an australian navy ship, using a u.s. picked up sounds that are consistent with pings from the aircraft a black box about 1,100 mi. off the coast of perth, australia. the batteries in the black boxes run out after 30 days and the plane vanished march the eighth, searchers are in a race against time to locate the device. >> how much has it cost the different countries involved in the search for this malaysian airline. right now, the u.s. on bill along is over $3.3 million. while the cost of one australia ship is $550,000 per day another ship for 380,000 per day. japan has been 6 point-as $8.8 million. many government and military experts say it is difficult to come out with a full estimate for an ongoing search. >> coming up on the kron4 new is. homes are being destroyed in cars are stranded after severe flooding in alabama. the latest on the damage when we come back.

an australian navy aircraft picked up a signal in the same area a ship heard sounds consistent with theck boxes earlier this week. here is video of a map of the latest search efforts. the aircraft involved in the search dropped sound- locating buoys by parachute in a patterns near where the signals were last heard. an official who is leading the search said in a statement that the plane picked up a ""possible signal"" that may be from a man-made source as search crews appear closer to finding the malaysian airlines boeing 777 that disappeared over one month ago with 239 on board ve bn clitinlearor 6days at t m lergs, evy daof maln for ntinus rief. at t m lergs, 28ays conni spicis t spi at hlshiofife. th's w ourraften ason eve sauge perftly. so you c coaout grt flor . llshe rm beuse 's wth dog rit. ere'a reon o slo asted turk tas so esh. conds after carvg, we n onlsealverylice doue se it. e results are sothint. conds after carvg, hillire rm beace it wor doinrigh and ese ttlengels ild strength. anthat littlangesays, beaceeeeeeee!" doinrigh 60md thvaluyou love.in. ur iuran,becse wt yo][pro

signals picked up in recent days by the australian navy ship, ocean shield, are consistent with a blackeaking of china on a trade mission, abbott said the discovery was significant. >> we're now getting to the stage where the signal of what we are confident is the black box is starting to fade. and we are hoping to get as much information as we can before the signal finally expires. all i want to say at this point in time is that we have very much narrowed down the search area. we are very confident that the signals that we are detecting are from the black box on mh 370. >> reporter: the transmissions were heard three days ago. search teams have continued pain staking efforts to re-establish contact. how far, there are fears the batteries on the flight recorders could already be dead. the hunt for wreckage would then rely on a deep sea drone that would use sonar to map the floor thousands of meters beneath the surface. in malaysia, the police observed a moment of silence to remember the 239 passengers and crew on board the plane that vanished for man a month ago. in kuala lumpur, the of

an australian navy ship has picked up two more signals that could be from the plane's flight recorders. the signals were in the same area of the indian ocean as other pings detected on saturday. these signals were weaker and shorter. crews are racing to find the location before the batteries run out. let's head to joie chen to tell us what's happening on "america tonight." >> what maims new york, ne makek city new york? hear a young father's journey from 3 pa nepal to new manhath ? >> the big pond and become a small fish. i think that's something they are depressed, trying to get something better and it's not easy here. >> correspondent chris bury is going to take us on the next stop of the driven series. we'll see you then. joie, thank you. >>> a nine month old pakistani boy charged with murder. being fingertippe fingerprinted. the little boy is out on bail and his family is taken him into hiding. the case has brought ridicule against pakistan's justice system. from u.s. to mexico and back again, nearly 2 million have been deported under the obama administration. sim insissome insist

ocean shield, australian navy vessel and echo.hey are towing this flight locater or this locater as it's called under water. it can go as much as 9 or 10,000 feet under water, apparently in a bid to try to pick up these pings. but a slow process. and the ships will be sailing very slowly. only about 5-kilometers an hour. in order to, you know, cover a detailed area of the ocean bed. he they are covering about 240-kilometers, a tracking area of 240-kilometers today in the hope they might pick up something. but so far, there is no news whatsoever of any kind of success in this area. >> roger, thank you. >> thank you very much. greta. >> and the black box battery can and will die at any minute now. who do searchers know where to take the pinger locater to get the best shot at finding the black box. chris johnson joins us. nice to see you. >> thanks for having me back. >> i'm proud of the u.s. navy supporting them. 239 people missing certainly sends a message to the world that we care. but anyway. what's -- what are we doing? >> so ri

first time, the search for flight 370 went under the surface of the southern indian ocean as the australian navy ship "ocean shield" arrived with its american tpl-25, its towed pinger locater device. as we speak, that super-sensitive microphone is following a 150 mile straight line track at a depth of some 10,000 feet, strange straining to pick up this. [ clicking sound ] it is a faint set of pings hopefully coming from the flight's data and voice cockpit recorders. the british ship "echo" is trolling in the opposite direction and working its way right towards the "ocean shield." with zero physical traces of flight 370 located by the dozens and dozens of planes and ships that have been searching for weeks, the underwater assets are effectively a total shot in the dark. but darkness is something they can definitely handle. since they don't rely on eyeballs, the tpls, they can work around the clock. and if they do get a ping, an american auv or an autonomous underwater vehicle, is now on the scene, and it is standing by ready to go. it uses side scan s.o.n.a.r. to map the ocean floor. in the meant

and australian navy ship has picked up to signals that could be from the black box. , but maybe renderedseless as the batteries inside the beacons will likely die within a day. we have our national security analysts and former navy seals here. thank you for joining us. how serious is this? >> is supposed to last 30 it could last 35 or 40. they founded now they're focusing on is so this is the first news we have had that might be valid in 30 days. melissa: there is a sense we may have finally picked it up but it is running out of time. why do we not know how long it will last? >> there has been a lot of talk normally it is 30 days but we don't even know if they were stored properly to begin with so that time could have been shorter. there is so much mystery is like the hail mary pass at the football gave it is the luck of the draw. melissa: what have we learned? wateree doing differently or what should we? >> we may get to the point we don't know anything. to davy don't know much more we do know me don't have the international system to deal with this in a country can buy an airplane can

an australian navy ship should arrive in the area friday. on board u.s.technology designed to pick up pings from the jet's flight data recorders. >> the batteries powering the beacons that make the pings are expected to die in the next few days if not dead already frankly. once those are no longer able to transmit their signals, the search gets even harder. ex pe a review of the pilot's home simulator is being reviewed. listen what the prime minister says about the search. >> this is probably the most difficult search ever undertaken, most difficult search ever undertaken. even though we're constantly refining the search area, even though the search area is moving north. it is still an extraordinarily remote and inaccessible spot. a time subject to difficult sea conditions. >> let's bring in two familiar faces to cnn. good to have you with us. >> we've heard a disstingtinct in language used. it's sounding less hopeful and as if they're mitigating expectatio expectations. >> to me they're explaining frustration in well articulated words. i always said i th

boxes from missing malaysian flight 370 from signals that were detected over the weekend by an australian navylent. without those pings, investigators fear they could be years away from ever finding the plane, if they find it at all. cnn aviation correspondent rene marsh has more. >> reporter: it's the sound crews on board the "ocean shield" are desperately trying to find again. the australian defense department released audio of the possible black box signal the towed pinger detected twice over the weekend. despite a continuous effort to recapture it, still, nothing. >> as the hours pass, our optimism is fading away ever so slightly. >> reporter: if it is flight 370's black boxes, finding it again is the only way to pinpoint its location. the "ocean shield" moves about two miles per hour tracking back and forth around the clock. the towed pinger measures intensity, not position. so it's crucial to triangulate a smaller search area. >> it will be several more days now until we stop the pinger search we will not deploy the submersible. is that clear? we will not deploy it unless we find -- unle

at one point the australian navy and water police asked us to put more space between our boat and the ship's dock at the naval base. we watched and waited for more than ten hours. after dark the ocean shield finally pulled away with cnn showing the first moments of its journey to the search zone. and if one of the search planes or one of the search boats spots some debris, something that's connected to flight 370, this ship will be ready to help solve the mystery. as the ocean shield accelerates, our captain spots another boat flashing an s.o.s. call. >> and we had to give up following the ocean shield because it could be risk of life. >> reporter: the boat carrying another network's news crew blew its engine drifting into potential danger. we towed them to safety and dropped anchor for the night. after sunrise, we learned the ocean shield was sailing into very rough weather, just 12 miles from shore we were getting tossed around. believe it or not this would be considered a clear day. farther out our captain says waves can get so big they block almost everything from view. >> i feel

the australian navy vessel that has been towing that ping locator all this time. apparently according to mr. houston, it saw an oil slick in the general search area. a sample is being taken and then analysis will be done. here's what he said. >> the ocean shield detected an oil slick yesterday evening in her current search area. a sample of about two liters has been collected and it will be a number of days before it can be landed ashore and conclusively tested. i stress the source of the oil is yet to be determined but the oil slick is approximately 5,500 meters downwind and down sea from the vicinity of the detections picked up by the ping locator on the ocean shield. >> yeah. he is a man who deals in the facts only and does urge caution as we said. he is informing us this oil slick was seen. a sample has been taken. analysis will be done but say we don't know what that is. the other headline i suppose is that the air and surface search for floating debris will end in the next two or three days according to mr. houston. he said that the chances of any being foun

. >> reporter: deep beneath the indian ocean, an australian navy ship has again made what could be aakthrough. the ocean shield has heard two more acoustic noises in the same broad area where other stronger transmissions were recorded over the weekend. engineers say the earlier signals were consistent with those from an aircraft black box flight recorder. >> i'm now optimistic that we will -- we will find the aircraft, or what is left of the aircraft, in the not too distant future. >> reporter: earlier this week, recovery teams were scouring a stretch of ocean almost twice the size of great britain. the new target zone is about two-thirds smaller. the challenge now for investigators is to re-establish contact with those signals far off australia's west coast. if and when the location of those unknown pulses is sufficiently narrowed down, a deep sea drone will be deployed. only then will the underwater search for wreckage begin. australian authorities do warn, however, that more days of slow and pain staking work are still to come. 239 passengers and crew were onboard the flight from

back here, you know, we have to remember this is 1600 kilometers offshore, they had to get an australian navy vessel to go offshore until it was in helicopter range offshore. it was choppered back to the navy, offshore, then brought down here to perth. so now it is being analyzed. what they're trying to do is obviously see whether it could have come from mh-370, whether it is engine oil or as you said perhaps hydraulic fluid or some other component from an aircraft and not just something incidental to this. in fact, the malaysians have sent down samples of oil they use in their engines to see if it can be cross matched. so that is still going on today. hopefully we'll have some answer on that potential clue, john. >> okay, piece by piece, drip by drip, it is all coming together, i suppose. michael holmes, live in perth thank you. >>> and we'll have much more on information on flight 370, including frustration from the families of the missing passengers. >> absolutely no shame. >> many of them chose to storm out of the meeting on wednesday with malaysian officials. we'll have more coming up la
