hello. i'm nik gowing with "bbc world news." our top stories, relatives of chinese passengers on the missing malaysian airliner forcibly dragged away while speaking to journalists. ukraine's deputy prime minister and acting defense minister are on their way to crimea as pro russian activists enter ukraine's naval base. jacob zuma in the spotlight, a controversial report that public money was used to fund

upgrades to his home is released. more than 20 years after the death of hollywood legend march layne nah deitrich some of her personal belongings are up for auction. hello everyone. day 12 since malaysian airlines flight mh370 disappeared with the aircraft and 239 passengers, still not found. two relative ps of chinese passengers on the airliner were forcibly dragged away speaking to journalists at a media center in kuala lumpur. the two brought a long white banner in words in chinese characters saying we protest against the malaysian government for hiding the truth and for wasting time in finding the passengers. in an update on the search operation itself, malaysia's

acting transport minister reports that the plane had been seen in the maldives, those reports are untrue. he said the investigation into crew, passengers and ground staff goes on. analysts are trying to recover dater apparently deleted from the pilot's personal flight simulator. 26 countries are involved in the search, looking for the plane in two giant arcs to the north and south of its last known location. let's go to kuala lumpur. he's standing in front of the police because of that incident with the two chinese relatives. jonah, you join us live. what's going on. >> reporter: you can see this line of police here, this is the journal it's hotel where we've been for the last 12 days, this is where the press conferences have been taking place every day. there are separate hotels where the relatives have been saying.

today two chinese relatives decided to come here to speak to the journalists. they started speaking to chinese journalists downstairs. then the authorities obviously heard about it and they came and dragged them away. i was there when they were dragged away screaming and kicking down the stairs, put in another room. of course, the journalists had all heard about it by then. so they were following as well. now there's some sort of cordon set up to keep the journalists away from these chinese relatives who, in fact, do want to speak to us, really an indication of how sensitive the malaysians are to criticism about how the investigation is going. >> more broadly, jonah, what about the atmosphere, not just with those two relatives, but with others as well in that hotel and the hotel where they're staying? >> reporter: well, really the

best comparison, nik, is with what's been happening in beijing, the relatives there kept briefed by the malaysian airlines officials on a daily basis. those meetings have people shouting at the malaysian officials. everything here up till now has been relatively tightly controlled by the malaysians. there are lots of people stopping them speaking to us freely. it's been hard to get a sense of the frustration. we know they've been very angry. >> for the moment, thanks, jonah. come back when anything more emerges. the brief is now over. there is a reminder of the two arcs which are there in the northern area and the southern area. theo leggett is monitoring all the developments. we've had a briefing far shorter than usual. what emerged from it, theo? >> very little. the search is still being carried out along those two vast

corridors, from kazakhstan in the north to the southwest indian ocean. no trace of the air croft has been found at the moment. 26 countries involved in the search. what we did get from the malaysian authorities is that some radar intelligence has been shared by other countries. we're not allowed to know what. >> they made a point saying we cannot reveal -- >> that is understandable. there would be military sensitivities involved. the malaysians also say -- reports that the aircraft was seen at a very low level in the maldives -- >> that's well to the west within the indian ocean, well to the south of asia there. >> indeed. there were reports that a low-flying aircraft with coloring was spotted. the malaysian authorities say that those reports are not true. they wouldn't have worked in sense of timing in any case. we can presumably discount those. they also said that all the passengers and crew aboard the

aircraft are being investigated as a matter of course, and the flight simulator taken from the pilot's house, it's been suggested that a data logon that flight simulator was deleted on the 3rd, a few days before the plane took off. the acting transport minister was also very careful to say that everybody on board is considered innocent until proven guilty of anything. >> there was also one report in the last few hours suggesting that the plane had actually got an instruction to start turning west about 12 minutes before the last known contact with ground control. what did he say to that? >> he said those reports were not true and he wanted to discount that. theo, thank you very much indeed. really not much more to report ab part from the australians saying they discovered nothing in the vast area west of australia. you can find plenty more background on the complexity of

this hunt for malaysian airlines ml 370 on our website. go to bbc.com/missingplane for a detailed breakdown of what we know so far, the timings and the look at how a search for a plane is conducted. let's move on now to crimea where tension continues. ukraine is sending its acting defense minister and deputy prime minister to the region in crimea in an attempt to resolve the situation. that's after russia signed its bill to absorb the region. crimea's pro russian leader says those two ministers won't be allowed in. meanwhile, pro russian protesters have broken into the navy base and hoisted russian flags. on tuesday president putin signed the bill to bring crimea back to russia. we just heard russia's constitutional court june announcely declared the annexation to be legal. that paves the way for it to be ratified by parliament by this

weekend. the bbc's mark lowen has more. >> reporter: it's very hard to imagine this province will be brought back under the control of kiev. everywhere you look there are rgs flags. they announced the ruble will be brought in as the official currency. clearly the trappings of ukrainian states have been slowly and steadily erased. that comes on top of a tension in the military standoff. we had last night the first death as a result of this military confrontation in a base here which was stormed by a pro russian grew, one ukrainian soldier killed in a burst of gunfire. two others severely enter. this morning reports that they've entered a base in sevastop sevastopol. clearly the military tension has

been ramped up. the worst tension between east and west since the end of the cold war. >> given that there are ukrainian military still technically in their bases, although many of them have been over come by the russian defense forces, is it clear what the orders are from kiev to these ukrainian military personnel? >> reporter: the orders from kiev are very clear, which is that these personnel are under control of the republic of ukraine and they should not move and should not switch sides. that said, there has been a military truce agreed between ukraine and russia until friday to attempt some sort of negotiation. it's difficult to say how this will end. russia, the russian troops and pro russia civilian groups are ordering the bases evacuated. there are thousands of ukrainian soldiers still here in crimea. this is a big sticking point as crimea tries to move forward,

will the bases be stormed and further occupied by russian troops? will there be some kind of modus operandi struck between the two sides? it's very unclear. while ukraine and the west don't recognize the annexation of crimea, it seems very unlikely that the soldiers will simply give up. meanwhile ukraine's army is under orders to defend their territory in the east of ukraine. that's as hush yeah builds forces across the border. bbc's steve rosenberg reports from a village where the people are far from happy about their presence. >> reporter: the village here is a quiet, empty place. rather it was until they pitched up. this is the 25th airborne division, one of ukraine's elite units, they arrived on sunday,

set up camp and hunkered down on the edge of the village. they're here to defend their country, but they're not welcome. >> we're about 20 miles away from the border with russia. we found these ukrainian army units in a field. but the villagers who live nearby are angry. they say this puts them in danger and they've asked the troops to leave. after an emergency meeting of the villagers, the soldiers have been given their marching orders. their commander tells me he can understand why people are nervous, but the troops, he says, are only doing their duty, keeping the mother land safe. the local farmers don't agree with that. one of the officers said to us the russians have paid you, haven't they, to kick us out? sergei tells me, it's not true.

look at my hand. i'm a worker, a farmer. i put so much money into my business, i don't need any conflict in this business. military convoys have run into trouble in other parts of eastern ukraine with pro russian activists trying to block them from reaching the border. it makes an already difficult situation even more tense. meanwhile at crossing points into russia, security was noticeably tightened. the ukrainians have set up these tent traps, and away from the official border post we were taken to see the trenches which have been dug all along the frontier, just in case russia decides to invade. steve rosenberg, bbc news, eastern ukraine. >> we'll keep you posted on developments in crimea, particularly if those two ministers from kiev get into crimea. israeli warplanes have bombed inside syria. the attack follows roadside bomb which wounded four israeli

soldiers in the disputed golan heights on tuesday. israel says it targeted a syrian army training facility, making it the most serious escalation on the ceasefire line with syria since the 1973 middle east war. south africa's anti-corruption watch dog is due to lease a report into the use of government funds to refurbish president jacob zuma's rural home. about $20 million of work has been done to this house in northeastern village. work included security upgrades. president zuma has repeatedly told parliament he used his own family's money. a government investigation in december cleared him of any wrongdoing. let's move on now with the business. jamie joins me. janet yellen fully in control of the u.s. federal reserve. >> her first meeting, taking the hot seat. she will chair the second day of

her first federal reserve meeting since she's seceded ben bernanke on february 1st. the biggest testimony will be how she manages the fed shift from firefighting mode back into effectively neutral. the u.s. central bank has already begun cutting its large cash injections in the economy. that was at the height of the financial crisis nearly six years ago. later today they will announce whether they'll gradually reduce, tapering it as it's called. a year ago cyprus was desperately trying to stave off a bankruptcy. its banks were closed. and after tough negotiations cyprus received a 10 billion euro bailout from international lenders. for the first time those with larger deposits were made to pay a high price, holdings scalped, taken away entirely in some cases, to help pay closing one bank, propping up others.

later in the "world business report" we'll hear from the country's finance minister who says cyprus's banks are on the mend. we had quite a strong day in the markets yesterday, fairly mixed picture, nothing dramatic. uk has a budget coming out today. euro-dollar strong, towards 1.40 which is quite impressive. the asian markets are fairly mixed. there was a fair amount of not exactly optimism, but relief very much in contrast with what's going on on the political front. there's relief in the markets about what's happened in ukraine. there is a feeling about putin's statements saying he didn't want a split ukraine. the feeling in the market is the tensions are being released -- relieved as it were, very much in contrast with what the politicians are saying. that's it. back with more later. >> thanks, jamie. here on "bbc world news,"

kilometers away from norway's shared border with russia. today these nato soldiers are practicing winter warfare techniques. this was planned before the recent tensions in crimea. the norwegian commander has no fear of cross-border conflict from the north. >> it's always important for military forces to cope with any military circumstances you need top rate in. right now we describe our part of the north as the high north low tension. the currents situation in crimea and ukraine is not a factor with us that much in a military perspective. in my view it's more of a political issue. >> reporter: while nato nations are making huge cuts to their defense spending, norway is among the few investing. one of these vehicles brand new would cost more than 6.5 million

euros. they currently have 146 of them on order. some here say russia's actions in crimea should remind nations of the importance in investing in the nato partnership, both financially and practically through joint training exercises like this one. these are british veterans using their injuries to help forces plan their responses to traumatic events in the future. the u.s. marine corps is here and key to point out that this is not a response to any specific threat. >> i think even afghanistan, the eastern part of afghanistan it's very cold. i don't know that we know where, but this is about being ready all the time, get back to this core relationship we've had over the few decades will give us the ability to do anything in the future. that's why this is important. >> reporter: anna holligan, bbc news, inside the arctic circle.

spanish police released a video showing hundreds of migrants illegally crossing into north africa. spain says about a thousand migrates reached, a largest number in a decade. in february the spanish police were criticized for firing rubber bullets against those swimming across. >> reporter: under the cover of fog, they wait for their moment. as police camera swings around, hundreds can be seen. they face tribl barriers between more rocca and malia. spain has two enclaves in morocco, both located on the mediterranean coast.

they have become a magnate for migrants who want to get into europe. spain estimates there are 40,000 waiting to cross from morocco into ceuta and mel leila. the european union criticized spanish police for firing rubber bullets in warning at the group. if the risks pay off, the migrants who are mostly from africa are injured or in poor health. some will head here to an immigration center for medical treatment. but just getting here alive is a relief, although the center will try to send them back to their country of origin. the authorities say in the past few weeks attempts to cross into melila have picked up pace. almost a month ago, this group successfully scaled these barbed wire fences i. seems the risks

taking the reins, the new boss of america's central bank, janet yellen, faces a tough task, weaning markets from years of cheap money. 6.5 million new jobs expected this year alone in the travel industry. why is this industry booming and

others struggling? hello, welcome to "world business report." i'm jamie robertson. in a moment we'll hear from cyprus's finance minister who says the island's banks are on the mend. first let's look at the united states, she's finally taken the hot seat. after month of waiting janet yellen will chair the second day of her first federal reserve meeting. the biggest test will be how she manages the shift from firefighting mode to normal. the fed has already begun cutting those large cash injections launched at the height of the financial crisis 36 years ago. michele fleury reports now from washington, d.c. >> reporter: she's one of the most powerful women in the world. this wednesday janet yellen hosts her first news conference as fed chairwoman. her words can move global financial markets, and on wall street, economists say this is a

transitional moment for the u.s. central bank. >> the economy is gaining momentum and they are on their way. this is why the process of exiting accommodative policy has begun. in some senses, managing a smooth exit from extraordinary monetary policy combination is going to be one of her main challenges. >> reporter: so what can we expect? tapering will continue. this means the fed will still buy bonds, just not as many. and questioning wall street, what will the fed say about forward guidance, its vow not to raise rates as long as unemployment was above 6.5%. unemployment in america has fallen faster than expected, but nobody believed the job market is terribly healthy. so this threshold will likely be scrapped. >> the change is going to be in how they nuance their forecast in what they call forward guidance, a promise or pledge that the fed will keep rates low

for a very long time. i don't think their time frame will change from that, to mid 2015. that said, you will see a change in how they talk about it. >> reporter: janet yellen may have more control over the world's economies than any other central banker, but it will be the health of the u.s. economy that will determine when she declares victory and let's borrowing costs go on. michelle fleury, bbc news, washington. now, it has created nearly five million new jobs last year, it provides 1 in 11 of all jobs around the world. what am i talking about? the travel and tourism industry. impressive figures released show the industry contributed nearly $7 trillion to the global economy in 2013. that is a rise of 9.5% from the year before. the good news doesn't end year. the travel and tourist sector is expected to generate around 6.5 million new jobs this year. why is the industry booming and others struggling.

it's a question for david squausal, the president of world tourism council. it is booming. is this a lead indicator, a promise of things to come? >> the industry tends to grow about one percentage point ahead of the global gdp. we're a very good lead indicator with business travel and aircraft and hotel and freight carried in the belly of aircraft. >> what are the areas geographically? >> geographically it's all in asia ot the moment. the u.s. and europe is starting to grow again, particularly in the hotel industry. the shift in our industry is moving towards asia. >> that's a long-term trend, isn't it? >> it's a long-term trend but happening in the short and medium term as well. countries like china, indonesia, thailand are all growing about 7% or 8% each year. >> what about the other bric

countries, russia, africa, south america. are those economies, are they attracting the kind of attention that they were attracting in the years leading up to the financial crisis? >> certainly in our industry the bricks are very, very prominent is the best way to describe it i guess. brazil and russia are growing very fast in travel and tourism terms, both inbound and outbound. china in particular, the investment in infrastructure, busy building 69 new airports is one indicator of how fast they're growing. the brics for us are growing very quickly. what about geopolitical' vefrnts, obviously what's happening in ukraine, what's happening in syria and also the other events like the disappearance of the malaysian airline? we saw the problems it caused in your industry at 9/11. do you see that in any sense reoccurring now?

>> no, it doesn't. we have these small blips from time to time. it might be ash clouds, sars, terrorist issues in one particular country, but 9/11 was exceptional as was invading iraq in 1991. those were two major catastrophic events in our industry. these other things, tragic as they r they really don't cause any short or medium term impact on the growth we're seeing. >> thanks very much indeed. a year ago this week cyprus was desperately trying to stave off bankruptcy. the banks were close, after tough negotiations cyprus did get its 10 billion euro bailout. for the first time, those with the larger bank deposits were made to pay a high price. their holdings were heavily scalped, taken away entirely to help pay for the closing of one bank and the propping up of others. we ask the island's finance minister if the banks are now on

the mend. >> i definitely think we're on the right course. first of all, supervision has been significantly improved. we probably the strictest supervisory regime in the european union as we speak. we have implemented new laws that will ensure exactly the adequate supervision of our banking system, the banking system itself has been recapitalized, not only with the controversial bailout in the couple of cases it has been applied, but those with private funds, so we have a recapitalized banking sector and it is a banking sector which is much smaller than what it was before. but one which has much healthier

footing. let's look at some of the other news doing the rounds in the world business. reports of a merger of the u.s. justice department may have reached a billion dollar settlement with japanese car giant toyota. this would bring an end to a four-year criminal investigation into the carmaker's disclosure of safety problems. in 2009 toyota issued a massive recall, mostly in the united states totaling more than 10 million vehicles for various problems which included faulty brakes, gas pedals and floor mats. portia says it will replace every engine in the 2014 model 911. the cars could catch fire. portia has identified the problem that led to two cars catching fire earlier this year in italy or switzerland. uk finance minister george osborne is expected to focus on

appealing to ordinary working people when he delivers his 2014 budget later on today. uk's large budget deficit will make it difficult for him to unveil many giveaways. he ekes expected to reveal a rise up to 10,500 and confirm child care subsidies. that's it. a glance of the markets, but only for a second. humans. one day we're coming up with the theory of relativity, the next... not so much. but that's okay. you're covered with great ideas like optional better car replacement from liberty mutual insurance. total your car, and we give you the money to buy one a model year newer. learn about it at libertymutual.com. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy?
