>> reporter: good morning, christine. well, officials so far still confident they are looking in the right place for the missing plane. as far as we know, the fifth dive still under way, the fourth having concluded overnight. and during the fourth, they reached new depths, some 4.7 kilometers beneath the ocean surface, instead of the 4.5 originally thought to be at the very edges of the bluefin-21's depth capacity. engineers having analyzed the bluefin-21's hardware, now determining that it can go as much as 5 kilometers beneath the ocean surface, but it would need to be reprogrammed in order to do that. we did notice that during that fourth dive, they did manage to cover some 8 square miles as opposed to the 15 square miles originally thought to be covered in any given particular mission. no reason given by authorities here in australia for that, or it could be the fact that they are testing its limits. but as you mentioned, no objects of interest found as yet, as far as we know, in any of these dives. a couple days ago,

christine, john? >> miguel marquez.hank you, miguel. >>> we're going to move now to another major story developing this morning, the crisis in ukraine. and breaking news from russia, where president vladimir putin is now admitting there were russian soldiers on the ground in crimea before and after that region voted to leave ukraine and join russia, but he insists he has nothing to do with the latest conflict in the eastern part of ukraine. president obama, though, says that's a lie, that russia is supporting the militias there, battling ukrainian forces, and that russia will pay a price. >> what you've already seen is the russian economy weaker, capital fleeing out of russia. you know, mr. putin's decisions are not just bad for ukraine. over the long term, they're going to be bad for russia. >> phil black live in eastern ukraine for us this morning. phil, give us a sense of what you're seeing on the ground, because we're seeing confusing reports about ukrainian troops, pro-russian militias battling each other, in some

christine? [ inaudible ] >> reporter: there you have an example of one of the chinese representatives yelling at the anger we were seeing in the conference room with some of the relatives saying malaysian airlines simply, obviously doesn't care about our time or our lives. that's one side of this dramatic and difficult and upsetting story. again, it gives you a sense, christine, of how upset the people are and how, as time goes on, they demand answers and feel they are not getting them. many of these relatives are telling me, they think there is a cover up under way. malaysian officials say listen, we are trying the best we can. clearly, that information isn't good enough for the hundreds of chinese relatives desperate to know something about their loved ones. christine? >> ivan watson in beijing. very dramatic. >>> now, the situation in ukraine. growing more dangerous and closer to war. they are fighting back against prorussian militants in ukraine, retaking an airport and promising to do more

christine? >> let's remember, these crew members have lost colleagues, quite frankly, so they are both concerned in the job they're doing, but they are all still hurting during this whole process, too. nic robertson, thanks. >> speaking of hurting, the families, meanwhile, still waiting for answers a month after flight 370 disappeared. many gathered in beijing overnight for this somber vigil. pauline chiou has been with the families for weeks. pauline, what's the feeling today? >> reporter: well, john, very somber, as you say. none of these relatives ever expected to be in this position and none of these relatives ever expected to be waiting a month for answers. but as you noted with the pictures of the vigil, they did come together at midnight earlier today to come together and remember their loved ones and to actually go through just mentally and emotionally what their loved ones may have gone through on that flight path. and starting at 12:41, after they lit candles in this vigil, they actual

. >> i'm christine romans. nice to see you again today, victor. >> good to be here. >> it's tuesday, april 15th, 4:00 a.m. in the east. we begin with the latest in the search for malaysia airlines flight 370 and the news breaking overnight that an unmanned underwater vehicle, this bluefin-21, found nothing of interest during its first search of the floor of the indian ocean. that journey ended abruptly after just six hours, when the unmanned sub had to surface after going too deep. this morning, crews preparing again to put the vehicle back in the water for another 16-hour trip, they hope, scanning for wreckage from that jet, missing now 39 days. erin mclaughlin is live in perth with the latest on the search. erin, they reached the maximum depth this submersible could go. >> reporter: that's right, christine. it's also important to note that it had only been searching the ocean floor for about two hours in total. it takes it about two hours to get down and then two hours to get back up, so, two hours in total.

i was speaking with christine earlier off the set, there are some incredibly good assets which christine will brief you on in a second. but whether we can replace what we've got at the moment i think is highly unlikely. >> i want to get to that because at some point the various militaries involved they don't have the open-ended budgets like you said. and they are going to have to ramp things down. and some civilian assets are already being used as being reported to cnn. the ocean shield has a civilian crew on board and a famous hollywood director is lending his private jet to help out. but that's pretty significant. a private jet, what can civilians do differently that the military can't? what exactly would peter jackson be able to do with his private plane, christine? >> for example, the ocean shield, it does have a civilian crew of 30 on board. but that civilian crew is working under contract with the navy usually. and they are boat captains, they are technicians, they are there to launch -- the ocean shield is a platform, a diving operation platform from which they can watch. >> a big

christine? >> tell us about the difference in the signal strengths. is that casting any doubt on their findings? >> reporter: well, the signal that they detected is a total of 33.2 kilohertz, and they're expected to detect a signal of 37.5. houston addressing that at the press conference earlier today, saying that that doesn't necessarily diminish these results, given the conditions out on these vast, deep ocean waters, some 2.8 miles deep. sound can do funny things. and given the fact that the battery life is set to expire, all factors that could affect the signal. so, there's still hope, and they're saying this is at the moment their most promising lead. christine? >> erin for us in perth, thank you. >> as for malaysia airlines, officials not talking about what they think happened on board the jet, but that airline has implemented new security measures that has some flight crews upset. this coming as malaysia airlines' new 777s fly the route from kuala lumpur to beijing with new flight numbers

christine? >> no, you just cannot imagine. and these families, pauline, they're from all parts of china, they're from all over the country. are most relatives planning to stay in beijing indefinitely? it has been 26 days, and still, the clues are very, very scarce. >> reporter: yeah, and it's impressive, christine, when you see the number of relatives that have stayed. there are 350, 400 relatives that have stayed in beijing. and like you said, they come from all corners of china. i asked them that question and they said they can't leave until they have answers. one woman said, how could i go home and answer my child when he asks where his father is? i can't go home without an answer. another woman said, what am i going to tell my in-laws when they ask where -- >> all right, we've lost pauline chiou there, but she has been doing such good work from beijing, talking to the 350, 400 family members. and the other issue for these families is sort of a very culturally defined dignity, that there needs to be dignity in the facts and

christine romans sat down with her at fenger high and christine asks what her students need to graduate >> i think it's a variety of things. i think it's exposures to arts education. so often we talk about one segment but it's a myriad of things. art education is reading and writing, it's for our kids especially it's getting out of neighborhood and having exposure to different things. urban alliance one of our school partners have been phenomenal to connecting kids to corporate partners downtown, giving them internships. so i think it's a wide array of things that make a well-wounded child and make them be able to see within themselves a promise and pot to want something more. >> these things take money and creative use of money. part of the season -- the series from chicagoland has been sort of what you're going to do as this money runs out, this big grant runs out. tell me about the creative ways you use and get money and how money is always forefront on your mind when you're in public education. >> yeah. i think that michelle obama said when she came to chicago not too long ago that

. >> and i'm christine romans. it's wednesday, april 9th, 4x a.m. on the nose in the east. breaking news overnight. once again, the crews have heard signals, signals possibly from the plane's black boxes. two signals were detected. and the signals were weaker than before but it's being called a positive sign and likely the best chance to find flight 370 perhaps in a number of days. cnn's erin mclaughlin is live in perth. erin, after hearing yesterday, the signals had been lost, this was a huge development for investigators and rescuers overnight. >> reporter: that's right, christine. the bottom line is they are now more confident that they are looking in the right place than they have ever been before. angus houston is the chief coordinator behind this multinational search operation. he gave a press conference earlier today in which he talked about these new detections. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i can now tell you that "ocean shield" has been able to reacquire the signals on two more occasions. like yesterday afternoon, and like last her time. a detection team

christine? >> erin mclaughlin, a busy week for you this weekend in australia. thanks very much. >> moving on to the investigation of why flight 370 flew off course. this morning, malaysian officials poring over data after revealing to cnn that they believe the jet dropped altitude and disappeared from radar right after crossing over malaysia. our senior international correspondent, nic robertson, broke this story. he's been working it ever since. it has been causing quite a stir in kuala lumpur. nic, what's latest this morning? >> reporter: well, john, what they're saying is that it disappeared from military radar, and their assessment of all the data that they have available, they believe, therefore, that it descended to about 4,000 to 5,000 feet above sea level. this is way below the normal uprated minimum for aircraft in their normal flight, before reappearing almost right at the edge of the military radar capability in malaysia. their assessment based on this data is that whoever was piloting the aircraft at that time was trying to avoid this sort of busy c

>> reporter: good morning, christine.bt, in the mind of ukrainian authorities, either about who is responsible for the unrest here. we were given exclusive access to some of the evidence that the ukrainian government is presenting during those critical talks in geneva. we spoke with bitali neda with ukraine's counterintelligence services, who showed us the military i.d.s, russian military i.d.s of individuals he says they have in custody. one of these men, he says, was found with plastic wrap explosives in his possession along with detonators and a map that had the specific locations of various military administrative buildings marked out on it, telling us that they have dozens of military, russian military officers in their custody, and as he described them, their recruited agents. one of these individuals of particular interest, she was a young woman named maria, around 22 years old. the ukrainian authorities are accusing her of shooting people, at demonstrators, and they're being sent here specifically dispatched by ru

>> reporter: hi, christine. well, a spokesperson from the british ministry of defense tells me that the "hms echo," which is a british vessel, is currently on its way to join the australian vessel, the "ocean shield." she said that it's going there because the "ocean shield" currently has the most promising leads in this search. she also said that they have managed to discount those signals detected by the chinese vessel over the weekend. as for what it's going to be doing when it gets there, she said she wasn't sure, that the "ocean shield" at the moment taking the lead in this search. it's worth noting that the "hms echo" is equipped with highly technologically sound-detecting equipment. it's also equipped with technology that would enable it to map the ocean floor. now, officials here in australia are not commenting on this development, they're not saying if this perhaps signals a new stage in this search. as far as we know right now, the "ocean shield" equipped with that american-operated towed pinger locato

>> reporter: good morning, christine. a possibility, according to a tweet from the acting transportation minister of malaysia this morning, saying it is possible that they could put more submarines in the water, more submarines, of course, meaning that they could cover potentially more area in a shorter period of time. overnight during that fourth dive, the bluefin-21 reaching new depths, some 4.7 kilometers beneath the water instead of the original thought depth capacity of 4.5, and that's significant, because it had to cut its first trip, first journey into the water short because it reached waters too deep. now it's been reprogrammed and able to travel a greater distance. it means it could reach some of those areas that officials believe is most likely place that they could find, potentially find the black box. but again, this morning, bluefin-21 coming up empty. we understand it's currently engaged in a fifth dive now. just a couple of days ago, the australian prime minister, tony abbott, was quoted as saying that it

imf's christine lagarde has a rosy outlook for the global economy. have we turned the corner on a recession? the most important meal of the day is getting pricier. look at all that bacon. attack of the 1990's tv stars, like after the sitcom. we kick it off with what everybody is talking about, stephen colbert taking over "the late show" when letterman retires. >> this is a five-year deal between colbert and cbs. no specifics on when he takes over for letterman. letterman's final shows will be in 2015. >> since its debut in 2005, "the colbert report" has been a huge success for comedy central. he will show that to be himself. -- shelve that to be himself. letterman is very excited about this replacement. according to les moonves, letterman told him "i cannot think of anybody else." seems like everyone is showing colbert love. >> stephen colbert is up for the challenge. we wish dave the best, but there is no greater joy than seeing a genuinely good man who works as hard as he can, every day, and deserves all the success in the world. for stephen we are

whatever its influence , lagarde says it, i began my discussion by asking christine lagarde to explain what's at stake if congress doesn't do that. >> well, first of all the imf are brings together 188 members. they are all represented around a table of 24 chairs. so some chairs have one member. like the united states for instance. like china for instance. and a few others. and other chairs are more bulky with about you know 20, 30 constituencies. but they are all at the table. the imf is an institution like very few other institutions around the world, that is based on a weighted vote. so the bigger the economy, and we can discuss forever about how you measure the economy but to put it simply, the bigger the economy, the bigger the voice. but the founding fathers again in their wisdom knew that that would evolve over time. so there is a mechanism that actually decides that on a reassess. there is also a mechanism that provides that on a regular basis we have to reassess the resources that the imf has available. back in 2010 just in the midst of the crisis, the members at the time, the

>> reporter: christine, it's difficult to assess. of time exploring vast western russia, it's vast and remote, but little visible sign of a military presence. nato says there's more than 40,000 soldiers ready to move across the border. they have satellite images they say backs that up, showing a wide range of capabilities and air fire from special forces, infantry, artillery and tanks. we visited a couple of the sites that nato has featured, and we've seen military, but not on the scale or the capabilities that nato claims these photographs show. but we couldn't see everything. just because we didn't see it doesn't mean they're not there. that said, these photos that nato has now released, the ones at these particular sites already more than two weeks old. so, it's still not entirely clear. russia says that what's going on here on the ground are just military exercises. some of the troops have already gone home. nato says it's an invading force. even if that isn't true, nato will tell you that extra forces this close to the border, n

john, christine? >> nic, it was confusing for several weeks because the indonesians weren't releasing any radar data. they didn't say they had any sign at all of flight 370 flying over their air space. this at a minimum, i suppose, if it's to be believed, would indicate why the indonesians did not pick them up on radar. >> reporter: it certainly would, and the indonesians have said that. they said, no, there was no indication that it had flown across their territory. we now know from this source, to the malaysians' satisfaction, to the investigation's satisfaction, they have been able to now feel comfortable with that information. they knew where the aircraft was flying, approximately. they knew that from the inmarsat data. there were various speeds from that inmarsat data, that it could have been flying, indicating that it might have clipped the tip of indonesia, might have avoided it a little bit, but this lack of radar information from indonesia allows them to now more precisely say, okay, this air

police will stay they are unknown suspects, but christin ayers says the damage is pretty obvious. >> reporter: antioch police telling us more than two dozen people reported their windows being broken early this morning. this spree just the latest in an area where crime is on the rise. >> the wife woke me up at 1:32 this morning and heard a noise. >> reporter: when steven went to check it out, he saw the windows of his antioch home smashed in. the vandals used rocks from his own lawn and his house was not the only one hit. antioch police say vandals hit 25 homes in the black diamond estates and the diamond ridge neighborhoods. >> my wife and i were home and we just heard the crash and came out, but they were gone. >> reporter: the same thing has happened to oscar menindez twice. he has had to board up his front window with plywood. >> bad elements in town. >> reporter: it is something we heard over and over. at this week's city council meeting, crime is up 3% in antioch this year. property crimes have climbed 3%. mayor wade harper's response? >> i'm hearing from people, they are think

>> reporter: hey, christine. yeah, you know, the weather conditions both here, close to the western australian coast, and also at the search area, about 1,000 miles from where we are, are described as fair today. and the weather is very important, whether we're talking about an underwater search or an above-the-water search, the weather conditions have a big effect because of the technology that's being used. the side-scan sonar that's looking for debris, if you have too many waves, then obviously, that's going to affect the ability to detect what's floating on the surface of the water. also, if you have too many waves and you have white caps and what not, then a visual search from the air or ship is very difficult because the white caps can be mistaken for objects floating in the water. the actual weather conditions, if you look here, we're told that this is probably a bit nicer, a bit more clear than what you're seeing in the search zone, but the key factor is, again, the waves. you can't see them. this is mark

i'm christine romans. >> good to see you this morning. i'm john berman. 31 minutes past the hour. and it was called the best chance of finding missing malaysia airlines flight 370, but overnight, word came from australia, there have been no new sounds heard under water that could possibly be from the plane's black boxes. it was just yesterday that officials said they were optimistic. they picked up those two noises. u.s. equipment did, on a ship called the "ocean shield." they were hoping these sounds might point them to the jet, but we're now 32 days -- it's been 32 days after that plane went missing, and it does appear that time might be running out. crews today are narrowing their search with more than a dozen planes, 14 ships scouring an area of roughly the size of south carolina, but still no new pings heard. erin mclaughlin live in perth with the latest. good morning, erin. >> reporter: good morning, john. that's right, they have so far not been able to find any debris associated with this missing plane, nor have they been able to reacquire those audio signals, but there has
