**** The search for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 has gained momentum after a damaged suitcase was found on Reunion Island. It comes after the suitcase was found hours after a piece of debris believed to be that of the Boeing 777 (triple 7) was also found. The debris has been sent to offices of France’s crash investigation agency in Toulouse to verify the claims. **** To local news now and a section of Little Bourke Street in Melbourne has been closed off by Police after the discovery of a body early this morning. The man's body was found on Little Bourke Street, near the corner of Queen Street. Police are not deeming the man’s death as suspicious but are expected to release more details. **** The 30-year-old man believed to be behind the disappearance of a teenage university student who vanished in the Bendigo area while jogging will continue to be held and questioned by Police. Officers found the teenager in a car in Maiden Gully, 13km away on the other side of Bendigo. Inspector Michael Talbot who leads the investigations says the location she was found at is not somewhere you’d just walk to. The teenager set off on a run in a national Park in One Tree Hill in Bendigo at 3pm on Wednesday. ****Sunshine and Albion train stations are exposing public transport users in the Brimbank area to an alarming number of crimes according to fresh Victoria Police data.

St Albans, Keilor Plains and Ginifer rail stations also recorded high crime rates in the study. ****The health and wellbeing of Australian tradies will be in the spotlight ahead of a month long campaign which begins tomorrow.

The campaign focuses on physical and mental health, safety on site and the positive effects of physiotherapy. SPORT ****In the Ashes, and a loss is looming for the Australians after a disappointing performance with the bat allowed England to move closer to victory.
