CANBERRA: Authorities will focus the search for Flight MH370 in the southern part of the existing search area following the discovery of new leads, says Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss.

He said authorities were able to obtain new information after the refinement of satellite data and information of a failed attempt by Malaysia Airlines ground personnel to communicate with the aircraft after it went missing.
