a recovering, meaning heavy equipment can be used. as relatives and friends agonize over slow progress, survivors, like robin, are counting their blessings. >> i have no idea how i came out without being crushed. >> that survivor, robin, who thanked her searcher. he spotted her from a helicopter. they were circling the area they were in. >> it's been a week since the accident. are officials reluctant to call it a recovery mission instead of a rescue. >> here we are a week later, and they are calling it a rescue operation, and not a recovery operation. as i mentioned in the story,

russian leaning city of donetsk, we have jonah. russian troops are carrying out military exercises. was vladimir putin's call a diplomatic fake-out? >> sorry, i didn't get the second bit of your question, what was it about vladimir putin's phone call. >> absolutely. despite his phone call, russian troops are carrying out military exercises. was vladimir putin's phone call, in theory, a diplomatic fake-out? >> i think it's anybody's guess what vladimir putin's phone call was intended to achieve or, indeed, what he may yet be planning to do. diplomatic efforts continue, of course, to try to de-escalate - the word used, de-escalate the crisis over ukraine.

as we know, the numbers of russian troops across the border, close to where i'm standing in east ukraine and south ukraine continues to rise. is that a pressure tactic intended to apply pressure? possibly. some feel vladimir putin may be intending to invade. things must progress here as they are. the election season is beginning. a number of weeks until the election itself on 25 may, and the candidates are declaring their intention from this weekend. yulia tymoschenko, vitaly klitschko, and another, among the leading contenders. not that it means much to people in eastern ukraine, where in a

square behind me as in many squares across the region, there's a rally calling for federalism. here they'd rather split from central rule in kiev and make their own decisions. they want to keep their ties to russia, and are skeptical of intentions. >> thank you jonah. >> back to the malaysia airlines plane. joining us is jay rolin, al jazeera america's aviation analyst. china said it spotted debris, and five aircraft flying over the area spotted what they call multiple objects. is this a good idea to announce this each and every day without concrete evidence? >> in is all we have at the

moment. good morning to you. this is the best lead that we have. it's a satellite depiction of where the debris is. it gives us an opportunity to search. we would be remiss not to. at this point once they lay eyes on a logo or the colour scheme of the malaysian airliner, or pull up a piece out of the water that turps out to be from the aircraft, ta will confirm this is where the aircraft is. new information revealed shows that the plane was moving faster than investigators thought, putting in an area better believed. can you help us understand how they reach that conclusion. >> sure. this originally was accomplished by m mar sat who owns the

satellite that communicate with the a.c.a.r. system. it was never set up to track aircraft, only to chunt -- communicate. what mr stat did was took into account a doppler theory which says any moving object will change the frequency slightly, and, therefore, they studied the slight changes in the frequency each time the ping occurred one hour apart, and from there they used mathematics to determine it was likely to have landed in the general vicinity that they first searched. now they have refined that because they took a look at the aircraft, and they determined it was going faster than what they originally assaulted in their mathematics. to that extent very a refined

it. it would be going faster. the reins shorter and the new area closer to malaysia. >> while all this is going on, on the criminal front investigators are coming up short. if that is true, do you think we'll know what brought down the plane? >> that's why it's so important, morgan, to find the black boxes. it will give us an understanding of what the manoeuvring was. that will tell us about the pilots intentions. at this point it's hard to say, but if we confirmed that the aircraft is, in fact, to the south, it lends itself to the theory that the pilots were somehow involved, one or both, or a hijacker that forced it to the south. the lasted in is week because

most hijackers want to make a big scene and flying to a remote part of the world is not something that you would do, but maybe something someone sues eyedal. >> suicidal, you say. >> why would you go there, do the manoeuvring to the west, make no radio contact and turn to the south. they had to turn to the south it end up in this location. they have to confirm this is the aircraft to shore up the theory. if it's not there, we have to start over. >> the new search zone that they announce perhaps gives us indication as to the motive. otherwise had it remained in the

previous search zone, the motive would have been different? >> no, the fact that we are searching in the south indian ocean is the point. >> okay. got it. jay rollins, al jazeera america's aviation analyst joining us from fort lauderdale. >> gm recalled officer 2 million vehicles, connected to the admission switches. gm is facing a growing number of lawsuits, now, a congressional inquiry is expected in the coming days. gm unexpectedly stopped sales of some models of its popular chevy crews. it's due to the risk of a front right axel separating. >> federal bureau of investigation are investigating the shootings of a homeless camper by albuquerque police.

a traditional student gets six credits a year. last year she had 10. >> there are places like boston and new york, bigger cities, there are issues with homeless youth. as you go into the rural areas, there's less awareness. it's important to have programs available to the youth because it gives them time and a safe place to be. there are people here who care about them and help them move forward. >> sometimes the people that are trying to help you are the ones you should let help you. they want to offer help. >> i'm excited to graduate because i'll be away from my roots. it will be odd. it's worth it. i'll open every opportunity to me. you can do so much more with a high school diploma than without one. >> i'm not there yet.

arlington. >> good morning. the governor of washington state jay emmsly asked for a moment of silence at 10:37. the exact moment the landslide struck the community of oso washington. meantime the search continues against a backdrop of stormy weather. you can see behind me rain is falling. the winds are quite gusty at the moment. thunder storms are forecasted for this afternoon. this as a challenging search becomes more difficult as searchers look for any survivors and helicopters transport victims to the medical examiner. >> it's been a week since the massive wall of mud came down on the town of ossos. defecating the -- oso. devastating the community.

a body was located on friday, but crews were unable to retrieve the victim. >> i believe the crews are finding bodies in the field, it's a slow process. it was miserable. it rained heavy. it made the quick sand worse. >> despite finding no survivors, officials continue to hold out hope. meanwhile survivors begin to talk about their experiences. >> first we heard a roar. i thought maybe there was a 747 or something going down. it was so loud. >> robin youngblood narrowly escaped the crash of mud, trees and debris. we looked out the window and there was a gigantic wall of mud racing across the valley. it must have been going at 50 miles per hour, and it hit us. her home was destroyed. she survived. the chances of fining someone

alive a week later are slim. it's becoming more difficult to identify the bodies. operations folks made me aware that they did locate one more victim in the debris field. we are not including it in the total until we reach the medical examiners office. >> it may not be long before it turps from a rescues mission. it could mean backhoes and heavy machinery to look for victims. as rely testifies and friends -- relative and friends agonised over slow progress, survivors are counting their blessings. >> i have no idea how they came out without being crushed from limb to limb. survivor robin youngblood thanked her safe are who rescued her. he was in a helicopter circling the area. back to you.

she was identified. so i wasn't going to believe it until i got over there and saw it. it was something i had to have proof of to make sure i had that closure. i didn't want someone to say "she's here", and she leaves. and i never know and see her in that situation and see her leave. i wanted and needed to see her leave that situation. and i did. summer was driving to pick up tools when swpt away by the mud slide. the car was pushed 500 feet off the road in mud that was 10 feet deep. >> if you look at how the weather could affect the rescue, let's turn to meteorologist eboni deon. >> we are going to keep the rain around for the weekend. we are dealing with an onshore flow. it's dragging all the moisture off the pacific north coast. it's moving to the north. we have a cold front extending behind us. temperatures are colder, going

from rain to snow in some locations. that's why we have winter weather advisories. snow levels to 4,000 feetment notice the small area shaded in green. that's the area where we have the flash flood watch. with rain, it will allow the debris that's been lodged to flow. we are watching out for rapid rideses in the water. it doesn't look like an imminent threat. it could be the case thanks to the rain. more on the way as we get into sunday and monday. today it looks like the north-west will be unsettled we are talking rain and snow. >> thank you so much. speaking of the natural elements, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake rattled the area. the u.s. geological area said it

australia yesterday. but until anything is pulled from the water, nothing can be confirmed. the search includes an area more than 1,100 miles west of perth australia. let's turn to randall pinkston, who has been following the story from the beginning. >> good morning. that search area is a new search area based on tracking data indicating that flight mh370 may have been travelling faster, using more fuel than previously thought and probably hitting the sea earlier. there's search planes spotting debris. nothing retrieved. until that is done, nothing can be confirmed. >> while the search continues, lawyers across the globe are preparing for legal action. australia prime minister summarised the stakeholders in the tragedy. >> legal responsibility for the recovery and investigation rests

with the malaysian government as the owner of the aircraft. nevertheless, a number of other countries have a legal stake in it. the americans, as the manufacture as of the manufacture of the aircraft, the british as the manufacturer of the engines, the french as the supplier of the avionics and the chinese as the country of most of the citizens who perished in mh370. so in the end there are a lot of countries with a stake in this. we had citizens on the plane as well. it went down in australia search and rescue zones. >> and the search is over again today with nothing conclusive having been found. it will continue tomorrow. >> so, rarned am, what then needs to be done to verify if, of course, any of the objects are from the plan? >> well, obviously as you

indicated they have to find something in the ocean, retrieve it and test it to see if it matches. in aircraft manufacturing objects are stampeded with a serial number. it is possible they could take a photograph from a search plan and see something that says mh370, or more likely the serial number for the 777 which was the model of the aircraft that went down. the best way is to physically retrieve it from the ocean, take it to a lab and test for a patch. >> randall pinkston joining us life from washington d.c. >> gunmen and afghanistan stormed a building. police are rushing to the scope of kabul. the attack is one in a series of afghanistan's presidential election coming next week. on friday, taliban fighters attacked a building that housed

an attempt to mend ties. >> president obama came to saudi arabia to reassure the saudis and their king that the united states was a strong alley, despite saudi arabia anger and open brakes over the last 6-8 months. first when president obama backtracked and didn't go forward with tomahawk missile launches in punishment of bashar al-assad, after deploying weapons against his own people. and iran, when the yates netted in secret in the country of oman to get the iranians to the table to talk about the nuclear program. the talks began in geneva. senior administration officials briefing reporters on the trip. the president wanted to come and look in the eyes of king abdullah and assure him on the issue of iran, one of saudi

arabia's main regional rival. they met for two hours in a compound owned by king abdullah, secretary of state john kerry was there. it's the issue of arming the rebless. the saudi arabians have been known to want to give them man pads. the united states has been reluctant to do that. they have been providing nonlethal aid. the more comfortable they become with the moderate elements, the more likely they'll increase the aid. the president concluding his week-long trip, returning over the weekend to washington. >> during the president's visit, the issue of human rights was not on the table because administration officials reportedly said the president didn't have time to discuss it.

it's important that the president obama savoured other matters over human right. >> you mentioned women, but president obama presented a saudi arabia women's rights activist with an award. saudi arabia pledged to defy a driving band. are saudi women making any stride in breaking down bar yours. yes, they are, in relation to domestic violence and driving bans. the women were driving in defines of the ban. woman, to some extent, are taking marts into their own hands. it's important to keep in mind the male guardianship system, by which women are treated as

minors exists. women require male guardians permission to get a passport and travel outside the country, under go medical procedures and access higher education. this is unacceptable. women's rights in saudi arabia - for there to be progress, it need to start at the beginning of the system. >> speaking of real progress, the saudi arabia u.s. relationship has been clear. the u.s. provides security and saudi arabia oil. for example, the u.s. is changing relationship with iran or the fact that the u.s. rles also on saudi arabia oil production than before. >> yes, that could be the case. based on the evidence of the

vits it, the two countries are close. barack obama, the u.s. president - others will lisp to what he has to say. it's a shame the u.s. is not more forceful in advocating human rites. at a time when the saud yes are committing wide-spread abuses against fill society, discrimination against women and migrant workers, it's too bad that the president or u.s. officials weigh in forcefully on the issues. the relationship is such that the saud yes do not like it. >> let's have a look at the letter you september. saudi arabian have: >> do you plan to keep you your pressure of the president.

>> absolutely. in fact, i want to say that two major human right activists are scheduled to be - the time decision in their trials will be handed down next week, based on previous rules, they'll probable be quibility. as the president leaves the country, two more major human rights act visits are going to gaol, are in gaol. we are absolutely going to continue following the development, and push the u.s. and other countries with the saudi arabia authorities to issue statements. to end the crack down and release the activists and improve their performance. >> thank you so much for being

could be encouraging extremism. >> it's a situation where urban youth who study could be greeted by criminals or terrorists alike. >> the faith first of all overflow. unless by force, it seems no one is going anywhere. >> the u.n. refugee agency estimates half a million somalian refugee is in kenya. >> defence secretary chuck hagel plans to triple cyber security staff, designed to prevent internet attacks that affect national security. there should be 6,000 cyber professionals working for defence in six years. >> america adapted to new
