waj and i will see you next time. ♪ >> good evening, everyone. welcome to al jazeera. stepped up threats, the u.s. warns about a serious reaction should russia take over the crimea region. confusion and false hope, the search for the flight is expanding to the indian association. and gm under fire from the grieving relatives for a recall announced years too late.

and controversy surrounding the church of wells, is it a house of god or some say a cult. >> we have the latest on the missing jet liner in a moment. first to the crisis in ukraine. concerns just three days away from a vote. what next. serious consequences if russia doesn't back down. the u.n. was told that the country is facing unacceptable aggression and russian troop build up along the border and moscow is doing military exercises and russia is

maintaining control of crimea. nick? >> john, good evening, the russian presence is increasing and all of the pressure is growing greater every day and the grip on crimea that russia has is growing tighter and creating a lot of anxiety here and that goes for everyone. on a peninsula, a camera man is running out of fear for his life and down the road, deeply worried crimeians are running a bank, these are the days of doubt. in 72 hours they are deciding whether to join russia and the apprehension going from savings to safety. there are violent tension in a place there is supposed to be order. on a military base outside of

crimea, those are pro russians on the far side and inside of the gate ukrainian soldiers. at first, both sides are using wooden weapons and then... that's a reinvolver. and the side, the militia members are threatening the camera man and the camera man takes off. for weeks pro russians targeted, harassed and kidnapped the journalists for exposing the russian ouk you pags and this time the cameraman escapes and they describe the incident as they drive away. but the militia captured a man that didn't get away. >> especially journalist that write or film the truth and

telling the world what is going on and the terrible things that are happening. >> outside, hundreds of people are with drawing their money after hearing a rumor that the crimea banks will be nationalized. >> there is a limit of $50. >> they are admitting they are struggling to keep the cash on hand to meet the demands and the customers are seizing the time left before the referendum. >> people are worrying and that is why we have a line. >> here a journalist's presence is no longer welcomed. despite the risks, she's going to do the job, because right now it is more than a job, it is a sort of a national duty. >> i never thought that because of the conditions i would ukraine even more. this is my country. my mother land.

i'm scared what they are doing to it. >> nobody knows if the fear will end soon, or weather it just begun. >> o we are expecting to seeing rallying on both of the sides and intimidation against those pro ukrainians and boycott on the ukraine side for the referend referendum. many people here are saying that it is anything but free or fair. >> it is sounding like based on the reports a sense of desperation there. can you tell us how they are prepare iffing for the events in the coming days? >> well, i think on one side you are seeing a lot of people on the streets pro russians and flags and pro russian activists and militias that are em

boldened by the troops and on the other side expecting a pro ukrainian rally tomorrow and that is the end of the prevenns on the streets and many are saying they are going to boycott the rev republican dun and a majority of the people voting for russia and the west calling less than free and fair. >> nick, thank you. the russian government has stepped up the troop presence near the ukrainian border and ra shell is here with the story. >> the cities bordering the ukraine and confirming 8500 russian troops are taking part in a series of drilling and troops were seen firing rifles and grenades. a statement on the website

confirmed the exercises had begun and didn't detail how long they are expected to last. the exercises raised concerns in ukraine and among the western political powers. there is a warning of a ka trofk fee unless russia and the troops pull back. >> it would massive consequences for russia economically and politically. >> just last night in ukraine a man was killed and dozens were injured during a fight in a russian speaking city. the russian president presidenten is asserting the right to protect the russians inside of ukraine and the russian troops seized control of the military bases in crimea and pro russian defense units joined in armed and today they took the

oath to the regional government. that is the latest, john. >> thank you. now, the u.s. is still seeking a diplomatic solution and john kerry warned russia that the clock is ticking. if no sign of moving forward and resolving issue there is a very serious serz of steps. >> john kerry is expected to meet the foreign minister in london tomorrow. we have a senior advisor at the security network, hi, heather. >> hi, john. >> tough talk from john kerry today and what are the options for the u.s.? >> reflecting there is new

agreements and toughness coming out of europe as well, the u.s. has already along with the european partners announced it is noting go g-8 meeting at the leading economic powers that putin was looking to host later the year. the next steps will involve some combination of personal sanctions on the russian government and they are able to travel or send their families to u.s. or europe and the financial assets could be seized and the financial sanctions which would badly hurt the russian exports and the big businesses on the stock market and hurting the business businessmen that are with putin and getting them to put the pressure on him. that is what they are indicating today. >> other than that though, what else? i mean, if the people of crimea

vote and by large numbers vote to join russia, it sounds as if very limited action that the u.s. can take. >> there are limited direct responses that the u.s. can take. the black sea where the crimea pe licensed na is located is a russian lake. there is not a military response and the voices are calming down here and recognizing that. but the financial steps i talked about people are talking about it impacting of 8, 9 percent from the national income in a year, and that is significant as you can imagine a military action having. that is not nothing. it is not immediate. >> i want to respond to that. i mean, it seems to me that russia could cut the natural gas to europe off. >> that is what the russians said today. it is spring and so gas demand in europe is dropping rapidly

and putin can cause short term disruptions with the tit for tat, but not having the long term ability to hurt europe. >> how does this affect the credibility of the united states right now? >> it is not great. you know, you never want to see an agreement that the u.s. is a party to like in 1994 and guaranteeing the borders of ukraine violated and as someone that believes words have meaning and international law has meaning it is not giving me great pleasure to say that the united states has nothing specific to do about it. and what is important to say that the codes were in moscow and point of fact, the ukrainians wouldn't have been able to use them with confidence in a situation like this, and it is still a good deal for them, but a terrible blow, well a

terrible blow to the prestige and presenting as less oppressive than the united states? >> do you believe that puts russia in a worse like than now? >> well, it is doing two things, it is putting russia in a worse like with global public opinion, but this is not global public opinion, this is putin's backyard and he doesn't care not enough to do what he's done, the question is whether this is all part of a careful plan or as many have said he's a little flying by the seat of the pants and looking for, looking for a way, looking for an excuse to deescalate and the combination of the pressure and impacting the russians and the meeting this weekend gives him the offering. >> heather, nice that you are back. >> thank you. >> missing malaysia flight.

>> one of the most confusing questions did the plane keep flying, was the jet in the air for hours after the plane disappeared from the radar, and al jazeera confirmed reports reported by the wall street journal that the investigators are looking into this and whether the systems continued to operate. the malaysiiian officials refutd that. >> those reports are inaccurate. >> it turns out now what may have been the case is that the electronic signal from the monitoring system continued to be picked up by satellites but not the actual engine data

itself, that could mean that the plane was still in the air but someone disabled part of the monitoring system. what is the jumbo jet? some a 43 ships and aircraft are scouring the china sea. and then the other side of the malaysiian peninsula with the possibility of the plane ache making a u-turn and now looking further to the west. >> bazed on new information an additional search area could be opened in the indian ocean a. >> heading closer to the indian ocean, the u.s.s. kidd, is anything off the table? litter data and days fruitless searching nothing is crossed off a the list, not mechanical

problems, not pilot error and not terrorism. on capitol hill, boeing is saying that the company is looking for answers. boeing has joined with the ntsb and we have a team on the ground and it is a high priority for us. >> it is like searching for a needle in the hay stack without knowing the location of the hay stack. >> the captain is joining us from arizona and he's a former american airlines pilot, and captain, welcome back. >> thank you, john. >> let me ask you about the monitoring, the electronic monitoring with the engines and how do they work? >> well, actually they are just designed to provide maintenance information about how the engine is performing, whether it is within the limits and any

problems that could be there to dete detect early and when the plane lands they'll have the parts and the technicians with the tools and whatever else to eliminate the time on the ground because of maintenance. that is what they are for. but i have to say to you, when still broadcasting, they are broadcasting in a very interesting way. they gather information and kind of condense it into i call it packets and the packets can be secured and stay in electronic compartment until time to send them down to the line to the airline and the maintenance facilities and to the airplane manufacturer or whoever else. because it comes out in packets and because the packets can be saved for a while, there's not ,

there's not a lot of concern whether that engine was operating or not at the time this was transmitting the information. >> you don't think it was, is that what you are saying? >> no. there is room for understanding that as if the engines were giving real time data one item at a time throughout the flight. >> that particular monitoring system is useful in finding air france, how would it do that? >> i'm not sure i know. i don't know what the engines only air france were doing. i know enough about these engines to know they have the packets they send. but they are not giving a sense of direction. they just make it clear that the engine is maintained at a certain level and going from there. that is something that the folks

at rolls royce have to address. >> we hear about the transponder and have you ever turned that off? >> not once. not even think about turning that off. it is a safety device of automatically making it possible for the air traffic controllers see our plane on the scope and altitude and all of the details for navigation, if you turn that off, that information is not available to the air traffic controllers. i would never turn that off. >> why would any pilot turn that off? >> i don't know why one would do that. again, we don't know what the pilots were really trying to accomplish on this flight. we don't know why they would make a turn they did make. we don't why the radar return was maintained for a while and

then dropped out of sight. we don't know if it was flown under the radar and giving the impression it is out of sight and of course maybe crashed. so the thing is, and i think i told you this yesterday, i really don't know and i don't know who does, whether that airplane crashed any where. >> you know, you laid that out well, there is a lot we don't know. we continue to follow this story. captain, we are appreciate the help in explaining the devices and how they work. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> for more information on flight 370, log on to the special flight 370 section on our website. >> now people on a u.s. airways flight in philadelphia had to make an emergency evacuation after a flight tire. nobody was hurt.

it was headed to fort lauderdale. >> coming up next, what gm knew and when. >> a young woman disappears from the home and they found her brainwashed. we are in texas and what many are calling a new and dangerous cult.

>> gm is saying it was aware of the ignition issues years earlier than previously acknowledg acknowledged. they are saying it was detected as early as 2001. the switch linked to several deaths and accidents. the investigators are looking to why they were slow to report the data. the data is shows that 303 people died after the air bags failed to deploy on two of the models recalled for the ignition problems last month. mary and leo are joining us from philadelphia. their daughter kelly was killed in 2010 and driving a 2005 chevy

cobalt. welcome. >> thank you. >> and i'm so sorry for your loss. tell me what you think about the recall and what it means to you. >> if you are talking about the latest developments, it is so hard to keep track. at the beginning of the week they knew since 2004, now all of a sudden they know since 2001. so what is a person supposed to believe and if they do send us any kind of information from the black box, is it accurate? is it believable? i have no faith.

leo, do you believe this caused your daughter's death? >> yes, i do. so many issues with this vehicle and when we first bought the vehicle, mary can speak better about it, she was driving it and the vehicle was bucking on her. >> do you want me to tell it? i had taken the car from a restaurant where myself and my husband and another couple had been and i took the woman that was part of the other couple in the car to stop at my house for something, i don't remember what now, and on the way it was bucking and it was just hesitating and acting very

strange and i wasn't familiar with the car because the car i had just got it and it was used so i took it to the gas station and i thought maybe i needed to put in a better grade of gas in it and it was still acting strange. it seemed like it was, like the wheels were on skates. that is the only word i can use to describe it. we took it to the mechanic and they said as many other mechanics throughout the country that there was nothing wrong with it. it was something that was undetectable until it went, you know, accident mode when the person was driving it. all has been on, all the different websites is pictures of these cars that have been involved in these accidents,

thaez cobalts and they are not just badly damaged they are catastrophic. i mean these people that were killed in these vehicles, they weren't just killed, it was like something from, it was medieval. it was overkill. >> what do you want gm to do? >> right now we are -- we requested to get the black box off of them. they sent an engineer in from detroit when the accident first happened. >> three people. >> we had contacted them and they led us to believe they would give us the information right away and then wouldn't

release it and have a family friend, an attorney, that is assisting us and he contacted gm about it and they sent some core ponding about it and not given information about is vehicle and what they are saying here is a few people feel there was something wrong and you proof it. they had all these conditions on releasing the information to us to cover themselves. >> it was an air bag module deployment file, something like that, but it did not specify whether the air bag did deploy or not. and when we went down and met

the three general motors representatives, it was the first time we were seeing this car. this car didn't have a scratch on it. and then when they took the black box, when we were done there, of course we were both devastated lookingal this car that once was a beautiful car and i was listening to the people from gm, they were having a conversation off to the side, which they did not want me to be a party to, i thought they can't tell me to get lost and i stood by them and one of the people was an accident reconstructionist and the other person a mechanical engineer and

a paragrapher. and the reconstructionist said don't take this personally. i heard it. i became engaged. >> i know this is very difficult for both of you. we hope you get clarification and we appreciate your time for joining us tonight. >> thank you for having us. >> coming up next, higher standard, a california college no longer accepting investments from companies that make assault weapons. >> night wolves, the russian motorcycle gang hoping to impact the sunday referendum in crimea.

>> welcome back to al jazeera america. a lot of cover, including guns and funds. a clenl is refuses to invest the money into companys that make assault rifles. church or cult? some of the residents in a texas town have concerns about a local

group. >> getting illegal drugs from a lab and are they safer? >> thank you, john. a tough talk about crimea's future. the prime minister taking russia to task. >> my country has faced a military aggression. >> western leaders including john kerry say that russia is facing serious consequences without a compromise. >> 8500 russian troops are conducting drills on their side of the ukrainian border and russian controlled crimea is vote is having the people worried about the security and financial stability. >> day search -- six in the search for the missing airliner and there are reports that the

plane sent electronic transmissions after going missing on the radar. so it may have kept flying four hours after disappearing and could have gone as far as china, india or australia. >> we are joined live from washington with more on that story, lisa, what are you hearing tonight? >> well, john, this really does remain a mystery and very confusing and concerning information coming up this plane and whether it in fact stayed in the air. we know that the transponder stopped working and the equipment on the plane was not sending the location out. we know after the plane dropped from the radar, there were signals coming from the plane picked up by at least two satellites. does that mean that the engines

were turning and the plane operating, that is what the officials are trying to figure out and extending the search into the indian ocean and when they looked at the transmission from the plane picked up by the satellites they were able to calculate and concerned that the plane may have headed west ward to the indian ocean, but more mystery. >> so the search an area is getting bigger? >> it is. in fact, the u.s.s. kidd is moving to the indian oceans and the straits because that is one of the areas it is looking at. this is not along the route that is plane was scheduled to take and this is a huge def yags and indicate that something was wrong. >> lisa, thank you so much. joining us on the telephone the

former chairperson of the ntsb, welcome. >> hello. >> i want to start with the monitoring device on the engines, what do you think that information tells investigators? >> well, first, let me say that we are learning abc on how not to conduct an investigation when all of the leaks come from news sources rather than from an independent gave authority. it is hard to know whose interest is being served in the information being made public. saying that, trying to make a little sense out of what is going on it is clear that investigators are still going to look at a possible criminal act as well an accident and continue down the roads until the

wreckage and the recorders are found. >> so talking about a disgruntled crew member or on the other hand a sort of situation that happened with payne stewart? >> either one. the egypt air and accident in the 90s where both disgruntled, one unclear, we did know on egypt air 7 egyptian generals and the other disgruntled employee part of the flight crew and those two are out there as well as the one with payne stewart and major break down of the function of the systems on the aircraft and lox of oxygen and decompression in the cabin and the plane flew from florida all the way to south dakota

before crashing. >> how much help can the u.s. be in this investigation? >> well, we have our experts over there and i think they are obviously doing everything they can to put a professional edge on what is a very disorganized effort and i'm just hopeful that the international civil aviation organization is going to look at this and take steps that prevent anything like this ever happening again. >> jim, great for being oen the program and thank you for sharing the insight. >> thanks, john. >> now back to russia, the russians are showing off their strength. a biker gang has entered crimea and jennifer is reporting from ukraine. >> latest force from russia.

these are the night wolves, a motorcycle gang with close ties to the kremlin and here to cheer on the people of crimea that are going to vote on sunday whether to rejoin russia. >> for me it is one country, one territory and one mother land and divided by the traitors. >> leader was born in ukraine. his mother used to work with the soviet black sea fleet and he lives in moscow. >> no one knew it would happen so quickly but knew it was coming. whether europe wants it or america wants it, it is going to happen. we all know that. >> sunday's referendum is a dream come true.

they have been calling for this for years. it was the theme of the summer bike meeting two year ago. it is like an opening ceremony and blamed america for the break up of the soviet union. >> he has a fan and a friend in russian president putin that rides with them and gave hem the medal of honor for the work with russian youth. oen the streets, only pro russian billboards are appearing. fashionism or russianism. no intimidation here. >> of all of the people i meet i have not seen a person that is scared. >> but one is, he's threatened for flying the ukrainian flag and told to leave. he calls the rev fen dumb a

farce. >> it is just to show europe and the united states that it is a democracy and already decided. it is just a formality. with all of the troops nobody can protest. >> he's in the minority here and even on a weekday, the night wolves are drawing a crowd that welcomes the support and soon to be russia again. >> it was a year ago today that pope frances elected to lead the roman catholic church and speaker boehner invited him to address a meeting of congress. no pope has ever done that before. the pope frances trying to change the church's imanl and named the person of the year by time and dealt with scandals and allegations of corruption in the vatican bank. it is more than a year since students were gunned in a

connecticut school, now a small california college is becoming first in the country to use the money to put pressure on the gun industry and jennifer london has that story. >> in the months following sandy hook elementary school in newton, connecticut, they marched and rally and demanded stricter gun laws and that failed. now having their voices heard in different ways. >> it is like boycotting of irresponsible industry. >> peter is a policy professor in los angeles. with his leadership they are the first college in the nation to order the endowment to pull money out of investments in companies that make assault weapons and high capacity magazines. >> have aring the colleges divest the endowments from the

weapons of mass destruction, the gun laws, the merchants of death, is a way of moving the agenda forward. >> this is not including handguns and hunting rifles, but targeting the weapons like this, the semiautomatic rifle and military style weapons. the national rifle association declined our request for an interview and while they are the first college to take this action, last year some large public pension funds in california and new york began to divest from the firearm companies, a strategy that jennifer says the working. >> we are happy to say $171 million was divested eefr the koushs of six months actions. >> divestment supporters liken to similar campaigns in the 80s and taking money out of south

africa. but investment analysts are saying that linking the two is a stretch. >> it is not going to have the same level of an impact as in south africa. apa apartside is something that everyone was against. the financial impact on the gun industry is going limited. >> back on campus, peter knows the resolution won't dismantle the gun industry, but he hopes his college sets an example for larger institutions to follow rather than waiting for washington to take the lead. >> tragedy at the austin, texas music festival, a drunk driver crashed through the barricades and 23 injured and two dead. the driver was arrested and

facing two counts of capital murder charges and 23 charges of assault. wells, texas, a city of fewer than 800 people and some are saying a group they call a cult is taking over the town, heidi brings us the report on the group that calls itself the church of wells. >> new year's eve 2011, the night is dark and chris was worried about rv that broke down in front of his house. two men stood outside. >> i asked them where they are headed and they said here. it was the beginning of church of wells and founded by three waco students and they had travelled the country and recruiting members through street preaching before landing here. within days, the group settled in the town of wells and over the last two years have been buying house after house in the

small community. it has gotten to the point where the townspeople spray painted their doors to keep the group out. it is numbering a hundred members and owns a gas station and grocery store and many of the residents are boycotting. jim pastors a church next to the properties and the group's style living and message of damnation earned the title of cult. >> they are saying that everyone is going to hell. accorded to the recorded sermons, salvation requires cutting the ties with one's family. their daughter joined the group in july and no longer speaks to them. they say when they tracked her down in wells she appeared to be brainwashed. >> she goes mom you make me smile.

and i'm not supposed to smile. i'm supposed to be down. i think that ripped my heart out. >> pastor is saying that they are one of the many families that have come looking for loved ones that joined the group. >> they are intelligent and coming from strong family backgrounds. >> what makes them break? >> keep them weak in their body and mind. >> the fbi is saying that the agency is on the radar and the local police investigated the death of a 3-day-old infant and according to the statement from the father he and other church members didn't seek medical treatment for the baby because they believe she was going to be resurrected. >> that is not faith. that is not godly. >> what was it?

>> i would almost call it murder. >> we tracked down the leader scene -- sean. >> you can explain the false assumptions about you guys? >> no. no comment, thank you. >> a church member is saying that the allegations are false. they make these people looking like they are monsters. they are not. they are regular people. they come across very po lit and the most judgmental and hostile people. i hope they leave. >> for now the church of wells are staying put and the families are searching for answers. >> tomorrow more on the efforts to convince their 26-year-old daughter to leave the church of wells. just ahead, they might be legal
