gun-packing murderer. in the blade runner's trial. your "new day" starts now. and good morning, everyone. great to have you along with us on this saturday morning, i'm pamela brown. >> and i'm joe johns. it's 6:00. christi paul and victor blackwell are off. this is "new day saturday." we begin with a desperate search at sea after a jet carrying 239 people vanished off the coast of vietnam. >> china, malaysia, zynsingapor and vietnam have dispatched search flights. >> it's confirmed the jet crashed into the sea. but malaysian authorities are still working to verify that and no records have been found as of yet. >> and according to the airline, four americans, including an infant were on 0 board.

>> let's bring in had cnn airline and aviation correspondent richard quest following the developments. richard, what's the latest and how will rescue crews find the wreckage? >> well in theory, of course, the aircraft itself could give throughs as to where it could have come down. i think we're all talking about an incident where the plane has crashed. and the aircraft, when it gets into distress. when a plane does crash into this sort of circumstance will emit its own beacon. it will send out its own radio transmilitiaer which effectively will help alert the rescuers and recovery teams about where it is. the difficulty here, this. 777 may have been over the south china sea. we're not confirmed exactly

where the plane was. we know it was at 3670 feet. we know it was about two-thirds into its flight into beijing. that puts is roughly into the eastern part of vietnam and into the south china sea. if this incident did happen over the see, then you're talking about a much more difficult separation here. because now, not only will the plane, or maybe the plane had broken up, but now, of course, the transmidster which can keep going for many days, we might not be able to receive the signal from it. so that's going to be, joe, the sort of issue. that's why you're going to be getting these search and rescue operations for many countries, politics to one side in this area, as they try now to find where is the wreckage, the remains, if you like. where is this aircraft. >> richard, i understand you met the co-pilot of this plane and actually sat in the cockpit of a

similar aircraft just a few days ago. you can tell us about that? >> yes, we were filming for cnn business traveler. the monthly travel program that i do. and we were filming on a flight fr kaala lampur, and during that flight, we were actually with the malaysia airlines. and as the pictures show, we're -- we can confirm that the first officer who was flying the aircraft, the one you see in this picture is the one who was on board the aircraft. we have reason to believe that the captain was also on -- the one on the left seat is also involved in the flight that we're talking about tonight. now, it's worth pointing out, and i'm just going to give a bit of background to this filming. and this filming was well and truly within the gamut of

authorized. it was malaysia airlines. there was a safety check captain on board the aircraft as well. anyone saying what was going on here, all of the correct parameters that allow for in-cockpit filming were followed in this particular incident. the first officer involved had about 200,000 hours. he was an experienced first officer in aviation. he was new -- what they say new on type. he'd only been on the 777 for a few weeks. >> a real mystery so far. we'll be checking back with you. >> dozens of relatives of missing passengers or crew members gather ted beijing airport. some overcoming with grief fear for the worse.

>> david, tell us what you are hearing from people there? >> well what we're hearing is frustration. sometimes, anger and certainly confusion. and a lot of emerging doubt about what exactly happened to the loved ones and relatives. we were at the airport earlier this morning. there was just a very poignant red sign for that airline coming in, delayed. then people were staying at a local area hotel. people were crowding in and out. one woman screamed out my son was only 40. another man said i had a relative on board but they're complaining they're not getting much information. that's partly because the information is relatively sketchy at this point, coming from the airline. because they don't want to give those relative this details. i'm told they know for sure. but very agonizing hours here. more than half that flight was packed with chinese nationals. including american, australian,

new zealanders and malaysians, too. >> we learned four americans were on board including a 1-year-old infant. david where do you think that the plane went down? i know it's tough to tell and there's still so much to learn about what happened. but from what you can tell where do you think it went down? >> reporter: well, pamela, our sources through state media and also on the ground in malaysia and vietnam indicate that this airliner could have gone down in the gulf of thailand. around 150 miles south of any nearby islands. that makes it very difficult indeed, to get rescue and recovery efforts to that point. richard was mentioned, this is a multinational effort, particularly from malaysia and milan. going into the areas, we eventually got off the phone with people in charge of that operation from the malaysian side. they say they're sending helicopters, planes, any means

necessary, to try and find out where that airliner went down. of course, we can assume that it's crashed on some level. because there have only 7 1/2 hours left of fuel when they vanished from radar. and from the areas where they were being picked up, effectively, vanishing into thin air. now, the wait is exactly what happened. and are there any survivors, but certainly, i can tell you very agonizing, as i can say, hours ticking by here in beijing and across the region, pamela. >> your heart goes toout to the relatives there. david mckenzie in beijing. thank you so much. >> not just knowing. there's been so much speculation. >> and like you said, agonizing wait. >> so what could have caused the plane to disappear? according to the malaysia airlines ceo so far, it doesn't look like it was bad weather.

>> there is no weather system at that point. >> let's go down to jennifer gray at the extreme weather center. jennifer, can you give us an idea of the weather conditions at the time the plane left the airport? >> yeah, temperatures ideal. 77 degrees. winds only about 3 miles per hour. and visibility at 6 miles. so it doesn't look like weather was a problem at all. we were looking at satellite images as well from where 93 left on to the destination. and barely even any clouds. and we're also looking at turbulence forecast. there's not as much turbulence in the area as well. so from what we can see, it looking like weather can be ruled out, guys. >> thanks so much for that, jennifer gray. still to come on "new day," international monitors make their fourth attempt to enter crimea as moscow blasts the group accusing of them being

was oscar pistorius a paranoid cheating gun-loving boyfriend with a temperaturer? >> and wrapping up the first week of the blade runner's murder trial. an emotion ex-girlfriend broke down on the stand and accused the olympic sprinter of cheating on her with reeva steenkamp. >> she also told the court that he loved guns. that he kept a gun on time at all times even when sleeping agent night. >> did you know that he owned a gun during your relationship. >> yes, my lady. >> how did you know that? >> he keeps it on him all the time, my lady. >> did you say keeps it on him awe the time, what do you mean? >> he carried it around with him. >> if he would go to friends, what would he do? would he visit the friends, would he carry the gun? >> yes, he would, my lady.

>> he placed it next on the bedside table or next to his legs on the floor. >> cnn legal analyst kelly phelps is live in johannesburg live this morning. kelly, first off, how important was the former girlfriend's testimony? >> well, while they say it provides plenty of fodder for those reporting in a case, in a judge-led system like south africa it will have very little value in tot court in determining the overall matter. >> it was described how pistorius would wake up at night because he thought he would hear noises. does this help pistorius' case playing into the defense that he mistook steenkamp as an intruder? >> i think it may help the case because it does provide a track record of paranoia and

responding to that paranoia. the state was obviously trying to establish an abnormality. samantha said he often woke her up. but i do think according to his version of events there are facts that the defense could still align to try and explain that difference away. >> and something else that could possibly help the defense here. the neighbor and first witness on the scene. he described pistorius as praying for his girlfriend to live right after the shooting. while telling him, quote, i shot her. i thought she was a burglar and i shot her. >> so how important was his testimony to the defense's case? >> well, it's interesting that we're speaking about how important the testimony was to the defense's case considering that he's a state witness. but, in fact, he provided a very strong point for the defense so far. first of all, he's established the fact that pistorius was in what could only be in a terrible emotion state in the aftermath of this incident.

but equally, the time frame that he provided of the events of the night in question, very skillfully found a way to explain that in pistorius' version of events as opposed to the state's version of the events. >> we've still got a long way to go in this trial. we've still got to look at ballistics tests, for example. after the first week, what's your opinion, does either of the prosecution have a stronger case? >> i think after the first week on balance, the defense has had a somewhat stronger week. you know, one has to remember the states has the burden of proving this case beyond a reasonable doubt. and all the defense needs to do is suggest some reasonable doubt. i think on the whole they've managed quite successfully to do that but it is very important to remember these are incredibly early days still. and this week's testimony will eventually be considered in the light of all testimony put forth. and therefore, the pendulum may

continue to swing. >> zbl on that note, kelly, what do you expect to see next week? >> well, certainly, we'll see a continue of cross-examination of mr. barber who was the security official who was also on the scene early early on the night in question. and it will be important for the defense. he was a very strong witness. and the defense will say he wanted to try to explain away the testimony that he gave about mr. pistorius saying security, everything is fine. so they'll certainly continue with him. and then we should start to see some of the physical evidence coming forward. we haven't heard yet from any of the experts or from ballistics or forensics. so some of that physical evidence should start to come forward. we've only had this sort of context stated in what witnesses said so far. >> we be following it here on cnn. >> world is watching this. >> there's certainly a fascination with it. cnn legal analyst kelly phelps live in johannesburg.

this is a day that's always tricky. daylight saving time begins tomorrow. >> we lose an hour. >> we lose an hour. >> we wonder if christi and victor planned this. >> did you know that your wrist watch actually loses a second every month. barbara starr takes a look for the perfect clock. ♪ does anybody really know what time it is ♪ >> reporter: chicago asks the age-old question and the pentagon is looking for the answer. this high-tech lab of measures and mirrors measures the movement of atoms, 429 trillion atomic vibrations add up to just

one second. >> that vibration is sort of the smallest unit of time that we can actually measure. >> reporter: their goal is to make the most precise clock in the world. currently the source for precision time is gps satellite which contain atomic clocks used to synchronize clocks on the ground. but the pentagon worries the satellites could be jammed. so they want an even more accurate alternative. your wrist watch loses a second every 30 days. clocks on gps satellites lose a second every 30,000 years. this program is aimed at building a clock that wouldn't lose a second for a billion years. >> i don't care what your watches say, mine say they should have gone three minutes ago, so send them. >> reporter: synchronizing time has always been vital for soldiers but now it's more important than ever. >> you've got all of these high-speed aircraft. you have precision-guided missions. you have cameras, sensor, radars

always operating simultaneously. you actually have to do is that synchronization much more precisely. >> reporter: so if gps goes down troops will face new dangers. >> if you were to lose a couple billionths of a second your precision goes off by a meter. you lose a few more billionths of a second now you're off by several meters. >> reporter: gps time is in everything from power grids to your cell phone to the atm you use to get cash. without precision time that atm would eventually stop. if we can tell time more precisely, you still may be late for work. but now, you'll know exactly how late you are. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. >> hmm, interesting. that is fascinating. >> thank you so much, barbara starr. let's go down to jennifer gray at the severe weather center for the forecast this weekend.

>> yeah, we've had some snow showers in parts of north carolina. those have ended. now we're looking at freezing fog. be careful. roads are still slick in those areas. we are going to have a pretty quiet weekend. we're watching snow pushing through chicago no real accumulation expected there. where we are expecting accumulation places in kansas, dodge city, wichita, could see 4 to 6 inches of snow as we go through the next 24 hours. but for the south, it's a very different story. we have some warmer air filtering in from the south and that is going to mean springlike temperatures for the weekend. this is sunday. look at charlotte, 66 degrees. memphis at 60. and then warming to 70 degrees by monday. new york city will be at 49 degrees on monday, which will actually feel warm, compared to where they have been. the past couple of weeks, guys, you know it, it has been cold in the northeast. a little break this weekend and on into next week will be very

nice. >> and we welcome that break. absolutely. >> jennifer gray, thank you so much. let's head over to the white house and a light-hearted moment for the president. a youtube personality best known for impersonating president obama had a chance to meet the president and give him a taste of his own medicine so don't worry, you're not seeing double. >> you've got to film this. >> it was a mind blowing moment, i've been doing it for so many years, to be in his office doing an impression for him. >> now, look, either i can do the work or you can do you can take a lunch break. listen, i'm just happy to be here. >> you're going to have to get some gray hair. >> yeah. >> i used to look like you. >> that's funny. >> he's got the syntax down. >> he definitely sounds more like him than looks like him. >> that's for sure. not at all.

>> this was all part of the to promote the affordable care act. in case you're wondering. thanks for sharing your morning with us. >> your next hour of "new day" starts right now. lost in fliegs. flight. this morning chinese media say they know what happened to 9 flight. >> she actually told them to close their eyes and go to sleep. >> charges filed by a mother accused of trying to kill her three children by driving them into the ocean. if you want to know if someone is lying, don't listen to their words. look at their body language. that's what the pentagon may be doing to determine president putin's next move. our expert cracks the code.

your "new day" continues right now. good morning, everyone, thank you so much for waking up with us on this saturday morning. i'm pamela brown. >> and i'm joe johns. christi paul and victor blackwell are off. it's 7:00. this is "new day saturday." we begin with a desperate search at sea after a jet carrying 239 people vanished off the southern coast of vietnam. >> the u.s. is headed to the south china sea where the flight mh-870 was last reported. now vietnam has spotted liquid and rubbish off the waters of vietnam. >> reports confirm the jets crashed into the sea as it flew from kuala lampur into beijing. florida las vegas authorities say they're still working to verify that. >> including the airline, three americans including an ainfant were on board. the boeing was said to be from

china and taiwan. >> let's bring in cnn's analyst richard quest following it all morning long. richard, what's the latest on the search and who is going to investigate this? >> reporter: well, the search is very much between the waters of south china sea between malaysia and vietnam. air and sea rescue operations from both of those countries are involved. china has also said it will get involved for good reason. most in fact of the nationals on board came from china. and singapore. if you look at the map of southeast asia, you'll see exactly why so many of these countries are involved. and these waters are extremely busy. there's an enormous amount of ship traffic, trail and the tankers that go between them as to who will investigate this. the rules are really very

simple. the country where the plane -- where the accident happened is responsible for investigating the incident. and if it's in international waters or there is some dispute about that, then the country where the plane was registered would investigate. so in this case, you're looking at, depending on where the accident happened in the waters, you're looking at either vietnam or malaysia. but if that cannot be determined or if there's-o there one authority or the other decides to take precedence, then it would be malaysia as the origin, the aircraft of origin. >> i think the ntsb has to be invited by the country? >> well there's a treaty. on this. and what happens is, various parties involved are accredited to the investigation. so you would be talking about the ntsb from the united states, as the plane manufacturer's country of origin. you'd be talking about rolls

royce because the engines were british. so the air accident investigation authority of britain would be involved. so, yes, there would be a lot of others involved. >> and i want to talk about this, this is really eerie, richard, we understand that you actually met the co-pilot of this plane and actually sat in in the cockpit of a similar aircraft just a few days ago. what you can tell us about him? >> reporter: yeah, two or three weeks ago, we were filming in malaysian airlines in the cockpit for cnn traveler. this was regulated by a safety jet captain with us as well. this was apparently the same co-pilot and we believe maybe the same captain on board the aircraft. these are the pictures of landing of the aircraft, after we were flying down from hong kong to kuala lampur, and it's one of those very strange incidents.

>> this flight occurred just about a third into the way of a six-hour flight. technically, what's happening at that point, and what might cause a problem? i've heard this might have been considered the safest part of the flight? >> reporter: there's no question. this plane was -- the phrase is in the cruise. it was flying at about 36,000 feet according to the various logs. it will have been maybe drifting up slowly, as it was burning off fuel. but this was -- the plane would have been on autopilot. both pilots would have been doing regular check calls, on-route checks to the various air traffic controls. in this case, we believe it was already under the control of ho chi minh. this is one area of flight where you don't expect that to happen. it's not taking off. it's not landing. the plane was proceeding in an orderly direction. and what's really significant, no may day, no carolina panthers

message. no form of communication from the flight. so whatever happened to flight 370 was fast, it was instantaneous, it was dramatic, and it was catastrophic. >> oh, still such say mystery. >> it is. thanks so much for that richard quest. so what could have caused this plane to disappear? according to malaysia airlines ceo it does not look like it was bad weather. >> it shows there's no bad weather system at that point. >> all right, let's go now to our jennifer gray in the severe weather center. jennifer, what can you tell us about the weather conditions at the time this plane left kuala lampur airport? >> well, conditions are fine. really, temperatures, 77 degrees, minds at 3 miles per hour. visibility at 6 miles. conditions don't get much better than that. pretty much ideal. we're also looking at some of the satellite images.

barely a cloud in the sky. of course, when you're flying over 30,000 feet, none of this matters. so we were looking back at turbulence data that we have. it doesn't look like that's a factor. from this point, from what we can see, i would think weather can be ruled out, guys. >> jennifer gray, thank you for that. >> dozens of relatives of missing passengers or crew members have gathered at beijing airport, some overcome with the grief and fear for the worst. >> cnn's david mckenzie isn't beijing where the flight was supposed to land. david, what are you hearing from people there? >> reporter: well, they're very frustrated, pamela. and certainly worried. it's been hours of an agonizing wait through the day here in beijing. most of the passengers on board were chinese nationals going from malaysia here in the capital in china. and many of them looked very upset, but often, they were just stoic, going into a conference room, pushing through throngs of

local reporters and not saying much to us. because, of course, is this a very sensitive time for them. but also because the information that's coming out is conflicting. they're hearing one thing from those with heir ear to the ground. and maybe another thing from the airliner. we do believe that there are officials from malaysia airlines coming into china to help with the support psychological and otherwise of those who fear the worst for their loved ones. pamela. >> at this point, we have just talked to richard quest about this. and there has been some evidence about where the plane may have went down. do you have any details about this, by chance? >> reporter: well, we do know that officials from the vietnamese search and rescue say they might have been debris or perhaps an oil slick or substance of some kind of on the ocean where they were flying over that area. of course, as you reach nightfall, it will be very difficult, indeed, to mount any

search and rescue operations in the south china sea or territorial waters in vietnam or malaysia. according to reports i've seen appears to be where that plane crashed if it did indeed crash. now, there also is, of course, u.s. involvement in this. a u.s. destroyer is heading into the region to try and give assistance that could be there within 24 hours, according to the pentagon. including a u.s. air force plane from okinawa in japan. so certainly a multinational effort to try and figure out what happened to this plain. and if there's any chance of any survivors. >> right. and you would think certainly think, very, very difficult to reconstruct whatever happened if that plane went down into the water. very difficult to get the debris back as well. >> absolutely. >> david mckenzie, thanks so much for that. still to come on "new day," armed russian forces reportedly inside a ukrainian military

[ female announcer ] pore refining cleanser. neutrogena®. . we have new developments ute of ukraine. forces have positioned themselves outside of a recruitment office positioning armed men on every floor. >> this comes after troops reportedly tried to take over a ukrainian military base. anna coren is there in simferopol. what can you tell us? >> reporter: a little bit of a

crew down there but we're waiting to hear reports from them. we're hearing that pro-russian forces have taken over the military office not far from where we are. they barged their way in that 93 have occupied every single floor. we are seeing a much more visible presence of these pro-russian forces or local militia. you know, they're not wear anything particular uniform, but they are now the law here in crimea. and in fact, the prime minister who was self-appointed just over a week ago who is obviously very pro-russian. he said that the only forces who should be here other than his local militia, this local army, is the russian forces. he said any other force would be considered an occupying force. he's told ukrainian troops that either swear allegiance to the russians, or they leave. so this is the ultimatum that has been given to them in. there was an attack from a military base about an hour and

a half away from simferopol here. obviously, the russian forces rammed the gate. they tried to get inside. they ended up retreating. it just goes to show, you know, i guess the brute force that is now -- that we are now seeing near crimea. and, you know, it's also fi filtering down to journalists. they're wanting to control the message that is actually coming into crimea. journalists have been attacked. there's a crackdown on descent. there was a german journalist filming, he was attacked. had a gun put to his head. we spoke to a greek journalist who encountered a similar situation where he was actually hunted down for about seven kilometers in a car chase and taken out of the car and bashed.

so it's getting a lot worse here for the media. and it's only going to get, worse, if you like, in the leadup to that referendum on that march. >> anna, a quick question if you can answer quickly, it seems chaotic, it doesn't seem there's a plan or a rhyme or reason to any of this. true? >> reporter: yeah, look, it does seem very sporadic. and attacks happening all over the peninsula. but certainly from this greek journalist that we spoke to earlier today, he said that things are becoming more organized. beforehand, it was these thugs, these local militia who were the pro-russian forces. these paramilitary are coming in, these soldiers with insignia on their uniform and they do seem to be taking orders from above. >> anna coren in simferopol. thanks. and the white house is trying to find a way to end the crisis that doesn't involve military action.

>> erin mcpike is at the white house. what do you know about diplomatic actions? >> well, joe, those actions are actually quite limited at the moment. president obama called german chancellor angela merkel yesterday to get the e.u. on board with possible sanctions against russia if needed. as the united states prepares for high-level talks with russian leaders continuing, as i said they haven't produced results. jen psaki addressed that yesterday. here she is. >> our reference here is not to keep hyping up sanctions. our preference here is to find an end to this conflict that's happening through engagement, through discussion. russia can take the off-ramp. >> now, here's what that off-ramp looks like as president obama has proposed such a thing to russian president vladimir putin. first, ukraine and russia should

hold direct talk us. there will be international monitors to protect russians. and military bases occupied and in ukraine and ukraine would hold elections in may. we also know that the dispute security adviser tony blinken is traveling with the president to brief him on the situation. >> erin mcpike for the latest there. still to come on "new day" could putin's swagger or posture give clues to ukraine's future? apparently, the pentagon has studied his body language. an expert joins us in a moment to break it down. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

"usa today" said the u.s. government has used a technique called pattern movement analysis. the pentagon admits to studying putin's body language back in 2008 but denies studying him

against with regard to what's going on in ukraine. jeannine joins us as the author of the book "you can't lie to me." jeannine, what kind of things could the government learn in studying putin. anything more than just personality traits? >> yeah, what they're looking for, the team they're using in the pentagon you they're trying to determine most likely how quickly is he going to take action. is he spending a lot of time gathering research. spending a lot of time on pluses and minuses including the ukraine permanently for russia. hour how quickly is he going to pull the trigger? is he going to pull the trigger quickly on taking action. general, body language, what does it say. my specialty is detecting desession which we have loaded with putin in the last week or two. a lot of deception that we can prove, he's telling us things that aren't true. >> let's get to specifics. putin first protect his silence

in the ukraine press conference earlier this week. what did you take away from his body language while he was defending his actions and blaming western powers, especially the united states, i think he called it anarchy and armed coup in ukraine? >> he did a zero with his left hand which is what he feels of the united states of america. then a chop. that chop is very aggressive. like a karate chop. we used to see with bill clinton and tony blair. they did the thumb of power, america, i want to you listen. these not using the thumb. the thumb of power is the combination of pointing and chopping. putin is not doing that. he's not taking the softer approach. he's saying this is what america is, he's calling us lab rats. we're a big fat zero in his book. he's trying to intimidate us with his nonverbals. >> what about deception? what are the signs of deception

that helps him to be perhaps other than a liar? >> it's interesting. very common signs one is of contempt. mor moral superiority and the other is a shoulder shrug. the problem with putin we see none of that. we know as a fact he's lying about those soldiers. he's trained those soldiers. he said he didn't train the soldiers. he's in there with a huge presence. thousands of soldiers. he's saying those aren't his soldiers. we know he's lying. what makes him a scary threat. why? he used to be kgb, right? he's a guy so controlled with lying. what is that, joe? powerful liars focus on receipt wards, not the consequences. powerful liars, literally, yo have a decrease in cortisol, the stress hormone that's released. that power liar has a decrease in cortisol and increase in

happiness. they're literally so good as liars, when one lie is said, oh, you misunderstood me. they have an increase on cognitive function. putin is say pro at it. it makes him a dangerous threat. >> the other question is about putin needing an off-ramp. do you see this as a guy sort of projecting the body language of someone who is trying to find an escape route to get out of the crisis? >> i do not see this as a man ready to take action for escape route. are you kidding? putin is all about not wearing his shirt. holding a rifle. swimming in a river. he's all about my dog is bigger than your dog, and bush wrote a home memo and he said talked about a tiny little dog. when bush goes to russia, putin brings out this large chocolate

lab. putin says, my dog, faster, strong, more powerful than barney. it's always mine's bigger than yours. i don't thinke eshe's going to e an off-ramp. >> do you take anything away from the president with body language? >> it's interesting. a phone call, we see obama in the oval office. here's the picture now. obama likes to take a lot of phone calls standing up. when say great sign of a powerful leader, ready to take action. interesting about obama, his right hand on his hip while he's talking and he has a very wide stance. we see him in a casual outfit. i think this was a snow day in washington, d.c. last monday. this wide stance, we see, in law enforcement. i used to be with the justice department. in law enforcement we call this

a short fat candle. you bump a table, a tall skinny table, it falls off. a short fat candle, on the bump, when you bump the table, it stands still. obama is saying i'm a force to be reckoned with, too. i'm not going to be pushed around easily. he's got that nice broad stance. almost in a superman pose taking up the space. think about it when a bear is in the woods to attack you. they say if you have a mountain bike, but the bike over your head to look bigger. obama is saying i'm a threat, too. >> janine driver, the body language expert. that's fascinating. when i get back to washington, maybe you can tell me about the body language some people i interview for the news. >> you guys have a great rapport. coming up on "new day," witnesses say the woman behind the wheel of this minivan looked possessed after she drove her children into the atlantic

a pregnant mother accused of attempted murder after driving her children into the ocean is expected to appear in court in less than an hour. >> is this is such a disturbing story. take a look. this was the chilling scene in daytona beach, florida, on tuesday. rescuers say ebony wilkerson had a blank look on her face as three children screamed for help. >> one kid was on motor's lap like wrestling her from the steering wheel. trying to steer her from the

ocean trying to turn her away back up to sand. >> one kid in the backseat screamed please help us, our mom's trying to kill us. >> wilkerson is is now charged with three attempts of attempted murder. her children are in state custody. >> let's bring in cnn legal analyst paul kellen and jeff gardere. great to have you with us. paul, we'll start with you. curious about this woman's mental diagnosis at the time of this is going to play into they are defense. and are you surprised by the charges she faces? >> attempted first degree murder, three counts and she's also charged with child abuse. frankly, if you put those charges together, it would result in her being in prison for the rest of her life if she's convicted of those charges. i would, of course, anticipate an insanity defense. and you know, it's always possible jurors will have sympathy for her because they'll just think it was mental illness that contributed to this crime.

but very, very serious charges for this crime. >> how hard would it be to prove to a jury that she didn't know write from wrong box of her mental state? >> that's a great question, john. i think what a lot of people get confused with the legal system is that when 71 is severely ill, people think, gee, that have a good insanity defense. not necessarily. in the legal system, the standard is that you don't understand the nature and consequences of your act. here's what the sheriff's said. she planned this killing. she told her kids she was going to kill them. she was going to take them to a safer place and they should close their eyes and when the rescuers tried to pull the kids out of the car she blocked the rescuers and tried to continue with the crime. that means she knew exactly what she was doing and does not make out an insanity defense. >> you hear them saying i'm taking you to a safe place. i want to go to you, jeff, how

similar is this case to andrea yates, remember her as a mother found not guilty by reason of insanity after drowning her five childrens. >> i think it's similar. absolutely mental health issues play in here. the sister of miss wilkerson actually contacted the police said that her sister checked out of a hospital after she had checked her in against doctor's advice number one. number two, she was talking about hearing demons, seeing jesus, this is a woman extremely disturbed. think about this, if she really wanted to kill these children, okay? she could have done this privately. she could have poisoned them the fact that she drove a car into the ocean, something so explosive, something that is so public speaks to me of severe mental health issues. by the way, she was trying to kill herself and she's also pregnant. som, i think this woman has a great chance of getting a not

guilty by reason of insanity even though it is one of the hardest things to prove. paul is absolutely correct about that. >> we haven't even begun to talk about the effect on those children of being driven off into the ocean and having to tell the authorities, that our mother's trying to kill us. let's talk about the warning signs here because that's where the case gets complicated. the mother was actually stopped about two hours before she drove into the ocean. here's what she told one of the officers who pulled her over. she said it was clear during my observation conversation that she was covering from some form of mental illness but she was lucid and did not provide any signs that she met the baker act requirements. so let's just talk about the baker act, paul. and why it prevented the police from taking action. what is the baker act? >> well, i think that police officer was dead wrong. the baker act, by the way is an act in florida, it exists in

most other states. and it lists what you need to put somebody in a psychiatric hospital. and basically, if somebody is exhibiting signs and symptoms that they're a danger to themselves or others, you take them to a hospital. they get examined by two psychiatrists or a psychiatrists and a psychologist, and they can be held for at least 72 hours for a psychiatric evaluation. it's not up to the cops to do the evaluation. it's up to the cops to say, hey, this is a person who needs to be evaluated. they're looking at a woman who is saying strange things in a car full of kids. right off the bat, she's a danger. she's driving that automobile right out of the hospital for observation into the baker act. >> expected to make an appearance before a judge today, what can we expect in court? >> i would expect you'll see substantial bail set on this case. it's an attempted first degree murder case, on the face of it,

very strong against her. i think you'll see high bail. i also think the judge will order a psychiatric evaluation, down the road, of course, as jeff says, we're going to see an an insanity defense. >> paul callan and jeff gardere, thanks so much for that. well, a homeless man wins the lotto, but it turns out it was all a prank. and now, it has gone viral. that story up next. orbiting the moon in 1971.

and find any way, if there are any survivors of what appears to be this horrific crash of a passenger jet from kuala lumpur ma lair hsia here to beijing that crashed somewhere over the airspace of vietnam and not seen since. it was supposed land here in beijing early this morning our time, but it really has been emerging that japanese officials telling cnn they've seen an oil slick of some 20 kill meters over ten miles long on the ocean and rubbish or debris there. malaysian authorities, as you suggest, not going that far saying they still have to confirm exactly what happened, but agonizing hours here in beijing. more than 150 on that airline were chinese nationals. 14 nationalities in total, including at least three americans, and one infant onboard tragically that plane. >> dozens of family gather there

at the airport in beijing waiting for their loved ones, and as you said, an agonizing wait for them. i imagine, david, a very emotional scene there? >> reporter: it's emotional and also just confusion and frustration. some of the people going in to that hotel very stoic. not saying anything. not wanting to comment at all. one woman, though, that our crew just has spoke to said that she was waiting for her boyfriend to arrive. she had come from a neighboring city here in china. she broke down and cried when she said, they were about to get married later this month. so certainly very emotional stories at this point, and people just not knowing what this story is. according to people at that hotel, there's a large contingent coming in from may lati malaysian airport to give support and counseling. at this stage they just don't know what happened. there's a search and the rescue out at sea but very difficult to

find any potential survivors out at sea, and as night falls in this region, it becomes more difficult still. >> david, have you been able to pick up any information about the crew that was on that plane? >> reporter: well, there was a large crew on that boeing 777. the pilot, according to the airlines, a 53-year-old malaysian national, very experienced in flying with malaysian airlines. this airlines has a very good safety record. the last incident i know of, john, was the in the mid-90s that they had. other than that, a spotless record up to this point. malaysian airlines is regarded as one of the best airlines in the region, and this is a very busy flight between malaysia and china. the reason possibly so many chinese nationals onboard, it was a co-chair with the china southern airlines. so certainly china appears to be bearing the brunt of the worry

at this point, but, of course, you know, with all those different nationalities, including australian, new zealand, american and others onboard, of course, across the world, people are worrying what happened to their loved ones. >> david mckenzie in beijing with that agonizing wait there and families try to figure out what happened. thanks so much for that. we'll be getting back to you. so what could have caused that plane to disappear? according to malaysia airlines ceo, so far it does not look like it was bad weather. >> our early review of the weather situation shows there's no bad weather system at that point. >> all right. straight to our jennifer gray at the severe weather center. tell us about weather conditions at the time the plane left kuala lumpur airport were? >> conditions were really good. temperatures about 77 degrees, winds out of the northeast at about 3 miles per hour. so no strong crosswinds, no fog

in the kbraerp varea. visibility as six miles. very good conditions. weren't looking at any clouds in the sky even during the past 24 hours. there's the south china sea. you can see completely clear conditions. of course, ground conditions mean nothing when the plane is cruising at 30,000 feet. so what we went back to look at was the wind shear. a lot of times that can create turbulence in the upper levels. we're showing the area where they're thinking -- sorry about that -- thinking the plane went down. doesn't look like there's any wind shear at all going on there. up to the north a little bit, but where the plane was last reported, nothing at all. so it looks like weather could possibly be ruled out. of course, guys, we'll have to wait and see. on our end, not seeing anything that would have caused any danger. >> such a mystery. thank you for that, jennifer gray. and bring in aviation correspondent richard quest following developments out of new york. richard, what's the latest on the search? >> reporter: well, the search is

now being called situated in the gulf of thailand around about this area in the south china sea. just between malaysia and vietnam. more on the vietnam side. after there are reports that a sheen of oil had been seen from the water, and that debris had been seen. now, this is what one would expect to see, of course, in these situations, if the plane did crash and went into the water. and now ships and air and sea rescue from both vietnam and malaysia and singapore's also involved. china will also get involved. the u.s. forces are in the area could be involved, too. everybody will be in a coordinated attack, an attempt to try and find exactly where this aircraft is in the water. >> now, richard, let's talk a little bit more about that copilot of the plane.

if a reek fer ee ferique aimmediatmid? what can you tell us? >> it's difficult to say he was the man flying and also believe it might have been the same captain onboard. we were filming authorized filming for cnn "business traveler" on the cockpit, and the copilot, the first officer, to be more correct, the first officer is an experienced first officer with about 2.5,000 hires of flying. he was in the process of transitioning from this previous aircraft to the 777 fleet. he'd had several months of training in the simulators and was now in training onboard the aircraft as exactly it would be, and there would have been an extremely, as there was on this flight, the captain on this flight, extremely experienced training captain who was with him on this flight. >> the most dangerous parts of flying typically are takeoff and

landing. this flight in particular disappeared about third of the way in to a six-hour flight. supposed to be a safe time. is there any indication or i know it's speculative at this point, but that clear air turbulence might have played a role here? >> no. none whatsoever and i would be astonished, absolutely, if any form of weather was involved in this incident. i'll tell you why. weather -- the plane is built to fly at minus 74 degrees, at. 0 37,000 feet and bounce around in the air. it is built for that. and it can carry, also -- now, they will have had, as indeed on this particular flight that you showed me with the captain, and the first officer, they have radar. in fact, they can see on the radar. it's either red or amber. they can see, and they fly around bad weather. in fact, on the flight that we took with the first officer and the captain, we could see the

cumulus clouds ahead that they had to go around because of bad weather. now, that's one aspect of it. the second aspect of weather is that weather itself does not bring down planes. what often can happen is weather creates an environment in the cockpit, or the machinery of the aircraft, and the pilots respond to that. we learned that from air france 447, but weather itself, not a factor. i'd be very surprised in this case. >> go ahead. >> and because there's no mayday call. if weather was a factor -- >> well, that is the most important and interesting aspect so far. no mayday. no panpan, which is another form of distress call. nothing from the aircraft that we know of. we do not know yet from the malaysian airlines what signals the plane was sending via other methods. the airline may know more than they're telling us at the

moment. >> for sure. a lot more information to come. thanks so much, richard quest. long night for you. coming up right here on "new day," russia has harsh words for u.s. diplomatic efforts pushing back on sanctions and even saying the u.s. may come to regret it. plus, more details emerging about the pregnant mom who drove her minivan into the ocean with her children inside. what we're learning from the 911 call, next. predibut, manufacturings a prettin the united states do. means advanced technology. we learned that technology allows us to be craft oriented. no one's losing their job. there's no beer robot that has suddenly chased them out. the technology is actually creating new jobs. siemens designed and built the right tools and resources to get the job done. those little cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment is right.

health issues. did he say anything about that? >> we don't know if she has a history of, an official history of having mental health issues. relatives sold investigators she doesn't. there was a 911 call. her sister, about two hours before ebony wilkinson drove that minivan with her children into the atlantic ocean, she called police. >> what is she doing? >> she's talking about jesus and that there's demons in my house, and that i'm trying to control her but i'm trying to keep them safe. >> she thinks there's demons in the house? >> yes. >> she's not left? she's still there. right? >> she's in the car right now, but i have the key. so she can't go anywhere. >> police did respond and under florida's mental health law kmongly known at the baker act, police can involuntary take somebody into custody if they pose a threat to themselves. they didn't feel she did, did think her kids were in distress. she was lucid.

two hours later, she's driving into the ocean. >> seems relevant to this case, any suggestion that she believed the children were the demons and that's why she was driving into the water? >> you know, she has a history of -- of a bad relationship with her husband, according to relatives. that she was escapen an abusive relationship with her husband. we tried to reach out to her husband but haven't been able to be in touch. police are looking for him as well. court appearance, 8:30 this morning. not expected to be live to the public, but we will get some tape. >> the public defender doesn't see her as a flight risk? >> no. he wants bond and focusing on the mental health aspect. >> we're following it. >> nick valencia, thanks for that. still to come right here on "new day," secretary of state john kerry working for a diplomatic answer to the crisis in ukraine, but russia is pushing back and making a threat of its own. the very latest, up next.

words of warning in a phone call on friday. >> he warned kerry against any "reckless decisions" saying that any sanctions may come back to bite the u.s. cnn foreign affairs reporter elise joins us by phone returned from traveling with kerry to meet lavrov. what did these statements do to the diplomatic process? >> reporter: pam and john, it's just rhetoric at this point and a lot of tough words on both sides. i think in effect these sanctions, if you look what they did. you have some visa bans imposed, but this executive order going to impose these asset freezes and such against russian officials hasn't really been implemented in terms of any specific individuals. i think this measure is designed more to pressure russia into getting some diplomatic process going and even though there's a lot of tough words on both sides, i think that's what's happening. there's a lot of calls back and forth. secretary kerry met with

minister lavrov this week. president putin and president obama are talking. behind the tough words there is hope some diplomatic process will get going. >> push this forward for us a little bit. what do you think will happen now? how is kerry going to try to calm the situation down? >> reporter: well, while they were in rome and paris, secretary kerry gave foreign minister lavrov a set of ideas on how to de-escalate the crisis. we've been talking about that all along. we're talking about getting international monitors on the ground, having some kind of dialogue between ukraine and russia, perhaps in a larger grouping of the u.s. and some european countries talking about having early elections in ukraine and some of the things that would not only be good for the ukrainian people but also address russia's concerns in terms particularly of the crimea. so minister lavrov went back to russia, he'll be consulting with president putin.

secretary kerley talk to him within the next few days and maybe mid-week towards the end of the week you may see more meetings or more calls, which could indicate there could be a type of, maybe not an immediate resolution, but at least some kind of diplomatic state of play. of course, what goes -- what happens on the ground is also going to dictate this, and i think that while there is some quiet diplomatic channels going on, it's going to be important to see if there's no any escalations on the ground yet. >> of course, we have that referendum coming up march 16th. are you getting any sense of an attempt to try to put some legitimacy around that? even though presumably it would be very hard to do that? >> reporter: that's exactly what i think will happen. if you listen to secretary kerry in his press conferences, he wasn't saying there couldn't be any referendum. because obviously, the ukrainians and cry mime mians n to figure this out.

what secretary kersee saying, any referendum would have to be under the ukrainian constitution, would mean that the government of ukraine would need to be involved, would mean that all ukrainians would have to take part in it. so he implied there could be some type of referendum and if there's some kind of legality to it, that might, in fact, actually satisfy the russians and when you talk about all of the things that russia needs to do, such as pull back its troops, such as disarm these accompli militias, get in the diplomatic process, perhaps the referendum is something that that might satisfy their concern. >> elise labott, that's for that great report. >> thank you, elise. still to come right here on "new day," oscar pistorius' ex takes to the stand. will it do major damage to his defense? that story coming up. first, if you're planning a

welcome back. i'm pamela brown. >> and i'm joe johns. here five things you need to know for your "new day." >> number one, headed from the south china sea to the area where malaysia airlines flight mh 370 vanished, the boeing carrying 239 people is missing. the airline says at least three americans including an infant were onboard. number two -- a missing maryland girl who triggered a nationwide amber alert has been found safe. police say 11-year-old kaitlyn burks was located yesterday at a south carolina motel. authorities arrested the girl's father, timothy burks, who they believe abducted the girl thursday after stabbing his ex-wife, and the girl's mother do death. and number three -- was oscar pistorius a paranoid gunwieldi inin ining killer?

the 29-year-old model reeva steenkamp he later shot to death. the defense denying many of the allegations. the trial will continue monday. and the paralympic games in sochi. as a symbolic protest, ukraine's team sent just one of their 31 athletes to carry the flag into the staid yul. the te stadium. they receive add huge cheer. they originally threatened they will drop out, but they warned they will if rush escalates the conflict. and take a look here. police are still investigating what exact lly happened in this video you see. the chaos erupted after two girls began fighting over french fries. at least seven students are charged with disorderly conduct. another charged with resisting a police officer.

international voices are growing louder over russia's military intervention in crimea. pressure mounting on moscow to change course or face consequences. so far, president putin seems unfazed. >> what he calls the human rights protection others call a vile iolation of international . president obama announced sanctions including visa bans and talked by phone to putin but not much of it has come out so far. marcy captor, founder and co-chair of the congressional ukraine caucus as well as congressman randy forbes. great to have you both with us. congressman captor i want to talk with you. what do you think of president obama's response so far? have we gone far enough? should we scale back on stay out of it altogether? what do you think? >> i don't think we should stay out of it altogether. i think the president's steps have been very measured and both

on the diplomatic front, the sanctions that have been announced. we are proceeding in an ascending manner, and, of course, this is essentially a european problem, but we share democratic values with that part of the world and what president putin has done is absolutely in violation of treaties, international law, russia's membership in the united nations. it's an aggressive action to an adjoining state. he crossed the border in a violent manner, and it's just astounding that this could happen in the 21st century. we know russia's history as an expanding bear, always trying to take territory illegally. it took russia 70 years to even admit the killing of polish officers in cat cattian in 1940. we are not dealing with a country that always tells the truth globally and we stand in

solidarity with the people are ukraine. they have suffered enough. and frankly, so has russia. >> congressman forbes, same question for you. do you think president obama has shown enough u.s. strength at this point? >> you know, i don't have criticisms of what obama's done so far in the ukraine. i think we have to realize you have 53 a memb3 members of cong. it has little consequence, when the president speaks it does. clearly the president has to recognize that when members of congress speak they're talking to constituents. when he is speaking now, he needs to be speaking to three groups. the ukrainian people, the russians and world leaders. i think the fault i have is not so much what he's doing now but the fact this is not an administration with a very good track record with diplomacy and i think the president doesn't have a strong credibility around the world, which he could use desperateliy right now.

>> leading me to my next question. what effect do obama the decision in dealing with this issue have on how he's viewed as a world leader and how the u.s. is viewed? >> this is a real test of the united states as a leader of the free world, and i think that our country has responded directly, responsibly. we are actually sending some partnership missions to poland, to lithuania. we are working aggressively as a member of nato. there have been several emergency meetings of nato held. we are working with the governments of poland, lithuania, turkey, hungary, all of the nations in the region. so i think in the short time that has occurred we've done extremely well. the osed, of which we are a member has sent the delegation to crimea. you might note she been rebuffed. no free press is allowed in crimea. this is a delicate and dangerous

situation and the united states is supporting allies as best we can. the one move europe has made, did not admit ukraine and some of the other states of the former soviet union into provisional membership in nato. that has left nations like ukraine undefended, defenseless. >> so what would you say right now that ukrainian people need most, congresswoman kaptor? >> first of all, no bloodshed. one of the accomplishments of this past week because of the attention of the world community and the media which is so important in this, is to keep the focus on no more bloodshed, and i think that the world community, diplomacy at the level of the united nations, within the european union, within the osce, within nato, has to ratchet up and we need to de-escalate. no more bloodshed n. that isn't in anyone's interest.

we have a new leadership in ukraine and have to aid that process. we need election monitors may 25th. these wr the free elections will be held. in ukraine we can't not allow that to unravel. >> mr. forbes what do you think of this osce business they have, as she mentioned, trying to enter the country one way, got rebuffed. trying another way now. is it a waste of time? is it useful in your view? >> you have to have a multitude of different aapproaches. what do we need to do at this point in time? it's important to take as much internal pressure off the ukrainians and possible and i thinks that is by helping and supporting them with perhaps some loans and financial assistance to do that. secondly, we should be making them choose absolutely between the west or russia. i think the third thing is we've got to keep the verbal pressure up on russia, because if you don't have that pressure taking place, it's kind of a green light for the russians to do whatever they want to do.

final thing is, we've got to get the world coming around to try to put a little pressure on russia financially, even though they won't be the ultimate determining factor, it's one component in doing that. >> thanks so much, congressman randy forbes and congresswoman kaptor good to see you both. >> thank you both. of course, tensions continue to escalate leading up to that referendum in crimea. >> interesting to see what happens when these sanctions actually start taking hold, if they do. >> yeah. absolutely. we will keep an eye on it. coming up next on "new day," a baby in california born with hiv, now appears to be free of the virus. a new treatment could change the way children born to moms that are hiv positive are treated. that story, up next.

>> a tease. >> for sure. be sure to catch michael's new show "smerconish" this morning at 9:00 a.m. about 15 minutes from now. >> i'm going it find out what that secret is. >> looking forward to it. doctors say a baby born with hiv now has no evidence of the disease after being treated with certain drugs. >> and if the clinical trials succeed it could be a game-changer in the fight against aids. senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen has more. elizabeth? >> reporter: joe, what happened to this little baby in southern california may have ramifications for how babies are treated all around the world if they're born to moms who are hiv positive. usually whats is that when a mom is hiv positive, they give her drugs during pregnancy that dramatically reduce the chance that she's going to transmit that virus to her baby. but in this case in california, the mother didn't get any prenatal care, so she didn't get those drugs. so what doctors decided to do is soon after birth, they gave this

baby high doses of anti-hiv drugs. now, it's always a question, because these drugs can be toxic, but they decided in this case it wa worth giving high doses just a couple of hours, just four hours after birth. and what they found was that 11 days later, they couldn't find any hiv in this baby's system. now, this is the second time that something like this has happened. last year there was baby in mississippi, a different circumstance, but the outcome similar. that high doses of anti-hiv drugs soon after burning and they couldn't detect hiv in the baby's system. so now doctors are asking the question, is this what we should be doing for all babies who are born hiv positive? so they're going to do more studies. they're going to do more thinking, and this could become the new protocol for all babies born hiv positive. joe? >> wow. incredible. >> huge deal. >> absolutely. >> elizabeth cohen, thank you. he may be a fugitive in hiding in russia, but that's not

one of america's most wanted men will be a major speaker at the south by southwest interactive festival in texas. nsa whistle-blower and fugitive edward snowden scheduled to speak via teleconference from russia on monday. the topic, what else? surveillance and protecting your privacy. >> no surprise there. he will not be alone. turns out wikileaks julian asan will also speak. the principle technologist with the speak project who joins us now from washington, good morning to you, christopher. obviously, a big get. took you over three months to land this. how did this happen? >> so we have been advising edward snowden for some time. this is going to be his first

live appearance before a public audience, and given the role that technology has played in enabling the massive surveillance the nsa has been performs, i think it's only appropriate that edward braer a group of technic's peel like south by southwest which is a technical conference, because technology really is the only thing that can keep our data safe from the u.s. government, but from other governments, too. >> what do we expect him to say, and just how will his electronic tracks be covered, i presume, so he can't be traced or tracked down in russia? >> so for many reasons, i can't go into the specifics of the technology that will be used to protect his information. >> it's encryption. right? it is encryption? >> encryption obviously playing one piece of the puzzle, but many things will be used here. really, ed is going to be talking about the role that technology can play in protecting privacy, and in how we really got here.

the market forces that led to pervasive surveillance. the market forces that led to consumers' information being collected on a wholesale basis and readily available for governments to collect. >> and, of course, not only, snowden not the only man wanted speaking. wikileaks julian aewe julian as >> every news organization in the world has desperately trying to get edward snowden to get before them and answer questions. it's exciting the first plays seize decided to speak is to a room of 7,000 technical people because, really, silicon valley and the technology industry, they are the best hope we have for providing secure communications, and privacy preserving information tools to

americans. >> so he hit the road with thousands of top secret u.s. documents, facing felony charges for alleged espionage and theft. in addition to the privacy concerns, do you think you're going to be sort of getting into the issue of his fugitive status? do you think the audience will even care than? >> i mean, this is an audience of people who build apps, who build websites. who build the as much as and tools that people around the world rely on to stay in touch with their loved ones. i really think that the focus of this xofr the focus will be on technology and how it can protect us all. >> a unique opportunity. what's your most pressing question want to ask him? >> i mean, you know, i think edward has a lot of experience and has a very unique perspecti perspective, and i'm really interested in hearing what we can all do to protect innocent americans from bolt government surveillance. from what he said so far in written testimony before the european parliament, and other venues, he really wants

information to be made safe and his concern really seems to be on protecting innocent people from bulk untarget surveillance. i'm excited to hear how he thinks we can achieve that. >> christopher, thanks so much for that. we're looking forward to it. coming up right here on "new day" what would cause a jumbo sdwroet simply vanish and disappear from radar in mid-flight? that's what happened to a malaysian airline plane carrying hundreds to beijing. investigators are looking for answers and families are expecting the worse. we are getting new clues about what happened. stay with us. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu. mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!
