why. good of you to join us. >> thank you for thissing me. >> the show may be over, but the conversation continues on the website aljazeera.com. or facebook or google+. >> welcome to al jazeera america. i'm del walters. these are the stories we're following for you. >> it's probably the best information that we've had. >> investigators now saying new signals are detected possibly from those black boxes of a missing plane. 100 days behind bars. egypt continues to hold all three al jazeera journalists. tensions rising in ukraine as government protesters take over a building in the eastern part

of the country. >> we begin with new developments in the search for the missing malaysian flight 370. signals are detected that are similar to those given off by planes black boxes. >> reporter: this could be the breaks that investigators are hoping for. we've had a lot of false hopes since this aircraft disappeared a month ago. but we're learning that the australian ship, the ocean shield has picked up two different pinging sounds, that's very promising. here was the announcement in australia. >> significantly this would be consistent with transmissions from both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice

recorder. clearly this is the most promising lead. and probably in the search so far it's the--it's probably the best information that we have had. we haven't found the aircraft yet. we need further confirmation. >> now, the ship heard one of those pings for more than two hours, but the key now is to try to locate those pings. again that has not been possible. if they can get a better sense of where that sound is coming from they will send a remote underwater device with sonar and camera to see if they can find records or find the black boxes there was a chinese ship that heard pinging as well. that was in a different search area, but the real hope and focus is on what this australian vessel has now heard. >> let's talk about the battery life of those black boxes. is it possible that they can last longer than the 30 days we keep

hearing about? >> the 30 days is really today. the boxes are certified to last about--the battery on the box iser isfied to last 30 days to have that pinging noise come out, but there is wiggle room, definitely to last a little bit longer, but the question is how long. they're really racing against the clock. >> lisa stark for us in washington, d.c. thank you very much. well, today is day 100. 100 days now that our three al jazeera staff members have been in prison in egypt. their trial will resume on thursday. this trial is getting a lot of international attention. >> you know, del, it certainly is. s an extraordinary thing. i don't think any of us in the al jazeera media organization expected this to go on as long as it has. 100 days. peter greste's mother even said that she keeps thinking it's going to end, but it keeps going

on and on and on. many have been joining al jazeera today to show solidarity for al jazeera colleagues. there have been four al jazeera colleagues who have been detained in egypt. you see bbc broadcasting house in london. this is a huge media organization. it's a little bit bigger than the al jazeera organization. and this previously journalist staff broadcasting house in london. and there you see them with the black tape on their mouths and signs being held up saying that journalism is not a crime. >> my brother is a professional award winning journalist. he is no way that he is associated with a political group. this is the worst feeling. i cannot even describe it in words. he is a very fine and warm person who is always concerned about us all.

we need him back. >> that ithat is mohammed's bro. mohammed is our bureau chief in cairo, and the fourth journalist, he has been detained since last august, in fact. that's longer than the other three, and he's on hunger strike, and his wife said that his health is deteriorating. >> a lot of people ask a lot of times what did they do? they do what we do. they report all sides of the story. >> that's why journalists all around the world, including the bbc is joining us in solidarity to try to get these people out. that's exactly right, del. they're doing what journalists do. and we do it here at al jazeera, which is to try to get both sides of the story. so the egyptian authority--you remember after moss any mubara-r hosni mubarak fell, there was

the effectively military coup that no one wanted to call a military coup. peter greste and others were trying to get the news from the muslim brotherhood but the egyptian government accused them of spreading false news. al jazeera media organization has said that it is absolutely absurd. but that's their crime, and they've now been in jail 100 days up to this point. we have another person for you to meet now. this is the brother of our cairo producer, and he talks about his brother and how he's holding up. >> he has two children. four and three years old. he's expecting a new child. he is a very kind person. all of our relatives and friend like him so much.

he has trained as a professional journalist. he was trained by three bureau chiefs of japanese media. journalism is not a crime. >> that's the thing. journalism is not a crime. that's why you see journalists all over the world joining us in solidarity because there are free speech implications here. >> this has to be terrible for the family members. we sat down with peter greste's parents. they're hopeful that their son will one day be released. >> when you first heard that peter had been arrested, did you imagine that he would still be detained 100 days later? >> absolutely not. i didn't know how long it would take, but i didn't expect it to be--probably just a couple of days at the most. >> well, clearly our initial response was, well, mistakes do

happen. this is clearly a mistake. it's all going to be over in a few days. never ever did we imagine that we would be marking the 100s day. >> how are you coping? >> i would like to think that i'm coping well, but there have been many occasions when i think i've just about reached the end of my tether. i don't know what happens to people once they get over that edge, but i feel that i'm not very far from whatever it means cracking. you know, we're not far from that point. >> we're exhausted, tired, and we feel as if we're running on empty all the time now. >> are you hopeful? >> hopeful that it will all be finished on thursday. yes. that's the heart saying, and the

braihead is staying a little bit more cautious. >> very modest expectations. >> have you been surprised by all the attention? >> absolutely. it has been amazing and wonderful. we just are so grateful to everyone out there for that--for the support that we've had in all of these directions. >> and my message to the people of egypt would be that however hard it has been for peter and us, i most sincerely hope that peter is the last of his kind to find himself in the present circumstances. i trust that no more journalists would find themselves in these kinds of difficulties in the course of doing their job at the best of their ability. >> and coming up at noon
