disappear. they are keeping an eye on that in view from space remarkable. >> that does it for us. thank you for watching. set your dvr so you never miss "360." we've heard a lot from russian officials in the past few days, but now it's time for russia to stop talking and start acting. the u.s. is already acting sending out more military exercises with russia's neighbors. we will have the latest on the standoff over ukraine. divers continue the search a week after a deadly ferry disaster. we're live from south korea. we now know where that teenage stow away was trying to go when he snuck into a plane's wheel well, plus other tales of incredible survival.

asteroids and us. experts tell us we should thank our lucky stars for avoiding so many catastrophic impacts. hello, everyone. you are watching ""cnn newsroom."" the u.s. is warning russia that more sanctions could be on the way if moscow does not do its part to ease tensions in the ukraine. >> u.s. secretary john kerry spoke by phone with sergei lavrov on tuesday. he urged moscow to tone down the harsh rhetoric and called on them to lay down their weapons and give back the government buildings they've seized. >> ukraine's interim president is urging a crackdown on the

places he's gathered. authorities say the bodies showed signs of torture. meantime, nato is deploying part of its nato action resource to the baltic sea. russia has deployed tens of thousands of troops in cities along its border with ukraine. moscow says that's all part of a military exercise. the u.s. is taking steps of its own to try to send a message to moscow, do your part to ease the tensions in ukraine. besides boosting u.s. forces in neighboring countries, vice president joe biden paid a visit to kiev. chief u.s. security correspondent jim schuter reports. >> reporter: mass gunmen still walk the streets in the east and occupy government buildings there. it's a situation the vice president demanded russia stop. >> we call on russia to stop

supporting men hiding behind masks in unbe marked uniforms sewing unrest in eastern ukraine. >> reporter: russia denies it's behind the unrest but photos appear to show russian involvement. u.s. officials say moscow is directing actions on the ground with intelligence agents in russian special forces and that there are 40 to 50,000 russian troops deployed on ukraine's eastern border. soon more u.s. troops will be deployed nearby, the pentagon confirming what cnn reported. they're sending more armies from the 173rd airborne to latvia, lithuania for military exercises. >> since russia's involvement we have been finding ways to reassure partners. >> reporter: there's a $50 million aid package for ukraine

which is struggling financially. as a diplomatic agreement is falling apart, the u.s. is threatening another round of economic sanctions. they vowed today that russia can go it alone economically becoming less reliant on the international banking system and sell more oil and gas to china. gop leader john mccain dismissed russia as a power. >> russia is a gas station masquerading as a country. all they have is gas and oil. i take that back. it's a gas station run by a mafia that is masquerading. >> originally i thought it was a little rough. i'm glad you stopped there. >> reporter: since this weekend the u.s. expanded those military deployments from eastern europe from 300 troops to 600 troops going to the four nato allies. at the same time u.s. officials considering another round of economic sanctions against

russia. those likely before the end of the week. the combination of military and economic measures intended to show russia the u.s. will not accept military action inside ukraine. jim sciutto, washington. they're working to secure the release of one of its journalists in slovesk. simon ostrovsky has been reporting. the self-proclaimed mayor is claiming a journalist is being held. the u.s. state department would not confirm but condemned the taking of hostages. well, the death toll is rising rapidly as divers search the sunk jennifer ri off south korea's jindo islands. >> authorities now say 146 people are confirmed dead. many of the bodies recently recovered were on the fourth

floor in cabins occupied by the 350 high school students who were on board. >> a temporary mu moral to those students opened just hours ago in the city of just down the street from where they attended high school. family and friends are leaving messages. some are clinging to hope that survivors will be found. >> for the very latest on the story, nick roberts has the story. the death toll is rising very quickly right now. >> reporter: it is, john, and we're just learning possibly some of the grimmest news for the parents. this is coming and being reported from korean media. this has yet to be substantiated and corroborated fully.

what korean media is reporting is that there were no air pockets on the third and fourth levels of the ship. we understood the rescue mission was focusing and hoping that there could be people holding out in air pockets. they were focusing their rescue efforts on the third and fourth floor. that's where they thought the students were. this that is just being reported now by korean media yet to be fully substantiated could be, if it proves to be true, a very grim moment in this rescue effort. it would tip it into being a recovery effort. the divers have got into that cafeter cafeteria, didn't find any bodies. they have searched a lounge on the third floor. they want to get into what they call a meeting area on the third floor. a lot of the bodies were to the rear of the ship in the cab buns on the fourth floor. the ship is on its side. it's now resting fully on the bottom of the ocean. they say that the divers are sort of going from top to bottom from the right side, if you will, to the left side of the

ship. the right side they say is mostly clear but there's still a long way to go, jon. >> questions of how all of this happened and how the crew reacted. we have the word the first distress call came from a boy with a cell phone on the boat which is raising questions of what the captain was doing as the ship was going down. >> reporter: the captain and the crew. he has a second officer and a third officer. the third officer was 69-year-old and yet it takes a young student on the ship to call in the 911 number which is 19 here to call in and alert emergency services something was wrong with the ship asking for help. it was three minutes after that before the ship's crew actually called the emergency services and getting through the coast guard eventually and asking for

help. the young boy, the young student on the phone the emergency services that he called tried to connect him to the coast guard. the coast guard were asking for his latitude and longitude which of course he was unable to give them. it certainly gives you an idea here that the crew here were not as fast even as the students who are not trained in this sort of thing to realize there was a problem aboard, john. >> a lot of anger, a lot being directed at the crew members. there are reports that some risked their own lives and some even perished to risk others. >> reporter: certainly there are those reports and those people are going to be remembered very fondly in the hearts of the families here beyond any shadow of a doubt, but we're also hearing of divers now who are putting themselves at extreme risk as well. six divers we're told have now been treated in a navy decompression chamber, that

includes two civilian divers who have been aiding and assisting with the efforts here. we know when the divers go down they're allowed a certain time below the surface before they need to come up. they need to come up slowly. it certainly seems that the situation they're working in and their effort to try to rescue people has pushed them to their limits of what is safe for diving. there are some people who have paid a high price, these divers also, some of them it seems paying a physical price as well. >> nic robertson live coming from korean media. no air pockets found on the third and fourth floors. we've yet to confirm that but an ominous sign from that sunk jennifer ri. thanks, nic. families are also looking for lost loved ones in the northwestern united states. two people are still missing a month after massive landslide crashed through the town of oso, washington. the death toll stands at 41.

dozens of homes were buried. president barack obama toured the area on tuesday and promised federal support for rebuilding. >> there's still families who are searching for loved ones. there are families who lost everything and it's going to be a difficult road ahead for them, that's why i wanted to come here, just to let you know that the country is thinking about all of you and have been throughout this tragedy. >> obama visited oso ahead of a tour of asia to include stops in malaysia, south korea, japan and the philippines. protesters in rio de janeiro are blaming police for the death of a young male dancer in the famous coco cabana neighborhood. crowds burned cars and barricades as police blocked the streets. there are reports that another man was killed in a shootout with authorities. the protests come less than a

month before the world cup football tournament. that will happen june 12th. we are going to take a very short break. nearly 7 weeks on and no sign of malaysia flight 370. what happens if those block boxes are discovered? >> we will visit a lab where they hope to retrieve the data and solve the mystery of that missing flight. plus, they guide expeditions up the world's tallest mountain, but right now sherpas are sending mixed messages about whether this year's climbing season will proceed. we'll be back. imagine if everything you learned led to the one job you always wanted. at university of phoenix, we believe every education- not just ours- should be built around the career that you want.

imagine that.

problems in the search for malaysia airlines flight 370. >> for the second straight day poor conditions have forced the

suspension of the air search. this video shows one of three airplanes that took off before the suspension. the planes were then recalled and returned to their base. 12 ships will continue their search activities. and the blue fin drone is set to start its 11th underwater mission after wrapping up mission 10 earlier today. it's now mapped most of its intended search zone with sonar so its role in the search is coming to an end. >> now assuming the blue fin comes up empty, australia is working with malaysia's government on a long-term search plan. the proposed reports for expanding the search zone. here's more from australia's prime minister. >> we haven't finished the search. we haven't found anything yet in the area that we're searching, but the point i make is that australia will not rest until we have done everything we humanly can to get to the bottom of this mystery. >> the weather has withbeen cau

a lot of trouble in that area. there was a tropical cyclone. we're standing by with more on the international weather center. >> ten tropical cyclones have come in across this region. this is the third one that's impacted the zone. cyclone jack, we're talking about a storm system that in the u.s. at the peak of it when it moves to this region would be the equivalent to a category 1 hurricane. a respectable storm. it is falling apart at this hour. unfortunately it's falling apart over the search zone. as rosemary told you the search is suspended tuesday and now wednesday. if you're down across the search zone at this hour what you would see, visibility is reduced to less than half a mile and wave heights upwards of eight feet or 2.5 meters. scenes out of perth, several hundred miles when it's brought back down on land when we know conditions are absolutely

stunning. it is a different story across the search zone. they've lost some of the steering characteristics that have moved it along. it's parked over ahead and it will rein itself out over the western fringe. still a lot of cloud cover. the concern remains for reduced visibility. a lot of wind to deal with as well. as far as the upper level winds, could be upwards of 80, 90 miles an hour above where the aircraft are flying down into the search zone. you take a look. there's another storm system beginning to develop. the concerns over the gulf and the timor sea where a complex of thunderstorms are in place. the warning guides are giving us a medium chance of forming in the next couple of days. if it does form historically, you can see it gaining strength and pushing back west and moving south towards the area of search. something important to note, it was exactly 30 days ago today we had tropical cyclone jillian which was a category 5

equivalent. 30 days ago today guys the search was conducted well to the south. >> it's amazing, 7 weeks, 30 days, the time frame is boggling. >> all indications are it will continuing. >> thanks, pedro. the plane's black boxes, that seems to be a pretty big if they are found, a lab in australia may play a key role in deciphering the information they may contain. >> michael holmes visited the nation's transport safety bureau to meet the people who may eventually decode the data. >> reporter: in a nonscript area, the secrets of malaysia flight 370 may be unblocked. >> what's this room? >> this is our audio laboratory. it's a specially designed screen room that's shielded. >> from noises? >> it has pretty good screening.

>> reporter: this is where neil campbell and his team forensically examine data recorders from planes, trains and ships. >> the reality is there are very few countries who have the technical know how to work out what's inside one of these things, and this lab is one of those places. >> reporter: boxes from other investigations torn apart, burned, damaged in many ways suggest a tough assignment, but here they say the story of what happened is usually found. >> a lot of our work is with undamaged recorders. it's very easy to download them. >> reporter: even with very damaged ones, your success rate in getting the information off is good. >> yes. we've always been able to recover the information from recorders we've seen. >> reporter: he is a measured, cautious man. a job involves knowledge and patience. lots of patience. >> from the flight data recorder we obtain a raw data files.

>> reporter: just 1s and 0s. >> which contain 1s and 0s. >> reporter: the positions contain up to 2,000 pieces of data from the data recorder itself. it's build into a waterproof, wire proof shock proof shell. at the end analysis can be this, an animating representation of a tragedy, this one from a 2010 training flight. two dead after a simulated engine failure went wrong. >> a lot of the symmetry which couldn't be controlled and the aircraft ended up impacting the train. >> you're able to recreate this from the black boxes? >> that's right. >> reporter: the size of the boxes is deceptive in some ways. the vast majority of it containing technology that supports the brain. surprisingly small but containing everything neil campbell needs on a handful of computer chips. >> reporter: in a box this big, that's what you need?

>> yes. that's the crucial part. >> reporter: but they have to be found first. minot a country with the technical ability to decipher the boxes. nothing's being decided but it is highly possible that if they're found, they will end up here where neil campbell and his team say they're ready to attempt to unlock a mystery like no other. michael holmes, cnn, cambra, australia. the government has agreed to a compensation package demand i by sherpas who help reach the peak of mt. everest. >> it comes in the wake of an accident that killed 13 sherpas. the accident almost shut down this year's climbing season. >> shutting down the mountain from the opinion of some of the sherpas to demand a form of respect for the sherpas that have died last week on the mountain, and -- but i think it's the decision of the

sherpas, the 300 odd sherpas that are still up on the mountain and the teammates and the government to come to an understanding as to whether they would continue to climb this season or not. >> general is the son of legendary sherpa tenzing sergei. >> the head of the mountain nearing association says certain expeditions will resuming. the u.s. supreme court is weighing in on a controversial college admissions policy. >> find out if the country's highest court says race can be a factor in deciding who gets to study at some of the top universities in america. also still to come, a new warning about those asteroids that burn up in earth's atmosphere. one day our luck may run out.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." we want to tell you when a major court decision that will have an affect on education in the u.s. >> they've upheld a michigan law that bans racial information, affirmative action. >> the supreme court found a lower court did not have authority to set aside the law which was approved in a public referendum. there are similar measures banning affirmative action in college admissions in several other u.s. states. the supreme court also heard arguments tuesday in a major case that could change how americans watch television. >> the case is pitting the big broadcast networks against an internet startup. karen kafar has more. >> reporter: broadcasters are

used to doing battle with each other in the living room, but on tuesday the supreme court, a cas case banded together some big rivals to battle a startup they say breaks long standing copyright rules. >> if a company like aereo can somehow provide content to lots of paying strangers without engaged in a public performance, i think the networks, at least some of them, will have to rethink the way that they provide content. >> reporter: aereo is a streaming service that uses thousands of small antennas to pick up signals of local television and then delivers them to smart phones, tablets and other devices to the internet. for $8 a month subscribers can watch what they want. they say they're a programmer. we're confident that the court understood that when a person watching over the air broadcast television in his or

her home is engaging in a private performance and not a public performance, it would implicate the copyright act. >> reporter: the justices offered few clear signals as to who they will side with expressing concern about aereo skirting u.s. copyright rules but also how a ruling against them could affect cloud-based services. a ruling against them would knock them out of business. the ruling's implications could be big, in both television and the technology companies. a decision is expected this summer. karen capa, cnn, washington. we have this footnote to this story. our parent company time warner has filed papers on the side of the broadcasters. it's not a plaintiff but it says action is needed to set the vital area of copyright law back on course. >> good you said it. >> yes. >> all right. now in the hustle and bustle of daily life, most of us don't

have the time or perhaps inclination to think about asteroids. >> worry about it all the time. i was awake last night thinking about it. but a california based group says we should think about it like i'm doing and be a little bit afraid. the b 6 group says some of these places are caused by asteroids. >> he's fun to be with. this has to do with the damage in russia last year as evidence of the damage a small asteroid can do. it's raising money to launch a space telescope in 2018 to give humanity a warning. >> it's all about the money, isn't it? >> when we come back a town in eastern ukraine on edge after a fatal attack over the weekend. >> unnext, why the residents blame the government in kiev for

their watch. plus, a look at what trainers teach crew members to do when their ship starts sinking. and later, new details about that 15-year-old who flew from california to hawaii in a plane's wheel well. before he had children. before he got married. it started in his very first apartment. see that overdue bill? it arrived after he moved out. and he never got it. but he's not worried. checking his credit report and score at experian.com allowed him to identify and better address the issue... ... and drive off into the sunset. experian . live credit confident.™ peoi go to angie's listt for all kinds of reasons. to gauge whether or not the projects will be done in a timely fashion and within budget. angie's list members can tell you which provider is the best in town. you'll find reviews on everything from home repair to healthcare.

welcome back to all. you're watching "cnn newsroom." we want to welcome our viewers

in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> iu.s. secretary of state joh kerry says it is prepared to take steps against moscow. kerry spoke tuesday by phone with his russian counterpart, sergei lavrov. a temporary memorial to high school students who perished in south korea's ferry disaster is now open. most of the 476 people on board were students. authorities now confirm 146 deaths, 174 people were rescued as the ship sank a week ago. planes return to base in australia after poor weather conditions force the suspension of today's air search for malaysia airlines flight 370. ships in the search zone are continuing though. earlier the blue fin underwater drone completed its tenth mission. they're still waiting for

confirmation that mission 11 is underway. we do want to go back to our top story. the ukrainian president is calling for a resumption of the anti-terror campaign in the eastern part of the country. >> that comes as the body of a ukrainian politician was pulled from a river in the city of slovensk. they say he and another man showed signs of torture. ukraine's president says pro russian members are responsible. they deny any part of it. >> translator: russia must fulfill its international obligations. we are not asking from russia anything, we are only demanding to stick to international agreements and not behave like

gangsters in this century. >> u.s. vice president joe biden is asking for russia to do more to ease tensions in the east. >> we've heard a lot from russian officials in the past few days, but now it's time for russia to stop talking and start acting. act on the commitments that they make. to get pro russian separatists to vacate buildings and check points, accept amnesty, and address their grievances politically to get out on the record calling for the release of all illegally occupied buildings. that's not a hard thing to do. >> the story though you get from many residents in eastern ukraine is very different. they blame ultranationalist

ukrainian groups for the violence, including the deaths of three men who were killed at the weekend at a military check point. we get more from phil blank. >> reporter: two notes filled the church. painful grief and many cameras. sorrowful and very public farewell for 57-year-old sergei rudinka. he was one of three men killed early sunday morning accord to go officials in slovensk when their checkpoint outside the town was attacked. the others, a 21-year-old and 23-year-old alexander segerof. the church was packed with people who loved them. a larger crowd waited outside to hail them as heroes. this is what they want the world to see because they say it is proof of the price being paid here in the east because of the change of government in kiev.

>> our children are dying, our husbands and grandchildren this woman says. everyone here believes they were killed by the right sector, the ukrainian national list group. right sector denies it but that doesn't satisfy this town. at one point during the funeral they seized a man from the crowd leading him away. they refused to explain why. nearby more masked men have taken over the police chief in location. when he finishes talking, he's confronted by one of the masked men. the man accuses the officer of lying, insisting the police chief ran away. this online video which we can't verify claims to show the police chief walking away escorted by a militant. the men who have invaded this

building tell me they're protecting the people. they don't explain how disarming the police, hiding their faces and carrying guns allows them to do it. with 150 now confirmed dead so far, the search continues around the clock on south korea's sunk jennifer ri. >> divers are now using sonar to help locate more than 150 bodies which is still considered missing. we have more from what is still being called a search and rescue. >> reporter: this time last week the ferry disaster unfolded. there's still fresh signs that this is very much a new disaster. if you look out at the yellow sea here where we are parked on a boat, you can see, that's an oil slick. now authorities had been telling us that the ferry was releasing oil intermittently.

this is certainly -- we're in the middle of one. we're floating in one. if you look a little further down that way, over my shoulder, that is where it's coming from. right where those buoys are. they're very difficult to make out. right next to that yellow crane, the ship with the yellow crane. that is where the sunk jennifer ri is 65 feet below it sits. and the difficult task of trying to pull more people out continues. as you look across the horizon, what you see are a number of boats and they're actually going back and forth. the maritime police boats are going back and forth with nets because another concern is that some of these bodies may be floating out to sea. the death toll continues to rise. divers say they will not give up despite the fact that these are extremely dangerous conditions. the authorities today beginning to use sonar. cnn off jindo island in the yellow sea. as we learned, the

passengers aboard that ferry were told to stay where they were as the ship ran into trouble. >> this tragedy is now focusing on attention on what the crew and passengers should do to get to safety. we have more on that from florida. >> reporter: on a ship, this is the universal sign of trouble. inside this model ship hull instructors from result maritime academy train crew how to prevent a deadly disaster at sea. like the sinking of the passenger ferry in south korea. investigators say the nearly 7,000 ton ship sank in about 2 1/2 hours. 476 people were inside when a boy on board made the first call for help at 8:52 a.m. local time. the ship's crew made a distress call about three minutes later, at 8:55.

the crew's response is critical to preventing disaster. in this scenario water is rushing in from an unknown source. water is starting to rise. what to you do? >> main thing is just to get away from the damage. get outside. let the crew know if you did find damage. make sure the crew knows about it. >> they use anything they can to plug the holes. >> how much time do you really have to get out or to assess the situation when water really starts just gushing in? >> well, it all depends on the scenario. how deep the hole is inside the water. naturally the deeper the hole in the water, the more water pressure will be pushing in. >> if i'm a passenger that's on a ship and i'm not very familiar with a ship, what do you suggest that i do to get to safety? >> best thing to get to safety is follow the walls, follow, get to a ladder, get outside.

>> cnn, fort lauderdale, florida. we are going to take a very short break right now, but just ahead, new details are emerging about that strike on al qaeda members in yemen over the weekend. >> yeah. we'll look at what u.s. special operations may have played in this mission. plus, the teenage stowe away who survived a five hour flight to hawaii in the plane's wheel well. he wasn't trying to go to hawaii at all. later, he may be one of the most recognizable people in the world today. we'll show you what he looked like when he was just a little boy. ng for a job. no. not that one. that one. the one who seems like he's already got the job 'cause he studied all the right courses from the get-go. and that's an accountant, a mom, a university of phoenix scholarship recipient, who used our unique --scratch that-- awesome career-planning tool. and that's a student, working late, with a day job, taking courses aligned with the industry he's aiming to be in.

ready to build an education around the career that you want? let's get to work.

welcome back. new details about massacres in south sudan have triggered a reaction from the white house. >> on monday the u.s. said it would investigate after rebels killed hundreds in their town.

hundreds were targeted from their ethnicity. rebels deny the reports saying government forces committed heinous crimes whilst retreating. images and accounts of the attack shocked the conscious. these acts of violence are an abomination. this is exactly the violence and suffering the south sudanese people fought for decades to escape. the statement goes on to say the south sudanese government must take steps to end the bloodshed. a senior official told cnn a bomb maker may have been killed during an assault last week. >> u.s. officials say he wasn't directly targeted. barbara starr has new details on the operations that killed at least 65 suspected terrorists. >> reporter: cnn has learned u.s. personnel used russian made helicopters with night vision gear to secretly fly many troops

into the remote southern mountains of yemen, a further sign the u.s. would help risk this unprecedented raid on the al qaeda strong hold. u.s. officials say the american personnel did not engage in combat on the ground, it was just part of the u.s. assistance in the attacks. >> we continue to work with them on their counterterror capabilities inside their own country but i'm not going to speak to specific operations. >> reporter: even before the ground assault, the cia used drones to attack al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, aqap, fighters, weapon sites and a training camp near a meeting of 100 fighters last month that was videotaped. u.s. officials were unnerved after viewing al qaeda's leader in yemen addressing the group saying we must eliminate the cross, the bearer of the cross

is america. >> you have to believe that it was a message designed that was not aqap but to warn the united states that an attack was coming. >> reporter: while the raids were not targeting al qaeda's top bomb maker, a yemeni government official tells cnn they are conducting a dna test on one fighter killed, a saudi citizen. the dna testing could take days. >> if there's anywhere to hide in yemen, the inaccessible mountains in the south would be a good place to start. >> reporter: al a siri is a top target. they believe he's designing new bombs to get past airport security and more attacks against the u.s. the u.s. hopes the latest attacks destroyed the training camp and destroyed any new training plots but still that video is out there.

why did 100 al dade fighters feel confident enough to come out in front of cameras and show their faces. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. now teenage stowaway who flew in a flaplane's wheel well said he was trying to get to somalia to see his mom. >> investigators say they didn't think the boy -- they think the boy didn't even know where the plane he climbed into was heading. he just went to the nearest aircraft. >> the 15-year-old is in hospital in hawaii. authorities say he survived subzero temperatures and decompleted oxygen levels. i have to say there are not many people who have made it out alive after trying to stowaway in a plane. >> surprisingly people have been trying to get away for decades. >> reporter: being a stowaway and a survivor means beating bone chilling odds. the cuban defector did it in 2002 by identifying in the wheel

well of a d.c. 10 that landed on the tarmac in montreal. victor alvarez molina described it as being so cold he couldn't breathe. he eventually was granted the political asylum he risked his life for. he joins a rare group of a couple hundred of people in the history of aviation known have hitched a ride in the underbelly of a plane and lived to tell about it. after more than seven hours on a flight from tahiti to los angeles but more than 3/4 of stowaways suffer the kind of fate you'd expect after being in a space colder than a freezer for several hours with little oxygen. november 2010, 16-year-old avan dale is thought to have hidden in the wheel well. as the plane landed the teenager fell to his death as the landing

gear deployed. >> this is a tragedy first and foremost for the tisdale family. secondly, it's something that once this occurs we want to ensure that never happens again. >> for decades stowaways have been a rare but real problem. look at the "life" magazine photo. he drops out of a d.c. 8 and falls to his death from sydney, australia. body parts fell from a wheel well of a south african airways jet in 2005 shortly before it landed in new york. a woman on the flight path describes how some of his remains landed on her home. >> i noticed something that looked like a human or animal part. my first reaction was maybe it was a horse's leg but there is a sneaker on it. there is a sneaker on the leg.

it is a whole leg. the first officers on scene said, oh, my god, this is a human leg. >> reporter: these graphic details make it all the more improbable that anyone would steal away on a jet liner and expect to survive. the the california teenager is one that had a heck of a lot of luck. we'll change gears here and take a look at north korea's leader long before he came to power. look at this. >> north korean state tv aired these cheeky photographs of kim jong-un. they were part of a documentary that ran after a concert. >> to think he grew up to condemn his uncle to death. >> who would have thought. one man certainly has an insayingsal appetite for gold. >> still to come, we'll tell you

how his taste for precious metal gave him a bad taste of indigestion. plus, the royals scratch out some songs in australia. stay with us.

♪ ♪ very catchy there. the duke and duchess of cambridge putting their disc jockey skills to the test. they were visiting a place in australia and got to spin some tracks. >> they spent their time in the capital of cambria before heading home. >> time to check in with our meteorologist, pedram. you're following severe weather heading to the central u.s. >> that's right. we have 5 million people, rosemary and john, in the path of storms. when we get daylight heating that takes place across the

central and southern plains. tornadoes look like they're going to be very much scattered and few and far between. the large probability of a large area of concern will be for heavy rainfall and large hail as far as golf ball size and strong winds up to 55 to 65 miles an hour from wichita, oklahoma city, down across central texas. west of dallas being into the afternoon and evening hours with severe weather coming in. the storm system will push in across the ohio valley and the eastern seaboard and bring in scattered showers. a lot of interest is focused on the severe weather areas. pretty interesting in saturday and sunday where a large lived tornado will be possible. that would be the first event of 2014 where we have the cold air coming into the west, warm, moist air and dry air coming out. where they collide in the heart of tornado alley. this is the time of year where we begin to see activity really heat up across this portion of

the world. one thing worth noting here we still incredibly, we don't often talk about records as far as being good. this particular record is certainly good news here. still zero fatalities in the united states because of tornadoes so far in 2014. this is the first time in 99 years we've gone this late into the season. you see atop the charts with still no fatalities in the u.s. associated with severe weather and storms. i want to share with you some images, not particular images, satellite images out of antarctica. massive ice bergs. the area twice the size of the city of at lab at that moving across the southern ocean. it covers 255 miles. it could be 1/3 mile thick. the concern with this is that it's threatening the shipping lanes during the antarctic winter. it will move into the general flow of the southern ocean. once this happens, researchers are concerned we're going into several months of no daylight.

tracking it becomes challenging and it makes it dangerous for the shipping areas. fascinating. >> thanks, pedram. >> you've got it. >> see you tomorrow. well, we have all heard of a heart of gold, but what about a belly full of the shiny stuff? >> let's call this guy all golden guts. doctors discovered what was ultimately a taste game. >> reporter: gold, the metal most precious to the mepeople o india. a symbol of wealth, power and beauty but it's not so pretty now, is it? this is what the process of removing 12 gold bars from the stomach of a 63-year-old looks like. each of the object weighs 33 grams. in total they command an import duty of $17,000 so it's little wonder some people would go to extreme lengths to try to avoid that. this suspected smuggler visited a new delhi hospital after arriving from abroad.

doctors say he complained of severe stomach pain and nausea claim to go have swallowed the cap of a bottle. what they found was rather more pricey and presumably more painful. the gold bars are in complete care and the patient is under investigation for tax evasion which certainly takes the shine off his import experiment. amir, cnn, abu dhabi. >> who knew you shouldn't eat gold. >> it's not good for you. >> yes. note to self. >> doesn't come out. >> exactly. >> stays there. >> thanks for watching "cnn newsroom." >> i'm rosemary church. >> i'mdown vause. >> "early start" is coming up next for our viewers in the united states. for everyone else, stay with us for "world business today."
