3:00 am
virtually 18 years to the day after timothy mcveigh attacked oklahoma city. u.s. investigators on their way to asia to help solve the mystery of what happened to that malaysia airlines flight. and new information suggests the plane may have tried to turn around. in the crimea chess game they're waiting to see putin's next move as the clock ticks down. the bladerunner trial resumes tomorrow in south afr a africa. how is the course of the trial different? your "new day" starts now. good sunday morning to you, great to have you along with us,
3:01 am
i'm pamela brown. >> i hope you got up on time even though the clocks move forward. we made it. i hope you did, too. joe johns, christi paul and victor blackwell are off today. we begin with breaking news overnight on the malaysia airlines mystery at sea. rescuers have expanded their search for the jet carrying 239 people, including three americans. >> new evidence now suggests that flight 370 may have turned back before vanishing off the southern coast. and now a "strange object" has been seen on the surface. meantime investigators with the u.s. national transportation safety board are on their way to asia and the fbi has offered to help. >> we also know now two people who boarded the flight using stolen passports appear to have bought their tickets together and other names on the passenger
3:02 am
manifest are raising questions who are on the plane. >> they have not ruled owl terrorism. >> cnn is covering every angle of the story with jim clancy, david mackenzie in beijing where families are desperately waiting for words on their loved ones and mike brooks here in atlanta keeping tabs on the fbi's involvement. the possible path that is prompting investigators to expand their search. jim clancy is in the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur. what have we learned? >> it's still a mystery, but piece by piece we are getting a trickle flow of information. new leads, if you will, and that's the right way to describe them. because there is no confirmed evidence. we were talking earlier today with the man in charge of
3:03 am
malays malaysia's air force, who made it clear that records were indicating to them that this aircraft may have actually tried to turn around and return to kuala lumpur. listen. >> was this turn back, you say, detected on radar? the radar record? >> yeah. we look back at the recording. and that is possible envision that the aircraft turned back and this is, you know, at the moment, as we speak, we are trying to make sense of it and in some path but we are still looking for areas from agencies, o one, the possibility of
3:04 am
turnback. >> general duod did not say how far it traveled on any return route. this has become a forensic's case. an hour from now vietnamese ships should be on scene to exam just what is that mysterious yellow object in the south china sea near where those oil slicks were discovered one day ago. a lot of leads, but, tonight, the mystery continues. pamela, joe? >> and, jim, we now know that at least two passengers boarded this flight using fake passports. can you tell us how this could have happened and what airport security was like there? >> well, airport security is generally good, pamela. when we look at the overall scene, we say this is no different than any other airport. yet, one source within our pool telling cnn that they had not
3:05 am
checked the interple data base and that's why one man on that database wasn't challenged. when i tried to raise that with the director of aviation, i got no reply, instead he demanded to know the source of the investigation. it would be an embarrassment to the malaysian authorities if they were not readily checking that interpole list. we have scores of ships and planes that have been searching throughout the day. all of them, all of them trying to do one thing, give the families an answer as to where are their loved ones who were aboard that flight. joe, pamela. >> so early, so confusing and a huge mystery and we're all waiting for more information. jim clancy in kuala lumpur, thank you for that. an fbi official told cnn that the agency is not ruling out terrorism as a possible cause and that's leading to a lot of questions.
3:06 am
on the phone right now, hln law enforcement analyst mike brooks. mike, great to have you here with us. tell me, if you were investigating this, how concerned would you be about the stolen passports? >> i would be very concerned. and the fact, pamela and joe, that the two tickets that were bought from south china airlines were bought basically were issued together. when it comes to terrorism, i spent six years on the joint terrorism task force and worked a number of plane crashes and i don't believe in coincidences. what the fbi and other intelligence agencies, i guarantee right now going through that man fast and looking at each past and you have the passports in italian and austrian citizen who appear to have bought them together. those are at least two of the stolen passports we are talking about. i don't believe in coincidences and they're going to look at
3:07 am
every single name on that manife manifest. >> what does it tell you, mike, basically the two people who use the stolen passports bought their tickets together, what exactly does that say to you? >> we don't know what that really says right now. but they're going to find out how it was issued, was it with a credit card and they're going to be back tracking on exactly where that ticket was purchased and who it was purchased by, you know, method of payment. these are all things that they're going to be looking at and the fact that there were three americans onboard, that's why the fbi is going to be getting involved in this because if it is deemed that it is terrorism, the host country will most likely ask them to come in and assist just like they have in other incidents of terrorism. again, we do not know if it is terrorism right now or not? >> that is not being ruled out at this point. >> no, not at all. >> no distress call.
3:08 am
is that a red flag for you? >> absolutely. you know, and then the fact that it was turning back, was it the pilot who was turning back? that's the other thing they're going to look into. they're going to be looking into whether or not any of the crew, any of the pilots that every had any issues because, we've heard of planes who have been accompanied and taken down. back a number of years ago was taken down by one of the pilots in the north atlantic. so, you have to look into every single thing. you know, right after 9/1 1 happened, i was with delta airlines at the time and the fbi sent subpoenas and we were going for records of all the people who had been in our database that were onboard that particular flight trying to find out their history and they're going to go back and look at the history of everyone who is on this flight to see where they've flown and who they have flown
3:09 am
with and see if there is any linkage to these two stolen passports. >> still so many unanswered questions here, mike brooks, thank you for offering your perspective. the families of passengers and crew are enduring just an agonizing wait as the search for the aircraft continues. cnn's david mackenzie joins us live from beijing where the flight was scheduled to land on saturday. they had a grim message for families today. >> that's right, john and pamela. a terrible day of waiting here in beijing. across the region, in fact, as the hours tick by and the malaysian airline spokesman had a bad message for the families. take a listen. >> we have communicated to the family members that after more than 30 hours without any contact with the aircraft, we believe that the family members
3:10 am
should prepare them selves for the worst. >> well, that worst is, of course, what people are preparing themselves for. some family members are getting angry and frustrated at the lack of information and even circling a petition to say they want to get more information from the airlines and from the governments and, of course, as jim mentioned, it's difficult to piece together this information in the early hours. >> david, we now know that two of the passengers who were traveling with stolen passports apparently bought those tickets together. what more do you know about that? >> well, that information that we dug up here in china suggests that they bought them together through china's southern airlines which was a co-chair and then those two people presumably impersonating the italian and austrian national both flying and due to fly through beijing on to europe and then separate on to two
3:11 am
different destinations copenhagen and frankfurt. of course, traveling details but in no way it suggests intent what those two people had but does open to question the security information getting on to that flight when it boarded in kuala lumpur. >> have you heard from any of the families of the missing passengers? have they weighed in on this question of the mystery passports? >> no, they have not. and certainly their primary worry now is what happened to their loved ones. because of the lack of information and conflicting information coming in about where that plane might have crashed, if they have found any evidence of the plane crashing in the south china sea. that is the primary certain and that's something that malaysian airlines has repeated again and again. the primary concern right now is to find the credible evidence of the crash where it happened and
3:12 am
whether there are any survivors at this point. but as that person, that spokesman said, joe, as the hours tick by, it is very unlikely given the scenario that we described that there would be survivors at this point. they still, of course, will be holding out hope. >> just a deeply troubling sit wag situation for those families. our hearts go out to them. thank you. still to come right here on "new day" the president may be on vacation, but the situation in crimea is never far from mind. which european leaders he called trying to rally support against russia. plus here at home rand paul wins the cpac for the second year in a row. which voters took him all the way to the top might surprise you. take something. truth is, sudafed pe pressure and pain won't treat all of your symptoms. really? alka seltzer plus severe sinus fights your tough sinus symptoms plus your runny nose. oh what a relief it is

crimeanian lawmakers and in these past few days i have heard so many questions from the american people. questions like, is this the first step towards war? what can the united states do? and hold up, what's crimea? >> good question, right? ukraine is no laughing matter for the real president obama. he took a break from his florida vacation to reach out to world leaders on saturday morning. he called french president and the prime ministers of both italy and britain, as well as other european leaders. >> the president was looking for support to try to de-escalate crimea. >> more on the crisis in ukraine coming up, including what could be russia's next move and we'll talk with a russian tv anchor to get an insider's perspective. meantime in other news, senator rand paul took home the honors for the second year in a

tiger woods looking a little hot at least for the moment after his best round of the year. tiger's back in contention this weekend in doral, florida. >> the world's number one golfer is in fourth place heading into the final round. andy has more in this morning's bleacher report. all eyes on tiger. >> sore back and all he put out a best performance yesterday. one of the best rounds thus far this year and put himself in position to win a tournament on the final day. in 2014, rough for tiger thus far. he finished 80th, 41st and withdrawn from the four tournaments. that got him going there on saturday or friday, i should say and he looked like the tiger of old. yesterday he knocked down eight
3:23 am
birdies and climbed all the way to fourth on the leaderboard. >> nice to get back in the tournament, again. i held it together yesterday on a long day and long, tough day and that gave me a chance today. and i figured, you know, i'm only six back. it's definitely doable. >> today's final round should be exciting, of course, we're all going to want to watch and see how tiger does. t tees off at 2:35 eastern. >> it seems like he gets less consistent with age when you normally get more consistent with age. >> hopefully he gets a major this year. that's what everyone wants to see him do. big college basketball game last night. i know you were interested. >> it was on too late. >> big names in the crowds. nfl commissioner roger goodell, jason garret watching this one and i don't know if you've seen much of parker this year, star player. you know, he had an amazing

game. 30 points to go along with 11 rebound. you know, a lot of people say he's going to be the top pick in the nba draft next year and duke won the game, sorry, 93-81. >> they may have won, but we won before. so, this is exactly. >> and big win for duke as they get ready to go to ncaa tournament. a lot of people picking them to go this way probably because of parker and how good he is. >> i'm wearing duke colors, but that's deceiving. >> this was a very, very interesting story i saw this morning. two high school hockey teams in ohio are splitting a state championship after their game could not be decided after seven, count them, seven overtimes. >> that's awesome. >> the two schools involved. they were tied at 1-1 after the seventh overtime and with no shootout proerncedure in high school hockey, the coaches got together and they decided to
3:25 am
call this game because the players were just absolutely exhausted. >> that's so good because those kids fight so hard to get to the state championship and the idea that they both walk away champions is pretty fantastic. >> look at them, they could barely stand up at the end of this game. this is what the coaches had to say. >> looks like the crowd left, too. >> i have kids that can't walk. they can't walk to the shower. at what point do we put their safety, i mean, no one wants it on their watch to have something catastrophic happen. >> this is how it was meant to shake out. we're going to deal with it, accept it and move along and enjoy being state champs. >> wow. you know, i know what it means to to that in ohio as a state champion in am discuss. >> seven overtimes. incredible. >> i'm sure you guys skated before. i can't ice skate for more than 20 minutes without being exhausted. >> no way. >> give it to them for fighting through. >> they both get a trophy.

bottom of the hour now, welcome back. i'm pamela brown. >> i'm joe johns. here's five things you need to know for your "new day". disappearance of a malaysian airline jet suggests the jet may have turned back before vanishing off the southern coast of vietnam. meanwhile, we now know the two people who boarded the flight using stolen passports appear to have bought their tickets together and other names on the passenger manifest are now raising questions. number two, a judge has set bond for a pregnant mother accused of trying to kill her three children at $1.32 million. yesterday ebony wilkerson made her initial court appearance after being charged with three counts of attempted first degree murder. according to police, wilkerson told her children to go to sleep before driving them into the ocean on tuesday. number three, police have busted what could be one of the largest known counterfeit schemes in the united states. authorities say these two brothers, here you see them right here from new york made
3:31 am
millions by selling knockoff products like chap stick, johnson's baby oil and vaseline up and down the east coast. both brothers are expected to appear in court on tuesday and being held on $100,000 bond. number four, george zimmerman was all smiled this weekend at a florida gun show autographing photos and greeting the small crowd that came to see the controversial guest of honor. according to a report, the gun show was forced to move out of its original larger venue because of public backlash. it's been just over two years since the former neighborhood watch captain shot and killed 17-year-old trayvon martin. and in one week, people in ukraine's crimean peninsula will vote on a referendum to join the resolution or become part of ukraine. accused of more bullying tactics and blocking international observers from blocking that region and taking over ukrainian
3:32 am
military office and shooting at a ukrainian plane. president obama might be on vacation but he is working the phones. yesterday he called the leaders of britain, italy and france and secretary of state john kerry giving a stern warning that diplomacy will end if russia continues to escalate the situation or try to annex crimea. joining us live from moscow, russian journalist and tv anchor. vladimir, we have one week before the crimea referendum. what happened if they vote to join russia? is that just what putin wants? >> i'm not sure. and i would like to point out i'm also a u.s. citizen, just to make it clear that i don't take sides in this conflict. i think saying that it's the end of diplomacy, well, what comes aft after diplomacy? is it force and have a war over crimea and world war iii. at this point in time one has to be very careful with what one
3:33 am
says and i think there is a way out of this conflict. >> are the fears that voting could be rigged in putin's favor overblown or do you think they're just about on the money? >> i think they're way overblown. it's clear. i mean, i've been to the crimea 60 times and 60% of that was russian ethnic and always part of russia, as they were, once upon a time. they will vote in favor of becoming part of the russian federation and, frankly, i wouldn't want to see that happen because i think it's very dangerous. because, let's put it this way, crimea is part of ukraine and it would create a very, how should i put this? a very dangerous situation. not the first time territorial integrity has been insulted. it happened when yugoslavia was disbanded and the united states went in to and it happened before and it's never a good thing.
3:34 am
i hope it doesn't happen here. as i said, i think there's a way out. one would be for the west, for the united states and for western europe to sign some kind of agreement with russia that ukraine would never, at least in the next 50 years, become a member of nato. because russia is very, very worried about nato being in ukraine. and the second thing would be, perhaps, the new ukrainian government to include a clause in the constitution guaranteeing that the russian language would be the second official language of ukraine. i think those two steps might be a way to solve the whole issue. >> what do you make of secretary kerry's threat to russia that diplomacy is going to end if russia's military actions continue to escalate? is this just angry words between envoys and empty threat or more to it? >> i wish i knew. what could there be more to it. sanctions are already being used.
3:35 am
a cold war? what duds that really mean? or a real war, as i asked at the beginning. i really don't know what mr. kerry has in mind, but i do know threats don't work. try to threaten the united states, it's not going to work and it doesn't work, just not the way to deal with this country as far as i can understand it. >> is there a concern here that in the long term and the standoff continues in crimea it will be harder for russia to get out? what is this so-called off ramp that people talk about? >> i think the longer this lasts, the more difficult it is to get out and the more the people who want to become part of the russian federation feel that they're going to become part and that is what concerns crimea and also eastern ukraine, the second largest city where the majority also are russian and also want to be part of the
3:36 am
russian federation. this is a pandora box. you open it and lord knows what comes out and then how do you close the lid? in my opinion, if something isn't done pretty quickly and there is no decision reached, some kind of agreement that would settle the interests of both sides because we're talking about national interests here. we're talking about geopolitics. if that doesn't happen, i think it's bogged down for a long time and a very dangerous situation will come out of it. >> cnn analyst vladimir pozner, thanks so much for that. still to come right here on "new day," the trial of south african oscar pistorius has differences from an american trial, including no jury. we'll tell you, next. without s. if you have yet to master the quiet sneeze... you stash tissues like a squirrel stashes nuts...

we're all being watched, that's according to weikileaks founder who spoke yesterday. assange thrushed into the public spotlight appeared veea satellite. assange told the audience his life in the embassy is like a prissen and the ability to surveill everyone on the planet is "almost there." well, if you've been watching some of the oscar pistorius trial at home, you may have noticed some differences between the south african legal system and our own. the huge list of witnesses, only a judge, no jury. here to walk us through this editorial producer nadia
3:41 am
bilchik. the fact there is no jury. can you explain why that is? >> there were juries up to 1969 but during the apartheid given the race issues in south africa a concern that a white jury would be prejudice against black defendants. the other thing was that a jury wouldn't have the qualifications to make legal decisions. so, we have just the judge in this case, she's only the second black woman to be appointed as judge to a high court. she will have to give all the reasons behind her decisions and if you notice, she has two assessors on either side of her. now, the assessors are to assist her. not with legal interpretation, that is after her, they are there to assist with the facts. they are called experts. >> let's talk about the testimony here because i noticed big differences that we're hearing and seeing there that you don't see here in the u.s. can you break it down for us? >> if you notice the girlfriend who testified on friday,
3:42 am
samantha taylor, it was character witness. testimony that would not be allowed, as you said, in a u.s. court. so, let's take a listen to the leeway that south african courts have. >> the first time our relationship ended was when he cheated on me with -- >> just take your time, please. just pause for a moment. >> in a u.s. court, that would be seen as character witness. it would be seen as nonpermissible evidence. but here you have someone crying, talking about his character. later on she talks about the fact that oscar cheated on her with reeva steenkamp. that kind of leeway american lawyers are allowed in south african corporate. to be concerned that that kind of emotional testimony would sway a jury, where this belief
3:43 am
and understanding that the judge is much more objective about it all. >> and, you know, if this was happening in the u.s., you would probably hear objection a lot more. you didn't hear that there, nadia. also interesting to note, i think people were listening to it. she kept saying my lady. >> she had boeen coached to referred to the judge as my lady based on the britain system of law. if it was a male judge, it would be given my lord. given her accent she kept saying my lady which sounded rather strange and the prosecution was addressing her. >> i know a lot of people are talking about that. i want to get your perspective because you're from south africa and his response was he thought it was an intruder. tell us what the crime is like in south africa. >> it is very bad but even hard to believe that if he thought it
3:44 am
was an intruder, he wouldn't check on his girlfriend. this is the picture that is being portrayed to the world. so, i'm not saying crime is not an issue, but just hard to believe that he wouldn't check on the girlfriend. but if you think americans are obsess would the trial, in south a africa a 24-hour ballistic, prosecution, defense, people who are talking about this and what we're seeing, pamela, really, is human drama at its most compelling. so, remains to be seen. this week we're going to see more expert witnesses and we're going to hear a lot more from certainly peter barber who was the security guard who says that when he called oscar after reeva had already been shot that pistorius said it was all fine. >> absolutely. i think there's still a lot to learn and this is still unfolding and certainly a fascination with this trial. thank you, nadia, thank you. a different kind of drama coming up on "new day."

3:57 am
>> thank you, mr. president. good evening. recently i got a very disturbing call. crimea had been taken. i hate it when things are taken. during the crisis, the united states and the european union have been more than fair. but a man like putin doesn't listen to reason. he would rather ride in a motorcycle gang or get photographed shirtless on a horse. so, i want to give president putin a personal message from me. mr. putin, vladimir, i've never met you, i don't have experience in international diplomacy, but what i do have is a very particular set of skills. >> liam neeson to the rescue. did you see the movie "taken"? >> yeah. >> it's pretty good. the spelling bee standoff is over. remember now two rival spellers

h right before impact. well, thank you so much for starting your morning with us. >> the next hour of your "new day" starts right now. good sunday morning. great to have you along with us. i'm pamela brawn. >> i'm joe johns. 4:00 on the west. this is "new day sunday." we begin with breaking news overnight on the malaysia airline mystery at sea. rescuers have expanded their search for the jet carrying 239 people, including three americans. now, new evidence suggests flight 370 may have turned back before vanishing off the southern coast of vietnam. >> 40 ships and 22 planes are now combing those waters where mile-long oil slicks have been spotted and any minute we expect a vietnam boat to reach a strange, yellow object that was seen on the surface there. investigators with the national transportation safety board are
4:01 am
on their way to asia and the fbi has also offered to help. two people who boarded that flight using stolen passports appear to have bought their tickets together and other names on the manifest are raising questions about who was really on the plane. >> for human smugglers and officials are telling us that they have not ruled out terrorism at this point. as you can imagine, an absolutely agonizing two days for the families of the passengers and crew on flight 370. >> so far no defwinitive word o what happened to their loved ones. david mckenzie is in beijing where the plane was supposed to arrive yesterday morning but never did. tell us about the two passengers who were traveling with stolen passports and apparently bought their tickets together? >> well, joe and pamela, a disturbing revelation that these two passengers who were on the manifest and then those people said they weren't onboard. it seems like it's a case of stolen identity.
4:02 am
these two people impersonating an italian and an austrian national appear to have bought those tickets together and and were due to fly to kuala lumpur and then separate to two different destinations. we don't know at all what the intent of these people were, but it does point to potential security lapses at the airport and immigration side in malaysia and certainly were in development. joe and pamela. >> also, malaysia airlines had a grim mesage for the families. tell us about that. >> well, they've been waiting, pamela, here for hours and now more than a day here in beijing and more than 150 of the passengers onboard that flight were chinese. so, the vast majority of people who are agonizingly waiting to get news, some definitive news of what happened are here in china and the malaysian airline
4:03 am
official unfortunately gave them pretty bad news today. take a listen. >> we have communicated to the family members that after more than 30 hours without any contact with the aircraft, we believe that the family members should prepare themselves for the worst. >> well, certainly they're preparing them selves for the worst, but telling us that they're just frustrate would the lack of information as dozens of ships and planes are spotting on the ocean trying to find out whether that unusual piece of debris in the sea has any evidence towards where this plane went down. john and pamela? >> how is the airline responding with information for the families given that they only know so much apparently? >> well, that can be very careful, joe, that they don't give rumors or even some of the
4:04 am
information that we have corroborated ourselves. because you need to find out something definitive if you're a family member. they have to weigh those two things. the big contingent that officials provide counseling. the word from state chinese media they're helping them get passports, those who don't have travel documents and possibly fly out close family members, but only on tuesday here in china to malaysia where there will be this main staging ground of this operation. but very agonizing for those family members as this international effort, including u.s. missile destroyer in the region of the south china sea to try and find out what exactly happened. >> david in beijing, thank you for that report. a texas company says 20 of its employees were on the malaysia airlines flight that disappeared. the company says 12 of those employees are from malaysia and
4:05 am
8 are from china. the company set up counselors to be available for family members of those employees. and three americans were aboard malaysia airline flight including phil wood. the 50-year-old father of two was a man of god and a man of honor and integrity. he was working for ibm in asia. a long-time friend who knew wood said he was a wonderful person who loved to travel since he was a teenager. >> his job with ibm took him multiple places around the world. he was in the process of being transferred from beijing to malays malaysia. he loved the world. he loved everyone. >> wood has two sons who are living in texas. a malaysian air force general said today that new data suggests flight 370 may have turned back before it disappeared off the southern coast of vietnam. >> let's bring in mary who is an
4:06 am
inspector general and now an aviation attorney. first off, mary, obviously, we still have a lot to learn and just speculation at this point about what happened. but what is your take on the situation on this mystery? >> well, speculation at least that it may have turned back may indicate a mechanical or catastrophic problem with the plane. you know, turning back, if you had experienced what we had talked about yesterday, a catastrophic explosion or catastrophic event, there wouldn't be time to turn back. so, this does point to maybe something where the pilots had time to think about a strategy or a plan, but then, again, we come back to this plane. this is a 777 very advanced plane and the plane itself sends out messages. again, we would look to hear from malaysian air to see if they had received any of these messages from the plane. of course, the pilot is going to send out computer messages, but
4:07 am
the plane itself would have done it. without the debris field yet, starting to be very mysterious because by this time on the air france flight from brazil to paris a number of years ago, there was a debris field. same thing on swiss air 111. p>> so, how could this new data help investigators find this plane and what other technology are they relying on in the search? >> well, you know, first of all, they have additional equipment they can bring in when it was necessary to find the air france flight. they eventually brought in that navy submersible team listening for the ping. the pinger will send out signals from its battery from the black boxes for some time. the key is to get that before the salt water gets to it or the battery runs out. and there are also reports where some other pilots said they have heard some sort of a fuzzy transmission from the plane that would give it an indication that it might not be where they are looking. those reports haven't been
4:08 am
verified but saying another pilot was trying to contact this aircraft and may have heard a fuzzy transmission, give them a different place to look or zero in on a place where they should be looking and that would be very important to get those black boxes. while they still have time to find them with the batteries in the water. >> speaking of the black boxes, it took investigators three years to figure out what happened to air france flight 447, which disappeared over the atlantic in 2009. we talked about that earlier. could this investigation take that long until we have some more answers? >> well, it could and it will take that long, even after the black boxes because, you know, you have to pore over the data of what happened. and it's possible you may get the data recorder without the cockpit voice recorder or vice versa. they are very, very good, though, on what they record because this plane has not just a dozen or so parameters meaning recording a dozen things, but hundreds of things it records. once you get those, they will know what happened. but every major airline investigation takes on average
4:09 am
about three and a half years and then you have to sort out what you do for the families, the legal recourse for the families, as well. it's a very long process. i'm still working on the air trans case. that's how long it takes. >> mary, one of the biggest questions is why there was apparently no maday signal. does it mean they had a catastrophic loss of power or what? >> they probably had a catastrophic loss of power or they had a catastrophic event that the pilot had no time. they had no time for a maday because by the time they realized what happened to the plane and losing air speed and stalling, they had to react to that. i worked another one similarly they encountered in-flight icing and by the time they were fighting for the plane, they didn't have time to die the may
4:10 am
day. >> don't you think they would have had enough time to send a signal? >> you would think in that case they would have and you would suggest a transmission problem that they were not able to transmit. again, this aircraft has at least three separate systems. you don't just lose one set of radios or batteries or transmission sisms. they have dupericaduplicate sys. it was a new design back in 1995. >> this was a plane recently inspected, as well. mary schiavo, thank you for that. this missing plane investigation is moving very quickly. investigators try to pinpoint exactly what happened. plus, this -- >> i do not like this uncle sam, i do not like his health care scam. i do not -- >> we know who that is.

[ woman ] i've always tried to see things from the best angle i could. it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop.
4:12 am
seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.

4:15 am
it's going to happen behind me just about 100 meters here in this hotel being used as a center by the military, by the government, by malaysian airlines to tell us what is going on. and, you're right, all those things you have detailed during the day, we had this trickling out of new leads, if you will. i think they should be called leads but the problem is that mysterious yellow object that was spotted in the south china sea, well, that has been found, according to some sources, and dismissed. it's not a piece of any downed airliner. other things that we have found like those oil slicks and we heard them reported, seen pictures of them, not verified that they're from the jetliner and some point out in the absence of any debris field, it doesn't seem likely. it's still a mystery. earlier today, though, we did hear from the general in charge of the air force here saying they were examining radar
4:16 am
records closely to determine whether this plane had tried to come back home. listen. >> we achieved, we look back at the recording and that is a possible vision that the aircraft may have turned back and this is, you know, at the moment we are, as we speak, trying to make sense of this. >> now, the data is there. they're trying to examine it. they are trying to get some international assistance in really going through these radar records to determine the altitude of the plane. did it turn around? where was it headed? how fast was it going? how far did it travel. as a result of that finding, they have enlarged the search area and today there were more than 40 ships and 20 aircraft that were all out there scouring the suspected field where they
4:17 am
might find flight 370, or at least some trace of it. but no word yet. back to you. >> certainly an aggressive search under way. jim lancy in kuala lumpur, thank you for reporting. president obama tries to rally leaders while on a get away in florida. >> we'll take you to washington to find out what may come next. stick around, we'll be right back. so we talked about her options. her valuable assets were staying. and selling her car wouldn't fly. we helped sydney manage her debt and prioritize her goals, so she could really turn up the volume on her dreams today...and tomorrow. so let's see what we can do about that... remodel. motorcycle.

4:21 am
and blankin will be on "state of the union" later this morning and the one big concern is that one week from today is this proposed referendum that would allow crimea to secede and that was one of the take aways that president obama held with the foreign leaders on saturday while he was vacciationing. he spoke with italian prime minister and french president and all the european leaders agreed that this referendum would violate ukraine's constitution. they also insisted that any decisions made with respect to crimea include the interim government in kiev. the way the calls were described by a senior administration official also shows how much the united states is amping up the pressure on russia right now saying that european leaders agreed with president obama that if russian continues its military moves in ukraine, that violation of international law would further isolate russia from the entire internaestional
4:22 am
community. president obama conferenced with lithuania, estonia and the assistance that the united states is providing in fighter jets for air policing exercises there. separately, i should tell you that secretary of state john kerry phoned and those two have spoken many times over the past week, but on friday he warned kerry that if the united states imposed sanctions on russia boom rang back to the united states and now in the phone call yesterday kerry shot back that if russia continues its military provocation in the ukraine, it could limit the united states ability to interact diplomatically. even though the united states would prefer not to be talking about the sanctions, it's clear the tension in the crisis is building. >> erin mcpike in washington, thank you for that. don't miss "inside politics" with john king coming up this morning at 8:30 eastern right here on cnn. speaking of politics, leave it to sarah palin to fire up a

welcome. three big names stopping by to talk about parenting, sex, drugs and hip-hop. jane fonda, russell simmons all of them just minutes away. but, first, i want to talk about medical marijuana. as you may know, this is something that i've been reporting on for quite some time. and yet there is a question that kept coming up. would this drug be more effective if it were produced and packaged? more like a traditional medicine. would people be more comfortable if they could get their cannabis at a pharmacy? there is one company in the world that has a big head start on this. they're based just outside of london and they gave me an exclusive look behind the scones. we're driving deep into the english countryside, now just a couple hours outside of london. on our way to visit gw pharmaceuticals. they make medicines in the
4:31 am
actual marijuana plant. now, although this is done with the express permission of the uk government, we did have to sign confidentiality agreements i cannot disclose exactly where we're going to be located. you see, marijuana is illegal in just about every part of this country except for the secret labs that we're about to enter. wow. this is pretty spectacular. get used to the smell? >> i'm not particularly partial to the smell. >> if you had smellivision on your tv, you would be overpowered. it is a lot of pot. this greenhouse is the size of a football field and several more just like it throughout the united kingdom. they're trying to do something no other pharmaceutical company in the world is attempting. turning the marijuana plant into a prescription drug. when you look out at all of this, what comes to your mind?
4:32 am
>> i look at this and i think we can make generations of medicines over the next 25 or 30 years. >> medicines for illnesses like alzheimer's, diabetes, ptsd and epilepsy and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and crohn's. the key to making these medications is inside these simple leaves and understanding the hundreds of chemicals. some more therapeutic than others. those are -- >> in our research, we can say which each one does. each one represents a potential new medicine for us. we can then breed into the plant the materials that will provide us with a range of beneficial effects. >> designer cannabis plants are then reduced to a whole plant extract to be packaged as an approved prescription spray or a pill or an oil. in order to increase the chances of getting that approval, every
4:33 am
step from growing to harvesting to manufacturing is all carefully controlled, regulated and rigorilously tested so every plant, every dose is identical, safe and effective. gw's big product is a spray for multiple slurosis patients that can prevent or relieve muscle spasms, especially when nothing else worked. it is approved in 25 countries, but not in the united states. one of the problems in the world of medical marijuana is that there is not a lot of research on specific uses in this country, but several where it is promising. i'll tell you one that i'm excited about, a potential treatment for epilepsy. for that what is typically used is an oil that is very low in thc, that's the chemical that makes you high. but it's loaded with a different chemical, known as cbd. that can be beneficial. in the united states, the most common use of medical marijuana is for pain. another use is to help with
4:34 am
nausea or lack of appetite. for example, cancer patients going through chemotherapy. on a personal note, i'd like to say that i'm doubling down on this issue, i'm not backing down. i'm more convinced than ever that patients could benefit from this and unjust to deny them this therapy. yes, we need to do more research to see what works and what doesn't and let's get that research done. you can learn more about this in my documentary including the science of what marijuana does to the body and to the brain. it's called weed2 cannabis madness. right here on cnn. next, they're called the terrible 2s for a reason. you probably know her best as the super nanny. she'll stop by to tell us how to keep the toddler tantrums in check. okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

4:47 am
where does the soft spot come from? what do you tell parents or tell the teens? >> it's only relatively recently that people, experts like you, have come to realize that it's a unique stage in development. before it was childhood and then you become an adult and now we realize there is this period where the brain is still under construction. which is one reason why pot is not so good when you're a young person. the brain is still under construction. hormones are raging and you are not quite an adult yet. it is the gateway to adulthood. and so it's a stage when kids move from concrete thinking, right now, what's going on right now to abstract thinking, big concepts, the future, values. so they begin to individualize, and that's painful for parents because they begin to question the values and things parents have taught them, which is a
4:48 am
very healthy sign, but it's painful for parents. so i try to encourage parents to realize they make you feel like you're not wanted, but you need to be there. and be there very much as a listener, nonjudgmental. remain an approachable parent that a kid is going to want to come to with troubles. they have so many questions. i had so many questions as a teen, and i had nowhere to go. it's one reason i wanted to write this. >> you're 76 years old now? >> yes. >> you look fantastic. >> thank you. so do you. >> i appreciate that. you're known for physical fitness. how physically fit are you? what are you doing with your life in terps of physical fitness nowadays? >> i meditate. >> good for you. >> i walk a lot, i lift weights, i pull those bands a lot. >> good for you. >> the book i wrote before this for teenagers was for older people called "primetime." one of the main things i learned, one of the most

because when people talk, great things happen. i talk about meditation a lot about this program. it can lower your blood pressure, increase brain function. i think it makes me more creative. my next guest says it can even lead to success. russell simmons is here, author "success through stillness, meditation made simple." thanks for joining us. even in the commercial break, you're teaching me things. i feel like i know a lot about meditation. but you and i both came to this a little later in life. how long ago for you? >> for me, about 15 years, and i found yoga about 20 years ago. >> what was going on -- >> but i'm much older than you. >> you look good, though. what was going on in your life? >> i went to yoga for the chicks. there was a lot of hot girls and it was -- back then there was no men at yoga at all.

so me and my buddy bobby and 60 girls. one or two guys. gay guys. >> what does it do for you? you've written a whole book about it. i know it does a lot, but how do you describe it? >> well, first, let me say you have all the research. the left side of the brain, right side of the brain starts separating very early and you can break down that barrier through meditation. by calming your nervous system, your increase your immune system and your memory gets better. there's all kinds of research. not only does your memory get better, you have these more seconds of being awake during the day. this idea of being awake has been talked about throughout the ages, the christ consciousness or nirvana, there's various names for it. the names all the prophets have given this state of what some call god consciousness, other
4:57 am
call enlightenment. these seconds of stillness that come to you, basketball players play ball, and there's a moment where they are in the zone and the rim seems like it's so expansive they can't miss it. you read a book and you're so concentrated on the book that you forget to breathe. or you're in a car accident, it slows. the world is actually moving that slow, but the flickering or the fluctuations of the mind make it move faster. so when it's slow, this is bliss. >> i know exactly what you mean. it's funny, because people who understand this, they have experienced this, not everybody does. it took me a while, russell, to get to the point where i felt like i was meditating successfully. i would do it, but what you just described is something that did not come right away for me. let me ask you the obvious question.
4:58 am
you are russell simmons. >> i am russell simmons. >> you are the hip-hop guy. you're the -- when you talk about meditation, people say that seems like the last thing i would hear. now they know you're involved in yoga and meditation, are these at odds with -- >> those guys two are rappers are more in touch with their spirit than most people. i run a financial service company, three digital companies, a fashion company. we're shipping to macy's today as we speak. i run five charities. i work. i go to work every day and i got other stuff. i can't think of half of the stuff i do. but i take time to meditate twice as day because i'm twice as productive in half the time. i know that for a fact. i know that well-being first. first chakra first. you know that. first chakra, first. after i take care of that and i try to have moving meditation. i try to he take care of life. things go right, things go wrong. i can't add up the day. whether it was a good or bad day. they gave me this, they took this away. it's life. so as a meditator, you want to be the watcher.

the moving meditator is the watcher. and he realizes all that's on the outside is small and everything that's informed and important and inspirational and promotes happiness is inside. so on the outside is just fun. you have to make the world fun. the idea of stress and anxiety as it relates to stuff that comes and goes is self-imposed. >> i'm glad we're recording this because i want to write this stuff down. i can watch it and remember it that way. i'm a fan as you know. the book is great. hope everyone gets a chance to read it. and it's true. >> i'm giving away 100% of the money to charity. which i always do with my books. and i also want to change the world and lift the vibration. it's a simple book for people afraid of meditation and for those that are thinking about it. it has all the benefits. maybe the research that you might need to back up why you're doing it. >> just in case you need some reminding every now and then. it's a pleasure.

thank you so much. that's going to wrap things up. but let's keep the conversation going on at twitter. @dr.sanjay gupta. time now to get you back into the cnn "newsroom" with don lemon. good morning. i'm pamela brown. >> i'm joe johns. it's 8:00. this is new day sunday. we begin with breaking news overnight on the malaysia airlines mystery at sea. rescuers have expanded their search for the jet carrying 239 people including three americans and now evidence suggests flight 370 may have turned back before vanishing off the southern coast of vietnam. >> 40 ships and 22 planes are now combing through those waters where miles long oil slicks have been spotted. meantime, investigators with the national transportation safety board are on their way to asia
5:01 am
as we speak an the fbi has offered to help. >> we also know that two people who boarded the flight using stolen passports appear to have bought their tickets together and other names on the passenger manifest are raising questions about who was really on the plane. >> while stolen passports are a stock in trade for human smugglers, officials are telling us that they have not ruled out terrorism at this point. >> so let's start with the new information about the plane's possible path that prompted investigators to expand their search off the waters of vietnam and malaysia. >> jim clancy joins us from the malaysian capital of kuala lampur. we've been talking about this strange yellow objects that searchers had spotted. what's the latest on that? >> reporter: well, we had heard reports that it had been examined and it was determined that it was not from the wreckage of flight 370. however, we are waiting to hear confirmation of that from malaysian officials. i'm at a press briefing right now that should start at any
5:02 am
minute where we've got probably 200 journalists in the room and 40 or more cameras, all trained here a not only the people of malaysia and the region but around the world keep their eyes focused on this story. the plane was thought to have turned around at some point, according to the radar records. this is another thing that they have to investigate more closely to try to determine just what it was exactly that might have brought the aircraft down. pamela? joe? >> of course that also begs the question if the plane turned around, why didn't they send out a mayday call. >> absolutely. we know at least two passengers boarded this flight using fake passports. what is the airport security like over there, and how possible is that? >> reporter: well, there's been some concern about how there is an interpol database that advises all airlines whether or
5:03 am
not someone is trying to travel on a stolen passport. an at least one of these two individuals had their name in that database and yet that passport was used. when asked about it, the airline official, the air safety official in malaysia decline to give a yes or no. he dismissed the question questioning where it came from in fact. but that has raised some questions. however, unless terrorism -- unless that individual was involved in terrorism, that still doesn't answer our questions. our questions have to relate to why this aircraft went down, where it went down, and still there are no answers to those questions. all options are open and as we heard earlier from one official here in malaysia, don't anyone jump the gun. had they're not dismissing terrorism. but they are he's not making that the sole focus of their investigation. joe?
5:04 am
pamela? >> jim clancy, we need you need to get to that press conference. we hope to learn more there. a little bit more. the u.s. navy has joined the search for the missing aircraft. take a look, this is a p-3-c orion. it has specialized radar equipment with long-range search capabilities. it is taking off from japan. the u.s. "pinckney," the u.s. destroyer, has also joined the hunt. >> just last hour a former inspector general with the u.s. department of transportation talk about what that new data about the plane changing course might suggest about what was happening on-board. take a listen. >> well, news -- or speculation at least that it may have turned back may indicate some sort of a mechanical or catastrophic problem with the plane. turning back, if you had experienced what we had had talked about yesterday, a catastrophic explosion or a catastrophic event, there
5:05 am
wouldn't be time to turn back. so this does point to maybe something where at least the pilots had time to think about a strategy or a plan. but then again, once again we come back to had this plane. this is a 777. it is a very advanced plane and the plane it self-sends out messages. so again, we would look to hear from malaysian air to see if they had received any of these messages from the plane. of course the pilots can also sen o send out computer messages but the plane itself would have done it. regarding the debris field, things are -- >> there are also new developments this morning in the crisis in ukraine. reuters is reporting ukraine's prime minister is going to head to the united states this week to discuss a diplomatic solution. >> this just one day after president obama called european leaders to rally for support against russia. state of the union host candy cowley joins us now from washington. how critical is this latest development?
5:06 am
>> well, obviously the president needs to know what the new government of ukraine will go for and won't go for vis-a-vis russia's concerns throughout the ukraine, but in particular in crimea. but the key here actually at this point is moscow. the new ukrainian government heavily supported -- or about to be -- by the u.s. and by western nations clearly is probably more amenable to having negotiations, direct negotiations, with the russians. but at this point putin is not. i mean he's sitting in crimea. not literal, of course, but his troops are. russia's clearly in control of that area of the ukraine. so what the president really needs obviously is president putin's agreement to meet in negotiations with the ukrainian government. so obviously any time you can move the ball forward and i'm sure there are good reasons it's more practical for the acting
5:07 am
president of the ukraine to come here than for president obama to go there. but again, the real sticking point right now is that putin is refusing to talk to the ukrainian government which he doesn't consider legitimate. >> all right. candy crowley, thank you so much. catch "state of the union" with candy just under an hour from now on cnn. families around the world are waiting for word on what's happened to their loved ones on the missing malaysia airlines flight. >> they include the family of this man right here, american phil wood. >> and the mystery deepens as investigators try to determine why two passengers on the plane with stolen passports were traveling together. people don't have to think about where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions--

a texas company says 20 of its employees were on the malaysia airlines flight that disappeared. the company free scale semiconductor says 12 of those employees were from malaysia. eight are from china. the company has set up counselors to be available for family members of those employees. three americans were aboard the missing malaysia airlines flight, including phil wood. wood' family says the 50-year-old father of two was "a man of god, a man of honor and integrity." wood had been working for ibm in asia. a long-time friend who knew wood for more than 30 years says he

5:13 am
disturbing development. these two individuals who were clearly impersonating an italian and an austrian national were able to buy tickets. it appears that they bought them together off a chinese airline that was co-shared with this malaysian airlines flight. they were due to go to kuala lampur to beijing, on to europe, then split up to two separate destinations. of course at this point unclear what their intent was, but just moe moe moments ago malaysian authorities say they see footage of these two individuals who they suspect of impersonating people who were not on the flight, of course, and they say at the can't give any more details because they are in active discussions with counterterrorism officials. the malaysian authorities telling reporters there that they cannot rule anything out at this stage. >> the video that they have that has helped them to determine that these tickets were bought
5:14 am
at the same time? >> no. the reason we know they were bought at the same time is we were able to dig in to the official chinese e-ticketing system and it details that these tickets were issued together, paid for and tied back to the currency from thailand, and also that they were in fact routed together at least for the first two legs of that plane. again, we don't know what this means for this investigation, but certainly the authorities are saying the main thing now is that search and rescue, potentially recovery effort of this international vessel scouring the sea for any signs. another new information is that they are taking tests of an oil slick that they detected on the water there to see if it can provide any clues. joe and pamela? >> and also we're hearing that authorities are investigating the identities of some of the other passengers on-board aside from the two we just talk about, david. what do you know about that?
5:15 am
>> reporter: well, what we do know, it's not entirely unusual for there to be discrepancies in the manifest. so certainly the authorities in malaysia and fbi and others who are going to be involved in this investigation would be carefully going over all the names in that manifest and trying to figure out who was on the plane, who wasn't and where there might be some question marks. again, sometimes it takes weeks, if not months to figure out what happens to a plane when it all goes wrong. other developments today is that authorities say that the plane turned around before it vanished from radar, which also would pose some unusual questions because that is an extremely rarity, to vanish while in cruising altitude. >> absolutely. >> a long investigation, in all probability. a lot of facts still to be uncovered. also, you think about the passports, these stolen passports. it doesn't necessarily lead to the fact there was a criminal

using marijuana heavily for over the past 20 years that we haven't really seen a progression to harder drug use. that said, i think there are still some real risks with marijuana. drug itself can cause addiction in some people. some people who use marijuana will use the drug so heavily that it begins to have negative effects on them. that's especially a problem in young adults an teenagers. >> in the u.s., marijuana is classified as a schedule 1 substance define as the most dangerous drug with no currently accepted medical use. is weed really as bad as drugs like heroin and lsd? >> no. well, weed is definitely not as dangerous as heroin and is not as dangerous as drugs that are right now schedule 2 or schedule 3 drugs. the controlled substances act was written about 40 years ago, and over the past 40 years we've learned a lot more about the

based on science, not on emotion. just last week we heard that a new opioid painkiller is going to be hitting the market. this is a drug that's basically heroin in a capsule that the fda just approved over xlachbts an advisory committee. so again, if we were making scientifically based decisions, we probably wouldn't have marijuana in schedule 1. >> fascinating. >> the ongoing debate. it's been going on for years an years, all the way back to "just say no," marijuana was lurmd in there. now you start finding some benefits. it is hard it to change people's minds. >> where they stand on medical marijuana, recreational marijuana. we appreciate your insight, doctor. don't miss the premier of "weed 2 cannabis madness" at 10:00 p.m. on tuesday. frightening moments in the
