also coming up, the hunt for potential life in outer space takes a step forward. astronomers say they have discovered the most earthlike planet yet. it is only a mere 500 light-years away. we had to algeria as the country awaits the results of its presidential election. he's poised to hold on for a fourth term. let's begin with the search and rescue efforts in the tragic ferry accident in south korea. hundreds of passengers are missing, most high school students, after the ship sank on wednesday. the search for survivors is officially still going on, but hopes of finding any are quickly

fading. friends and family standby in shock. andrew is covering events for us. it is 8:00 in south korea. night has fallen. walk us through the search and rescue efforts. >> the day's event started on a grim note. south koreans woke up to find the death count has risen dramatically. we now have possibly 28 confirmed bodies which appear to have floated up from inside the ship wearing life jackets. that means there are still about 270 missing, presumed dead. there is a spark of hope. people hope there may be some left alive inside the whole -- hull. divers entered the hull and cafeteria where many bodies were

expected to be. sort of a surprise no bodies. the cafeteria was empty. that is a bit of a mystery. there are plans to pump oxygen into the vessel to assist survivors. i am not sure the status of that. a floating salvage crane has appeared on site, soon to be joined by two more. salvage operations will lift it out of the water. that may begin as early as tomorrow. that is the latest on the search-and-rescue. >> prosecutors are seeking an arrest warrant for the captain. what more can you tell us about the investigation? are we any closer to knowing what happened? >> no, but what appears clear is the captain and many members of the crew behaved in a shoddy manner, a very unprofessional manner, and made all the wrong decisions. it is hardly surprising prosecutors are seeking an arrest warrant for this man we

now know was one of the first to leave the ship. no one expects a captain to go down with the ship the 21st century, but to be one of the first off and notfor the passengers to be told to remain in the cabin, this raises questions over his morality and professionalism. one issue that has arisen today is the tragedy has claimed another victim. the vice president of the school affected was found hanging today in a spot overlooking the sea inner parent suicide, in despair of what has been going on, so the tragedy continues to mount. people believe it may have hit a rock. because car believes there are no rocks in the area and the ship was on course -- to coast guard believes there are no rocks in the area of the ship was on course. it is possible descartes goes shifted suddenly -- it is

possible that cargo shifted suddenly. if not secured properly, this can happen with fairies. given the record of the crew, it does seem feasible they failed to properly secure the far -- cargo. this is just speculation. until they left the hull, we will not know. >> this is such a tragic event. friends and family are in shock and grief as details come out. what are some stories we are hearing? >> the stories are almost entirely tragic. the crew have not behaved in an appropriate manner. there is one shining example, a 22 year old. she was one of the crew. she's a poor girl from a poor family.

she had taken a job to assist her family. after the public address system had been giving the order to people to stay still she on her own initiative started telling passengers get out and was physically shoving passengers toward the exits. many of those passengers did survive. she was seen without a life jacket. she had given her stray passenger. she was up to her chest in water. tragically, her body was first to be identified. that is an inspirational story i'll a sad one --albeit a settlement. the media has been focusing on a six-year-old girl who survived. she was saved by one of the high school students, but tragically her mother and brother are still missing. these kinds of stories are starting to come out. i think there's a great deal of anger being focused at the

operator and crew, specifically the captain of the ferry. >> anger indeed as we wait to hear about what happened. andrew salmon, thank you for the update. president barack obama is sending a message for sanctions to vladimir putin following thursday's unexpected deal reached by russia, ukraine, and the west. it aims to end the escalating tensions in ukraine and the worst east-west crisis since the hope --cold war. president obama remains skeptical the kremlin will keep its word. >> over the last week, we have put in place additional consequences we can impose on the russians if we do not see actual improvement of the situation on the ground. we are coordinating with our european allies.

we have to be prepared to potentially respond to what continue to be efforts of interference by the russians in eastern and southern ukraine. >> that was the u.s. president speaking from the white house yesterday. a deal has been reached in geneva. how will it affect tensions on the ground in ukraine? we met with one separatist. he says he will not bow to pressure from key f -- kiev and expects ukraine to split. >> the flag of the self-proclaimed peoples republic flies over a checkpoint at the entrance to the town and defies attempts to assert authority in eastern ukraine. ukrainian reserve officer is the regional commander of the unit. he says his men are you the best

locals dislike him. they hide their identity for fear of prosecution under the new separatist laws. >> they are locals. we don't have any russians here. if anyone thinks we have russians here, they are wrong. we have people who know how to fight. >> he says is movement is motivated by frustration at corruption in the central government. he calls the central leaders and postures. his men hail as he rose the controversial police and claimed they were beaten by protesters. his anger is growing as what he sees as double standards. >> in some places, it is ok to seize town halls and establish a new government. they don't get prosecuted. they are peaceful patriots. we are acting exactly the same way, the same behavior. why are we bad and they are good?

>> for him, the growing bitterness between east and west ukraine is pushing the country apart. he says it is up to the people to decide what future they see for the nation. >> unity is impossible. we will either become a separate country or we will be part of russia. we are christians. they are catholics. that is why there will never be a united ukraine. >> any agreement signed by national leaders seems unlikely to have any affect at the local level here. that is until the demands of the people they say they represent are met. >> in algeria, the supporters of the president have been on the streets celebrating despite the fact results of yesterday's president obama have yet to be announced. the ailing incumbent is its

budget to win a controversial fourth term. his main rivals already rejected the vote citing fraud and irregular these. official results are expected to be announced shortly. will have the latest -- we will have the latest in the next half hour. now to the latest in the abduction of the schoolgirls. most students are still missing. only 2129 have returned. that announcement contradicts a previous statement by the military that said most have been freed. authorities are combing the forest in search of the students kidnapped on monday by islamist rebels. now to one of the deadliest accidents to ever strike not everest. 12 nepalese guides have died in an avalanche. the avalanche hit low on the

mountain between base camp and camp one. rescue efforts are ongoing. death tolls could rise because officials did not know the exact number trapped. he was a master of magical realism that brought the soul of latin america to millions of readers around the world. gabriel garcia marquez died thursday at the age of 87. the colombian author found international fame in 1967 with his book "100 years of solitude." to take a look at one of the biggest names in literature. >> even on his 87th birthday, he had time for his fans, greeting them outside his house in mexico city, on march 6 of this year. note affectionately as gabo, the writer spent the last 30 years of his life in mexico. his story started further south

in columbia in 1927. when the village's favorite son returned in 2007, he was met with a hero's welcome. a hometown that was to inspire the young writer, his novel takes place in what is believed by many to be a fictionalized place, the family saga was published in 1967. it was immediately hailed as a masterpiece of magical realtors and -- magical realism. the novel sold 30 million copies and made him an international author of summer down -- some renown. it was followed by other best sellers. in 1982, he received the nobel prize for literature. as well as fiction, he was a respected journalist, a staunch socialist, he wrote editorials

for a number of international titles including colombian spanish, and french dailies. shortly after his nobel win he felt the need to found his own newspaper. >> it is a way of keeping my political commitments alive because there is this risk i will become a statue a walking statue who just goes and collects prizes around the world. i want to be working. i want to be the director of the newspaper to actively participate in what is going on in my country, latin america and the world. >> his political convictions stretched to activism. he was close to fidel castro and supported movements to liberate latin american countries. he even mediated between colombian rebels and bogotá. this giant of latin american literature spent his final years out of the spotlight unlike the extraordinary body of work that

finds him on university reading lists and bookshelves the world over. >> a bit of news for you stargazers. nasa astronomers say they have discovered the most earthlike planet yet. it is similar in size to our own, not too hot or cold. take a look. >> it is 500 light-years away circling a red wharf star in a constellation. it has been named and it is the most earthlike planet ever found in space. >> is the first validated earth size planet in the inhabitable zone. this planet orbits the star every 130 days, which places it in the habitable zone. it is in a region where could have liquid water on the surface.

>> it was found by the orbiting telescope which has discovered 961 planets since it launched in 2009. only a few dozen are at a temperature that could sustain life. scientists think it asks in an orange glow from its son and his temperatures just above freezing. >> it orbits a star that is cooler and dimmer than the sun. while we may have found a planet the same size as earth that receives a similar amount of energy it orbits a very different star. perhaps instead of an earth twin we have discovered a cousin. >> it is so far away that not even nasa's next generation of telescope due to launch in 2018 will be able to study it in detail. the distant planet may remain forever a mystery. >> here are the headlines.

shock turns to anger and south korea. families remain hopeful as they demand answers. investigators focusing attention on the captain and crew. a deal is reached of ukraine's escalating tensions. but president obama remains cautious the kremlin will hold up it's part of the bargain. the world loses a library -- literary giant. gabriel garcia marquez passes away at 87. he helped put magical realism on the map. you're watching "live from paris." it is time to take a look at headlines internationally. we will start with the tragic story unfolding in south korea with the sinking ferry. >> is still dominating the international press. a photo of some relatives of the passengers still missing.

things to the accounts of survivors, a picture is starting to emerge of what happened on board. it is a grim picture. you can see the title. one thing that is unclear is why so many passengers were unable to escape. it took nearly two and a half hours for the ship to capsize. according to this article passengers were told to stay inside their cabins because it was too dangerous to go outside. >> the captain of the ship is coming under a lot of heat. he was reportedly among the first to leave the ship. >> that is according to an article in the leading daily in south korea. you can see the title. it says the ferry captain fled the sinking ship. he told his crew to tell the passengers to remain in their cabins boarded a lifeboat, and left the scene of the accident. when he was rescued by the coast

guard, the passengers were still being told to stay in their cabins. on top of that, it has emerged he was not even at the helm of the ship and the accident occurred. a lot of south korean media are saying it was the third officer in command of the ship of the accident took place. a lot of the south korean press is outraged. this is the editorial of the "korea times." it says far more people could have been saved if the captain and crew acted more responsibly. >> the tragic incident is still unfolding as search efforts are underway. let's talk politics. yesterday in algeria, the presidential election was held. >> even before results came in, the rival to the president said he would not recognize the election results. he said they were rigged.

a lot of other media have been critical of the president for even running in the first place because of his bad health. this is a cartoon. you can see him in a hospital bed with the i.v. drip that says five more years. it seems it is used ironically in this case. there's a huge algerian diaspora in france. and was not a lot of enthusiasm in france. there was a polling station opened in the north of paris for algerian citizens to vote. this article says a lot decided to go to the café instead because they did not feel like their vote counts. >> a lot of papers are continuing to react to the new prime minister's budget. >> the prime minister is facing

resistance within the socialist party. you can read it on the front page of the business daily. they are talking about a rebellion spreading within the socialist majority in parliament. many are upset with the savings plan. they say it is too harsh. many are demanding an amendment to the plan. 11 socialist m.p.'s have written a letter to the prime minister asking him to limit it, quite a big change. they say the plan is too much. this is a cartoon that shows it. you can see a socialist with his hands tied behind his back being force fed austerity measures. then comes along the new plan. socialists cannot follow it anymore. >> the death of the colombian author and literary giant gabriel garcia marquez is making headlines around the world. >> there is an outpouring of

emotion in the colombian press. it is important to note he was effectually known to friends and family as gabo. he was a national hero in columbia, but south america as well. he encouraged freedom movements. they say he is immortal. international papers are also paying tribute to him today. he was known for many of his novels including "100 years.'s they talk about how a literary giant is dead. they say the supreme storyteller managed to alter the shape of his country's reality and that of south america. >> thank you for a look at the international press. we continue with a look at the day's sports news.

we start with the latest results of the bundesliga. >> they one in frankfurt on thursday. he put them ahead in just two minutes on the clock. the host hit that 10 minutes later on the 20 minute mark. he found the net for the second consecutive week. they held on for three boasting eight points clear of the relegation place. they have high expectations of an 11th belgian title this year. they have an wobbly in the playoffs with just one win in their last four muchatches. things went from bad to worse in the six to 50 minute. they got the ball past the

japanese goalkeeper. three minutes later, they were back in it. defending gave him a bit of space for his 19th goal of the campaign. standard continued to press and got their reward. he sent the ball across the goal. he also found the net. 2-2 on finish. they can open up a six-point lead when they host on friday evening. they are chasing a first league title in almost two decades. the argentine does not want his players looking too far ahead. >> we are trying to isolate ourselves from everything else and trying to focus on how to succeed in a difficult match against a team that is very technically astute.

tidy and quick down the wings. they like to keep possession of the ball and are looking to steer clear of the relegation battle as soon as they can. we will be trying 100% to get something out of the match. all we care about is how we're going to play and control the match in a way that suits us. athletica faces chelsea on tuesday. they should have them available after he suffered an injury last weekend. the countdown to the champions league final into the final stages as the trophy was handed over to lisbon, the venue for this year's showpiece. the 2000 four winner to the trophy on a tour around the city. the women's trophy was also presented to the mayor. they handed over the cup and hope to win it back very soon.

>> i think for the whole club and everyone in germany, it is great having two german teams in last year's final. we wanted to go to the final in any case if what we did last year was unbelievable. not every team could do so. this year, we are in a good position to win a lot of titles again. we are on a good path at the moment. we want to be in the final again this year. >> lisbon last hosted the european cup in 1967. stadium will be the stage for the men's final. nadal disposed of seppi in straight sets. next up is david ferrer. djokovic was ruthless. davydenko went through. the swiss faces raonic.
