could be getting warm. the latest possible piece of debris about 75 miles from where an australian satellite spotted two objects in the water earlier this week. david piper streaming live from bangkok thailand with the latest. david? >> reporter: fresh leads into the missing malaysian airlines jet that disappeared over two weeks ago now. an object was spotted in the southern indian ocean. the object is about 70 foot long and 40 foot wide. the photo was taken on tuesday, but only released today the malaysian authorities who are leading the investigation say china is sending ships to the area. >> chinese ambassador in the southern corridor, they will be sending ships to --

>> the object was photographed around 75 miles from where two large objects were sighted by satellite last monday. it's likely to have moved a considerable distance since the chinese satellite spotted it. and they have widened the search area in the southern indian ocean now. but none of the search planes that went out during daylight reported seeing the objects. the u.s. navy's poseidon search plane will join the search in a few hours time when dawn breaks. planes from aus trail kwa and china will head out to the search zone. about a four hour flight from perth. they have already reached the search area, it will be joined by ships from china and the uk. the weather is a major concern. the forecast doesn't look good for the coming week. a cyclone is currently to the north of the search area, and moving toward it. the malaysian authorities say despite this object being seen in this image from china, they

are continuing the search in the north. back to you. >> david piper streaming live in bangkok thailand, we'll check back with you. >> there were so many twists and turns surrounding the disappearance of flight 370. let's take a look now at what we know so far. two weeks ago, the malaysia airlines jet carrying 239 people takes off smoothly from kuala lumpur at 12:31 a.m. heading northeast to beijing. 26 minutes later the aircraft communications and reporting system acars sends information everything is okay. at 1:19 a.m. the plane suddenly veers to the west. someone in the cockpit reportedly the co pilot says, all right, good night. two minutes later, the boeing 777's transponders shut down leaving the plane invisible to radar on the ground. the next minute military radar in thailand picks up the plane.

at 1:28 a.m. it finds the plane changing course, nine minutes later, acars does not transmit its scheduled time to check in with ground control. at 2:15 a.m., flight 370 shows up for the final time on military radar in malaysia about hundreds of miles offcourse. flying over heavily populated areas. about six hours later, a satellite picks up the last known signal from flight 370 with no trace of the plane for six days. investigators shift their focus to the pilots. looking for anything in their backgrounds which might explain what happened. by march 16th, foul play is suspected. the mystery of the plane's disappearance now designated a criminal investigation. the next day, aviation analysts find that the onboard computer was preprogrammed, suggesting it was done by someone with experience in flying planes.

on march 18th, two possible flight arcs emerge. one extending north to central asia, the other south to the indian ocean. this means that the search area covers a staggering 2 million square miles. march 19th, investigators analyzing the pilots flight simulator find that files were dilated. then on thursday, a possible breakthrough in the search, australia announcing that satellites spotted two objects in the ocean including one that is 80 feet long and that brings us to today. with china saying a satellite spotted another object in the same general search area. >> let's talk about that now, the latest satellite picture offering some hope that the missing plane could be found. for more on that, let's bring in veteran pilot, retired u.s. navy captain chuck nash a fox news military analyst. captain nash, always good to see you. when you think about the search area, which is 2.97 million

square miles, that's just enormous. and so this could be anything in the water, could be a container that fell off a ship. i mean, it could be just the garbage that unfortunately is out there. how would you handicap the likelihood of this actually being evidence of 370? >> well, i'm going to look at what people are doing and not necessarily what they're saying, what are they saying? well, we don't know where it is, what are they doing. you have the australians, the japanese, the chinese, the brits and everybody else sending ships and airplanes down to search the search area, which is probably about the size of a dixie cup on a football field. either they know something and maybe they know it because there are systems and sensors that possibly picked up and we have a better clue on really where to look than just narrowing down

that huge circle that you showed earlier on your graphic. the search area is significantly smaller, and i don't think somebody threw a dart at a map on the wall. >> well, look, visibility is getting more difficult. there's bad weather on the horizon. and then you have the physical challenges. the logistical challenges. this is, i wrote this down, this search area is 1,726 miles from shore. so that means, you know, have you to spend like four hours getting out there by plane, four hours getting back with limits to your search with two and a half to three hours. is the good news that nasa is involved? >> well, that is helpful. nasa gets involved, the u.s. geological survey is the conduit to the international charter on space and major disasters, which is an organization -- it came out of an international agreement back in 1999 where

many of the satellite owning nations pull their digital data satellite imagery when a major disaster occurs and the charter is activated. now that nasa is involved, they can search their databases, the thing to keep in mind as you did in the lead in, talking about what is really visible from space and what you can do from space. the satellite data that's going to be divulged by these nations is not going to be what we would consider spy satellite data. it's going to be a little less definitive. so it will help to find debris, but you're going to have to get human eyes out there, either through a camera system in a low flying aircraft, but hopefully from a ship that can grapple that in and closely examine it and see what it is. >> let me get your thoughts and reaction to a story from a veteran pilot that has gone crazy viral. it argues that what could have

occurred here, and in fact this author thinks it happened is a fast moving fire that disabled the communications systems. the pilots then tried to make a -- basically a left hand turn to a 13,000 foot runway on an island -- part of the andaman islands just northwest of malaysia. but eventually they became overcome by smoke and the plane just kept on going until its fuel was exhausted and the fire itself destroyed the plane. what do you think of that? >> it's strange or funny you bring that up, a friend of mine sent me that e-mail this morning. and whey told him is what i will tell you now. and is, that if a fire had been going on in the aircraft and it was hot enough to destroy all of the electronics down in the electronics compartment of the aircraft and incapacitate the pilots and do anything else. if it was raging that badly, how

do we account for the fact that the airplane kept flying for another 6 1/2 to 7 hours, it doesn't track, it doesn't make sense. >> the other thing that caught my eye was, their final communication in which it was very calm, they said, all right, good night is very close in time, a minute or two to when the transponder was disabled. if there was a fire that affe affected the transponder, it would have to be big enough to alert the pilots, and yet they said all right, good night. that doesn't make sense. the locater beacons, what do they last another 16 days? >> the battery is specked for 30 days, if it's a spec battery and right on, yeah, we have another couple weeks, if it's a little bit of a weaker battery than that, the pinger will go out, but hopefully it will be a really super battery and it will last even longer, i think given the vast expanse of what we're trying to do and where we're trying to look, we're going to

need every minute of that battery life. >> i'm almost out of time, what's the likeliest scenario in your mind and i know you've been thinking about it, what happened here. >> i think unfortunately there was human intervention. someone, either one of the pilots or someone gaining access to the cockpit who knew how to fly an aircraft. and this aircraft was either stolen and was on land somewhere to be used for something else or it was down where it seems like everybody and their brother is taking their ships and airplanes to search in that little dixie cup. >> please come back, always good to talk to you. >> my pleasure greg, thank you. >> meanwhile, more severe weather could slow down the search for the missing jetliner. are the conditions going to improve at all? let's check in now with meteorologist janice dean, live in the fox weather center. what do you have for us. >> they've had a period of clearing skies within the last 12 to 24 hours, but conditions are going to be deteriorating, as you can see in red, that's

the possible debris located that we had information today, and then the yellow was the debris -- possible debris that we saw on satellite last week. so as you can see, with the satellite imagery, you can see clouds rolling in, that's our next storm system on the horizon, arriving tonight and tomorrow. then we'll have clearing conditions, and then another storm moves in. part of the reason we have these storms is because we don't have any land to break it up, because this is just ocean. and we don't have any really data to bring us information on weather or radar or the water temperatures that kind of thing. this is very remote and relentless in terms of storm systems. that's going to continue wednesday we could have an area of clearing. hopefully we'll get information within the next 12 to 24 hours, as you can see, what we've been mentioning, 1700 miles from the city of perth, australia, that's where we think we have that debris, which searchers are going out to right now, and then

the weather conditions right now, we're dealing with the air temperature near 50 degrees, water temperature upper 40s. it gets much cooler as we drop southward, and then that storm system arrives this evening. we're talking about the weather information, we don't have a lot of buoys out here, we have no buoys out here to give us weather information on wave heights and temperatures and the winds this is a very challenging area, if not impossible to get to, and impossible to get weather information. back to you. >> indeed, janice dean, thanks. >> you got it. our other top story now, the crisis in ukraine, it is certainly escalating with reports of gunfire and pro russian forces storming a military base. the fresh violence coming the day before, president obama leaves for a nuclear summit in europe, where the situation in the ukraine is expected to dominate the talks there. and one day after russian president vladimir putin officially an ex-ed crimea.

james rosen following it all live in washington. >> good afternoon, a team of 200 monitors from the organization for security and cooperation in europe. is soon to arrive in ukraine, with the goal of reducing tensions there. early saturday those tensions were on vivid display as pro russian forces wearing no insignia used armored personnel carriers it is one of the last military installations in crimea that ukrainian forces hadn't already evacuated. the defense ministry told fox news two officers sustained gunshot wounds. 5,000 prorussian protesters called for a referendum similar to the hastily arranged one that crimea held as a precursor to annexation by russia. in the capitol kiev, ban ki-moon told embattled interim prime

minister that with the international community's support, the central government will overcome this difficult time. president obama's national security adviser described russia's role on that yesterday. >> that support takes the form of political and diplomatic support, of course, much increased economic support. and that is -- the reason for our efforts to work with congress and urge them to act quickly to implement through legislation the billion dollar loan guarantee and the imf quota reform. >> president obama will use a summit on nuclear security in the netherlands next week to consult with g-7 leaders on the ukraine crisis. vladimir putin is sending his foreign minister to attend. most analysts have agreed that up until now, it has been putin who has controlled the flow of events. >> at this point he has no reverse gear. and i don't like vladimir putin,

but i have to admit he is a dynamic powerful leader with a clear vision of what he wants and the west is leaderless. >> a close ally of vladimir putin's speaker of the upper house of russia's parliament said saturday that russia has no plan to absorb other parts of eastern ukraine. at least not for now, greg. >> thanks. meanwhile, president obama is taking the eat for handling the explosive situation there in ukraine. >> like a parent who says i'm going to come up there if you don't turn that stereo -- i'm going to come up. and the kid knows the parent is never coming up there, and he blasts the stereo all night. that's putin and the united states. >> how should the leader of the free world be treating defiant russia? >> new questions being raised about the final moments of malaysia airlines flight 370 and what may have been in the cargo hold.

all the symbolism that was a bust, the fact is, putin has come to figure that the united states is not a country that he has to be afraid of. it's not a country that he has to believe they mean anything when they say it many and like a parent who says, i'm going to

come up there if you don't turn that stereo -- i'm going to come up there, and the kids knows the parent is never coming up there, he blasts the stereo all night. that's putin and the united states. >> that was former arkansas governor mike huckabee weighing in on russia's power grab in the ukraine. vladimir putin formally annexing crimea. is president obama doing enough to stop putin? let's bring in david hawkings. how are you this afternoon? >> thank you. >> what is it going to take to stop putin from being even more aggressive and possibly invading eastern part of ukraine and has president obama done enough to try to stop putin? >> i don't think to use governor huckabee's image one more second here, the president is not in a position to particular upstairs to putin's room and turn off his stereo. there is no public support for any kind of assertive

military -- there's no support anywhere for troops on the ground, there's no support in congress, there's no support in the public. the public is not clamoring for this. i think in hard power as they say, you know, isn't an option, it isn't on the table. what more can the president do. he can make this trip that you've been alluding to, that he's going to be spending all week overseas, he's going to be meeting with all the other leaders of what used to be called the g 8 and now they -- kicked russia out and is now the g 7 he's meeting with them this week. he's going to have a chance to use his persuasive powers to try to form something that the world views as an international coalition to sort of get angry with him. what more he can do, whether that's going to be economic sanctions, whether it's going to be to try to persuade the rests of europe to do something about their reliance on russian energy, that's the most he can do. >> it's my understanding that you believe at this point the

focus should be on the bigger picture of foreign policy. explain that for me. >> so i think that the larger challenge, if you're a critic of the president's, then the question is, i don't think just about putin and russia, but has the president essentially squandered his credibility abroad all together. the republicans will say the president between -- with syria, last fall, with the nsa leaks that have revealed the united states to be behaving in a way that many other world leaders don't like, including having some of their cell phones tapped. the president's credibility is a foreign policy leader is severely tested. they think that by the end of this coming week, they'll have even more to criticize the president about. they're expecting that he will come out of this week of trying to build some sort of a coalition without much of a coalition, and, you know -- but

they have not really offered an alternative on their own. say, would say the president's friends, they would say similar to obama care, the republicans are willing to run the president down but not offer an alternative. >> having highlighted all those points, do you think putin thinks he has president obama's numbers, so to speak, and that he knows how president obama's going to play this situation based on the is a share yo or example that governor huckabee gave us? you pointed out that military options are unfavorable amongst american people and congress. that's -- putin knows all these things. >> he knows all these things, he also knows, it's an important point to mention, vladimir putin knows what's going on in the washington budget picture which is the defense spending is going to be coming, is not going to be growing in the next few years, it's going to be coming down, it's going to be a fight in washington over a declining or at least not a growing defense budge net coming years, in which both parties have bought into this, it's a republican and a

democratic decision. he knows that the president's own party as well as the republican party is also somewhat isolationist, and somewhat opposed to big buildups, there are more republicans now in congress i would say who are budget hawks than defense hawks, so i think vladimir putin sees the united states more than just the president, but some with the congress as well as sort of disinclined to be robust. >> i'm going to run out of time here, so if i could ask you to keep this next answer short for me. considering the volatility of the circumstances in the ukraine and crime yarks how much time does president obama have to essentially cripple putin economically? >> not much. it's a hard sell, crippling any country economically is difficult in the current world. especially when you're acting unilaterally, it's too complicated a world for even the united states to do something like that and have it work

easily. >> well, david, i appreciate your expertise this afternoon, i tell you what, if my mom said turn down the music or else, i know or else is what's to come. >> never wanted to hear those two words, or else as a kid coming up. >> exactly. >> my daughters ignore me, though. russia's land grab of crimea is posing questions, could kherson be the next to switch sides. the mayor of the province saying that is not going to happen, calling it treason. wait and see. >> we'll go back to our top story greg as the search continues for the missing plane entering its third week. high-tech search methods are coming into play. we have a closer look at that next. >> and the latest on reports that the pilot made a last

relatives of chinese passengers on that missing malaysian airliner erupted in a meeting with malaysian officials who declined to answer their questions. >> they're accusing the malaysian government of delaying, concealing and cheating. >> meanwhile, the fbi is trying to recover computer files that were deleted from the pilot's home flight simulator, what do

they really hope to find. and now there are reports that the pilot made a last minute phone call before takeoff. let's bring in jim walsh, international security expert and m.i.t. security studies program. >> what is the most pressing question in your mind at this juncture. >> the real number of the thing is, why did the plane take a sharp left hand turn when it did, it did when it was between two radio towers. that looks to some people like that was an intentional act as opposed to something that was a result of a mechanical failure. i still think at the end of the day, we're going to find this plane in the sea. and it's not going to be terrorism. but for people who continue to be puzzled by any of the explanations, the most puzzling thing is that acars communication system going off before the pilot says good night. and then the sharp turn right where they're in between, sort of in a no person's land between radio contact with two different

countries. on the one hand that sort of points to something that would be intentional, human intervention, but none of the other clues or pieces seem to point in that direction. that's why we have more theorys than we have actual explanations. >> let's go now to the deleted files from that pilot's flight simulator there at his home. is it going to be difficult for fbi to recover those files? and when they find them, if they find them, which i imagine they would, what would those files tell investigators? >> in some ways, this is symbolic of the entire puzzle we face. we have this little clue here that files were deleted, but it's not a smoking gun, it's generally suggestive, there could be other innocent explanations that would account for it. these flight simulations eat a lot of data on the hard drive. if you're like me, you have a lot of files that pile up on your hard drive, you're forced to delete them otherwise you run out of room. this could have been the case

here, which would be a very innocent explanation. i think the fbi is going do be able to recover some of that data. one of the interesting things would be if they discover the pilot used some sort of routine to try to make it more difficult to recover, that could also be suggestive, but simply, you know, erasing files on the hard drive, that's something all of us have done and will continue to do, it's a little clue, but it doesn't really get you very far. >> you're right about that. we're pressing delete on files. let's go to the phone call that the pilot made on takeoff. what does that say to you. >> same thing exactly. how many of us make calls to loved ones or make calls for logistical reasons because we know we're going to arrive in a city, we want to make sure xyz is taken care of before we land. we all do that. it could be as innocent as that. obviously, they've identified the phone calls. my guess is, this is not going

to be a robust lead. the best lead we have right now, is the debris in the ocean as with everything else, it's not a smoking gun, there could be other sources of debris, there's a reason why all the governments are moving their assets. their ships and their planes and listening devices in that general direction. because they think it's the best shot we have at trying to explain what's going on. >> what do you glean from that? >> i think it -- again, you know we have all these little facts, none of them add up, my tendency is to pull back and look at the big picture. the big picture tells me there's way more ocean than land. if you're over the ocean you're far less likely to be detected, particularly in the areas where these folks, where this plane is suspected to have gone. if you go over land, there's a beth chance you'll be detected. i think the simple explanation is probably the best, that it went south in the indian ocean toward australia, it's in the water, and it's just a race to

try to find it before they lose the ping sound that would allow them to get the flight recorder back. >> and i want to go on record saying we haven't confirmed in fact that that phone call was made by the pilot at the last minute. let's talk now finally before we go, quickly if you would, the lithium ion batteries on board. they've been known to explode. rare instances, but it did take down a ups plane a couple years ago. >> it did. they can catch on fire, as you right think point out, this doesn't happen very often. you know, and the problem here is, we're trying to come up with general explanations for something that in my world they call a black swan. a very, very rare event. first of all, plane's going down, that's a rare event. for whatever reason. and then this particular incident is different than virtually almost any other case of a plane going down. so we're looking for something that is rare in the category of the extremely rare. and so whatever it's going to

be, i think, if they're able to find the plane, able to get some data here, they're going to find a very unusual set of circumstances and events that happened in sequence, something that you would never expect. because again we're dealing with stuff that almost doesn't happen. >> jim, i have to leave it there. jim walsh, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> as search efforts expand, high-tech search methods are increasingly coming into play. brian has an upclose look at the equipment that could help find the missing jetliner, brian? >> if wreckage from flight 370 is found, scientists will have to trace back and pinpoint a search area where they think the plane hit the water. only then could u.s. company phoenix international be mobilized to search miles beneath the surface. the search would begin with the hopes of finding this sound. pings emitted underwater from acoustic beacons attached to the

airplanes two black boxes, the data and voice recorders. the pings are picked up by the toad pinger locater system, which is a small microphone that can pick up signals from as far as two miles away. scientists only have 30 to 50 days to when the plane hits the water before the beacon batteries die. >> once the pinger battery is dead, it's no longer putting out a signal, and it's really of no further use as far as locates wreckage. at that point in time you have to switch to either an automonous underwater vehicle, it can dive three miles under water and is preprogrammed to map the sea floor, using satellite, gps and side scan sonar. it scans the floor for possible plane wreckage. images can be taken with on board hd cameras, if plane wreckage is found, recovery begins with a remotely operated

vehicle equipped with thrusters, cameras, lights and robotic arms. it can lift debris to the surface, for heavier items like the engine, it attaches high strength recovery lines to be lifted from the ship. using this technology, it took two years to recover wreckage and the black boxes from air france flight 447. but the science can oath be used if investigators know where to start looking. greg? >> and they took 73 years to find the titanic. of course technology has as you pointed out improved since 1912. thanks very much brian. >> you're welcome. the empire state building is a very popular place with tourists. one couple claims they were kicked out for praying on the observation deck, and now they are suing. our legal panel is here to take on that case. surveillance videotape providing new clues to what

from state to state. they all have this in common. privately owned businesses, open to the public may not discriminate based on race or religion, but in most states, businesses can control or restrict speech or behavior regarded as disruptive. in this case, don't the plaintiffs have to prove their rejection was solely based because of their religion? >> well, they do have to prove that, and we're also looking at title iii of the 1964 act, you can't discriminate, a private organization open to the public cannot discriminate against religion. they were in the empire state building, they went over to a quiet place in that venue and at a time in which their religion dictate that they need to pray. and they quietly prayed. it's at that point the security guard comes over and starts really badgering them. >> you haven't talked to the

security guard yet, and he'll testify, bob, the empire state realtive trust, it owns the building that is issued the following statement. claims are totally without merit, and we will respond to them in court. bob, is it likely that they're going to have to argue here that islamic religion had nothing to do with the removal? >> i mean, that's going to be the basis for their motion to dismiss, i think when at least the facts as we know it -- it probably could have been handled a little bit better by the security guard that maybe would not have resulted in any of this type of problem. that's another issue for another day, we find out exactly poking fun, making fun, you know, it takes people to another level, greg, of then getting legal advice and pursuing a claim. look, i'm not a common law expert, but here's my concern. and that is, i understand what lisa's saying in reference to the right to religion and

practice, are they being denied their right of practicing their religion? no one's saying you can't be a muslim. >> part of their religion means after a particular time, 11:00 at night, they must pray, and there they were -- now, of course, they knew that ahead of time, they could have gone elsewhere, but, you know, we -- >> that's a reasonable accommodation then if you let people -- they shouldn't have to just leave something they've already paid for and been to. that's a reasonable accommodation by a private company that's open to the public to say, look, they're being quiet, they're not disrupting anything. >> it's not so much a question of law, it's a question of fact. the testimony of the guard of guards, not to mention security cameras, versus what the family claims happened, to find liability, wouldn't the family have to testify the guard verbally said something that had something to do with religion? >> well, pretty clear. it wouldn't have to be just about religion? >> how else could you prove it. >> the poking of them, telling them to leave, you don't have to
