some the worst is still to come. >> the world markets are facing a cold spell of their own as oil prices continue to dive. >> that's right. and in some places the gas prices are so low gas station owners say they're losing money. >> when we're selling the gas at a loss at the pump if you don't come inside and buy something then we didn't make anything. it actually cost us money. we paid for part of your gas. >> hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> hey there, rosemary. good to see you. and i am errol barnett.

harsh weather is once quen again keeping divers out of the water in the search for airasia flight 8501. >> crews are searching 45,000 square kilometers of the java sea by air and in the water. officials have not announced any new debris recovered today but they displayed seats and other debris pulled earlier from the water. so far they've not found the plane's main body or the data recorders. let's bring in our anna coren. she joins us live at the crisis center in surabaya indonesia. surabaya of course where the flight originated. anna we've been following every twist and turn of this tragedy for ten days now. but what's the newest information you have in the updates on the recovery operation? >> reporter: well errol, we just heard from the disaster victim identification unit that they have named three victims. three men range from age 19 through to 61.

these are the latest victims who have been identified. taking the number to 16 identified. we had word there were three other bodies that had been identified. they were not media. number retrieved is 37. that remains the status quo. however, they have spot two-day other bodies in the java sea. because of bad conditions out there as it has been the case now for days helicopters are able to pick up those bodies take them back to the bangalanbon military base and taken here to surabaya handed over to the d.v.i. unit which goes through the painstaking task of trying to piece together who these people are and i.d. them so that the families can then have these bodies and then bury them properly. it's a very slow difficult

process, but this is how it is. it has to be scientific so that they make sure that the right body is given to the right family. it's now ten days into the search and we know that the bodies are decomposing out in the water and speaking to the dvi team they are concerned that in the coming days the bodies are just going to be in a worse state than what they've received in the last few days. but as far as that search and recovery if it goes well we know that there are ships and planes out there searching for wreckage. four main objects have been spotted using sonar equipment. another object was spotted late yesterday. there was speculation it may have been the tail of the plane. however, that is new speculation. we haven't had any confirmation whatsoever from indonesian authorities. but as you can imagine, errol, everyone here especially the

families desperate to find the wreckage because it's believed that the majority of the passengers are there still strapped in their seat belts at the bottom of the java sea. >> so much to go through. anna coren live from surabaya, indonesia. thank you. >> too grim to bear. there were 138 adults on airasia flight 8501. 16 children and one infant. well now the loved ones they leave behind share a common agony. >> that's right. some of the families sat down with our gary tuchman to talk about their grief and share some memories of their loved ones. >> reporter: as most families wait for their loved ones to be found, these are the caskets of a mother and daughter two victims of airasia flight 8501. several days ago we talked with this brother and sister who were among those waiting. >> translator: my mother and then my sister and my brother-in-law and his whole

family and my in-law to be. so in total seven people. >> reporter: but today they wait for five people because this mother temeji tadakasumu and her 10-year-old daughter are two of the seven. >> translator: i am devastated. and now the waiting for the rest of the family is so difficult. >> reporter: please accept our condolences. i'm sorry. the sister and her brother had hoped for a miracle for days. in this family picture this is daughter stevie and mother tay. all are now realizing that miracle is not going to happen. >> translator: i am very sad. even up until now i cannot accept it. >> reporter: this is a traditional buddhist funeral visitation. mourners pay their respects at a candlelit altar in front of the coffins. family and friends fold up hundreds of pieces of paper, which are ultimately thrown into

fire to represent money, which will symbolically provide for mother and daughter in the afterlife. stevie turned 10 years old two weeks before the trip she was so looking forward to. her mother would have turned 45 six days after the accident. >> translator: my sister was a businesswoman. she worked hard. she was kind to everybody. >> reporter: he tells us about little stevie. >> translator: stevie was a very cheerful girl. she brightens up everyone she's around. everyone loves her. >> reporter: their funeral is at the end of the week. but at the same time brother and sister mourn the other five including their mother the matriarch of the family 81-year-old joindri. >> translator: i cannot accept this. i cannot believe it. where are my family's bodies? where is my mother? my heart is breaking.

>> reporter: gary tuchman, cnn, surabaya, indonesia. >> and as anna coren explained earlier, the grim task of identifying bodies goes on. the more time that passes of course the harder their task becomes. later in the show we will speak with an expert on victim identification. all right. let's take a look at markets now. a big question. will tuesday be a rebound day on wall street? you see how it ended monday down nasdaq and s&p 500 futures are now trending higher we should mention during the overnight hours here in the u.s. but this follows a blue money for blue chips. the dow industrials dropped 331 points losing about 2% of their value. the nasdaq and s&p 500 posted similar percentage drops following a down day in europe. and most of the big asia pacific markets felt the sting left over from the u.s. and europe. the trading day has already

ended across the region but you see quite a big drop there in tokyo by more than 3% although the shanghai composite up fractionally at the moment. now, at first glance this global sell-off seems most closely tied to the sharp and quick drop in oil prices. maybe you've been enjoying cheap gas at the pumps, but as our richard quest explains it's a bit more complicated than that. >> reporter: the fear is that the wheels on the global economy and certainly the european economy may well and truly be coming off the wagon. so if this is our wagon and it is literally trundling along at the moment this is global growth, well the first one of course is the possibility of greek elections and the possibility of a euro zone break-up or at least greece with its election on the 25th of january. the anti-austerity party is leading in the polls.

and if they are elected they are hoping to negotiate or renegotiate the bailout package. that's bad enough. you've then got the euro zone. deflation fears have risen sharply. german inflation came in at 1/10 of 1%. it's almost on the verge of deflation. and with that in mind and with these two factors euro touched a nine-year low against the dollar. $1.19. oil prices a full-blown crisis in oil is taking place at the moment. as the price has now fallen under $50 a barrel for one of the brent and 54 for west texas intermediate intermediate. and then of course russia. a crisis for one of the world's most significant economies. the french president francois hollande says sanctions could be lifted if there is progress in what's been happening. put all this together and --

that is what happens to your wagon. a manhunt is under way in new york city after two police officers were shot. both officers are expected to survive. police were looking for two suspects. at least one of them suffered a gunshot wound when officers fired back. a man with a gunshot wound has showed up at a hospital emergency room but police have not spoken to him yet. the police commissioner describes how the shootings unfolded. >> five officers who work as a team were near end of shift and were at the precinct station house when the call came in about the robbery. all five officers immediately ran out of the station house, got in the police vehicle, and were responding to the earlier robbery call when we believe they encountered two individuals who they thought were potential

suspects in that earlier robbery based on the descriptions. and again we have extensive video from the various locations we're reviewing. but again, as the mayor referenced they performed courageously this evening. they literally went running out of the station precinct house to respond to that robbery scene. >> a $10,000 reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunmen. this comes about two weeks after two other officers were fatally shot in their patrol cars in brooklyn. an avalanche in austria killed two prospects from the u.s. ski team. ronnie berlack and bryce astell were training with four others when the avalanche struck on monday. the others managed to ski out of the slide. it's unclear whether berlack and astle were wearing avalanche gear. firefighters on high alert as they battle a raging bush

fire in south australia amid rising temperatures there. the blaze, which has been burning in adelaide hills since friday, has already scorched more than 12,000 hectares of land. south australia's premier says up to 38 homes have been destroyed. well one of the world's most famous churches turned off its lights. the gesture at the cologne cathedral in germany was to protest increasingly large anti-muslim demonstrations across the country organized by a group that says it's trying to stop the islamization of germany. still to come for you here on cnn, a young girl must now cope with her family's death after she was the sole survivor of a small plane crash. we'll also hear from another sole survivor more than 25 years on. and emphatic denials to claims of an underage sex ring. what buckingham palace and a prominent u.s. attorney are saying. that's ahead. then later, amazing video of

mudslides from washington state, forcing dozens of people from their homes. just listen to what one woman experienced. >> i heard a big crack, and the trees come down and they just cracked and boomed.

welcome back. jordan's prince ali ben al hussein says he will seek the fifa presidency this year. the current vice president for football's governing body

announced his plans in a statement. he wrote, "i believe it's time to shift the focus away from administrative controversy and back to sport." he added the world game deserves a world-class governing body, an international federation that is a service organization, and a model of ethics transparency and good governance. plus he added, the headlines should be about football the beautiful sport, not about fifa. the prince is the third son of the late king hussein of jordan. well relatives will now raise a 7-year-old girl who was the sole survivor of a plane crash that killed her parents, sister, and cousin in kentucky. mental health experts say the family is doing what it can to make sailor gutzler feel sxaf loved. experts say it's a simple but critical act that can help her grapple with the tragedy. the plane went down over the weekend. sailor walked away from that crash to a home nearly a mile

away for help. >> now, sailor's story is amazing. authorities do not know how they survived the initial crash, let alone the walk, but it's not the first time something like this has happened. dan simon has the story of another sole survivor. >> i remember feeling angry and survivor's guilt. why didn't my brother survive? why didn't anybody -- you know why me? >> reporter: if there's anyone who can relate to what 7-year-old sailor gutzler is going through as the lone survivor of a plane crash, it's this woman. >> good evening. more than 140 people died at detroit's metro airport tonight. >> a light dc-9 crashed shortly after takeoff. >> reporter: cecilia sheehan was 4 years old when she survived the crash of northwest flight 255. the phoenix-bound plane went down on august 16th, 1987 moments after taking off from detroit. >> saw a chair thats wlag upside down and we picked up the chair and underneath it was little

cecelia, the survivor prrpt cecelia lost her parents and 6-year-old brother. about a third of her body suffered burns. she has rarely spoken publicly about the crash but was among those profiled in the cnn documentary "sole survivor." >> i got this tattoo. this is a reminder of where i've come from. and i see it as you know like so many things scars, whatever were put on my body against my will. and i decided to put this on my body for myself. i think that me surviving was random. i just happened to be in the right place at the right time. >> reporter: still experts say biology and physics may play a role too in helping children survive a crash. >> a child has several advantages in a crash environment. their bones are more pliable. so they can withstand forces higher forces without fracture. >> reporter: cecelia now in her 30s was raised by an aunt and

uncle who helped her maintain privacy. >> i'm happily married to my high school sweetheart. i'm studying to get my master's in art therapy. i am happy. i'm just -- i've never been happier. i think about the accident every day. it's kind of hard not to think about it. >> reporter: but she has never been to the flight memorial. >> the family members of flight 255, they know that i like to be private. they understand that i don't want to be in the spotlight. >> reporter: and today cecelia says she has no fears about stepping on an airplane. >> flying doesn't scare me. i have this mentality where if it happened to me once if something bad happened to me once on a plane it's not going to happen again, like the odds are astronomical. >> reporter: one of the more touching aspects of cecelia's story involve the firefighters who helped rescue her from the crash site. you saw him briefly in the

piece. they've stayed in touch. cecelia says he is the link between her before and after. he went to her wedding and they danced at her reception. dan simon, cnn, san francisco. 162 people were on board airasia flight 8501. now their families are waiting for the bodies to be identified. we will look at the tough work ahead for those responsible for identifying the dead.

look at this amazing video out of washington state. as you can see, entire homes being moved off their foundations. severe weather caused several mudslides in one neighborhood. up to 300 people were escorted from their homes after being stranded by the slide since early monday. at least three homes were knocked off their foundations. so far we haven't heard of any injuries which is good news. >> certainly. firefighters in chicago needed extra time to put out this blaze on monday, and that's because the fire hydrants were frozen. workers from the water department had to be called to the scene to help pull them out. the wave of brutally cold weather in the u.s. is expected to continue all week. >> just horrible. and chicago is one of those places which will be hard pressed to see much in the way of warmth of course in the coming days. let's go tower meteorologist pedram javaheri who joins us with some information on the temperatures and if there's any

respite ahead. >> not anytime soon. not until at least early next week it looks like. so it's not going to be a long duration of that when it's several weeks at a time. we've seen that in the past. but for chicago you notice the high temperatures. these are the actual high temperatures in fahrenheit. 11 is what it warms up to on tuesday. gets up to zero fahrenheit, which is about minus 18 degrees celsius across chicago on wednesday. notice that line up here that's the average temperature. 42 fahrenheit 0 celsius. stays below that for the next seven, potentially for the next ten days across this region. massive area of high pressure is the culprit. typically calms the weather down and reduces capabilities for any sort of clouds and weather to form across this region. so as it sits there, generally clear skies with those temperatures closing in at zero for a high. minus 45 below zero for wind chills across this region. for about 3 1/2 million people in the upper midwest in the northern plains of the united states anytime you have wind chill this cold frostbite a major issue. 10 minutes of exposure gives you

frostbite at minus 30. get down to minus 50 we had that in portions of minnesota on monday five minutes of exposure frostbite becomes an issue. 30 million people on wednesday morning are going to wake up to temperatures at 0 or colder. minus 18 again celsius. wind chill at this hour generally in the lower single digits by the early morning hours of tuesday. say, 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. could feel as cold as 23 below zero across chicago. gets even colder come wednesday morning. nearly 30 below zero. look at northern portions there of the united states. also southern canada. minus 45 to minus 50 a possibility for the wind chill. you put it in comparison to what's going on in antarctica it is the summer season but minus 14 in priestly glacier, antarctica. colder in international falls in minnesota. even green bay comparable temperatures to spots across antarctica. minneapolis colder than spots in antarctica. chicago impressive stuff.

the cold air makes it to atlanta. go from 53 on tuesday down to 37 degrees. the overnight temperatures could be in the teens, which is about 9 to 8 degrees below zero across atlanta on the celsius scale. look at boston new york city. all these temperatures conducive for snow accumulations. we think that will be a probability across this region and again the forecast remains rather cold for a couple of days to the south. leave you with some footage coming out of the state of sonora in mexico. snow accumulations in recent days across portions of northern mexico. we know the federal highway between sonora and chi wah-wah closed to traffic because of the snow accumulations. warming trend across that region expected. that's the latest here in weather. we'll have more news coming up soon.

you are still watching cnn. thanks so much for staying with us. i'm errol barnett. >> and i'm rosemary church. we do want to check the main headlines right now. divers searching for airasia flight 8501 have had to call off their search again today because of bad weather. on land officials have identified six more bodies that have been pulled from the java sea. that makes a total of 19 bodies identified so far. two new york police officers were shot while responding to a robbery call. both officers are expected to survive. police say one of the two suspects may have been shot in an exchange of gunfire. a $10,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to their arrest and conviction. jordan's prince ali ben al hussein says he will seek the fifa presidency this year. the current vice president for football's governing body announced his plans in a statement. he wrote, "i believe it is time to shift the focus away from

administrative controversy and back to sport." now, here's something most americans thought they'd metaphor see again. look closely. gasoline at just under -- what is that? $1.43 a gallon? this is afrom a station at crawfordsville indiana. indiana among a growing number of states averaging under $2 a gallon for the first time in years, helping many many people, rosemary. let's just admit to the world, you and i have electric vehicles among many other cars. so not hitting us as much. but gas guzzlers -- >> aware of it. absolutely. and these lower gas prices are tied to a big drop in the price of crude oil. >> that's right. you've got some other factors at play here as well though. let's go ahead and bring in jim bolden from cnn london. jim, we're the electric heads of the room at the moment. but other factors over there. maybe you're a petrol guzzler. i'm not sure. you're in london. you're probably walking around. but you know, what were the other factors at play here?

because we know traders are anxious at these time and drivers around the world are giddy. what's really happening? >> well we have obviously a great amount of supply of oil. a lot of countries are pumping as much as they can because they think the price will continue to fall. so they want to be able to sell now. and so instead of doing the reverse, which would be to take some of the oil off the market for the price to rise they're assuming prices will continue to fall below where they are now, so you pump more. also you have the idea the fear we may be going through another global recession. certainly here the euro zone is not growing very much. and so the idea is that maybe as we go through 2015 you'll see less demand as well and then you get more of a glut so the price continues to fall. it's a lot of fear in the market right now. of course you say, errol, some people benefit from, it but you see oil companies doing less exploration. you see them cutting jobs. you see a lot of people whose

jobs are tied to energy are at risk. so it's not all a panacea despite the fact you're paying less at the pump. >> and it also changes the landscape somewhat with oil continuing to be cheaper. some predict that it will continue to move southward. last hour you and i chatted about the possibility of $30 a barrel. but what would the world look like if oil continues to slide? >> well here in the euro area in the euro zone in europe they talk a lot about deflation, worries about deflation. they barely have any inflation. so you have the oil price continuing to fall. that will continue to see prices dropping. and thavg changes behavior in what people do. some people won't buy today. they might wait another week to see the price going down. and that's of course a classic definition of inflation. you see less investment into oil and energy other areas. sow might see large projects being put on hold being put on ice, and that of course would impact companies. you see the price of shares

falling of big oil majors. if you're holding shares of those, and that's why we've seen some of the indices of the last few days falling. this morning actually the ftse's up a little as it opens. maybe we're seeing a slight rebound there. but you do get ramifications in many many areas. and as i say, it's the speed of the fall of the oil prices. we've seen oil very elastic. it rises and falls all the time. we've seen it much much higher and lower than it is now. even in the last five years. but the speed of the fall is what concerns economists. >> as we look at asia markets not too long ago the shanghai composite is up this hour fractionally too. perhaps you're suggesting we've seen the ends of this pullback this emotional pullback at the end of the year. >> with the nikkei down 3% it's the worst one day the nikkei has seen in 15 months. >> very true. >> maybe what we're seeing is people are choosing where to sell and narz to yift in. you see the u.s. dollar doing extremely well u.s. treasuries

doing extremely well shanghai up 15% in 2014. maybe it's a way of people picking and choosing where to put their money to do well setting the tone for the first quarter of to-2015 which it looks like the nikkei is not the place to be and some european markets are not the place to be. >> jim boulden just past 8:30 in london. thanks. buckingham palace is taking an unusually outspoken approach to allegations of prince andrew's involvement with an underage girl. the charges stem from a lawsuit against a u.s. billionaire and as max foster reports the denials are emphatic. >> reporter: when there's scandal at the palace it usually goes quiet. not this time though. not one but awn precedentn unprecedented four statements issued in

response to a lawsuit allegeing print andrew had sex with an underaged girl several times in three years from 1999 to 2002. even went as far as specifically naming his accuser. saying "it is emphatically denied that his royal highness the duke of york had any form of sexual contact or relationship with virginia roberts. the allegations are false and without any foundation." roberts, referred to as jane doe 3 in court papers filed last week, alleges that heshe was kept as a sex slave for three years by the prince's form friend billionaire businessman and convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. during this time roberts claimed she was forced to have sexual relations with the prince when she was a minor. in london new york and on epstein's private island in the u.s. virgin islands. in an orgy with numerous

underaged girls. according to the court filing epstein told roberts to give the prince whatever he demanded and required and to report back to him on the details. the prince had come under harsh criticism for his friendship with epstein back in 2011. he later resigned as an ambassador for british trade. according to the court documents, roberts says epstein routinely lent her to powerful figures for sex, including well-known criminal defense attorney alan dershowitz. cnn doesn't normally name alleged victims of sexual abuse. but in this case roberts opted to go public giving an interview to a british tabloid, and in a statement reacting to the denials from dershowitz prince andrew and epstein roberts insists that she will pursue all available recourse saying "these types of aggressive attacks are exactly the reason why sexual abuse victims typically remain silent." and that she's not going to be "bullied back into silence." whatever the truth, this alleged

sex scandal threatens the reputation not just of the prince but of the monarchy. the palace was quick to dismiss a suggestion that roberts had met the queen, saying there was no record of it. max foster, cnn. >> and as max mentioned, prominent u.s. defense attorney alan dershowitz is also named in this filing. in an interview with our hala gorani he emphatically denied ever meeting virginia roberts. >> total and complete lie. as far as the planes are concerned, there are flight manifests and they will prove i was never on any private airplane with any young women. she's just lying through her teeth the way she lied what she said bill clinton was at an orgy at jeffrey epstein's island. secret service records of course show bill clinton never set foot on the island. just the way she lied when she claimed that she had met the queen. she has a criminal record for theft and stealing. she was found to be a liar by the prosecutors and detective

when they investigated a complaint. she had made -- nobody believed a word she says about anybody or anything -- >> have you ever met -- >> categorically, absolutely made it all up. never met her. didn't -- >> have you ever met jane doe number 3? >> no. >> so you don't have any memory any recollection of having met this young lady? >> no i have a superb memory. i have a memory of not having met her. i don't have just a memory of not having -- i did not meet her. i did not -- and believe me i remember everybody i've ever had sex with. i'm not that old that i would forget. i did not have any sexual contact whatsoever under any circumstances. she made the whole thing up out of whole cloth. i can prove it by flight records. i can prove it by my travel records. and if the lawyers, these sleazy unprofessional unethical lawyers, paul cassell and brad edwards, if they had just done an hour of research and work they would have seen

that she is lying through her teeth. >> now, dershowitz says his legal team is preparing disbarment and disciplinary papers against roberts' attorneys. we'll keep you posted. let's take a very short break now. but still to come here on cnn, a new campaign is under way to strip away the stigma of ebola and connect the people who have survived the deadly virus. plus something completely different for you. details on a new app that allows you to replace your passwords with a selfie.

in boston jury selection

continues today in a trial that will likely bring back a lot of painful memories. 21-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev is facing 30 federal charges related to the boston marathon bombing. the trial itself is expected to begin january 26th. cnn's chris welch has details. >> reporter: for the next two days as jury selection for the boston marathon bombing trial continues, approximately 400 potential jurors a day will continue filling out questionnaires. a select few will return next week for direct questioning. they'll be narrowed down to a final jury of 12 plus six alternates. u.s. officials revealed today that a plea deal to avoid the death penalty was opposed by the justice department. so the trial and jury selection continues as planned. >> that means all 12 of those jurors and all 6 of those alternates have to make it clear that they would be open to the death penalty.

not that they will in fact impose it. they'll get bounced off the jury if they say anything like that. but that they'll follow the rules, all the criteria, and that they would be open to it if he's convicted on any one of those 17 counts. [ explosion ] >> reporter: tsarnaev is accused of teaming with his brother to detonate two bombs at the finish line of the boston marathon killing three people and injuring more than 260 others. he also faces charges for the death of an m.i.t. police officer killed while dzhokhar and his older brother tamerlan were on the run. the trial is expected to take several months. when arguments begin, defense attorneys are expected to characterize tsarnaev as an impressionable teenager who was manipulated by his older brother. >> a lot of discussions about was he impressionable or was he evil in and of himself really have nothing to do with guilt or innocence. they're going to have to do with whether he spends the rest of his life in jail or the death

penalty. >> reporter: in boston i'm chris welch reporting. britain's health secretary says a scottish nurse battling ebola is in critical but stable condition at a london hospital. doctors diagnosed pauline kavoky last week with the virus and her health deteriorated a few days later. she had been helping ebola patients in sierra leone. she has taken an experimental drug and received plasma from survivors of the disease. we don't often hear about survivors of ebola. the crisis in west africa illustrated with cold and bleak numbers we have to constantly remind you of. but a new campaign is reaching out with a simple but powerful message. i survived ebola. jim clancy reports. >> reporter: they are ordinary people telling extraordinary stories. she says "it never occurred to

me that i would survive. suffering from ebola, you're more convinced of your death than your life." she tells how she drank the water water, she took the medicine. of nine people in her family six died including her father in a bed right next to her. but fear is not her message. "it's true," she says "you can die of ebola, but it's also true you can survive." fonta is one of some 30 individuals who will be part of a media campaign titled "i survived ebola." it carries the images and voices of survivors to newspapers television radio, the zmrnths mobile phones. >> we realized early on in our strategy that the biggest untapped resource in this fight against ebola is survivors themselves. survivors offer three things. they offer inspiration and hope. they can share actual facts that saved their lives that will

allow others to save their own lives and the lives of their communities. and lastly they can help tackle the profound issue of stigma. imagine surviving this disease and then not being welcomed back into your community. >> reporter: their stories kirnlg encourage people to educate themselves not rely on faith healers. some voices are working in ebola clinics helping patients and medical workers alike. while the reality in numbers is stark, with 20,000 cases and a death toll of more than 8,000, "i survived ebola" is a campaign that offers hope and resilience. key, the critical work of assisting survivors to reintegrate into their communities, says its creator. >> if we do it well we can move from i survived ebola to together we survived ebola. >> reporter: in west africa that would be cause for celebration. jim clancy, cnn. and there is some progress being made in the fight against
