deployed.

Ryanair's new baggage policy comes into effect today.
It means passengers will no longer be able to take hand luggage onto the plane free of charge.
Only one small bag such as a handbag or a laptop bag can be carried onboard the plane by non-priority customers.
The usual 10 kilo hand luggage bag will now cost you €8 to check in.
