12:00 am
>> exactly what happened i don't think anybody will really know. except possibly the defendant. plus boko haram swears allegiance to isis, but does isis feel the same? millions of women are still subjected to horrific treatment. and they will sneak to women trying to change that. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is cnn newsroom. it has been one year and still no answers. all we know is that malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared somewhere over the indian ocean.
12:01 am
239 people were on that plane. it was headed from kuala lumpur to beijing. a new report showed that the cap captain and crew showed no odd behavior before the flight took off. cnn is covering the story all around the globe today with our correspondent whose have been following it from the very start. joining me now is anna coren in kuala lumpur and our reporter from beijing. what does the report show? >> reporter: we are getting information about those first hours, days that the confusion, if you like in this search for mh 370. it is pretty much consistent with what we already knew, but we getting sort of blow-by-blow minute by minute as to how this
12:02 am
all unfolded. you make reference to that new bit of information about the pilot and the crew on board mh 370, saying that there were no behavioral changes. they've looked at sensitive footage of the crew and captain on three previous trips and found that there was nothing different in their behavior. they certainly didn't seem seem stressed. there were no financial or personal issues that could have led to the captain or any of the crew members wanting to commit suicide. as we know, this is one of the theories as to what happened to mh 370. but whilst the report doesn't go so far as to say that it clears them all, it certainly insinuates that there was nothing sinister to their behavior that would lead the captain or the crew to do anything untoward to the plane.
12:03 am
but, you know, if the namfamilies were hoping for new details, new information as to the whereabouts of mh 370, they'll be sorely disappointed. families as we know today commemorating the anversery of that ill-fated flight. no trace of them still one year on. >> many believe that the pilot tried to commit suicide. that's been put to rest now what you're telling us and that report is telling us. what does the report tell us about the weather? were there any kind of weather problems that could have impacted the flight? >> reporter: no look weather was never believed to have been a factor. and certainly that has come out in this report as well. this independent, international
12:04 am
organization comprised of some seven bodies air accidents and investigation organizations from the united states the u.k. australia, china, singapore as well as boeing and rolls-royce. they have all contributed to this report as well at malaysians. and they have said that weather was not a factor on that flight. certainly, it did reveal some of the confusion in those early hours. malaysia and vietnam for example had a deal if you like that if a plane entered into the other's airspace that they would contact, you know, within minutes. that did not happen. so when the boeing triple seven moved into vietnam's airspace or failed to there was no alarm, if you like from the vietnamese. that was delayed some 20
12:05 am
minutes. so great deal of confusion that has come through in this report. >> anna coren for us in kuala lumpur. where it's just about four minutes past 4:00 in the afternoon. thanks very much. well the flight was headed to beijing the day it disappeared. tensions with local authorities are rising. our david mckenzie witnessed it. >> reporter: the family members of those on board of mh 370 had planned to come here to this temple to pay their respects one year on. but frankly, there are more police here than family at this point. some of them say they're intimidated. normally i would be able to get through this area. but through here is where there are some family members, maybe about ten, and they're not letting me get inside. just come inside please.
12:06 am
don't touch me. this is this is family members who are trying to grieve. and they're stopping us. 239 people died on this plane, and you're telling me they can't come here to commemorate. >> translator: i just want to know why the police are treating us like this. we didn't do anything illegal. we're just looking for our families. why are they doing this? my husband was on mh 370. it was supposed to land at this time, and never came. just looking for my husband. >> reporter: though they wanted to. could and commemorate one year after mh 370 has vanished they're intimidating the families. and many of the families say they've been detained several times by the chinese authorities, and it's pretty tragic a year on. >> david mckinzie joins me now from beijing. it is pretty tragic.
12:07 am
these families can't grieve still a year on. so many questions and answers. they're waiting for word. how tough has it been on these families? you've been speaking to several families. what are they telling you? >> reporter: it's incredibly tough as you can imagine. this is not just any ordinary tragedy. this is an extraordinary and unprecedented tragedy for these family members. because a year on we know very little. and those answers that have been put out by imarsat and others haven't been trusted by the families. and having the areas swamped with police where they want to grieve it tells you something about the way the communist party operates in general but it shows you what these families are up against. the chinese families through the foreign minister says they will continue supporting the search for as long as it takes.
12:08 am
but up till now, with all this money spent, and all this technology employed there's still no physical proof of what happened to that plane. and so these families have hung onto every conspiracy theory that has been discussed and have very little closure, none at all, in fact. >> absolutely. a year on there is no plane debris. but for the families, there must be a fear as well david that the search is going to stop at some point. >> reporter: well there is. and certainly australian authorities have hinted recently that the search wouldn't go on forever, and it might even wrap up later this year. we don't know at this stage. but i think it's also important that the kind of nuts and bolts things that the family need to do. they need to get death certificates. they need to get insurance, if that is possible for the families. they need to start the process of settling with malaysian airlines if it comes to that to give them some kind of financial
12:09 am
security. many of these families their bread winners were on that plane and they've left them in both financial and emotional limbo, and because of the fact that there's no evidence and the family members are refusing to accept what evidence there is it means they cannot start that process. so they're left in a very difficult space. i just don't know what they're going to do in the coming weeks and months as this mystery continues. but it's a pretty awful situation for them both here in china and around the world. >> indeed david mckenzie for us in beijing. thanks very much david. i want to bring in our aviation correspondent, richard quest, who has been plowing through this report. richard, pages and pages of the interim report what does it show us? >> this is the report and it's 109 pages long, with several
12:10 am
hundred pages of logs. and this is the kind of report one would have expected. it goes into the detail of the aircraft, the systems, how they operated their manufacturer. their maintenance. were there any problems. and so far there seems to be nothing wrong with the aircraft its oxygen supply its radios its satellite communications. nothing wrong with the fuel. it had enough fuel for the entire jjourney. what we're seeing first of all is that the pilots were in good health and nothing psychologically wrong with them. there was no reason to believe they committed suicide. but also we're getting some father fairly devastating views on how air traffic control between kuala lumpur vietnam, singapore, this complex flight information region who was in control. there's one particular point that i've just been reading
12:11 am
where you're supposed to make a call if a plane doesn't check in within three minutes. here, we had 17 minutes before the plane before they made a call. so what i'm seeing now is absolute confusion on the night and a lack of understanding of what the radar was showing on the night, and that is clearly contributed to the fact that nobody was able to realize where the plane was going. >> yeah so they're clearly putting the idea the theory that we've both had before richard, of the pilot being behind this trying to be a suicide, that's been put to rest. >> no. no. no. i don't think it has. i'm going to interrupt you. you can't put it to rest. you have to still put it on the table, because that are's no evidence one way or the other. what it does is it gets rid of all the nonsense those people who said he was stressed because his wife the captain was
12:12 am
stressed because his wife was leaving him or he was a political activist or the first officer was a loner. it gets rid of all of that. and what it brings it what it boils it down to is there is no evidence upon which you can hang your hat on that theory. but you obviously have to still keep that as a theory since in the views of many it is the most likely theory. >> indeed. thanks for clarifying that richard. but, like you say, a day of confusion there with the air traffic control. richard quest making sense of all the details coming out of this preliminary report that's come out today on mh 370. thanks richard. well are you watching cnn newsroom. and still to come. two murderous groups may soon work together. the connection between boko haram and isis. plus celebrating international women's day and how leaders are trying to reduce

12:16 am
claiming conresponsibility. two arrests have already been made. now the leader of boko haram has announced that it is swearing allegiance to isis. they are trying to create an islamic state in nigeria. the group may be behind a suicide bombing attack on saturday that killed more than 50 people. we have more on what an alliance with isis could mean. >> reporter: a voice claiming to be that of its leader pledged to hear and obey in difficult times and in prosperous times the amir of isis al baghdadi. this will give isis a scope of alleygiance allegiance. and it gives it an opportunity to strike another blow against al qaeda in that battle for
12:17 am
international dominance. boko haram had previously sworn allegiance to hk. it has been pushed out of many of its gains. propaganda gains generally have translated into the lifeblood of foreign recruitment and foreign donations. and boko haram needs that now more than ever. whether that will help it to turn the tide against their african union force remains to be seen. we want to turn your attention to northern iraq. a car bomb killed at least six people saturday and injured dozens more outside a coffee shop. in a separate incident an ied inside a car killed at least one person. this as security forces work to take back tikrit from isis's hold. ben wedeman has the latest.
12:18 am
>> reporter: the offensive to drive isis out is making slow progress. five sunni tribes men and the iraqi army were able to retake a town south east of tikrit. this town was previously an isis stronghold. and sources tell us that isis left behind hundreds of improvised explosive devices. iraqi forces are also advancing on another town north of tikrit. this contrasts dramatically with several chaotic and ultimately catastrophic attempts to retake the city last summer. this new tactic is widely attributed to the involvement of the iranian advisers including the presence of casulemany. he is leading this operation.
12:19 am
and it's the iranian supported fighters who we saw on the front lines seem to be playing the leading role with the iraqi army providing support. against a backdrop of this significant iranian role the u.s.-led coalition is nowhere to be seen. we've seen no reports of any coalition air strikes anywhere near the battlefield. ben wedeman, cnn baghdad. now russian authorities have arrested four men in connection with the murder of boris nemtsov. he was shot to death mean days ago next to the kremlin. all four suspects are said to be ethnic chechens with a long history against moscow. celebrating and empowering women. >> every day should be international women's day in the sense that i kind of want to get to a point in the world where women are seen as equal to men.
12:20 am
>> using powerful words and eye-catching art to inspire women around the world. we have the story on international women's day right here on cnn, after a very short break. [alarms blaring] ohhhhh... whoa whoa whoa! who's responsible for this?!? if something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat. ...rick. it's what you do. ahhhhhhhh! what'd you say? uh-oh! kelly! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. rick. don't walk away from me. ahhhhhhhh! your clever moves won't stop the flu. but practicing healthy habits with lysol can.

he's out there. there's a guy out there whose making a name for himself in a sport where your name and maybe a number are what define you. somewhere in that pack is a driver that can intimidate the intimidator. a guy that can take the king 7 and make it 8. heck. maybe even 9. make no mistake about it. they're out there. i guarantee it. welcome to the nascar xfinity series. welcome back to cnn newsroom. now today is international women's day, a day to celebrate
12:23 am
women's achievements and to call for greater equality. it started when women started for greater pay. we show you why it's good for moms and business. >> reporter: it's welcome news for expectant mothers and a major step for industry. by the end of the year vodafone will increase its maternity leave to 16 weeks full pay and incentivize women to return to work. >> we think this is really good for our business. as he said there are hidden costs to women not returning to work. >> reporter: the benefits will be rolled out across the 30 countries where vodafone operates. in the u.s. and india and africa women there will benefit
12:24 am
most. and actually our women are thrilled that we're doing this. so this makes sense for them and this makes sense for vodafone. >> reporter: but currently, when it comes to maternity pay, the world's biggest economy comes bottom of the list. there are no federal regulations to provide any maternity pay. at the other end of the scale, some of the nordic nations and baltic countries like lithuania, estonia and finland increased their maternity leave. >> there definitely has been progress in the past few years. there are more women in senior management. more women on boards and, you know women actually are more likely to have a degree.
12:25 am
>> reporter: but offering women more time off after birth is only part of the solution. >> in sweden they have parental leave, which means that fathers have to take leave as well as mothers, and that equals out the playing field, so men are leaving the workforce as well as women. >> reporter: when if comes to the financial cost vodafone says if everyone followed its example, businesses could save $19 billion a year. >> i want to bring in a senior representative from amnesty international. there is a lot to celebrate without a doubt, in terms of women's accomplishments, but there still is a lot of work that needs to go and plenty of concern. i want to ask you about the prevalence of violence against women. and i'm thinking here in specific boko haram. >> mm-hm. >> what concerns you, when you
12:26 am
look at the world right now and prevalence of violence what's your biggest worry? how much change has there been or how very little change has there been? >> well there certainly are some advances. there are more laws banning violence against women in countries around the globe. that is no doubt. but violence against women is a consistent problem. and one in three women across the globe will have experienced some form of violence throughout through their lifetime. and that's true in every single region of the world. so it's a huge problem that needs to be tackled. we also have problems related to women's health care. 800 women die every day from pregnancy-related causes. and most of them are preventible. 225 million women have an unmet need for contraceptives. they want contraceptives but they just cannot access them because of financial reasons or they live too far from a clinic for example. there is so much more that we
12:27 am
can be doing so that women can realize their rights >> how incredible in this day and age that we're still talking about this in terms of health care for women not having support there for them. i find you know i know we talked about boko haram, but in very basic term education, many women still going without an education in africa. then you've got health. then you have extreme violence and now you've also seen extremism in parts of the world and in particular iraqi women being used by isis, is that correct? ? >> well women living in conflict zones are technically vulnerable to violence especially those women living under the control of extremist groups like isis. they're basically viewed as trophies or they're targets of persecution. last year amnesty international had a report documenting the
12:28 am
torture, including rape and sexual slavery of yazidi women in northern iraq by isis forces. they're basically sold into sexual slavery, or they're forced into marriage. and those women that can escape come out, and they have very few resources to help them get rehabilitated. there's very little medical care. there is very little psychological services. their communities are not very supportive because of the stigma around rape. so rape is considered you know a dishonor to the family. so a lot of these girls and women can't even speak about it. and i think the u.n. governments, such as humanitarian agencies can do a lot more to de-stigmatize rape and offer services to these girls. >> a lot of work without a doubt still needs to be done. thank you very much. >> thank you. hundreds of family members and friends have spent the last year waiting for any news on the flight. one passenger's wife refuses to give up.
12:29 am
we'll hear her story after break.
12:30 am
12:31 am
welcome back to cnn newsroom. here's an update of the top stories we're following for you this hour. the leader of boko haram has declared allegiance to isis through an online recording. an expert says the partnership will help with funding and recruitment. in the latest violence blamed on boko haram, more than 50 people died in a suicide attack in nigeria. at least seven foreign nationals have been kidnapped in libya. the national oil corporation of libya says it warned the company weeks ago to leave the south because of security concerns.
12:32 am
in eastern ukraine both rebels and ukrainian troops say they have with drawn all heavy weapons from the front line. still, ukrainian rebels carried out 46 attacks between friday and saturday. and in wisconsin protesters have taken to the streets after a police officer shot an unarmed african-american teenager. the man attacked the officer who was reporting to a disturbance at a home friday night. but now our top story. a new interim report claims inclim ents weather was not a factor in the disappearance of mh 370. the report found that both the captain and crew show no signs of odd behavior before the flight took off. there was some theories that the captain wanted to end his own life and led the plane in the wrong direction intentionally.
12:33 am
but officials now say there is no evidence he was suicidal. the report also revealed there were no signs of unusual engine behavior. now flight 370 was headed for beijing when it disappeared off the radar. our own david mckinzie is there live for us this hour. david, let me ask you this. how are the families reacting to this interim report that has been released? >> reporter: well at least one person family member we've spoken to says they don't believe the report or what is in it. and as we've already discussed, it seems like the report doesn't bring necessarily much new to the investigation. it's rather a detailed summary of what in general we knew already. but there's been this disconnect between the family members mostly here in china and the malaysian authorities from very early on. you remember just a week or so after the plane went down or after the plane went missing,
12:34 am
they announced that it had gone down. and some of them receive thad in a text message. i think from that point on there was a major lack of trust between the family members and the malaysian government, the malaysian airlines authorities. i spoke to one family member who's somewhat a leader of the group, and he said this. >> well we want them to keep on searching, search and rescue for the plane. and we want them to release other things which they are still hiding. >> reporter: so is there any trust between the family and the authorities in malaysia now? >> no. never. >> reporter: so the hard thing will be if there isn't anything found, no amount of data or satellite analysis will satisfy the family members. they want physical proof. and there still are many conspiracy theories that they
12:35 am
are hanging on to a weekly basis. to a person the family members here in china say they believe their loved ones are alive and that they are coming back which is of course very tragic and extremely difficult for them to move on in any way whatsoever. >> yeah and i'm sure this report doesn't help them with that. but let me ask you this. a year on david, there is no plane debris. and there is a fear that the search will stop. what are families telling you about that? what are they saying in terms of the search? because i know you said there's a lack of trust in authorities at the moment. >> reporter: well they do want the search to continue and i have to say that lack of trust doesn't necessarily translate to the australian authorities who have had a bit more trust. certainly, the chinese foreign minister said today, just hours ago, that the chinese expect the search to go on until they have results. so you have the backing of the chinese central government even
12:36 am
if the police on the streets have been at times harassing the family here because of the power they hold as a group in communist party china. but with the search going on now, they believe maybe they will have some kind of answers. if the search stops, it's very difficult to imagine how they will cope with that if at all. >> david mckenzie for us in beijing. thanks very much. now some family members refuse to give up hope that their loved ones are out there somewhere. you heard david mckenzie pointing to exactly that. anna coren joins me now from kuala lumpur. there are very few clues as to what could have happened. where are we on the search effort? >> reporter: yeah, we have heard from authorities in the last few
12:37 am
days that the search will continue but there is a caveat around that that of course being this priority search zone that is currently being scoured. 23,000 square miles in the southern indian ocean, 1,000 nautical miles off western australia. they are more than 40% through that area using four ships, sonar equipment. the terrain, as we know extremely challenging. we're talking about underwater mountains, volcanos trenches 4,000 meters deep. the concern, as you have referenced is that the families are fearful that if nothing is found in this priority search zone the search will be called off. yes, we heard from the malaysiaen prime minister this morning saying that the search will continue but when we press the transport minister a few days ago on that particular issue, he say, look we have to get to the end of this search
12:38 am
reevaluate with the experts to find out if we can go go forward, because really essentially, if it's not there, they don't know where it is. they will have to go back to the drawing board, reevaluate this analysis and look for a new search zone. already $120 million has been put into this by australia and malaysia. that is how much money has gone into the kitty for this search. china, listening to what david said then china wants the search to continue. well china has not in actual fact put in any money to this search. yes, they put in some assets and ships, but in actual fact there are no funds, per se for the actual search in the southernip yan ocean. now one of the families that we spoke to danika weeks whose husband paul was on that plane, she is terrified the search will
12:39 am
not continue and she will never get any answers. on a simple chain around her neck danika weeks wears her most precious possession. >> it may be the only piece i have of him that's so close to us. >> reporter: on march 7, last year, her husband kissed the family good-bye and asked her to look after his wedding ring. he was heading to a mine site in mongolia and said if anything happened to him the ring would go to the son who boarded first. the next day, he worded mh 370. >> my life stopped that day. and that's what i remember of my life. i'm purely now just existing. i wouldn't call it coping. it's existing. >> reporter: for 12 months the mother of two has been desperately searching for answers, unable to come to terms with the fact her husband is gone. >> you create your own scenarios in your head and you can't be
12:40 am
able to think that someone, you know your best friend your amazing husband, you know the father of my children went through any of that. i want that for him, and it's the not knowing that really destroys you. . >> reporter: da nika knows the likelihood of paul walking through the door is slim. but she holds onto eternal hope. >> i think if he comes back it would be amazing. for our kids. they're growing so much. they change. it was 11 months when paul left and we're coming up to his second birthday on the 9th of april. >> reporter: danika weeks has been very critical of the way the malaysians have handled this crisis saying their lack of transparency has been just as appalling as the insensitive
12:41 am
treatment families. and while the search for mh 3070 continues, she is terrified that if nothing is found the search will be called off. >> where does that leave us? we can't move beyond mh 370. they may be able to, but they don't come home to an empty house and two children. and they're legally and morally contracted or committed to finding them and bringing them all home for us and that's what they should do. >> reporter: when was this done? >> this was done -- >> reporter: with mementos of pauls scattered around the house, danika refuses to accept she may never know what happened to her husband. >> i'll never stop searching for him. he gave everything to us. he's amazing. and so if i know if the shoe was
12:42 am
on the other foot, he wouldn't stop looking for me. and i'll never stop looking for him either. >> reporter: it's just unbearable pain and grief that these families are going through every single day. and it's just heartbreaking that these families have no answers as to what happened to their loved ones. >> yeah. anna coren there for us in kuala lumpur. thank you very much, anna. it's so difficult to watch that. still to come here on cnn newsroom commemorating a dark day in american history with words of hope and inspiration. the 50th anniversary of bloody sunday. that's next. nnouncer ] you're smart about protecting your identity. but you can't control everything. it seems like every day there's another data breach, like this one in the news right now. according to a recent study, one in three consumers who received data-breach notifications became victims of identity theft. so be ready in case your personal information gets compromised with identity-theft protection from lifelock,

woolite darks. thanks very much for staying with us right here on cnn. now tens of thousands of people rallied in israel pulling for a change in government in national elections that take place on march 17. most want benjamin netanyahu replaced. >> reporter: this rally was really born out of discontent, perhaps even aengnger with the current administration and benjamin netanyahu. thousands filled the central square of tel aviv to express the discontent with politics as it stands today in israel.
12:46 am
protesters were pro-netanyahu, and they've shifted, particularly on big issues such as security and the economy. headlining this year is the former head of massad. he has been very outspoken and a critic of netanyahu. he hasn't seen this level of stagnation and frustration before and that's why he's calling for a change. at the same time it's very important to remember that benjamin netanyahu has very broad support here in israel. and these elections are shaping up to be very close. so even for all of these people here these are still shaping up to be very close elections. and because of the way israeli politics work and the ca necessary et works it's still possible netanyahu could be the next prime minister. president obama says he's grad his former secretary of

now the annual iditarod dog race got under way on saturday but there was one tiny little problem -- there wasn't any snow! meteorologist derek van dam is at the world weather center. why, are temperatures not that cold? >> just not cold enough but nothing that 500 truck loads of the white stuff couldn't solve. this is actually the total snow coverage in alaska. what we had was the ceremonial start to the iditarod dogsled race taking place in anchorage. but there was less than an inch of snow on the ground if any in most places. so they had to truck in all of the snowfall from a few hundred miles to the north. the race traditionally starts on the first saturday in march, starting in anchorage and ending
