Brazil's Air Force says it has found airplane seats and other debris floating in the Atlantic Ocean along the path that a missing Air France jet was flying. Air Force spokesman Jorge Amaral says the seats were spotted by search planes early on Tuesday morning but that authorities cannot immediately confirm they were from the plane. Also spotted were small white pieces of debris, material that may be metallic and signs of oil and kerosene, which is used as jet fuel. The debris was found about 650 kilometers northeast of the Brazilian archipelago of Fernando de Noronha. The plane disappeared with 228 people aboard.
The items included a seat from a plane, bits of white material, an orange buoy, a barrel and some oil and kerosene slicks, grouped in two floating patches 60 kilometers apart, according to an air force statement. It could not immediately be confirmed that the debris was from Air France flight AF 447, the spokesman, Colonel Jorge Amaral, told reporters. There were no signs of survivors, he said.

BJP nominated Karia Munda as Lok Sabha Dupty Speaker

Karia Munda, BJP's tribal leader from Jharkhand, was named by the party as its candidate for the post of Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha. "The Parliamentary Board decided to name six-time party MP in the Lok Sabha Karia Munda as the candidate for the post," BJP General Secretary Arun Jaitley told reporters at New Delhi today. 72-year-old Munda was a minister in the Morarji Desai government and later in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee ministry. He was earlier an MLA in Bihar and later in Jharkhand. When asked whether Munda's candidature was done with the aim of winning tribal support for the party, Jaitley said, "It is true that Munda belongs to the ST community, but along with that he has a vast legislative experience and this decision was made considering his seniority."
BJP was earlier planning to field veteran BJP leader and MP from Indore Sumitra Mahajan but gave up the idea when Congress nominated Kumar. Congress had offered Deputy Speakership to the BJP last Saturday in keeping with the convention that the position has been held by the opposition. Munda later said his nomination would send a "good message" among the tribals because the community has got honour. He, however, denied that his party played the tribal card by selecting him for the post. Former Jharkhand Chief Minister and BJP MP Arjun Munda hailed Karia Munda's nomination saying it will send a very positive signal in the tribal state.
