>> this is al jazeera america. live from new york city, i'm tony harris. the disappearance of the malaysia airlines plane. and two more days for the secession vote to russia. and 303 people may have died in gm's recalled cars.

oh new signs that foul play could be behind the disappearance of malaysia flight 370. someone may have deliberately flown the vet hundreds of miles off course. this comes a week after the flight left malaysia, and as the search area for the missing aircraft. the 239 people on board moves farther west. lisa stark joins us from washington. you have covered this aviation industry for years. what are your sources telling you about foul play, possibly playing a roll here? >> reporter: possibly, that's right. but of course they're keeping all of their options open. my sources are telling me that every little bit of data they have right now. they don't have the wreckage. they don't have the black boxes, but they're looking at raised suspicion that this was no accident. >> reporter: with evidence that the missing plane may have

stayed in the air for hours after it dropped off radar, it's direction to the vast indian ocean. they search there had today but turned up nothing. the surveillance jet shows up tomorrow to join in. >> our best asset is the p 3 orion and they're flying out of koala lumpur. those are very advanced aircraft. if first the system that send back information on

engine performance. then the transponder which tells controllers the location and altitude of the plane. was this a hijacking or rogue pilot. malaysian owes officials would only say that they continue to look at everything. >> there are four or five possibilities. it could have been intentionally. it could have been done under duress. it could have been an explosion. >> reporter: it does appear that the plane remained in the air for some time. satellites continue to pick up automatic signals from systems that monitor the engines. based on those signals and a possible sighting of the plane on military radar the jet is believed to have turned far off course and headed west towards the indian ocean. a huge expanse of water to search for this one plane and the two 239 people on board.

a source close to the investigation tells me that they have had a better look now at the military radar in that area. and it does seem to indicate that this plane was under the control of someone. it made a turn to the left off it's ridge expected course and then right up the malaka straits and then possibly out to the indian ocean. that's where they're trying to figure out where it went from there. >> we're still working with details but with almost every lead dismissed or refuted at some point or another in this investigation so far, remind us of the hard fax that we know so far? >> reporter: well, we know that the plane took off at 12:41 from can yokuala lumpur and it was hd to china. and the system sent it's last images about 23 minutes later. after that, 1:30 in the morning

the transponder stops wor worki. they have the lance communication with that airplane. there was no distress call ever sent. we also know that the weather was good at the time it was a clear night and the pilot in command, he had a lot of experience on this airplane. >> all right, lisa. lisa stark for us in washington, d.c. as the investigation into the disappearance appears to move towards foul play, we are getting a new look at the possible paths the missing malaysia airline plane may have taken. we have more on that poort 69 story. >> reporter: yes, it's hard to follow this because it's an ocean. the sighting came shortly before 1:30 in the morning on saturday east of malaysia's coast. the air force chief of malaysia said the aircraft that could

have been the missing plane was plotted 200 miles northwest over near penang, which is here on malaysia's west coast. and now we come to the new source. they say that the last confirmed position of ma 370 was at $35,000 at about 1:21 a.m. in the morning, 90 miles off the coast of malaysia and heading towards vietnam just as it should have been near the navigational way point. now a way point is a navigation point that pilots use to keep track. sometimes they're physical positions like lighthouses and rocks and sometimes it's a location transmitted by satellite or radio signals. now the track provided by these anonymous sources say that it sharps westward away from the track that it was supposed to be on, heading out west wards to another way point which is

called vampi northeast of indonesian area badly affected by the tsunami ten years ago, and a half ga,and navigational . from here the plot given suggests that it flew on to another way point south of the thai island of puqet. it's final plot is right over here, another way point with the name of igrex. that is a route that would have taken the jet over these islands here and on into europe because this is an air way that airlines use when they're flying from this part of the world on into europe. now that is the last sighting. but according to this leaked information the time in the morning was 2:15 a.m. that's the same time given by the malaysian

air force chief on wednesday who said that a plane that may have been 370 was spotted near the island of penang, whatever, tony, far, far, far away from its original track. you see this pattern that lisa was talking about. something was flying that plane. and they knew what they were doing. but what happened after this way point, well, we wait to find out. >> all right, appreciate it. >> as the search for the plane continues the wait is taking its toll on the passengers. we have reports new from kuala lumpur. >> reporter: the lack of information is too distracting. seven days and still no clear direction of where the search for the missing malaysia airline flight is heading. the atmosphere is tense as relatives meet officials from

the airline in beijing. but they don't find the answers they're hoping for. >> you we have been stuck here too long every day is a torture. i don't know how many more days we have to wait. i just want accurate information as soon as possible. >> reporter: in kuala lumpur families have been put up in a hotel as they wait for news. volunteers caregivers have been assigned to help them cope. >> they feel hope that the plane will be find and their family is safe. a few of the family, they think ththey prepare to accept what hs happened. >> reporter: across the country, though, some still have not given up hope placing their faith in higher powers. >> we just performed, so with

the grace of allah we all prayed that all the passengers and crew will be found in good health. >> reporter: so the seventh day ends like all previous days, with insufficient new leads and families believing that their loved ones are still alive. >> the u.s. appears to have failed in its attempts to stop a secession referendum in the crimea area of ukraine. secretary of state john kerry and foreign minister lavrov did meet regarding the deal but they said the talks were constructive. libby, i don't mean to be snarky, but in what way was it constructive. >> reporter: they did talk for several hours, and they did

brief the press separately and had very different message. the u.s. message again is that military of russia is unacceptable, and russia saying this referendum will go forward. despite that the white house hopes there is still room for diplomacy and influence. six hours of meetings between secretary of state john kerry and russian foreign minister sergey lavrov in which lavror said they were no losse closer n agreement. thlavrov said that crimea's referendum is sel independent sf expression of the region. >> neither we nor the international community will recognize the results of this

referendum. >> reporter: secretary kerry went into the meeting hope to turn back sunday's vote. and urging th russia not reactig to the referendum with force. >> until the vote has been taken, that is a decision of enormous consequence with respect to the global community. >> reporter: president obama called for russian restraint. >> a strong message to russia that it should not violate the integrity and the soviet union republicanty of its neighbor. we continue to hope that there is a diplomatic solution to be found. but the united states and europe stand united not only in its message about ukrainian

sovereignty. >> the international community watching closely not only for russia's reaction to the crimea referendum, but what it plans to do with its troops along the ukrainian border. >> the russian medicine ration does not have any plans to invade this region. we assume the rights of russians, bulgarians, hungarians as well as the ukrainians. >> reporter: eight u.s. senators are touring kiev and entering the interimeetingwith the intern government. >> reporter: it is not just the u.s. who has concerns. the u.n. general secretary ban ki-moon spoke with president putin this morning will contact him throughout the weekend but warned if these position continue to harden there is a great risk of following down a

dangerous road. >> talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. libby casey. as the politicians talk, all sides say they want dialogue and not a fight, particularly ukraine whose military is significantly weaker than russia, phil ittner is now live in kiev. >> senator john mccain leads this delegation here tweeted out every single ukrainian official he has met so far has urged the united states to provide them with military assistance. why is that? because this country is woefully unprepared for a fight, and certainly not a conflict with their old soviet allies the russians. >> reporter: soldiers in ukraine are mobilizing, preparing for possible conflict with russia's army poised not only in crimea but along the mainland border regions. but ukraine's military is a

shadow of its former south. once one of the most powerful in europe. today the number of ukrainians in uniform is 90,000 down from 750,000 at the collapse of the soviet union. that is minuscule compared to what they face from russia. and at a kiev conference of military consultants the experts pointed out where the russian forces are already to sweep in and most likely overwhelm the ukrainians. here russian troops numbered 220,000 are deployed. and they are prepare forgive action. >> reporter: in a last-ditch effort to beef up defenses the pledgfledgling ukrainian governt gathering national guards at

recruitment stations around the country. many ukrainians are answering the call because they know they stand near defenseless and many more are highly critical of those who put their country in this position. >> we don't have an army as such. as far as i know the country does not have weapons. either out of order or too outdated. the authorities did not care about the security of ukraine. >> reporter: even ukraine's former nuclear arsenal is nothing more than a museum piece now. in 1994 a non-proliferation pact got rid of it, and where weapons are display families came to get away from the fears of a possible war hanging over their immediate future. but also maybe just to bask in the sunshine of former military glory. now it's not just the ukrainians who are concerned about crisis.

we spoke to a source within n.a.t.o.'s supreme command here in europe who said that those member states who used to be in former warsaw nations are deeply concerned about what they see as a renewed sense of aggression coming from moscow. >> phil ittner for us in kiev. thank you. one of the ethnic groups caught in the middle of the struggle when russia and ukraine are the tatars. their horrible treatment at the hands of the soviet have them worried about their future after the referendum. this sunday morning al jazeera america explores their story return to exile. more than 300 people were killed in crashes after airbags failed to deploy. gm is already under fire for not recalling cars sooner that had defective ignition switch. that problem killed 13 people. for more let's turn to bisi

onile-ere in detroit. tell us more about this report. >> reporter: the study was commissioned by auto safety group and they found there were 303 people who were killed when the airbags in their vehicles did not go off when they got into a crash. now what is interesting is that there are two recalled general motor vehicles that date back as far back at 2003 that are at the center of the study. whether there is any connection to all of these deaths and the faulty ignition switch is unclear. >> what is the next step in this investigation? >> it was a couple of weeks ago when the federal government launched an investigation of its own and the group behind this recent study said they plan to take everything they found,

present it to lawmakers, and their goal is to prove that general meters as well as the federal government didn't act soon enough when they realized there was a problem. as for that airbag study gh responded saying it was just pure speculation. >> bisi onile-ere in detroit, thank you. coming up on al jazeera america, why the fbi refuses to run nationwide background checks on people hoping to open a pot business in washington state. also the great lakes are almost completely frozen over, and that causes big problems for the shipping industry.

>> legal marijuana businesses are growing, but running into some hang ups in the process. the fbi will not run nationwide background checks on pool who have applied to open a legal marijuana business in washington even though it runs those same checks in colorado. it's just one drum tha dilemma e

legal process faces. >> it looks like they're waiting for a solid word from above to tell them exactly how to handle this. this is a legal collision between the feds and the state of washington that has been waiting to happen since it wa is legalized, and fingerprints checks may be part of the vetting process for those who want to get into the pot business. state regulators have asked for fbi involvement but they have never gotten the commitment that the nation's top law agency would do those background checks. lawyers working for people who want to be involved in the new marijuana industry called that fbi stance puzzling. >> the state of washington made it clear that it wants to

prevent organized crime elements from deepening a foothold in this industry as it becomes legitimate. >> and the department of justice said we are watching you to make sure this runs smoothly. >> the fbi and doj's refusal to assist the state in the background checks seems contra contrary. >> reporter: here's what the doj is saying, this is all they're saying: now regulators in colorado today tell me that fbi background checks are part of their vetting of the marijuana industry, the medical marijuana industry for seven years now.

colorado voters have approved recreational marijuana. those newcomers to the business are veteranned in the same process and the people in colorado tell me that the fbi are involved in those checks as well. in washington say they'll continue to take fingerprints from everybody who applies. they'll keep those finger points at some point the fbi will be able to use them to do national background checks as soon as someone from the doj decides exactly how to handle this. >> so it looks like the burbs are out, the cities are in. ali velshi joins us now. good friday to you. why are people chose to go live in urban areas? >> this is a city boy question. >> yes. >> ridership on public transit in america last year hit it's highest level since the 1950s. this is signaling a shift of how

americans move about and signal as democratic shift in america's metropolitan areas. most middle class americans are move together inner cities to live after decades of fleeing city centers in the suburbs. we've seen that in downtown l.a. downtown chicago is bustling. more americans are embracing high density living that we see more commonly in europe where we depend on public transit and use cars less. that's a very interesting trend we're seeing. >> now i'm curious as to what is happening to the suburban areas. >> you're right, we don't know what that suburban flight looks like. for the first time urban growth rates at 1.1% outpaced suburban growth rate.

that's the last data we have. this is interesting. the advent of cars and highways to help pushes us into the suburbs further and further out in the country side, average commute side are 26 minutes each way. we both lived in atlanta. we know what that's like. it doesn't necessarily mean cities, but urbanized areas where they can walk to stores, easy access to transit. sometimes it means citieser and sometimes it's the suburban areas that feel like the city. but it changes property values and the way we're going to living and working. >> what else is on the run down? >> we're going to talk about general motors more, and i have a water witch on my show.

>> see, i said in the last show if this woman that was featured in this piece, if she finds water she's going to be a reality television star in no time, and already you've got her booked. >> listen to you. you're a trend setter. >> all right, man, good friday, good weekend to you. bp can once again do work for the federal government. the company said it reached a deal with the environmental protection agency. bp was suspended from performing government work in 2012 after pleading guilty and paying a huge crim fine. cry means are about to decide whether to become independent or join russia.

and the vot vote has other peopn parts of ukraine worried that they may be next.

>> tomorrow is the third anniversary since the start of the syrian conflict and the joint u.n. envoy. syria has more than 2 million refugees and ibrahimi said it will rise by the end of the year. he also said that the opposition will not join another round of peace talks. if bashar al-assad runs for another seven-year term. fighting will continue if he wins another seven year rue glean in areas under government

control there are pockets of rebel run areas even now with the reconciliation that's going on with the cease fires. around damascus, it is still in the strong grip of the government. however, there are pockets of rebels that are no longer--they may no longer be clashing with government troops because of a cease-fire but no is allowed out of those area. it's sort of like swiss cheese. >> so who controls aleppo right now. >> part of it is government controlled, part of it is rebel controlled. a lot of people pass through it to get to work. >> take a moment and describe the humanitarian nightmare that is syria right now.

>> well, you know, it kept getting worse and worse over the past few years, but now for example in the camp part of this province it's on again and off again the siege is off and sometimes they allowed humanitarians aid to get through, but inside there are at least 20,000 civilians trapped. people tell me that they're starting to have problem with head lice and skin diseases. they don't have soap. there are no diapers for children. it's just terrible conditions. it's especially terrible because

it's purposeful. and just miles away there is a supermarket with imported goods, produce, it's all fresh. that just adds to how tragic this is. >> is the free syrian army today three years into this conflict viable as an opposition force? >> reporter: the free syrian force is the own opposition force that should count. it's organ income grassroots. a lot of it is just local people who are still in their villages or towns. because they're grassroots, because of their strength that's their weakness. thethey don't necessarily coordinate with each other. they're ordinary people who picked up armed. they're armed civilians basically. without extra help they can't really get very far.

>> is there any end in sight to this civil war? do you think ultimately syrian breaks apart? >> i don't think syria is going to break apart in the near future it's not consolidated enough around a clear "fault line" for it to break up. it's not like ukraine and crimea. however, will the war continue for a long time? unfortunately, a lot of people think that's what's going to happen. that the election also happen this summer. that he will win with the usual maybe this time it will be 85% instead of the 97% i think the government just feels that time is on its side they just need to drag this on and slowly take the rebels one after another. they'll continue to have support from iran and russia or i should

say if they continue to have that support, then i think that's basically it's just going to be more of the same. >> joining us from syria. all eyes are on sunday's referendum in crimea which will decide the direction of ukraine and russia's relationships. voters are deciding whether to join the russian federation or become independent. residents are worried that russia will move on them next. but world powers have not given up trying to solve the crimea criecrisis initially. what is the feeling like on the ground? the russian population makes up

the majority here. they've been campaigning hard and the evidence is everywhere. today they were giving out russian flags at a park, and the line was an hour long to get a russian flag. do you have the minority who are very worried about what this will mean. tatars say they were driven out by stalin, and they only came back in the 1990's and they'll boycott the referendum. many ethnic ukrainians say the same thing as well but many say the outcome is a forgone conclusion. those who vote will vote to be part of russia and crimea will be part of russia in the next coming weeks or so. >> we saw crashes in eastern

ukraine. they went on for more than an hour. one person was killed in those clashes. you have pro kiev forces against pro russian forces. the pro russian forces--they'r-. kiev blaming russia as instiga instigating. the russian foreign minister said that moscow reserves the right to protect the ethnic russians east of ukraine, that's a big concern that russia might build it as a an aggression.

>> spain claims the group used the internet to attract members. morocco's justice ministry said some were former detainees released from guantanamo bay. in nigeria gunmen attacked a military barracks in the north. the attackser freed some captives but they were killed trying to escape. nigeria's ministry of defense said four soldiers were injured. this is the fourth deadly attack iattack. >> last month the government imposed fixed prices on certain foods in an effort to crackdown on price gouging. two college students and a popular app are helping people

save money. >> reporter: when mario goes grocery shopping he takes no chances. he's able to poll lice prices, make sure he's not getting cheated. since he started using the app he said he's saving more than 30% a week on groceries. >> you realize that supermarkets are taking advantage of the situation. because before we had no way to compare prices but now we have a tool. >> reporter: these university students created the app. it's the top download in argentina. more popular than twitter or instagram. but scanning bar codes it's easy to find out which are not staninscanning the prices from e

government. >> this is a huge difference. souring food prices is a growing problem for argentina. government has struck a deal with the top supermarket chain to sell every day products at fixed prices. many people say it does not go far enough. >> up incarceration is expected to remain in the double digit this is year. >> here we have the state which should be able to imminent policies to diagnose problem and

implement policies to deal with this is now saying that it's the people's responsibility to make sure the prices increase which i think a very backwards way of doing it. >> with currency reserve shrinking daily many here think the government has little room to maneuver. >> a massive intense imposed in arizona's most notorious crimes, maria has that headline and others across america. >> reporter: a man convicted of killing nine buddhist monks was sentenced to 239 years behind bars. he was convicted in the robberies and killings at the temple in phoenix in 1991. the body of a woman has been

found in the rubble of those two collapsed buildings in new york city. she is the eighth victim of wednesday's gas explosion. firefighters are continuing their search efforts and in case there are any known drivers even though the new york fire commissioner said there are no more missing people. for months freezing temperatures have crippled much of the midwest and for the first time in decades 90% of the great lakes is frozen over, and that,s effecting the industry. >> these enormous vessels and car goes must be ready to go when the shipping season opens. >> they need to get out of here in time for that first load and they want to be lined up with a full load of cargo as soon as they open the gates.

>> reporter: the problem is no one is sure when that will be. blaming the arctic winds with what is known as the polar vortex blew much further south resulting in one of the coldest winters on record. >> this is lake superior, and for the first time in 20 years it is completely frozen solid. in some parts the ice is more than a meter and a half thick. >> it's critical to moving everything from food, fuel, metal ores for 100 million people. cargo has been hit hard by the

deep freeze. in december iron, ore trade fell 51%21%. >> the ice just got too thick, and it wasn't passable. so we've got steel mills, and we've got utility companies that are going to need coal, a huge economic impact on profit margins. >> because every day these ships are locked in frozen solid ports, millions are lost. >> earn is tired of winter. it came in so fast and so severe, we're ready for spring. >> reporter: regardless of what the calendar says, spring on lake superior may still an long way off. kimberly, al jazeera, minnesota. >> it's been a rough winter.

>> have a great weekend. >> you, too. >> a religious group in one texas town has residents concerned. me say the church of wells is a cult. families search forgive their sons and daughter they say are being held against their will. heidi zhou castro follows the story of one family being torn apart by the church. >> it seems that katherine had it all. a devout and loving christian family, and a promising career in nursing. but eight months ago she disappeared from her northwest arkansas home. her parents worried that their daughter had been abducted. then five days later katherine called from a town 380 miles away. >> she said, hi mom, i'm with a group of people that are taking good care of me, but i can't listen to you and dad any more, mom. i'm in wells, texas. >> reporter: population 800. a town of cattle and lumber.

the groves came here looking for their daughter but instead they found a bigger mystery. katherine said she was with the church of wells. her parents asked locals for directions. >> they said, oh, you're here looking for the cult. >> reporter: three waco college students founded the church of wells in 2010. the group believes itself to be the world's only true christians while everyone else is condemned to hell. the groves knocked on the door on this house owned by the church of wells. >> their first words were, mrs. and mrs. grove, we fear you're going to kidnap your daughter from us. >> reporter: the groves said when they finally saw their daughter katherine after four hours of pleading she looked to have lost ten pounds. >> i couldn't help but ask are you okay? do you have plenty of eat? she didn't answer. she looked at the elders. >> reporter: katherine chose not to return home that day and she has remained in wells since.

her parents believe the group uses sleep depravation to brainwash members. >> you're facing accusations. you don't want to clear your name? >> the lord will justify me. >> are you keeping people hostage? >> of course not. >> reporter: a neighbor said she saw katherine grove last week. >> yeah, she looked like she wanted to be here. i don't think they're holding her against her will. >> reporter: but the groves disagree. they've witnessed food being brought to locked sheds and a church leader showed them what appeared to be a meat locker in the back of the grocery store. >> inside were mini heat lamps and i don't know 50 to 100 small fans. i said, what on or the is this? he said, andy, with a big grin on his face, this is our prayer room. >> reporter: the police and the fbi have received complaints against the church but say no criminal investigation currently

exists. last november a church member called police to report katherine had runaway. the groves said search dogs found her alone in the woods carrying a backpack full of clothes. her parents say police returned her to the church. then the last phone call from katherine. >> she goes, mom, katherine is dead. this is jesus, mom. >> reporter: the call left the groves child and wondering if this is a test of faith then what exactly happened to their daughter? heidi zhou castro, al jazeera america wells texas. >> any time you walk into a business computers could be tracking you. and you may be helping them do it. the folks from techno will explain. that's next.

only on al jazeera america

>> it's clear to most of the country that winter is not over yet, not by a long start. and there is more snow and cold, kevin can a look. >> meteorologist: it's good we didn't put a bet on this. things looking fairly decent but i want to show you one particular area that we're going to be watching very carefully. it's right here across parts of arkansas. watch what happens as we put the forecast into motion and then push it out for a saturday, sunday as well as into monday. now i want to take you close and show you exactly what we expect to see. starting at 5:00 on saturday notice the rain, then notice the icing as well as the snow. by sunday afternoon sunday evening we're talking just north of the ohio river. this ban of snow. now remember a few days ago we had a major pile up in ohio. that caused three deaths.

we're going to be watching this very carefully over the next day. the system moves through us. there is a lot of disrepresent city of how much know we're we are--how much snow we're going to get and how deep it's going to be. >> you don't have to be an online shopper for companies to track your spending. brick and mortar shops have borrowed a trick from e-commer e-commerce. >> toronto, canada, population 3 million, and at least as many cellphones. >> this is toronto's trendy neighborhood. it's a closely monitored shopping area in canada, how? by smart phones. businesses are monitoring phones and most people don't know about it. one of those businesses is here.

from the moment you walk in a signy sensor sniffs out the wi-fi. >> why did you name it happy child. >> because i have a happy child. >> what kind of data do you need? how many people come in the door, how long do they stay? >> started by a turnstile solution. it's the brainchild by college buddies who wanted more fans for their bands. >> everyone carries cellphones in their pockets. >> it was about finding out who was coming to your concerts? >> exactly. figure out a way to reward them and say thank you. >> and then you realize every retailer has the same question. >> how many phones are you tracking right now? >> we detected over 13 million

unique devices. >> has anyone complained about this tracking? >> ality the end of the day there is more that is potentially happening to you than being hit for a tracker. >> joining us from los angeles, good to see you again. let's start with tech on this. if you're a business this is a way to see where customers are going. >> yes, businesses are really excited about this. it gives them a way to connect witthethe consumer, their custo. >> what about the privacy, what do they have to say about this? >> it's hard to look at a story like this and not think of privacy concerns. we've all seen security

breaches, but the info that these guys are gathering is much more personal. so the patrons we talked to didn't seem to mind all that month, but there are a lot of people out there who aren't so keen on having their private information being accessed. >> absolutely. the tech companies say this is all generic. they don't really know it's your phone. dubai that? >> it's a mixed answer. it is technically generic. they scramble your phone's identity so you've got some long key word that isn't necessarily associated with your name, but if you cross reference enough of the data cataloged they can see what bars you go to, what gym you go to and where you spend ten hours a night. put two and two together they can figure out who you are, and if this gets hacked there is information that could go public and make a lot of people feel uneasy.

>> i'll let you announce the big news. you're moving. >> yes, we're moving to saturday night 7:00 p.m. we hope every tunes in, learns a little bit and have a good time. >> it's a terrific show, phil, to you and the colleagues, great program, see you on saturdays now, right? >> yes, you bet. >> have a great weekend. top stories are coming up next on al jazeera america. >> coming up on real money, the global trend of moving from the countryside to the city is coming to america. i'll tell you how it will change the way you live, work, and commute. plus the ancient mystical art that some california farmers are using to try to find water. all that and more on real money.

>> the last ditch effort to end the ukraine crisis through diplomacy has failed. we have just learned secretary of state john kerry will head to

the region to meet with leaders of several countries. this after he met with russian foreign minister lavrov for five hours with no progress. >> however, after much discussion the foreign minister made it clear that president putin is not prepared to make any decision regarding ukraine until after the referendum on sunday. >> as we move closer to sunday's referendum violence broke out in eastern ukraine. one person is dead and 20 others injured. u.s. ships are heading to the indian ocean to search for the missing malaysia flight and foul play is strongly suspected now. 239 people were on board flight 370 when it disappeared seven days ago. the joint arab league envoy hint there could b peace talks l

if there are presidential held this spring. ali velshi next on al jazeera america. >> more americans are moving from the suburbs to the city. it's a trend that will effect your life no matter where you live. and general motors in crisis mode. what the company must do for americans to trust the brand again. plus witches for hire. the search for a precious commodity. i'm ali velshi and this is "real money."
