that. that shows the low morale in the department and the conflicts between the nypd rank and file and city leaders, especially in the mayor's office. so that is developing now. that seems to be a new area of concern. now, there is one solution across the board that many people see as a positive sign. that would be the police body cameras that some departments have already started using. many people believe that will help to rebuild the trust between police officers and the communities they work to serve and protect. aaron? richard jordan on the hill for us. thank you, richard. crews found debris in the water in their search for the missing airirasia plane. it disappeared from radar saturday night on a flight from indosingapore. kristin wright is at the live desk. >> good morning, angie. the search for this plane has been pretty grim thus far. and these new developments not good either. search planes yes, detected
