welcome back. >> 2:30 in the morning on tuesday here in atlanta. the headlines this morning.

in beijing family members are gathered near the malaysian embas embassy. early year police blocked about 300 of them. the families have complained about malaysia's handling of the search and what they say is bad communication. the death toll is 14 and 176 are unaccounted for after a weekend landslide in the u.s. state of washington. emergency officials say it's likely some of those reported missing are safe. u.s. president barack obama signed an emergency declaration monday and ordered federal aid to the region. ukraine's acting president are ordering ukranian families to levave for their safety.

canadian officials are trying to determine if a man has the ebola virus. back to the search now for that malaysia airline. search teams were looking in the south china sea and through massive corridors going in different directions. we see how never before used data analysis finally helped investigators to narrow this search. >> reporter: it's one of the most remote places on earth and this is where flight 370 went down. the plane flew south before crashing into the middle of the indian ocean west of perth, australia. >> this is indeed this crash

site, it does sound like the flight path is directly from the original turn after the last broadcast and it stayed pretty much on a straight line. >> reporter: if the analysis is accurate after flight 370 turned left it flew for about six hours. by the time it reached the southern indian ocean, it was running out of fuel. a former ntsb board member said certain theories are more likely. >> it sounds to me like there was an incapacitation in the aircraft and possibly they just threw it out on autopilot until it ran out of fuel. >> reporter: with the new data now off the table the possibility the plane went north or any chance it landed somewhere safely. a fire on board is less likely too. >> i think if you had a fire that was that severe that it took the airplane out it would have probably burned the airplane to a point it couldn't

fly long before running out of fuel. >> reporter: experts also say reports the planes was flying at 12,000 feet are hard to accept. if it was at that altitude for a long time. flying low and changing altitudes burn fuel faster and make it difficult to get to the south indian ocean. how did the satellite company conclude where flight 370 crashed? they measured pings from similar planes and compared them to the missing aircraft. that requires some assumption like a speed of 400 miles per hour, the autopilot speed. >> i would love to hope we're wrong. the fit with the model and the pings indicates the area. >> reporter: we're only still talking about possibilities. we still have no clue what happened on board. however, the data recorders will

shed light on that. renee marsh, cnn, washington. grief, outrage and defliel a denial are emotions from some of the family members. some of them decided to vent their anger at the malaysian embassy in beijing. you were there with the families and they went to the malaysian embassy in beijing. tole us how they unfolded and what they were trying to say and achieve by doing that. >> reporter: the police tried to stop them from undergoing this protest and they're message was that they are not happy with this announcement that came out of malaysia yet. they say we want hard evidence. this morning the family members gathered at this hotel. they tried to get on buses but the police would not let them leave the buses.

the family members decided to walk to the embassy and the police officers allowed them to. we saw this huge security presence. security did not let the media through. they were holding up signs saying we want the truth. one woman held up a sign saying husband, please come home. what about me and our child. they're angry about the way they were given that message with the text message. they are saying there's no hard evidence and so how could the malaysian government say this. we saw about 300 protesters there. many have said they never participated in something like this. they are back at this hotel in beijing. they are having lunch right now

but they are preparing to meet with the malaysian ambassador to china later on this afternoon as well as chinese government officials. rose mary, they want their message heard. they say that they are prepared to confront the people at the very highest levels. they say that the officials they're dealing with here from malaysia are not effective enough. >> it has to be said this has not been handled well. the way the family members have been treated, you mentioned the text messages just astoundsing and the timing of this, just the way it's come about. the way they deal with the family and lack of support they've received. let's look at the initial reactions or when they were given that news. >> reporter: one relative said they were given such mix

messages because on sunday the malaysian officials rr saying there's certain information we can't tell you because we have to protect the safety of the passenger in case they're alive. the next day they get the text message saying there are no survivors and the text message is in english and most of these relatives don't speak english. there's that con fugz there as well. once they got to the briefing room and heard the prime minister's announcement, it unravelled. >> reporter: their grief was so profound. their wails from the depth of a shattered heart. this woman cries my son, my daughter-in-law and granddaughter. they were all on board. all three family members are gone. i'm separate. after 17 days any hope that they're loved ones survivor the disappearance of flight 370 was snuffed out after malaysian

airlines said they broke the news to relatives in person, but many only receive a text message before listening to this announcement. >> it's therefore with deep sadness and regret that i must inform you that according to this new data flight mh370 ended in the southern indian ocean. >> the enormous grief magnified in this country which has the most citizens on the plane, 154 chinese nationals on board a plane of 239. a flight that vanished in the middle of the night. some still question the credibility of the malaysian government. >> reporter: it's wrong to announce information like this. this woman yells. where's the proof.

you haven't confirmed the suspected objects to tell us no one survived. where is your proof after 17 days. this is a question many relat e relatives are asking. his aunt and uncle were on the plane. >> the plane crashed. i want to know when crashed and location. did you find some fragment. >> reporter: they are furious at the way the search has dragged on and now broken by the news they had feared. >> reporter: you heard from charles there. his aunt and uncle were on that plane. he said they tried to get a visa to visit their son in paris but were denied twice. they had never been abroad so they decided to take a quick va indicati

pistorius and reeva steenkamp. >> the prosecution is expected to rest its case this week. richard, the evidence of this text messages follows previous testimony of a girlfriend that pistorius would shout at her. how damaging has this been? >> reporter: it's very damaging indeed. remember this is an unusual case. the prosecution isn't trying to prove that oscar killed her. everybody knows that. he doesn't deny it. the question is why. if she thought she is a burglary he could bet no jail time at all. if they believe there was an argument and he killed her in some fit of ranl, that could mean life in prison for him. testimony like this that we heard from the text messages yesterday could make all the difference. take a listen. >> i do everything to make you

aggressive in going after some of these witnesses for the prosecution. that could be heard to do with text messages. >> reporter: that's faexactly right. i just don't know how you can discredit the texts of a woman who is dead. police said most of the taxes are vast majority. we may hear the defense demand that the police read out message after message that suggest they did have a god relationshod rel. >> an interesting day ahead. thanks, richard. back to the search for flight 370. it's focused mostly on the ocean surface. >> details on the high-technology that could be used to see under the waves when
