10:01 am
balanced debates. >> stunning new study finds american companies are getting a major hiring decision all wrong. not about employing the large work force but who they have running things from the top down. how bad managing is proving costly to our economy. we begin with a fox news alert. it is on the hunt for malaysia airlines flight 370 ongoing. planes and many ships combing a vast new section of the indian ocean. about 700 miles northeast of the original search area. chinese state media reporting three objects that were recovered, they're adding to that that they are not part of the missing plane. bad weather also is hampering the search still. it is being done now at night and about to enter its fourth week. david piper streaming live from bangkok, thailand, with the
10:02 am
latest. >> those search planes reporting seeing objects floating in the southern indian ocean. no confirmation they are debris from the plane. the chinese planes which reported the sightings said they were red, white and orange. china is now reporting the objects its ships recovered didn't come from the aircraft. china had two ships in the search area. more bad weather is on the way. the search area moved to a new location northeast of the earlier one after satellite data situated the plane had been traveling faster, thus burning more fuel. the new location near perth allows planes to search longer over the zone. the malaysian authorities said the new data showed there was no chance of anybody surviving as the plane must have run out of fuel and crashed in the indian ocean. today the acting transport minister seemed to contradict that suggesting there was still hope.
10:03 am
>> they said no matter how remote, hope against hope please will continue to find survivors. i said that from the beginning. no matter how remote, i'm always hoping against hope and i'm praying. also in any remote matter has always been to find for survivors. >> this is of course giving new hope to the families of the passengers and crew. there is no information at the moment to substantiate that. >> the search for the missing plane is focusing on a brand-new area. we will discuss the challenges and hopes of finding any wreckage, as well as what resources the u.s. has in the area with veteran pilot retired u.s. navy captain chuck nash. that's straight ahead.
10:04 am
secretary of state john kerry heading back to europe for a meeting with his russian counterpart over the crisis in ukraine. kerry's change of course comes just one day after president obama and russian president vladimir putin spoke on the phone discussing a u.s. deal to ease tensions in the region. the u.s. is concerned about russia moving further into ukraine and annexing the eastern part of the country. during the call, president obama told president putin that the u.s. strongly condemns russia's back troops from ine and urged the border. what a tough story to report and harder one to watch. new developments in the massive and deadly mudslide in washington state. officials say they are all but abandoning hope of finding any survivors. so far at least 25 bodies have been located. crews only recovered 17 victims. one week into that search, 90 people confirmed missing.
10:05 am
domini dominick i ddenatal from washinn onsite. >> it's getting crippler by the day. a short while from now, 10:37, washington state people here are being asked to observe a moment of silence. marking the moment where the mudslide hit. it's been difficult going for the national guard and other rescue crew workers there. the workers are up to their waist, up to their chest in that mud. with the weather today and tomorrow, an inch of rain coming on top of that mud is going to make the recovery all the more complicated. listen how the officials have been describing that. >> it was miserable to begin with. as you all know, it's rained hef lit last few days.
10:06 am
it made the quicksand even worse. i cannot possibly tell you how long this will last or when or if they will find more bodies. we always want to hold out hope. we have to at some point expect the worst. >> this is the latest footage from the town of darington to the east this morning. we know an emergency service road is being opened at some point today to led ground vehicles in to help with the recovery. a press pool has just left to take images from the top side of the hillside where the mud slid from and swamped the community of oso. 17 bodies officially accounted for. they've been identified by the medical examiner's office. 26 bodies now recovered. one new body located on friday. because of the bad weather we've been having here, they haven't been able to retrieve that. they do expect to find more bodies today, but it's very
10:07 am
difficult. they locate them, gps tag them and send a helicopter in to try to lift them out. bodies being removed aren't corpses in their entirety, sometimes it's a torso, a leg or an arm. it's extremely grueling work from people on the ground. recovery workers are now suffering from stress and fatigue. it's proven to be a phenomenally difficult recovery. today we expect an update around 6:00 local time. 9:00 p.m. eastern. officials are saying we expect a substantial increase in the number of people they've been able to identify. it is grim going here. >> hence my warning at the start about how difficult it is to report on this. disturbing facts out there, updated numbers from you, as well. very sad. thank you. we'll check back with you. fox extreme weather alert.
10:08 am
wet and windy conditions on tap for much of the country this weekend. the south bracing for severe storms while parts of the midwest could see even more snow. janice,ing it looks like spring will never get here. >> in some areas, yes. more snow across the midwest, ohio river valley and interior sections of the northeast towards new england. we've got a mish-mash of weather here. extreme storms possible in parts of central florida. we have a tornado watch in effect until 5:00 p.m. local time. we have several severe thunderstorm warnings around orlando up towards south of daytona beach, with large hail and very damaging winds possible as well as heavy rainfall. we've got this wider system bringing some snow, wintry mix as well as heavy rain across the northeast. you can see where we are getting snow across west virginia, around the great lakes area, across the border of canada in
10:09 am
towards northern new england. several inches of snow. a lot of rain for the i-95 corridor. in some cases, we could see two to three inches of rain. that's prompting flash flood watches and warnings. that is going to cause some problems certainly. then we look at the northwest. incredible amounts of rain. record rainfall for seattle down through portland. just in the last 48 hours we saw dominick reporting this grim situation for landslides, mudslides continues across the northwest. several inches of rain in the last 48 hours. more rain in the forecast. the average for february/march is around 7.5 inches. we received over 15 inches. the prior record was just under 15 inches. that's how much rainfall this area is getting. the potential for more flooding, more mud slides and rock slides for this region. it's an ongoing situation,
10:10 am
unfortunately, for this saturated ground. >> you are right about that unfortunately because people do not want to see that rain. >> it's precarious. >> thank you for that. >> janice always is spring. today new jersey governor chris christie is heading to vegas speaking at the republican jewish coalition spring leadership. this one day after a heated news conference where he defended a report he says clears him of any wrong doing in the george washington bridge lane closure scandal. critics say it lacks credibility since christie's office picked the lawyers who wrote the taxpayer funded report. christie's office facing investigations from the feds and state law makers, as well. coming up, a landmark department store engulfed in flames leaving fire investigators looking for a cause. we will tell you where next. >> did you hear this news this morning? an earthquake shaking los

breaking ranks with the white house. coming up with their own plan to fix o fix obamacare. they are either facing tough re-election battles this fall or come from states where obamacare is deeply unpopular. changes include making it more affordable. by offering a so-called lower cost copper plan they believe while spurring competition. another democratic senator jon tester saying he supports the plan. >> got an opportunity to improve it. we ought to take every weekend we can to do that. it's going to take democrats and republicans working together to improve it. i look forward to looking at any possible things that will make health insurance more affordable for people in the state of montana and throughout this country.
10:16 am
>> angela mccglowen. chris valholland. thank you for joining us. when you see democrats breaking from the white house, six in all. mary landrieu, heidi highcamp, angus main, a broad section of the country breaking ranks to offer this copper plan. do you think it will work? >> i just want to say too much, too little, too late. will it work? it probably will work. the reason they are fixing it now, self-preservation is the first law of nature. shouldn't you try to fix a law before it's enacted? >> good question, doug. >> first of all, we've seen a lot of progress the last couple
10:17 am
of months with the affordable care act. 6 million people signed up for exchanges. we are approaching the end of the sign-up period. we've got millions more through medicaid. there have been a lot of progress for the affordable care act. this is not really a break from the white house. what they are actually saying is we want to keep the law but fix it. that's where the public is. most importantly, when you look at these battleground states in the senate, that's where the voters and the states are. they don't want to repeal the affordable care act. they want to keep it and fix it when necessary. they are aligned with where their voters are. the republicans are out of touch with where the voters are. voters don't want to repeal obamacare a million times like they voted for in the house. >> if it's not a break, why is senate majority leader harry reid saying he won't allow anything to be proposed to it on the senate floor to impact what obamacare currently is?
10:18 am
>> remember the deadline for signing up is the 31st. >> is it? >> let me finish. i think congress and the administration, both sides, should take a look at what worked and what didn't. there are some ideas in this plan that might be a good improvement, maybe they aren't. at this point i'm not entirely sure we should be -- we still have two or three days left for the enrollment period. let's assess after that period of time. >> doug -- >> in the house, they don't want to fix it. they want to repeal it. >> this is a soliloquy as opposed to a debate. the president said this will cut the deficit in half. we've seen people lose their health care insurance and the people who are signing up, last i heard, democrats want to extend that deadline from march 31st maybe to april. >> let me get in here quickly.
10:19 am
>> that is incorrect. the deadline is march 31st. >> okay. >> if you have begun the process to sign up for affordable health care you, have an extension. the deadline hasn't been put forward. >> extension, extension, extension. >> if you are in line and if you are in line and you've begun the process, you have extra time. i think that's flexibility. that's what people want. >> you are supposed to fix the law before you enact the law. nancy pelosi, the democratic leader at that time said we need to pass the bill before we find out what's in the bill. that's why we are in the mess we are in today. >> reality with any legislation, you know this, is that it always can be fine-tuned. the prescription drug bill, massive government funded prescription drug plan george bush and republicans passed has been amended and changed throughout the last couple of
10:20 am
years. >> that is correct. but doug -- >> there was an extension to that as well so people could sign up later. >> as you already know, this affordable health care act has been facing all kinds of complications. there is news the maryland governor is tossing out the state's $125 million health care exchange due to a host of technical problems it received similar to what the national plan did. the states are looking to use connecticut's technology with this complication mounting and more mounting, what can democrats expect to do to win this the mid terms? >> first of all, if you look at most polling in these battleground states, the number one issue is the economy and jobs. i think that's what democrats and the president has been talking about. you haven't heard much about that among republicans. secondly, as i said before, they don't want to repeal the law. voters want to keep it and fix it. if you look at the generic numbers, we are tied. this is a very tough election
10:21 am
cycle for democrats. >> no, it isn't. >> we are competing in very tough senate states. >> it's not tied. >> yes, it is. look at real clear politics and the battleground poll put out with another republican, 43-43. >> let me give angela the last word here. >> poll numbers do not win elections. the reason why you're seeing folks come out now, those independents and those who ran in 2012 along with the ones up for re-election now, self-preservation is the first law of nature. i hope voters in november vote their conscience and protest that these members voted for this bill for a president's legacy not for better policy. >> we'll end it there. i have a feeling even after we finish you'll still be talking about this. >> thanks, kelly. >> thanks. >> nice job, angela. >> that is nice. very complimentary. 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook
10:22 am
los angeles last night. the quake causing minor damage, cracking walls and leaving some people without power, triggering a rock slide. there were dozens of aftershocks that rattled the area. geologists say there may be more on the way. will carr is in los angeles with the latest. any shaking going on right now? >> i was in santa monica last night. i would probably describe it as being wobbly. other people closer to it described it as being a long, slow roll. it's important to note this is the second noticeable earthquake this area has had in just the past two weeks. it hit about 9:09 last night and centered about 20 miles southeast of los angeles. it was strong enough to cause that rock slide which ended up flipping a car upside fortunate car only had minor injuries. it knocked goods off shelves in stores, displaced about 50 people because of damage to their homes. it knocked out power for 2,000
10:23 am
moyer people. overall, there were minor injuries. nobody was seriously hurt with this earthquake. it broke several water mains. since the earthquake hit there have been more than 100 aftershocks, including one that was 3.4 a short time ago. we are told there could be more in the coming days. it was felt at dodger stadium as dodgers were playing a preseason game against the angels. >> little tremor here in the ballpark. i'm not sure if the folks felt it, but we certainly felt it in press box row. a tremor and only that, thank goodness. >> legendary dodgers broadcaster vin scully. the mayor of los angeles asked people to prepare for potentially the next earthquake, having water, things like that, after having two in the past two
10:24 am
weeks. other people have more of a lighthearted take on this. one man on twitter tweeted, i have to quote this, "we are all too busy doing naked yoga to notice anything under a 4, hash tag my day in l.a." i'm not sure what is scarier, the earthquake or the nude guy tweeting seconds after it. >> oversharing. i will not retweet that. thank you so much. in this day and age, that's how the story is told. on that note -- >> search planes are still returning tomorrow to remote area in the indian ocean to scan for any possible remnants of the missing malaysia jet. why the search moved hundreds of miles north. i'll talk to tv's hurcules actor.
10:25 am
10:26 am
10:29 am
welcome back. thanks for spending part of your afternoon with us. i want to bring an update on the hunt for malaysia airlines flight 370 entering its fourth week. investigators focusing on another area on the indian ocean. the search has moved 700 miles north. when they got new information that suggested the plane actually traveled faster than first thought. there are chinese and australian search planes. they spotted debris today they thought could be from the plane. there is no way to know for sure. some of the objects recovered were not from the plane. let me confirm that breaking today. at least three objects ended up to not be malaysia air 370. i want to welcome as well to talk about the long and frustrating search, chuck nash, a pilot, retired u.s. navy
10:30 am
captain. great to have you, captain nash. thank you. it's hard to believe we've been talking about this for three weeks. now they have this new search. i'm going to go a little off course to ask you this first. about the black box because time is ticking away literally. it only has a week or less if it performs as specified to give off the ping and give the answers it may hold. why is two hours enough? initially the ntsb told me two former chairmen it was 30 minutes. they fought hard to get it extended for two hours but it records oaf itself. are the last two hours before a potential crash the most significant? >> there are two recorders in the aircraft. one is the cockpit voice recorder which has a 2 1/2 hour play. what it does is loops over itself. that is an event recorder.
10:31 am
one of the things on the checklist is after you have an event in the aircraft where something goes wrong you have to execute emergency procedures, the last thing you do is pull the circuit breaker on that voice recorder to make sure that it doesn't record over the conversations that took place immediately prior to and during the emergency. the other recorder in the aircraft lasts for weeks. that is the flight data recorder. that's the one that also has a pinger. that's what they are looking for because that will describe engine speed, fuel consumption, altitude, all of that to reconstruct the flight path and a lot of other critical systems data to know whether there was a fire onboard, something else mechanical going on. that is the one that the navy pinger locator is trying to find. not just the wreckage to do the forensics, but to get that flight data recorder. >> they really don't know the
10:32 am
path of this plane, but there is a new theory if it went faster than originally thought, it would have used more fuel and crashed as a result. does that suggest to you with all your years as an aviator and out on the waters in the navy that it was trying to get somewhere potentially and just stopped short of land? >> it could. i've taken nothing off the table during this because until the wreckage shows up and we start to piece this, more data to piece this together, we have to keep everything on the table. mechanical, chemical or electrical issue that would have caused this to deviate and go to the divert field, the first hard turn it made we thought it made would have taken it directly toward that divert field. the secondary information we got, amplifying information was from thai radar which showed a more gentle sweeping turn up
10:33 am
toward the northern part of the south china sea. at that point, things start to get really sketchy. all of a sudden it's a dive 12,500 feet. all these altitude -- >> but we don't really know. >> no. we do not know. the thing that gives me faith moving this search area up 700 miles is boeing is involved now. they are on the accident investigation team. they have all the knowledge of the aircraft. they can plug in various what-ifs and narrow this data down. >> it was interesting initially boeing was the only one that had information off the engines which continued to report in for a period of time. at this point, what resources do we have in the area for searching? you're very familiar with what our capability is. there were three americans onboard. are we doing everything we can? lastly, you did mention the thai satellite. what kind of -- how accurate
10:34 am
would that be in our search with our resources? >> the thai radar is what gave the initial indication that the aircraft was moving faster than what we thought. what boeing did was plug that information in. then there were probably some assumptions made as to how long the aircraft stayed low and fast. then the thing that holds the whole thing together is it stayed airborne 6 1/2 hours after it disappeared. that means that drives the rest of the scenario so they can back that up. the assets we have down there now, we've got an area that's moved to the north. it shrunk significantly in size. the assets were up to six to eight ships. some have helicopters. now we have ships on station. they can launch helicopters to investigate wreckage while the fixed wing aircraft do the fast search over the top. we've got about 11 out there now. we've got the right number of assets. the prudent number of assets and the u.s. navy embarked its bluefin 21, which is a remote
10:35 am
underwater vehicle and the towed pinger locate on an australian ship. it's teed up, ready to go. we need to find that first piece of wreckage. >> until we do, we don't really know. >> right. we don't know. >> please keep having this conversation with me so our viewers and i can learn more about this. it's such a mystery. time is so of the essence in these poor families. thank you so much, captain nash. >> you bet. hollywood actor kevin sorbo grew up in minnesota. his father a teacher, mother a nurse. when they asked him what he wanted to do in life he said clearly, he wanted to be an actor. today kevin sorbo is living the life he always dreamed up. he is helping others live their
10:36 am
goals. he enjoyed top ratings on the tv series hercules. it aired in 176 countries. now the internationally known star is the lead character in the movie "god's not dead." the film focuses on the growing clash of beliefs on college campuses between christians and atheists. >> fill in the paper with three little words, "god is dead." >> i'm a christian myself. as an actor, it's fun to play different roles. i have friends that are atheists. i see so much anger out there in that atheist world which my friends laugh about, too. why do you get so upset about something you don't believe in? >> when he isn't working on films and television shows, he invests time to help young people stay in school and succeed in life. since 1997, he's taken the lead role in a program called world fit for kids. an after school program that is
10:37 am
making a difference. through the program, kevin reaches out to kids living in the inner city of los angeles. >> we've grown to 12 schools, 12,000 kids. l.a. has a 50% dropout rate. the kids we work with we have a 98% graduation rate. 67% higher gpa. i think the school system hates what we are doing because we are doing a better job than what they are doing. >> they start the day with physical education. second hour focusses on school work. the third deals with life skills dealing with the real world of health and wellness. world fit for kids has become the best after school program in california, he says. equipping every child with the tools to get a good education. he is urging members of the congress to expand the program. >> i go to d.c. every year and meet with congress members saying i have this program we should put in every school system. it's proven it works. all i do is get a pat on the
10:38 am
back both sides of the aisle. it's like this purposeful dumbing down of kids in the country. >> that's not keeping kevin helping kids live their lives beyond the dream. >> they are being raised by single parents, a lot of these kids. they feel they're victims of their environment. i tell them, don't let anyone, especially yourself, set your limitations in your life. dream the dreams you want to dream. go after those dreams. >> go after the dreams. he is so right about that. make sure you go after your dreams. >> that's how you should use celebrity. >> that is exactly how you should use celebrity. now he is actually using it as a great platform to help others. >> great story. i want to be one of those kids. >>. >> meanwhile, more people use this as a reason to go on disability worldwide than any other medical condition? lower back pain. coming up, we are going to tell you if you don't want to take the pills and use the creams and

10:40 am
or other types of cancer have happened. blood, livernd nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your door should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible.
10:43 am
welcome back. there is an eye-opening new study about the kind of hiring decisions made by u.s. companies. according to new research, the vast majority of american businesses are not hiring the right type of managers. meaning they are not choosing the best candidate for the job. what's more, gallup found only 1-10 people have what it takes to be a great manager. ed, do you have what it takes? >> well, actually, this week i learned i'm not a great manager from someone who works with me. we can only have so many skills, right, kelly? >> i've got good skills. bad managers can cause businesses to lose billions of dollars each year. if the company is hiring the wrong kind of managers, how do they turn it around to stay competitive and productive? >> it is important. first of all the study shows 82% based on the gallup survey were
10:44 am
failing at that. that actually really hurts productivity. if you think about it, when you're having to hire somebody then fire that person or relocate them within the company, that's nonrevenue producing. your spending a lot of time trying to find a new home for that person. not getting down to the business your shareholder or investors want you to be doing. it slows you down. it does cost a lot of money. corporations are falling behind if they don't do a good job with it. >> i was surprised to learn this. to see it was so high at 82%. so many companies vet their employees and particularly managers, they go through a vetting process. is this a case of these managers being hired because of political aspirations or politics in the work place or because of productivity? >> i think this has a lot to do with likability. i had many managers throughout my career. the ones that motivated me the most, like head football coaches
10:45 am
or managers of a baseball team. they need to be great motivators. those people who really motivated me came because i liked them. i wanted to listen to them. if i don't like somebody, i tune out. i'm not going to listen to anything they have to say. what a lot of companies do will focus on their past work experiences, education. they don't really focus on is this person likable, can they motivate my people? companies need to do internal market research and find out what is it my employees are looking for to motivate them? when you find that, you will find better productivity and less turnover, for sure. >> gallup also finds a great manager will have the ability to motivate employees, handle adversity, create a culture of accountability and responsibility. build trust and transparency and great relationships and make did he significants based on productivity, not politics. it's right in line with what you're talking about. let's talk about the employees,
10:46 am
as well. let's not keep this on managers hurting american corporations. there are also some employees disengaged. we have a poll of that. this number, look at this. 29% actively engaged. those are workers who come to work, have the passion to achieve the mission. not engaged, 54%? that's high. >> that is more a culture of the company itself. setting expectations. making sure people feel a connection to the company. if they are not engaged, the question is why aren't they engaged? s there was a famous study many years ago called the hawthorne study. not to get into the wonkyness of the study, when people feel a connection or they are relevant, productivity increases. that is what companies aren't doing a great job at. i'm around fox news all the time. everybody there has some sort of connection to that company. they feel a motivation.
10:47 am
they love working there for the most part. because of that, that's why productivity is good. you have the greatest cable channel, but putting that aside, you need to have a connection. always a connection. >> thank you very much. goes a long way to pat someone on the back. to some health news now. if you suffer from lower back pain, it turns out one in ten of us worldwide do suffer from a back condition. is there anything you can do about it besides popping those pills? drfrm m alternatives next. this is for you. ♪ [ male announcer ] bob's heart attack didn't come with a warning. today his doctor has him on a bayer aspirin regimen to help reduce the risk of another one.
