inexplicable but understandable grief as families in south korea watch body after body return from the sunken ferry. rescuers are still searching for survivors, hope is fading. pictures from the bluefin auv in the hunt for flight 370. this morning the eighth mission underway. ♪ and pope francis giving his easter mass. we'll take you live to vatican city. your "new day" starts now.
3:01 am
good morning, everyone. i'm randi kaye in this morning for christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. happy easter. it is 6:00 on the east coast. it's been a while. >> it's been a while. >> it's good to have you with us. we'll start with what's happening in south korea, the situation for the distraught parents, they're waiting and praying near a harbor in south korea hoping their children will come back to them alive and safe. >> instead, body after body is being brought back to shore today. divers are bringing them back from a sunken ferry. the death toll has risen to 58 from wednesday's disaster. 244 people are still missing, many of them high school students who were on a field trip. >> the grief and frustration here turned into anger. parents tried to march in protest to seoul from jindo at the site of the search operation. you see here they were blocked
3:02 am
by dozens of police. >> and again today divers are combing through the capsized vessel racing against time to find any survivors. nearly three dozen aircraft and more than 200 ships are aiding in the seven. >> passengers on this doomed ferry could not get to the life boats because it was tilting too much. >> cnn's paula hancocks joins us from the port of jindo. good morning to you. divers faced very rough conditions yesterday. how is it there today? >> reporter: well, randi, it was rough yesterday. we had to come in from our fishing boat but today another cnn team on the water said it was a lot calmer and said the divers were able to continue the search throughout the day. that is being reflected in the sad fact this death toll is rising, the fact that bodies are being retrieved from the sewol and they are being brought back here to the harbor. they're being brought back on
3:03 am
stretchers, covered and taken to tents, about 100 meters way from the waterside and what we're seeing, heartbreaking scenes of the grieving families and the desperate families having to go through these tents and try and see if their child or their relative is among those that have been laid out. so very heartbreaking scenes here. we are seeing more bodies coming into the harbor as you say, 58 are now confirmed to have been retrieved from that ship. so it is the case the divers are able to get into other areas they haven't been able to in the past, the fact that the weather conditions are better is conducive to this search and rescue operation but unfortunately at this point, nobody is being found alive. >> paula, those cranes are standing by there in the harbor there, the site. when might those be used? >> well, victor, those cranes are actually out at sea. i saw four of them when i was
3:04 am
out there yesterday, they're around where this sunken ferry is at this point. they're not being used but what we're being told is they may be used soon. this isn't just a practical decision though. officials are saying they are going to make sure that they have the consent of the families. so it's an emotional decision as well as a practical one. the families have to agree that they can be used because effectively when you start to use those cranes and you start to lift the ship up, it's almost like an implicit acceptance that all life has been lost on that ship so this is why authorities are saying that they want to mach sure all the familys agree. of course it is five days since that ship did sink and we haven't seen any survivors come off that ship since wednesday, when it actually sunk. at this point, unfortunately, it's only the deceased that are being retrieved from the very tell self. >> paula, family members of those who have been lost at this point tried to march in protest to seoul. they were blocked by police.
3:05 am
why is that? >> reporter: well, where we are in jindo is actually about a five-hour drive from seoul. this was clearly quite an emotional time for the families. they wanted to feel they were doing something and remember, they are sitting in an auditorium these particular families, sitting and waiting for information. they have some briefings but they are not getting the information that they want. it is incredibly heartbreaking and frustrating for them. this is why this anger is spilling over. there are some families that think authorities have not done enough. they simply weren't quick enough in getting to the ship and anger why more people were not told to evacuate the ship as it was sinking. we are hearing some transcripts between the traffic controllers if you like in jindo in the harbor here and the ship itself. this was about 15 minutes after the first distress signal went out and the person who is on the ship it's unclear who is talking but is basically saying people
3:06 am
could not evacuate because the ship is listing too significantly. >> as you mentioned, paula, now five days since this ship tilted and then capsized, and the funerals have now started, including one for a teacher who lost his life trying to save his students. tell us about this teacher. >> reporter: that's right. this is one teacher who did lose his life on the ship itself, and listening to what some of the students, some of those who actually escaped with their lives were saying about him, they say he basically stayed back so he could try and evacuate as many students as possible. he was helping them evacuate the ship and kept going back, would not get off the ship himself even though he had the chance to escape himself. he wanted to make sure as many of his students as possible could escape. there were something like 300 students, 15 teachers along with those high school students. they were on their way, a field
3:07 am
trip to jeju island, supposed to be a happy occasion. he refused to leave until he could get as many students off as possible. we saw a huge crowd at his funeral, a lot of mourners wanting to pay their respect for a man who here in south korea is being hailed as a hero. >> absolutely. paula hancocks live from jindo, south korea, thank you. we know that more than 500 divers are helping in this search for the missing. >> cnn's will ripley is on a boat just feet from the wreckage off the coast of south korea's jindo island seeing firsthand a very, very sad scene. will? >> reporter: victor, randi, another day of searching in the area where the sewol ferry went down and sadly another day of grim discoveries. we watched as several bodies were pulled out of the water from korea coast guard ships. what's happening is the dive teams have been going out in groups, in teams and they enter in the ferry using five different entry points and they're searching the inside of the boat, the hallways and the cabins and the area outside of
3:08 am
the boat as well. there's also equipment here that will be used for a salvage operation including a large crane that could help pull the boat out of the water, you might see in the distance behind me. that salvage equipment is not being used. is only the divers because the families do not want anything done that could disturb the ship and potentially disturb an air pocket if there's a slim chance somebody may still be alive under there. sadly as we see each new body found it appears this search mission is turning more into a recovery mission but still they're holding out hope. will ripley, cnn, jindo island, korea. for the eighth time, the bluefin 21 drone is underwater in the indian ocean scanning for any trace of ma laysia airlines 370. >> up to 11 planes and 12 ships are in the search today,
3:09 am
focusing on two separate zones that together cover more than 18,000 square miles. >> mother nature not playing along. tropical cyclone is hovering nearby. it won't be a direct hit but it will make for windy, rainy conditions. >> the search will not end there if the bluefin does not come up with anything but the scope will be widened and the use of other assets considered. let's go to perth, australia, home base of the search. >> cnn's miguel marquez rode along with the crew and here's his report. >> reporter: another day, another search, another hope of finding something, any scrap of debris related to malaysian flight 370. >> it's our mission to find it and we want to be the crew that does find it but it takes time. >> reporter: captain tim mcelverey has been everywhere
3:10 am
from the south china seas and now thousands of miles off the coast. >> this is the distance we've flown for two and a half hours from station and climb out now. >> reporter: this new zealand crew in a p3 orioorion, classif system made for hunting and staring at screens at the sea, flying sometimes just 200 feet above the water. the plane's wing span 100 feet. they spot just about everything. >> that's the nature of the game. we're looking for absolutely anything that could possibly be mh370. >> reporter: in the past they've seen four. for example, what's this, a tangled fishing net or tangle of straps from an airplane cargohold. this crew the first to see an item and successfully direct a ship to pluck it from the ocean >> we detected a small red
3:11 am
object we believed to be not more than one meter by one meter. >> reporter: they launched a team, imflatable raft and they had enough fuel to direct them to the object. >> it was a large bred basket, the kind you'd find in a supermarket holding 20 loaves of bread. >> reporter: not from mh370. another frustration. the mission goes on. now that was just one sorties in many hundreds of sorties that have flown across much of the swathe of the oceans. they are so good and dedicated, despite how tedious and monotonous this is, they can pick up birds when there's whitecaps along the ocean. incredible, difficult, time consuming work but they are still out there doing it. the surface searches may end soon but no country wants to
3:12 am
call them off too soon. back to new atlanta. >> it's amazing what they can find. 44 days and nothing. miguel marquez for us in perth, thank you. still to come on "new day," in the ukraine, diplomats push for a peaceful solution. live pictures of pope francis celebrating easter with a message to the faithful in vatican city. we'll take you there. you're watching "new day" sunday. with diabetes, it's tough to keep life balanced. i don't always have time to eat like i should. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes.

and the breaking news, 15 after the hour, reuters is reporting more al qaeda militants have been killed in an air strike in yemen. this is the second one in two days. yesterday at least ten suspected al qaeda operatives were killed on their way to another province, in al bayda province. the suspects were in a pickup
3:16 am
truck when they were hit. yemeni official tells cnn three civilians in another truck were killed, the strikes come days after a video surfaced on the internet showing a huge gathering of suspected al qaeda militants in the same region in yemen. also breaking overnight, a deadly clash on the streets of eastern ukraine between ukraine nationalists and pro-russian protesters. >> there are conflicting reports on the number of those killed near a pro-russian checkpoint. russian state media is reporting at least four, this just one day after a meeting in kiev to hammer out a solution to the crisis showed little sign of progress. >> cnn's frederik pleitgen is live. what is the latest there, fred? >> reporter: hi, victor. of course that incident is what's on top of the agenda. the pro-russian forces are saying it was a clash between
3:17 am
ukrainian nationalists and pro-russians at a checkpoint in the eastern city. however, we've talked to the right wing ukrainian group and they say the people who were involved were certainly not members of their organization. those reports are conflicting. it's unclear what happened. we know at least one person was killed. there's reports of up to four people being killed. that is something still in dispute but also something causing a lot of uneasiness. the kiev county wanted a truce offer the easter holidays which are going on here in the ukraine now and that's something that's not materializing. it's always been a one-sided truce from the get-go and that sheds a dim light on the geneva agreement that was signed on thursday with all those parties involved to try and get some sort of momentum into this, try to deescalate the situation. that clearly isn't something happening. the people who are occupying the buildings in the east of the country have made additional demands saying if they're going
3:18 am
to disarm, they want the government here in kiev to resign and clearly that's not something that's going to happen. so right now it's a very difficult situation on the diplomatic front and clearly also one that remains very difficult and very volatile on the ground in those eastern regions where you have those standoffs, victor. >> fred, we know the u.s. is planning to conduct a series of military exercises in eastern europe, in the coming weeks. what exactly do we know about those so far? >> reporter: you know, they're interesting, randi. exercises are not very big, involved about 150 soldiers, u.s. troops on the ground in both poland and in estonia. while that number is not very small it is significant not just to those countries, to estonia and poland, because they want american presence on the ground as much as possible. they feel if there's american soldiers on the ground it is something that will insulate them from what they perceive to be a russian threat in light of the situation in ukraine but also something that's going to bolster the situation of the government here in kiev.
3:19 am
i was able to speak to the country's prime minister only a couple of days ago. he said any sort of help, any sort of show of help is something that's going to be of service to them and something that's going to help them out in the current situation to at least bolster their situation. the other thing that's very interesting about the military exercises, they're not a one off thing. they're going to keep rotating u.s. forces in and out of those areas and even though it's only a small contingent, it is something being perceived here in ukraine and certainly also in other european eastern countries, poland and estonia, something viewed positively because it is the first time any nato force has bollstered its presence on those borders, randi? >> certainly important to many there. fred pleitgen, thank you very much. i don't know if you heard it, there is a slow moving landslide in wyoming. it's now picking up speed and it's threatening to devour parts of a small hillside town. we've got more of these amazing pictures.

[ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going to have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagine how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 30 years or more. so maybe we need to approach things differently,
3:23 am
crews in northwest wyoming are trying to stabilize a landslide that's devouring one hillside town inch by impl. >> it has doubled in speed and split one home apart, it's about the size of two football fields and is threatening even more homes. >> it's not clear why this is happening but officials say it's
3:24 am
unlikely the ground will collapse like the landslide last month in washington state. >> one of the sherpa guides who survived the single deadliest accident on mt. everest said a big piece of ice suddenly came off the mountain. 13 were killed, three others missing, setting ropes for an upcoming climb. still no decision whether or not it will continue as planned. it is easter sunday, if you are planning an easter egg hunt it looks like for most people the weather will cooperate. >> let's check in with meteorologist karen maginnis. good morning. >> good morning. i hope everyone has a good start to your easter sunday. it will be soggy along the eastern third of the united states, across the southeast and mid-atlantic. temperatures are hovering right around normal. if you're in st. louis, temperatures running 10 to 12 degrees above where it should be this time of year.
3:25 am
minneapolis, 73 degrees but you'll keep the showers in the forecast. the reason we're looking at the soggy skies across the southeast and mid-atlantic is fairly stubborn area of low pressure, if you are headed to the beach, myrtle beach or wilmington or nags head or the outer banks, even into northern florida, there's going to be a rip current. so watch out, very dangerous water conditions there, but if you do head to the beach, you're not going to see much in the way of sunshine. very overcast and rainy with these rainfall totals, five to almost seven inches of rain for the month of april alone, from charlotte to jacksonville, to mobile, alabama, and these amounts are running about three and four degrees or inches above where it should be for this time of year. we're watching a lot of things developing over the next 24 hours, severe storm potential across west central texas. could you see the potential for some large hail, also damaging winds and the potential for tornadoes, and if you are headed
3:26 am
to boston for the marathon, tomorrow starting out should be in the mid-40s, should be a fine day for the marathon. back to you guys. >> so maybe i was wrong. >> just a little bit. >> i have great weather for easter egg hunts, unless you're hiding them in the basement. karen maginnis, thank you. still to come on "new day" the death toll from the south korea ferry accident is rising, as more bodies are being pulled from the sea. >> and right now the drone that's looking for clues about missing flight 370 is in the water again. it's the eighth dive for this grown and so far it's been fruitless. predibut, manufacturings a prettin the united states do. means advanced technology. we learned that technology allows us to be craft oriented. no one's losing their job. there's no beer robot that has suddenly chased them out.

3:31 am
204 ships are still searching in the wreckage today. we'll have more details in a moment. the number two, the vehicle scanning for any trace of malaysia airlines flight 370 is in the water for the eighth time. the bluefin has covered up to half of the area scanned so far. the weather certainly not helping. nearby cyclone is making for windy, rainy conditions. police have identified the body of a massachusetts boy missing since september. authorities say the remains of 5-year-old jeremiah oliver were discovered in a duffel bag off a central massachusetts highway that was on friday. the boy's mother and her boyfriend were indicted last month in connection with the child's disappearance. police are still investigating that cause of death. number four, tens of thousands of people packed the streets of downtown denver yesterday to celebrate the

3:33 am
tilted much too much. the death toll from wednesday's disaster continues to rise. it's now at 58. the search crews brought more than a dozen bodies to shore today as family members watched and wept. >> that toll could go much higher because 244 people are still missing. the captain and two crew members are in custody. investigators reportedly say the third mate was steering the ship through that difficult route for the first time when the vessel capsized. >> hundreds of divers have been back out in the water. they've been able to get into more parts of that sunken ferry. >> so far they've been finding only bodies, no more survivors. we want to bring in bobbi skoli. the scenes are heartbreaking. there are more divers going in, bringing bodies to shore. hopefully they're going to find some survivors still in air pockets of the ship but psychologically, how are these
3:34 am
divers trained? many of the bodies they're bringing in are teenagers. >> it's a very difficult job psychologically. it really is very reminiscent of the twa flight 800 job where we were recovering the victims first and you have to stay focused on the mission. the mission is to go in there, look for survivors first of all, and bring back the victims, if you can't find survivors. you stay focused on the fact that you are doing a mission and you are helping to recover the family members, the victims for those families, and you focus on the safety requirements of your mission. you're going in there, you're doing the job. you don't think about the personal aspects while you're
3:35 am
doing that job because you're doing, you're thinking about what you have to do to safely get in and get out and accomplish the mission and you try not to think about those personal aspects until later. i got to tell you, guys, that personal aspect hits you later, and i know that the korean navy is probably doing the same thing that the u.s. navy does. we make sure that we have the people in place to help those divers afterwards, because it does, it hits you later. you go in and you do the job because you know that you have to do it for those families. >> right, you have to stay focused for the families for sure. as a retired navy captain and a diver, help us understand more what they're facing. they have horrible conditions even oil from that ferry. >> yes. they're diving in what we call hazardous waters, and they have fuel oil, lube oil, all sorts of
3:36 am
things in the water. it's contaminated water at this point. they have a lot of divers on scene but they cannot get all of those divers inside the ship at this point. the divers that they're using inside the ship are going to be the surface supply divers, those are the ones with the hard hats, the yellow helmets and the air hoses. the divers, the scuba divers, the ones you normally think of with the tanks on their backs, those are the divers on the outside of the ship, and quite honestly, if there's contaminated water, the lube oil and fuel oil on the outside, they're probably not using those scuba divers in the contaminated water unless they have special equipment on to do that. the hardhat divers are the ones that are going inside the ship. as the ship slowly sinks down to depth, there are depth limitations for the scuba divers. they cannot go, under normal
3:37 am
circumstances, scuba divers cannot go down below 120 feet. there are special procedures and special equipment to go deeper than that but normal scuba divers cannot. the hardhat divers can go down to 165 feet in regular air breathing rigs. they can go deeper than that with special mix gases. but the hardhat divers can go inside the skin of the ship for a limited amount of time, depending on how deep the ship has settled, if it's down to 100 feet, they can go in for roughly two hours and then they have to decompress for roughly an hour. we're looking at those considerations in addition to the heavy currents. so it's a very complicated situation. >> it certainly sounds that way. bobbie scholley, thank you for your expertise on this. nice to see you. we are headed next to vatican city where 100,000 people have joined pope francis
3:38 am
to celebrate easter, his second easter mass as open, and the royal family steps out in style. they have prince george with them, they're going to the zoo, but when the royal family goes to the zoo, it's not like when you and i go to the zoo. >> look at the picture. do you think they get some royal access? >> they certainly do. we'll show you some more pictures from the trip. i have low testosterone. there, i said it. how did i know? well, i didn't really. see, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive... but when i started losing energy and became moody... that's when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms... then he gave me some blood tests. showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me.

happy easter to our viewers celebrating today, nearly 100,000 christians have gathered in vatican city to celebrate easter with pope francis. >> they march the day they remember the resurrection of their lord and savior jesus christ. it is the second easter season with pope francis at the helm of the church. cnn vatican correspondent delia gallagher is live in rome with more. so what did the pope say this morning in his special easter blessing? >> reporter: victor, the pope gives the erbi et orbi address, which means to the city, to the world. it is after easter mass. he does it twice a year, at easter and at christmas. he goes to the central balcony, where he was when he was elected pope, he came out that evening and his message today was quite
3:43 am
simple. it was go out and be near the needy. leave yourselves behind, he said, and go out and be with the ill, with the elderly, with the homeless, and this is a message that we've seen the pope himself do. on thursday he went to a home for the disabled where he washed and kissed the feet of 12 people there, and on friday, when he was at the colosseum for the stations of the cross in the beautiful candlelit ceremony, he instructed one of his priests involved with a discretionary fund of the pope, the pope has some money that he can give at his discretion and told his priests to go to the train stations in rome and hand out nfls to the homeless and inside those nfls was a card with a special message from the pope and bills, 20 or 50 euro bills. this is his main message to people today. don't wait for people to come and ask you for help. go out and help them yourselves. of course there was also a message of peace in countries that are in conflict throughout the world.
3:44 am
the pope mentioned in particular syria, ukraine, he mentioned venezuela, special prayer for peaceful negotiations between israel and palestine and countries in africa who are suffering from disease and poverty. victor? >> and delia, we know this pope is certainly a bit unpredictable. he's known for going off script as well. anything out of the ordinary today? >> reporter: today, randi, was fairly scripted. it's a formal easter mass and also the culmination of quite a long week for this pope. so he did follow the script today, also because he had to keep within certain time limits but we're all anticipating the connonization of two popes. he wanted to put in onxxiii so he fast tracked him without the second miracle and said let's make him a saint as well. so that's the next big event, next sunday, anticipating upwards of 1 million people coming to rome to are that.

the bluefin 21 has scanned about half of the area where pings were detected, that could be from the black boxes of the missing boeing 777. >> cnn aviation analyst mary schiavo joins us now. there is a cyclone near the search area. i wonder how much of an effect is the weather going to have on today's search? >> well, it will affect the ability to search. it won't affect the bluefin underwater, deploying other assets or once they get the bluefin out, putting it back down again it could affect that because it may not be safe for the ships. once underwater the bluefin can perform just fine. it shouldn't affect it too much. more likely it will affect the plans for searches after this mission and after the blue fin completes its search underwater today. >> so mary, we know that the pinger batteries are likely long dead. there's been no debris that's been reportedly seen. however, the transportation minister, malaysian transportation minister called
3:50 am
this weekend a critical juncture. why is this weekend so critical? >> because they anticipate the bluefin, the underwater autonomous vehicle finishing its initial assignment, its initial job of mapping the floor of the immediate area around the four pings, from believed to be from the black boxes. and then once that's done, which is should finish up within the week, then both the australian joint task force and the malaysians have said they need to get together and decide what they're going to do next. most likely it will involve deploying a lot more assets, sonar, and other vehicles to search a wider area than what was originally thought necessary. they were hoping to find it right around the area of the four pings, if that doesn't turn out to be the case, they're going to need much more. >> and speaking of much more, the malaysian transportation minister says the search won't end if the bluefin comes up empty. you mentioned the towed pinger

locator which is what they used before to narrow down the area. what else could they send down? >> i was told sonar, they could use additional sonar vehicles. they can use other vehicles that can go deeper than the bluefin 21, and that may be necessary. there are vehicles manned they can send down and talk again about using submarines, the submarine, just unmanned submarines. i think the next step is the towed sonar and underwater vehicles like those used on the air france search and roarry. >> considering the lack of any debris, as much as a carry-on, a floating seat, or any more of these pings and finding the black boxes, when you look at the calculations using inmarsat, do you believe they're searching in the right area? >> i believe they're searching in the only area they know in
3:52 am
which to search. whether this will turn out to be the right one or if they have to expand it, time will tell. the lack of wreckage material in that area doesn't surprise me because it was so long before they got to that area. wreckage floats away i won't say in a hurry but with the currents it can move 50 miles a day. they didn't get there for a couple of weeks. there were lots of false starts, first it was in the south china sea and they were certaining for where it went next. what concerns me is the bluefin is down on its eighth mission taken hasn't seen a thing and searching in the area of the pings that were located with the towed ping locator. so with those being the most promising leads and those certain areas quickly coming to an end, the next step is, i would say the critical part because they're going to have to decide where to look next, expand the current area or go further south or north. >> we saw what happened there with the air france 47 two years
3:53 am
later this he found the wreckage. i guess we'll remain hopeful on this one. mary schiavo thank you very much. >> thanks, mary. there's this other massive search operation happening now, this one off south korea's coast. divers are combing through a sunken ferry and this morning we're getting more answers about why more life boats were not used.

there i think something like 40 or 50 degrees, so maybe in the mid-50s apparently. >> from what i hear it's weather for running. runners tell me. i don't run. >> i admit, i would not know either but i know a lot of folks are psyched to show off their boston strong and good luck to everyone in the race tomorrow. prince george is becoming quite the world traveler. he's almost 9 months old, almost. >> a trip to sydney wouldn't be complete without a visit to the city's world famous zoo and prince george was front and center to see it there for all the action. >> cnn royal correspondent max foster joins us live from sydney and it appears that this is so well orchestrated, this introduction of prince george to the world, at least that's how it appears. you tell us, max. >> reporter: yes. we've had to come half way around the world to get his first official engagements. one of them was a play date in
3:58 am
new zealand, and then we had the other one today in australia. it was a glorious day. the zoo is stunning overlooking the whole harbor and prince george went along. on the face of it these pictures look like a family on a zoo outing. of course it's not an ordinary family. prince george goes into an enclosure to meet a bilby named after prince george. the enclosure was named after prince george, the engagement lasted less than half an hour but these are the early stages of his royal career. he might be only 8 months old but these pictures we'll see again and again and again and he seemed to enjoy his moment in the limelight. he was given a public tour and got excited and threw it away. he's normal in that sense. >> what else does the family have lined up for the trip? >> well, after that, actually

>> max foster, thank you very much. that was quite entertaining and thank you for starting your morning with us. >> we have much more ahead on your next hour of "new day" starts right now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com > good morning, everyone. i'm randi kaye. >> this is "new day" sunday. first up, heartbreak, anger, grief in south korea today as the search of a capsized ferry brings up only bodies, no survivors. >> the death toll now stands at 58 from wednesday's disaster. boats have been bringing the bodies to shore. 244 people still missing, many of them as you know were students from the same high school. >> these are the family members here, they tried to march to
4:01 am
seoul from jindo, the site of the search operation. they're frustrated over the search efforts and the information they're getting. could you see here that they were blocked by police, so that march did not happen. >> and again today, divers are going back into the water, racing against dwindling time to find any survivors. nearly three dozen planes, more than 200 ships are aiding in that search. >> and we're also learning more this morning about why hundreds of passengers on a doomed ferry could not get to those life boats. >> cnn's paula hancocks joins us from the port city of join dough in south korea. paula, first tell us some new radio transcripts. we know have just been released from the moments the ship began to sink, began to list. they're pretty harrowing, aren't they? >> reporter: that's right, and part of the transcripts which we're focusing on happened about ten past 9:00 in the morning, bearing in mind the first
4:02 am
distress signal went out 8:55. 15 minutes later the traffic controllers are asking the person on the ship how are the passengers, and asking if they can be evacuated, but the person who is communicating from the ship is not clear who it is at this point is saying that the ship is listing too much and it is difficult to move. so of course there has been a lot of controversy about the fact that the passengers were not told to evacuate. they were told do not move. it's more dangerous if you move and parents are asking why their children were told not to evacuate a sinking ship. this is showing within just 15 minutes the person in control in the sewol was saying it is too difficult to move. the ship did start listing quite significantly, quickly. it took around about two hours to sink completely although part of it was still above the surface of the water but judging from these transcripts it may have been fairly quick, the listing and the difficulty to get out of that ship happened.
4:03 am
>> do you know, paula, when those cranes that are near the site of this ship will be used? >> reporter: it's not clear at this point. it's not just a practical decision as to when you involve these cranes because basically what they'll be doing is hooking up to the ship and lifting the ship higher as it is sinking to the bottom of the sea at this point, lifting it higher so divers can get inside or even towing it to shore. it's not just a practical decision, because the families have to be involved. this is what officials are telling us they want the consent of the families if if you start moving the ship, then it is really an implicit acceptance that all life has been lost on that ship, and any potential air pockets which many of these parents are hoping is the case is simply not the case. so they're saying that if the cranes are involved, does that then mean there's no longer a search and rescue operation, this is simply a search
4:04 am
operation, so that will be a very difficult day to make that decision, when the parents have to accept that they believe that all life has been lost >> those parents as we can see from that video are not willing to accept that today, now day five. paula han cox on jindo island, south korea. a drone strike in yemen has killed at least four al qaeda militants including senior leaders. this is the second one in two days. yesterday at least ten suspected al qaeda operative were killed in al bayda province. officials say the suspects were in a pickup truck when they were hit and the strikes come days after this video surfaced showing a huge gathering of suspected al qaeda militants in the same region in yemen. more violence on the streets of eastern ukraine.
4:05 am
this morning an attack near a pro-russian checkpoint turned deadly. there are conflicting reports on the number of people killed but russian state media is reporting at least four. >> this is all happening as pro-russian militants refuse to lay down their arms following an international order to vacate public buildings. cnn's frederik pleitgen is live in kiev. kind of clear up, if you can, this conflict between reports that the right sector, this right wing group was involved in this mission by the pro-russian groups in eastern ukraine. >> hi, victor. we've been in contact with the right wing group, called the right sector and they say it's not true that any of their members were involved in that incident. we've also been in touch with the interim government here in kiev, and they say they believe that what happened there in the east of the country at that checkpoint is a provocation by the russians. they say they believe the russians are looking for some
4:06 am
sort of pretext to invade eastern ukraine. of course that really ratchets up the rhetoric again after it looked over the past couple of days things might be warming down. clearly the agreement reached in they gee va on thursday is something that while it might not yet be falling apart is certainly in a lot of trouble. the government in kiev for its part has been trying to calm the situation down over the easter holidays that are currently going on, calling for a unilateral truth, saying their anti-terror operation will be put on hold over the easter holiday. clearly you see from the shooting incident there is a volatile situation, things clearly are not calm in that area. the pro-russians are saying a right wing nationalist group was involved in that shooting incident but again, both the government here in kiev as well as that group itself says no members from any ultranationalists groups were involved in that incident. they are still trying to get a hold of the facts. there is a lot of confusion as
4:07 am
to what exactly happened there overnight. >> fred, maybe could you help us understand more, too, about these planned military exercises, the u.s. is planning to conduct them, a series of them in eastern europe in the coming weeks. what do we know about them? >> i think it's very important, this is a series of military exercises, going to start off with about 150 u.s. troops going into poland, 150 also going into estonia. those are two vital countries in all of this. they are two countries close to nato and close to the u.s. poland has wanted a stronger u.s. presence and a longer term u.s. presence on its soil for a very long time. it's a very close ally of the u.s. it's been buying a lot of u.s. military gear and clearly the people there, the government there are very worried about what's going on in ukraine right now. they feel threatened by the russians and have for a very long time. any presence on the u.s., of u.s. forces on the ground there is going to do a lot to calm them down and also going to
4:08 am
bolster the government here in kiev. they say anything that nato does, anything that the u.s. does is of help, no matter how small it is. 150 soldiers in those two places might not sound like very much but it is certainly something that will bolster the confidence of the government here in kiev, of the one in warsaw as well, randi. >> fred pleitgen, thank you very much for clearing all of that up for us. after coming up empty seven times, the drone scanning the ocean floor for flight 370 is now in the water again. look at the bluefin 21's progress coming up. parents of hundreds of children missing from that capsized ferry face off with police. you think you take off all your make-up before bed. but do you really?

4:12 am
take a look here, there's an animation of the bluefin 21 sub which just finished its seventh mission scanning the ocean floor searching for missing malaysia flight 370. lot of the area it is scan something truly uncharted territory >> it turns out what little we do know of the area could help searchers. christina simons who worked with james cameron the deep sea challenge spoke to cnn yesterday about this area. >> well, so this is a bathymetric map of the sea floor. on land we'd call it a topographic map. the zenith plateau indicated by the red box stands about a mile and a half, two miles above the surrounding sea floor and they're operating just on the north slope. the red box indicates an area
4:13 am
about equal to 100 square miles, so give you some sense for what they've about completed surveying. so it's a large area. this isn't a very detailed map so we can't account for small changes and rocky surfaces, but our best guess is that it's covered with sediment which is good for trying to find a debris field or manmade object on the sea floor. >> the bluefin 21, vehicles scanning for any trace of malaysia airlines flight 370 is in the water now for the eighth time, up to 11 military planes, 12 ships are also in on the search today. >> but the weather, that's the problem. it's certainly not helping. nearby cyclone is making for some windy and rainy conditions. cnn's miguel marquez rode along with the crew that's played an integral role in the surface search and here is his report. >> reporter: another day, another search, another hope of finding something, any scrap of debris related to malaysian flight 370.
4:14 am
>> it's our mission to find it. we want to be the crew that does find it but it takes time. >> reporter: captain tim mcelvery has been everywhere from the south china sea to the straits of malacca and now here, 1,000 miles off the australian coast. >> it's roughly analogous to canadian border to mexican border is the distance we've flown for two and a half hours on station and then climb out now. >> reporter: this new zealand crew in a p oh ryeon, classic and sophisticated equipment, flying at times just 200 feet above the water. the plane's wing span 100 feet. they spot just about everything. >> that's the nature of the game. we're looking for absolutely anything that could possibly be mh370. >> reporter: in past sorties, they've seen more. examples, what's this? a tangled fishing net or a
4:15 am
tangle of straps from an airplane cargohold? this crew so far the ohm one successful to see an item and successfully pluck it from the ocean. >> we detected a small red object we believed to be not more than one meter by one meter. >> reporter: the australian ship "perth" launched an inflatable raft, they had enough fuel to stay on the scene and direct them to the object. >> it was a large bread basket or bread tray the kind you'd find in a supermarket holding 20 loaves of bread. >> reporter: not from mh370. another frustration. the mission goes on. >> and miguel joins us live from perth, australia. do we have any sense of how this search is going? >> reporter: well, it's certainly not stopping any nim soon at least under the ocean. the surface search has been said that it will stop soon, but i
4:16 am
don't think any country wants to back out of that. the bluefin 21 continues in concentric circles, something along those lines, covering that area of about 200 square miles of the ocean floor there, a little over half way through that now in this eighth search, we'll find out how much of that they got through as well, they are moving toward the most likely point of the area, where the strongest ping came back from, back on april 8th. randi? >> miguel marquez, thank you very much. still to come on "new day" as searchers find more bodies in the capsized ferry in south korea, families of the missing hope and pray as they wait for word on their loved ones. but first, you know him from "the biggest loser." >> this morning he's on sanjay gupta coming up at 7:30 eastern time. good morning, sanjay. >> randi and victor, i'm excited to have "biggest loser" trainer bob harper back on the program. he has a book full of recipes

heartbreak and grief boiling over into anger in south korea. dozens of relatives of passengers missing from that capsized ferry confronted police. >> they were trying to march to seoul from the port city of jindo to protest at the south korean president's official residence. they're frustrated that the search efforts and the information they're getting. they say they want to tell the president about this situation, and as you can see here, they were blocked by police. >> it is just heartbreaking. the grief those parents are going through is unimaginable. >> and the threat of suicide there is very real. kyung lah explains from jindo, south korea. >> reporter: it defies the
4:21 am
natural order, a parent whose child may have died first. hundreds of parents now face the unthinkable. some so grief-stricken they refuse to eat, connected to ivs. many, like this couple, whose son is missing, expressing this common sentiment among the parents. "i don't want to live." "if it i don't have my younger child, i want to jump in the sea," she says, "think being my child in the sea, how can i, as a parent, eat or drink? i hate myself for this." that's not an idle threat say counselors who are stationed where parents wait for news. the mental health workers are unfortunately not busy.

4:23 am
unwillingness to accept failure, a culture where shame carries a heavy burden, to simple societal acceptance, whatever the cause, with so many parents screaming this at jindo, "how are we going to live now?" she screams. country braces for the fallout of an already breaking disaster. kyung lah, cnn, jindo, south korea. in south korea, families usually have just one or two children. >> that is the reason this tragedy makes it so much harder for them to bear. listen to what one expert had to say. >> in south korea, you have one of the lowest birth rates in the industrialized world. only 1.2 children per woman, so that is very low and that means that many families only have one child, possibly two. and secondly, a tremendous amount is put into their upbringing. some 55% of household income goes to their education.
4:24 am
so the parents give everything during that period, and it's just so tragic to lose all of these young students perhaps it will be 300 individuals and just terrible time. >> still to come on "new day," a 50-foot sink hole opens up in florida. >> but filling it, is filling it with cement and sand enough to stop it from swallowing two homes? first for you tennis fans you know the frustration of determining was the ball in or was it out. >> pat cash looks at something called hawkeye that puts all that doubt to bed. >> it's an invention that's been embraced by tennis players worldwide, known for its pinpoint accuracy and cutting edge technology. alison mar leads a group who work around the clock to make sure the technology is place long before roger, rafa or
