it was headed from kuala lumpur to beijing. a new report showed that the cap captain and crew showed no odd behavior before the flight took off. cnn is covering the story all around the globe today with our correspondent whose have been following it from the very start. joining me now is anna coren in kuala lumpur and our reporter from beijing. what does the report show? >> reporter: we are getting information about those first hours, days that the confusion, if you like in this search for mh 370. it is pretty much consistent with what we already knew, but we getting sort of blow-by-blow minute by minute as to how this all unfolded. you make reference to that new bit of information about the pilot and the crew on board mh 370, saying that there were no behavioral changes. they've looked at sensitive footage of the crew and captain on three previous trips and found that there was nothing different in their behavior. they certainly didn't seem seem stressed. there were no financial or personal issues that could have led to the ca

anna coren, thank you for the reporting live in kuala lumpur. we'll keep tabs with you. >>> a bomb exploded outside a bank in egypt's nile delta region. it killed at least one person. 11 others were wounded in the blast that happened near mahla al kubra. no word on who might be responsible in that explosion. >>> in the united states the justice department said it found rampant racism in ferguson missouri's criminal justice system. the report also says there is no forensic evidence that michael brown had his hands up and was surrendering when he was killed. two officers from that police department resigned this week over racist e-mails uncovered in that investigation. a top court clerk was also fired because of the e-mails. one of the e-mails portrayed president barack obama as a chimpanzee. the e-mails were forwarded around the police department. and there are calls for the police department to be disbanded and the chief to quit. >> reporter: if the d.o.j. notes, those e-mails are coming from your city manager and your police chief back and fort

anna is in kuala lumpur with more on this. the report is striking in its di tail and simultaneous lack of any new leads into this aviation mystery. what exactly do we know today? >> yeah look you touch on that battery that had expired in the flight data recorder. that seems to be the glaring error that has come out of this report. however, experts are saying you know it doesn't necessarily suggest that that hindered the search. the reason i say that is because the battery was still operating in the other black box, the cockpit voice recorder. it certainly suggests there was a failure in the maintenance of this particular equipment. the report also gives us a blow-by-blow idea as to what was happening in the air traffic control tower and the confusion that was taking place. obviously, once the plane went missing, no one knew really what was going on. you can understand the level of confusion, but there are emergency protocols to follow and it would appear they weren't followed hence the delay in finally getting that search and

somewhat between coaching men in vietnam and kuala lumpur. many hours going by with seemingly nobody having any urgency that this was now turning into a crisis. and the underwater locator, batteries had actually expired. now, we don't know what the effect might have been in terms could they have lasted the full 30 days, but clearly we have been told previously they were good. now we know they are not. the picture we are getting of what happened on the night certainly contributed to the fact that now, we have no idea where the plane has ended up. >> you can imagine, a lot of the families of flight 370 say the decision by the malaysian government to release this report on the one-year anniversary, they believe, is insensitive. they actually gathered this morning for a vigil in kuala lumpur where the flight took off. anna koren is live from there. there has been some reaction from the families there, right? >> reporter: absolutely. they know the interim report has come out this afternoon here in kuala lumpur and meaning feeling it's meaningless

anna koran in kuala lumpur joins us live. almost adds insult to injury the fact that one of the batteries had already expired. the airline saying they have checked all the planes now to make sure they all have batteries in them. if anything, this report doesn't comfort families, but show real incompetence on the part of the national carrier. >> i think as far as the battery incident goes, yes. it shows incompetence. incompetence as far as the maintenance goes as far as that particular aircraft. it's important to point out that the battery expired only in the flight data recorder that in the cockpit voice recorder it was still operational which meant that it would have been sending a signal for the 30 days after the alleged crash. but certainly, as i say, it highlights an oversight by the maintenance crews and perhaps a failure in their system to update or allow the airline to

david mckenzie is in beijing for us and anna is in kuala lumpur. richard, you've been looking at this report. what does it tell us that we didn't already know before? it tells us everything and it tells us nothing. it sort of clears mysteries up. for instance the question about the pilot's health. it makes it quite clear that the captain was neither anxious, nor depressed, nor was his home life collapsing and that he didn't seem to be under stress and was handling life well. same for the first officer. it tells us the plane was maintained properly the oxygen supply was working correctly. and it tells us substantially that everything that we've already known about it is now confirmed. we've got great detail about how this flight progressed. what we don't have is anything -- and i mean anything -- about what happened or where the plane is. but isa, if you want to know where the real scandal in the report is this is it. these are blow by blow air traffic control logs from the night. more than 120 pages -- beg your pardon. more than 250 pages of logs.

"bumiputera," or "malays first," is at the heart of this policy. itlaces controls on education and employment and extends across the entire range of social relations. after the race riots in the '60s, the government decided that they had to break that identification. they had to bring malays into the city, into the growing manufacturing into the future of the country and build one malaysia that way, that if they just left them as the poor farmers out in the countryside it was going to be nothing but trouble. and so their policies made malay the national language. they saved the university positions for the malays; they made the schools in malay; they put all the... the banking was for malay. companies had to be malay, and then

. >> speaking for mind which] -- [speaking foreign language] >> it began with a take off from kuala lumpur in the early hours of the moment. and then a change that is so i'd that a year later no one can explain. it is what turns this run-of-the-mill flight into one of the great mysteries of our time. an onboard locating system stopped working. was it switched off deliberately? there was a mayday. a series of unexplained turns might suggest someone was at the controls. experienced pilots have had a year to mull it over. for captain simon hardy this strange looking maneuver around the island of an yang hints at a delivered action by the captain. >> there were three turns, not one. left, a wide turn, left again. someone was taking a long, emotional look at penang. the captain was from the island of penang. >> but stephen landau says no one explanation offers all of the questions. could there be a fire aboard? then the pilots would have to leave the cockpit. but if that were the case, how could the plane remain flying so long? it's very, very unlikely. this is where the search is ended up. a b

ago this weekend that the malaysian airlines flight mh-370 disappeared soon after takeoff from kuala lumpurle onboard. its fate remains one of the world's great aviation mysteries. the underwater search goes on. it's focused on a remote area of the southern indian ocean and from there john donnison sent this report. >> reporter: teammates. this is the international team leading arguably the most difficult search operation in history. it's the last time the crew will see land for seven weeks. and where they're heading is about as bleak and remote as you can get. this is one of four ships that has been hunting for mh-370 for almost a year. just to arrive at the search area, it takes six days. they're focusing on a priority zone of 60,000 square kilometers. but the underwater search equipment can only operate at walking pace. so imagine walking around an area 40 times the size of london and then imagine doing that in waters up to 5 kilometers deep. >> it's a very small target in a very large area. although a plane looks large when you see it on the ground when you look at the size of the area

it was just a week before philip and 238 others boarded malaysia flight 370 from kuala lumpur to beijing. a flight that was initially reported as overdue. at that point i'm just imagining here that you're thinking this is going to be bad news and we're going to get confirmation pretty soon. >> something, yeah. yeah. or either messed up, turned around, lost track of it. >> reporter: the plane didn't crash somewhere along it's planned route. instead it appeared it was flown into oblivion. that was the last message from mh370, 41 minutes into the flight, the mystery began. >> but now i'm going to turn to the left. >> reporter: in a 777 simulator we duplicated the sharp left turn that came next sending mh370 on a mystifying journey, ultimately towards the indian ocean. is there anything that would make this plane make that kind of turn absent a human either pushing buttons on this computer or dialing in the autopilot? >> no. no. >> reporter: adding to the intrigue, the plane's transponder and other communications systems were disabled. >> it's really what's been described as the hook turn. t

first, a lot of these families of flight 370 are gathering this morning for a vigil at kuala lumpur where that doomed flight took off. cnn's anna coren is live there. i know they were given access to this report before the public was. what is their reaction to it? >> reporter: yeah, christi, from the families we are speaks to, some of them are saying it is meaningless. it does not say where their loved ones are or what happened to those on board mh-370. so a great deal of frustration at a time when they are grieving. others are angry about the timing of this report saying it's very insensitive, inappropriate to be releasing it on this particular day. but it's an independent report by a body of seven international organizations, air accident organization investigations from all around the world. as far as these families are concerned, christi, it really sheds no light whatsoever as to where their families are. and at the end of the day, that's what they need to know. those desperate answers. one of those people being danika wicks whose husband paul was aboard mh-370. take a listen to what

it takes off from kuala lumpur. 239 people on board. 2:40 a.m., it's cruising, losing radar contact.s for the search, it's cost close to $100 million. so far, only about 40% of the ocean floor they intended to cover has been completed. it's unclear how long the search will continue. >> we owe it to the families of the dead. we owe it to the traveling public to do whatever we reasonably can. >> reporter: many of the families don't believe that their loved ones died for sure. ? in january, the malaysian government declared the passengers dead. they say they need absolute proof before they believe it. and tom, i should let you know, at the demonstration today in beijing, the police were there just to keep everyone under their control. >> bob you -- thank you. >>> in south korea, an update on the ambassador slashed in the face. mark lippert, in the red hat, his left hand clearly bandaged. mere while meanwhile, flowers and a sign to wish him a speedy recovery. >>> and all five suspects in custody in the death of opposition leader boris still a mystery exactly who ordered the hit. his supp
