clock with new leads that could lead to the locate of the black box. the time is running out on the black box batteries. australian ships detected the signals that are consistent they say with pings that could be from the plane. flight 370 went missing a month ago with 239 people on board, of course. joining me now, tom costello from our washington bureau and michael goldfarb, tom, bring us up to date. there was probably an erroneous report from a chinese ship yesterday morning but these are australians using u.s. equipment. >> the australian ship is carrying a pinger locater and yesterday it came up what it thought was a possible hit over the course of two hours and 20 minutes, it picked up a ping. a really consistent ping and the

k kilohertz was at the same frequency you would expect. it did a u-turn, came back and for 13 minutes picked up another ping coming from the same general area, only this time there were two pings, suggesting they got both black boxes perhaps, perhaps the cockpit voice recorder, perhaps the flight data recorder. now the ship is trying to better triangulate exactly where it is in this area. now, part of the problem is our map just went bad on me. the bottom line is the new site is thought to be right around in here. and that would be quite a bit closer than this location down here. we're talking about maybe about 500 or so miles off the coast of australia compared to here when we're talking about 1,000 miles off the coast of australia. now the job is to try to triangulate where the ping is

coming from. this is the pinger, of course, on the black boxes, it is pinging about 30 days but the manufacturer has said they can go for 45 days and then if they can triangulate that signal, they'll send down an under water submersible vehicle, unmanned submarine to try to map the bottom of the ocean floor looking for anything that looks unusual. if they can find debris. if they can find wreckage, then begins the process of trying to identify where might the black boxes be and then they would try to bring in an unmanned under water vehicle that would literally try to pick up the black boxes and bring them to the surface. this is not a quick and easy job. this is going to take probably months. if in fact they have found the pingers and the black boxes, now they've got to try to hone in on them, identify specifically where they are on the ocean floor, bring in the necessary equipment, and this is going to be a very long process and it's going to cost a lot of money and

a lot of coordination. we're just now at the very beginning of perhaps finding the wreckage of flight 370. back to you. >> with that said, tom, thank you so much. michael goldfarb is here. first of all, do they only have this time before that acoustic signal will disappear and the submersible would have to make a visual contact, not the audio contact. >> people are excited about this, it's the first corroboration both of satellite tracking and amazing amount of engineering boeing did to spot it triangulated space. it's a hail mary in the sense if we luck out, it will be first time in history we've been able to go without debris and locate the so-called black boxes. if we miss this window and it is not the pingers, i'm afraid we're back not only to ground zero but facing many months or years of search to find anything in that ocean. >> i heard tom reporting earlier

today there's a certain depth to those robotics and submersible. if they get lucky and find something and do launch the robotic, it can only go to a certain depth but that's approximately the ocean depth. >> it would also come to the bottom of the ocean at that point, but we're facing a tragedy in this investigation, with all of the high technology that we have, that we ought not have been in this place. this whole accident will be a game changer for aviation going forward. >> in terms of the black boxes -- >> in terms of everything. in terms of the technology in the cockpit today that can't speak to the ground, gps technology. i think trail they'll be able to be tracked and black boxes will stream data in the future, portions of data, we'll never again be caught in this situation. we're desperate right now for any leads at all to help us

explain what happened, let alone why this happened. >> and tom costello, what do they actually have to have before they would launch one of those submersibles. >> they have to have -- literally triangulated from three different points in which they are able to dwget a better location of where the pinger may be on ocean floor. three different audio points on the ocean surface. with that data, hopefully they can launch the submersible. the pingers will give you a signal about a mile to two, to five, depending on the depth and ocean temperature and layers, the thermal layers inside the ocean, is that pinger sound bending, is it being distorted? all of that can really kind of play games with the ability to actually find the wreckage. so the job will be triangulate that as best they can and then drop the submersible down and try to map out the bottom of the ocean floor and then if they find something unusual,

hopefully they can hone in on the black boxes. >> tom costello, thanks so much on top of the story, michael goldfarb. a dramatic day in south africa, oscar pistorius testified in his own defense, choosing to speak off camera, i had that choice during nearly two hours of questioning from his lawyer. he began with an emotional apology to the family and friends of reeva steenkamp. >> there hasn't been a moment since, 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 and first people i pray for. i can't imagine the pain and the sorrow i've caused you and your family. and i was simply trying to protect reeva. i can promise that when she went

to bed that night she felt loved. >> nbc's mike taibbi is in pretoria. is there any way to calculate the reaction of the steenkamp family afterwards? >> reporter: well, it's hard to say exactly what they were thinking, you can make assumptions they were moved as many people were by the raw emotion pistorius displayed when he was apologizing in the beginning. then throughout his testimony he kept going back to the difficulties that he faced di dealing with what happened that night, what he called this tragic accident. he thought he was shooting an intruder and not reeva steenkamp through the locked bathroom door and talked about his disability and how it affected him all of his life. when he's not wearing his prosthetic legs, he finds it difficult to stand and keep his balance and all setting up what will be part of the evidence in chief about what happened that

night. that was more frightened than the average person would be. this gets to a question really about what a reasonable person would do, a reasonable person doctrine in the face of what is perceived to be a lethal threat. may not act the same way as someone who had to live with the disability as he has his entire life since he had the operation when he was several months old. he's also talked a little bit about more about his mental condition, emotional condition. he suffers nightmares and takes anti-depressants and afraid to sleep because he often wakes in terror, that he can smell the blood from that night and those moments of terror convince him he might not want him to go to back to sleep. he was so emotional the judge allowed the testimony to be cut short because he was clearly exhausted. it was cut off with a half hour to go to court. he returns to the stand tomorrow. >> you just referenced that emotional testimony. let's play a little bit of that

audio. >> i have terrible nightmares about things that happened that night where i wake up and smell -- can smell can smell the blood and i wake up to being terrified. if i hear a noise, i wake up, just in a complete state of terror. to the point that i would rather not sleep. >> and mike, to your point, this emotional testimony was so dramatic that the judge did cut it off. he will return to the stand then of course he'll be cross examined and reasonable questions from a prosecutor would be, if you were so afraid and so concerned about intruders and reeva steenkamp's safety, why didn't you turn in your bed to see whether she was safe before shooting wildly through

that door at what you thought was an intruder. there are a lot of questions that can still be asked. one of the things that was very interesting to me, is that it is not a jury trial, it is a judge. the judge has two assistants taking all of this in who can even overrule the judge. it is a very different process from what we're used to, mike. >> reporter: very much so. those two assistants, called assessors consult with the judge on a daily basis. when this is over, she has a long amount of time, several months in which to render a decision. we're told she might do it in a period of several weeks instead of several months. after that's done, let's assume for the sake of argument he's found guilty or some or all of the charges, an appeal would be filed and another application for bail would be made and by custom it's likely he will remain on bail. he's been on bail all along

since the bail hearing last year, until there's a final determination on the appeal. even if he's found guilty on intentional murder, he wouldn't see a jail cell for a long, long time, perhaps years. >> mike taibbi, thank you so much. we have sad news from hollywood, mickey rooney has died at the age of 93. he was 5'3" but larger than life on and off screen during the golden age of cinema. he was box office gold at a young age. his popular andy hardy series ran almost 20 years and often shared the screen with hollywood's biggest leading laid days from judy garland to elizabeth taylor in "national velvet". >> no, by knowing that i can win and telling him so. >> mickey rooney won golden globes and emmys and honorary

can a candidate run with a hopeful optimistic message hopefully with enough detail to give people a sense that it's not just idle words and not get thrown -- not get back into the vortex of the mud fight sfl can

you do it -- that means can one do it joyfully without tied to the convention of the politics and here and now. the other is, is it okay for my family? >> former florida governor jeb bush in a very candid conversation about 2016, also getting a lot of national attention for these comments on immigration. >> i'm going to say this and it will be on tape and so it be. the way i look at this, someone who comes to our country because they couldn't come legally, they come to our country because their family, a dad who loved their children was worried their children didn't have food on the table, and they -- wanted to make sure their family was intact and crossed the border to work to provide for their family, yes, they broke the law, but it's not a felony. it's kind of -- it's an act of love. it's an act of commitment to your family. >> joining me now, chris

cillizza, msnbc contributor and managing editor of postpolitics.com. jeb bush put it out there, exactly what a lot of us have been saying, he is thinking about family commitments in whether he runs or doesn't run and whether he can do it joyfully but he seems to be considering it. a lot of us have felt analyzing it that he is thinking about it more serious by since chris christie ran into bridge trouble. >> i think he's definitely in the last six months gotten more intrigued by the race and looking more closely at it. his advisers if you talk to them will insist he's not near a decision point yet and what he's doing is not necessarily political. he would be doing what he's doing anyway. i'm not sure i totally buy that. we saw jeb bush in the last few elections who was really not all that interested in running for anything. this is a very different look approach, even tone.

saying sort of the same things about talking about immigration and common core, broke with the party on common core and education standards. i think he's floating some policy balloons out there to inoculate himself a little bit about these things if he decides to run. >> chuck schumer was on with joe scar borough on "morning joe." >> jeb bush represents the more positive wing of the republican party on this and that's why he said what he did. >> chuck schumer endorsing jeb bush, at least for the republican primary. let's go to jeremy meters. >> would be a lot better than some of them. >> wow. >> maybe jeb can put that in his -- >> it will help him a lot. >> so what do you think? the immigration comments of course, this is consistent with who jeb bush has been from his

governor's days and post being the florida governor. >> i think, first of all, part of the problem for jeb bush if he does run is that people like chuck schumer don't feel particularly negative toward him. they sort of say, okay, you come from one side, i come from another. we can meet on common ground. he is not exactly a prime endorser in a republican presidential primary. that's the problem for jeb bush. most people agree jeb bush would be a strong general election candidate for republicans. his last name is bush and there are still some brand problems there but he has the right profile to turn governor of a swing state, owon a significant amount of hispanic votes. not too far to the left and not too far to the right. can he get through a republican primary? he might be able to. neither mitt romney nor john mccain or george w. bush were the most conservative person

running in the primaries but he p can he do to joyfully and not get in the mud. i don't know about the joyful mud, but getting down in the mud part, given his record and where he would stand on some of these issues like education and immigration, he would get a lot of mud thrown at him. >> well, just one quick parn thet cal comment, the wall street journal weekend headline was that as george w. bush was on the front page of the financial times, the new york times and number of other newspapers with his art exhibit, that the painter george w. bush was making it more likely or possible for brother jeb to become a candidate because they were recasting what people think -- >> certainly softening his brand and george w. bush in general, look at the numbers, this is true for every president, their numbers always get better.

ex-presidents are like exboyfriends and girlfriends, you remember the good stuff and forget the bad. >> sometimes. >> sometimes. >> and then joe biden tweeting about 2016. he dusted off his old twister handle from 2016 and had -- let's see what wrote. a big midterm election folks, let's go to it. >> i'm excited, biden plus twitter see squalequals good if blogger. he wants to run for president in 2016, i don't know if he would if hillary clinton didn't. he's doing everything he can to raise his profile and get himself within the democratic base and show value and get out there. this is all things he might do even if he wasn't running but you definitely would do if you're going checking off boxes, active social media presence and meeting with pollsters, stopping

iowa or new hampshire once in a while. he said as much and i think he wants to make sure everyone, social media activists and donors know it. indeed. >> as long as you know and i know it as well. thanks, chris. the duke and duchess of cambridge touched down, with prince george, making first trip overseas, so march he is passing his first official test as a royal with flying colors. after a long flight, any parent would be proud. later will and kate received a traditional welcome complete with a nose rub.

opponents of president karzai. despite some violence, the elections were largely successful as approximately 7 million votes were cast. the historic elections mark the first democratic transfer of power in the country's history. chief foreign correspondent, richard engel. long lines and a lot of participation by women, this was pretty historic. i've been reading the information from election monitors and they are impressed? >> reporter: they are impressed and we spoke to election monitors during the polling and poll centers that we went to were orderly. we didn't notice any irregularities and but nationwide there have only been about a thousand complaints so far and most of them were for technical things, voting stations not opening on time, not having enough ballots and not the reports of massive widespread fraud and manipulation that we saw here in

2009. a very different picture. there was some violence. there were over 100 attacks on voting stations but there were no complex attacks, no majorly successful attacks from the taliban's perspective and it was only about one fifth of the violence that we saw in the last election. >> as you reference, there were 146 attacks according to the latest account, four civilians killed and 16 afghan security forces killed and 89 militants killed so far. >> reporter: 89 militants, watch that number. because i don't think it was an entire coincidence that this election went off so smoothly. there has been quite a bit of offensive activity from both the afghan security forces and u.s. special operation forces, just today, the leading -- the shadow taliban governor in kuhn ar province was killed in a drone strike along with ten others,

the kind of operations that are typically carried out by special operation forces. there may have been some shaping going on in the days leading up to the vote and days after it as well to try and secure a more peaceful situation. the fact that 89 militants died on voting day didn't happen by accident. >> and are both of the front-runners likely to sign a bilateral defense agreement with the u.s.? >> reporter: abdullah told me he would absolutely sign it. there was no hesitation in his face. they don't want to have american troops on patrol, but they don't necessarily want to end up like iraq either. because when all of the troops left iraq, that meant all of the equipment also left iraq, all of the funding left iraq. now iraq has its own sources of funding, it has oil. this country is very dependent on outside sources of funding without the u.s. supporting the afghan security forces, they

would likely collapse. >> richard engel, thanks for all of your reporting on these historic elections in afghanistan. and it seems fitting now that we take a moment to remember the slain ap photographer niedringhaus killed friday. we reported on it friday, her long time friend, cathy gannon was wounded. she spent many years covering the iraq war and also an incredible sports photographer. she could do it all. take a look at this moment from wimbledon, serena williams winning a singles match in 2012. there's this photo, kite flying once banned by the taliban. afghan children delight in flying the kites all over the country where anja died. violence has broken out in eastern ukraine and pro russian gunman stormed government buildings proving that russia

and what the role in society was. people would come up to me, women would tell me their stories and they were all so wonderful. i was at the book store in austin once and a woman came up to me and said, i put footnotes in this book to say where i was when all of these things happened. so that my granddaughter and my niece, whoever it was, can see that and she'll know what it was that happened back then. so the beloved publisher redid the book so there's ample places to put their notes in about what happened to them and then to hand it down to young women in their lives. i'm really excited about it. >> what a tremendous idea. it's like giving a living diary to your daughters and your nieces -- >> i want you to do one for me. >> i would love it. all of my producers of different

generations. i wanted to show you something that happened just on sunday with michael hayden, the former nsa and cia director, speaking to chris wallace on fox news sunday about dianne feinstein and her report on cia, nsa surveillance. take a look. >> i read an article by david ignatius earlier this week -- >> columnist for the "washington post." >> right. he said senator feinstein wanted a report so scathing it would ensure a program of detention and interrogation would never again be consider the or permitted. that motivation for the report, chris, may show deep emotional feeling on the part of the senator, but i don't think it leads you to an objective report. >> was the senate intelligence chair too emotional in the way she wrote that report. she put out a statement saying her report is effective and i'm

thoroughly certain it will stand on its own merits and she'll be here to talk about all of that. what about the way men have a different opinion and lots of opinions on this issue, how men criticize women in power. >> i guess everything has not changed, you're right. it's not, but when john mccain talks about water boarding and the terrible moral consequences and practical consequence, that kind of thing, yes, that's foreign policy, clearly when dianne feinstein does it is emotional. when you plan a way to get something done so that once your report is done that will be the end of the discussion and action is going to take place. that sounds to me like strategy. >> we just witnessed mary barra testifying last week as the ahead of gm. you have to wonder what the directors of gm were thinking. they knew they had this legal problem brewing and chose a woman ceo and thought the optics at least preparing for her testimony were going to be very

different. there she gets challenged in the senate by claire mccaskill leading the way, former prosecutor, demolishing her testimony as well as barbara boxer and amy klobuchar and the women were leading the way on those committees. >> it's the end we don't have token women anymore in most parts of our society. which is a great thing. no longer judged as a gender by what one woman does, whether she screws up or does something terrific. there are all of these other women doing other stuff. i do not want to be a paranoid person saying gm would right now -- >> it has occurred, right? >> it has occurred. >> gloria steinhem, there's

karachi and get my education in medical. the freedom i got and slowly the realization not only just freedom, i was free from many other things like not only education, but free from many other things such as restrictions of different kinds, rules and regulations to other women and until i was 16 year old when i found out about a custom called honor killings, i had it in my mind that i really need to do something about it. >> tell me about the honor killings and how prevalent this still is in pakistan. >> u.n. reports there are 1,000 cases of honor killings every year, but that is -- the reported cases, that is the cases that actually go into the media. there are many, many cases that do not go into the media that not come up on the surface. a lot of people kill their daughters or kill their women in the house and don't even talk about that. and having seen and been part of a society like that, i think there's a lot more that we can

even declare. >> how does education help women resist this kind of societal norm? >> one of the biggest examples is myself and my mother. my mom was nine years old when she was married off. she had never been to school and never seen a school in her life. my father educated her and throughout her life when she had me when she was 14 years old, i believe i saw her growing up with me and when i was growing up. and i saw the change that came into her life. and from where she was in a small village given off to exchange marriages to who she has become, she was the one who wanted all of my other sisters and myself to go to school and declare that my daughters won't receive the same kind of treatment that other women receive. in fact, we would be the ones who would work for other women's rights. >> your organization basically translates to a strong and

confident woman. tell me about the name of the organization sughar and how this is empowering for women. >> i love this, it's a label used for women to praise them and it's a very real label. there are a lot of times when women receive bad labels like feminist has been a bad label in pakistan, ugsed in that way. there is this one word that actually declares that women have skills and confidence and that is sughar, it is spoken in many languages. and spelled s-u-g-h-a-r. they perceive theirselves differently. i felt if some women in pakistan are called sughar, why don't we call every woman around the world sughar because they have the potential and skills. they need opportunities to unleash that.

that is what sug har does. >> you embody all of that and more. thank you so much khalida brohi. >> it's a pleasure to be here. >> she is a trail blazer and i want to pay tribute to a moment to a trail blazing african-american journalist, chuck stone, he died at the age of 89. a tuskegee airmen during world war ii, he became a writer and editor and first president of the national association of black journalists. for anyone who lived in philadelphia, starting in the 1970s when the city was deeply divided along racial lines chuck used his column to fight against discrimination and importantly against police brutality. because of chuck's tireless work to hold the criminal justice system accountable. dozens of suspects turned themselves into chuck instead of police because they trusted him. he was also credited with helping to negotiate the release of six guards at the pennsylvania prison being held

hostage by inmates. after leaving philadelphia where he was one of my early mentors he taught his craft to the next generation of journalists at the university of north carolina. he leaves behind three children and generations of journalists in his debt.

which political story would make headlines in the next 24 hours, chris cillizza will be back with us. i think it's unemployment insurance, t insurance, that filibuster is done and then it has an uncertain future in the house. >> andrea, this is remarkable, as you said, it will pass the senate later today. this is the fourth vote on some sort of unemployment insurance extension. and i would say based on the reporting of my colleagues are doing in the house, i don't see

how this gets to a majority in the house or if john boehner even let's it come up for a vote. many moderate republicans, republicans representing states like rhode island and nevada, very high unemployment states are skeptical about this bill. i just wonder, yes it is passing the senate, the question is, can it go through the house and is there a next step? from people i talk to they have real questions, congress will be off two weeks over easter and not around in august or fall. is there a timetable by which the unemployment insurance extensions, reached if this is not the vehicle and i would say today as of right now it doesn't look like the vehicle in the house. >> and in fact, the unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed ran out on december 28th. this would be retroactive but they've not been getting the payments all of this time and it would extend it from december 28th to june 1st.

there still is more work to be done even if they do get this through the house. this is a big challenge. we only saw last friday that long-term unemployed are still stuck there as a major problem in the monthly jobs report. i want to also mention the lbj civil rights summit, we'll have extensive coverage all week of the john lewis as well, and the interview we did and talking also about whole future of civil rights, where are we today. >> first of all, fascinating time for this to happen. i can't wait to hear the john lewis interview. we are in the second term of the first african-american president ever elected, still grappling in an electorate that is as polarized as we've seen mitt romney won the white vote as large, matched the margin ronald reagan won by in 1984. you have a polarized electorate

with the first african-american in the white house. i think a great time to start talking, or continue talking about where we are as a country as it relates to these issues. >> wait until you hear what john lewis has to say evaluating this work of the obama white house. >> i'm interested already, good tease. >> by the way for those interested in the whole passage of the civil rights act, 50 years ago, i saw the brian cranston play all the way oefve the weekend and it is an amazingly emotional transformative drama to talk about what was happening in parallel terms in the civil rights community among the leaders and carmichael and what j edgar hoover was doing and lbj was doing in the senate and how conflicted he was. it was something that was transporting. that does it for us today. chris cillizza will talk about it all week. tomorrow, dianne feinstein as

part of our special coverage, ted olson and david boies, they'll talk about the next battlegrounds for legalizing gay marriage. "ronan farrow daily" is up next. i'm meteorologist bill karins, on this monday, continuing to watch another strong soaking storm in the southeast. this one will move up the east coast during the day with the threat of severe weather most likely in the southeast but even a few tornadoes possible throughout the day. that rain arrives up into new england as we go throughout tonight and linger tomorrow morning. ♪ i know a thing about an ira

in a clinical trial, pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate mesylate)... ...was proven superior to warfarin at reducing the risk of stroke. and unlike warfarin, with no regular blood tests or dietary restrictions. hey thanks for calling my doctor. sure. pradaxa is not for people with artificial heart valves. don't stop taking pradaxa without talking to your doctor. stopping increases your risk of stroke. ask your doctor if you need to stop pradaxa before surgery or a medical or dental procedure. pradaxa can cause serious, sometimes fatal, bleeding. don't take pradaxa if you have abnormal bleeding or have had a heart valve replaced. seek immediate medical care for unexpected signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. pradaxa may increase your bleeding risk if you're 75 or older, have a bleeding condition or stomach ulcer, take aspirin, nsaids, or blood thinners... ...or if you have kidney problems, especially if you take certain medicines. tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.
