newsroom. >> we welcome our viewers here in the united states and of course, around the world. >> search crews off australia are taking advantage of improved weather for what is left of flight 370. >> they are checking the indian ocean for any wreckently. >> the so called black boxes, equipment from the u.s. arrived today. >> in australia's parliament, a moment of silence. it was australia's prime minister that said debris was spotted a week ago in the indian ocean. >> andrew joins us live with the latest on the search. they lost the day yesterday because of bad weather.

they may lose more days later on this week. what is the latest right now? >> the weather, later in this week is not looking promising at all. every hour does count now. not surprising, they put up the most number of aircraft of any day in this search. 12 aircraft, seven on site now, on that area of particular interest, it is slightly to the east of the initial search zone. as indicated by the flight path of that plane. currently, seven planeos target on that zone. including commercial planes, the value is they can get there faster and stay on the target zone. they have spotters with them. more eye balls. we have been told by the australian organizers, visually

identifying whatever is in the water, getting a ship to it. there are now two ships in the zone. the australian navy and the chinese ice breaker, getting ships to any debris they spot, trying to make a firm i.d. >> we don't do this often, this is the local newspaper, the west australian newspaper. it is a poignient front page. ocean of tears, they named the 239 people aboard that. 227 passengers, 12 crew. from 13 different countries. it really is a somber reminder of those names there. they are the people, the lives, the family members of people who have family on that flight. from obviously, china, 153.

malaysia, canada, france, et cetera. it brings home what this is all about. it is really is now an ocean of tears, they cannot without doubt, to the best of everyone's ability, through technical analysis say the plane didded in come down in the far reaches of the ocean. >> now, we are getting the first hint from the australian prime minister, this is not an open ended search. it will come to an end. >> the australian government said it is open ended until they can either say with a strong degree of certainty that plane is not in the area indicated by the flight paths or they find

something. the acting prime minister said it would carry on indefinitely. backing it up in interviews. obviously, they can't go on forever. they said they will continue until there is conclusive evidence one way or the other. there are now a lot of countries involved in this. just this air strip, planes from five countries flying. another plane from another country out of perth airport. this is truly an intercept airport. coordination. until they get some sort of proof, it is difficult to see them scale this back. >> just outside of perth. thanks, andrew. >> the key to the massive search is the weather. we seen, it had it to be suspended. it is back on again. likely, problems ahead in the

next few days. >> more details, pedro. >> what is interesting about all of this, what is happening right now, the weather at this hour is far from ideal. we know various vessels in this region, wind gusts, 30 mile an hour, powerful winds, and more so than what you could expect, the remote location in the middle of the indian ocean. conditions will get rougher. the storm system, day three, the peek, 55 to 60 miles an hour. that will send the waves up in spots, like we saw tuesday afternoon. we see another break in the forecast.

cloud cover should begin to part as well when it comes to friday. thunderstorms forecast for thursday, cross the search zone. another day that will be rough in this region. the flight data recorder. an area they are looking out carefully. they send out a frequency, that right there, initial in the ocean. it will be above the water in the search zone, and the depth is 20,000 the feet. more shallow in this region, it won't be an issue. you have to go directly over the locater. it does emit a single. nearing the end of the 30-day battery. once the official battery

depletes, the how far the location can send to the fur face will be it will be limited with this. >> before any of this can happen, they have to find that smaller search area so they can start that process. >> time is so limited. you can't search the region. debris is key right now. >> a hard cut-off. >> assuming it is still working. thanks. >> the last few days, we have seen the raw emotions of those who had loved ones on board flight 370. >> they want hard evidence.

speaking with the wife of one passenger. she said, she doesn't know what to say to her children. >> she is having a hard time stringing the words together to make a sentence. she is gripped by unrelenting sadness. her husband was on the flight that officials say disappeared somewhere over the indianan. she can't bare to tell her boys her daddy may not come home. >> i have no courage. every day, i am scared to call them. they will cry out, daddy, mommy. my heart can't handle it. i don't want to hurt my children. >> she can't bring herself to accept that her husband is dead. after a malaysian airline put it bluntly that all people are board are gone forever. >> what did you love about him?

>> there are a lot of reasons why i love him. he is very good to me. very consider ate, he takes care of me. >> she is soft spoken, filled with anger as well. she does not have faith in anything that malaysian government or airline has to say any more. >> some families had harsh words. the airlines are responsible for the death of the family members, do you feel that way? >> yes, they have been hiding the truth. even though they know. >> she and her husband came here looking for fun and sun in a tropical paradise. it didn't work out that way. her husband needed to take a short business trip back to beijing. she decided to wait for him. she is still waiting. >> so many other distressing

stories like that two thirds of the parnls were chinese. in beijing. what was said at the news conference? >> there was a specific statement made by the family members, talking about how malaysian airline representatives are not here anymore. they haven't been here since monday afternoon. for the airlines, malazia airlines said they are trying to accomplish this, by paying for hotels, and providing translators. the families are asking for more hard evidence. more proof that this plane actually went down.

this issue has burned up social media in china. the chi these version of twitter here, we pulled social media pages from well known people. an actor here, 72 million followers, he said that boycott malazian products, if you we saw 70% reposts in one day. there is a tv host, who said i have never been to malaysia, and never plan to go. >> there is a writer, he has a million followers, he ask he says, they were one and a half,

that brought a lot of i hope this number will become zero. >> he is a chinese, she sings in manderin. we are seeing this situation. >> thanks for keeping us up to date. this search in the u.s. state of washington, rescue crews say 24 died after a landslide. eight bodies are not cover.

rescue officials say finding survivors will be difficult. >> the rain doesn't help. it only makes the crushed homes, cars, damage propane and tanks, making the search for survivors challenging. >> it will be something that goes. >> there is a house on 530, on a slide it is covering the road. >> my neighbor's house, their neighbor's house, taken out it is collapsed on several of them. they are trapped. >> let me get that sent true.

you know they are inside the home still. >> yes, i am standing in a location, i can and yelling at us. >> the search is now called a r rescue teams. volunteers are showing up, like lisa bishop and her trained dog. >> we are trained for this type of situation. they called us off, because of the danger to the searchers. >> on the other side of the slide, officials are getting more help.

not strongly refuted pistoruous's turn of events. without discrediting his version of events, that simply is not strong enough to meet the burden of beyond a reasonable doubt. in the last couple of days, they came forward with more substantial and compelling evidence. >> personal, private messages between reeva and oscar. you heard her story for the first time. some of it was damming. >> what was the worst for pis r pistorius, as a jealous prone to outburst, she was afraid of him at times. these messages occur in the context of all of other messages, and the witness himself stated there were over

1117, and the negative was four. that will all be weighed in the balance. at least, the state has given some plausible surrounding explanation for why he may have is intentionally killed his girlfriend. up until now, they haven't managed to do. >> to establish a motive. going forward, it sent over yet, is it for the state? >> absolutely not. i think it is clear at this point that state's strategy up until now has essentially been to meet the bear min num standard to get the team a need to present their case. they have called their case circumstantial from the beginning it is circumstantial at best in many respects up to now. one pistorius takes the stand, they will vigorously attack him in cross-examine and win the

case that way. >> he could take the stand first. >> absolutely. >> an egyptian court, the trial will resume next month. >> the same court sentences 529 muslim brotherhood backers to death. stemming from violent riots in august. demonstrations broke out against the sentences, which the court handed down after a two-day trial. >> amnesty international, and the united states have spoken out against the death sentences. >> change of pace here. gwyneth paltrow and her husband chris martin. the they have been married for ten years. they say, they still love each other, will consciously uncouple
