the clock is ticking. the secretary of state talking tough to london. but vladimir putin shows no sign of backing down. will there be a breakthrough before russia claims crimea. we could hear from john kerry any moment now after that meeting. the pope, the poor and politics. speaker boehner vice presidents the pope to congress, but will his message clash with culture on capitol hill. and the search for malaysia flight 370 and a frightening moment here in the united states. just when you thought it couldn't get more misty guying, the search for clues just got a whole lot more difficult. here is why. by now at the least the search should be narrowing. and areas eliminated. but instead, it's expanding. again. the unprecedented search now shifting in a completely new

direction, west to the indian ocean. malaysian authorities who have been getting a lot of heat for lack of answers and conflicting information did it again this morning. they could not answer a whole range of questions about new reports, in particular if and when the plane's two communication systems were shut down and whether or not that would have been done deliberately. >> there are four or five possibilities which we are exploring. it could be done intentionally. it could be done under duress. it could be done under an explosion. >> tom costello joins me from washington, d.c.. i see the map behind you. all these new theories. what do we know this morning or at least where is the investigation focusing? >> i must say i think he made a good point. we don't know if the systems went down because somebody was under occur recent, we don't know if it was because the plane was being hijacked or if it was because of some the cataclysmic

mechanical failure.if it was be being hijacked or if it was because of some the cataclysmic mechanical failure. what we do know is that this plane did continue to send out a pinging message to the satellite four hours to five hours after it went off radar. and that means the plane would have continued to fly. and the zone here as you know, you just ran this a minute ago, is massive. because at least if it flew into the indian ocean, which is the last believed, and i underscore believed, the last believed direction of travel, it could have gone 2500 miles out into the indian ocean, right? if however it made a turn and went into another correctiodirel bets are off and we no krd. because of some really sophisticated math, they believe they can take a look at these pings that they were getting. these are like the computer system saying i'm here, i'm waiting for you, i'm here, just an idle kind of a blinking, if you will, not transmitting data. but as the plane made its arc,

where that plane was being hit by a satellite at any particular time, they believe they might be able to do some math and say, well, if the plane hit the satellite at this particular juncture, based on the arc of that curvature, maybe we can get a general sense of where the plane went and maybe it did fly out into the indian ocean. but i would say nothing is off the table. it is increasingly looking like somebody for some reason did turn this plane, it looks like somebody may have turned off the transponders and the entire electrical system or what communicates with the ground, or tried to any way, but -- >> is there any reason, tom, that someone would do that that isn't sinister? >> no, i don't think so. i think that would be a sinister motive. but i would not discount the theory that there was cataclysmic event in the area, that it made a u turn trying to

come back to lumpur and then in this theory potentially he would have been incapacitated and yet the plane kept flying. so there are a whole bunch of theories here and possibilities. and we are a week now since this plane disappeared with no sign of it whatsoever. and we're only going on conjecture or theories at this point. >> and we should remember there are all these families waiting for answers. and malaysia airlines released a new statement and here is part of it. malaysia airlines is fully aware of the ongoing media speculations and we have nothing further to add to the information we have already provided. our primary focus at this point in time is to care for the families and the passengers and the crew of mh 370. the heartbreak of not knowing. how much pressure is on this malaysian investigative team? >> i think it's extraordinary and candidly a lot of it is coming from the united states. because this is of course a u .

u.s.-built plane. all the electronics is from the united states. much of the hardware goes to u.s. based satellites. so the united states is very much involved to try to come to the conclusion of this. u.s. intelligence agencies are weighing in, ntsb trying to assist. and so they're feeling the heat from the united states and yet they don't have one tiny piece of wreckage that has come ashore. can we change graphics, guys? the other closer map of the south china sea. there was one other event today i wanted to tell you about. the chinese today said that they detected some sort of an underwater sea event 90 minutes after the plane went off of its last known location which was up there in the south china sea. they don't know if it's seismic or what it was, but they detected something 90 minutes later. so now we're back to square one. we're back to the original point of lost contact. and the chinese saying something

happened, there was some event in the water 90 minutes later. >> what are the other possibilities? is that an area of seismic activity? >> they say it's not. i candidly haven't talked to usgs on this. they say it's not and they don't know what that event would have been. >> tom costello, thank you as always. for more on the investigation, i want to bring in captain john cox. he spent 25 years as a captain for us airways and he's an expert on flight safety. good to see you. good morning. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> what do you make of all this latest information? >> i tend to agree a lot with tom costello in that what question know is we don't know a whole lot and that we need to be very careful and as difficult as it is to be patient and let the investigators do their job. based on my experience, i believe that we will find in the end this has several elements. it will have a human element. it will have potentially a mechanical element. an environmental element.

and perhaps a security element. so as we look at all of this, everything is still on the table. and the fact that we get ideas or we get speculations or we get thin bits of evidence and we act on that is appropriate for right now. there is a debris field out there and we will find it. i'm confident of that. we just haven't yet. >> the question is where is that debris field and we got confirmation of some of the latest information from the white house and i want to play jay carney for you. >> it's my understanding that based on some new information that is not necessarily conclusive, but new information, an additional search area may be opened in indian ocean and we are consulting with enter national partners about the appropriate assets to deploy.ene appropriate assets to deploy. >> so if you think the debris will be found, who you how do yt moving forward? the search area is get being larger, not smaller. how they start making it

smaller. >> eventually it's matter by exclusion. we've searched an area extensively, so reduce the number of assets or move those assets to other places. one of the things oddly enough that we have working in our favor is history tells us if the airplane is in the water, there will be debris that floats for a lengthy period of time. things such as seat cushions as an example. those will float for a lengthy period of time. that gives us time to find it and then utilize the expertise of the maritime world that can give us current information and let that lead us back to the wreckage. >> there are 57 ships, 48 aircraft, 13 countries involved in this massive effort. although when you consider the size of the area they're searching, suddenly that doesn't seem like so many. is this just going to be a matter of luck? >> i think it will be more than luck. i think we have some very, very

professional people and they're going about it in a very methodical way. one of the things that's important to realize here is how a very, very important and effective this international cooperation is. it's been strained in a couple places, i agree with that but overall, a whole bunch of assets are being utilized from a number of different countries and this is a strong commitment by everybody involved to find this airplane. and think we'll be successful with it in the end. >> let's hope you're right. and sooner rather than later. captain john cox, thank you for joining me. here in the u.s., philadelphia international airplane getting back to normal this morning after a terrifying landing for passengers on board a us airways fwlit. t plight. the plane was taking off when it blew a tire and it bounced and skidded nose down to a stop. 149 passengers had to use emergency slides to evacuate. although no one was seriously hurt. >> plane just came down all of a

sudden pretty hard. we bounced and we came down hard again. and we bounced again. >> everyone was yelling, freaking out. and we smelled smoke and every was like evacuate! we saw smoke on the side of the wings where the tire hit underneath. >> a few hours later, most of the passengers were put on another plane arriving in ft. lauderdale overnight. investigators still trying to figure out exactly what happened there. let's head to washington now where it seems like out of nowhere, a group of senators announced a deal to restore unemployment benefits. five democrats and five republican s cobble a deal together. republicans got what they wanted. the deal is paid for with a mix of customs fees and changes to federal pension programs. another add, millions and billionaires are no longer eligible for benefits. let me bring in josh barrow. so the guys who have been

pushing this deal, dean held her, jack reed, unemployment in their states 8.8%, 9.1%. and there are republican senators all a board, but there has been no vote. won't be for at least a week because congress is in recess until march 24th. but can we at least start with the positive that at least partisanship may not be dead? >> i guess if you set the bar really low. so we maybe will get it done by the end of march if the house decides to act on it which is not lear. this is an extension that will run through the end of may and then we will be back here trying to do it again. they are saying it has to not increase the deficit. so you find extension ever custom fee, but then you have to come up with a new set of pay fors if we another short term

extension. >> what about the prospects in the house? >> they don't look good. john boehner has put out no statement in regards to the senate plan, the new plan coming out of the senate. and previous plans, he said he wasn't satisfied with them, that he wasn't satisfied with the way they were being paid for. democrats are hoping that if this plan passes the senate, which it looks like it will, the margin is very thin, that that will then will put pressure on house republicans to put this plan on the floor and put it up for passage. but as we've seen with a lot of other measure, take immigration reform that passed the senate with overwhelming support, the house republicans have not the felt compelled to take up those measures. so it does not look very good in the house and as josh said, even if it does get through, it only takes us to may. >> very little looks good in the house. look at what happened yesterday for example. democrats tried to pass this resolution for condemning darrell issa for

cummings' mike last week. >> chairman issa's abusive behavior on march 5th is part of a continuing pattern in which he has routinely excluded members of the committee from investigative meetings, has turned off members' microphones when they were questioning a witness. >> and of course with republican majority it didn't pass, but there were tons of tweets last night and we saw the #restore civility. what is this all about? >> i think whenever you have a president of one party and congress in the other party, the oversight committee will be very politiciz politicized. just before we came on air, i was looking at a 2007 "washington post" article when democrats were running the committee and it's about how republicans were complaining that henry wax than was excluding them from committee processes, not giving them access to witnesses, springing things on them right before

hearings. so i think these fights are typical. there are a lot of ways in which congress has become more dysfunctional than the past, but i remember during the clinton administration, all sorts of crazy investigations. so i think this really is par for the course. >> and we should say issa did apologize. democrats clearly want more. but is there more to do and john boehner is standing behind issa. they're obviously not going to take away his chairmanship. >> yeah, they're not. as you said, issa called cummings after the whole incident at that hearing and apologized to him. and democrats last week, they ride to push a similar measure forward to force issa to come to the house floor and formally apologize. this is part of a long standing streak that democrats feel like issa has used his role as chairman of the house oversight committee to wage partisan fights. in 2012 withholding eric holder the attorney general in contempt over fast and furious.

but various styles to holding chairmanship. and as josh mentioned, there are chair men who behave this way and run their committee this way. >> good to see both you of. thank you. coming up, we'll talk to a freshman member of the house whose district sits on the border of mexico and who just isn't going for give up on immigration. and this comes as the president is renewing his focus on doing what he can with or without congress. also any moment we could hear from john kerry after 11th hour negotiations. the referendum is this sunday and time for a breakthrough is running short. way to get your fiber. try phillips fiber good gummies. they're delicious, and a good source of fiber to help support regularity. wife: mmmm husband: these are good! marge: the tasty side of fiber. from phillips.

a big meeting today on immigration at the white house. the president getting together with groups who say they he are, quote, committed to passing bipartisan common sense

immigration reform. this follows yesterday's meeting where he told three members of the congressional hispanic caucus that he's ordered review of deportations with the the number under obama approaching 2 million. at the same time, there is a new bipartisan bill on border security in the house introduced by our next guest, democratic congressman from texas whose district sits on the border of mexico. good morning. tell us the point of your bill and frankly what the chances are it gets passed. >> in the last ten years, border enforcement spending has gone from $7 billion to more $18 billion. in that same time, we've doubled the size of the border patrol from 10,000 to 20,000 agents there. and with this unprecedented focus of resources and spending and law enforcement on the border without a came ms. rit rise in training and

responsibility, you're starting to see violations of our constitution al protections and civil liberties. so our bill seeks to restore oversight capacity for congress, introduce greater transparency with customs and border protection and make sure that we're getting the greatest value for our tax dollars spent and protecting the interests of the 6 million u.s. citizens who live along the u.s./mexico border and the millions more who cross annually in those areas. >> and you make it sound like common sense, but you know what the concern is on the other side, that we're not doing enough for border security. and in fact the real concern here needs to be the security the of the united states and whether or not your bill will compromise that. >> i don't know that that's necessarily the case.not your b that. >> i don't know that that's necessarily the case. co-sponsor is steve pierce, a very conservative republican. the border security results act

simply says that we need to get to an operational level of control for the border without necessarily surging more resources, more border patrol agents and more enforcement technologies on the border. i think that's the right approach. and i think making sure that we have oversight to prevent abuses like those that we hear about far too often in el paso. recently a u.s. citizen woman would cross one of the international bridges in to el paso. she was detained, searched for drugs for more than six hours. strip searched. forced to perform bowel movements in front of customs and border protection officer, taken to a hospital and invasive catty searches performed and accepted a bill for $5,000. what many of our fellow u.s. citizens don't realize is that many of our constitutional protections including the fourth amendment protection against search and seizure are routinely violated or suspended on the border. and not just at our border check

points. cdp interprets the border to extend 100 miles beyond the actual land border with mexico or canada and that encompasses horn 2 more than 200 million citizens. so we need control and oversight. it's good for the taxpayer and good for the u.s. citizen in protecting his or her civil liberties. >> that is just one part obviously of the push now for immigration. and if i could just show you last year's deportation numbers. down from the previous rear, but high enough that the head of the national council recently called president obama deporter in chief. so what do you make of this new announcement on at least a review of deportation? >> i think it's a very belated but welcome step in the right direction. we're approaching 2 million deport deportees. horn 25% have u.s. citizen children. so we've created literally you thousands of u.s. citizen

orphans of migrants who we've deported back to their countries of or begin. it's not good for the children and the communities in which those families live. so i'm glad that the president is finally deciding to review this. i hope he prioritizes our resources accordingly and of course it's up to us in the house and in congress to roof for with reform. whether we do it in a piece meal fashion, whether we do it comprehensively, we do need to move forward. >> let me ask about that because it is it seem that we're moving more toward that republican preference, which is more of a piece by piece approach. and if that is the case, what are your priorities? >> well, let me give it you a country kell of examples. i worked on another by art is an bill with steve pierce united families united act which would reunite the family members of american citizens who are

deported and barred for reentry for technical immigration violations. a great example is a young girl whose older adult sister claimed citizenship for her falsely when she was crossing the border. for that technical violation, she has a lifetime ban on reentry into the united states even though she's married to a uts s u.s. citizen. our bill will give federal judges discretion to decide the cases on their merits and reunite these families. it's not the whole solution, but it is a step in the right direction. and if those are the cards that we're dealt in this republican-controlled house of representatives, then that's the hand we must play and i'm looking forward to moving forward in a step by step fashion if we must, but you we have to keep moving forward. and i think we have republicans like steve pierce, chairman like mike mccaul, who are karational and will move step by step in the right direction.

and one way or another, i think we can get there. >> and i notice you have on a green tie and if makes me think with a name like o'rourke, there might be some corn beef coming up. >> maybe a little bit. i know it's a little early, but i'd like to wish you you a happy st. patrick's day and to all your viewer respect especially those in el paso. >> and to you you, as well. quickly on another note. today's release of documents will include 4,000 previously unreleased documents including items related to the 2,000 presidential campaign and the recount. and coming up here, any moment we could hear about the meeting between john kerry and lavrov about ukraine. we'll have the latest with two former ambassadors. and pope frab sis gets an unprecedented invitation to address congress. is john boehner throwing a hail marry or could the pope be the answer to their political prayers? when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert.

he was hoping to resolve the differences between the two countries, but real list technically less than two days to go until the crimean i said espn vote in ukraine. it is pretty much a last ditch diplomatic effort.said espn vote in ukraine. it is pretty much a last ditch diplomatic effort. one person was killed in clashes between pro russian and pro ukrainian protesters. russia is also rash eitheritchee tension. and meantime 16,000 nato military personnel in norway took part in already planned land, air and sea military exercises 300 miles from the russian border. let me bring in two foreign policy veterans, former u.s. ambassador to ukraine william taylor and former ambassador in greece. gentlemen, good morning. as you know, john kerry has been meeting with the russian foreign minister lavrov.

what is the best case scenario you see? >> best case scenario is that the foreign minister has the approval from his boss, president you putin to back this down, to be able to put people back -- their troops back in their baraks, for kdeescalate - >> we just got this from andrea mitchell, zero chance that the vote will be 30postponed. does that surprise you you? >> does not surprise me a bit. >> zero chance. >> that is not surprise. >> and what is the impact of that ambassador burns? >> well, it's highly significant. putin took crimea because he could do it, because he had the

opportunity, because he knew there would be no countervailing military pressure from the west. he's not going to give it back. there is very little doubt about the outcome of the referendum. russians made make sure it's pro russian. and the big question will be whether putin then moves to formally annex crimea. and that would be to steal, take away sovereign ukrainian territory from ukraine and give crimea to russia. if that happens, then we're looking at fairly significant sanctions by the united states and europe against russia. >> what we actually heard from secretary kerry, he was testifying before senate appropriations yesterday, and he addressed the whole idea of sanctions if russia tries to an l next crimea. take a listen. >> we have a number of options to make it clear to putin the level of isolation that he might be asking for could be affected by that choice in very real ways. >> so as you see it, ambassador

taylor, what are the realistic options in terms of sanctions that could have an impact on putin? >> options have very realistic. europeans have agree that had we should put individual sanctions on. people around the president, president putin, who are taking these decisions to affect their ability to travel, ability their ability to access their financial assets that are in europe and the united states. then there is the next step which is broader sanctions that will really affect investors and investments in russia. >> and how do you do that, ambassador burns, and still answer the concerns of european allies, answer the concerns of american businesses who have significant interests in russia. >> well, there will be tradeoffs. but there is a fundamental principle at stake and that's the principle the united states has long thought is vital. do european countries have the right to decide who their friends are and which way they're oriented towards west our east.

a russians are fundamentally trying to deny the ukraine i can't beians that right. so i think they will argue for fairly significant sanctions. the problem is that some of the major west european countries like by germany are so tied to russi russian gas, they may be less in-climbed to go for t ed ted e tougher sanction. so that's where the diplomacy will go. it will be an intra western conversation. what can we do together to clive up the costs to putin. >> we're just getting some pictures from this meeting. there's some still photo there is in london. but to the point, ambassador bunbun burns, how critical is angela merkel? >> she's a central player.bun

burns, how critical is angela merkel? >> she's a central player.un burns, how critical is angela merkel? >> she's a central player.n burns, how critical is angela merkel? >> she's a central player. burns, how critical is angela merkel? >> she's a central player. she gave a speech yesterday which was quite strong in warning putin because of these mobilizations of russian's forces on ukraine's border not to go forward with incur gents into eastern ukraine. if putin went beyond crimea and sent troops in to other city, then i think we're being look at fairly substantial sanctions. >> let me ask you both quickly then a couple of other points that we touched on. am babassador burn, we mentione may toe forc nato forces conducting trainings. anything that particularly concerns you you? >> i think nato is doing what it should do. nato has not opposed militarily what putin has done. but inside nato territory, nato is building up air support for poll land in the baltic states with f-16s and f-15s.

and these long planned military xh exercises. putin needs to know the commitment is sangsacrosanct. >> and i agree. i think putin will regret rejuf 2345i9i naturing the nato am llliance. >> thamg you both for joining us today. checking the news feed, rescue crews continue to search through the rubble in new york city looking for three unaccounted for. and eighth victim's body was found late yesterday. worker respect are using sound devices and telescopic cameras in small areas looking for any signs of life. the south by southwest festival resumed in austin with a prayer vigil to remember those killed and injured when

commissioned by the center for auto safety. and it was reviewing federal crash data that found 303 drivers and front seat passengers died in accidents in which air bags did not inflate. it involves into models gm recalled last month. what is the center for auto safety? it's a consumer group that has accused gm and regulators of not acting aggressively enough in following up about complaints. however, apparently researchers did not assess whether those faltity switches played a part in the failure of the air bags and gm says the friedman analysis did not determine why air bags did not deploy. gm says in a statement it is pure speculation to attempt to draw any meaningful conclusion. so the bottom line is, yes, certainly the headline does sound really bad, but we do need more information on this to draw

conclusions. >> we have not heard the last of it. meantime a lot of buzz about am made zone's announcement they will raise the price of prime service, shipping service, from $79 to $99. >> amazon is hiking the price. students will pay $49 from $39. new members do have until march 20th to sign up price point, so hurry up and do that if you want to. but here is the thing. this is the very first time that amazon has increased the price of prime since it began all the way back in 2005. and i guess amazon is saying, well, you know, we position you'll pay the higher price becauses it's worth it. some people may even buy more stuff to make it worth it. others say i don't use amazon enough, i won't bother. however, this is something amazon has to do to cover the rising shipping costs.

they went up by 19%. so basically if has to do this for its bottom line. >> i've heard people talking about you how they figured out whether it's worth to them or not. just pay it and hope it works out. >> yeah, as i said, just order more stuff. >> that's what they're hoping. mandy drury doing a commercial for amazon. thanks. if you're looking for a place to celebrate st. patrick's day, we have a look at some of the biggest parades in the country. party starts tomorrow in scranton. they claim this is the largest in the country in terms of participants. chicago will dye the river green for their parade tomorrow. monday savannah, georgia holds it 190th. boston's dates back to 1901. this is the second largest in terms of spectators. and the biggest parade right here new york city, 250,000 marchers and a million people expected to watch. for more, head to

amazon prinl tme the wrong grap there. but is this a situation where they want pictures with the pope or could he have influence? >> i think he could have influence. he's obviously begun i think a serious process of changing how people see the catholic church, whether they're catholic or not. he's learhad an incredible impan changing the face of the church. he comes across in a way that is surprising especially to folks who are either critical or spectacle of the church. the serious scandals they have had to address in terms of child abuse issues and other things. but in terms of pot ticks, i thinki thinkity divine intervention could be useful. so i think if could be a possible.

>> so the question is useful to who. we have heard the president talk a lot about income inequality and helping the middle class. >> what everyone american wants is a paycheck that lets them support their families, experience a little bit of economic security, pass down hope and optimism to their kids. that's what we'll be fighting for. that's what i'll be fighting for as long as i'm president of the united states. >> and the hope has touched on all these same kind of things. income equality, and i'm sure that his message to congress will have something to do with taking care of the poor. stopping corporate greed. also probably about life. so is that something the republicans at least on the income equality side will want to hear? >> i hope so. but under this president, the gap between the haves and have nots has widened.

people who put him in office are actually making less money now under this president. so all too well he knows that these people are poor out there. they're losing money. sadly it'sen der this administration. however where the democrats do a good job and is this a great examp example, rick sap tontorum is a catholic, but 60% vote democratic because of the poor. catholics have an outstanding record of actually doing something to support the people who don't have money in our society, the people who are sick, who are weak. and cannot do and perform tafg g tasking to make money. that's why we need candidates to express the message of love and compassion for people. they need to focus on how legislation affects people and

what the government can do to help people get out of the situations they're in. >> and you have to wonder if the president won't reignite the conversation in a more substantial way. >> i think he will ignite it and he puts i think both parties in a difficult spot because i think he forces both parties for focus on what mes. but he puts republicans in a corner. it's not just rhetorical. it's nice to go out there and talk about the poor and your caring for the poor and those who are disadvantaged. but it is a reflection in your policies. and what hogan doesn't want to talk about and what republicans do talk about is their focus has not been on the poor, it has not been on the disadvantaged. i would argue it's not even been on the middle class. so when your policies unfortunately benefit a smaller and more advantaged group, if the pope and others come out and kind of point -- he won't do that but make is clear this is the reality of who is really being hurt, i think republicans

will have for so to speak have a come to jesus moment about their own policies and politics. >> chris, you're right. i'm happy to talk about that because we've done a horrible job at that. i'm the first to say so. but when you you put forth candidates who can have sympathy but not empathy, that's a completely different situation. and right now republicans have been proffering legislation that don't deal with the poor. for the most part -- >> you saw what happened to paul ryan. he put out a plan. he actually had a plan, you can agree with how 46-will the approach or not, you about then he used this phrase inner cities culture which some read as being racist. and it does seems looik sometimes the intentions are good but republicans complaint get out of their own rhetoric. 47% being another example. >> absolutely. and i'm the first to say

republicans do a horrible job at that. but we believe our policies help these people get out of the situations they're in, not keep them in it. and the problem is mf-actually the good thing is someone like mike huckabee understands the immediate for a safety net, something like obamacare for example instead of focusing on the people who didn't have insurance or have been kept the out because of pre-existing condition, the federal government focused on everybody which of course is too big. focus on where the problems are, help these people get out of the situations they're in. not keep them there. >> i'll have to stop you there but i'll have you both back because in a couple weeks the pope will meet with president obama on march 27 p, so we'll bring you back. this is not a pope who either minces words or isn't politically savvy. so should be really interesting. chris, hogan, come back and we will talk to you. >> thank you. sportier. annnd done. ok maxwell, just need to ah contact your insurance company with the vin number.
