a fox news alert. hope in the search for flight 370 with the release of new satellite data that suggests possible debris. the new information emerging as the hunt for the boeing 777 enters its third week. 26 countries scouring the indian ocean and for the first time, authorities believe they are finally making progress. hello, everyone. i'm arthel neville. >> i'm gregg jarrett. the third possible clue in as many days. yesterday as you know, china releasing this satellite picture shoiing an object in the indian

ocean very similar to images taken from the same area. released by australia just days before. so far, though, efforts to locate those objects have come up short. >> the description was a wooden pallet and a number of other items, which were nondescript around it and some belts, strapping belts of different legs. we tried to refine that yesterday with one of the new zealand aircraft and, unfortunately, they didn't find it. so, we've gone back to that area again today to try to refind it, but also continuing along with a methodical search along the rest of the area looking for these objects that are showing up in the satellitemi imagery to try give it some clues. >> let's go to david streaming live from bangkok, thailand. david, what's the latest? >> yes, a fresh lead in the

search for this missing plane. france now says its satellites have spotted objects floating in the southern indian ocean. there's no images of such because the french foreign ministry says the satellites actually used radar to find those objects. meanwhile, the search has stopped now for the day in the southern indian ocean. planes from australia and the u.s. were involved in today's operation, as well as a ship of the australian navy, but they didn't find anything. visibility was poor early on because of fog but improved during the day. they have been making a four-hour journey to the search area which is 1,500 miles southwest. the massive search area has now been split into two to help aid the search. now, much of the focus today has been on a large object spotted by chinese satellite. spotted 75 miles from where an australian satellite spotted two large objects last sunday.

and a small commercial aircraft reported yesterday seeing some small objects floating in the ocean, including a pallet. australia's prime minister remains hopeful if there is anything out there, they will find it. >> it's still too early to be definite, but, obviously, we have now had a number of very credible leads and there is increasing hope, no more than hope. no more than hope, that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen to this ill-fated aircraft. >> and the australian-led search is getting more international help. two planes from japan have arrived in perth, as have two from china. they will join the search in a few hours time. but the search is continuing across a large area, gregg, because up in the north the helicopters are being used in thailand and also ships and planes as far as kazakhstan and india trying to find where

exactly the plane has gone. back to you. >> david streaming live from bangkok, thailand, we'll check back with you. shortly after all this data was revealed, civil yav aviation director refused to answer. >> i think the threat -- >> just repeat the statement, if you will. sir, can you repeat the statement? >> i think they just released it. >> what are you trying to hide, sir? will you explain? >> malaysian officials have been heavily criticized for their handling of this investigation. and for releasing inaccurate, as well as contradictory information. and, gregg, meanwhile, the new french satellite data from the same remote part of the southern indian ocean, that has become a hot spot for possible

debris sightings is giving some hope in the exhausting effort to find missing flight 370. let's bring in now captain nash. good it see you. >> nice to be with you, arthel. >> let's talk about this satellite data that france has provided. what is your take away on this new information? >> in the lead, it's a radar satellite. you're not going to get imagery out of it, just finding targets that are significantly different than the water background. so, it's a great way to do kind of a quick bulk search and then get some location data on that. once you get the location data, then you send out systems that can take an image of it so that you can so it with the naked eye. now, that could be an aircraft with electrooptic camera and an inf infrared camera and something where you can start to piece together if this is just something out in the ocean or if

this is a relevant piece of the airplane. so, we won't know until we actually get human eyeballs on it to see what it is. >> understood. so, there is updated info coming in from the malaysian government now saying that the last transmission sent at 1:07 in the morning showed nothing unusual. showed a normal routing all the way to beijing. now, this would indicate that the plane was not preprogrammed, as they earlier thought to make that left turn to the west. still, the plane did make the turn. what is this updated information say to you and does it alter the investigation in your mind? >> it doesn't alter the investigation, at all. because you could have multiple routes programmed into the computer. have the one selected that you want, that you have to go to beijing and then right as you're leaving malaysian air space and just before you enter city control in vietnam, at that

point everything starts to go dark. things get turned off. the aircraft then turns, once all the reporting systems are shut down. the aircraft turns and then the new route that could have been programmed on the ground before takeoff, that new route is selected and then off you go. >> interesting. so, does this tell you that there is possibility of a catastrophic event that took place in the cockpit or perhaps the pilot deliberately made that turn for some other nefarious reason? >> i go with your second position or your second item there and that is that the pilots, one or both, were involved or someone was involved that got access to the cabin. right now, it sort of leads me to one of the pilots where one either incapacitated the other or they get up to cruising altitude, one, maybe the captain turns to the copilot and says how about checking out the cabin

for me and he gets up and leaves the cockpit and the captain deadbolts the door and that's it, he owns the airplane. whatever he wants to happen, happens. >> what about someone entering the cockpit and forcing them to make that turn? >> if that cockpit door was closed as it should have been prior to takeoff then getting into that cabin without destroying the nose of the airplane and blowing that door big time is a very remote possibility. those doors are set to withstand hand grenades and high-velocity rounds. it's a steel volt up there. you're not going to get through that door without an explosion that would be large enough to possibly bring down the airplane. we know that didn't happen because it kept pinging for seven hours. >> at this juncture, what is your theory as to what happened to this flight? >> it, there was some human

intervention. they turned off the reporting devices to make the aircraft disappear, broke left, went out over the indian ocean and then from there, they either turned right and went north over land or went south where there's an awful lot of attention down there in that southern spot. so, they either, we either have information that it is down there or we want people to think it's down there and i'm glad we haven't given up the search over land because both are possibilities. >> captain chuck nash, thank you very much for your time on this sunday afternoon, sir. >> my pleasure, arthel. now to the latest on the crisis in ukraine. president obama is leaving tonight for a nuclear summit in europe where he and other world leaders expected to try to figure out just how to move forward against moscow. now, the russian flag reportedly now flying over 189 military sites in crimea and ukrainian officials say a top commander is

being held captive by nato troops. sounding the alarm that russia's military force on the border is growing. greg is streaming live from kiev, ukraine, with the latest. >> gregg, russia apparently finishing the job in crimea maybe thinking about new adventures in the region. the russian troops and armored personnel carriers are surrounding the base of the ukrainian marines at a base in crimea. one of the last still under ukrainian control. reports are that negotiations for withdrawal of those troops are ongoing. a violent takeover yesterday again by russian troops of an air force base there. authorities are holding its commander and it has confirmed to fox news two other ukrainian officers at this time. meanwhile, pro russian activists gathered in the ukrainian city

and marched on the government headquarters today. a word as you noted about a growing russian troop presence on the other side of the border that nato military commanders saying that the russian troop size there very, very large. very, very ready. and they could threaten ukraine, not just the eastern region, but could move all the way over to territories near the western border. here in kiev, a big crowd has been gathering in independence square. the function is still going on right now. the square, obviously, the scene of the toppling of the old pro-russian regime and now the folks here have been hearing about a new threat to their country. and they are worried. listen to a few things of what they have to say. >> i feel very bad because i love ukraine and the ukraine must be together. >> russia is moving and moving very fast and we should do something. >> no russia.

we can see russia in our count. >> not possible. >> it's not possible. >> the u.s. taking the threat of greater russian role in the region seriously, as well. we just got finished talking to new hampshire senator here on a fact-finding mission. she is calling for a greater u.s. military assistance to the ukrainian army, including small weapons and a greater u.s. troop presence in the region through nato missions in neighboring countries. one more thing, gregg, she's also calling on vladimir putin to quit acting like a school yard bully. back to you. >> live, thanks very much, greg. gregg, turkey's military shooting down a syrian warplane near its border. turkey's prime minister says the plane entered its air space. now, syria condemning the shooting as "unjustifiable." turkish news reports say the plane crashed in a buffer zone and that the pilot was able to

eject safely, but that has not been confirmed by syria. now, this move will likely increase tensions between the two countries already divided over syria's civil war. rescue crews in washington state say they do hear the voices of survivors trapped by a deadly mudslide, but it's too dangerous to get to them. three people have been killed, at least 18 others still missing. the mud, trees and rocks also critically injuring several other forcing evacuations because of fears and flooding and destroying at least six homes. first responders calling it the worst natural disaster they've seen in the area in decades. one witness driving along that road when the slide hit describes his close call. >> the darkness. i just saw the darkness. that's all i could see. everything from one side completely on the other side. >> you see a truck passing by you, like 100 feet in front of

you. and basically everything's gone. >> these slide conditions are described like "quick sand" also slowing down the rescue operations. the mud reported to be about 60 feet deep in some areas. if well, get ready for some march madness from mother nature. a late season nor'easter taking shape expected to hit the northeast some time in the next few days. yes, we're talking snow. meteorologist janice dean in the weather center. hi. >> another storm system we're watching very carefully because this one could be a big snowmaker. so, we have two pieces of energy, one across the northern plains and the midwest up here and then we have all of this moisture from the gulf of mexico. so, two of those things coming together phasing is what we call it across the northeast. the coastline could bring us our

very big storm system, the exact track and how much snow still yet to be determined, but we think it's going to happen tuesday afternoon and into the overnight. so, you can see the snow starting to fly for the drive home on tuesday, remaining across the coast in the overnight into wednesday and boston, new england, you could be in for jackpot snow totals. so, here's what we think right now. here is one of our forecast models. could see several inches of snow, 6 to 12 inches across the appalachians and then as we get up towards new england, new york city watching you very carefully, as well as philadelphia. d.c., we think mainly a rain event. but look at the snowfall across portions of eastern new england, including boston. and this storm is going to bomb out, bombogensis. when they get really close together, that means this storm is strengthening rapidly. so, blizzard conditions almost a guarantee for coastal areas of

new england. we will watch it, we will track it and bring you the very latest, arthel, back to you. >> oh, my goodness, j.d. >> you think it's april fools. it is not. >> today is march 23rd. >> in like a lion, out like a lamb. not happening this time. >> thanks, j.d. a serious oil spill is shutting down one of the world's busiest ports. we'll tell you about it. new efforts to solve the mystery of the missing malaysia jet. the pilot's flight simulator is now in the hands of the fbi. the computer files they're trying to recover. and the latest on the ukraine crisis as russia could be eyeing the takeover of another former soviet republic. could u.s. military assistance stop russia's land grab. >> i don't think putin has any fear of nato right now. i think he judged what happened when nato rejected ukraine in georgia in 2008 as an indication that russia will have freedom of

action. stouffer's is proud to make america's favorite lasagna. topped with a mouth-watering blend of fresh cheese and aged parmesan. it makes our lasagna a delicious centerpiece for this table this table and your table. stouffer's. america's favorite lasagna. it's how i look at life. especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing. [ male announcer ] don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke.

eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why i'm shooting for something better. eliquis.

national security affairs distinguished fellow at the hamilton foundation. always good to see you. today mitt romney called president obama's view of russia, naive. others, as you know, have said the same. but what is your opinion on how the president has responded to putin's acts of aggression? >> well, today, gregg, i don't think he has responded. i think, really, if you look at what putin is doing, we don't get to know what's in his head or why he's doing what he's doing. just look at recent evidence where he's threatened with diplomatic isolation which is the most worthless of talking points. he has been threatened with sanctions. he's been threatened with other kinds of consequences. none of that deterred him from taking this action, which is much more stark than i think the diplomatic talk of it has been. a major nation state stealing territory and military material from a neighboring sovereign state. and the nato commander basically saying they very, very large

military poised to take further action and we don't get to know when or how it may. >> do you expect putin to move in to and seize parts of ukraine, eastern and southern ukraine or a part of moldova to the south, formally part of the soviet union and, frankly, given the u.s. action so far, what is there to stop putin? >> very little to stop him. but, he may just choose to cool it for a bit and wait until people are less ready. not that they're terribly ready to resist at this point. but he, it's really all of the initiative and advantages in his hands at this moment. really, we need to be doing much, much more to reawaken europe. they are the ones who have lessened their investment in their own military and the ones not standing by their own neighbors at this point. >> let me ask you about this.

steps that make european nation energy independent within five years so putin can no longer exert influence or otherwise control europe economically and would that help deter putin from, you know, his long-term strategic interest of expanding russia? >> i think we need to move in that direction. it's a questionable proposition that would change nearterm calculus because this would be a nearterm shift. united states looking to taking aid from countries like pakistan and central european countries that want to preserve their independence and move in a direction of energy from reliable partners in north america, as opposed to those who would think to turn it on and off from russia. >> was it wrong when the new president of ukraine came to the white house and asked for military assistance. the obama administration to say, well, we'll give you mres, meals ready to eat, but that's it.

>> that was breathtaking to me. because, you know, we've lived through a history and people don't want to go back to the cold war and we don't often get to choose what the strategy is of the opposing side. there was a time when we cared more when we would have supported our allies, but we have two problems. we have the lack of mission and vision on our part and europe itself has had this lack of vision to take care of its own in recent decades. that has to change. >> if russia pursues with vigor, its current course, what is vladimir putin capable of doing and could it push europe and the united states closer to the precipice of war? >> i think he goes much further in this territorial expansion and we are at the precipice of some kind of war. i don't think that the remaining parts of ukraine are going to just lie down and accept encroachme encroachment. i think poland and the baltics are very nervous and others are, too. a historic average of 0% chance

of staying out of the european conflict. so f he so, if he is not moved away from this objective, u.nited states s at risk of being involved in one way or another. >> is it vital to our national security interest that we reinstute the european missile defense system which obama abandoned? >> i think we should be reinstituting all elements of the reset where we made concessions to russia on the expectation that they would become a steejic partner include the missile defense sites and also include returning to an assessment of our military needs and alliance needs that go back prior to the reset period. >> pleasure to talk to you, sir, thanks for being with us. >> thank you, gregg. it could be a crucial new clue in the search for flight 370. and it's in the hands of the fbi. what that piece of evidence means to the effort on the other side of the world to solve this

let's go back to our top story this hour. the mystery of flight 370 while dozens of teams scour the indian ocean, here at home the investigation is centered on the pilot's flight simulator and now that is in the hands of the fbi. more than two weeks after the fact. meanwhile, malaysian authorities coming under fire for seemingly slow pace of their investigation. chief congressional correspondent mike emmanuel live in washington. so, mike, what are they hoping they can retrieve from this simulator and the pilot's computer, as well. >> with no plane wreckage or black box so far.

they are trying to figure out what might have been deleted and if the pilot practicing a route similar to this case. michael mccall says the hope is it will help the investigation. >> they're going to scrub all their e-mails. i know the hard drives and the simulator of quantico under review. having worked with the fbi as a federal prosecutor. even though you may have deleted a file, they can be retrieved later and the fbi is working to-do that. >> mccall says it is hopeful now that satellite images and french radar seem to suggest some possibilities of evidence. his hope is they're close to finding debris related to this flight and that they can eventually find that black box to figure out what happened, arthel. >> a question that everybody wants answered. what about, though, mike, the frustrations with the malaysian authorities? >> well, the malaysians have been criticized for a lack of openness and for spending way too much time focusing on the northern search near thailand and even kazakhstan and now a lot of focus on the southern route a former ntsb official

says more ships and aircraft are needed. >> we need a lot more resources than eight airplanes and so20 se ships. we need 40 some airplanes and we need it quick and i hope that president obama is getting the right kind of information. we have a fleet of p3 orions. they need to be out there looking. >> there's also the concern that if it is in the indian ocean high winds and strong currents could spread wreckage a long distance from its original location. arthel. >> winter and storm season on the way, as well. mike emmanuel, thank you. >> thank you. for more on what this new evidence may tell us about the plane's possible whereabouts let's turn to christopher, a former fbi special agent and managing director with insight security. christopher, good it see you. but, look, this search area is amazingly enormous. it is 2.9 million square miles.

and there's a lot of debris out there in the ocean. would you estimate that the chances of this actually being related to the missing flight to be, you know, very, very low. maybe 1%. >> well, the chances on each piece of debris that they find out there being related individually are very low. i think their search area has been guided by more technical data as they get it in on where to look for the plane and then, of course, the hard part it has been so long, even when they find debris from the plane, that's not necessarily going to lead them immediately to the black boxes, where the data, even more important the data that they're looking for is. >> you know, the malaysian government apparently has 54 minutes of communication and reviewing flight data and so forth. they seem to be suggesting there is really nothing of value there, but give on the way the malaysians have handled this thing, i mean, do you trust them? >> you know, unfortunately, it's very hard to believe in the

validity of any of the information coming out of malaysia at this point in time. i got to the point where anything that's known, unless it's been confirmed and verified by a more outside reliable source by another government's investigators, the transcript of the last transmissions of the pilots, all that information, le unless it's independently verified, i don't have a trusting in any of their validity. >> turning off the transponder and in the very calming communication, all right, good night. all within minutes of each other. what does that suggest to you? >> well, as it's known, it is, it's troubling. the calming, all right, good night, by itself also, we don't know for sure, i don't know who's listened to that transcript and we don't know there actually wasn't an error in reporting that information. if it came out very calm, all right, good night, all by itself, that, to me, looks like

an anomaly and an abnormality use in communication from those pilots. we need to find out how we know that and accuracy? >> shortly thereof or after, a hard left turn heading west. then pings go on and on for hours and hours. it has baffled so many people, how about you? >> well, i was absolutely. i mean, there's clearly something catastrophic happened to the plane late in this plane's journey. now, what caused it whether it was accidental or whether it was criminal in nature, we're relying upon the validity to point out in the direction. i lean to the direction of it being criminal in nature. without more context on the information and knowing the validity of what has come out, it's hard to say. >> you don't think flight 370 has actually landed somewhere, do you?

>> i don't think it has. i think we would have figured it out by now. >> will we find it? it took 73 years to find the titanic. this is a huge field of search and we knew roughly where the titanic went down but we have no idea where this thing may have gone down. >> i think we will, in fact, find this plane. i don't think it will happen any time soon. i don't think it will be any longer than a couple of years. there are going to be enough searching and more clues that will come up and someone will find this plane, i am afraid it just may take a couple years. >> christopher voss, thank you for being with us. good to see you. >> my pleasure, gregg, to be on. four years since obamacare became law but many americans still facing uncertainty over what this law will bring as a key deadline approaches just days from now. americans file their taxes this time of the year, a new warning about criminals posing as the irs. to try to get your money. we'll tell you how to protect yourself, coming up.

money can sign up for medicaid and get it free or get a subsidy from the government. from other people they are paying a lot more and their deductibles are going up. if you combine that with the fact that the networks are smaller, fewer choices of doctors, fewer choices of hospitals, people are look at this and saying this is not worth it especially with the younger crowd, we call the young inconvincibles. why sign up for something that is more than a car payment if you think you will not use it. >> can you sign it after the fact. you talked about the political impact. i looked at the poll today showing obamacare is losing support. by significant numbers. that makes nancy pelosi's claim a couple of days ago baffling. listen. >> we could not be prouder. i believe it is a inwe are. and it is so-called the affordable care act. the affordable care act.

i know you didn't intend any compliment or derogatory -- affordable. affordable. affordable. there is a reason. affordable. affordable. affordable. >> same person who predicted the democrats were going to retake the house of representatives a few years ago. is the opposite more likely, that obamacare is a loser for democrats in the midterms? >> it could be the case. what she is doing does not surprise me. democrats cannot run away from this. especially those who voted for it. the republican party and identified groups are pummeling them in their home districts and home states with advertising, tying them to the law. you cannot run away from this. democrats are trying to embrace it and promote what is good about it. there are things that people like: keeping your kids on insurance until 26.

no lifetime limits. democrats are promoting what everyone likes and hope it outweighs all of the negatives. >> health care accounts for a sixth of our economy, a huge part of our economy. changing it had to be carefully thought out but this was thrown together behind closed doors and no one who actually voted for it read the 906 pages. she said "we veto -- have to pass the bill to find out what is in it." >> when the law came out of the gate i considered it a frankenstein bill with so many problems. they needed to move something. everyone made compromises. this is what you end up with. what she said, it is not what i wanted either. i want it to be a single-payer program so it is a weird hybrid of a bill that now is making a hot of people unhappy. >> i bet she didn't read it,

still. good to talk to you, as always. that does it for us. >> "media buzz" is up next. today i have new campbell's chuy spicy chicken quesadilla soup. she gives me chunky before every game. i'm very souperstitious. haha, that's a good one! haha!
