here. but obviously it's deceiving. >> six times the size of manhattan and it's a waiting game. it could take a year to disappear. they are keeping an eye on that in view from space remarkable. >> that does good evening, i'm bill weir. thank you for joining us on "cnn tonight." day after day, the families of flight 370 have met with officials and demanded answers, tonight they are furious. tonight, i will talk to sarah bajc, her partner, philip wood, on board flight 370. she said it is like a bad comedy routine. we'll get a bluefin status report and examine the possibilities if the swimming robot keeps coming up empty. meanwhile, staring off the sea in south korea, waiting for the worst kind of reunion. we'll have word on the news of the sunken ferry, many people waiting after the disaster.

and in eastern europe, accusations are flying after a ukrainian politician is found tortured and killed. u.s. paratroopers are on the way to the region for expanded military exercises. i'll ask two top generals, what do you do about a man named vladimir putin. and teaching about security, handing out an allowance doesn't help. such is the wisdom of dave ramsey, here tonight to give us the fundamentals of smart money. there are five things to do to get your kids through college without borrowing a dime. and in perth, australia, where ten planes and ten ships are heading out to search for flight 370. and the weather that could get dicey. cnn's michael holmes, live. good morning to you, michael. what is the latest?

>> reporter: yeah, that is right, bill, the search is done right now. 80% covered and single nothing found. no sign of mh-370. no word on the data results from the latest mission, but the previous nine of course turned up nothing, bill. >> and talk to metro about the weather. we heard there were reports of a typhoon, is that still threatening? >> reporter: yeah, this is a cyclone jack, hurricane jack you would call it in the u.s. it is breaking up and dissipating. but it is having an impact. it is going to have eight and a half meter swells out there. low clouds and visibility down to less than a mile. so that will impact things. last we heard, the planes and ships still looking for surface debris. but the weather is not helping as if they needed something else to help search.

>> and we understand they're mapping out sort of broader strategies for the long run, what do you know about that? >> reporter: yeah, because they're not going to give up, even if this focused area turns up nothing. the malaysians have made it clear this search won't stop. so there are discussions between the australians and malaysians on who would handle the debris if it is found. there is also the very delicate issue of human remains, what happens going forward. and there is the issue of deploying resources, what to bring in if the search area does widen. and that could be the chance. we talked about that arc, about 300 by 30 miles, it could be the focus of any new search. with 80% of that focused area, the one that they had the best shot at, they felt, that is not going to do confidence any good, bill. >> all right, michael holmes in perth. and as that search goes on, the emotional toll just wears on the 239 on board, their loved ones,

and sarah bajc's loved one was on board. and he is kind enough to check in tonight via skype. thank you for joining us tonight. sarah, i want to get to you describing these briefings, these bad comedy in so many words. but pralad, what are your thoughts on the search? what have these 47 days been like for you? and what do you make of the efforts so far? >> every day, my son, every day he comes and asks, papa, what is new? is there any new news? and my youngest son is settlement. he is not saying a single word, i don't know what to tell them. do you tell them she is dead or coming back. i have no courage to tell them what to tell them because i don't know.

and the malaysian government has not said anything. there is no evidence of any solid data. we don't know, we are in limbo. >> have you been in contact with the other families? is there a sense of unity where everybody is on the same page? >> yes, we are in contact with families from china, we're coordinating the group on facebook. and also helping to get in touch with media. and also, i am in contact with families in india. we are just three families here. >> sarah, i understand that lawyers are starting to come out of the wood work and approach the families, what is your reaction to that? >> well, the chasing of the lawyers actually started at the very beginning. mostly, even at the orange site.

fortunately, most of the terrible ones have kind of gone away. and now we've begun the effort to try to seek out positive legal representation. it makes it very complicated though, because you have people in china and malaysia and australia and the united states and india and france. and we all have different kinds of requirements that we operate underneath. not everybody has the same rights under international law. and that is actually a terrible, terrible shame. so as a group, we as the family unit are trying to come together to make sure everyone's interests are protected. >> you describe these briefings as a comedy routine. what do you mean? >> well, it is just the same thing over and over. they say they're going to send technical experts. and then just a mouthpiece shows up. they can't ever answer a question. they never give any information. so why keep bringing the families through that point of

crisis? it doesn't make any sense. you know, there is a very interesting saying. it says the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expect a different result. and i think we're in an insane situation right now. >> pralhad, do you think they're looking in the right place? >> no, from day one when they say they will use some special type of method to analyze data. and my son said nothing is special there. and from that day we do not believe they are looking in the right place. and because also, they have not come up with any theories or transparency. they have not shared any data with us. and i asked many times these questions, from the malaysian authorities based on what exactly did you decide that the plane has crashed in the south

indian sea? and they have not come up with any answer. they said wait, and wait and wait. and we have not been given any new solid information for the last 46 days, unfortunately. >> sarah, have you tried approaching the australians? have they been more cooperative? >> we have not had any access directly to the australians. to the australian government. of course, we have a number of australian families who have engaged with our family association. but that is something that we might try next. but ultimately, you know, they're only interpreting things that they have been given, too. none of us to the best of my knowledge have had a complete view into all of the factual evidence that is indeed available in this case. it just has not been shared. >> it has not been shared. and sarah, i just wonder about your emotional stage. you were posting on facebook some of the poignant and beautiful sentiments to philip.

are you still doing that? how -- what is your coping mechanism as you go through? >> i still write to philip every day. i don't actually post all of them. partly because i'm just frankly so swamped from a scheduling perspective. i'm continuing to work fulltime as a teacher and then have all of these activities. so you know, four or five hours of sleep a night is about all i'm getting. but you know, emotions are a powerful thing, they can crush us if we let them but they can also give us a sense of power if we let them, as well. so i think the general consensus from most of the families is we've gotten angry now, we feel we have been lied to. and the anger is allowing us to focus our energies now. >> well, sarah as you continue your vigil for philip, and pralad, thank you so much for sharing your stories tonight.

and joining me now, david souci, the author of "why planes crash" also, mary schiavo, the attorney for victims of accidents. let me ask you a question, mary, i guess 45 days, is that the legal limit to which lawyers can approach these families? sarah says the bad ones have been coming at her from day one. how do you think that will change the prospects for these desperate folks? >> well, yes, he is right. what happens is some follow the rules and some don't. with the national transportation safety board -- >> mary, i'm sorry, let me stop you, we're just having trouble hearing your mike. it sounds like it slipped from your lapel, if you want to reset that, i'll come back to you in a second, but david let's talk about the search. you believe they're in the right area, based on those pingers

from april 9th it seems so long ago. it is just a matter of finding it, right? >> it does, sarah was talking earlier about no credible evidence and they have been lied to. and i certainly appreciate her sentiment at that. the one thing that i'm hanging onto and i'm confident about is those pings came from a pinger, i don't see any other thing that this could be. it has not been disputed logically by anyone else to me. i believe they're in the right area. there are things that bother me about the fact they're talking about retracting from that area, after they finish the six mile circle. remember, the aircraft is designed with a 9-1 glide ratio in the air. if you think about it in terms of under water if the wings were able to stay on the aircraft when it went under water, the aircraft could be literally tens of miles away from where the

pinger is located. so the concern of mines that they abandon this small area and then go to this big huge area and they miss the opportunity to stay within that and just simply increase the radius around where the pingers were located. because i'm confident that is where the plane is. >> a little different dynamics, but point taken. mary, day 45 at least with u.s. lawyers that is a grim benchmark to when they can approach victim's families. what do you think about their prospect's now. >> well, yeah, the law is applicable to u.s. lawyers and no matter where they work. and it just basically bans them from direct solicitation, it doesn't open the magic door where suits can be filed on day 46. you still need a reasonable good faith basis, translation, evidence to file a case.

so what will happen now is lawyers will start to approach the families asking if they want to sign up, et cetera. to bring a suit, lots of people talking about boeing, to bring a suit against boeing you're going to have to get some evidence. the airline is going to be automatically liable because they cannot show that they are not. the burden is on the airline, basically to show that. so the airline is going to be liable automatically. you will need a death certificate probably to start that process. but boeing is going to take evidence along with other manufacturers and component manufacturers on the plane. that is going to have to wait. >> all right schiavo, david souci, we'll go live to the ferry with passengers and the search. and also, a road map on how to get your kid through college, debt-free.

we're getting word now that divers searching the third and fourth floors of the sunken ferry off the coast of south korea today have found bodies on the fourth floor, visibility so poor in this area they say they can't see their own hand waving in front of their face, and meanwhile, on shore desperate families waiting a week after that ferry ship sank. cnn's kyung lah is live once again for us on a boat off jindo, south korea, in the yellow sea. tonight, tell us the very latest on the rescue. i guess it is mostly recovery efforts now, right? >> reporter: yeah, they're not using that word yet, though, because of the high emotions of who the people are who are waiting onshore, that being the parents and the victims being just children. in many cases they're only children. i have a little more information that we're getting from the authorities here, as well, bill. we are just learning that they

have gotten into the cafeteria. it was morningtime, the assumption was that many of the people would have been eating breakfast in the cafeteria. there were no bodies there. we don't know what that means. we just know what that means, there are no bodies there, they don't know where everybody else is. it is going to take quite a bit of time to go through the entire vessel. and just to give you the idea of the active search, you can see that what we're in the middle of here is an oil slick. the authorities had been telling us that the ferry was releasing oil intermittently, that is the source of the oil, 65 feet is where the vessel has sunk to the ground. there is a buoy there in the center of your screen, off-white, very difficult to make out. but that is where it marks the spot of where divers are going

to be beginning to go down. the divers are working in incredible shifts. they have the orange floats that take them back and forth to the ships. bill, you mentioned you can't see anything more than a foot in front of your face, that makes it very difficult with a cruise ship and the number of floating items in there. so very dangerous, bill. >> we spent time talking about things that went wrong. the sort of malpractice of the crew, the captain in particular, many of them in custody, but we missed the story of heroism. tell me about park ge on. >> reporter: she is really someone who has inspired the word, "good samaritan." that phrase "good samaritan." and a bright spot in the crew that is really being lambasted in our country.

what she did in numerous eyewitness accounts. she didn't have a life jacket, she was not wearing one, when somebody asked why, she said passengers first, crew last. that is the sort of behavior that people expect of a captain, did not get it. so what we see here is a lot of pain and rage that this young woman who is so special and beloved in this country now that she appears to be so rare in this crew. >> she did not survive, she was buried with honors and respect, justifiably so thank you. >> mario vitton is a helicopter rescue swimmer. gentlemen, thank you for joining us. mario, let's talk about the difference between rescue and recovery as kyung said, they're trying to keep the spirits up of the parents waiting onshore. but there is a real danger

there, isn't there? >> well, there is, and i think given the operational tempo of the divers she mentioned, and the enormous pressure to do that work, it is going to be very important to do that work. they need to start calling it recovery. the fatigue they're under, the pressure they're under. because on a long enough time line, now we're going to talk about hurt or worse divers. so they're going to have to soon decide to say yes, it is a recovery. and that will change the way they approach it. and i think it is time for that to happen. >> help us understand what the divers are going through right now. just the currents there, the water temperature. the visibility. how difficult is their task? >> well, difficult is one thing, it is just extremely dangerous. they're basically cave diving in an unknown cave without visibility, which is as hazardous as a diving operation as you can imagine.

again they will do it, again under pressure, nobody wants to find anybody, but i know the way these people think and they want to find somebody alive. and they wanted that more than anybody. and they're not going to give up until they're told to stand down and be careful. and i think that needs to happen next. >> mitchell, the costa concordia happened when? >> january 12th, 2012. >> you would think that would be a cautionary tale for the maritime industry, but you see striking parallels. >> even the search and rescue operation that is being described right now is eerily similar, when the costa concordia sank, you had the family members wondering what happened to their relatives. and divers going in with the ropes, they called it the thread after the mythological character, and the divers that

are saving people, rescuing people, at the worse case scenario finding drowning victims swimming in bathing suits. in this instance, you're finding people wearing life jackets because they were prepared to get off ship and never got off the ship, because of errors, made by the crew and captain and the life boats that failed to launch. with the costa concordia, very similar. the ship began to list. what happens, when a ship begins to list, there are inclines, the life boats that are supposed to drop down can't drop down because they get stuck on the side. and in both scenarios you had distress calls coming from the passengers, in the korean ferry -- >> a boy on his phone. >> i dealt with family members in the costa concordia case

where they had calls from relatives saying they're going to see some nasty things in the papers, don't worry, i'm going to get home and they never made it home. >> real quick, mario, do you think the captain of the ship has been demonized unfairly? >> well, i'm not sure about unfairly. i think there is a mistake in making that kind of mistake a behavior. here is what you know about the captain two weeks ago, hey, what would you do if it was listing, he would have told you then i would get everybody in life jackets, a year ago he talked about the costa concordia saying i would never do that. still, when this faced him he didn't do it. there is a disconnect, and i think the maritime industry needs to adopt some of the aviation industry's practice in practicing under stress, in practicing how do i react when things are really bad? because if he did drill on life abandoned ships, he would be okay, let's do the abandoned

ship station, that is not how it happens in real life. and those drills need to happen that way and that is what is missing. that doesn't necessarily make him the devil, that makes him human. we haven't trained that out of him like other industries like the military and aviation. >> you can see you shaking your head. please come back, i'm sure the story wouldn't go away. >> when we come back, a crisis of a very different kind. what is happening in eastern europe? president obama sending paratroopers just across the ukraine. will that get vladimir putin's attention? i'll ask two generals next. and we'll be here at lifelock doing our thing: you do your shop from anywhere thing, offering protection that simple credit score monitoring can't. get lifelock protection and live life free.

welcome back to cnn tonight, i'm bill weir. and it was another day of sobering news out of ukraine where armed and masked pro-russian militias were supposed to give back the buildings they have occupied after an easter truce happened in geneva last week, but it never happened. take a look here, it shows a man who appears to be a local politician attempting to enter city hall and attempting to re-raise the ukrainian flag. instead, he was roughly turned away, and now they claimed lifeless body was found showing signs of torture. more from kiev. fred, this was one of two bodies they say was found. what is the story?

>> reporter: well, yeah, these bodies apparently, bill, were found in a river near the town of sloviansk, where they say these bodies were found tortured. that is a situation that escalated in ukraine further. the other thing that happened is pro-russian forces took over another police station in the east of the country, that brings the towns in the east of ukraine where these pro-russian protesters have taken over the government building. the fire was apparently opened on a surveillance plane of the ukrainian air force that was flying over one of these towns. apparently, the plane sustained bullet holes, and now that is causing the government to say they're going to re-launch a terror operation, they say they want to send military units into that area. it is not clear or how harsh the military units were going to be to go in and get the protesters

out. at the same time, you have the russian army, or large parts of the russian army on the side of the ukrainian border at any time poised to invade ukraine. >> last time they sent troops in there they ended up handing over keys to the personnel and watching these guys do donuts in the middle of the street. >> now, let's bring in two men who know more about military maneuvers than just about anything. former commanding general, and general mark kimmett, former assistant secretary of state for political affairs. general kimmett, let's talk to you about this story. you were pretty adamant in your belief that american troops should be going in to answer this aggression. do you stand by that? >> well, i do, i don't say we should be answering the aggression, we should make a

stance so that if president putin, who not only is facing the sovereignty of ukraine, but the american allies and their future. >> don't you have fears of escalation? >> well, i have more fears of current escalation. we see the provocation on the ground that could push putin to do that, taking more than three or five days to complete. at that point he has brought ukraine back into the russian orbit. >> general marks, do you agree with it? >> well, i agree with mark. russia has invaded ukraine, russia has been annexed, and what we see has been instigated and carried out by russian forces. so the invasion in ukraine that

has been going on, what is important is the united states has to demonstrate resolve. i don't think it is time for the united states to put forces or boots on the ground. but we can increase our presence in the black sea, all nato members can increase air force presence and exercises on the ground in europe. but i think it is also important for a very strong message to be made to putin right now that says look, you have complete authority to have this exercise, if you will, north of the ukrainian border in your sovereign territory. but it is a strategic message that you're sending that is completely destabilizing. if he could disarm those guys and get those forces to pull back that would be a good first move so that we could deescalate. and then the ukrainians can move forward on what is taking place. >> and joe biden was there, announcing a $50 million aid

package, $11 million for the upcoming elections to help with that. but also the idea of paratroopers, coming into estonia, and other parts. is this a measure of help? >> well, it is symbolic. i'm worried that we're willing to put american troops in the nato territories, but not willing to put troops into the friendly territories such as ukraine. we made that mistake in the '50s that we said we would defend up to the waters and the russians interpreted that to mean we would give up south korea. and as a result, the russians and chinese invaded korea. so to the effect we say we'll protect latvia, what it says is we wouldn't protect ukraine.

>> and another story, general marks, we're just getting more details on the yemeni special forces against the al-qaeda jamboree. i saw the youtube video, and it looks like special forces piloted the helicopter that flew yemeni commandos to the raid on that al-qaeda stronghold. we talked about the video last week and what the response would be to this. what are your thoughts on this, what seems like a successful operation? >> well, the reports that we've gotten in the open source are certainly very successful. the fact that there were yemeni commandos that were on the ground, number one, they were trained. number two, available, number three to be inserted. and if the united states did the insertion what that tells you is they were trying to get their hands on key leaders so they could bring them back and exploit them.

in addition to the drone strikes that took place and were intended to kill some key leaders, as well. i think this is a great sign. clearly, barbara has great reporting and access, i would certainly give her reporting credit. and it was a great success. >> thank you both for your expertise. when we come back he is one of america's favorite money gurus, dave ramsey, and his daughter, the one who he raised to be equally brilliant with a dollar. one hint for raising your kids. no more allowances. how your little ones can achieve financial peace and take care of you in your elder years, when we come back. good to see you, dave. come on over.

but as this guru practices what he preaches, he is here with his beautiful daughter, rachel cruz. and his first book together is smart money, smart kids. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> i've always listened to you, but when she was born you went bankrupt. >> yeah, the year she was born we hit bottom. we started with nothing, my wife, sharon, and i, just clawed and found our way up. i ended up with about $4 million worth, by the time i was 26 years old. i was her age, we borrowed too much money, it got sold to another bank, we spent the next two and a half years of our life pulling out. >> that was a come to jesus moment, and financially and religiously. using biblical principles.

what is your first memory of money as a thing. >> sure, well, early moments of going to consignment sales, not going out to eat, staying at home and hearing the word no, a lot. that is probably where money became a thing, no, we're not going out to eat or buying this. we learned early on money is finite. >> a little discipline. >> yeah, exactly. >> this is a parenting book disguised as a money book. and because you later say we don't have a debt crisis, we have a parenting crisis, and talks about limitations. so i have a 10-year-old, she gets an allowance. but that is not good. you say. an allowance sends the wrong expectation. >> i just don't like the word. allowance kind of sounds like you're not going to do enough, so i have to do it for you. it sounds like welfare, but instead we called it commission, you work, get paid, don't work,

don't get paid. i know 54-year-olds that don't know that. >> that is the basic. >> and for us we learned that money comes from work and not from mom and dad's back pocket. by doing that with your kids they do associate work and money. >> and so early on when she was little you take the one dollar commissions and make it visual, right? put them in a jar, and it is instant pay, don't wait until payday on sunday, because you want to send that reward. >> we're not going to send a 4-year-old to the salt mines. >> go faster! >> this kid is going to pick up three toys, mom and dad the rest, he gets a dollar right then, they want it right then. you wad it up, it takes more room and put it in the jar and build it up. so when you go to toys are them, you have money to take with them. >> then when they are older, you have the spend and save and give

envelope. >> so when they get paid, this is around six to 13 years old. you do the one night a week, they learn delays rewards, you teach them to give first, save second, spend third. >> i love the story about the checking accounts, now you have to learn to manage finances, you bounced a couple of checks, what did he make you do? >> he made me go down to the bank and apologize to the executive branch manager for lying to him because i told him i had money in his bank to spend and i didn't and i still wrote three checks and so i lied. >> what a lesson, did you call -- >> she has not bounced a check since, it worked. >> and you helped them get a car but not the whole thing. >> and we told them that ahead of time. we would start to tell them 10 years old. we will match you, we told them.

some parents can do that. some can't. but whatever the lesson, learning to set goals that are bigger, save longer as we get older. and i'll tell you, i had to pay for my first car and you drive a car differently when you pay for it. >> your son saved so much money you wouldn't let him buy an expensive car. he ended up giving it to disaster relief. >> he did. >> you're doing it right. stay with us, when we come back, the five secrets of paying for college without borrowing a dime.
