Indonesia's president Joko Widodo has ordered authorities to search through the night for a plane that crashed off the coast of Jakarta. Mr Widodo has met the relatives of the 189 passengers who were on board the boeing 737 when it crashed shortly after takeoff. Officials say it's now unlikely there were any survivors¹. The plane had recently experienced a technical problem but the airline insists that issue was resolved.
