one year later, loved ones, officials and the rest of the world look for answers and closure regarding flight mh370. alliance of terror, boko haram pledges allegiance to isis. and russian officials continue to make arrests in the killing of nemtsov. welcome to our viewers around the world. this is cnn newsroom.

it has been one year and still no answers. all we know is that malaysia airlines disappeared somewhere over the indian ocean. 239 people were on board the plane from kuala lumpur to beijing. not a trace of wreckage has been found so far. a new report found today that both the captain and the crew showed no signs of odd behavior before the flight took off and no signs of inclement weather. cnn is covering this story with our correspondents who have been across developments from the very start. richard quest is in los angeles. david mckenzie is in beijing for us and anna is in kuala lumpur. richard, you've been looking at this report. what does it tell us that we didn't already know before? it tells us everything and it tells us nothing. it sort of clears mysteries up.

for instance the question about the pilot's health. it makes it quite clear that the captain was neither anxious, nor depressed, nor was his home life collapsing and that he didn't seem to be under stress and was handling life well. same for the first officer. it tells us the plane was maintained properly the oxygen supply was working correctly. and it tells us substantially that everything that we've already known about it is now confirmed. we've got great detail about how this flight progressed. what we don't have is anything -- and i mean anything -- about what happened or where the plane is. but isa, if you want to know where the real scandal in the report is this is it. these are blow by blow air traffic control logs from the night. more than 120 pages -- beg your pardon. more than 250 pages of logs. and what they show is that as

the plane was disappearing off into the south indian ocean, calls were going backwards and forwards. have you seen it? do you know where it is? why haven't you called them? who have you called? who should we call next? meanwhile, a separate report shows the radar data there was plenty of it. and what clearly happened was a massive failure of civilian and military radar along with air traffic control that didn't control this incident but allowed it to degenerate into the mess that it became. >> let me ask you this as well richard. i was reading the underwater locator beacon battery had expired a year before the plane disappeared. what's the significance of this? >> well it's hard to tell. because we don't really know how these things -- the underwater locator beacons, according to the report as you say, does

suggest that. but that doesn't mean to say they weren't operative, because there are a couple of them the cvr and the flight data recorder. it also talks about the emergency locator beacons and how badly they perform overall. if it's true there's a very good reason why they didn't hear anything when it happened because they may have been expired. they may have been dud. but the company had said at the time remember the company said at the time that these batteries were due to expire and be changed in june of last year. so if we're now getting information that says that's incorrect, then that's something that obviously requires further answer. what's coming out of all of this is a catalog, not of people doing anything wrong, but of just down right negligence on the night. >> yeah richard quest there for us in los angeles. richard, thank you very much for making sense of this all for us. let's turn our attention to anna in kuala lumpur, who has been following the details there, the

search efforts there. anna, it seems officials there, we've heard from the airline's ceo and the malaysian president saying the search will go on. is that correct? >> yeah that's what we are hearing from malaysia the search will go on in the priority zone. that of course is a thousand nautical miles off the coast of western australia, in an area that initially was the size of half the united states that's been narrowed down to 23,000 square miles. they have covered more than 40% of it. they are hoping to complete this priority area by may. and they believe that if the plane is there, they will find it. remember they've been coming up against enormous challenges under the water and beneath. bee neath, there are mountains underwater volcanoes, frenchs. where the sonar is it's 4,000

meters below the surface. above the water, search crews have hit cyclones and waves which have just been absolutely enormous. so at times, this has delayed the search but despite that isa, they are saying that it will be wrapped up by may. the question is if nothing is found, if there is no debut in that area what will happen to the search? now, i put that to the malaysian transport minister a few days ago and he refused to be drawn in to giving some sort of commitment to the families that the search would continue. he said it's up to an expert panel of -- made up from all around the world, to decide whether or not an ongoing search is feasible. this is the most expensive search in history. $120 million has been put into the current search that is under way. that will have been exhausted by the end of may. so then will be the real

question will the search continue and we just don't have that moment at the answer isa. >> no idea if they'll wrap it up or go back to the drawing board. that's really the question. but let me is ask you this. on this interim report do you know why it's been released today? >> it has to be released today as far as international guidelines are concerned. it has to come out within the year. so that is why it has come out on the 8th of march. but as far as the families are concerned, those that we have spoken to they are enraged. they are upset. they feel it's completely insensitive, inappropriate they would release this interim report on such an important day. these families are grieving. they have been living with this pain and anger and sense of loss for the past 12 months with no answers. this report it has been released just in the last few hours, it's 600 pages long.

so the family members here in kuala lumpur many of them attending a vigil at this very moment. they are yet to go through it. but as we heard from richard, there's not a lot of new information. and certainly no answers as to where mh370 is. . >> anna koren in kuala lumpur thank you very much. flight 370 was headed for beijing the day it disappeared. families there continue to mourn. david mckenzie is in beijing for us. anna was saying many families have been telling her that the timing of this report, it is insensitive, inappropriate. what are you hearing from families there? >> well, we've been hearing something different here in beijing. a lot of the family members saying they want the report because any bit of information that comes to them is for them useful if it brings any new light to what happened to their loved ones. so certainly that's not what

we're hearing here. the prevailing sentiment is give us the information, give us the answers. but unfortunately, the answers they've been given, at least one family member saying the report for them is rubbish. they don't believe it. that's the prevailing sentiment, lack of trust there between the families and the authorities since very near the beginning of the saga. you know a year on and these family members don't know what happened. they were trying together to commemorate the anniversary at several locations around beijing, including a temple where there was perhaps more police than family members. some of them getting into a shouting match with the police. and the chinese government has dealt with these families at times very harshly, at times detaining them over the last few months when they've come to beijing to try and seek answers. of course these families are from all over china and elsewhere. we spoke to two family members and this is what they should to

say. >>. >> translator: on march 8th last year my husband was on mh370. it was supposed to land that day, and it never came. that's why i'm here. i'm looking for my husband. and i want to know what happened to him. >> we want them to keep on search and rescue for the plane. and the other thing, we want them to release other things which they are still hiding. >> so is there any trust between the families and the authorities in malaysia now? >> no never. >> and that trust, that lack of trust means also the families cannot continue in just the way of moving on with their lives. they can't get any financial support from the malaysians or they won't, because they still believe, perhaps, their loved ones are alive. and that's something i've heard from every single chinese family member i've spoken to. that hope is still there. logically, it would seem that

hope is diminished or distinguished, but that's not how humans operate. i want to believe in something that could give them a glimmer of hope. until they have concrete proof from the search they're not going to change their minds. >> very well put. thank you very much david. now, two murderous groups may work together. what experts are saying of the potential coalition between boko haram and isis. plus more arrests in the nemtsov case now a total of four suspects in custody. and tens of thousands of people rallied in israel. coming up why they want prime minister benjamin netanyahu out of office. those three stories right here on cnn newsroom.

i want to take you to west africa where the terror group boko haram is swearing loyalty to isis. separately the groups have killed thousands of people in the middle east and africa. boko haram whose leader you see here is trying to carve out an islamic state in nigeria. it's targeted cameroon and chad. more on what the potential alliance could mean. >> a new alliance with boko haram, a voice claiming to be that of its leader pledged to hear and obey in difficult times and in prosperous times. the emir of isis al baghdadi.

this will give isis a scope, an arc of allegiance that stretches from one coast of north africa to the other, through libya, egypt, and nigeria. also gives it the opportunity to strike another blow against al qaeda in that battle for international dominance. boko haram had previously pledged to obey the al qaeda leadership. now it seems to be throwing its lot in with isis. for boko haram, at a time when it's being pushed out of much of its territorial gain by a multiregional force, it's giving it a life line. propaganda gains have translated into the life blood of foreign recruitment and donations. and boko haram needs that now more than ever. whether that will help to turn the tide against the african union force remains to be seen. iraqi forces are making steady forces to retake the city of tikrit from isis.

it sits between baghdad and mosul. militants took control of the city about eight months ago. iraqi officials said on saturday they have surrounded tikrit and nearby towns. iraqi fighters and sunni and shia militia are battling militants in the area. these new photos show some 50 isis supporters surrendering to join iraqi supporters. they were given a final chance to hand themselves in or be killed. >> the u.s. embassy in saudi arabia's capital is warning all workers there they may be terrorist targets. u.s. officials say chevron employees are being targeted in saudi arabia. it's warning all u.s. citizens to consider the risks of traveling to the country. and for americans there to keep aware of their surroundings and only move around when it's absolutely necessary. russian authorities have

arrested four men in connection with the murder of boris nemtsov, according to stayed media. nemtsov was a vocal opponent to vladimir putin. he was shot to death nine days ago. all four suspects are said to be ethnic chechens which his daughters say was predictable. >> i think that president putin has told his security chiefs that they have to find these people quickly, which they i think, did. i think there will be criticism coming from the opposition and there will be fault from some people in the media as well who will be claiming it's a set-up that the police are trying to pin the blame on someone who are noot guilty. it's the usual procedure been happening before. i think it's best to wait and see what will happen next. here's why the arrests are so

controversial. these men are from the north caucasus in southern russia, an area with a history of rebellion. both pro-russian rebels and ukrainians say they've withdrawn all heavy weapons from the front lines, in honor of the agreement last month in the donetsk region. still rebels carried ought 46 attacks between friday and saturday. tens of thousands of people rallied in israel calling for a change in government. theeralee was organized by a grass-roots movement. most want prime minister benjamin netanyahu replaced. national elections are set for march 17th. mr. netanyahu still has broad support in israel even if his party loses election he could still become prime minister again. still to come celebrating

the ceremonial start of the idit rod is a sporting event,

but this year's dog sled race is missing one key element. you guessed it. snow. >> three, two, one, go! >> reporter: known as the last great race one thing idit rod mushers will tell you is expect the unexpected. but a race without snow? who could have expected that. >> that's an understatement. holy cow. i mean really? we can go to hawaii and start it next year. >> due to the unseasonably warm weather in alaska and the lack of snow in anchorage, the official race start has been moved 300 miles north from willow to fairbanks. but the ceremonial start, the big crowd, the big celebration, that stayed right here in town. >> hats off to iditarod and these guys putting the snow on

the street. >> ladies and gentlemen, lance mackie is back. >> the sled dog community is a tough one. so too warm too cold it's just one more obstacle to overcome. >> you can't tell me that when the mail had to be hauled or when the gold was coming out, they waited until they had really good conditions. so it just makes me feel more alaskan, even. >> weather conditions aside, the ceremonial start is first and foremost a celebration of the sport. one where these dogs and these mushers are the stars. >> this is the day we come say thank you, we sign autographs take pictures and eat an abundance of hotdogs. it's a lot of fun. this is the party, you know before the race so it's about having fun and appreciating all of our fans and just running dogs. >> because come monday when the teams hit the trail and the fans fade into the background the

dogs are all these mushers have left. >> let's get more on this from derek van dam in the world weather center. is this normal has it happened before that there's no snow? >> it's happened before. in fact they've moved this race north into the fairbanks region once before in this nearly 75-year running of the alaskan iditarod. this is the total snow depth at the moment across the portion of alaska where it's taking place from fairbanks to nome roughly 968 miles, 1,600 kilometers. look at the snow depth near anchorage where the ceremonial start took place on saturday. less than an inch of snow. only a centimeter on the ground at most. temperatures have been extremely warm across that area. in fact it was warmer in anchorage this past february than it was here in atlanta,

georgia, where the cnn world weather center is. that's not something that we would typically see. this is the route that they would normally take, starting in anchorage, through willow to nome. but with anchorage only receiving 1/3 its normal snowfall for the season you can see why they moved the start of the race into fairbanks, about 200 miles to the north. temperatures at the moment for the entire route is in fact below freezing i should say. having a little bit of a computer difficulty there, but nonetheless, the cold snap of weather will continue for the entire race. a few snow showers in place. they're going to have great conditions for this 968-mile journey between fairbanks and nome alaska. and also just a quick update we are over the winter weather in the eastern half of the united states. i've got some good news to report. we are going to start warming up from atlanta to chicago, and minneapolis. above normal temperatures across

much of the plain states and over the western half of the u.s. where they've already had above-average temperatures. back to you. >> good to see things are warming up. at least here in europe and the uk. spring is definitely out. it's beautiful. >> try to spread some of that warmth to you. take care. >> you're watching cnn newsroom still to come loved ones of those on board malaysia airlines 370, have spent the last year grieving but refuse to give up hope. we'll have that story ahead. plus we'll tell you what u.s. president barack obama had to say about his former secretary of state hillary clinton and her decision to release private e-mails to the public. those stories and more right here on cnn.

welcome back to cnn newsroom. let me bring you up to date with some of the top stories this hour. there were no signs of inclement weather the day malaysia airlines flight 370 disappeared. and the plane's engine seemed to be working normally according to a new interim report on the investigation. today marks one year since the plane disappeared. the leader of nigerian extremist group boko haram has declared allegiance through an online recording. an expert says the partnership will help with funding and recruiting. u.s. officials don't think boko haram and isis will work well together. russian authorities have arrested more men in connection with the murder of boris nemtsov who was shot to death last week in moscow. all four suspects are said to be

chechen with a history of rebellion against moscow. angus houston is in charge of one of the biggest aviation mysteries of all time. he spoke to our anna coren. >> we continue to bring you the latest on that missing airliner. >> as news broke last year that a malaysian airlines passenger plane had gone missing over the south china sea, many feared the worst. >> i thought, well the aircraft is lost. it will be just a few days and it will be found. >> reporter: but days rolled into weeks as the search for the infamous mh370 moved from the straits to the southern indian ocean ocean. then falling under the jurisdiction of the australian government. but the man now in charge of finding the missing plane, that would be the toughest challenge of his career. >> my initial thoughts were that the -- it was like looking for a

very small needle in a very large haystack. >> reporter: brought out of retirement to lead the search angus houston would restore credibility to the mission. the decorated pilot with 40 years' military service knew the chances of locating mh370 were slim. but with time running out on the battery life of the black boxes there was hope when four pings were detected. >> that increased the level of optimism in not just me but in everybody, because we thought, sadly, we got a lead. >> reporter: sadly, it was a false lead. >> it was a great disappointment it really was. >> reporter: the search is focused in an area known as the

seventh arc, at a depth of 1,000 meters. 1/3 of it has already been covered. >> do you believe that the plane will be found in the southern indian ocean? >> i'm absolutely convinced that that seventh arc, it will be found on or near to that seventh arc. >> reporter: so angus knows how much the families are struggling but says patience is paramount. >> and i just hope for the sake of the families and that little bit of luck and the professionalism of the people who are out there doing their job, eventually we'll find the aircraft. >> reporter: a hope desperately shared by everyone involved. anna coren, cnn, canberra. let's turn our attention to the u.s. an emotional day in selma, alabama. u.s. president barack obama led

marches across the edmund pettus bridge on the 50th anniversary of what is known as bloody sunday. on that bridge where lewis himself was beaten in 1965 for demanding the right to vote. the president thanked the marchers who gave so much 50 years ago, merry christmasing it possible for him to lead the u.s. >> we gather here to honor the courage of ordinary americans willing to endure billy clubs and the chastening rod, tear gas, and the trampling hoof men and women with splintered bone would stay true to their north star and keep marching toward justice. >> hundreds in new york city walked across the brooklyn bridge on saturday as a show of solidarity. former u.s. secretary of state and potential presidential candidate hillary clinton made a quick appearance in florida, talking about her family's

foundation at a clinton global initiative event. her appearance comes amid growing criticism of her use of a private e-mail account while she was secretary of state. she made no mention of the controversy on saturday. but her former boss spoke about it during an interview with cbs. >> mr. president, when did you first learn that hillary clinton used an e-mail system outside the u.s. government for official business while she was secretary of state? >> the same time everybody else learned it through news reports. >> were you disappointed? >> let me just say that hillary clinton is and has been an outstanding public servant. she was a great secretary of state for me. the policy of my administration is to encourage transparency and that's why my e-mails, the blackberry that i carry around all those records are available and are archived and i'm glad that hillary is instructed that

those e-mails to do with official business need to be disclosed. >> you say you have the most transparent administration ever. >> it's true. >> how does this square with that? >> i think the fact that she's going to be putting them forward will allow us to make sure people have the information they need. so far there's no evidence mrs. clinton violated any state department rules. the main focus now is making sure no sensitive information gets released to the public. >> i'm not going to prejudge the outcome of the review. >> in a contentious briefing facing questions about how the state department will review hillary clinton's 55,000 pages of e-mails. >> she's asked us to look at all 55,000 pages and determine what is appropriate for release. so that process is going to happen. >> after a controversy erupted over the exclusive use of a private e-mail has secretary of state she took to twitter on wednesday, saying quote, i want

the public to see my e-mail. department officials are now reviewing the tens of thousands of e-mails she has turned over to make sure no sensitive information is made public. she used a personal account clinton e-mail.com on her own server exclusively, never conducting business from a government issued address, leading to suggestions that she had something to hide. >> whether we'll get to the end of the line here and conclude there was a rule they broke, i am dubious, more dubious that it's going to be a big factor one way or the other in her presidential campaign. >> as she moves closer to an assumed presidential run, the gop is piling on pointing to negative headlines across the country, and deleting jeb bush who has governor of florida did use private e-mail at times connected to his own server weigh in on radio iowa. >> for security purposes you

need to be behind a fire wall that is recognized as the world for what it is and it's a dangerous world, and security would mean that you couldn't have a private server. it's a little baffling to be honest with you that that didn't come up in secretary clinton's thought process. >> erin mcpike, cnn, washington. >> the community is outraged after the police shot and killed an unarmed african american man in wisconsin. anger spilled into the streets since friday's shooting. the officer who shot 19-year-old tony robinson has been involved in fatal shootings before. the mayor has more including what the teen's mother is saying. >> reporter: protests erupted overnight in madison, wisconsin, after the 19-year-old born to a white mother and african

american father was fatally shot by a police officer. authorities were responding to a scene when the suspect allegedly assaulted the officer. madison police chief acknowledged the community's anger over the incident. >> in light of so much things that have happened not just across this country, but in our own community, it's understandable that the reaction at the scene, amid some of our citizens, was extremely volatile emotional, and upsetting. >> reporter: but urged protesters to exercise restraint. robinson's mother says her son has always feared this would happen to him. >> my son is now another statistic of the things that are happening all over the united states. another black kid shot by the police for no reason. this has got to stop. >> reporter: the incident began when officers responded to a couple of calls, that a man suspected in a recent battery, had gone into an apartment, and that the same suspect had been running through traffic dodging

cars. police say one of the officers heard commotion into the apartment and forced his way in. after sustaining a blow to the head the officer reportedly shot robinson. backup officers performed cpr, but the teen deied at the scene. a dolphin trainer has been found dead. he was expected to be the new vice president at an aquarium until video may have shown him abusing dolphins. they issued a statement saturday. it read georgia aquarium began a search for the truth in hopes of disproving these unsubstantiated claims. sadly, he was not given the right or the privilege to be

buried explosives from its battlefields. the colombian government and farc rebels made the announcement saturday in cuba. more than 11,000 colombians, including children have been killed over 50 years. the south american country ranks second are if the highest number of children killed or wounded by land mines, behind afghanistan. peru and chile are at odds over military espionage. peru claims chile paid its naval officers to spy on their own country. peru is prosecuting two non-commissioned naval officers. a third officer is also under investigation. the chilean government denies the accusation. today is international women's day, a time to celebrate women's achievements and a call for greater equality. nine,000 people hit the streets in brisbane for a women's day fun run. organizers say it was a record

turn-out. there were several generations of women through this sea of pink. earlier we asked our viewers to share inspirational quotes from famous women. then had female designers around the world to illustrate them. 17 of them are showcased on cnn.com. we spoke with some of the artists about what the quotes mean to them. >> these were said by real women and they're relatable. >> it helps me to stay grounded and stay focused on what i want to achieve in life. >> people want to be inspired just like art is powerful. words are powerful. >> my quote was, i was not rescued by a prince. i was the agent of my own rescue. that doesn't seem to be why feminine should be weak that you need to be rescued, rather than being able to rescue yourself. having this fairy tale quote turned on its head was inspiring to me. i kind of wanted to do the most typical princess in need of

rescue like in the sleeping beauty movie, for example. >> i wanted to spin it in a way that wasn't just trying to copy tony morrison's message. i kind of took it as my own interpretation. i think it's really one of the biggest problems facing women today. i was going for this equality of bodies. there's no clothes or anything. the arms crossed, i don't know how well i conveyed this but being able to give yourself the love that you need and give your body the love it needs. >> as soon as i read the quotes i saw a group of women, some camaraderie, the quote for me means access and mentorship. if you do become successful make sure you reach back. i just did a group of women working together with the quote, very joyful very positive, an optimistic illustration just

like the quote itself. i read that michelle obama really likes polka dots. i've never used faces. i want all women to see themselves in this drawing. >> sometimes you go down the thought process where you feel dejected or you've not done something well. so it kind of inspires me. the people's expression is different moods and thoughts people have. the center is more like bright and positive believing in yourself and staying focused. >> like they say, every successful man, there's a woman. obviously behind every successful woman there are men who help them inspire them each day every day. >> actually it reminded me of my mother. and even though my mom's not a rock star in the sense that joan jet is a rock star she's definitely like a rock star in my life. because she raised me by herself after my father died when i was

a baby. i just really love doing hand lettering and making it look expressive and i thought that putting it in the shape of the heart for joan jet and the black hearts was going to look really cool. kind of like it comes from the heart. i made it white on black because i kind of wanted it to look a little more rocking. 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. >> very inspirational. some of the quotes are here. one i'm fond of is try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud wi maya ange lieu. take a look at a few of these. under the personal status act in yemen, a husband has a right to be obeyed by his wife including permitting him to have

intercourse with her. she's also not to leave the home without his permission. in malta, if a man abducts a woman and marries her, he's not liable for persecution. and in northern nigeria, husbands have the right to discipline their lives as long as there is no grievous hurt. this dates back to the turn of the century when women fought for voting rights and better treatment. that fight then spread to other countries. i want to bring in grammy award winning singer live in paris, who is helping break down barriers. angelique, let me ask you. it's been a long road ahead for women, still today, when it comes to gender inequality isn't that right? in terms of what you have heard, how widespread is this gender inequality still today? >> it's worldwide spread. we've made a lot of tremendous

progress. we are 2015 and we are seeing quotes of women on tv. ten, 20 years ago, that did not exist. so for me it's one step ahead, and we still have a lot of work to do. and through education, we can really bring gender equality to disappear, or to diminish. educating women is empowering them to take a lead in their own life and to raise the boys differently. because the men attitude, we women are partly responsible because we raise them telling them they are different and therefore, if they are different, they are the men in the house. even when they are little we teach them to already be bullies. i mean what we need to teach them is you have to respect your little sisters. you have to respect every woman in your life that make you a greater man than anybody else. >> yeah society definitely needs to change. that's without a doubt. you devote a lot of your time to helping girls and women in africa. what stories have you heard time and time again from the women

there? >> well what you hear from the women, most of the time is that that's the rule. we cannot do otherwise. it's interesting for me to be in a place where i can speak to african women in many different parts of africa and even though they are still under the thumb of the husband, they play around that thumb. they play around that power. they tell the man what time it is but do it gracefully. if those women were educated we wouldn't be talking about this. but what comes out all the time for me is that they are realizing the power that they can have by being educated to be able to address this issue. some of them especially the mothers of some of my girls, one of them left her husband to give a chance to her daughter to go to school. she's living on the floor of her sister's house close to the school because she said i don't want my child to have the life i

had. if i have to sleep on the ground and you allowed my child to go to school by giving her scholarship, uniform, books, i want her to take the opportunity to transform her life because i haven't been given that opportunity. women, mothers are stepping up now and we have to encourage them. we have to make the school safe haven for the girls, for them not to be abducted. we have to give them also a feeling of belonging. we cannot put the girls in school and create a gap between them and the mothers. that's why i asked my girls to come back home and to teach the mother how to read or how to count for them to be able to write their name. it empowers them. you can see the face of the woman when she can put her name down that have never been to school doesn't know how to read or write, it's like you have given them billions of dollars. that's what i'm working for. that's what i look for, that smile of pride, you own your own

life. you give the mothers the ability to play the role and not just to be seen for their gender. >> angelique kijo thank you very much. very good points there. we have to celebrate the strength of those women that have done good, but also a lot of work needs to be done. you can learn more about this event by visiting our website. we'll have more there. cnn newsroom comes back after a short break. this is jim. a man who doesn't stand

still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban,
