is. ♪ with a look at today's top stories. the search for flight 370, now extended to the indian ocean. transmissions after the plane disappeared. and begin real negotiations. and a texas town that says it is under attack, by a cult.

six days after the aaron flight 370 vanishes there is no signing of the plane. and the 239 people onboard, there are few facts and many theories about what may have happened to the aircraft. the malaysia military says radar data shows the plane making a you turn and heading west. a wall street journal report claims the plane's communication system sent transmissions after the plane disappears. and the families of the passengers say they have called their relatives cell phones, and that those phones are ringing. lisa stark is in washington, d.c. with us. a lot of developments today, what are you hearing? >> well, tony, first of all, as you said mrs. no sign of this jet. this many days after it vanished. it is a huge mystery, unprecedented one aviation follower said to me, the search area may now be expanding.

they were searchin searchin that original area. that's when the flight path would have taken it. they are not sure, so they are expanding the search westward, they are looking toward the indian ocean, here is white house spokes mapp. >> it is my understanding that based on new information, that's not necessarily conclusive, blue new information, an additional search area may be open. and we are consulting with international partners about the appropriate assets to deploy. one of those the u.s.s. kid, one of two navy destroyers looking for wreckage in the area. they are expanding this essential area, that is a lot of water to cover. >> it is.

we understand that the president of boeing had some words for the families today. >> he did. and the families as you can imagine are in such a tough spot. and the president said he couldn't except directly, but speaking on capitol hill, here is what he did have to say. >> to the passengers and the crew on malaysian airline, though we do not know the cause of the disappearance. we are doing everything we can to sustain a say system. >> everything still remains on the table, even as they are looking at this very confusing evidence that it may have stays in the area for

hours. this is based on information that satellites were picking up from the plane communication system, all still very confusing and uncertain. pawed, what do you make of the reporting claiming that the planes engines continue to send transmissions after the plane disappears? >> well, i say that that's a distinct possibility, because that technology certainly exists. and the engine manufacturer rolls royce does have agreements with various airline to have engine information transmitted during flight. so it's conceivable that that happened here. i am being told that it is satellite france missions can you clear this up for me? >> yes, the information gets from the airplane to

the manufacturer in this case rolls rose, by various means and sometimes satellite communications are used to relay the data. and in this particular case, again, it is a specific agreement that the manufacturer would have with the airplanes. what if any information would be sent. >> who receives this information? >> welt, again, this is not something that is required by the national aviation authorities. this is something that is done by the. >>ers of engines and other aircraft components. >> okay. >> that have maintenance data. >> so todd, let me take a step back here.

or is that something of a false narrative that is developing taking hold in the absence of anything really sol toyed go on. it is a question of what information can they actually confirm to be true. and what information can they share without violating any agreements or other issues that can be going on in the background, and without getting to complex, this is a situation where several organizations within malaysia, several organizations outside of malaysia, several national governments are involved all exchanging information. and it's easy to see how some things can be

confused a long the way. >> some statements seem as though they are not telling the truth. >> you believe all of these entities are working toward one goal, and that is to find this aircraft. in this investigation, they are basically dealing on a government to government basis. they can't relay that directly to the malaysia government, they will rely it to the investigation, and they will in turn rely it to the malaysian government. so there can be some delays. >> appreciate it. our aviation consultant here.

my country has faced a military aggression of the neighboring country which is a d 5 member. this aggression, has no reasons and no grounds this is absolutely and entirely unacceptable in the twenty-first century, to resolve any kind of conflict artillery, and buttes on the ground. >> josh joins us live, he was direct, and forcible, he was to the point. >> he was. that's the way to be. brief city, and that's what we learned when he appears before the scouter council. the world body in charge of looking after peace and security. he said he thought the interim government was there a chance to urge

this peacefully. and he said he want to have any talks we don't want any kind of military aggression. he also raised the aggression of the former nuclear arsenal. the third big nest the world, when it became independent in 1991, it gave that up, in return for guarantees to the rest of the world. we the russian neighbors and i believe if we start real talks with russia, they could be real partners acting undermines the entire global security and nuclear program. as after these actions it would be very difficult to convince anyone in the globe not to have nuclear weapon. >> now, the russians say this interim government that the interim prime minister represents is not an official

government, and therefore, you can't take what he says to heart. now, samantha power who is the u.s. ambassador to the united nations said look, that invasion of the crimea is illegal. once more it is extremely dangerous. >> if we don't come together, and if we don't send a clear signal, we will live with the consequences in crimea and well beyond. we will look back and wish we had come together with a unified voice before the consequences became zero and innocent lives were lost. of course there's the security council that is on going, and there's a resolution, do we have time to talk about that. >> sure. >> this is being put together, they wanted to go a couple of days ago, and they decided there were technical issues as

it is known here among the permanent 5. they couldn't agree when the timing would be right. the french wanted to put this resolution condemning russia forward before the vote in the crimea on sunday. either on friday or on saturday. so they want to get it absolutely right. they think the timing is right now. and the sole intention is basically to corner russia and embarrass russia in the eyes of the rest of the world. they think they can get the chinese one of the permanent members to abstain, and so therefore, you will have 13 council members voting in favor of the resolution, the chinese abstaining and the russians of course losing their veto. but the western diplomates think that will show the rest of the world how isolated russia is.

regarding it's encouragement, and of course that send as signal. john, thank you, on the ground, members of a pro russia biking gain have arrived to urge residents who support the on coming. a pro rug biker gain, jennifer. >> that's right, tony. the u.n. can do what it wants to but on the ground, it's becoming more and more clear that basically the fact on the ground, the people here think the referendum is a done deal, and coming into this week, an unlikely week that has the eyre of the kremlin. a motorcycle gang with close ties to the clem

lynn. who will vote on whether to rejoin russia. >> for me it is one country. one territory, one mother land. that was divided by traitors. which no one gave them the right to do against the will of the people. >> leader alexandar was born in ukraine. his mother used to work with the soviet fleet here. he now lives in moscow, and is missed international credit similar of the vote. >> no one knew it would happen so quickly, but we knew it was inevitable. europe wanted or america wanted it doesn't matter. this is going to happen, we all know that. they say sunday's referendum is a dream come true. the reunification with russia for years. a pageant worthy of an

olympic ceremony, that blame the r the break up, and vowed the wolves would reunite. he lamented his lost. he has a fan and a friend in president putin. 40 rides with him, and gave him his medal of honor for the work with the youth. on the streets only prorussian bill bards have appeared. fascism or russia says this one. of all the people i meet, i haven't seen one person who is scared. >> but sergei is, he says he has been threatening for flying the ukrainian flag, and told it would be better for him to leave, he called the referendum a farce. >> it's just to show europe and the united states that it's democracy, but it's already decided just a formality, and sadly with

all these troops here, nobody can protest. even on awaked they welcome their support and their message, but soon this will be russia again. al jazeera. ukraine. and what place will it have in a world community that objected to it's birth. >> jennifer glass for us, thank you. james joins us now, he is deputy director of an organization called the american institute in ukraine, james, good to see you again. >> you too. >> do you believe there is time to work out an agreement that deescalates this situation.

>> i don't think so. not in the sense that it will change what is likely to happen sunday. and i think the very strong possibility that the vote will be in favor of joining russia, and that russia will accept that vote, and that -- i think that's considered by most people. >> russia accept accepts te vote, and then what happens in what happens to the military? what happens to the currency? what ans after the vote? >> that's the real question, because all the problems that have divided ukraine from the east and the west, and the regional and political conflicts we saw playing out on the streets, from november through february, those aren't going away. ukraine's economic problems aren't going away, the likelihood of ukraine's default on the international commitments is not going to go away. in fact, they are going to be exacerbated. so sooner or later -- probably sooner those problems will have to be addressed by both europe and russia, and hopefully with some positive input from the united states. >> is russia going to

bank roll crimea? >> yes -- ukraine, no. if it becomes part of russia, it is part of russia from their point of view. i don't think anybody has enough money to bank roll ukraine. does russia want eastern ukraine? >> i think if things went terribly wrong, and conflict erupted that might be something they would look at. i think they are looking at square one. have proposed something like -- i don't think they want necessarily a prorussian ukraine, but they don't want an anti-russian ukraine. >> if they want somethings that's quasi russia, russia friendly, in terms of the government, why not just pick up the phone play the role of the adult in

the room, talking to people who you don't think are legitimate. basically concedes that what they see as a coupe, as one side taking over and dictating to the rest of ukraine has legit mated itself, and has the authority to take ukraine in a unipolar western direction. which is what they don't want. >> james, appreciate it, good to talk to you. >> thank you. >> coming up, general motors admitting it knew three years earlier than it disclosed the the effect in it's cars now linked to 12 deaths. and the look inside the small texas town that says it is under assault from a group they call a cult.

at my heart out. >> pastor maddox says they are just one of many families from around the country. 40 have come looking for loved ones who joined the group. >> most all of these people are very intelligent. they have come from very good strong family backgrounds. >> what would make someone like that break? is. >> keep them weak in their body. weak in their mind. >> the fbi says the church is on the agency's radar. local police have investigated the death of a three-day-old infant born to a church member in 2012. according to a statement from the child's father, he and other church members did not seek medical treatment for the baby, because they believed she would be resurrected. the grand jury decided not to press charges. >> that's not faith that's not godly. >> what is senate. >> i would call it murder. >> we want to give you --

let you explain some of p pas the false assumptions about you? >> no, i don't want to give any comment. >> a chunk member who did not wish to be add fied says the allegations are false. >> they make these people look like they are monsterring and they are not. they are just regular people like you and i. >> they can come across as very polite. but also the most judgmental and at times hostile people i have ever met. i hope they leave. >> for now, the church of well withs is staying put, while distraught families continue to search for answers. >> heidi joe castro, al jazeera, wells texas. >> we will follow the path of kathryn groves. her family said she disappeared and was later traced to the church of wells. okay, on wall street, a positive start turns very

situation? the fact is it had to have a case on it somewhere. in preproduction, when they are working on the sat terns they found there was a problem with the ignition switch. the manufacturer of the switch at the time, said we will come with a replacement, they did, and it was still very problems. sadly they went out to production, and now we have 1.6 million cars worldwide, over 1.3 million cars just in north america, 13 deaths and untold accidents. and unfortunately, this falls on g.m. for one -- not coming down on this earlier, of course they were in a bad position,

think about it, 2004, 2005, and they made a replacement switch, but until then, they could have said something. they were in financial struggles. >> that's right. >> the government took them over. with our tax dollars and the problem was if this had got to the press. think about it, back in that time, when all the. >>ers were struggling this could have been a nail in the coffin of g.m. >> and now in charge of the c.e.o., and she has to take the bull by the horns. the products are there. but $500 downing on a car is only a small bandage on a very large problem, this is not over with. this is going in front of the government, you have justice department involved and a lot of other senators standing up and saying -- probably not the senators from michigan but others in washington will definitely stand up and make a sting about this.

and i think the problem is g.m. will take the brunt of it, when part of this belongs oen the national highway safety administration for just somehow it didn't get to them. >> yes. >> the information didn't, they didn't ask for more. and we as consumers are paying the price. we have deaths involved here. this is not something that is just something similar. >> and thing that is not going away any time soon. >> an automotive analyst, and foundser of automotive aspects. china says ma la sha's government is -- is that a fair accusation. we will devil into that with a former ambassador to malaysia, and one jeer since pope francis was elected we will look at the differences it has made for the church.

program

the ruling national front coalition, has been in power since then. critics say the government is not tran parent, because it does not need to be. when it comes to freedom of press, but the government does have a vested injury in the faith of the airline. may lashay owned more than 50% of the company. he is a former u.s. ambassador to malaysia, and served as deputy assistant secretary of state. good with do speak with you, thank you for your

time. >> what kind of a job do you think malaysia is doing in a very difficult situation in respond to this tragedy. >> i think it is fair, that malaysia has been singled out for criticism. i think it is doing more than a competent job. it hasn't faced this intense scrutiny in the past. >> there is the sense there has been statements and retracted here is a statement today, and then taken back the next day. that has led to the general impression, that for they are not fully on top of it, maybe it's because they don't have gate people in these positions making these calls, what do you think of that as a criticism? >> i think it isn't so much the personalities

ass the the evolution. ins a country that has been blessed with the absence of natural disasters. no volcanos that sort of thing, and they haven't been put in a situation the vetting of facts all that goes into managing these events. the united states has faced it's own problems. they are not immune to blobbization, they need more exposure, and this kind of scrutiny will help them improve. i think in terms of the actual operation of searching for the aircraft, and again the operation of the united nations, one can see them doing reasonably well, they have not communicated well though. >> you do acknowledge that. this' been heavy criticism from china on the handling of the situation. do you find -- i guess i understand that from a

public relations -- you have to speak to the people in your country, and the family of those that are waiting for news, but do you find that harsh criticism credible? >> i think you are right. to point do the human dimensions of the story. of course everyone's hards go out to the families and what they are going through. but i think the problems that china is pointing to, are reflective of china's own maturation as a political society. that the existence of civil society, the freedom of expression, the freedom of the press, the ability for the government to be challenged is part of what we are talking about here. malaysia has had the benefit of nothing being challenged directly. up until recently, when an opposition has formed. so these are the kind of skills that politicians develop through experience. and both china and malaysia, lack that kind

of experience. >> so ambassador keith, given the harsh criticism, some of the tough criticism from the way this has been handled. given some of the narratives that are playing out in the prez around the world, about the way malaysia is handling this, and even as you acknowledged that it could be doing a better job at communicating. do you believe that the country is doing all it can? is kind of the default position here, to find this plane? >> i think the prime minister has that cabinet highly motivated. one, this just points toward the need for greater integration of the malaysian economy, and more exposure for it's political leadership, and two, it points to far from the military issues going on, the need for vietnam and malaysia, other countries in southeast asia to work together on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief and search and

rescue. not as a military option, but through their coast guards and their civilian entities they need to have better plans in place, for when this kind of contingency arising. >> james keith, answer as assistant deputy of state for china, great to speak with you, thank you. >> my pleasure, thank you. >> israeli air strikes and palestinian rocket adabbings have been flying back and forth, can despite claims of a cease fire, the israeli -- spark the tense exchange, the believed target is the group islamic jihad. kimberly has the latest. >> it's been an intense couple of days between the two sides. with reports of more rockets fired from gaza on thursday into southern israel. after the israeli military fired earlier on at least 29 targets in gaza. >> everybody is afraid, we didn't speak. >> it is obvious there

should be rocketing fires against israel. that's what we are used to in the strip. >> the israeli military says the action were a response to the armed group. the israeli leader had warned of a response to what it called islamic jihad's aggression. >> at this moment, the israeli armies responding with force to the fighting on the citizens. if they won't be kawai brett in the south, there will be noise in gaza, and that is a understatement. i call on residents of the south to act according to instructions. the israeli military will get the job done. 90 rockets after israeli air strikes on tuesday killed three of its members. palestinian authority president condemned the actions of both sides.

rockets were fired yesterday from gaza into israel, and israel has -- including rockets. we have a straight do the british prime minister that we are key to reach for solution, that will return a chief security and stability in the region. >> the attacks from both sides are being seen as the greatest escalation of violence since 2012, when the cease fire was signed after an eight day conflict. kimberly, al jazeera, jerusalem. >> in nigeria, gunman have killed at least 40 people in a series of attacks because of a dispute over land. statement officials say men, women, and children were killed in four villages across the north rival clans have regularly fallen for control over the farmland and grazing areas for cattle. in sudan, the united nations believed more than 100,000 people have fled their homes after increased violence, in the past six weeks.
