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.I thought the protocol was any plane crash in the world if it's an American built plane gets the accident investigated by them.
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?

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.http://news.sky.com/story/1705211/signals-detected...

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.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-364270...
BBC confirming...
