a lot of the information coming out is coming out of canberra and we heard earlier the australian prime minister talking about credible new information. that's a big step politically to say that without having some degree of expectations that this is in fact a link to the missing airplane. no one is saying that, john, as we've all been reporting, least of all the australian government, but tony abot, just by briefing the house, the australian parliament, and the press conference we heard from john young, who's in charge of the australian maritime authority, that's leading the search, all say that, yes, there are these objects out there. it is evidence to suggest it's linked, but it's far too early to say. these are relatively indistinct objects. they're big, but at this stage, we won't know what they are, at least from satellite pictures, at least until commercial satellites have retuned on that area. they'll provide much more high resolution pictures than the pictures now being released from the australian satellite intelligence community, which has sparked this whole move in the first

we turn to john blaxland, senior fellow from the national university joining us live from canber canberra, australia. thanks for being with us. can you give us a sense of where they are in the search now? it's day two of these planes flying overhead, day two of that norwegian cruise ship being in that vicinity. and now, you know, it's five days after the satellites first took those images, so where do we stand today? >> well, you're absolutely right, it's five days after that image. so, the debris that was identified in those photographs is now quite at a different location. it's moved on. it's moved on to a different spot entirely, probably several hundred miles further to the east. and the problem is now, okay, there's been a request for additional imagery, but the imagery may not necessarily identify very much at all. the problem is that even though we've got good conditions at the moment, the photos that we saw from five days ago had an item that was just below the surface of the water. we don't know today if it's a meter or 3 feet further down or if it's still visible at all. so, it'

expectation that something would be announced, the defense minister was flying over from the capital canberra to western australia and he wasn't doing that to mumble platitudes. but there was no information. the information we did get was disappointing. listen to what the vice defense minister -- the vice marshal of the australian military had to say. >> to give you an analogy of what we've got out there, we're not searching for a needle in a hay stake, we're trying to find the haystack. that's just to put in the context. you're seeing a multinational effort going on. it's difficult in these weather conditions for us to be able to find small bits of debris that is washing around in the southern indian ocean at the moment. >> reporter: so they don't even know where the haystack is, even despite the fact that yesterday, less than 24 hours ago, there were two sightings from the air of two separate what could be debris fields, one by the chinese who saw two, what they are calling, relatively large objects surrounded by smaller white pieces of debris and not far away in the same target zone the ro

joining us on the phone, brendan nicholson in canberra, australia. we appreciate your time sir.t are your sources telling you about the search for had debris? >> what the people around the world should understand, a firm grasp is the scale of the task. this is like the marine equivalent of the world's biggest desert. it is just an absolutely enormous area. and what we're actually -- what's being searched for are some objects that appeared on satellite imagery, nearly a week ago. now it took an awful long time for people to go through the vast amount of data that was actually available and identify what they thought were a couple of floating objects. this has led the authorities in australia to believe that they're by no means certain, they're parts of the missing aircraft, that there's enough of a possibility to make it worth searching. now, a week ago, they were, as was described by our search people, they were awash. they were just on the surface, with waves breaking over them. it's possible they could have sunk. it's possible they may not have been wreckage. and as your previ

definition image that would be sitting in the search and rescue operations in the capital of australia, canberra. we think we have been more than likely been given an image that is has been diluted. they don't want to overpromise anything and behind the scenes we think this is extremely critical information, and it has been treated that way by the australian authorities. in terms of the disappointment. that extends to the crew on board the flights, searching the new zealand crew, squadron five, on board an orion aircraft. it's been searching for the flight for two weeks, joining the search in malaysia, and has been searching the warm waters off malaysia. now it's heading to the freezing indian ocean. >> thank you, steve marshall, for giving us an inside look at what is going on. we appreciate it. hope to talk to you again. >> most passengers on flight mh370 are chinese. their families have been meeting with malaysian officials - where the plane was headed. or correspondent joins us from the hotel where the relatives have been staying. what are you hearing now, margo? >> well, the meeting has bee

and joining us live tonight from canberra, is catalina flores, thank you for joining us.l us about the investigation 10:37 a.m. your time. what is going on. >> reporter: yes, sean, it is actually 1:32 in the afternoon and they're right in the middle of the search, they sent about five aircraft from australia, the u.s. and new zealand to the area around 2 and a half thousand kilometers across perth across the southern indian ocean. they're looking in an area around 23,000 kilometers. we're told the ocean there is very deep, rough, isolated. the problem is, sean, the images were captured by a u.s. satellite actually on sunday because of the very tedious process it was only discovered and made public yesterday. that means there is a high chance the debris has significantly moved from its original location. the search last night was unsuccessful because of poor weather conditions and today's search appears to be slowed again below cloud and rain. but we do understand a norwegian merchant ship has reached the search area and we're hoping for information on that. but we've also

support the activity that's are currently during at the australian maritime safety authority in canberra and the safety bureau who have great skills in investigating aircraft incidents and being able to work toward identifying the cause. it is a priority for to us try to recover the black box recorder of this aircraft as soon as possible. it is, of course, an australian invention, and our safety bureau has a particular skill in being able to interpret that data when it becomes available. so there are lots of challenges ahead. the key task now is to focus finding whatever we can so that hopefully, the location of this aircraft can be properly identified and we can then proceed to the next stage of the investigation. >> thanks. ladies and jerks today we'll have more than 100 people in the air over th. we'll have over 1,000 sailors in the area look fog debris. can i pause to pay tribute to the commanding officer, dave turn he who has been able to ramp up the provision of food and accommodation for more than 500 people in support of the air operation. this is a huge task for australia. it ha

he joins us now from canberra, australia this morning. break this down for me. talk to me about the satellites that took these images, when they were taken and why they set off the red flags that they set off. >> okay. this is a photograph from the 16th of march, so it's several days old now, but this is not an area of the world that we try to photograph all that frequently. i mean, let's not forget, there's nothing there except lots and lots of water. so, this is far away from anywhere. it's far away from australia, from africa. this is not a part of the world that is frequented very often. it's not even right on the track, the sea lines of communication that the major maritime trailing ships pass by. so, this is out of the way. this is something that had to be photogra photographed, and these photographs are taken around the world all the time, but you know, the level of granulation of the photographs is often not very good. so, what the analysts have done is they've taken this from the satellite, they've looked at the photographs -- and these are major, massi
