fred pleitgen is in toulouse, france, where the debris is heading. we begin on reunion island with our reporter, nima albagr. the piece of debris that left for france, this wasn't just the normal process of getting an item on to plane, i understand? >> reporter: no, absolutely not. this had to be dealt with so delicately. because anything and everything on that debris, any compromising of the integrity of that debris can have an impact on the investigation. so it was wrapped very, very carefully to preserve as much as possible for the investigators. we actually got to see some of that when it was lowered into the crate, it was lowered with a police escort. people standing, watching, making sure everything was done exactly as it needed to be. >> and there is an ongoing search right now for any other items that might be possibly from the plane? >> reporter: the search does continue. we had police helicopters flying overhead for most of today, and actually for most of the past few days, because the working theory that investigators have is if this is in

the reason for that is the french who have this incredible testing lab at toulouse where oddly enough is where airbuses are are made in france, that all they will say is it's evidence of possibly being from mh370. and they are scared stiff there may be a sin till scintilla of doubt. he said that this wreckage found on that island near madagascar is from mh370. 17 months after it vanished off radar screens the first piece of malaysia airlines mh370 has apparently been found. malaysia airlines said wednesday morning that a wing fragment that washed up on reunion was confirmed as belonging to the missing aircraft. >> it is with a very heavy heart that i must tell tell you that an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on reunion island is indeed from mh370. >> hours later french authorities were a bit more cautious saying there were strong presumptions that the aircraft debris was from the jet liner and boeing confirmed that the wing flap was from a 777. but stopped short of confirming it was from mh370. investigators determined the airli

for the latest let's bring in saima mosa in toulouse. >> reporter: those will take place in the south of france where forensic experts and scientific teams will take a closer look. officials flying here from around the world, the french authorities, malaysian officials and malaysian judicials. they will be joined by air transport police from france as well. chinese officials will join the team because, of course, the majority of people were from china. the flight from kuala lumpur to beijing. the flaperon is part of a 777 aircraft but not yet confirmed of mh-370. that will be determined inside the lab. hopefully there will be definitive answers on that. to that end, the malaysian transport minister tweeted that look this piece is in line with drift analysis by experts saying they were determined given the analysis of where we believe mh-370 could have gone down this piece would have drifted across the indian ocean toward reunion island where this piece was found. he is reminded he must not speculate until we determine this is from mh-370. to that end, over the weekend, a lot of other

we just dipped into a press conference in toulouse, france.lly hearing in my ear that officials there have confirm that that debris found on reunion island is from >> they are in toulouse, france, where this investigation has been going on. catch us up here. >> hi, brianna, yes, the prime minister making that surprise press conference there to sympathize both with the passengers and the crew members families to say that he stands united with them and submitted to finding out the truth shortly after announcing that the piece of aircraft found on reunion island as he put it was indeed from mh 370. that means that obviously the investigators that arrived here just a few hours ago, brianna, have conclusively decided together that there flaperon, which we knew since the weekend was from a 777 aircraft is now conclusively matched to mh-370, a lot of hopes and fears tied to this announcement and we were expecting a press conference from the french prosecutor's office shortly, but it seems that the prime minister and the malaysian government decided t

it washed ashore at reunion island and now that piece of debris is in a french lab in toulouse france. it arrived on saturday. investigators won't start looking at it until wednesday. their goal is to determine whether it might belong to malaysia airlines flight 370. that as you'll remember has been missing since march of last year. a source close to the investigation says a preliminary report could be released as early as next week. if it is from mh-370 this would be the first piece of physical evidence from that flight and it could provide much needed clues to what happened to that plane and the 239 people who were on board. cnn correspondent david malko is following this investigation. the investigation is happening in france but investigators from all over the world will be part of this. can you explain? >> george that's right. this will be handled delicately and with a lot of sensitivity. french has jurisdiction over this piece of debris because of where it turned up on reunion island but the malaysians are leading the investigation. you're going to have teams from the united sta

the investigation is focusing on the debris in toulouse, france. simon, we know that malaysia's transport ministry saying today this debris is, indeed, from a boeing 777. no questions? >> yeah, that's right. but everyone involved in this investigation and analysis have confirmed that it is from a 777 aircraft. but, christi, that's not to say that it is definitely from mh-370. and this is the lab that i'm at here in toulouse in the south of france. the dga. it's run by the french minister of defense where those folsom arms that erin mentioned should be cleared. so they've said that it is from a 777 aircraft. they haven't said it's from mh-370. what will happen now is members of the united states, ntsb, malaysian officials and we're told now chinese officials, too, joining this group, and the french authorities will come to this lab, and they're saying that they'll meet on monday, but they won't start analyzing until wednesday. i imagine the scientists will be here first thing monday morning, running the tests they need to. and then the senior offici

it was sent to a high tech military laboratory near toulouse. and a piece of luggage is also being examined at the laboratory. the hunt continues for clues in one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history. john terret, al jazeera. >> allen deal, author of air safety investigators using science to save lives one crash at a time. in albuquerque. tell us what this evidence tells you. >> it provides for some clues but we'll have to wait for the cadre of investigators to discern whether or not and how this piece separated called a flapper on. there are several clues that seem to jump out add me but right now they are tentative. did the aircraft dive in at high speed? or did it basically glide down? and there's some real issues for size of the search area, depending on which of those two theories are confirmed by the so-called flapper-on evidence. >> are you surprised it took so long to find any piece of this boat -- i mean this plane? >> well, john i hate to be too critical of our government. but we didn't -- we had the one type of aircraft that

reunion is in the hands of french officials, and will be examined at a government lab near the city of toulouse sophisticated technology will help to determine whether it is from the missing malaysia airlinesers flight 370. it disappeared with 239 passengersers on board. charles stratford is in tall use with the details. >> reporter: this is a french ministry establishment where the investigation is taking place x some of the buildings behind me, similar investigations have taken place in recent years. we are in the hub of the european aviation industry here. it's believed the focus of this investigation is going to start to look at what is reported as potentially a serial number on this piece of debris. the malaysian authorities already saying that this offers conclusive proof that it comes from a boeing 777. if that is the case, then logically one has to think that it does come from mh370 because there hasn't been any disasters of that plane over ocean since the plane came into circulation, since it was started to be flown. we hear that they'll look at trying to establish how long the debris

. >> our malaysian team in toulouse who is actually the expert and the investigation team has confirmed nbc's allister jamison is live in toulouse, france, where investigators are examining that flaperon. so french officials aren't going as far as malaysian officials are on this thing, right? >> reporter: right. while it's likely it is linked to mh-370 there's a small element of doubt. they haven't confirmed it con conclusively yet. in a hangar behind me the fragments of air france flight 447 which went down on a flight from brazil to france a few years ago, so they have experience of dealing with exactly this type of issue. it's these conflicting statements that have angered the families today, some of the families in china have accused malaysia of rushing to conclusions and say that it's weakened their confidence that they'll ever get answers as to what happened to mh-370. >> tell me what you're hearing about this new debris found on the island apparently some pieces of aluminum and what could be part of a window, the interior part? >> reporter: that's right, jose. french authorities

france where that flaperon and part of a suitcase are being analyzed at separate labs the flaperon in toulouse and the suitcase at another lab. we know that french military planes are involved, helicopters and a land search. reunion island is part of france, a french territory. but the search has been expanded to madagascar. all authorities in that region are on high alert to any debris that may be linked to mh370. but really the only item that has been confirmed as part of mh370 is that flaperon and that confirmation coming from the malaysians. >> these new items, the french authorities want to be more cautious and that is understandable given what we saw the year ago. but you mentioned the window and seat cushion that washed up on reunion island as well. what goes through how those pieces of evidence will be tested? how will authorities go about trying to confirm that they are part of mh370? >> a really interesting question. and i think there is a lot of debris that has been washed up and found. authorities saying a pair of flip-flops have been found. they don't know if it is part of luggage

we're hours away from aviation experts in toulouse, france starting to analyze the boeing 777 flaperon last week on reunion island. the seven-foot section of the trailing edge of the wing is almost certainly from mh 370 because it is the only 777 to ever crash into the ocean. so the investigation will focus on more than just identifying the piece. experts will also be using state-of-the-art forensic technology that could show whether the plane crashed in the sea or broke up in flight. in other words, did it fall off? was the piece ripped off? what they won't be able to find is why the jumbo jet veeredff course and disappeared from radar. it's unclear how long their analysis will take. oceanographers are analyzing models showing the trade winds and ocean currents over the past 16 months in the indian ocean with the hope of being able to retrace how far the debris drifted and possibly get a better idea of where the jet went down. experts warn that it's a very difficult thing to pinpoint. for now, search teams have a high degree of confidence that the area they have been searching for sev
