i'm fredericka whitfield. just a few moments ago, past stan's foreign ministry says the missing malaysian airlines plane did not show up on its radars. france is now joining the investigation on the ground in malaysia. it is sending a team to kuala lumpur right now to review the evidence. and the top official in india said they temporarily ended their search for the plane while malaysia reveals the massive deployments from 25 countries. the search area now covers large areas of land including extremely remote regions. crews are looking along two corridors. one to the south and the other to the north reaching up to kazakhstan. satellite signals picked up on flight 370 for seven hours after the last contact with the pilot. but malaysian officials announced today it is possible the last satellite contact could have come from the plane on the ground. and the u.s. official tells cnn u.s. intelligence is leading toward the theory that the pilots are responsible. authorities are examining a flight simulator taken fro

>> fredericka, this is uncharted territory.'re going into some areas now, diplomacy between countries and all. we're also going into a problem that is inherent in that, we don't know crucial things about this. we don't know how long, what altitude, how steep, what speed, we don't know the heading that that airplane ended up on once it made its first turn. and we don't know how many turns it did make before it was over. we need to be going along several lines at one time. we need to be concentrating on, okay, is this salvageable, something from the airplane? is this a situation where it's the pilots who had some real responsibilities they didn't fulfill? was this a bona fide accident? is there something wrong with the 777? all these kinds of things we can't get to because we keep getting into something, when we find out later, we didn't have all the facts, we didn't have all the information. >> sorry, dr. bob arnot, not able to get back to you on this segment, but gentlemen, thank you. >>> and we'll keep you updated on the searc

>> well, the search of the land, fredericka.th as much sympathy as i can say, if they are in the water, they are gone. so concentrate on the land. and each area that has responsibility for that land. take their ministers or whoever their lead people are and let them exclude that part of their country or that part of the land. so that you get it down to where it might be just a small area that you can then search so that you're not sitting on a possibility of it being on the land and not doing something very immediate about it. >> and now today, in fact, the malaysian defense minister says they will concentrate more now on land searches. so i wonder, mary, now with day ten of this search, trying to get to the bottom of this missing aircraft, in a case like this, who typically pays for this? we are talking about resources dumped in from 25 nations to assist in this, whether it is at land or at sea, but it seems as though the bill is going up and the money might mean why certain countries kind of remove themselves from the investig

i'm fredericka whitfield. "reliable sources" begins right now. >>> good morning and welcome to washington. i'm brian sullivan. today on "reliable sources," why does bad news always seem to trump good news about obamacare? and speaking of good news on this sunday morning, some hopeful signs for the news business after years of suffering. we will get into that a little bit later. but let's begin with the story that is still baffling the whole world. that's the story of malaysia air flight 370. here are my questions this morning. what lessons have members of the media learned from these three weeks of coverage? and what have we learned about the media? cnn, as you know at home, is still concentrating very heavily on this story for both editorial reasons as well as business reasons. every day i get a spreadsheet with the ratings from the day before. it's circumstance lauted widely at cnn. and every day i wonder is there going to be a big drop-off in the rate sngz because that would mean a decline in the audience's

hello i'm randy k in today for fredericka whitfield. authorities say france gave them a third satellite image today. chinese and australian satellite objects were spotted. crews did find something yesterday though a wooden p palette with strapping belts. it is not clear where that is from. today malaysian authorities clarified where that came from. officials say the plane was still heading for beijing. that debunks the idea that the computer was reprogrammed to take a difference route. i want to go to evan perez. you have covered this angle from the beginning. what can you tell us about this latest development? >> reporter: the latest information released by authorities is changing our understanding of what may have happened and when. the last transmission at 1:07 am from the communication system showed quote normal routing and quote nothing unusual. this is peers to undercut the theory that the reprogramming before the pilot said quote good night". this reduces but does not rule out suspicions in the cockpit. it rules out the mystery o
