we overcome, and we own the finish line. ♪ >> boston strong. that does it for us. thanks for watching. our coverage continues now with "cnn international." plucked from a sinking ship off the coast in south korea. and we will have the latest on the oscar pistorius murder trial. and one year later, boston determined to persevere. >> it's about dancing again after losing a leg, starting a marriage forged in tragedy, learning early on to care in

friends, the testing of our faith produces perseverance. hello, you are watching cnn news room. >> we would like to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. at this time a massive rescue operation is under way off the coast of south korea after a ship carrying hundreds sank. we are looking at live pictures right here at a massive gym where those who have been rescued are gathered together, many people are injured and many people shocked. a lot of people unaccounted for and two people are dead at this hour. we will go now live in seoul. it has been about seven hours now since this ship started to

sink and more than 100 people are still unaccounted for, a real concern. how hopeful are rescuers that they will find passengers and crew. >> let me recap from my recent scenario, things looking far grimer than previously. there were 477 persons aboard the ship when it went down, of those 295 remain unaccounted for, as you said, seven hours now after the ship founded off the southwest coast. if you see from the pictures, weather is good, visibility is clear and there are a large number of vessels on the scene. what happened to those unaccounted for, are they lost, have they been taken to different locations or are they

trapped in the hull. some of the school teachers said some of the teachers when they heard the crash when the ship hit something were ushered to the upper deck. some passengers say there was an announcement over the passenger system telling people to remain in sit you, not to get top side where they can get rescued. things looking rather grim as well as chaotic. >> certainly a real concern when you are talking about nearly 300 people unaccounted for. tell us what authorities are saying may have caused this. you talked about some of those eye witnesses suggesting a bump before the ferry began to sink. >> yeah. no one is really talking about the cause right now for very obvious reasons, people are focused on rescue efforts but it

is in the back of their minds. it appears to be an under water collision with a rock or reef under the water but this is highly unusual given these are very, very well charted waters so, why a ship hit a rock is very, very odd indeed, it is a question that will be address in the coming days. right now, as a said, people are very much focused on the rescue operation which is under way as we speak. >> from seoul, south korea, many thanks. the under water search for malaysia airline flight was cut short tuesday, again resurfaced

because of a technical issue it is now back in the water. meanwhile 14 aircrafts and 11 shifts. >> we are live now in perth, what were the technicaler error >> we are waiting to hear more specifics on that. we understand they took the blue fin back on ocean board h downloaded the data, i think it is a good sign they put it back in the water. many people have been questioning whether or not blue fin 21 is up to the task at hand given it is operating at its depth capacity. engineers analyzed it and believe it can go some five

kilometers, but it would need to be reprogrammed. operating at these depths with the pressure, two and a half family cars worth per square inch on this little sub, and then you have this unknown terrain, they believe it is largely flat and rolling but they are not entirely sure, there's a lot of unknowns and questions, some openingly wondering if the blue fin 21 is up to the task. >> with that in mind with them trying to reprogram it to make it go deeper, if it can't do that, is there a plan "b"? >> well at the moment it seems that the australians are sticking with the blue fin 21, the man in charge of this multi

national search effort believes most of the train is on the right side of 4.5 kilometers, well within blue fin 21's cap capsicap capacity, as far as we know they are sticking with it. >> thank you. looks like this will be a long operation. plenty more technical glitches to come. live from perth. we turn now to the crisis in ukraine which russian president vladimir putin said is on the brink of civil war, his phone call came on tuesday, saying it has launched an anti terrorist operation against pro-russian protesters in the eastern part of the country. troops have taken over an

airport, tried to stop armored personnel carriers from entering the city. cnn is not able to independently verify the videos. struggling for weeks with just how far it can go in dealing with these protests, as nick reports it is changing. >> the ukrainians asking where is the armiey, deep in the farm land come the answer, armor, locals are baffled, welcoming paratroopers. one driving east and then north around the town held by pro-russian militants. completing a task that orders

changing. >> he is telling us he is from the southwest of the country and while we don't know where these troops are headed, they do tell us the command ers say their orderers are changing in this part of eastern ukraine. >> further up the road this check point on the border, the police and local volunteers insisting they will fight. i may start here, russian media say it is encircled, ukrainian officials say they are retaking it. it doesn't sound like it from here. it was south where the change was starkest, days ago, prorussian militants stormed its

police station, now the barricades are cleared away and the real local police are back in place but won't talk on camera. a tide of local hostility have gathered near the airfield, shots fired in the air as local men, one perhaps drunk, tried to aproproach the newest arrival. ukrainian troops was flown in, no reports of casualties. what has happened here has become an attraction for locals to come and look at and also a chance to voice their displeasure by this latest action by the ukrainian government. >> we don't recognize that government's authorities when normal people without arms came in on helicopters shot at peaceful people.

after all this it is unlikely west will be friends with east. these signs of authority landing with pro-russian anger has lit a fire that they will struggle to distinguish. russian foreign minister was in beijing on tuesday and lashed out at ukraine's interim government. >> they make uplies to justify their aggressive plans. they are spreading lies, things the russian federation are intended or not intending to do, i have never heard such nonsense. oscar pistorius murder trial will resume in about 20 minutes from now. dixon will be asked to return to the witness stand, he was the first witness, he testified

pistorius's bedroom was pitch black backing the defenses claim he could not tell she wasn't in the bed. >> before dixon took the stand the prosecuted insisted the killing was premeditated. here's the final moments of the cross examination. >> you also said that you pulled the door to try to pull it open. >> that's correct. >> and that's also with the gun in your right. >> that's correct, my lady. >> why would you do that if you would want to do anything, why would you still run around with a gun in your snahand? >> i don't know, my lady. >> because it's not true. >> that's not true, my lady. >> you're constantly thinking of

a version. >> that's not true, my lady. >> once again we have -- we shouldn't blame you for the fact you shot. >> you're right. i agree, my lady. >> who should we then blame. we should blame somebody or something. who should we blame. >> i'm not sure, my lady. >> she locked herself into a toilet and you armed yourself for the sole purpose of shooting and killing her. >> that's not true, my lady. >> that's what you did, because of your intentions. >> opposite, my lady. >> i have nothing further of this witness. >> much more on the trial. >> legal analyst joins us with

got so much help from everybody. it was so long ago but feels so quick at the same time. >> we first met them shortly after each man's right leg was am pu tated. hours felt like days. >> it's like a nightmare. >> for weeks they were in separate hospitals, tough for brothers who were known for being inseperable. >> i have stitches and staples and burns on my stoppling and back. >> i had my leg open from here to here. >> they willed themselves to keep moving, relearning the basics during months of gruel

recovery, and some 50 surgeries. they haven't looked back. they have been biking and training with weights. >> i feel way better than last year, even before i got hurt. >> their dedication is like nothing i've ever seen. >> now they are managing without crutches, they have written a book "twice as strong" and been on tv. >> it is hard because it was kind of like one of the best years of my life. >> why? >> everyone was so good to us, we got cards from kids in alabama. how can you have a bad day then. >> now they say it is about looking forward. for paul that means getting married to his fiance who was also injured that day. >> at one point you feel your

life won't go on but we are very excited to move on. >> they say they will manage like they always have, together. cnn, boston. >> incredible and many survivors still need help as they continue their recovery, if you would like to pitch in, check out cnn.com/impact. we have a list of reputable funds that are working directly with the victims. still to come, the duke and dutchess have arrived in sydney. >> we will see what's on the agenda for their visit down under. hey! okay...i'm ready to come in now. hello? i'm trying my best.

>> top story this hour, a ferry boat has gone down off the south korea coast leaving two dead and seven injured.

>> just hours of a distress call, as many as 295 might be unaccounted for. many jumped from the sinking ship into dangerously cold waters. >> we want to check conditions now. low clouds and dangerously cold water conditions in the china sea. >> let's get an idea of what it is like over there. it getting warm. >> the temperature in seoul about 70 degrees, the sea temperature is a major concern. pretty incredible looking at the rescue operations going on. we have a weak system pushing

out of the region around jeju island. low clouds kaindicated in the dl white and gray colors, it will clear up but there will be another one in the next 24 hours. sea temperatures about 50 degrees farenheit. typically any time you are in that water one to two hours you will reach exhuastion and one to six hours is survival time. water reduces body heat 25 times faster than the same temperatures in the air would. and of course the amount of

clothing you are wearing, your body fat percentage, and your activity in the water dictate and plays on that. and of course the initial shock you get from the cold temperatures makes you lose your ability to move your limbs as well, making it a very difficult situation to be in. >> and the big worry is if people are trapped inside. many thanks. well, google launched its public one-day sale of google glass on tuesday, only for buyers in the united states. >> yeah the same day filed patents for wearables that are much smaller, a google glass light contact lens, now it would have a tiny built in camera enabling the wearing to take pictures of what he or she sees.

holding george and from the looks of it the young prince looked excited. >> they soon met at the op raw house, started the day in new zealand. just minutes away from the start of the oscar pistorius trial. >> we will ask did he do more harm than good during his seven days on the witness stand. stay with us. while helping ensure credits you've already earned pay off. and we have career planning tools to keep you on track every step of the way. plus the freshman fifteen, isn't really a thing here. and graduation, it's just the beginning. because we build education around where you want to go. so, you know, you can get the job you want. ready, let's get to work.

>> welcome back to cnn newsroom. >> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world and check the headlines. at least two people are dead after a ferry boat sinks off south korea's coast. 477 people were on the vessel and as many as 295 unaccounted for. reports say most of the passengers were high school students. russian president vladimir putin is warning ukraine is on the brink of civil war. troops have reportedly retaken an airport. the under water subsearching for malaysia missing airliner

had to resurface but the sub is now back in the water. there are concerns over an al qaeda video that recently surfaced that contains an om nous warning directed towards the united states. >> it is the most dangerous gathering of al qaeda for years and the u.s. officials won't say if they knew about it or not. but every frame is being analyzed. in the middle the man known as al qaeda's prince out in the open greeting followers, a man who wants to attack the u.s.,

seemingly unconcerned he may be hit by a drone. >> extraordinary video, number two of al qaeda worldwide addressing over 100 fighters, some in yemen taking a big risk in doing this. >> in a speech he makes clear he is going after the u.s. saying we must eliminate the cross, the bearer of the cross is america. u.s. officials mean the highly produced video is recent with some fighters faces blurred there is worry it all signals a new round of plotting. >> there's good reason to worry, al qaeda in the arabian pennisula is considered the most

dangerous -- they have been killland repeatedly with drone strikes, but the group is emboldened. >> they have bomb makers who can put bombs on planes that are not detect zbed detected. >> he is believed to be responsible for fail attempts on the u.s. he is not seen in the svideo on websites. he remains in hiding. he and other leaders have gone back to using kouriers to communica communicate. making it harder to figure out what is happen. >> his message is same as bin laden, we're coming after you. >> if al qaeda in yemen is such

a major event, why was there no tin si insider who could warn this meeting was taking place. the face of as many as 200 girls is unknown at this hour. dozens of armed men attacked their school and abducted the girls. the attackers then burned homes in the town and fled with the students. they are part of a group that carried out other deadly schools in the area. >> we will take a short break and have more after this. with one towelette. can your makeup remover do that? [ female announcer ] neutrogena® makeup remover.

>> court is back in session at this hour in the oscar pistorius murder trial. >> this is the first time in

more than a week he won't take the stand. >> his gruel cross examination ended yesterday. there are still witnesses left to call. but will it matter, let's listen in. >> where the accused is at or in custody. for that reason it will often take precedent over the matter where the accused is out on bail. in coming to my decision, i've taken that into consideration as well as the fact that counsel have made themselves available for this trial way beyond the time that was initially estimated. in addition to the above, i've considered the degree of progress which has been made in this case, the record runs into almost 2,000 pages and that excludes the bail application and bailiffs exhibits.

much of the evidence is technical evidence from expert witnesses, there's a lot of reading to be done and we will use the break to work on the record. i urge counsel who will be going on holiday and take the record with them and find some time to to do some work. in many i view that will some what occ curt tail the time to t a judgment. lastly, it is so that an accused is entitled to speedy justice, that however has to be weighed together with other equally important considerations such as those stated above. one consideration in this case is that the postponement is only for seven working days, which period is not unduly long in my

view, that can hardly cause the accused prejudice, especially that he is out on bail. i'm satisfied a case has been made for the postponement and for that reason the application sought by the state is granted. >> as the court pleases. >> as the court pleases. >> i just want to mention one other thing, the date of the seventh of may is election day but we are pressed for time so we cannot take longer than seven days. mr. dixon, you are still under oath. >> yes, my lady. >> thank you very much. >> we have been listening to the judge there ruling on the adjournment application, they

want two more weeks and she gave them to them. >> so the judge allowed for the apostponement. >> yes, absolutely. it's not really surprising. we have a lot of public holidays coming up so it makes pragmatic sense, and she emphasized they will get ahead of the work schedule and start reviewing what has already become an exceptionally long transcript which they will need to be intimately familiar with every page of that in reaching their decisions in this trial. so they will use this as a work break, and she urged them to use

this time to get ahead of their work schedule. she has the need to expedite the trial and get it finished in the full front of her mind. >> she did mention that so far the record of this trial is more than 2,000 pages and the evidence is very technical and she wants to go through it with two assistants. meantime, this trial does continue. after the gruel examination, there is a perception that he is in trouble, he did more harm than good by taking the stand. what is your take on all this? >> from a legal perspective it is absolutely simply too early to make that determination. what we can know is he did some damage but whether he did more damage than good we are not in a position to assess that yet because it is right at the beginning of the defenses case

and the judge, when she evaluates how pistorius performed on the stand will evaluate that in the context of all the evidence presented. for example, parts of his testimony or performance now that may appear irregular may be subsequently explained put forward from the defense fx so we don't know that yet. we can't make that winners or losers evaluation or the outcome of the trial. >> how can the defense reverse the impact of the prosecution's brutal cross examination, do you think? >> well, we have started getting a view to that with their next expert witness on the stand, so what they're doing is brirnging

the conversation away from some of the confusion of the last five days and bringing it back of physical evidence and core parts that are being contested. for example, one might believe mr. pistorius was evasivevasive inference is he is lying and therefore guilty, one inference is he was cracking under the pressure of cross examination and was confused, so the judge needs to contract his performance with cold hard facts. so what did neighbors hear? the sound of screaming? that is pivotal to the state's case. the case has put forth strong

evidence it was her and the defense are now claiming they have strong evidence to prove that those neighbors must be mistaken, so they have sound tests and their own neb neighbors on the stand and only then can we get a view of the significance of different core points of contention in the state's case. >> and kelly, you were talking in the court, the deaf wfense g through some of the evidence, taking out the magazine rack, i know you are great at getting into the areas we should be careful and where this was all heading, but i'm curious, from south africa's point of view, how is pistorius being seen in the eyes of most people there? >> well the whole of south africa seems to be utterly

gripped by this trial. if you see reviews of social media activity, chat lines on the internet, newspaper editorial discussions, it is a wash with debate on pistorius. while there are polarized views, i think from a public perspective mr. pistorius came out negatively from his time on the stand. one has to separate legal from social perspective and socially people are drawn to the drama of his character where from a littlel he perspective those issues are certainly a difference, as they should be. >> thank you kelly our legal analyst outside the oscar pistorius trial. that trial under way. >> absolutely.

we are going to take a short break and we will continue.

>> welcome back. we're going to update you on the breaking news from south korea. the passenger ferry that sank just hours ago off the coast. >> these numbers have been changing a lot. this is what we are told now, 164 people have been rescued. that is down from what they earlier said. 293 are unaccounted, up from earlier reports. the ship sank and many were forced to jump into dangerously cold waters, most of the passengers were high school students, meantime a u.s. navy ship is heading to the rescue scene and helicopters are dispatched to help with the search. we turn now to the crisis in ukraine which russian president

vladimir putin says is on the brink of civil war, his comments came tuesday. meantime ukraine has launched an anti terrorist protest in the eastern part of the country to restore order in the country. >> leaders are expected to meet in brusels today to discuss the latest developments. >> coming from the russia, ukraine and eu, are coming together, two of the men at the center of the talks could sled light. >> with u.s., russia ties at their frostiest since the cold war, there is some warmth to this relationship.

with john kerry. >> it looks like they have developed a pretty good rapport. they prefer the old school and they do it with grace. >> an old school style which involves talking policy over garden strols. and a willingness to pick up the phone. ukraine is arguably a tougher challenge, pitching power houses against each other. now in ukraine's east. u.s. accusing russian to destabilize the ukrainian state and russia accusing the west of

meddling in their affairs. >> first of all, the president mainly speaks to the russian people. his audience, his constit unsy is the population of the russian federation. the foreign minister talks to his colleagues in other governments. he coaches his phrases in diplomatic speech. he is more formalitiesal in his statements. there is outwardly a difference. in reality i see none. i see no significant daylight between what vladimir putin says and what sir says. >> in ukraine it seems to amount for demands for more federalized
