"echo" will use sophisticated listening equipment to try to verify thosher those electronic pulses were coming from the missing jetliner's black boxes. the chinese vessel that reported detecting those pulses on friday and saturday is working in water nearly 15,000 feet deep. angus houston, who is coordinating the search, warned that there are lots of noises in ree ocean. >> we're dealing with very deep dter. we're dealing with an environment where sometimes you can get false indications.

>> reporter: the separate signals picked up today were 300 nautical miles away, detected by a pinger locator onboard this australian ship, "the ocean ieldld." >> "ocean shield" is probably the best equipped of all the ships out there to investigate this sort of acoustic occurrence. she obviously has the towed pinger, but she also has a remotely operated vehicle which is highly capable. >> reporter: officials also revealed today that a correction to existing satellite data has teams focusing on the southernmost part of the search area. in malaysia, families prayed. with no wreckage identified, some prayed for a miracle and for 370's safe return home. without concrete evidence, akin're clinging to hope. now, this search is taking on new urgency.

the batteries on those locater beacons on those black boxes are only supposed to last for about a month after they're submerged. today, jeff, was the 30th day of the search. >> glor: seth doane, thank you very much. e,ight 370 exposed one major gap in air security: the widespread lack of passport screening by most countries. two passengers onboard were traveling on stolen passports. that's now prompted the u.s. to add screening for all passengers leaving the country. here's mark albert. >> reporter: the u.s. screens air travelers through many databases, looking for terrorists, wanted criminals and more. their passports are also screened through interpol's stolen and lost travel document database, but, until now, only for incoming passengers, not fose leaving. now, the documents of all departing passengers will be checked to make sure they're not fraudulent. the change came to light friday during a congressional hearing. john wagner from customs and border protection told texas

jacresswoman sheila jackson-lee his agency started screening creeports of departing flyers after flight 370 disappeared. >> will you continue? >> absolutely. assuring people are properly credentialed and we know who they are is a key piece of that. >> reporter: andrew farrelly is a former director of tracking programs at customs and border protection. will adding this database make passengers safer? >> i think that, coupled with this information and the new abilities to act on that information, definitely makes air travel a lot safer. de reporter: farrelly says c.b.p. debated making the change for years but did not have nge gh staff or resources to track down all the passports that might be flagged. tr there were other priorities that required attention, particularly on outbound. n,is event, you know, this tragic event of the malaysia flight really does offer some highlights to things that you can do better. >> reporter: customs and border protection tells cbs news the

new passport screening happens behind the scenes and shouldn't delay outgoing international flights. jeff? >> glor: mark albert, thank you. odyfamily's odyssey at sea has captured worldwide attention and at times criticism this weekend. eric and charlotte kaufman were stranded in a 35-foot sailboat as they traveled around the world with a one-year old and a three-year-old. ase one-year-old was sick but now is safe. don dahler has more. >> reporter: a navy warship's daring rescue was the latest step in an effort to save a very sick baby and her family stranded in the pacific ocean. eric and charlotte kaufman and their daughters, cora and lyra, had been stuck about 900 miles offshore since thursday when their sailboat, the "rebel heart," lost its steering and

communications. at that point, one-year-old lyra had an infection that had stopped responding to medicine, and a rash covered her body. the california air national guard immediately dispatched four medics, who parachuted into the water and reached the boat late thursday night. major bryan finnerty is with the 129th rescue wing. >> it is a very empty part of ocean they were in that made it difficult. >> reporter: the crew stabilized lyra and stayed on board until the u.s.s. "vandegrift" arrived last night. early this morning, they brought the family on board using an inflatable craft. charlotte's sister, sariah english, says the child is doing well. >> the rash is going away, and she is just becoming the happy little one-year-old that she is. >> reporter: disaster struck the kaufmans when they were two weeks into trip around the world. they left mexico on march 19th with plans to sail across the pacific to new zealand and had been chronicling their adventure on their blog. they've sparked backlash online about bringing young children on such a long trip and the cost incurred to rescue them, which

the coast guard is not disclosing. >> it's been very overwhelming. this is not what we expected when we planned to sail around the world. >> reporter: the u.s.s. "vandegrift" is now on its way back to san diego, where lyra will receive medical treatment. the navy ship is expected to arrive midweek. don dahler, cbs news, new york. >> glor: a huge party became a riot last night near the university of california, santa barbara. much of the mayhem was posted in videos online. o was a crowd of 15,000 people, and, at one point, police responded to reports of a stabbing. the crowd started pelting them with beer bottles and more. 44 people wound up in the hospital, over 100 were arrested. in south africa this week, oscar pistorius will likely testify in his own defense at his murder trial. accused of killing his s alfriend, he'll try to convince a judge it was all a terrible mistake. here's debra patta. r reporter: the story: pistorius spent the last week of a recess mentally preparing expelf to take the stand. it's expected a pathologist will be the first witness for the

defense, followed by pistorius, who faces several days of grueling cross-examination. >> she gave an opinion... >> reporter: he will square off against state prosecutor gerrie dog" who is nicknamed "the bulldog" in south africa because of his relentless style of interrogation. prosecution sources say the toves are off this week, and there will be no special treatment for pistorius. possibly the greatest irony for a man who fought so hard to be regarded as equal. expeafrican defense attorney rudi krause says he expects nel to be merciless. >> reporter: not only will he e ve to withstand the ruthless cross-examination this week, but

he will have to try to hold his emotions in check-- a hard task given that he has broken down many times sobbing and retching during the prosecution's case. there are key questions he needs th answer in court. coude fail to notice that his girlfriend was not lying in bed otxt to him before shooting? why didn't he shout out a warning before firing four shots through a locked bathroom door? ard who did neighbors hear screaming in terror in the early hours of valentine's morning? his answers could determine whether or not the judge believes his version of events. debra patta, cbs news, johannesburg, south africa. >> glor: the duke and duchess of cambridge are just arriving monday morning local time for a three-week trip to new zealand and australia. it is their first overseas trip with prince george. here's kelly cobiella. >> reporter: prince george may be the heir to the british throne, but his parents want to be the picture of a modern

family, so will and kate have taken their eight-month-old son on a business trip. when prince charles and princess diana took nine-month-old william down under in 1983, it was revolutionary; royal babies always stayed home with the nanny. but charles and di took the baby on the road along with a team of 20, including a chef just for william. the young prince was a hit. >> must have ran out of food. ( laughter ) >> reporter: will and kate have a team of a dozen. there is a hairdresser for the duchess, a nanny for george. their every move will be tracked on twitter, #royalvisitnz. but this is a working trip, to win over the people who don't see the need for a royal family. royal commentator, roya nikkhah: >> there is a megawatt rock star quality about them when you see them abroad. add an eight-month-old baby to the mix, i suspect this trip will buy the monarchy another 100 years in australia and new zealand.

>> reporter: the public may not see much of george. he has no official schedule and could spend the bulk of his first overseas tour safely tucked away with his nanny. kelly cobiella, cbs news, nndon. >> glor: severe thunderstorms are pounding the southeast today, and they won't let up soon. the heavy rain is already theating heavy flooding in parts of east texas, overwhelming roads and parking lots and washing up against homes. up to four inches of rain is expected across a wide stretch of the area and more flooding could follow. no tornado warnings yet, but people are advised to prepare for the worst. later, the ads are designed to scare, but will they change drivers' behavior? and 30 years of tetris stlebrated 29 stories high. those stories when the "cbs evening news" continues.

over those faulty ignition switches. the bad switches can disable safety systems, including power steering and air bags. the repairs could take months to finish. the government is releasing a ageres of ads this week that use alolent imagery in the fight against texting or talking while driving. will the ads make a difference? here's annee-marie green. >> reporter: this multimillion- dollar ad buy is meant to shock and scare drivers into changing their behavior. th's a tactic that works, 's arding to the national highway traffic safety ghwanistration. studies in california, new york and delaware showed ad campaigns combined with increased enforcement caused handheld phone use to drop by a third. the reductions were smaller in communities without the ad out thgn. >> if you drive buzzed, it could cost you around $10,000. in reporter: this drunken driving ad combines the threat n. punishment with humiliation. >> you could lose everything. >> you have to grab them at that emotional level.

>> reporter: american university sor essor leonard steinhorn says the most effective campaigns use shame, embarrassment or humor rather than just fear and threats. >> do you legitimize the behavior or make it seem like, by doing that, people look at you and wonder, you know, where are you coming from? >> reporter: in australia, the pinkie campaign poked fun at men who speed by embarrassing them with a physical gesture that in australia means a man is overcompensating for what he lacks. the tag line: "speeding, no one thinks big of you." it is now a case study professor steinhorn uses in his class. >> a far better approach is to make it seem embarrassing or unintelligent or something that people do that you don't want to be associated with, that it's sort of a stupid behavior. >> i want to give you some things about getting ready in the morning. >> reporter: after this dramatic c.d.c. anti-smoking campaign ran, the number of non-smokers urging smokers to quit nearly doubled.
