david johnston telling the "associated press" that it could be as much as two weeks, that they want to be very thorough in their search efforts. but if you look at it, they were finished with about 80% of the search area yesterday, finished with 90% today, so they managed to cover about 10% of that more narrowed search area in just a matter of a day, so seems like they're on track to finish in the next few days, but still awaiting confirmation. >> and this is the area of greatest depth in this search, erin? >> reporter: well, that's what some analysts have been saying, but so far, authorities not exactly clear on why it could take them longer, potentially, to search the last remaining portion of that more narrowed search area, which, again, is the most likely place, they say based on the information they have, that they're going to find that black box. so, the defense minister quoted yesterday as saying they want to treat it very carefully. it's very important that they either rule in or rule out that particular search area. john? >> erin mclaughlin live in perth, australia, where the

remember, angus houston is ahead of the search effort, this is his boss, david johnston, the ministerfense of australia, has made this visit to the piers air force base, which is outside of perth, where we're located now. he's going to be talking to the search crews that are here on the base, he's going to be getting a briefing himself from the commanders of the base, and then he's going to answer questions from the media, so he may have some insight, extra information, some extra detail, on the specifics of this hunt for the missing malaysian airliner. that's the reason he's come here. i've spoked to his press atta e attache, any new announcements will be going through the joint agency coordination center, nevertheless, he's the minister of defense, we're going to stay across it. >> thank you very much, matthew. that could potentially be very significant. >>> at this hour, search crews are trying to reconfirm signals picked up over the weekend, whether they are pings sent back by the missing plane's black box. as we've reported, though, right now from the u.s. navy, they are saying t

johnston also the book's editor and pulitzer prize-winning writer.rd about this book through a serialized essay in the boston review which was titled inequality kills which gripped me. i mean, once you read that, once you see that headline, you have to read all the way through. does inequality lead to a shorter life for some of us? >> yes. it's very clear that in countries where we have less inequality, life spans are improo i improving at a much better rate than the united states. the university of washington today, i attended a lecture about this very point by the author of that chapter. inequality kills in youth, every day in america, 47 babies die who would be alive if we had the infant mortality of sweden and norway. and by the way, if we had the infant mortality of cuba, 15 babies a day would not die in the united states. that's how bad inequality is in this country. >> that is unbelievable. and david, there's a really compelling essay in here, too, called "wage theft" and it's about wage theft for those who aren't clear is essentially exactly

it was an opportunity for david johnston, the australian defense minister, to go and thank the air crews and to pose in front of a couple of orions, which arguably would be better served searching for wreckage. the most important thing that came out of it is they have not been able to reacquire the signal that has been detected at the weekend. and unless and until they reacquire that signal, they will not be launching the submersible. the area down there to search is simply too large and would take too long without getting a better lock, a more precise lock on where it's coming from. but he did said they would continue the search. they would continue trying to reacquire the signal, as long as they thought there was a chance of the black box still transmitting. and, of course, houston pointed out that although the box saying 30 days, it could last longer and their experience is that in the past, they have lasted some what longer than just the 30 days. but he also cautioned, of course, that funny things happen down in the ocean, that all sorts of sounds are there, but they will and they ar
