with side-scanning sonar that would create a sort of map of the ocean floor and the obstacles and certainly any wreckage if indeed the plane is down there. officials have been very cautious to point out that it is still too early to know and would likely be days before it could be confirmed these underwater signals have anything to do with the missing jetliner. norah. >> all right, seth thank you. oscar pistorius took the witness stand in his own defense today. the disabled olympic sprinter is accused of murdering his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. he apologized in court to her family and said the shooting was a mistake. >> there hasn't been a moment since this tragedy happened that i haven't thought about your family. i wake up every morning and you're the first people i think of, the first people i pray for. i can't imagine the pain and the sorrow and the emptiness that

creating the potential for flooding across not only the deep south but also the northeast, where the heavy rain will combine with snow melt to make a big factor there, potentially on area rivers. so there's a lot to watch over the next 24 hours. gayle. >> snow and spring should not go together but we thank you, megan. the future king of england is on his first official trip. little prince george arrived in new zealand this morning along with his parents. that would be prince william and kate. paul harrison of britain sky news is following the royal tour. >> reporter: a reassuring wipe of her son's cheek, and kate introduced prince george to the southern hemisphere. concentrating on carrying her 8-month-old down the steps, the wind-swept dutchess also had to contend with the weather. prince george by comparison appeared unfazed, seemingly eager to meet his first foreign prime minister as this historic
