right there means everything to me, man. >>> katie ellis has not seen or spoken to her husband, chad white three months. both have been serving time in the hillsborough county jail. but chad recently had a court date and expected to be released on probation. >> i don't know if he's been released. i put him down for visitation. because he told me to put him down for 2:00 today. i'm so excited. >> i know. i'm so excited, too. >> i know i'll be so crushed if he doesn't come. i'll probably cry if he doesn't show up. just because i don't know what happened. you know? >> waiting for you right now. i'm nervous for you. i'm excited. >> the visit is even more important than katie knows. chad plans on breaking some life-altering news. >> i want to tell her face to face that i came up positive for hepatitis "b" and "c" and she needs to go to the clinic in jail. >> both chad and katie know that any number of factors could prevent their visit from happening today. >> it could mean he's not released yet or couldn't make it here. i mean, he doesn't have a car, so i mean, if he doesn't show up it's probab

chad, thank you. >>> the white house is release something new obamacare enrollment numbers. here's what we always look at with these numbers just to sort of compare apples to apples. how many new enrollees, people whoa did not have insurance before, how many are them are young, crucial for paying for this, and how many are paying? ted -- ed henry has been crunching the numbers. >> we have the young numbers and the overall numbers,, but the headline here is the administration continues to make progress. there's some good news mixed with bad news, which is they're still far below their original goals on overall enrollment and among young people. let's start with overall. right now, secretary kathleen sebelius is revealing that 4.2 million people have now enroll in the health insurance marketplace. what does that mean? that means 2.8 million more signups short of reaching the 0, goal of seven million to make this work. that means in the month of march, the clock is ticking, they've got to get 2.8 million more people overall to sign up. they've never done anything close to that

chad hugh the institute of technology to white flecks in front of packed lunches. i'm just wide three i'm feeling right of the way back then. i really like these. don't miss it so hard. while she's eating it must be lunch time. it is early for lunch. don't you think. right before the winds ahead o

that's going to make huge white caps and huge problems. >> chad, let's talk about the depth of the ocean here. when they were searching in the gulf of thailand early on, you're talking about 296 feet deep. it's a whole other story here. >> absolutely. almost two miles. if we're looking for the pinger, the pinger pings about two to four miles. if you're going to ping, you need to be almost right on top of that ping to be able to hear it, because you're already two miles away because you're 10,000 feet from it. here we go, 14,000 feet to the north, 11,000 feet here and i can do one thing right now, i will take you under the water and show you what this looks like graphically. we'll fly you right down here and see the surface. fairly flat. there there's some undulation here. we'll turn you around and show you that this is a fairly flat area, even though it's 10,000 feet. and it's not inaccessible. 10,000 feet for a diver, obviously you can't do it. but there are many submersibles that can go down this low. >> that's what was used for air france back in 2009 to bring up those black boxes at

and that will cause the same kind of weather, the white caps like we had yesterday. absolutely ugly. >> chadin the search area how deep is it exactly? and the terrain of the sea bed, what's it like there? you also talked about waves. do you have any idea how big the waves are on the surface? >> >> the waves yesterday were 10 to 20. today 5 to 10. that's a swell. if you're not familiar with an ocean, an ocean swell especially at 10,000 feet deep es more like this. it goes up and down and you bob in the water. it's not a 10-foot wave that would hit the shore and literally knock you down. it's not steep like that. it's a shallow wave up and down. so that actually helps in the discovery of things on the ocean's surface if you're on a ship. because sometimes that high peak will allow you to see something that you wouldn't see higher on the ship looking for it. this is the day to find what's out there. >> incredibly deep, though, 10 to 12,000 feet. a little less than 13,000 feet air france flight was found in. chad, thank you. as a cautionary note before bringing back the panel, there have been de

chad, appreciate that update. thanks. brianna keilar has a 360 bulletin. >>> according to the white house russian president vladimir putinpresident obama today and the two agreed their diplomats should meet soon to discuss a possible solution to the crisis in ukraine. the white house says that's only possible if russia pulls back troops gathered on the border with ukraine. u.s. officials estimate 40,000 russian troops are on the border with another 45,000 either already in crimea or poised to go in if needed. and an alidged ms-13 gang member was nabbed by the fbi just one day after he was put on its most wanted list. juan elias garcia is accused of killing a new york mother and her toddler four years ago. he surrendered at the u.s. embassy in nicaragua. >>> attorney general eric holder says the federal government will recognize same-sex marriages performed in michigan last saturday before an appeals court put the unions on hold. holder's actions allowed those couples to be eligible for federal benefits. >>> anderson, i am wondering if you know this weekend marks the 50th anniversary of "jeopardy." >> i do know that. >> b

chad kept right on shooting. >> told the detectives, i think that might have been a white flag. ld to give up. >> narrator: here's the thing. if the young men fired at chad first, which the defense went to a lot of trouble to prove, then maybe chad's reaction was reasonable. but did they fire a gun? did they even have one? remember those three nonchad shell casings found on the road that the defense made such a big fuss about? couldn't have been from the young men, said the prosecutor. and how did he know? simple law of speed versus gravity. >> you're telling me, these kids are fleeing at 50 miles per hour, you're telling me that they fired three shots, the casings are a foot and a half apart. at 50 miles an hour? that's outrageous. that's crazy. >> narrator: but remember, the defense forensic expert was clear, there was gunshot residue in the young men's car and on some of their hands, proving they must have fired a gun. must have. to which david hollister replied, nonsense. that defense expert must not have been privy to all of the evidence. >> the gunshot residue really wasn't

chad myers is tracking conditions in the search for missing flight 370. >> john and poppy, what a difference 24 hours makes in the weather across parts of australia. we had ugly weather yesterday, i mean, white caps everywhere. think about looking for a white plane with white caps everywhere. didn't happen. now, for today, now finally ending, it's getting dark down there pretty soon, things have been perfect. high sun, lots of sun, clear skies, calming seas and very, very few white caps. so, that has really helped tremendously. yesterday, honestly, there wasn't even a chance of finding anything out there, the weather was so bad. now it has certainly changed. high pressure in control of the area for just one more day. need to really get some debris going here, find some of this stuff, because there's another storm on the way. not really for rain. in the next 48 hours, the rain is well to the west of the area that they found those things here. now, the debris here -- there's the debris. and look at this red zone here. this is 48 hours. this really comes in, so for them, almost on sunday. this is a major windstorm. i mean, we're going to have 40 to 50-mile-per-hour winds. again, back to the whi

chad myers. will the weather cooperate with the search crews? >> one good day and that's tomorrow. sunday is shot. tomorrow is 20, 30 mile-per-hour winds and whitewhere. tomorrow is still flat. flattish. as flat as it gets down there. 10 to 20-foot swells but at least there's not a lot of white caps. white caps, looking for a white plane, you just can't see anything. this is sunday. the 60-mile-per-hour wind just south of the debris about 20 to 30 right over the several area, this is not going to be helpful at all. it gets better for tuesday and wednesday but we have a couple of bad days, sunday into monday. i know you talked about the roaring 40s a couple minutes ago. we're lucky this is not the roaring 50s. that's 60 mile-per-hour winds over the weekend and they last the entire weekend into next week as well. we are just 10 degrees north of where the real ferocious weather is getting into the fall season here, what we would consider september. the storms are going to get farther and farther to the north for them. >> chad myers, fingers crossed for tomorrow. that's it for "the lead." i'll turn you over to wolf blitzer in "the situation room." m

white mountains, a small coin, that's the level of difficulty. >> wow. every time we talk about, you know, what might be the next phase it sounds more difficult than the current phase we're in. chad, to you, are you as seemingly convinced as much of the u.s. intelligence community is that this does not have aspects that would lead you to believe terrorism was involved, that it was either equipment failure or a deliberate act by someone in the cockpit? >> actually, no. i think if you look at it on balance, the community is split and the scenario still does have probability of having a terrorist beginning but an accident ending, i.e., something like we saw on united 93 where you start off as a terrorist plot, there's just too many pieces of evidence that point towards intentional event, i.e., the diversion of the airplane precisely at the sea between air traffic control in vietnam and malaysia, the transponders being disabled and the acars system. if you look at the flight path, it actually not only cuts exactly at that moment but precisely along the border between thailand and malaysia itself. the two paths analyzed now, one at 4 knot path, one 50, the 4-knot is preferred but it t

chad, thank you. i know. i feel you loud and clear. thank you. we're going to come back to this. first, let's pause and go to the white house.g pretty incredible that's happening here. because we're about to see president obama wririghting the wrongs of many years ago with these veterans. >> the strength and will which these men possessed, with courage, with humility that we may follow their path. that our spirit, eternal god, that we may never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to become a model of what we advocate. as we pray and ask in your holy name, amen. >> amen. >> good afternoon, everybody. please be seated. welcome to the white house. the presentation of our nation's highest military decoration, the medal of honor, is always a special occasion. but today, it is truly historic. this is the single largest group of service members to be awarded the medal of honor since the second world war. and with several of these soldiers recognized for their valor during that war, this ceremony is 70 years in the making. as one family member has said, this is long overdue. many of these families -- and

chad myers yesterday was talking about a bubble bath. i love that phrase. when you're looking at it from 450 miles up in space, white can often look like an object. it's hard to conclusively say this could be debris from an aircraft. >> the general user at home that uses technology and google, this is where we're getting a little frustrated. i can see a pool toy floating in that pool, the color of a vehicle. this is google map technology, yet we look at the technology for satellite, there's a massive discrepancy there. >> this is taken from an airplane. this is taken from a satellite. satellites are not a allowed to get down to this kind of quality. we call it resolution. this is taken from an airplane flying at a much lower altitude. satellites will play an important part because they can cover a large area. the airplanes need to get that closer visual inspection. >> we've talked about it in the breaking news just now. it was one of australia's airplanes. that shows their capability to see with much better clarity. >> from what i understand, it's more importantly the signals they're detecting on the plane. so there
