Getting bored now - would there be some plane news if it was in BP&T?

Latest update on the search from Avherald

"
Late May 26th 2016 the French BEA announced the French Navy vessel "Laplace" has been dispatched to the crash site equipped with three "DETECTOR 6000" units capable of detecting and locating the black boxes' pingers. The vessel just departed Porto Vecchio with two BEA investigators on board and is estimated to arrived at the crash site in the next few days. There are discussions to also involve a second vessel equipped with a robot submarine capable of lifting debris from the ground estimated at a depth of 3000 meters. All operations are conducted under the lead of Egypt Authorities with the technical assistance by the BEA."

Why are the ATSB not leading the investigation?
I thought the protocol was any plane crash in the world if it's an American built plane gets the accident investigated by them.

And why has it taken a week to get the black box detectors out, we are going to be 10 or 11 days into the 30 day period.

The rules are generally that the state of occurrence investigates it. They can delegate if they don't have the resources.
Also, the vast majority of Airbus A320s are built in Europe..

Search teams have detected emergency signals from the wreckage apparently. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/egy...

Presumably the black box locator beacons, or is there another emergency locator emitted?

"Egypt's lead investigator has said".

I wonder at what point that statement will be retracted or contradicted..

Nothing on BBC news about it.

Although I hope it is true.

BBC is generally a little bit behind the others.

Now on BBC news website, although couldn't help noticing they say the signals have been heard "Egypt says". So there could be a completely different story by teatime.

BBC says the French also confirm, so may be accurate.

Yep, they've updated their story to confirm Laplace has heard the box that goes beep.
