The second flight recorder from the Germanwings A320 jet that crashed in the French Alps last week has been found, the Marseille prosecutor has said.

The voice recorder was found almost immediately at the site of the crash on 24 March.

Recordings taken from the first "black box" suggested co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had deliberately crashed the plane.

The plane had been carrying 150 people from Barcelona to Duesseldorf.
