we'll talk about lewis coming up. now about 20 aircraft and ships are back out at this this morning on the 24th day of the search for flight 370. more than 100 crew members trying to spot debris from the skies while another 1,000 say alreadies are scanning the sea. it's unfolding in the indian ocean across a search area the size of po land. it is a race against the clock as crews work to find the plane's black box before the battery life runs out. >> the "ocean shield" has been equipped with a high-tech black box locater. he was earlier today prime minister spoke about if and when they would scale back the search for flight 370. >> if nothing of substance is found, obviously such a point is eventually reached, but we are well, well short of that point. so if this mystery is solved, we will solve it.

but i don't want to underestimate how difficult it is. >> back here at home it's been more than a week since the deadly mud slide in washington state. even though the death toll is continuing to rise. officials are holding out hope for good news. 21 people have been confirmed dead. search crews four other bodies have been located but not identified yet. the number of people missing has been lowered to 30. crews are expected to have dry weather the next three days. it should help the operation. governor jay said those searching for survivors refuse to give up. >> we are hoping for a miracle, and more importantly, we're working for a miracle. we're doing everything humanly possible, if that opportunity exists. these searchers, both professionals and volunteers are performing heerk leon tasks right now. they are working beyond the point of exhaustion. we intend to look for the

miracle. >> he promised a full investigation whether the state failed to address a 1999 report that warned of a disaster like this was possible. he said for now officials remain focussed on the work at the disaster site. today marks the deadline to enroll in health care coverage under the aca. the website saw record traffic over the weekend with some 2 million visitors and call centers fielding a sem surge of calls 380,000, to be exact. last week's activity, according to the administration, was more than the entire month of february. democrats took to social media to send out photographs of long lines at enrollment events like in in nevada. we don't know exactly how many actually paid for coverage, the most recent numbers put enrollment north of 6 million. that's a figure some republicans are questioning. >> how much does this 6 million number actually mean? >> i don't think it means anything. i think they are cooking the books.

people want to know the answer to that. we want to know once it is said and done, what kind of insurance will those people actually have? >> the u.s. and russia remain far apart on reaching a solution to the crisis in ukraine. the two sides are talking. secretary of state john kerry and the russian foreign minister spent four houses meeting face to face. they appear to have differing views. saying ukraine cannot survive by itself. secretary kerry said any agreement must respect that ukraine has a legitimate government and shouldn't be allowed to make the own discussions. he issued a stern warning about the russian troops that dissendsed on the border near ukraine. >> any real progress in ukraine must include a pull-back of the very large russian force that is currently massing along ukraine's borders. we believe that these forces are creating a climate of fear and

intimidation in ukraine. >> there was also a moving tribute to those who lost their lives during the anti-government protests. hundreds of classic call musicians performed at airports yesterday. back here at home. some of the country's most prominent republicans returning from the las vegas trip over the weekend. one man's name was on everybody's lips. >> we were talking about that. >> we owned a restaurant together. in ohio, we're no longer flyover sheldon. listen, sheldon, thank you for inviting me. >> first-name basis we're talking about casino monogoal sheldon adelson. they spent the weekend dubbed the sheldon primary. among them christie who ended up apologizing for refer together west bank as occupied territory while speaking at the republican jewish coalition. in the wake of the report clearing christie of wrong doing in the bridge scandal.

democrats investing him vowed to push on. the governor's surrogates were in full-court pr press on the sunday show. >> it is indication of the fact that the governor didn't know beforehand and didn't order it. >> we haven't seen a sled of evidence that the governor knew anything about this decision beforehand. we've had no incentive at our law firm to do anything other than to get to the truth. it reminds me of the movie life. they can't handle the truth. we believe we got truth. new york city struck a budget deal but at the political cost to the new mayor bill de blasio. the city's budget reveelting over the weekend it includes $300 million for free prek classes for kids. the democrat wins as he tries to reign in some of the charter schools and the power. one veteran lawmaker called it a learning experience for the rooky mayor as a result he lost a bunch of his ability to control public school space used

by charter programs. the new york times describing the mayor as being routinely outmaneuvered by andrew cuomo. it comes later today is the vote. let's focus on business. with the quarter draufing to an end. inest havers looking to position themselves for gains on friday. they positived in the up on friday. live in london is jeff. what can we expect as we close out q 1 today. >> the markets are looking relatively positive here. the expectations are you'll get some follow through to the u.s. open and hopefully that's what the bulls want. we'll see that positive close here. but it's worth bearing in mind for the courts are only the s&p is in positive territory right now of the three major industry. there's a lot to play for in the session as we close out this quarter end. let me move you on. you mentioned changing gears very appropriate. we have this gm story taking a

their own systems. samsung has turned around and said, you know, it came from google and the android operation. google had this before you did. so how appropriate is this infringement lawsuit? it's about samsung and apple, but ultimately google is also in the frame on this story. we'll have to wait and watch how this goes, but opening statements in court in california are expected today. back to you. >> jeff, thank you very much. as we all know. monday mornings can be tough. especially if you don't have confetti to use. sometimes you need the right song to get you moving. take a peek at the grandmother in a viral video she found the tune to get her motor going. we'll reveal the track later in the show. we want to know the songs that get you going. tweet us your most creative answers using hashtag "way too early." what is the loaf of bread have to do with anything? it's a good prop with the grandma. still ahead on "way too early."
