-- www.vitac.com this is bbc america and now from london, "bbc world news.." >> i'm nick gowan. the search for the malaysian airlines moves north. and as the grim search for bodies continues amid the debris from the washington mudslide, a mother of one victim talks about her grief. >> i don't need a body to know. >> to get closure? >> no, i don't. >> turkey's government blocks access to youtube after a recording of senior officials

discussing possible military action in syria is uploaded. and we take a tour of mars without leaving earth. the scientists recreate the red planet. find out why. hello, everyone. the search for the missing malaysian airliner has shifted focus once again. it left kuala lumpur in malaysia 21 days ago heading for beijing. first analysis of satellite communication suggested it flew south down this trajectory on an arc into the southern indian ocean. first searching of western australia was in this area as suggested by that analysis. satellites did show objects of interest here, but no confirmed connection to the airliner. now it's thought the route actually headed down this path

to here. that's because analysts have deduced from combining radar and satellite data that the jet was flying faster than previously thought. so it burned fuel more quickly. that's why the australian search operation is focusing on this new area. it is 1,100 kilometers northeast of the original search zone. the good news is that the new area, which is bigger than the size of the united kingdom, is a shorter flight from perth and that means planes can stay over the search area for longer, up to two or three times -- two or three hours longer. now, we can go to kuala lumpur. >> can you just confirm that altitude was factored into this new analysis which is now handed

off to australia? what more can we get in order to get closer to potential wreckage which you identified of flight 370 and where are we with that inmarsat data? >> the requirement is ongoing, even as we speak. our team, our working team down here from the u.s. team, the -- from u.k., from china and malaysia are every day working and talking to boeing and boeing been doing it even as we speak. and they are defining the calculations, the analysis and they will come up with new leads in a few days' time. so i suspect they are still

working and they have informed us. they will come out with it. >> i have to conclude by saying that it's not just a technical sharing of data and expert but the joint deployment of assets from so many nations specific to certain areas and complexities i think it is something that is purely unprecedented and has got everybody together working on something worthwhile and they've got the imagination of the world focused into something that i think is going to be very historic and probably going to change the aviation landscape in the future. there are some lessons to be learned by everyone in this case and if malaysia can be a small part of this process, i feel

honored to be part and parcel of what is going on right now, but at the end of the day for the families, the one question they really want to know is where are their loved ones and the one question i want to know, where is mh-370, and that is an ongoing process being stated by so many, so many people out there risking life and limbs to find that. i cannot, unfortunately, provide to you today. thank you very much. >> so that's the view from kuala lumpur and the minister and the chief executive of malaysian airlines and also the head of the civil aviation authority moving very quickly off the stage at that point with confirmation that the area has moved closer to western australia, an area that's north of the roaring 40s. a little less aggressive when it comes to sea state and also winds and current. it is a shorter flight from

perth which means planes can stay over the search area longer, two to three hours more. let's go to phil mercer in perth. >> reporter: it's almost three weeks since flight mh-370 has vanished. there's been a significant shift. the search area has shifted more than 1,000 kilometers to the north based on new information provided by malaysian investigators. following an analysis of radar data, they believe the jet was flying faster than thought and was burning off fuel more quickly. >> this continuing analysis indicates the plane was traveling faster than was previously indicated resulting in increased fuel usage and reducing the possible distance it traveled south into the indian ocean. >> reporter: the view from space continues to find unidentified objects in the southern indian ocean. a thai satellite has detected a field of debris that could be

linked to the missing airliner. >> we found the floating objects of various sizes from two meters up to 15 or 16 meters. we preliminary estimate that there may be at least 300 pieces of those out there scattered in the area of about 500 square kilometer. >> reporter: the reconnaissance mission is at the mercy of the weather which has forced the flight to be grounded twice this week. the conditions are expected to remain favorable. >> looking at a little bit of low clouds perhaps saturday morning and saturday evening. don't think that's going to hang around too much. essentially the rest of today and tomorrow the conditions will be a lot better than they were yesterday. >> reporter: off australia's west coast, the search is intensifying. ten aircraft are due to scour the search area along with half

a dozen ships. phil mercer at the pierce airbase in western australia. just before we went to him lip there in kuala lumpur malaysia's transportation minister did say the satellite images of apparent debris seen in the last couple of days are still consistent with the new search area closer to western australia. >> the parties have indicated they have shifted the search area approximately 1100 kilometers to the northeast. because of ocean drift, this new area could be consistent with previous satellite images over the past week. this work is ongoing and we can expect further refinements as the australian authorities indicated this morning, this is standard practice in the search operation. it is the process of continually refining the data which further narrows the search area.

with each step we get closer to understanding mh-370's flight path. search is conducted on the best information available at the time and in the search for mh-370, we have followed the evidence and acted on credible leads. our search and rescue efforts have been detected by fine and corroborated information and the search of the refined area is no different. >> so let's go to kuala lumpur live to the bbc's jennifer. you were monitoring 35 minutes of briefing today from those three officials. what was your impression of what else is being learned after the confirmation of the new search area closer to western australia? >> reporter: what we now know is that the satellite images that have been coming out from various countries, they say those are still relevant which means the sophisticated vessels are still searching for the

potential debris out there. we still have no positive identification, we have not been able to lift or physically see any of this debris out at sea. that's what the aircraft and vessels will be going out to look at. we're at day 21 and we're still no closer to figuring out exactly where it went. they did not confirm that this area is the area which the plane had crashed into. they did not give anymore information about the data that led them to refine the search. all they will say, it is refined search area, but from our standpoint and from what journalists are getting, it seems as if it's a new search area and the last few days they have been searching further out than they should have been and, therefore, that's perhaps why they weren't able to see any of this debris. what it means for the families is that they're extremely frustrated that they're not able to get any closer to understanding exactly what happened. they're frustrated with the pace of information, but as you heard from the acting transport minister who is also the defense minister, he says they have been

doing a good job by not spreading any kind of rumors until they have been able to confirm, triple confirm the information before releasing it out to the public. it doesn't do much for the families who have been waiting for almost three weeks. it has been excruciating for them. >> jennifer, one other thing. he was specifically asked about the status of the police investigation into the pilot, the co-pilot and other members of the crew. did he answer that question? >> reporter: he didn't exactly because he said that the head of police chief was not there, that he will have him for the next press conference to answer it. what we do know at this point in time is that officials have narrowed it down to what they call four probable causes, hijack, sabotage, and in their words, the personal and psychological problems of people on board. it doesn't necessarily narrow it down to what exactly they think happened but, of course, they have indicated that the flight in which -- how they know that the plane had went from kuala lumpur heading to beijing somehow veering west and then

somehow landing in the indian ocean was done by somebody who had some knowledge of flying and so, of course, a lot of the focus has been on the pilots but of course so far we have not had any evidence or any kind of clues as to what the potential motive could be if it had been the pilots. so at this point in time we're no better off than day one it seems. >> all right, jennifer. at the moment, thank you very much indeed. let me underline what the transportation minister said. he said, quote, we are continually refining data across many national sources. the number of people confirmed dead in the massive mudslide near seattle has risen to 25. rescuers say they expect that figure to rise substantially over the next few days as they recover more bodies from the wall of mud which engulfed the small town of oso. 90 people are still unaccounted for. the bodies of some victims may never be found. the bbc's dave williams is in oso. >> reporter: as the painstaking

search continues, telephone calls were released revealing the panic as the mudslide tore these homes apart. >> hundreds of trees have fallen outside of my house. it sounded like an earthquake was happening. >> are there any injuries? >> yes. there are people yelling for help. >> reporter: amongst the rubble rescuers have found the body of a 4 month old girl whose grandmother also died in the disaster. the search operation is taking its toll on volunteers. they've recovered more bodies than the figures indicate but those bodies have yet to be formally identified and in the next few days the death toll is expected to rise significantly. comforted by her british friend, heather rogers, nicole rivera told me four of her loved ones are missing. both her parents, her 19-year-old daughter delaney and delaney's fiance alan.

>> in other countries and places where there have been tragic mudslides and lives lost, many, many times bodies are not recovered and those areas are then claimed as a memorial ground, and i have a feeling that may be the case in this swaks, and i'm okay with that for me. i don't need a body to know. >> to get closure? >> no, i don't. what i have to say about delaney, god, she's beautiful. i will miss her very much. i'm going to do everything in my power to help as many people as possible in honor of her and alan and my mom and dad. >> the tragic story of this tight knit community is slowly starting to unfold and the grieving has barely gun. david willis, bbc news, washington state. to turkey where the government has blocked access to

the video sharing site youtube. it took similar action a few days ago to cut off the micro website twitter. authorities aren't happy that an audio file has been uploaded to the website which shows the prime minister's senior people talking. marika oy has more. >> reporter: first it was twitter. now it's youtube. turkey's government has been cracking down on social networking sites which prime minister accuses of spreading misinformation. this is what the prime minister says is happening to ted. in his party's new video a faceless enemy tries to bring down the country. the people are running to defend them, uniting the nation against

conspiracy is his goal. it prompted the ban on youtube between ministers which was posted on the site. they were discussing a possible military operation in syria. turkey's foreign minister said it constituted a declaration of war against his country. >> translator: i've been a facebook and youtube user for years. >> translator: i wonder how far they will go to curb our freedom. first twitter, now youtube. what's next? facebook? how far will they go and when will this end? >> translator: i don't care what people think. this is an authoritarian ruling. >> reporter: the prime minister faces important local elections this sunday.

his effort to wipe out these sites don't appear to be working too well. bbc news. let's move on with the business. aaron joins me. the president of china -- >> still on his european grand trip. let me explain. thanks very much, nick. hello there. the chinese president's tour of europe, after two days of enjoying french whose hospitalie president arrived and is talking about energy agreements and air bus jets. president xi, trade between china and germany is now worth $200 billion. that's more than china's trade with france, four times more, and brittain and italy. there you go. we're going to cover that. we're going to cover the chinese film industry.

i have a guest coming up on the "world business report." it's blackberry results. we'll bring those to you. i've got to go, nick. all yours. >> thanks, aaron, for dropping by. stay with us on "bbc world news." still to come. >> can you hear my voice coming through both sides? >> yes. yes. >> the moment a woman who's been deaf hears for the first time is captured on video. check it out. i can't believe your mom has a mom cave! today i have new campbell's chunky spicy chicken quesadilla soup.

she gives me chunky before every game. i'm very souperstitious. haha, that's a good one! haha! [ male announcer ] campbell's chunky soup. it fills you up right. wanted to go and see a lion up close. this zoom lens is amazing. go and smell the roses! you're with "bbc world news." the first for the missing malaysian airline, a move 1100 kilometers north. that's new information combining radar and satellite data indicating the plane's highest speed. the number of people confirmed dead in a massive mudslide near seattle in the u.s. has risen to 25. rescuers say they expect the number to rise as more bodies

are recovered. the trial of the olympic athlete, oscar pistorius, has been adjourned for ten days. he's widely been expected to open the defense case by giving evidence from the witness stand. it would have been the athlete's most detailed account so far of what happened the night he shot his girlfriend dead. he's always maintained what happened was an accident. the bbc is in pretoria. >> reporter: as usual, the crowds were here, the crowds of media as oscar pistorius arrived at court this morning. within a half an hour or so we've all learned that the trial has been postponed until april the 7th. there was almost an audible groan as the announcement was made. there has been so much of a buildup thinking that possibly oscar pistorius might have been called as the first witness in his defense. it's been happening all the way

through. we heard from people about what did she do and why? >> the trial was not continued today because someone has taken ill. the court cannot continue with just one assessor. the court is not properly constituted. the importance, the role that the assessors play is that they will be helping the judge in order to reach a verdict whether guilty or not guilty. so they can challenge the judge basically on methods of effect and methods of the law but they can only help the judge to reach the guilt or not guilty verdict. after that they get dismissed. the judge then will decide on sentencing if oscar pistorius is found guilty. >> they're pretty low profile throughout. they're not simply a matter of being able to substitute one of them and carry on as normal? >> unless one dies or the one

that's ill is sick for a longer period, then they can say, well, they need to appoint another one who would then need to go through all the court's papers to see who said what in terms of which witnesses have testified and to see if the assessor would have new questions to ask because assessors are also allowed to ask questions in court through the judge. >> what does it do for oscar pistorius's defense? where does it leave everything? >> it means that they have more time to prepare the defense's case. it also means there's a possibility that oscar pistorius is much more anxious than he was because he was possibly meant to be ready to face cross examination from the prosecutor. when he does cross examination, he can be very aggressive, just like barry roux can be. >> the prosecutor taking his turn after being examined by

barry. for now that trial postponed until april the 7th. >> karin, thank you for joining me from pretoria. scientists have re-created a little piece of mars here in the southeast of england. one company involved in the next mission to the red planet, they have built a test facility. it will help design and test a rover vehicle that will be sent to mars in four years to search for life on the red planet. our correspondent gauche has visited this replica of mars on earth. >> reporter: it's mars but not as we know it. it looks like a film set, but it's actually a lap bra tori to test out europe's next mission to mars. this is an exact replica of the martian surface. everything from the sand to the size of the rocks to the rough terrain is exactly the same as it is on mars. it will be designed to develop

the next generation of martian rovers. it creeps across the surface to avoid damaging itself. by speeding up the footage, they can understand the witnesses, the wheels and the suspension. its camera called time cam is being built in theory. it will have small colored filters that will be used to find out what the rocks are made of. the european mission is purpose built to search for life. it will drill deep into the martian surface and analyze the sound port in an onboard laboratory. >> i think the probability of detecting ancient life on mars is very good. we do know that mars and earth were very similar in their early history and so we would expect to find life on mars. >> reporter: if there was once life on mars, there's a good chance that europe's rover will find evidence for it in just a few times. bbc news.

now something pretty remarkable when people talk about life-changing experiences. the one we're about to show you is really very hard to beat. video footage has been released of the moment that a woman who's been deaf since birth hears human speech for the very first times. joanne mills was fitted with cochlear implants last month. they're tiny electronic devices fitted deep into the inner ear. she filmed her daughter as a nurse tested her hearing by going through the days of the week. >> monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday. how does it -- just be careful you don't knock them off. can you hear my voice coming through both sides? >> yes. yes. very high. >> very high? it will sound high pitched at

first. your brain will readjust it for you. >> okay. >> it won't always sound that way. it's all right. it's a big, big life-changing day today. >> joanne milne there. what a remarkable moment for her. stay with us. at 5 times greater risk of a stroke. that's why i take my warfarin every day. but it looks like maybe we should ask your doctor about pradaxa. in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa

before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa. still running in the morning? yeah. getting your vegetables every day? when i can.

celebrating a $200 billion relationship. china and germany talk trade amid fears the honeymoon could be over. plus, a smart move or admission of defeat? microsoft's new bosa nouns that office, oh, yes, it's coming to

the ipad. hello, everybody. i'm aaron hezel. welcome to the program. it is a fascinating and exciting snapshot. business and money. we're going to talk about microsoft, chinese film industry. i have a chinese filmmaker in the house with me right now, but first let's start, yes, with china. the chinese president's tour of europe because after two days of enjoying french hospitality, he arrives in germany. he stays in paris. it yielded multi-billion dollar deals from orders to air bus jets. for president xi, today's talks are far, far more important. trade between china and germany is worth, look at that, $200 billion. that's more than china's trade with trafrance, brittain and

germany. german firms moved in more aggressively based on car dealerships. rifle, bmw, sales up, what did i say, sales up far more cars in china than at home in germany. however, the growth, it is slowing. as our correspondent, steve evans explains, some bosses want to see less reliance on china and more reliance on other markets like africa. >> reporter: trade did grow quickly five years ago and german businesses agree you can't continue that scorching growth. german business leaders are saying, maybe we're a little bit too dependent on china. maybe we need to look at ghana, for example, latin america. we need to diversify where we spend. you can't doubt that fact that china is the big market both ways. as you say, 1/3 of china's trade

with the eu is trade with germany. both sides need each oether, bu you do get the sense of the increasing weariness amongst german business. >> we'll keep across those trade talks for you. let's stay with china and chinese film buffs. yes, they are, well, very soon able to get a say in what movies they want made in the country. that's because the chinese ecommerce giant alibaba will allow film fans to invest in the movie industry in china. it's tipped to get even bigger. certainly bigger than hollywood. that's expected as more and more production houses are going to take off. the multi-plex cinemas are going to spring up. are investors confident a chinese film will be a good investment? let's find out more. lucky to be joined by the chinese film leader, jing li.

she's collaborating to make the first production between the chinese and the british industry. great to have you in the studio. i mentioned expected to get bigger than hollywood. paint the picture briefly, how big is this chinese film industry? >> the chinese film industry is growing rapidly. last year there were about 5 to 600 films being made, which is a huge number. and it's growing even more. and i think there will be more and more films made every year. >> right. >> and the audience is huge because it's a huge country. the population is there and the people are getting a lot richer. they spend more money in entertainment, going to the cinema a lot more. >> okay. so big domestic market, but you and i were having a sneaky little chat in the greenroom. the idea of film makers like yourself, other film makers,

they want it to be a global brand, that's quite obvious. to be a global brand, you, they, what do you need to do? >> first and foremost, you need createtive talent. you need pro nally trained people, directors and writers who can make films and also need investment and -- because films are made with money. and also the audience, but i think china, it has all these elements now but i think they need more talent. that's why the chinese film makers are increasingly looking at collaborating with foreign film makers. they want to bring their films to the foreign world. >> does that mean that -- apart from the alley baba group, does that mean foreign writers and directors are coming into china and being brought in? >> definitely. foreign film studios, they definitely see the potential in

the chinese film market and also the chinese film studios are pulling creative talent from the west for directors, script writers and even producers because they want to improve the quality of their films only if the quality of the films is improved they can show the films to the world. they can be recognized by the foreign world. >> quickly let me get into this. you're trying to put a film together. it would be shot here in brittain and put it together in china. the domestic audience, do they like to see films about chinese people but in foreign locations? >> definitely. i think there's an increasing demand of films being shot in foreign worlds. for example, some of the moist successful films in china recently, parts of the films were shot in the u.s., japan and thailand. the chinese audience, they really want to see exotic worlds

a . >> they want more? >> yes. >> they want more indeed. >> they're talking about a story about red wine. the chinese love their red wine. they want more of that as well. fascinating talking to you. >> thank you very much. >> jing li joining me in the studio. one of our other top business stories for the day, the new ceo of microsoft, satya nadella has been outlining his vision for the company. the big news, it's big. the company's office software suite will be available for apple's ipad. is it a smart move or an admission that microsoft has lost the battle for the post pc world? the bbc north america's very own richard taylor was there. >> reporter: this speech by satya nadella, really the first time the new microsoft boss has been able to outline his vision for the company. remember, a lot of investors

were worried that he was too much of an insider to effect the kind of change that microsoft needed. he talked about a mobile first, cloud first strategy. >> the real goal for us is to step up to provide the applications and services that empower every user across all of these devices and all of these experiences. so that's perhaps the job number one that we do, which is to empower people to be productive, do more across all devices. >> reporter: well, the move of office to ipad really signifying a strategic shift in microsoft's thinking, a willingness to embrace rival operating systems after the somewhat negative approach of holding it hostage to windows. the real question is how much of an audience it will find. they've filled the hole on ipad with plenty of respectable apps

which work if not perfectly then well enough for a lot of users. of course, if it is executed very well indeed, then it provides one less reason for people to buy into microsoft's own hardware like the surface tablet and, indeed, the windows operating system itself. microsoft is operating very much in a post windows world. now mr. nadella has to figure out how best to exploit it. >> tweet me at bbc, aaron. i've got to go. sports today coming up next. bye-bye. microsoft is operating very much

hello there. this is "sport today" on the bbc. coming up to you india's cricket boss is ordered to step aside while a corruption investigation is held. slam dunks. they know how to score baskets,

but the 76ers could soon be nba's biggest losers. try to beat me. nikka goldberg is fastest in malaysia. welcome to the show. india's supreme court ordered the country's cricket boss to step aside on friday. he will be kept out of the role during the investigation into corruption claims during last season's indian premier league. he will be temporarily replaced as the head of the board of control for cricket in india by tech team great gavastar. last year indian police arrested several players for allegedly spot fixing. that is a specified number of runs in exchange for money from bookmakers. now in its announcement they said the teams at the center of the allegation of illegal betting and spot fixing would be allowed to take part in this

year's ipl. there had been talk that they would be expelled. >> we felt that at this juncture we could not without all of this stop a team from playing, that it would also heavily impact the success and the -- of the ipl and would affect millions of cricket loving public and i'm very glad to say that the court has not in any manner passed any order which affects any team participating in the ipl. >> with all of this going on the indian team have a match against host bangladesh to concentrate on. india has won both matches. india have already beaten the west indecember and pakistan. a win on friday could be enough for them to progress to the semi-finals. >> tomorrow's game will be crucial. we want to make sure that we win that and go from there.

final, playing semifinal still a long way to go. so we're just taking one thing at a time at the moment. >> yes, india's been playing very good the last couple of months. when this match is going on, you cannot think about it, you have to give your best shot and then when you go in the middle you have to have a chance to set and play after that. last home matches and our batters have not been centered and get out. >> there's one game going on now in the icc world 2020. that's australia versus west indys. glen maxwell, top scorer so far with 45 of 22 balls. australia 132 for 5. they're hitting at a run rate of just over 8 and over. arsenal fans are furious and social media is abuzz to suspend

the referee andre mariner. the english premier league said new technology isn't needed. mariner wasn't punished and gave gibbs a red card instead of alex chamberlin. >> i'm not so sure just because of that incident that means we should be racing to suddenly, you know, abdicate all different forms of technology. i think there's a debate to be had and a discussion to be had about where you can use it for purely factual matters. the situation, i think there might be room for scope creep if you like in terms of these technologies, it's a more complex issue than that when it starts to get and involve incidents beyond that. you don't want to change the essence of the game. >> you hear people say sports coverage is obsessed with winners and champions. here, sorry to all the philadelphia 76ers fans out there. the 76ers have equaled the record for the worst losing run

in the history of the nba after they were beaten by houston on thursday. it was their 26th straight defeat. here's paul frostick. >> reporter: the 76ers were hoping to avoid another defeat as they met the rockets in the toyota center in houston. the homicide took a 7-2 in the first quarter on a dunk by big man dwight howard. there was one spectacular shot for philadelphia in this contest. ware made a steal and stole for the half-court three-pointer as the first quarter expired. houston kept up the pressure though and when howard scored with a basket in the second quarter the rockets led by ten points. more offense by houston in the third quarter. jeremy lyn's three-pointer put them further in front. one positive note for the 76ers, james anderson was on top form scoring 30 points. in the end it wasn't enough to

stop defeat by 120-98. >> we've been very transparent from day one. we're trying to grow something and rebuild something, and the short-term pain in which we hope is going to produce a long-term gain, we think that this, you know, will fade to a distant memory. >> the 76ers equaling the worst losing record. on saturday they could become the biggest losers at home. paul frostick, bbc news. >> there you can see the short-term pain but the baseball journalist chris sheridan thinks the only way is up for the 76ers. >> things have definitely taken a turn for the worst since the middle of january. that's the last time they won a game. on saturday night they have the chance to set the longest losing streak in the history of the nba. we're going back more than 60 years. it would be their 27th consecutive team. the only thing going for them is

they're playing detroit pistons. they haven't won away from home since january. they're putting out a roster of players that just cannot compete with the other 29 teams in the league. they traded their best player, evan turner, to the indiana pacers where he's really been a difference maker. but they're going to have a lot of young bodies and a lot of young players. in order to get to where they need to get to they have to drop to the depth or sink for the to depths they're sinking to now. mercedes is trying to get the fastest times. their formula one rivals are faster than expected. he was fastest in the second session and overall around the international circuit exceeding ferrari by three hundredths of a second. ser reena williams has reached the final by knocking
