>> evil incarnate. >> ex-or sis or is >> we begin with possible clues in the search for malaysia airlines flight 370, which disappeared saturday on route from kuala lumpur to beijing, with 239 on board. images shot by a chinese satellite sunday show three large objects floating near the area where the south china sea meets the gulf of thailand. a new zealand oil rig worker reported in an email that he observed the plane burning at a high altitude in one piece. he said he informed authorities in vietnam and malaysia. vietnamese

officials searched the area and found nothing. malaysian authorities are unclear, saying they detected radar blips that could have come from the boeing 777. analysts are speculating why the transponders switched off into the flight. malaysian officials released the pilot's last words. all he said was, "all right, roger that" at the transfer. for more i'm joined by former inspector general with the u.s. department of transportation. have you seen an investigation into an air crash that is as one? >> no, and part of the reason is there's no clear leadership.

the international civil aviation organization rules that the civil aviation investigatory body should take the lead. we have the malaysian military taking the lead. it's causing confusion, and they don't have much experience in the area of leading these technical investigations. >> the big development on wednesday was the release of chinese satellite photos that show three large objects. the largest is 79 by 72 feet. there's a lot of debate as to whether it's possible that large debris is consistent with debris from a high altitude crash. what do you thing? >> it depends what caused the catastrophe at 35,000 feet. if it was a situation where you had a problem, a fuel tank explosion, or a wing off an explosion or fire, then you would expect to see parts really torn apart and widely dispersed.

if it was like an air france 447, the plane encountered bad weather. it had a stall, an aerodynamic stall. the air stopped moving across the rings at a speed fast enough to keep the plane flying and it fluttered to the earth like a leaf, the ocean. that could leave you with big parts. in the case of air-france, it did not. depends what the catastrophic event was. >> wouldn't there be more debris evident? >> yes. when a plane hits the water after an explosion or the wing coming off, or twa, an explosion. if a plane hits the water from a high altitude, 35,000 feet, it's like hitting cement. it comes apart. the only exception is if there was a water landed attempt and the only

successful one we know from aviation history was captain sulemburger and jeffrey styles. if this is debris in the pictures, that the huge metal pieces could have floated crashed? >> if there are parts of the plane that will float. for example, parts of the wings might float, the tale. usually it's things inside the cabin, the gallie carts. parts like that are good floating. so to see huge parts, we know the foos large probably wouldn't float. that would be suspicious. the winds are large, thin on the end. graceful, actually. it's possible for the sake of the family i hope that it is. it's too early to tell.

the big question is why are they only releasing them now, why publicly to the malaysian authorities, and how did the ship that searched miss it. >> what is your cut. i heard others argue that the pieces are too large, and it doesn't make sense that it would be part of the airplane. >> my gut says we have to wait and see. when i see accidents and cases i worked on, it's widely scattered. it takes the coast guard and the navy weeks and weeks to collect the pieces. literally a flotilla of people. people collect it from all over. it was a widespread debris. then i used to be an aviation professor. planes find them intact rarely, but anything is possible.

my hope is that it is. i'm skeptical at this point. for the families i hope it is. there's so much work to be done. the work has not started. so much confusion, the work of gathering the pieces, doing the residue testing, for the presence of other materials. finding the black bombs and the sad chore and job of remains. >> the eyewitness testimony sounds compelling. the vietnamese searched the area and found nothing. if the oil rig is close enough to where he could have seen an explosion. he talks about fire in the sky. could the plane have come down in large pieces like that? >> it's possible. again, it depends what happened. when i worked the chalks case,

the wing came off. when the wing game you have the fuel caught fire. there was a fireball. it came in two pieces. it wasn't an ex-please if event. when you see it put together, it's amazingly intact once put back together. it's possible, if there was a fireball, i think ooud seed wider dispertion of the debris. >> we hope that for the family's mystery. >> later on you have probably all heard how satellites can rate your cars licence rate. how powerful are they. aircraft. >> now to the gas leak that triggered an explosion.

three people were killed, dozens injuredment the blast was so violent. the tragedy serves as a reminder of the dangerous infrastructure. an average of 27 gas leaks kill an average of in my opinion and injuring 45 more. bill de blasio said the blast occurred 18 minutes after a 911 call about a gas leak. >> there was no warning in advance. this is a tragedy. there was no indication. >> for more we are joined by brieingan mccall. residents on the scene in new york said the blast felt like an earthquake. some smelt gas on tuesday. otherwise there was not a warning. is there any way to tell. systems.

>> there are. but they are very rudimentary. to this day, natural gas is odourless and colourless, and we add an odourizing agent so you can smell it. given the technology you can have is the last thing contenned with is that there's gas out and about. >> normally if you smell the rotten egg smell people should call immediately. >> absolutely, and, you know, i'd like to tell your listeners, if you smell something that smells like rotten eggs, call 911. natural gas leaks can be dangerous. it's a commodity we use. it comes into our homes, heats our homes. we use it to turn on the ovens. if you smell something like that, you shouldn't dismiss it. you should call. >> the explosion cams as utility

companies are grappling with the ageing gas mains, mostly made out of cast iron, some of which date whack to world war ii. the nta is investigating and concerned about the old pipes. let's listen to some of that. >> we had a long-standing concern about cast-iron pipe and we are looking at that. this morning we had a briefing to our staff, talking about a pipeline accident in birmingham, that did involve cast iron pipe. this is something that we are very interested in, we are concerned about. >> we are talking about millions of miles of pipes throughout the united states. obviously, as it did today, it cap lead to tragedy. how can we get rid of the pipes in our cities? >> we have

2.6 million miles of pipeline, enough to wrap around the earth's surface 100 times, more than any other nation. almost 2 million are what we call natural gas distribution lines coming into the neighbourhoods and districts. the boston globe reported that the gas line in the area could date back to 1889. rover cleveland was president. we brought north dakota into the state of union as the 4th date. the difficulty is it's difficult to get access to the lines, and out. >> you have the pipes within the buildings themselves. that adds to the complications. it's been reported that more than 2% of the gas leaks. duke university researchers drove around washington d.c. and

found 6,000 natural gas leaks were out there, including 12 that could have caused explosions. in boston, 3600. six of which were dangerous. with all that going on, it's a miracle that we don't see more of these. >> we need to update the play book. we need to change your the laws and the regulations. all theuality companies should set aside money for improvement programs to go about replacing the lines. we need to leverage and adopt newer technology. we have censors that can detect gas from long distances. industry. >> i thought there was a wake-up call about all of this a few years ago with the gas explosion that killed eight, destroyed 37 homes. was there not enough of a reaction to that? >> i think that was a wake-up call.

that was a 1950s pipeline with a single bad weld in it. my former agency came out saying you have to take a hard look at ageing infrastructure. because it's old doesn't mean it's unsafe, but you have to maintain it and watch for the development around the existing infrastructure, because oftentimes development comes to places that-rural areas. the number one leading cause of pipeline accidents, utility accidents is third party damage. we need tougher laws. there's a lot we can do. it's time to become proactive instead of reaccessory. >> it's worse in older cities. far fewer than in the united states from lightening. are you worried as the infrastructure grows, that that will change your.

>> with cities that have been around. where you have ageing infrastructure, it is an issue. here in phoenix, where we are growing, new infrastructure is going into the ground, it's made out of flexible material. what it means is we have to be vigilant, we have to deploy newer technology. sonar mechanisms, there are things we can do. we have to do that because we have to keep people safe so it doesn't happen again. >> thank you for joining us and giving us your thoughts. >> more deaths in venezuela as there is a call for sanctions against the government. stories. >> we have numbers on an issue

>> the u.s. senate passed a resolution wednesday night condemning the president in venezuela and calling for sanctions against it is regime at deadly violence continues after a month of protests. three more people were killed as

protestors battled government forces throughout the country. at least 25 have died since protests began. a big confrontation took place in the streets of caracas as protestors against the president were blocked by government forces that started using tear gas and water cannons. dozens were reportedly injured. the director of the america's program at the center for strategic and international studies has traveled to the region to work with the governments and state department as the senior advisor on the senate foreign releases committee and joins us. the conflict in venezuela is described very aptly in the new york times showing the president standing with armed venezuelan police saying we are the revolution behind riot gear as the protestors are reduced to tossing stones and holding up signs saying enough. does anyone buy the government line trying to continue to

portray itself as the revolutionary and opposition as extremists, fascists aligned with the united states. >> a lot has changed since the 1990's and 2000's when you had a furry rhett particular like hugo chavez carrying the banner of that revolution. right now you have the streets of the major cities in venezuela in chaos, you have scarcity, you are fear and crime, and you don't have the same sort of stability, i'd say that you did have years ago with mr. chavez. no one would argue that mr. chavez was a controversial leader, but a lot of folks would say well at least he helped poverty between 2002 and 2012.

right now you have people just struggling to have basic rights. the kids that have started this protest started protesting because of crime, and because state institutions weren't doing their job and then other issues came up like the economic issues that are so severe. right now, it seems that the real revolution is being carried out not by he and his supporters, but by the folks that are the students and by other folks claiming basic rights that have to do with economic rights, having to do with doing away with crime and bringing back stability to the every day lives of venezuelans. >> the reliance between venezuela and cuba strengthens. we're hearing from the government that sounds like it comes out of the castro's playbook.

how concerned should web that the country with the largest oil reserves is taking this anti american position? >> the issue is on the one hand, you have a venezuela that has not had problems with keeping its commitments to the united states with regards to oil. on the other hand, instability in venezuela actually means, and venezuela is a member of opec, actually -- and it's one of its biggest price hawks -- actually means that the price of oil actually increases because venezuela is such a large supplier of oil, so the price goes up, because of instability in venezuela, that affects the united states, regardless of how you look at it. the united states right now luckily is producing more of its own energy, gas, petroleum oil, so we're in a better situation than in the past, but to say that this is not an issue that's relevant not just to the united states but other countries in

the region is a mistake. i would add that countries like cuba benefit from venezuelan energy largess, and the more instability in venezuela, the worst for energy stability in cuba. >> paul beban filed a report from where the protests started, opposition forces making large amounts of molotov cocktails, violence has become a daily occurrence. is that hurting the opposition's cause? >> you have the molotov cocktails, but the government is employing the use of russian fighter jets, is employing the use of barricades and using

gangs, street gangs that operate and cause havoc and fear on any protestor that goes out there. so i think that the protestors are really add a disadvantage in the bigger picture as it relates to the government. the government has all the cards in its hands with rewards to these issues. >> let's listen to a couple of protestors. they were masked, i'm not sure hiding identities or protecting against tear gas. >> we are ruled by a particular taterror and media sensor. >> how does this end? when is this going to stop? >> this is going to stop when the president quits, because. >> you want the president to resign. >> yes, we don't -- >> what about negotiating? >> we don't negotiate with people who kill their own people. >> the opposition has its heels

dug in and they're totally outgunned. now the u.s. seems to be kicking in diplomatic efforts, joe biden speaking very aggressively, the senate now unanimously, which rarely happens, talked about the reflex in venezuela and called for sanctions. would sanctions help the opposition? >> i think the sanctions are targeted enough to be significant. they are going after certain individuals, canceling visas, freezing assets. i think that's an appropriate and necessary approach. i think secretary kerry's statements that he would invoke the charter of the o.a.s. is an appropriate and necessary step. what's happening in venezuela is of concern. there are serious regional implications involved in this, implications that have to do with colombia, venezuela's neighbor, venezuela has turned into a narc co state, used to be

known as a petro state, now narc co state, support that venezuela is giving to central america, cuba, and instability that would come about if this situation's not stablized, what the senate has done i think is very smart. i think that going any broader at this pointes be in effective, but going after specific individuals that have a stake in continuing their situation, continue receiving the largess of international investment that they've been able to gain through in many situations corrupt approaches -- >> there's a lot of reported corruption of people who supposedly allegedly have huge accounts outside venezuela. it's an important topic and it's great to have you on the show, thank you. >> thanks for inviting me. >> switching to the crisis in

ukraine, ballot boxes were assembled in crimea wednesday for a sunday referendum that could see the region split off from ukraine and like lionismed by russia. president obama assured that ukraine had america's support and russia would pay a price for its actions in crimea. >> we have been very clear that we consider a russian incursion into crimea outside of its bases to be a violation of international law, of international agreements of which russia is a signatore and a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. >> for more, i'm joined from washington, d.c. by christian carl, seen nor fellow at the mit center for international studies. president obama told the acting

prime minister wednesday that the u.s. stands with ukraine ensuring its territorial integrity and sovereignty, saying russia would face casts if it violates international law with crimea and ukraine. does it have any value beyond moral support. >> it was all about moral support. ukraine is not a nato member and it has no prospect of becoming one any time soon, so the actual military means of responding to what russia has done are quite limited. nobody have called for anything like a military response. yes, it really is about moral support. we can help out on the money side, because ukraine is about to go broke. we've approved a billion dollars worth of loan guarantees for them which is a drop in the bucket and today, the g7, the

club of wealthy countries which russia is not only a part of, the other countries in the club came out with a statement today telling russia to stop what it's doing and that has a certain degree of power, but i doubt very much that's going to dissuade mr. putin. >> warning russia that this referendum on crimea which might lead to the annexation of russia was a direct violation of ukraine's constitution and because of a lack of adequate preparation and continuing presence of russian troops, the referendum would have no moral force and the g7 would not recognize the outcome. again, president putin, did moral force, is that something that matters to him when he's deciding on policy? >> i don't think that is. i think what matters to him is traditional power in the form of military power. i think what matters to him especially is money. the united states has authorized

sanctions against individuals in the russian government associated with the invasion of crimea, but the problem is that our european allies aren't quite willing to go that far and in fact places like london are heavily dependent on the in flow of russian finance and balking at the idea of sanctioning specific people. unless we can get on the same page, i doubt even that is going to amount to much. >> secretary of state kerry is going to immediate with his russian counter part in london. is anything going to come out of that? >> one of the interesting little side stories here has been that kerry has been trying to get a meeting with him for a couple of days now and he has been consciously staying away from that. he's been consciously avoiding kerry, and that seems to be because putin wants to keep the initiative in his own hands, doesn't want any other

diplomatic channels to be active in anyway, so i think that putin's strategy is to keep all of the channels, all of the levers of power in his own hands for the moment, probably given very, very clear instructions about how to act on friday. i'm not sure, i really doubt it will amount to anything. >> is sunday's referendum a done deal, crimea will be a part of russia within a matter of weeks? the actual question being asked in the referendum doesn't give them the option of saying no. >> that is correct. i think it is a done deal. i think everybody knows that. russia has thousands of troops on crimea, there were thousands there before they even started moving troops in, so there's very little that the west can do, that the ukrainian government can do. the ukrainian government's military is limited and it's stated that it's not going to use force in the case of crimea

because that probably wouldn't help very much, might only just escalate the situation, so yeah, i really don't see what practically the outside world can do, the question is will this referendum if the voters approve it and if they do, they will bring crimea into the russian federation, will that be a good thing for putin and russia i kind of wonder. >> how concerned about you about escalation, russian troops are only a few hours away from kiev, the ukrainians have moved troops north of kiev. do you think it could escalate to something even worse? >> this is why the situation is very dicey because the situation like this where you have troops in a standoff against other troops, it's a very, very tricky and delicate situation. i have actually be i think with a lot of other observers been very impressed by the ukrainians restraight even when the

military bases in crimea have been surrounded by russian forces, they've generally not given in, but they also haven't used weapons to resist. i think the ukrainian government is very intent on avoiding provocation, anything that would act as a spark, and that's probably wise. >> is this a warning to nations bordering on russia with russian speaking minorities that they could be next? you wrote a column that pretty much made fun of this putin doctrine that he could pretty much go into london and followed what he said he would do to protect russian speaking people around the world. >> yeah, that's a big question. you know, putin's russia has already intervened on behalf of allied minorities and russian speakers in other parts of the soviet union. when this latest crisis began, i was interested to know that

kazakhstan on russia's southeast flank issued a statement saying they hold that this new union that president putin wants to create from the former republics, said we want to emphasize, we think this is going to be for economics and trade and the unspoken implication was we also have a lot of russian speakers, don't start messing around with our russian speakers, too. that's one of putin's friends. if your friends are worried, that says something. >> very serious situation. good to have you on the show, thanks for your time. >> crimean tartars were exiled from their region by satisfactory jet dictator during world war ii. this thursday at 3:00 p.m. eastern time and sunday at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, aljazeera will air return from compile, a documentary on the tartar's struggle to reclaim their lands and home from

russia. time now to see what's trending. let's check back in with hermela. >> we talked about the rise of adhd related prescriptions and today got new numbers. a report by the nation's largest prescription drug manager found between 2008 and 2012, the number of americans using prescription drugs to treat adh d-rose 26%. among women between the ages of 26 and 34, adhd related prescriptions went up 85% two we can eight and 2012 yukon twitter says: these numbers reignite the

debate about whether the increase in prescriptions is because of increased awareness or over diagnose. brandon says: you can read more about the report on the website. back to you. >> straight ahead, exorcisms are not just the stuff of movies. le catholic church seeing a big increase. >> wall street made more money last year. why did they pay themselves a lot more? the power and limitations of satellites being used in the search for the missing malaysian jetliner. malaysian

airliner. as pope francis's first year as pontiff comes to a close, praise is almost universal. the more humble pope is facing a difficult change your - a rise in claimed cases of demonic possession. and the church is reportedly increasing the number of priests at trains to perform excorsisms. joining us is father vince lambert, the exor cyst for indiana, and the pastor in center grove. he is a member of the international association of exor cysts. most people have their

perception of what an exor cyst is. the right, the excorsism of emily rose, portrayed at violent confrontations. having people with spinning heads, speaking in tongues. it's not what an official excorsism by the church is like. >> no, not at all. a true excorsism is a prayer by the church. aritual performed. when the determination has been made. it is a series of procedures. it is true that there can be manifestations of evil that will take place, but the best way to thing of an exor sim is a prayer of the church. what, if anything do the

movies get right.. >> they play to an audience that likes the theet at ricks. in reality, that's far removed from what a true exorcism is about, prefers refer people to doctors. what do you do to determine if, under - if it's something that the catholic church would deem a real possession, and the person needs an exor cyst. >> an excorcist relies on people in the mental health field, to determine the physical cause. and they are asked to weigh in on whether or not there's something about this person expertise. >> there's a belief that there does exist - that there are

possession, and there are different types of possessions. the clvern believes that evil is personified. sometimes people view evil as nothing nor than humanity's inhumane treatment. the church has a different view of that. there can be different levels of demonic activity. there can be vexation, physical attacks that person can go there. there can be obsession, meantal attacks, and then demonic possession itself. so infestation, vexation, and obsession would be the lesser degrees of demonic activity. >> when you became an exor cyst in 2005. you were the 12th in the united states, and now there are more than 50. reports are that there has been

acceleration, because there has been a lot of requests for them. increase? >> i think the increase is people say it's a greater sense of evil in the world. i say that i believe that the increases are because people are more fascinated with evil, they are tabling with things. they can open up an entry point to evil. the church recognises if it doesn't address the issue people will turn elsewhere for the answers that they are looking for. excorsisms should be rooted in pastoral care and faith. it needs to take place within the confines of a church. >> a reason mentioned for the increase is what you said, there has been a rise in satanism and black magic and the occult arts. how - what have you seen? what is - have you seen extreme cases where you are convinced there's a demonic possession.

>> yes, after working with experts in mental health and the physical area, have made a determination to perform an exorcism. exorcism is rare, but they happen and i have probably down five over the course of nine years that i have been involved in the ministry. >> is part of the reason something that you referred to, that we are seeing an increase in people selling them as exor sifts outside the church, or those that are not out there to make a buck. seems like there's a growth of people. it's not linked with faith, so ultimately the professionals cannot provide the relief that these people are looking for. they may provide temporary relief, but long-term care of

neglected. >> what would you say to non-catholics who say this is crazy. >> catholics would tell you that all of this is crazy. the reality is that it's not knew to modern times for people to doubt the reality of evil. many people doubt the reality of god. a common theme is a clash twine the kingdom of good and satan. there are many people that think that exorcism is a throw back to the middle ages, back to the time of christ when mental health issues were not understood. once again, it can be extreme whereby it would be a need. >> we appreciate you talking about it. >> you're welcome. >> ahead - wall street's profits

>> as the search for missing malaysia airlines flight 370 continues, the effort has been crowd sourced. the earth imagery company digital globe started on online campaign, where people can log on and inspect imagery of the search area to help look for signs of the name. the chinese government released pictures of their own that they say may show signs of debris. how powerful are the satellites that fly over our head. let's bring in dr derek pitts from the franklin institute science museum. how accurate are the hollywood and spy novel depictions. the movies make it seem like they can read licence plates, newspapers, and the reality is

that on our computers we can look at google earth and see detailed images of our houses. if they are that powerful. why have they not been more interested in finding the airplane. >> the question is how do we bring it to bear. where do we tell the satellites to look. it's not clear where the airplanes went down. when you look at an ocean surface the reality is that the ocean surface is enormous, truly enormous, and an object as large as an aeroplane from a great distance covers a small portion of what you see when you look down. >> with great magnification that helps. you have to be able to pinpoint where it looks. so if a location can be identified. maybe it can help. >> 30 years ago tom clansry

wrote "hunt for red october", he described how satellites could tect the heat generated by a submarine. they could detect it from under water and a pod of wales. if there's that infrastructure technology, couldn't that help source? >> you know, if this it were employed after the aircraft went down, that would have helped. if the aircraft went into the ocean, the whole aircraft has cooled off down to the temperature of the o. there's not much difference in heat signatures. detecting heat can pick out slight differences in temperature between objects, even at a great distance. but it helps to know where to look, and there's technologies that could be used like radar

penetrating ocean service, and radar can penetrate ground surface and see subsurface structure. maybe it could have been used also. it's a question of where do we look, how soon can we get in to look at it. >> there's other limitations, cloud and others. you've seen the pictures that china released. resolution is low, lower than the images than in the crowd-sourced search images in what google earth can do. is china holding back on the resolution of the pictures. >> i think that all the major world powers that have satellites looking at the earth have tremendous capability to see in high detail. what we see on google earth is a great representation of how powerful the technology is.

when you think of the satellites that countries use to look on other countries, their capabilities will be an order of magnitude greater. they can see the make and models of cars and other details. but will they admit they have that capability. we won't reveal it to other countries that we have it. other countries won't. it may be a question of getting the information through other channels, but not communicating what the truly value is. >> i want to change your topics, a team of astronomers found evidence that changes how we believe that galaxies were formed in the early universe. >> yes, this is interesting. if you imagine 12 billion years ago. 2 billion years after the beginning of a solar system.

someone used a microwave oven to flash cooked galaxies, they seemed to have come to maturity faster then they do. this is causing astronomers what could cause these galaxies to accelerate faster than others. >> does it do anything to the explanation of the big bang and how the universe started? >> it gives us pause to wonder about the early history of the universe. we wonder if other galaxies are slow to mature. how is it that they could come to maturity. what does it tell us about the state of the university verse, itself. >> good to have you on the show. >> the show may be over, but the

conversation continues. aljazeera.com/considerthis. we'll see you next time. >> welcome to aljazeera america. i'm del walters and these are the stories we're following for you. the latest on the search for malaysia flight 370. newly discovered engine data showed that the plane could have been flying for four more hours after its last known location. the intercession of crimea. and there are concerns, u.s. border patrols are going too far. people taking matters in a their own hands.
