r is expected to rise. this as new search areas established in hopes of finding wreckage of flight 8501. i'm in hong kong. welcome to the international viewers and those watching in the u.s. also ahead at this hour he was known as the last liberal giant of new york politics. today, those are remembering mario cuomo. the match up is set. the number one team in the nation and defending champions are both out. teams have narrowed the

search for flight 8501. authorities consider the red box on your screen the most probable area for the wreckage. it is 1,575 square nautical miles or twice the size of lux luxemborg. let's go to indonesia and david joins us now. david, a lot to get to first, but the victim recovery and identification process. more remains have been identified. what can you tell us? >> reporter: an absolutely heart breaking afternoon here in surabaya outside the crisis center and police hospital. a short time ago, three additional victims of the crash of flight 8501 were identified here. let me read their names. grace herbert. kevin alexander.

the third is haider. she was one of the flight attendants on the flight. the first crew member from the airasia that has been identified. i had the chance earlier this morning, a few hours ago before the identification to sit down with her parents, her mother and father in their hotel. as they were waiting this agonizing long wait. six days after the plane took off. four days into the search and rescue for identification and news. they were remarkably strong. we were looking at photos of her on her instagram account. they were pointing and smiling and laughing and sharing memories about her. her mother said she was doing what she loved. she loved to fly. right in the middle of the chat we got a call. the escort and airasia escort was there. the call that no parent ever

wants to get to come here to police headquarters and identify their daughter's remains. and so that happened. it took a few hours. just a few moments ago, those remains were handed over to her family in a ceremony. certainly a somber afternoon here in surabaya. >> very somber afternoon. absolutely heart breaking to learn of this development and see the photos of the beautiful young woman. such an agonizing wait for her family members and other families still waiting for answers. what can you tell us more about the search and new focus of the search. >> reporter: that's right. still 158 more families waiting for answer. 14 bodies recovered as you mentioned. they managed to narrow the search zone to a priority area. a bit smaller and gives them a bit of an idea of where they

will look based on where they picked up bodies and debris. it is a huge area. it will take some time. we think there are about 90 ships and planes trolling the waters. weather playing a big factor here still. waves up to 2 to 3 meters. cloud cover. you know not making it difficult for ships, but certainly make it difficult, if not impossible for divers to get in the water. although the search is ongoing, it still could be a large amount of time. maybe days perhaps weeks before they find the bulk of the aircraft and recover the rest of the passengers. >> david, you mentioned 90 vessels taking part in the massive search and recovery effort. what international teams are there to help and bolster the search? >> reporter: this is really an international effort. you have indonesia involved as the major leader of the search as the airline of course.

as well as the bulk of the passengers from here. more than 150 from indonesia. you have malaysia singapore, japan, south korea, the united states all contributing to the search effort. u.s. destroyer is in place and we are also hearing that they are starting the process by looking for the black boxes or listening to the black boxes. last year march, april, we were talking about the malaysia airline mh-370. they were using towing devices to try to listen for the sound. a very specific frequency that comes out of the black boxes. our understanding from malaysian and indonesian certifysearchers is that is now beginning and we will see what yields in the days ahead. >> a lot of challenges. david molko reporting for us in

surabaya indonesia. thank you. still a few days before the weather improves or that search zone in the java sea. meteorologist ivan cabrera has more. ivan very challenging conditions. >> challenging and impossible. you cannot have divers going into 50 foot waves. that will not happen here. they will have to be on stand by on the ships and as weather clears there will be brief windows of that. maybe they can get some work done. take a look at the satellite. this is a 24-hour loop. there's the java sea. you can barely see it behind me as the thunderstorm activity basically blossoms here and takes over the region here. there have been a few breaks however, the timing has not worked out. the breaks have occurred at night. the visibility is not going to be there for them. there's the box and we will continue to monitordayitor that. we will still have waves of

showers and thunderstorms. this is the rainy season. it does not get wetter than december and january. the monsoon season in the java sea and indonesia. saturday 12:00 local, we continue to see a few breaks. by the time we get into saturday afternoon, this is the best time. we will have daylight and better visibility i think, for part of the day on saturday before the next wave begins to move in. by sunday we are back in to very heavy showers and thunderstorms here. weather is going to continue to play a role throughout the process as we have been talking about here. not through the weekend, but continuing into next week as we still have in the forecast some very heavy thunderstorms for the region. >> as you mentioned, the critical break in the weather. thank you for the forecast. ivan cabrera, take care. only a handful of the 162

passengers and crew on board airasia flight 8501 have been pulled from the waters of the java sea. another search vessel is due to head out to the site where authorities believe the plane and more victims will be found. divers are on board, but as paula newton reports, recovery efforts will hinge on the weather. >> reporter: down here in the port on the west coast of borneo. preparations are underway for one of the search vessels to head out and try to locate some of those bodies and also debris. this is a police boat. it will have search and rescue on board. some of the divers are going to be on board. they have been out a couple of times, but many of them say they could not get into the water. it was simply too dangerous. today, they know they have waves of four meters or 13 feet high. this is too dangerous for them to get in. one diver said he would be giving up his life if he tried to do that.

frustrated. sometimes they have to wait for a break in the weather to bring closure to those distraught families. paula hancocks cnn, from the port in indonesia. >> as families of the victims wait word, they are getting support in surabaya. now one of the counselors is here joining us. thank you for joining us here at cnn. it is now six days after the disaster. how are the families coping? >> yes. right now, families are dealing with different crises. several of them already received the remains of their loved ones. at least four families have. some of them still hoping that they can find the remains of their loved ones as they are still in the crisis center. they want to really grieve once they have the remains of their family members.

but there is still anxiety and hope they can find a body of their loved ones. >> i can only imagine that a number of victims have been identified but many many scores more remain missing. how do you support these families during this difficult and excruciating wait? >> at least for today in the headquarters we have two teams. the psychologists that assists the families through the post mortem process. we try to assist them once the body comes to the hospital. we assist them through the process until the burial. some of the families already have quite social support. they don't require help from psychologists. there are some families who also ask for assistance from psychologists. the second team we still are in

the crisis center giving support for the families especially as we wait and we will provide families in need for psychological support such as calming down techniques like relaxation and calming techniques through consultation. >> it is good to hear the families have social and professional support. are there family members still clinging to the hope that some of those on board the plane may have survived? >> sorry. can you repeat the last part again? >> are there still family members who are still waiting for answers, still clinging to the hope that their loved ones may have survived? >> yes, yes. most of them in the crisis center their families still have hope that they will find the body of their loved ones. they really hope that the search

teams will work really hard to find the remains of their loved ones in the sea. however, we understand that as time goes by we also want to assist this family to have a more realistic hope there are some that may be achieved but some we have to stay close with reality that there are some who may not be recovered. i need to inform you that in indonesia, families have great social support from the communities from the people surrounding and from the volunteers here. we have volunteers from psychologists and psychiatrists and really just leaders here. with that kind of support, we assist families to go through the grief process. >> there is a complete web of emotional and social and spiritual support there for the victims families. we will leave it at that. thank you so much. you do important work. thank you for offering psychological and emotional

support to the victims families there. take care. you are watching cnn. after the break, we remember one of america's finest orders. we look back on the life of mario cuomo. veteran politician and son of new york. ♪ push it. ♪ ♪ p...push it real good! ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ow! ♪ ♪ oooh baby baby...baby baby. ♪ if you're salt-n-pepa, you tell people to push it. ♪ push it real good. ♪ it's what you do. ♪ ah. push it. ♪ if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance you switch to geico. it's what you do. ♪ ah. push it. ♪ i'm pushing. i'm pushing it real good!

mario cuomo is being remembered as the last giant of new york politics. the former governor died on thursday of heart failure in manhattan. he was 82. cuomo was known as an eloquent speaker. he served in the '80s and '90s and twice considered running for president. in a statement, president obama said quote, mario paired his faith in god and america to live a life of public service and we are all better for it. he rose to be chief executive of the state he loved. in an unflinching voice for tolerance and fairness and dignity and opportunity. and mayor de blasio tweeted this. mario cuomo was a man of unwharfering principle with compassion for human kind. we look back at new york's favorite sons.

>> new york governor cuomo burst on the stage with the speech at the democratic national conference. >> we proclaim as loudly as we can, the utter insanity of nuclear proliferation. life is better than death. peace is better than war. >> reporter: it was so powerful so well delivered, that it rocketed cuomo to instant political fame. his appearance led some party faithful to wonder if cuomo wanted to be president himself. >> they said will you think about it. i will think about it. >> are you going think about it anymore? >> i'll try, sam, to keep it out of my mind. >> reporter: it was that indecisiveness that frustrated democrats, especially those on the more liberal end and

garnered cuomo the nickname hamlet on the hudson. ultimately cuomo decided not to run. >> it has everything to do with my job as governor. i don't see i can do both. i will not pursue the presidency. >> reporter: mario matthew cuomo was born in new york city in 1932. in the apartment above his father's grocery store. his italian heritage helped his values which centered around family education and the law. after a brief shot at a minor league baseball career cuomo pursued a law degree. graduating top of his class from st. john's. the allure of public service was strong. early attempts at seeking political office ended in defeat. the first success came in 1978 as running mate to governor hugh

carey. winning two more terms by emphasizing lower taxes, balanced budgets and education and affirmative action. in 1983 he passed a chance to be appointed to the supreme court. choosing to run for a fourth term as governor. >> it would have been wonderful to be a supreme court justice in many ways. it was more important to me to try to run and win again. i thought i could serve better as governor than as a supreme court justice. >> reporter: but cuomo lost that race to george pataki. he later said after 12 years, voters were just ready for a change. the constant in his life were faith and family. cuomo was catholic and married for over six decades to the love of his wife ma tilda. then his children maria and andrew who followed in his father's footsteps as well as

journalist and cnn anchor chris cuomo. he hosted a radio show and returned to the private sector as attorney and author and speak out for party he loved and causes he held close to his heart. asked once how he wanted to be remembered. >> one of the simple things i wanted to achieve. i want to be governor. the hardest working there ever was. i want when it is over. i figured on four years at first. i want people to say there was an honest person. >> that was wolf blitzer remembering the life of former governor mario cuomo who died thursday at age 82. coming up next two teams have battled their way to compete in the u.s. college football playoffs. details on that straight ahead.

the first u.s. college football playoffs will see oregon and ohio state facing off. cnn's andy scholes has more. >> reporter: college football fans wanted a playoff for years. they finally got what they ask been asking for on new year's day. two epic games. in the rose bowl semifinal, controversy. after beating florida state and ending the 29-game winning streak some of oregon's players, they mocked the seminoles tomahawk chop. they seem to be referencing the off the field issues of jameis

winston. winston was never charged. that came after the players did not shake hands with the ducks after the game. they were frustrated after having an epic meltdown in the second half. they turned the ball over five times. including a jameis winston fumble that rivalled the butt fumble from mark sanchez. a 59-20 win. >> no one likes to lose, man. losing is not in my vocabulary to be honest with you. we fell short today and i have to man-up and get better every day. i just hope that we can learn from this because i ain't felt this way in a long time. >> meanwhile, at the sugar bowl in new orleans, it was a nail biter. after falling behind early, ohio

state's third string quarterback car cardale jones led them to get the win in an instant classic, 42-35. >> the big ten is not that bad. the big ten is pretty damn good. it is getting better. >> you see the two best teams playing for it all. it is an honor to be in there. i'm glad the playoff system is in tact. >> it will be ohio state versus oregon in the college football playoff championship game. the teams will have 11 days to get ready before they hit the field at at&t stadium in arlington, texas on january 12th. andy scholes, cnn. >> there were some disappointed college football fans on thursday and not because of the scores. those planning to watch from their phones using espn's streaming app, they were out of luck. espn apologized for the system

crash and a rep tweeted this quote, #watchespn issues. largely resolve on all platforms. we continue to constantly monitor and apologize. and the mars rover is having bouts of amnesia. it has been exploring mars for more than ten years. the team thinks an age-related fault is affecting the flash memory. the nasa project manager explained to discovery news that his team believe it is found a way to hack the software to disregard the faulty part. this is cnn newsroom. straight ahead, teams searching for airasia flight 8501 have established the most likely place to look for the wreckage, but bad weather may still be getting in the way.

welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. here is a look at the top stories. a malaysia navy says it established a most probable area to look for the wreckage of airasia flight 8501. this as authorities work to identify the relatively few victims found so far. we will bring you a live report on the latest just ahead. a u.s. politician mario cuomo has died. he served three terms as governor of new york from 1983 to 1995. his oldest son is the state's currents governor. his youngest son chris, is anchor of new day. his family says he died of heart failure. he was 82. the trial of dzhokhar

tsarnaev is set to begin on monday with jury selection. a federal judge rejected the defense request to postpone the trial. tsarnaev and his brother killed three people and injured more than 200 when they setoff explosives near the boston marathon finish line in april of 2013. the families of three al jazeera journalists are disa disappointed of the hearing. urging egyptian authorities to speed up the judicial process. let's return to the top story. the crash of airasia flight 8501. it has been five almost six days since the plane disappeared with 162 people on board. david molko joins us from surabaya indonesia. david, as the search and recovery efforts go on more

victims have been identified. what is the latest? >> reporter: good afternoon from surabaya. let's start with details coming in to us. this is on the island of borneo. paula hancocks has been there. they have been taking remains before flying them to surabaya. i understand there is a press conference. they are talking about the numbers of bodies recovered. a lot of different numbers moving around right now. we are hearing 14 that has been recovered. we are monitoring that. out of the search area offshore of 200 kilometers offshore they are continuing to face challenging weather conditions. waves of 2 to 3 meters in the search zone and cloud cover. we're told by officials here in indonesia that those conditions are not expected to improve through the weekend. certainly proving challenging for those teams as they try to

recover additional passengers and crew and debris of flight 8501. >> david, you have been reporting 14 bodies have been recovered so far. this is a massive and prolonged search. yet so many remains have yet to be retrieved. the main body the fuselage of the plane, still out there. what is the main challenge for the search teams? does it all come down to the conditions at sea and the weather? >> reporter: the weather is proving a big challenge for search teams looking for the main wreckage of flight 8501 in the search zone. as well as trying to figure out where the main part of the aircraft is located. they located some debris and some remains, but consensus if you talk to officials they think the aircraft is mostly or partially in tact on the ocean floor somewhere. it is not very deep. 25 to 40 meters is what we're

told. it is murky. when you have a choppy sea. it is difficult for divers to get in the water. difficult, if not impossible. coming back here to the crisis center in surabaya behind me the crisis center where the families are waiting and next door at the police hospital. the latest news out are here an hour and a half ago, three more victims identified. i want to read their names. grace herbert, kevin alexander hanu. one of the flight attendants on board. she is 22 years old. i chatted with her family this morning with her mother and father and two brothers and cousins and boyfriend. they were rather strong and had this just energy. laughing and smiling as we looked at photos. while i was there, we got the

call they needed to come to the crisis center to identify their daughter's remains and a short time ago, in a small somber ceremony her casket was handed over to her parents. now they are on their way back to their home in sumatra several hundred kilometers west of here. one story out of 162. a very difficult afternoon here in surabaya. >> when we hear the names and see the photos of one of the victims, it gives us an opportunity to honor their lives and what was lost. as this goes on, this grim identification effort, the recovery effort, what kind of support are the family members receiving there where you are in surabaya? >> reporter: family members get an incredible amount of support. when we first arrived here a few days ago, myself and my colleague andrew stevens, i

walked to the front door and approached by two staffers who immediately said can we help you and are you family. the parents this morning, they had an escort to make sure they had everything handled with transportation and helping them get here. inside the crisis center through the doors, journalists are not inside. we are kept out. we are told families have access to religious leaders and guidance counselors and food and water. they are staying nearby. in a sense, they have everything they need at this point, but closure. >> david molko reporting live from surabaya. we got confirmation. 22 bodies now recovered from the airasia crash. a number of them eight of them sent to surabaya where david molko is standing by for further verification. david, thank you for your reporting. we will check in with you later. a team of experts is scheduled to arrive at the

presumed crash site in the java sea if the weather permits. they are bringing special equipment to listen for the black boxes. aaron is the scientist at the university of new south wales. >> if the debris can be scooped up from the surface of the ocean, it will be difficult to get all of the pieces and we will decide what happened to the plane all together. for the debris that is on the bottom of the sea, it is probably a little bit better. currents are not so strong that they would be able to move entire pieces of heavy plane, fuselage. that's okay. it is really the drifting debris that we have to be worried about if we want to collect it all. >> that was erik van sebille. he spoke to us earlier by skype. you can stay up to date with the

search and recovery efforts by logging on to our web site cnn.com. a grim report finds a number of civilians killed in iraq doubled in the last years. the latest figures by the iraq body count project show 17,000 iraqi civilians were killed in 2014. isis and its attempts to seize the country and u.s.-led air strikes are largely responsible for the total. the death toll is similar in syria. the london-based syria observatory for human rights found 17,790 civilians killed in the last year. when you include the rebel militias and troops the total surges to more than 76,000. there is some progress to report though in the fight against isis in syria. kurdish forces have been fighting militants for the

control of kobani for months now. a group says the kurds have seized 70% of kobani. including the site that faces the turkey border. and syrian activists say fighting with government forces and militants has left at least 25 syrian soldiers dead. air strikes and missiles against isis and al nusra militants on the outskirts of the capital. assad visited his troops on new year's eve undercover of night. he told them this quote, no one is celebrating the new year. we are in war. all the days are the same. he also saluted his troops for wanting to protect their country and people. new video posted online appears to show two kidnapped aide workers pleading for release. the women went missing from italy to syria in july. it is not clear who is holding them. this sign you see here suggests

the video was shot on december 17th. cnn cannot verify its authenticity. icelandic coast guard vessel is towing migrants to safety. they issued a distress call after the sierra leone ship lost power. just the day before, the coast guard rescued another migrant ship abandoned by the crew. that ship carried 768 people. you are watching cnn newsroom. still to come hit hard by the plunging ruble. some will say they will soon end up on the street unless the government intervenes. more on that story after the break.

coming to you live from hong kong. uber drivers had a very good start to the new year. the app-based transportation service saw prices jump 500% on new year's eve. based on cnn money, at the peak of surge pricing, uber users in new york and dallas had to pay six times the normal fare. in los angeles, as well as other cities it was a little tamer with passengers paying double and triple the normal rate. in russia the plummeting

ruble is causing mortgages to sky rocket. some say they are desperate for help from the government. erin mclaughlin has more from the streets of moscow. >> reporter: people here saying this is their last hope. the desperate plea for help to russian president vladimir putin. to have their voices heard, they are willing to stand in temperatures well below zero. they did not know interest rates would spike and ruble would collapse. the oil prices falling for the russia's alleged actions in ukraine. people you see here have mortgages in a foreign currency. they say either the government steps in or we'll end up on the streets. according to a state-run foreign news agency 3.3% is all mortgage debt but the government is playing down the problem. they say as many as 150,000 people could be affected. it is here we meet marina and

her family. she blames the banks for being greedy. she says president putin is doing things the right way. >> i would lose my apartment, but not lose crimea. >> reporter: a heavy price to pay for russia foreign policy. she hopes it doesn't come to that. she said she is counting on the government for help. a year ago, in a working class suburb of moscow she purchased her first apartment. a source of pride for a single mother of three. she said the bank would offer her a mortgage in dollars. >> grab it or we don't give it to you. that's it. >> you decided it was worth it? >> i decided it is better. >> reporter: now her mortgage is twice her monthly salary and she is behind on payments. >> take it like this. >> reporter: plans to remodel

have been put on hold. her family lives in half of the apartment. the rest is a construction site. >> i have to count money right now and decide what to do to spend on food or banks. >> reporter: so marina is taking act action. this is her second protest. are you confident president putin will help you? >> yeah. call me in six months and i'll tell you the result or i'll be on the street. >> reporter: this time of year, the streets of moscow are as cold as russia's economy. for these people it looks like it could be a long winter. erin mclaughlin, cnn moscow. >> desperate scenes there. benjamin netanyahu is speaking out about palestinian efforts on statehood. he spoke about the international

criminal court. abbas applied to the icc earlier this week after the united nations resolution on statehood failed to pass. mr. netanyahu says the palestinian authority is not a state and palestinians have no legal standing to join the icc. >> translator: we expect the international criminal court to dismiss the palestinian authorities duplicitious application because it is connected to hamas and the state of israel has a moral army that keeps all international laws. we will defend israeli soldiers in the same way they protect us. >> a series of attacks on israelis have defense training. some say it is essential to protect from attacks by palestinians. ian lee reports. >> reporter: it may look like

fun, even at times funny. but what these israelis are learning is serious. self defense techniques that could save their lives. today's lessons here are how to defend against a knife attack using kav magra. last year a man went on an attack with a knife. he killed one person and injuryed three others. >> it is empowering that you can control the situation and not at the mercy of whomever shows up with a knife. >> reporter: the goal is not to create rambos but alert capable citizens who train in defensive driving and gun handling. >> the main thing is learning how to become aggressive. if someone is attacking you, you

have to respond with aggression. >> reporter: with the united nations recording more than 200 palestinian attacks against israeli settlers in 2014. self defense training can save lives, but here in the west bank palestinians say they are the ones in need of defense. the u.n. put the number of attacks of over 300 last year. those attacks can turn deadly. in 2011 an israeli settler killed this man's son during an altercation. police investigated the killing, but the case was closed. the prosecutor said for the lack of sufficient evidence. there's no justice in israel fatah tells me. palestinians are attacked and killed every day. his father shows us where the two were killed while planting trees. while defending themselves?

did he have bullets? let's pretend he threw a stone. does he deserve to be shot and killed? back at the self defense class, instructors say anyone looking to take their skills on the offense is not welcome. with the political process in a standoff both sides fearful of the other, neither will remain truly safe. ian lee, cnn, jerusalem. it was supposed to be the happiest day of her life but when this bride was dumped she made a blue day a lot more colorful.
