i think we're going to ask sarah james later to talk about how far it is from perth and how long it takes to get there. this is not a quick, easy trip into the ocean. maybe she can better explain the currents and what we know about the sea state out there. if it has been 12 days since this plane crashed and if in fact it did crash in this area, then potentially this debris may have already been shifting and moving and be roughed up for 12 days and potentially floating and drifting hundreds of miles. kristen, back to you. >> tom, i'm going to ask you to stand by and pick up with sarah james on that point you raise. we should say there is a three second delay. to the point tom just made, the conditions are incredibly rough out there and this is a far distance from the shore of perth. what is this search going to look like when it resumes again tomorrow, 3:00 p.m. our time by the way? >> it will resume in about six hours and what it's going to look like is, it's difficult. everybody in the australian military has said this is tough. this is a tough one. but we're up to the task. basically wh

thank you, sarah james, we appreciate your being there for us. we're looking navy ships and sea hawk helicopters and subtracking vehicles from australia. but what's interesting actually is that the most important information may come from a tiny camera in space. we are going to look at the aerospace component of this search and in the end, it could be that that makes or breaks the difference in that. so for an in depth look and perspective from somebody who actually has dealt with aerospace technology in the flesh, more than most ever did, we're going to turn to live on pt phone commander chris hadfield, retired astronaut and former space station commander. >> i'm here and it's my pleasure to join you. >> you had a five-month long view from space, few on earth ever get that. you're adept at looking at the waters from a long distance as satellite images are. i want your gut, when you see these images, what do you think? do they look like debris that stands out and worth investigating to you? >> ronan, the immensity of the sea is hard to express. e

>> sarah james environmental review officer. yes, we do have that confirmation since the mitigations come from the biological opinion that was provided to us. by fish and wildlife. >> well, so, do you have a letter? do you have an opinion that states that? >> the opinion is the biological opinion, it's a 70-page report with a great amount of detail that spells out, as i said, over 40 measures that were we're required to implement in order to offset both the operation of the golf course ~ and for the specific project. >> let me he ask the city attorney this. is there any possibility ~ that notwithstanding what they're talking about that this federal agency could find us in violation with respect to the mitigations that the department is taking? >> the project itself, aspects of the project as proposed and the mitigation measures that have been imposed with conditions of approval are required by the biological opinion and there is a specific time frame set forth in the biological opinion for meeting these requirements. so, it's po

nbc's sarah james joins me live from melbourne, australia. t's the latest you're hearing on the search? >> the latest is that in just a couple of hours, the planes are going to head out from this air base, the royal australian air force base, pearce, just north of perth. they're going to head out 1,500 miles offshore southwest of perth looking for any sign of the debris that was spotted by the satellite. and what's really important to understand here is just how vast the indian ocean is. so how hard it's going to be to find anything. particularly when the weather conditions are so treacherous. and we're talking about high seas and rain and cloud cover. it is not easy. and the area is absolutely vast. it takes about four hours flying time offshore just to get to the location. then they have enough fuel to search for two hours. and then they have to fly back. nevertheless, as difficult as it is, they are very much committed to doing this. and they have some pretty sophisticated planes with which to do this. not only the o ryans, but a poseidon.

james and sarah sees a set of rights. you mention other countries just one more question on the points are to mark off. we've been seeing slogans of top stars go home in eighteen twenty weeks we've seen pictures of that up at the top stars are from crimea what what what do you think about the protection of minorities going forth in crimea. re issue but it's a limited clear evidence as is the school hall. it's still in my kitchen says he laments is about. that's it. canadian snow. can anyone say never will write him letters to sort out the show vendors. in the top. so it's a testament to this trip is to do that as a one off today to set it in the end of the porcelain god and thus see it as a sign that us interest is in good seasons in the process it moves into it. they live this was the most wanted criminals and anti islamism was a dual area. ross. susan is in their minority rights will be respected and cut you off because we're getting from and dispatch from the russian news agency. r i a saying that to russian president
