6:00 am
joao this is bbc america now live from london, bbc news. >> world news. we're live in kuala lumpur. we are live with news about the airplane with 239 people on board. so far they still have no idea of where it is and what happened to it. >> correct, this particular aircraft. when we look at it, it proved that there is a possibility that
6:01 am
it aircraft turned back, but we are not sure whether it is the same. that signal that comes up on the radar screen that shows it's a turn back, we calibrate with the radar of this and to a certain extent we saw something too so it raised the possibility so yet we are not sure. if it turn back, you know, the speed of the aircraft and so on, if it goes there and there is no response by sending some there, just in case i have got to do something. i protected my minister, sir, this is what i think. i would like it 49er form a
6:02 am
search which is already in the we west. it went through the night and where we suspected the aircraft would be and the next morning at first light we said you scour the area, do you see anything? no. it is a possibility and the slightest responsibility must response for the sake of them and their honor. 370. >> were you tracking this in real time, this unidentified object going across the radar, were you tracking it in real time? and if you were, why did you not -- >> no, we did not. we saw a recording of it. we were not sure. it just so happened when we saw the recording of the data, we
6:03 am
have to have response. >> you said you were looking for the aircraft, you're also seeing civilian authorities and the need for help, why not release the raw radar data? >> we did to calibrate this with other radar, with our -- >> the plans for the radar data? >> yes, we plan to release it as long as i know that actions are being taken for the conduct of the search and rescue operations. the next day we contact our friends, please, activate your search which they did immediately. >> if faa and ntsb can confirm that the flight from the raw
6:04 am
data on the flight -- >> yes. [ speaking foreign language ] >> take it one at a time. >> okay?
6:05 am
>> yes? >> i've got question. you see the flight -- >> well, there you have a press conference which has been going on for about 25 minutes now with the transport minister there on the right. of course, the director of civil aviation there on the right and to the right of him or to his left you've got the chief executive of malaysian airlines and on the left you had a general, one of the senior military officers. one of the things that i think is important to raise here, there are 42 ships, 39 aircrafts involved in searching 27,000 square miles of sea and land. largely sea because nothing's been found on land. we can go to a map to remind you where the plane is going from from kuala lumpur friday night
6:06 am
heading northeast towards beijing, the 6 1/2 hour flight. at that point it stops trans ponding on the radar. what we've heard from the director of civil aviation is that they were track -- they could track it on the secondary radar until 1:21 in the morning and then it disappeared. this is all retrospectively, disappeared at 1:30. we've also heard from the military because there are separate radars here that they had a track on the plane until 02:15, 45 minutes later, and they had a track on what they think might have been the plane. if you look closely at the map, about 200 miles northwest of tanang, which is towards the east of where the s is on malacca straits. that means the military has
6:07 am
tracked something they believed was a lane until 02:15 local time 200 nautical miles northwest of tanang. that's c 70 with a direction of 295. now 295 means it's just north of west heading, in other words, northwest. that's what we've just heard. it doesn't result in anything of a mystery. they have found nothing in the last five days. let's go to the bbc's jonathan head who joins me from kuala lumpur airport. jonathan, you've been listening to that. five of the most key people who are obviously desperate and they have literally no information, apart from a degree of speculation based on the primary and secondary radars they've been looking at. >> i think the biggest problem there was a rather frustrated and hostile media who have been here for five days waiting for
6:08 am
information. one of the points was why haven't they released information more clearly. back on the weekend i remember the air force chief, the same man sitting there next to the transport minister, telling us we have some information that suggests the plane may have turned around. that was it. he wouldn't say anymore. now he's telling us there was a plot that the military tracked way off to the northwest into the malacca straits. he couldn't confirm what it was. they weren't tracking it real time. they weren't tracking it real time. they've looked at the plot. he's explained it fairly well today just how little information they have. we have a plane vanishing from civilian radar. communication devices apparently switching off and an hour later a plot that maybe that plane, maybe not, that they found later on recording of military radar and nothing else and that's really extraordinary. it tells you something pretty
6:09 am
drastic must have happened to the plane for all of those communication devices to be turned off. bearing in line, it crossed the peninsula on a clearly wrong flight path for an hour or more. beyond that, it tells you how difficult it's going to be to find this plane if they have absolutely no idea where it went down. >> jonathan, there is an intensity of use now of aircraft with the norma legacy airlines and the low-cost airlines. there's now an intensity of flight in that reasonable gone. is this becoming really quite extraordinary that there is literally no tracking on radar in real time and they're still struggling five days on to even look at the plot of what was going on at the time? >> well, i think if what they're saying may have happened turns out to be the truth, somebody would have to ask some questions about flight safety. you're absolutely right. the explosion of low cost carriers in this region, 600 million people with rising incomes connected strongly to
6:10 am
northeast asia and to the subcontinents as well. you have 2 billion people flying more and more every year, and every single country has got vastly more airlines flying now than even five years ago. these flight paths have to be managed. the one running between singapore and malaysia up through thailand to northeast asia and across vietnam towards the coast of china, these are some of the busiest flight routes anywhere in the world. it does seem extraordinary to us. there's so much we don't know. the malaysian authorities have been struggling with an immensely difficult problem but their communication, the information has been so sparse. you can see the frustration there. general is sayi journalist is saying, if you knew about this plot but couldn't identify it, you could have told us this. there are other incidents. they only confirmed the stolen passport people the other day where we know they had that information many days before. >> jonathan, thanks for helping us at least understand why there
6:11 am
remains mystery and frustration. as he said, it is quite overwhelming for them. let's head to south africa. a full scale model where his girlfriend was reconstructed has been shot dead. the paralympic athlete is standing trial for murder. that's where reeva steenkamp was shot dead in the early morning hours on valentine's day. let's go to bbc joined outside of the courtroom. latest developments please. >> reporter: well, we are hearing from the courtroom now that the defense attorney is now cross examining the state forensic expert who testified saying that it appears that oscar pistorius may have been on his stomach when he tried to break down the door with a correct bat. that contradicts the statement
6:12 am
that oscar pistorius made to the court when he was applying for bail in february of last year when he told the court that he accidentally shot reeva steenkamp through the door and then went back to his bedroom to put on his prosthetic leg and then tried to kick the door open. when that wouldn't work he said he went back to his bedroom to fetch a cricket bat and then tried to open this door. that's a clear contradiction there. so cross examination has now started in court and from what we are hearing is that based on media reports last year that the police may have taken the door and may have removed the actual door from the crime scene and locked it away at a police station for safekeeping, that may come into play here because the defense attorney is likely to ask the court to disregard the information, all the testimony that was given by the state forensic expert here because there are questions surrounding how the evidence was
6:13 am
preserved to this day. >> yes. and we're seeing at the moment the courtroom with that expert where he was actually physically using the cricket bat and you see him on his knees replicating pistorius with his stump and what would have happened if he used the bat standing up. >> that's correct. they tried to make measurements in how tall oscar pistorius is and where the mark on the door would be compared to the demonstration that you just spoke about now where we saw him on his knees trying to make a demonstration in court showing where pistorius -- the mark pistorius would have made had he been on his stump when he tries to break down this door. so basically the evidence that we're hearing from court today is suggests that there was a fight between the couple and
6:14 am
reeva steenkamp may have locked herself into the bathroom and oscar pistorius took his bat and tried to break down the door to get her out of the bathroom before shooting her which is a totally different way that oscar pistorius explained what happened during the early morning hours of valentine's day last year. >> what we're seeing is live from the courtroom and you can see the forensic colonel standing to the bottom left. he's moving across with the cricket bat again to show what happened at the door. let's now move on to aaron who joins me with the business. mr. gouing, on to business. yours and mine, airlines. demand is up but so is the price of fuel. that is certainly the outlook. these airport transportation. in fact, the organization says the global airline industry is
6:15 am
on track for increased profitability due to increased demand as well as air cargo. the group has revised the overall profits down with airlines set to make a billion dollar less than had earlier been forecast. the culprit, i've kind of said it, haven't i, the higher price of oil which has pushed up the cost of fuel. we're going to be speaking with the director general. we have more questions on the airline industry and also the 777 malaysian flight. make sure you stay tuned for that one. the ukrainian prime minister is arriving in washington to meet president obama. he's called on western nations to defend ukraine against russia, a nation he says is armed to the teeth and has nuclear weapons. obama will show the support for the new ukrainian leader, but what can the u.s. and the western allies do to help this near bankrupt country.
6:16 am
again, we've got a special report coming up on that one. we have a lot going on. also, wages are on the up. some of the biggest rises are in the auto sector. they're all announcing pay raises. nissan leads the way with 3.5,000 yen. how much is that? 3 bucks. the government increases sales tax. will they feel better off? we'll talk about that. follow me on twitter. tweet me, i'll tweet you back. find me @bbcaaron. >> thank you. aaron here on bbc news. stay with us for the latest news. chunky spicy chicken quesadilla soup. she gives me chunky before every game. i'm very souperstitious. haha, that's a good one! haha!

6:18 am
you're with "bbc world news." the malaysia transport minister says the search for the missing airliner is unprecedentnd and ever whelming. the oscar pistorius murder trial is showing the toilet door through which he shot and killed his girlfriend. coming up in sport, there are small encouraging signs. michael schumacher's agent hints at an improving situation for the formula 1 driver in a coma. diego's goals help the championship league quarters for the first time in 17 years. thick fog in sochi didn't cloud russia on tuesday as the gold medals kept coming. that's all coming up in around 30 minutes' time. thousands of people have gathered in istanbul for the funeral of a 15-year-old turkish boy who died as a result of injuries he sustained during
6:19 am
last year's protests. there have been clashes in the last 24 hours. he died on tuesday. he had been in a coma for nine months after being hit on the head with a teargas canister. his death sparked more protest in turkey overnight. as we look at those pictures i'm joined from the bbc's turkish service. this incident was back last june. it's now reinflamed everything in istanbul. how passionate are people feeling now? >> people are very, very passionate at this funeral and very sad by the death of this 15-year-old boy who got caught up in police violence during the protests. at this current state turkey is highly politicized and very tense. their election is coming up in a couple of days' time. it's on the 13th of march. also on top of that, there is
6:20 am
discontentment with the current government and allegations of corruption which involved the very key figures of the government and the people close to the prime minister. so in a way, this funeral comes as an expression of an accumulated anger and sorrow for the turkish -- most of the turkish people. >> obviously seeing here the tension involving teargas and there you can see the water cannon. it is a rerun from last june. what about the numbers involved? >> we can talk about thousands. it's not only particularly in istanbul where the funeral is taking place. it's also in the capital ankara and in over 30 other cities all around the country. so this makes it similar to the kez zi park protests. when we talk to correspondents, people who are taking place in this protest, they find resemblance because what they
6:21 am
say is not that it is being led by a particular opposition, political government or union or ngo. this is rather a collective and mixed crowd that is just expressing their sorrow for the death of this 15-year-old boy. >> thank you very much indeed. the funeral now under way in is tall bun. ukraine's acting president has ruled out taking military action against russian forces in crimea. ukraine only has 6,000 combat-ready troops. alexander tu cheen nof says they must on the leave them. sweden's foreign minister was in the east of the country last thursday. he joined me here in london and i asked him if it's accepted by many that really ukraine has lost crimea to russia?
6:22 am
>> in a legal sense we would never accept the annexation by force by russia, never going to be accepted or recognized by the outside world. if you look at pure military power terms, yes, russia is in command of crimea. they in the process of stealing it. whether they would formally incorporate it into russia remains to be seeing. >> do you have any leverage to stop that from having? >> long-term i think we have a lot of leverage. what will happen if russia does this, it's the first time for var long time that we've seen in europe a state, a grabbing and dismembering another state by military force. if that happens by russia and they go all the way, our entire relationship with russia over time across the board will be in danger. at the end of the day russia is far more dependent upon us than we are dependent upon russia.
6:23 am
>> we can go back to last thursday. we have video of you in the eastern mining town. what was the impression you had then given there seems to be a shift towards the russian area of command. >> the industrial and economic heart of ukraine not really russian, but rigs speaking ukraine yeah, distinct from the russians in crimea. they have a separate identity, but within ukraine. they have issue, an element of dissatisfaction with kiev. but no wish whatsoever to take part in any scheme to dismember ukraine. >> president putin seems to have different ambitions. >> he seems to have different ambitions. it looks like they are -- some people are intent on stirring up trouble in the region to creating some sort of pretext
6:24 am
for some other political intervention in order to go for probably some sort of federalization of ukraine with far reaching consequences or in order to influence and be able to have a leverage on ukraine as a whole. >> sweden's foreign minister, carl bildt. the family of michael schumacher says he's showing signs off improvement. he's been in a coma since a ski accident last december. hugh skoef fold has the latest. >> she says the family remains hopeful and confident he will paul through because there are these small encouraging signs from time to time. we've been speaking to a doctor who has been following this very closely. he says what that probably means is there are small signs, signs of reactivity on the part of michael shew mack kerr who has been kept in a coma and they're
6:25 am
trying to slowly wake him out of this coma. what they're probably doing is stimulating him with, for example, music he likes, the presence of family members, maybe some touch, some physical stimulation. what's quite likely to have happened, this is the doctor speaking, is that he's showing some tiny signs of reacting to these stimuli. maybe it's just a question of an eyebrow raising or a twitch of a hand or heart rate going up or something like that. but these are enough to give doctors and the family the hope that he could still recover. because even though it's know nearly three months since the accident and, therefore, so much has been written about the pessimistic side, doctors continue to say, until a year has passed, every possible prognosis is possible. he could still come out of this and recover fully.
6:26 am
>> hugh scoffield there in paris. let me give you the latest on mh 47 o 0. malaysian authorities are searching two areas, the staits of mall lack cac. military recordings say it probably disappeared around 2:15 heading northwest, away from malaysia, but not towards china.

. lower profits expected for the world's airlines as tensions for ukraine push up over oil price. on a mission to gain much-needed financial support. the prime minister of ukraine
6:32 am
heads to washington. hello everybody. i'm aaron heslehurst. welcome to the program. a fascinating and exciting watch in the world of business and money. we'll talk about that mission, the ukrainian mission heading to washington. first let's talk about this. demand is up for passenger and cargo flights, but so is the price of fuel, and that will hit profitability at airlines around the world in this coming year. combined the world's airlines are expected to make $18.7 billion this year, and all of this according to the international air transport association, iarta. it is less than previously thought. tensions in places like argentina and brazil are both expected to challenge airlines.
6:33 am
there are still very few clues about the major airline mystery, missing malaysian flight 370. we're going to go hopefully to geneva and speak to tyler taylor, the director general. let's move on to the ukrainian prime minister is arriving in washington to meet president barack obama. he's called on western nations to defend russia, a nation armed to the teeth. just what can the u.s. and western allies actually do to help the near bankrupt country. michelle fleury has this report from new york. >> reporter: the symbolism of this meeting is clear. the white house stands behind this man, economic and lawyer, ukraine's interim prime minister. washington's support for him
6:34 am
comes at a crucial time. not only are the people of crimea poised to join russia, his government is in talks with the international monetary fund for desperately needed rescue loans. >> the economy has been in recession since 2012, very high current account deficits, high fiscal deficits. >> reporter: beyond words, what action is the u.s. proposing? there is, of course, financial aid in the form of loan guarantees and attempts to isolate russia. but the options there are limited according to professor timothy fry. >> financial sanctions historically have not been proven to be a very effective method. they're a pretty blunt tool. not a lot of trade between the u.s. and russia. >> the obama administration played down reports that moscow might cut glass supplies to ukraine or other parts of europe in retaliation against u.s.-led sanctions. >> any disruption to russia's energy shipments to ukraine and through ukraine to europe is a
6:35 am
lose-lose situation for everyone, most particularly for russia. >> reporter: it's also dismissing calls to export its own natural gas. showing the limits of american foreign policy there's little the u.s. can do in terms of economic measures to help ukraine which is why the tone and nature of president obama's meeting with ukraine's interim prime minister will be so important. michelle fleury, bbc news, new york. as promised, let's head straight over to geneva and speak to the big boss, tony tyler director of the international transport association. great to have you on the program. once again, the volatile fuel prices continue to dent airlines' profits. i want to ask you this, if airlines have their hedging right, that's where an airline buys its fuel for a set price for a set period of time, if
6:36 am
they've got that right with these recent oil price rises wouldn't have an impact, would they? >> many airlines around the world, of course, attempt to hedge their fuel risks, but when the fuel price goes up, certainly some airlines who have their hedging right will benefit from it and won't have to pay all the costs of that additional fuel price, but many airlines will still be hit and over all the industry will suffer. what we're forecasting now is that fuel remain much the same price as last year. our earlier forecast we foresaw a small reduction in the price of fuel. but with ukraine and other pressures now make that unlikely. >> all the regions around the world, north america, asia pacific, latin america, africa, et cetera, all expected to post a profit. the biggest contributor will be the north american an lines.
6:37 am
it wasn't that long ago that the u.s. carriers were all in a bit of a mess. how have they turned that picture around and any lessons for other airlines in any parts of the world? >> one of the main things that has happened in north america has been the consolidation we've seen over the last six or seven years. we've seen consolidation into the big guys, american airlines combined with u.s. air, we've seen delta and northwest come together, united and continental. so we've now got those three big airlines, plus southwest. there's still a few smaller airlines in different regions. the consolidation, the change in structure of the industry has made a big difference and then well-run businesses running very much as businesses folk kg cussing on the bottom line, on return on investment and they're showing some of the benefits of doing just that. of course, the overall strength in the u.s. economy las helped them as well.
6:38 am
>> sure has. air cargo, typically always been a great indicator for the global economy, how strong are you expecting air cargo to be this year and what does it tell us. >> we're expecting it to be a bit stronger than we thought. although overall we've downgraded our forecast profit for the year by a billion dollars, that's actually a $3 billion cost in the rise of fuel in round numbers, offset by round numbers again, about a $2 billion in improvement in our forecast for cargo revenues for the year. so we are seeing some -- we're foreseeing a bit of an improvement in the fortunes of air cargo which has been pretty much flat lining since 2010 since it came off the post recession recovery peak in 2010. >> tony, while i've got you, i would be remiss to ask you your thoughts about this mystery about the missing malaysian
6:39 am
airlines flight, unprecedented. five days and we still haven't found any sight or sound of it. with the majority of chinese passengers, could something like this have an impact on chinese travellers this year do you think? >> our hearts go out to all the families and loved ones of the missing passengers. of course, that is -- it's a terrible human story, isn't it? but, of course, the priority has to be to find out what's happened, find the aircraft and find out what's happened and then, of course, apply the lessons learned to make sure this thing can never happen again. let's put it in context. air travel remains an extremely safe way of getting around the world. i think most passengers and most potential passengers understand that. and we're not expecting it to have a significant impact on the
6:40 am
trends of air travel growth. >> tony, great stuff. we appreciate your time. tony tyler, the director general of iarta. quick flash of the markets. all down in the red. not good. follow me on twitter. let's going on today. tweet me, i'll tweet you back. you can get me @bbcaaron. stick around, sport today coming up next.

hello. i'm nick mccormack, this is sport today on bbc. coming up, small encouraging signs michael schumacher's agent hints at an improving situation for the formula one world champion who is in a coma. costas strikes again. his goals help madrid make the champion's league quarters for the first time in 17 years. thick fog in sochi didn't crowd russia on tuesday as the gold medals kept coming. thanks for joining us. michael schumacher's agent says the seven-time formula one champion will wake from his coma. the german was medically induced into his unconscious state more than two months ago after a skiing accident in the french alps. in a statement released on wednesday they said we in the end remain confident that michael will pull through and
6:45 am
will wake up. there are sometimes small encouraging signs, but we also know that this is the time to be very patient. it was clear from the state that this will be a long and hard fight for michael, we are taking this fight on together with the team of doctors whom we fully trust. the length of the process is not the important part for us, and we believe that he will win this fight. arson venger was involved in a wore afterwards, blaming for arsenal's champion's league exit. it was a 1-1 draw, but that condemned arsenal to their fourth successive exit at this stage of the competition. >> robin is very good at getting maximum of nothing and he's a great player, as well a very good diver. he gets in front of a play and slows down and goes down.
6:46 am
the referee, if he gives him a yellow card on the first one when he goes down, he will not do it again. >> diego costa can take praise for help spain reach the last eight of the tournament for the first time since 1997. they beat milan 4-1. here is our football reporter john bennett. >> really good display particularly in the second half. but this wasn't as easy as the score line perhaps suggests. milan in the first half had plenty of the game. the key moment was a goal on 14 minutes which made it 2-1 on the night to atletico madrid. it was scored by the turkey international. dye diego costa scored seven goals in five champion's league appearances this season. he's the striker in world football at the moment. nobody will want to face agent let ka in the quarterfinals.
6:47 am
they have a fantastic home record, only one defeat in 23 matches this season. they're in to the last eight for the first time in 17 seasons. as for milan, this ends a poor season for italian teams in the champion's league. for the first time, no italian side in the last eight. it was always going to be so, so difficult for arsenal. arsene wenger, so difficult from the first leg. a fantastic record at the arena. as soon as bassian shrine steiger scored the goal, the tie was over. arsenal did have a couple of chances, but it was by mun neck who in the end missed paneality at the end of well. thomas mueller missing the spot kick.
6:48 am
munich looked so strong this year, closing in on the champion's league title. no team in the modern champion's league era has managed to reclaim the trophy two years. i wonder if they'll be the first to break that record. >> our football reporter john bennett. in the asian champion's league, al jazeera had victory at al shabaab the abu dhabi team went on to win 3-1. also in group a, the iranian side had a game to forget, especially the goalkeeper, a mistake here that led to the only go of the game. he gets the leap right, but sets up for easy into the net. they moved to the top of group b in uzbekistan. the qatari side opened up a
6:49 am
2-nil lead. the homicide pulled a goal back in stoppage time, but they hang on to win, 2-1 the score. iranian team fulad edged out al fateh. ramen any put away the spot kick. 1-0 the final skill. it's day five of the winter paralympics in sochi. the pair olympian org y'ally from russia has taken a silver medal. tatiana mcfadden is a wheelchair racer who took all titles in the ipc world athletics and holds all four major marathon titles in wheelchair racing. russia dominated day four of the sochi paralympics on tuesday winning four gold medals on the
