semiautomatic smith and wesson. when he was engaged by the officer, he pulled it from under his jacket and shot himself. that is according to the military commander. i'm don lemon. it is 11:00 p.m. eastern here. we are following breaking news out of ft. hood, texas, where several people have been killed and injured. we were hold there are three victims plus the shooter are dead. then there are at least 16 injuries, people being treated at the hospital now. we're told a member of the military opened fire 4:00 p.m. local time, using his own .45 caliber semiautomatic gun. he shot people, got into his car, going into another location, shot again. then engaged by another member

of the military, then took his own life according to a press conference that just happened a short time ago live here on cnn. also according to that press conference, this man served in iraq in 2011, supposedly four months. when he came back, he reported having trouble and he was being treated for that, being treated for behavioral health and mental health issues but not ptsd, not post traumatic stress disorder. i want to go straight to spider park marks, who is a general. you walked us through what would happen at this press conference and that's exactly what happened. what do you make of what happened on this military installation at ft. hood and talking about the mental health issues that this man was being treated for. >> the key point that general millie pointed out is he was being diagnosed or treated for behavioral health issues. when you walk down the path, he goes through a certain diagram and you end up with ptsd as a

potential option. so the diagnosis had not reached that point. that was not necessarily an inevitable outcome that this soldier suffered from ptsd. but it could have a result of his experiences and where he was in his current status in terms of his medical status. >> so let's go through this. i'm going to bring in general marks and evan perez, bill gavin and also javier amador, who treated nidal hasan who killed people at ft. hood in 2009. the general said he wanted to give his condolences to the soldiers. this happened at 4:00 p.m., someone firing shots near the medical area and within 15 minutes the military responded and engaged the shooter. he doesn't believe at this point it's related to terrorism but not ruling it out. he's saying the atf, fbi and the

texas rangers, texas state police and local law enforcement are involved. three victims were killed in the shooting, plus the shooter. 16 being treated at local hospitals and they are focusing now on the families of the killed and injured. the fbi and other law enforcement, they're being asked to be called if you have any other information. the people who live on this base and work on this base have been dealing with iraq and afghanistan for the last 13 years, general. and they need to feel safe at home as the president said. they're not feeling staff i would imagine now, and now all over the country, if not the world, they will be examining security measures on military bases because of this. >> they will, absolutely. there will be a very, very indepth review of what took place. it will promulgate across the force, not just the army but all the services and all federal agencies as well. and these new -- what was identified as the potential concerns may not be new. we may, in fact, be reinforcing

what we're already doing. in this particular case, it might have been abrinth or a very simple event where he shoved it under his seat and drove on the car. >> the general said you're not allowed to carry concealed weapons on a base. how do you get it on base? >> just as i described. you're authorized to have a personally owned weapon if it's registered. you have to go through the procedure -- >> stand by. let's listen in on this news conference at scott white memorial hospital. >> good evening. are we ready to start? >> we're seeing a press coverage at the hospital where a number

of the injured were taken and the doctors there are giving us an update. we have just heard from the commanding officer at ft. hood just a short time ago, telling us at least 16 people were being treated, three victims killed, plus the shooter. the doctors are giving us an update. we're having a bit of trouble -- technical issues. >> i would like to extend my condolences to the victims and their families tonight. we know there's been a lot of people suffering with physical injuries and the emotional trauma of what's been going on. so far, we have received -- we have accepted nine patients who have been sent over from the fort. we have eight of them currently in our facility right now receiving care, and there's still one more who should be

arriving shortly. so this situation appears to be at this point pretty well contained and that's the extent of the folks we are anticipating and getting in our facilities for further care. all these patients are in our icu or will be shortly. three in critical condition, and the remaining are in serious condition. we have several male patients and one female patient with us. we're providing attention to the families, trying to give them as much support as they need to help them through this. and we've had a lot of our volunteer staff to come in and help us through this. at this point, the patients are doing as well as can be expected for the severity of the injuries that they have sustained. so with that, i'll -- we'll take questions and see if we can't

give you some more information. >> could you talk specifically about some of the injuries you've seen? >> yeah, let me ask my colleagues to address that. >> we have seen a variety of injuries, ranging from mild and superficial to life threatening. these have been involving neck, chest and abdomen injuries. we've seen several different types of injuries this evening. [ inaudible ] have they gone through surgery at this point? >> two have undergone surgery here at scott and white. one is out of the o.r. and is in the icu in critical condition. the other is just finishing in the o.r. [ inaudible ] >> we are not aware of all of that. some of the names we don't have yet but we're working with our chaplain service and army to make sure we have deidentities r

everybody. we are working to get that. we have the majority of them, we just don't have all of them. >> was it true they were all soldiers? >> to the best of my knowledge, yes. >> are they alert and talking? >> several of them are, yes. three of them are currently on the ventilator. [ inaudible ] >> those that have been talking, have they said anything that stands out? >> they're resilient and always a very positive group of people to be around. it's always an honor to take care of them. >> were you one of the doctors here in 2009? >> yes. >> reflect on today having been here then. >> we thought about that a lot over the course of this evening. i was very proud of the way this hospital handled that in 2009.

i think it shows really the communality we have here and the culture we have at scott and white. we have continued over the last few years to engage our partners at darnell and across the region to make sure we're always continuously improving our response to energy and to disasters such as this. i feel like those efforts this evening have paid off with huge dividends. [ inaudible ] >> you want to address that one? >> i think there's a tremendous amount of human resources that go into that. we have a very well coordinated command center that we utilize when we have incidents like this. there are a certain core group of people that come in to man that every time that is activated. of course, we also have just the good people that work here who are interested in helping,

volunteering their time, coming in from home, giving me phone calls and asking if i need anything. i know that glenn and harry have gotten the same requests, as well. so the community, as well as the staff here have been extremely generous and they're showing it. >> is there anything you need from the community? >> i think at this point, from a hospital resource perspective, we're doing final. we don't have any need for any blood. i would always encourage the community to donate, because you never know when these situations can occur. in terms of other community support, we'll see over the coming days what we need in terms of families and the support for soldiers affected by this. >> you talked about the two in surgery. the other ones, do they anticipate eventually going into

surgery? >> there are a couple still under evaluation. at this time, i can't comment on those. the remainder appear they will not need surgery. >> you said three were in critical. does that mean that six aren't serious or five aren't serious? >> let me make sure i don't mess up my math. three are definitely critical. and the five remaining here i would classify as serious, we'll consider downgrading them or upgrading them would be the correct term to a better condition. >> the one on the way, do we know anything about that patient? >> i've been told it may be a facial injury but i don't know anymore about that. [ inaudible ] >> to be honest, we didn't have to. this happened at the end of our normal business day, so we had a fair number of staff in place. we were fortunate with the

timing in regards to that. we definitely had a large number of doblg fors who contacted us to make sure we had our staffing needles that were -- that this challenge presented. we had multiple trainees available to help, as well. we did have a few key individuals coming from home. >> people were calling the command center immediately. so we had ample staff. we had a large number of folks that chose to stay through the evening hours. many of them just to kind of be extra hands on deck, if needed. we were amply staffed from the moment the first patient arrived. >> in addition to the doctors, it was the nurses and the o.r. staff, the anesthesiologist. it was an impressive group that

rose to the occasion. >> i would say the majority suffered from what appears to be single gunshot wounds. [ inaudible ] >> well, that's probably a little bit hard to put into a quick sentence. i think we all feel indebted to the men and women who serve our country and put themselves in harm's way. it is heartbreaking to be so close to such a tragic event as this. i think all of us here at scott and white, i can speak to everyone, feel invested in the community. we feel a true community sense with them. any time they hurt, we hurt and we feel indebted to them and we want to help when they're

struggling. >> conversely, what does it say to you that this community has now dealt with two soldier on soldier attacks? >> well, i'm probably not the qualified person to answer that. i think there are some folks over at ft. hood who may have better answers. >> but you live here. >> certainly, but i think that the internal workings at ft. hood, i would leave to those folks to answer. i would say this community by and large is very safe and i don't think it's a reflection on the general community. i don't know if anyone has any further thoughts on that. >> i really don't. i they have it's a tragic event that can happen any time when you have a large number of people together in a stressful environment. i don't think it's a condemnation of ft. hood or our military. [ inaudible ]

>> five are in serious and we have one that's being transported right now. >> so a total of ten? >> nine have been accepted, eight are currently here. >> and three are on a ventilator? >> correct. they're on a mechanical ventilator. >> how many men and women? >> one woman, the rest are all men. [ inaudible ] >> as far as i'm aware, yes. >> okay. press conference being held at scott and white memorial hospital on the ft. hood shooting. nine patients in the icu, three in critical condition, we're told that nine were accepted,

eight still there, three on a ventilator, seven men, one woman, fife in serious condition. we're always told there were neck, chest and a facial injury. two people have underdone surgery, one in icu, one still in the o.r. and a few are there, expected to be treated and some will not need surgery. some will not need surgery. that's the situation happening in the hospital. we're following developing news happening with flight 370. another news conference, this one in perth, australia, from the malaysian and australian prime ministers with a statement on the hunt for flight 370. there is new information. we'll bring you that in just a moment. but right now i want to get back to cnn's evan perez, bill gavin, james "spider" marks and on the phone is javier amador.

dr. amador, you treated or at least were able to speak to nidal hassan after 2009 and you heard what the commanding officer, general mark millie said about him. said that he was in the process of transitioning, that he was being treated for behavioral and mental health issues, that he had not been officially diagnosed with ptsd. he also fired the gun at other members of the military, killing three of them, and also killed himself. what do you make of what you hear? >> first, i was very surprised by the level of detail commander millie did give us. and the question of whether it's ptsd or not is basically the difference between 12 or a dozen. he did confirm that he was being treated for depression. he was being treated for anxiety. >> a self-reported traumatic train injury coming back from iraq in 2011. >> exactly.

i'm not sure depression and anxiety, because they're core symptoms of ptsd. it may be part of the signature. it may be related to his serving in combat and theater or not. but the point is, there's mental health issues here. i would like to say something at the outset. you've been showing that the shooter was wearing combat fatigues, as if that explains something about his intentions. commander millie was also wearing his bdus. i've been on the base, a lot of people are in combat fatigues. just because i was right in my prediction thatmental illness might be associated with this shooting doesn't mean it was the cause of it. what i will say is this, however, that the army has done a tremendous -- really a much better job at identifying this as a critical, important health issue and a safety issue. but he was being assessed. he had just cycled into ft. hood. he had been there less than two

months and he was already being treated. he was on some psychiatric medication, we've been told. and unfortunately, i think he may be fitting more of what i suspected one of the possibilities would be, which is that of untreated or poorly treated mental illness does often result in self-harm, suicide and violence. when it's not fully treated. by the commander's account, he was in the process of being evaluated and the process of being treated and evaluated further. >> doctor, there's still a lot more information to come out of that. we'll continue to discuss that with you and all of our experts here, especially our military experts. i need to tell our viewers this. more breaking news to report. a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of chile, one day after an 8.2 earthquake

rocked the region. more on that as soon as we get it. also, we'll continue to follow this story, as well as the information coming out of perth, australia. the australian and malaysian prime ministers about to hold a live press conference. much more on our three breaking news stories when we come back. humans -- even when we cross our t's and dot our i's, we still run into problems. namely, other humans. which is why, at liberty mutual insurance, auto policies come with new car replacement and accident forgiveness if you qualify. see what else comes standard at libertymutual.com. liberty mutual insurance. responsibility. what's your policy?

when folks in the lower 48 think athey think salmon and energy.a, but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well:

jobs all over america. thousands of people here in alaska are working to safely produce more energy. but that's just the start. to produce more from existing wells, we need advanced technology. that means hi-tech jobs in california and colorado. the oil moves through one of the world's largest pipelines. maintaining it means manufacturing jobs in the midwest. then we transport it with 4 state-of-the-art, double-hull tankers. some of the safest, most advanced ships in the world: built in san diego with a $1 billion investment. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. and no energy company invests more in the u.s. than bp. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. gunderman group is growing. getting in a groove. growth is gratifying. goal is to grow. gotta get greater growth. growth? growth.

i just talked to ups. they've got a lot of great ideas. like smart pick ups. they'll only show up when you print a label and it's automatic. we save time and money. time? money? time and money. awesome. awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! awesome! (all) awesome! i love logistics. lots of breaking news happening at this hour. tonight, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of chile just a little while ago. that's just one day after an 8.2 quake rocked the region and caused tsunami waves, watches and warnings.

we're waiting for a press conference in perth, australia with the australian and malaysian prime minister. the malaysian prime minister would visit perth to get an assessment on the investigation. so they will come out from malaysia and give a press conference in a short time. but also, we're following breaking news on three people killed today and others who were injured at ft. hood, texas. the gunman, a soldier turning the gun on himself, that makes four people dead. 16 injured, taken to local hospitals. we just got an update from the hospital a short time ago. and also a short time ago, an update from the commanding general at ft. hood. i want to bring in now my panel of experts. evan perez, our justice correspondent. general spider marks and bill gavin, former fbi in new york.

and javier amador, who had a chance to assess nidal hasan who opened fire in 2009 at that same military complex. javier, dr. javier amador, i cut you off, but you were talking about the challenges our men and women in uniform face and alluding to the stigma that is sometimes involved with this. you said just because he was in a military uniform, we should not read anything into that. >> absolutely. again, the focus on ptsd right away at the press conference, as well. look, this man, whoever he was, has a life story. obviously he was in treatment for mental illness, depression and anxiety are what the base commander told us. you know, we have to wait and

see. he is a human being first. he's serving our country in the military a close second. >> bill gavin, the fbi and atf are involved, texas rangers, texas police and local law enforcement on the base. i would imagine it's a huge coordinated effort, but how might the fbi -- what do they do at this particular juncturjunct? >> at this time, the spirit of cooperation is unique. there are no personal, this is my case, this is your case. this is one case to be handled by all law enforcement together. they're going to look, as was said earlier, they're going to be in the apartment, the house of the individual who was the shooter, to try to figure out what might have happened there. they're also going to be doing atf will be tracing the firearm.

that also with the general telling us it was a .45 caliber smith and wesson, that will tell us why there was so much murder and carnage. that's a powerful weapon and can do a lot of damage. >> general marks, he was assigned to the wtu, what is that? >> he was not assigned to the wtu. he was assigned to the 13th sustainment command that has all the responsibility for the logistic activities on the post and in a deployed environment. he conducted this heinous act in the vicinity and in the motor pool area, as we understand, of the medical brigade, which is contiguous to the darnell hospital. so he shot some folks, jumped in a vehicle, drove across the parking lot, shot some more

folks, then killed himself. >> they're saying members of his family have not been properly notified, that he was assigned obviously to the area. his family was based in the area. still no motive. what do you know about this shooter? >> reporter: don, that's one of the things that's starting to work on. you've got army cid at the scene there. you have state officials, the fbi and atf at the apartment that is believed where he lived in killeen, texas. and now the work begins to determine how much premeditation he had, what was on his mind, they're going to be talking to his wife, the kids, i'm not sure how old that they are, the general mentioned in the press conference. so they'll be talking to those folks to see with the fact that he's dead, they're not going to be able to know what was on his mind when he got on base today. but they're going to be able to ask those folks to see if they can explain any of this. we know again from what the

general said that he had some mental health issues. we know he bought a gun recently in the local area. but he's only been on base since february. we don't know what his motivations are, and those are the key questions that the federal investigators and the local officials are going to be working on in the next few days. these things are impossible to explain. they're not explain, especially to people wounded and killed. but they can try to put together a picture of what was going through his mind before he went on base today. >> bill gavin, i want to ask you this, lieutenant general mark millie said at this point, there's no indication that it is terrorism, but they're not ruling anything out or anything in. listen, nidal hasan was a member of the military against a member of the military and it was deemed to be terrorism. why not this one? >> that's because nidal hasan told them it was terrorism, told them the reason for doing this was, both religious reasons and

the fact that he didn't want to be deployed. in this particular one, as the general said, and rightly so, he's not ruling it out, this needs to unfold as they peel the onion to what happened in this case. >> when we come back, a statement from the prime ministers of australia and malaysia on flight 370. what new information might we glean from that? right after the break. [ male announcer ] this is joe woods' first day of work.

and his new boss told him two things -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find some good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade.

it's just common sense. do you have a minute to think ok, how about thirty seconds? at comcast business our internet is fast. up to 5x faster than dsl from the phone company. and our phone's better too. switch to comcast business internet. then add voice and tv for just $34.90 more per month. time to make the call. 800-501-6000 comcast business. built for business. i'm don lemon. we're going to stay with our breaking news with the deadly shooting at ft. hood, in texas. but right now i want to go to

cnn's correspondents for the latest developments on flight 370. we're await agnews conference from the malaysian and a australian prime ministers. matthew, the search area has shifted yet again. tell us about that. >> reporter: there's been some refinement in the exact area that they've been searching. they've moved into about 1,000 miles off the coast of perth. that's the general area it's been for the past week or so. they've moved it slightly to the north. it's still a vast area, some 85,000 square miles that's being looked at, at the moment. something in the order of eight consecutive and nine ships from various countries, including the u.s., that are engaged in that search. and shortly a nuclear submarine from britain will be joining that search with sophisticated

search and detection equipment. the pingers on the black box flight recorders on board malaysian 370 are certified to last for 30 days. that runs out in may 7 -- april 7 rather. so just a few days left to get to that, although specialists with we have spoken to say they can last much longer. the important thing at the moment is that they haven't found any sign in any of the areas they've been looking at of debris from this disappeared flight. so it is still very much a mystery, don. >> can you talk to us about 24 press conference? what can we expect, any new information out of it? >> reporter: there's already been a couple of statements made by the two prime ministers of malaysia and australia, but

nothing that sheds light on the state of the investigation. they've underlined how difficult the search is. they've underlined their friendship between the two countries. in the next half hour, there's going to be a joint press conference on the air base where we hope they will be asked questions which will give us a bit more clarity on what the focus of the search is at the moment, don. >> sara, here's what they say. as for the criminal investigation and who are responsible, officials say some people have been ruled in and some people are ruled out, while others remain under the microscope. who are they focusing on? >> reporter: look, they ruled out the 227 passengers. so now the focus is, again, on the crew. but not just those who are on the plane like the pilots and the flight attendants but anyone who got near this plane, for example anybody that was involved in putting things in the cockpit, in the cargo hold.

anything to do with this plane they're looking at each and every person that may have come in contact with this plane before the fated flight. so they've got a lot of work to do. we heard from the inspector general who said this is going to be a really long process. it's going to take a while because they're looking at so many different people at this point, don. >> and so they're looking at so many different people, but the focus has been on the pilots, the family of the pilots are not happy about that, especially the daughter speaking out. but i wonder how the families of the people on board feel. are they concerned about that? do they think that they should be looking at every single person or are they with the family of the pilot? >> reporter: well, look, i think the families in general just want to know what happened. they want to know what happened number one to the plane with their loved ones and they want to know why it disappeared. they do not have the answers to those questions. the investigators do not have answers to those questions.

frankly, the families are beyond frustrated. they're asking a lot of questions now. there was a briefing here in kuala lumpur yesterday. they talked to officials. they had military brass there. they had an ambassador there. they had someone from the aviation ministry. but the bottom line is, they were not able to give them the answers that they wanted. a lot of frustration as you might imagine. this happened on march 8. we're now on april 4 in kuala lumpur and no one is getting the answers they want. but as you heard, the search is difficult. there's a lot of area to search. they don't have enough information to extrapolate exactly where they think this plane may have gone down. >> thank you very much. we're awaiting that press conference to happen in perth, australia. also news of an earthquake rocking chile. that's breaking news. and breaking news in ft. hood. we'll be back with that and more on the hunt for flight 370 right after this quick break.

woman: everyone in the nicu -- all the nurses wanted to watch him when he was there 118 days. everything that you thought was important to you changes in light of having a child that needs you every moment. i wouldn't trade him for the world. who matters most to you says the most about you. at massmutual we're owned by our policyowners, and they matter most to us. if you're caring for a child with special needs, our innovative special care program offers strategies that can help.

held and we have new information on the shooter, where he went on the base that you've been able to assess that and give us new information. >> reporter: the commander's comments have narrowed down what we're looking at. this is the base stretching out this way, this is the main gate here. it seemed to focus on a relatively small area here. if we go into the big medical center complex here, which general marks talked about, if you look at the whole complex, remember what the commander said. the shooting began over in this area. the gunman then got into his car and he moved towards what the general referred to the motor pool area. you really get to the motor pool area, a very short distance off. you start seeing right here a lot of military vehicles over here. typical of the motor pool, the transportation folks there. then you move further down the way, you come all the way down to more of it down here. this is all as we thought, all day long, along what's called tank destroyer road here. so it looks like, don, we're

going to be talking about where all this happened, right up here by the hospital, right over into here. maybe a little bit further. but nonetheless, a fair distance. you would have to go all the way down here and up into this area to get to where nidal hasan shooting took place. this is going to be where a lot of focus is going to be tomorrow. don? >> and tom forman, i just want to say that the president departing, getting off of air force one, now in washington, d.c., where you are, the president was in chicago earlier and gave a statement on this shooting in texas, saying that members of the military deserve to feel safe at home and of course, they can't feel that way when these things happen. this is the second shooting in five years. the first one, nidal hasan in 2009, killing 13 people, wounding 32.

now we have another member of the military killing three people and himself. i want to go to general james "spider" marks. we have been communicating by e-mail and you've been talking about pre and post deployment medical screening. that would indicate something to you. >> absolutely. before a soldier deploys, he or she goes through a predeployment medical screening and you get into all the details that might be affecting that soldier, physical, psychological and it has to be done online and a doctor has to validate that. when that soldier redeploys, you go through the same process. what you have is a before and an after view, and you want to overlay those two to see what the discrepancies are. what might have affected this soldier during that period of deployment. so what happened with this soldier as indicated, he deployed in 2011. if he went through the process as he should have done, he would have come back and within short order, probably a month or so,

it would have been diagnosed that he was in the midst of some issues. the only thing i would raise at this point is that if he was having behavioral issues and they needed to be diagnosed, remember also he just moved to ft. hood. you think he would have stayed where he was, be stabilize so he could have a continuity of care, so that he might emerge, get a better diagnosis, and he might emerge from that. he would either stay or go on with his military career. in the middle of that diagnosis, he had a permanent change of station. i would ask that question to figure out why that happened. >> i'm going to go a little more through your e-mail. you said, so because of this, you said pre and post screening would indicate behavioral issues and/or suicidal tendencies. he went off the rail. >> the army has a process that's in place. exactly getting their hands

around what these potentialities might be. the army was trying to get this person in the right place physically and mentally so he could continue to be a good soldier if that was a possible outcome. nobody in the military wants to set nibble up for failure. we want them to have a successful outcome, to do well and make a contribution. the army was doing that. it appears this young soldier had -- that this soldier had some issues. he probably was broken. he was going through this diagnosis and something went sideways. >> he was married with a family in the base area. he had been deployed in iraq for four months in 2011. came back, had a self-reported traumatic brain injury and treated for behavioral and mental health issues but not being treated for ptsd. make sure you stay with us. we have several breaking news

extraordinarily remote and inaccessible spot. at times subject to very difficult sea conditions. but i can assure people that the best in the world are working on this. and every day, working on the basis of just small pieces of information. we are putting the jigsaw together, and every day we have a high degree of confidence that we know more about what happened to this ill-fated flight. as i said, it is a very difficult search. the most difficult in human history. but as far as australia is concerned, we are throwing everything we have at it. and we are confident that we have ourselves, the technical capacity, our that we can obtain the technical capacity from our

friends and allies to ensure that we get the best possible outcome. we do owe it to the families of the 239 people on board. we do owe it to our good friend, malaysia. we owe it to the people and government of china. we owe it to the troubled citizens of the wider world to do everything we can to solve this extraordinary mystery. i stay to the family members of the people on that flight, please be patient. i know this is an extraordinarily difficult and indeed devastating time for you. but we will not let you down. and when the time comes for you to visit australia, we will extend to you the warmest possible welcome in a very difficult period in your lives. we cannot be certain of ultimate

success in the search for mh-370. but we can be certain that we will spare no effort, that we will not rest until we have done everything we humanly can. i do pay tribute to all of the countries involved in the search. apart from australia and malaysia, we have china, japan, korea, the united states, the united kingdom, and new zealand. this is an extraordinary piece of international cooperation. it really is an extraordinary effort, including an effort that's been joined by countries that aren't used to cooperation. so it is an extraordinary effort that's taking place here. i say to anyone who might be

inclined to pessimism about international peace and harmony, this is an antedote to pessimism. this is an example of how the countries of the world can work together. this is one of those times when we are all citizens of one world and we are all global citizens. so prime minister, thank you for coming to australia. thank you for the generous tribute that you've paid to all involved in the search and recovery effort. >> all right, press conference being held in perth, australia. here's the information that we have coming from prime minister tony abbott. he said this is the most difficult search ever undertaken. the most difficult search ever undertaken. that's a statement to be heard. he said it was extraordinarily remote and inaccessible spot.

now the malaysian prime minister is speaking. let's listen. >> over the past three weeks, hundreds of people have journeyed thousands of kilometers to help. we have searched through stormy seas. they have sailed through storms to find the plane. we owe them each a debt of gratitude. this has been a remarkable effort, bringing together nations from around the world. when mh-370 went missing, dozens of countries answered the call for help. their commitment will not be forgotten. in a time of great tragedy, for the countries with citizens on board and the families whose loved ones are missing, this

cooperation has given us all heart. differences have been set aside. as 26 nations have united behind a common cause. the disappearance of mh-370 is without precedent. so too is the search. this morning, i met sailors and air crew at the air force base. i also spoke to the commanders of the seven nations who are here to search for mh-370. they told me of the difficulties of a search like this, of distance and weather and of maintaining morale over a long period. as i speak, ten aircraft and nine ships are searching the indian ocean for any sign of the

missing plane. the search area is vast, and the conditions are not easy. but a new refined area of search has given us new hope. and i believe that the courage of the crews is more than equal to the task. once again, i thank them all for what they're doing. i would also like to thank prime minister abbott for hosting us here in perth, for formally agreeing to lead the search operations in the southern indian ocean. and for accepting our invitation for australia to participate as an acredited representative in the investigation. we're continuing to work closely with australian government to draw up a comprehensive agreement on the search. at this difficult time,

australia has proven an invaluable friend. the australian authorities, like so many others, have offered their assistance without hesitation or delay. i would like to sincerely thank australia for all they have done and are doing to find the plane. we're also grateful to those who have brought the expertise to bear on what prime minister abbott rightfully -- rightly called one of the great mysteries of our time. the disappearance of mh-370 has tested our collective results. faced with so little evidence, investigators from australia, china, france, malaysia, uk and the united states have worked

with a force to reveal the aircraft's movements. their collective efforts have led us here. in the cities and countries around the world, where families wait and wait desperately for news. and in the vastness of the indian ocean, where mh 370 awaits. i know that until we find the plane, many families can't start to grieve. i can't imagine what they must be going through. but i promise that we will not give up. >> so, taking no questions there in perth. but good evening, everyone.
