website. or on the facebook or google+. remember, antonio mora talks to jimmy carter on tuesday. until then, we'll see you, thanks for hello and welcome to al jazeera ameri. i'm tony harris in new york. john siegenthaler has the night off. >> no survivors, devastating words for the families of those on board flight 370, and new details tonight on the hunt for wreckage. grim search. the desperate effort to find anyone alive under that mudslide in washington state. environmentalist catastrophe, 25 years after the exxon valdez

spelled environmental disaster in alaska, how much realms. woman badly hurt by a car accident at the south by southwest band gets a special performance by her favorite band. 17 days have gone by since malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared. the search is now centered off the coast of australia. bad weather is delaying that effort. no are wreckage has been found but pointing to a bad end. john terret reports. >> the search has been called off, the reason, high seas and

gale force winds. it reminds one of the area of the search. the malasian prime minister reads a statement. >> it is therefore with deep sadness and regret that i must inform you that according to this new data, flight mh 370 ended in the southern indian ocean. >> authorities say further analysis of satellite data shows mh 370 headed south and came down off the coast of perth, australia, one of the most remote places on earth. objects floating in the ocean, suspected bun sun substantiate-- but unsubstantiated clues.

nothing conclusively pointed to a splashdown point. finding the black box is a crucial next step. audiosignals or pings fade out after about 30 days. a black box locator is being sent to the area. a news briefing at the pentagon. >> the pinger-locator as well as a blue fin 21 autonomous underwater vehicle were flown out of jfk airport in new york to perth. it would be useful should there be a debris field that we -- or there should be maybe some underwater objects that we believe need to be researched. >> reporter: monday's break through offers slim comfort to survivortofamilies of the passeh

370. why the 777 disappeared off of radar screens and wound ultimate so far off course. -- off so far off course. >> black box locator down as a preemptive strike as it were. at the moment the search area is so large the device is effectively useless but when can he they can find debris field he's confident they can find the black boxes underwater. when they do find the debris field they can move it into place as quickly as possible. >> john terret reporting for us. more than 26 countries are helping is for the search for the wreckage.

jacob ward. >> it is a british telecom company that's one of the biggest satellite services, the company says it's done an unprecedented analysis of the signals that came to inmarsat satellites. a new picture of flight 370's final hours. even after all the aircraft addressing systems, so-called acars system stopped transmitting, the system continued to receive signals, they are not gps enabled, there aren't multiple of them, just basic combination satellites. the company had to do complicated math to figure this out. analysts combined elevation

information from the time it took to reach the satellite. either moving north or south along a pretty specific line. then they figured out the doppler effect, the aware that waves change form when the thing observing them is moving. in this case the satellite. to figure out the plane was moving south, they had to make up a cruising speed but by comparing their projections to other flights they say their projections add up. the company says other independent analysts have evidently confirmed their conclusions. there is no way to be more specific. this is limit of the data. but the company's data is convincing enough that the malasian government is satisfied it's definitive. just based on transmissions and the search area is going to be enormous. no tangible evidence, no black boxes so this is the clearest

sense we have and we may ever have of the plane's fate. >> allen diehl joins us from albuquerque new mexico. the author of air safety investigators using science to save lives one crash at a time. allen you're on the phone with us. i thank you for your time this evening. your thoughts on the news of the day, the malasian prime minister saying based on the satellite data received and analyzed, the plane went down in the southern indian ocean. what are your thoughts? >> well, my thoughts obviously are sad, that that's -- looks like where it's going to end up. but many of us suspected that was where it was all along. the mrset data really has been very helpful. but i think period o first and , the president needs to call up

and say we have totally inadequate information, regarding surface debris and he needs several squadrons of p-3 aircraft from the u.s. or other countries to get out and look for that wide area first of all for floating debris which can lead you back to where to look for the pingers. and there's another type of aircraft, the u.s. air force has mc-130s. these aircraft can't locate pingers but the first thing is to find up debris. they can stay up a long time unlike the p-3s. >> wait a minute, aren't nations offering every resources available? >> what we're talking about is eight or ten aircraft. when you are dealing with the third largest body of water in the world you need a lot more resources than that. and i truly believe that the

p-3s are the only way to make it happen. so i just don't think it's adequate. the other thing i believe the prime minister should do is call the president and say, would you please send me a complete ntsb go-team. that's what president mubarak did in 1989 when they lost a plane in the atlantic. it would cause them a lot less grief. the families are accusing the malasian government of having a coverup. if he could release a go team that would cover a lot of problems. >> it seems that everyone is trying to find the aircraft. are you suggesting the malaysiaians have mishandled the investigations at this point? >> i just think they've never -- first of all this whole investigation is somewhat unprecedented.

and they just never have done anything like this. that's why you need people that do it all the time. i used to be with the safety board as you o know. >> yes, yes. >> they know how to do these investigations, this would have been a challenge for them, tony. i guess the analogy would be they are playing in the super bowl and they've been using the third string while it's getting late in the third or fourth quarter, let's send in the first string and see if we can salvage this situation. and what i'm saying is, please, mr. prime minister, call in the ntsb and get the u.s. navy and the other nation he of the world. we're not -- nation of the world. we're not the only country with the p-3s. the japanese have 300 much them. they need a lot -- 300 of them. they knead a lot more. >> we're going to talk to somebody who knows as you do about the p-3 aircraft. allen diehl, he is a former

investigator. now to the washington state mudslide. emergency crews say the situation is grim but they have not given up hope. six more bodies have been recovered putting the total to 14. some of the mud is said to be 15 feet deep in the community of oso, washington. allen schauffler is live for us in arlington, washington. allen, if you would anything new on the search for survivors? credit. >> well, we can tell you tony, that they will have people out at the scene overnight. a limited number of search cruise will be searching the areas they can get in safely, the areas they can light back in the debris area. really a tough day in northwest washington. they are saying this is still a rescue effort. that's what they're calling it publicly and officially.

but they saw no signs of life in the debris field today, as you mentioned just the opposite. another six bodies found as we head into the third night since this huge slide hit. emergency crews are throwing everything into the third day of this search. hover craft sent in from up river. dog teams helping ground crews are hoping to get to every corner of the huge landslide. it's now estimated 15 million cubic yards of earth smashed down out of the cascade mountain foothills destroying or damaging 30 homes. >> i want to let everyone know that the situation is very grim. we haven't -- we're still holding out hope that we're going to be able to find people that may still be alive but keep in mind we have not found anybody alive on this pile since saturday in the initial stages of our operation but again we're still in a rescue noticed. >> first responders admit dmit they don't havtheydon't have a e

one who's missing. wife and daughter staying positive against long odds. >> we're hoping he's pinned in a closet somewhere in the mud but they have air pockets and they're doing okay and keeping each other going. >> miracles do happen in situations like that. >> they totally totally do happen, i believe this that, they do. >> you could tell just how much is just not there anymore. >> in these small mountain towns everybody seems to know somebody who may be lost. >> my friend denver he's missing in the slide. and he's a good friend of mine. he's a good friend of a lot of people at school, hoping that they find him or something. >> but more than two days after the huge slide hit, even with searchers publicly saying they're still running a rescue mission the hope for miracles is fading. >> could happen anywhere.

so -- it's just you know, mother nature i guess. >> witnesses say this landslide was an event that lasted a matter of seconds. maybe 30 seconds at the most. but is an event that will be -- people here will be feeling the impact from for a long, long time to come. tony. >> that's for sure, all right allen schauffler, appreciate it. on to the hague, in the netherlands. president obama is there urging other world leaders to isolate and punish russia for what happened in crimea. white house correspondent mike viqueria has the story. >> a long scheduled nuclear summit has come to be dominated by the crisis in ukraine. with the famed rembrandt work "the night watch" behind him.

>> we're united in imposing a cost on russia. >> but that's become a tough goal of this trip. russia has been thrown out for now from the group of the powerful nations known as the g8. mr. obama called a meeting of the seven remaining, a clear warning to russia there will be a heavy economic price to pay if it goes further into crimea and eastern ukraine. russian foreign minister sergey lavrov showed little concern. >> we are not clinging to that group. >> in a positive sign sat down with ukraine's interim foreign minister after weeks of refusing to meet insisting the kiev government was illegitimate. mr. obama has several meetings,

over the next few days, sitting down with chinese leader shin ji pang. ukraine has and will continue to dominate the agenda aas the allies come together to curb future aggression. >> that's the message we want to send with eu and 48th oh at the end of the next several days. >> the president called a joint statement the g7 nations, promised brought sanctions to russia as they go further. mike viqueria, al jazeera, the hague. >> prorussian forces have been taking over, base by base, 000 ukraine's interim government tells the soldiers to get out.

>> gave the order for ukrainian military to leave the crimean peninsula, they are in life threatening situations and in some cases the families of the ukrainian soldiers have been threatened. they estimate about 25,000 military personnel who want to be evacuated from the crimean peninsula. this all comes as many of those military personnel have been pushed off of their ships or off of their bases. on monday morning the theodocia marine base was overrun. flying in the air, using flash grenades. over the weekend we saw the nafl commannaval ship slivotuci, as s the belbek air base the biggest

air base in crimea. the russian he just a few small bases left, they said they are flying the flag over 100 military installations here the crimea as they consolidate their hold and move those forces out of crimea as they make their control over the crimean peninsula complete. >> jennifer glasse reporting for us. tonight, new reports on the nsa domestic spying program. there are reports president obama will propose new legislation, under the new proposal the nsa would no longer systematically control data, instead phone companies would do it. the program was revealed by former nsa contractor edward snowden. spring is here but the northeast could be getting a blast of winter.

>> there is going to be a lot of people to the north and northeast. first of all there are two parts of this storm that are coming together that are really going to make this intensified. ohio valley making its way towards east as well as moisture here towards florida. notice how all this moisture comes together at the end. that is part of that storm. now this is what it's going to look like as we go towards tomorrow starting on tuesday. watch what happens there, area of low pressure develops there, we begin to see snow upwards to delaware and maryland. watch what happens to these isobars. bliss art warnings are going to be in effect for parts of nantucket, cape cod and the new england area. major storm system hopefully

it's going to be the last one we see. said about an inch here, new york over here towards the east a little bit more we are looking for some very heavy snow, maybe 12, 15 inches of snow for parts of our cape cod. >> wow, really, really, okay, kevin. thank you. questions are raised about the number of people being killed by albuquerque police officers now the feds want answers too. the search for 370. an al jazeera reporter gets a live look at what happens on one of those search planes.

>> police in new mexico are on the defensive after an officer fatally shot a homeless man camping in the albuquerque foothills. police should not have called the shooting justified. police are already under scrutiny.

heidi zhou-cast strowe has the story. >> we warn you, what you are about to see is graphic. >> get on the ground now. get on the ground. get on the ground. the albuquerque police who have geangd edges in engaged in a thf said the action he were justified. >> the suspect pulled out the two knives and directed a threat to the canine officer who had no weapons drawn. >> reporter: but others aren't so sure, wondering if this is another case of deadly use of

excessive force by the albuquerque police department. in the last four years, albuquerque police have shot and cild 23 people. that'killed 23 people. >> it literally makes me physically sick. you can see mr. boyd was actually obeying the commands. he was turning around and his hands were -- he was going to go down on the ground like he was being ordered to do and that's when they murdered him. >> kenneth ellis says watching boyd's killing is adding salt to the wound of his own son's death at the hands of albuquerque police in 2010. 25-year-old ellis was an iraq war veteran. >> he physically said i'm not here to harm anybody. he wasn't a threat to anybody but himself.

had suicidal, you know like most veterans with posttraumatic stress, they are in pain, severe pain. >> the officer who shot ellis is not on suspension, he is on duty. the jury delivered him the largest civil rights verdict in new mexico history, $10.4 million. in the past used unreasonable excessive force. at issue is whether boyd's death will now also be part of the investigation. hks, al jazeera, albuquerque. >> as many of you know, living in san francisco is not cheap. it is the third most expensive city, after new york and hon lew lu and housing costs are just too high. as melissa chan reports, city hall is trying to change that. >> andrew yee was born in san

francisco, raised in san francisco and now serves are san francisco as a firefighter. he almost got priced out of living in san francisco. >> i went preschool all the way through high school here and everything has changed since growing up. i think the tech boom has driven prices too high and it's hard to afford to rent in san francisco now let alone buy in san francisco. i think it's unfortunate. you have police officers, sheriffs, fire department, we want to be in the city that we work in. >> according to reports by the brookings institution the gap between the rich and the poor is growing faster in san francisco than in any other major city in the country. families in the bottom 20s percentile actually saw their salaries drop somethingsom some. the median income is $73,000,

around how much yee makes. this group is discovering they can no longer find affordable places to rent or buy. with the cost of living sky high, some first responders have better than forced to move hours away and that worries officials in this quake-prone city. >> so it's really a question of when the next one hits. and when the next one hits we want our first responders to be living in san francisco. >> city hall is now offering first responders like yee up to $100,000 in down payment assistance to purchase a home or an apartment inside the city limits. launched just last year the initial pool had enough money to help out about ten applicants. so andrew yee is one of the lucky few who have benefited from the program. >> i was getting outbid by 20% over the listing price. and a lot of them were cash offers. so i was just lucky to get a house in san francisco today.

>> i just moved in about two months ago. so i'm doing a lot of little projects there on my days off. it's a two bedroom one bath small little house up on the hill. >> the city recognizes it would have to significantly expand the program for any impact. andrew yee says he'd certainly like to see the loan assistance scheme grow so more public servants like teachers, police and firefighters can also have the opportunity to live in the city where they serve. melissa chan, al jazeera, san francisco. >> we are about an hour away from a news conference on the missing flight, malaysia flight 370. we will bring it to you live, the latest on the search is next. religious freedom versus women's rights, tomorrow's big supreme court case about the affordable care act.

>> welcome back everyone to al

jazeera america. i'm tony harris in new york city. we have a lot to cover this half hour, including a needle in a haystack. the painstaking search for flight 370. and the exxon valdez oil spill 25 years later. and how about this: a very special concert from a teen's hospital room as she was seriously injured at the big music festival sout south by southwest. first, a grim outlook for the washington state mudslide. >> i'm very disappointed to tell you that we didn't find any sign of any survivors and we found no survivors today. >> dprean confirmed death >> 14 confirmed deaths today. the ground started sliding in oso, washington just north of seattle. a quick change in focus today at the world nuclear

summit in the netherlands. president obama took center stage, talked about ways to isolate and punish russia for its takeover in crimea, the group voted to oust it from the g8 group. officials are convinced the flight 370 crashed into the south indian ocean. search efforts have been called off for tuesday because of bad weather. before the storm mov moved overe indian ocean andrew thomas was able to get into one of the search planes. >> an object in the water. now on return pass a smoke canister is fired. the smoke is a visual sign for pilot to aim for. >> 555. >> a second smoke canister is deployed as the plane turns back

towards it there's a fleeting glimpse of another object, a third. the marker screen is beginning to look busy. >> it's a fairly clean area of ocean, we're not seeing much. but today we're seeing quite a few things in the water. >> i'm not trained but i look too, i think i see a red object, traveling at 360 kilometers an our my possible object and chris's definite ones are gone almost as soon as they are seen. other observers confirm over the crew radio their color and shape. a photographer who fires off shots catches two in the frame. >> that's the fourth object marked by one of the spotters. as they're scene, they're position are called out over the radio. they are all four described in larger than a meter in leng, something like a hose, something like cylindrical.

>> the pilot comes into radio contact, his crew has seen objects. >> i've been in communications with the rescue control center and have been allowed centrally release from whatever search they were doing, i guess this is the latest priority, latest priority is collecting these items and analyzing them and trying to classify them. >> descending again, another object is spotted, a gps positioner is dropped. they're low on fuel. flight 104's day has been a success. its crew has seen, located and marked the position of objects in an area of ocean where, just hours later, malaysia's prime minister would confirm that mh 370 had crashed. >> andrew thomas, al jazeera over the southern indian ocean. >> let's bring in art sampson,

former delta airlines pilot. earlier on the forecast we had allen diehl, a former ntsb can investigator. he says it's time to bring in the a team for the malaysian prime minister to call the president of the united states and say to the president we need those p-3s here and we need full-on ntsb go-team on the scene. something tells me you would agree with that assessment. >> i agree with that completely, tony. thank you for having me and i want to express my condolence to all those families. this was a tough day for them. but i do ups and do agree that until we have tangible evidence in our hands we're not going to know what they're seeing out there was debris from an aircraft or part of that garbage dump that occurs in that part of the indian ocean.

>> that's interesting. you have flown over that ocean and tell us about that and the currents and the factors involved. >> as you know that is an enormous body of water. and it just happens that those currents come together at that point. and the thing that doesn't seem to be getting much attention is that the ocean in itself is a very, very noisy place. we're not talking about looking for pingers in someone's backyard swimming pool. this is like you know the noise in a sports stadium just prior to kickoff at the super bowl. >> wait a minute, take a second and describe that. you say it's a noisy place. how so? are. >> the ocean in itself is very, very noisy . there is biological noise that is created and there's a lot of noise that is created by shipping. and sound doesn't travel on a straight line in water. so it's bent, and refracted.

and muffled. so it's going to be very, very difficult to find those pingers. and we don't have too many days left before they will stop transmitting. >> do you believe the reports today, from a very reputable organization in the u.k, the satellite images showing debris that could possibly be associated with this missing plane? >> oh, i do. i believe that there is debris that possibly could come from that airplane. but again until we have parts and pieces of that in our hands, we simply aren't going to know that what they have been seeing has come from the missing aircraft. >> so tell me how the p-3 aircraft can be really helpful in this effort. >> well, the p-3 has quite a bit of time on station. the crews are trained to do searches both above and below the surface. so these are probably the best

experts in the world who are flying throws aircraft. >> is it true that it -- those aircraft. >> sit true that it can fly as low as 200 feet to the ocean surface? >> yes, we used to do that frequently. we could fly by ships and almost recognize people on the bridge. >> okay, how much time before whatever pinging is coming from the flight recorders, that that pinging goes away and then i guess at that point it's anyone'anyone's guess as what we able to find and where we're able to find it. >> that's correct. i think we have less than two weeks now that those pingers are likely to be viable. but you may remember that when air france aircraft was lost in the atlantic, within 24 hours we knew exactly where it had gone into the water. >> yeah. >> the pingers were working and they couldn't find them even within a 50-mile radius of the impact point.

they never did find that acoustic data from the pingers. >> i appreciate your time, art sampson he's a former delta airlines pilot. thank you tony. >> vessels are working to clean up 170,000 gallons of thick oil in the houston ship channel. a lye we'rian tanke -- a lye w r nearly half a billion gallons of oil off pri prince william soun. daniel lack reports. >> they didn't have this, a

computer simulator. it's startlingly real. the decks appear to swell. there's no better way to learn how to steer a tank person. >> it's hard to convince yourself at times that you're not in danger. it's totally totally real. it's virtually real. >> when exxon valdez hit bligh reef, beaches were fouled, fish and wildlife coated in toxic tar. the cleanup and the court cases went on for years. a quarter century after there unthinkable happened the waters off alaska's southern coast look clean again, the scenery as splendid as ever. but problems remain with the environment with animals and with humans. fish stocks collapsed. bob lindford fell in, probably

because of chemicals in the cleanup. >> i got what turned out to be an autoimmune disease, aplastic anemia and two or three other complications from that. it was 16 years ever illness for me. >> dr. pam twome is a see life expert. dr. twome says these captivating animals are only now recovering in the wild. >> this is exxon valdez crude oil collected 25 years after the date. >> rick steiner can helped the cleanup effort, now he's learned

that transporting petroleum is risky and there's only one way to lessen that risk. >> there's been more produced since the exxon valdez that be in all of history, it's pretty stunning. we've got to get better using oil more efficiently and transitioning to a low oil economy. can't help but worry about another spill. the wreck of the exxon valdez did lead to safer shipping but the demand for oil growing every day, the disaster lives on in the minds of many. daniel lack, al jazeera, off seward, alaska. researchers found in 2012 about 7 million people died because of exposure to air pollution. about half of the deaths 3.7

million people were killed from outdoor air pollution. surprisingly indoor air pollution from cooking with wood, coal and biological material caused on average more deaths than outdoor pollution. between 60 and 80% of deaths were from heart disease and stroke. a portion of the affordable care act will be debated before the supreme court tomorrow. nearly two years after the court upheld president obama's health care overhaul the justices will consider two appeals to a mandate that include that health care plans include contraception. are are libby casey credit reports. >> our family in starting this company we had a real sense barbara and i that god had this purpose in our lives.

>> today the art supply organization. >> the right that's protected by the constitution and by our federal law. in order to honor god they feel they have to run their business consistent with biblical principles. the principle for them is the ability to not have to pay for drugs and devices that they feel terminate life. >> hobby lobby with 500 stores across 400 states is a privately run corporation. they are asking the court that their private company be considered as an individual. the 10th circuit court of appeals upheld that decision last year. but never before, a corporate entity can press a religious free exercise campaign. >> nonprofit corporations and religious hospitals and

universities. and that exemption for for-profit corporation he sets a dangerous precedent. >> this case presents an unprecedented question of whether corporations can use their othe owner's personal rels beliefs. >> national women's council fears this case is about limiting access to contraceptive health care. >> these should be a decision a woman makes with her doctor. fundamentally those decisions are not your boss's business. that's really what's at stake in this case. >> court is credit expected to rule on the case later this summer. 150 troops in four specialty aircraft are being added to an effort, this is being added to the 100 special forces already

working with the african union troops. conee fled his home country of uganda and is believed to be hiding out somewhere in the african jungle. shocked that an egyptian court has sentenced 529 inmates to death. their trial lasted just two days. family members say they're outraged by the punishments and lawyers say it's likely the verdicts will be overturned. egypt has cracked down on the muslim brotherhood ever since forcing it from leadership last july. plus: at her bedside, injured badly by an out-of-control car, a teen gets a personal performance.

richelle carey's interview with the band. next.

>> good evening, i'm meteorologist kevin corriveau. massive landslide that occurred just this last week. what led up to it is all that rain, in the last 30 days, wesh saw 130% of the rain they usually see in the month. we have seen in the area of

where the landslides were, that particular area saw about 200% of the average in terms of rain. normally only seeing about 2.1 inches, saw 5 inches of rain in the last 30 days. they saw a pretty good day today in terms of clear skies but notice just off the coast we do have more rain showers coming into play. the reason is a major storm system is in the pacific, bringing those clouds and rain showers up along the coastal region. it is not only going to be washington that sees the rain. vancouver to parts of northern california but for washington over the next couple of days, we do expect to see one and two more inches of rain. that's a look at your national weather. tony is up with news right after this.
