- The Germanwings co-pilot thought to have deliberately crashed his Airbus in the French Alps, killing 150 people, predicted "one day everyone will know my name", his ex-girlfriend says.

- In an interview with Germany's Bild newspaper, she recalled a comment Andreas Lubitz made last year.
- "One day I'm going to do something that will change the whole system, and everyone will know my name and remember," he told her.
- Flight 4U 9525 crashed on Tuesday.
- The woman, a 26-year-old flight attendant who flew with Mr Lubitz for five months last year, was "very shocked" when she heard the news, the papers says.
- If Mr Lubitz deliberately brought down the plane, "it is because he understood that because of his health problems, his big dream of a job at Lufthansa, as captain and as a long-haul pilot was practically impossible," she told Bild.
- The black box voice recorder indicates that Mr Lubitz locked his captain out of the cockpit on Tuesday and crashed the plane into a mountainside in what appears to have been a suicide and mass killing.
- German prosecutors say they found medical documents at Mr Lubitz's house suggesting an existing illness and evidence of medical treatment. They found torn-up sick notes, one of them for the day of the crash.
- They say he seems to have concealed his illness from his employers.
- His former girlfriend told Bild they separated, "because it became increasingly clear that he had a problem".
- She said he was plagued by nightmares and would at times wake up screaming "we're going down".
- A hospital in the German city of Duesseldorf has confirmed Mr Lubitz was a patient there recently but it denied media reports that he had been treated for depression.
- The theory that a mental illness such as depression had affected the co-pilot was suggested by German media, quoting internal aviation authority documents.
- They said he had suffered a serious depressive episode while training in 2009.
- He reportedly went on to receive treatment for a year and a half and was recommended regular psychological assessment.
- Mr Lubitz's employers insisted that he had only been allowed to resume training after his suitability was "re-established".
- French police say the search for passenger remains and debris on the mountain slopes could take another two weeks.
- In the aftermath of the crash, the EU's aviation regulator, the European Aviation Safety Agency, has urged airlines to adopt new safety rules.
- In future, it says, two crew members should be present in the cockpit at all times.
