25 countries are now involved in the search for that plane up from 14 just yesterday. >> and our peter doocy d.c. peter, they also have new information about the pilots, you say. >> yes, there's a lot of new focus on the pilots in the cockpit of flight 370. but we now know those pilots did not ask to fly together. that's what malaysia flight officials are saying, and that detail adds a big working detail to the figure of somebody with a triple 777 design being responsible for whatever happened to flight 370. because that theory had authorities looking at both pilots, but now their boss says these pilots did not request to fly together. that obviously does not rule them out, but it is a piece of the puzzle we had not seen before. one of the pilots does have a fancy flight simulator in his house, but so far authorities have not revealed what he was using it to practice for and the pilot's pals are suggesting now that he just really likes to fly. and for others on board, we heard this morning that background checks for some passengers still have not come back yet. this morning we are also told

i must say, if peter doocy is on the case, we're going to get to the bottom of this. >> peter doocy ister doocy was on vacation and still broke a big story? >> it's true. >> remarkable. >> and last night he won at but that's completely unrelatessed. before go you go, you said mike mccall, the guy from intel is going to be on your program on sunday. also you got a former managing director of the ntsb. so it sounds like you're going to be all over this missing plane. >> we're also going to be talking on our watch on sunday morning, crimea, will be holding that referendum. there you see mike mccall and peter gold. they'll be holding that referendum in crimea on whether to split off from ukraine and become part of russia. you'll see a real stiff set of sanctions. we'll talk to the chairman, bob menendez, and the top republican, bob corker. so a lot of things happening on our watch and who knows? peter doocy could be breaking more stories. >> absolutely. >> he may be saying, look, forget the suntan. i've got to break another story on fox. >> i'm going to crimea. >> exactly. i hope he doesn'

peter doocy joins us now live from washington. ter, there are actually gaps in the radar coverage, right? >> reporter: yeah, there are big dead zones in the coverage, heather. and that's because the new satellite-based systems are very expensive. so companies and countries rely on radar and a big reason that this search has been so difficult can really be explained by one of the most simple lessons from grade school, the world is round and the curvature of the earth makes it very hard for radar to pick up anything that is not visible on a straight line. >> radar works, it's for the most part air traffic radar and other kinds of radars that are trying to find airplanes are mostly line of sight. there are some over the horizon radars but they're very low frequency and not used that often but normal radars, if you get behind terrain, it is very difficult. submarines use those thermal layers to hide themselves. >> reporter: most ground radar systems have a range of roughly 250 miles. that is about the distance from d.c. to new york cit

peter doocy with the numbers. peter. >> reporter: you're right.sident pushes young people toward the exchanges with 11 days left on open enrollment by playing up the price of premiums. >> you can at this point get health insurance for $100 a month or less. in some cases less than your cell phone bill or cable bill. >> well, the average cost $249 before subsidies kick in every single month. that's more than double the average monthly cell phone bill. but president obama says if price becomes a problem for people without insurance, maybe they should just get rid of their cell phones and their cable boxes all together. >> i guess what i would say is if you looked at that person's budget and you looked at their cable bill, their telephone -- cell phone bill, other things they are spending on, it may turn out they haven't prioritized health care. >> that's right. so we think of cable tv and cell phones as such an important integral part of our lives. president obama says not as important as health insurance. >> certainly not cable television. we have t

peter doocy with the latest now. peter. >> jenna, there are huge dead zones in that area uncovered by radar. it's possible. this plane is missing in a part of the world where there isn't much going on. >> in this part of the world, especially indian ocean, radar coverage is spotty. not a lot to be looked at on a regular basis, not a lot of radar installations there. >> tides are still shifting the possible crash zone hourly and radar systems around the certainly area can only pick up stuff in a straight line. but the earth curves. the further it is away from the radar, the easier it is to fly under the radar. although an expert from the "wall street journal" said that would be tough. here is why. you'd have to fly below 100 meters and the 777 is not designed to fly that low. you would exceed the aircraft's stress levels. furthermore, most have a range of 100 or 200 miles. the technology is several decades old but upgrades cost a lot of money. brf we are going to transition from radar-based to satellite-based. there's

peter doocy is live with the very latest. what is this last meeting about? >> reporter: tucker, as you said, the secretary of state staying overseas to get more facetime with president putin's number one diplomat, the foreign minister, sergey smzlavrov. the two decided it would be best for their representatives to sit down, as you remember, when russia began posturing for a move into crimea shortly after the winter olympics in sochi, president obama got president putin on the phone for 90 minutes, phone calls do seem to be the most common way for the american and russian presidents to communicate right now because the two leaders have not seen each other in a while. as russia was not included in the most recent g8 meeting. now, as for secretary kerry, he was about halfway home from a trip throughout europe and saudi arabia with president obama, but the two of them had two different planes. so kerry was able to change course without too much trouble. so far diplomacy has failed to stop russia's aggressive behavior in ukraine, but the hope is that today's meet

peter doocy live in washington where the world leaders are concerned about -- what are the world leadersncerned about today? >> reporter: they are there for a nuclear summit but all the talk is about the ukraine. this morning, president obama we saw him speak standing next to the dutch prime minister and he didn't announce anything new with regard to what to do about russia's aggression in ukraine, but he did say that at this meeting with theç leaders of the g-7 where putin was not invited, they are going to talk about the way forward. president obama stressed again, as he has and as all administration officials have been doing, the importance of sanctions against top russian officials. he says those sanctions are going to have a huge impact on russia's economy. he talked about that, also in the context in a way of how sanctions brought iran to the table. so he did mention that. what was very revealing though earlier, just a little while before president obama spoke, he gave an interview to a dutch newspaper and he said that the united states does not think thatç europe is -- needs to

all right, peter doocy, thanks so much for us.r military analyst, colonel oliver north. nice to have you on the show this morning and get your perspective on this. colonel, right now it seems like we have the crimea president saying, come in, we want you here. you've got a lot of support there in that region for russia. and of course with, you have th ukrainian president saying, get out. what do we do? >> let's back up just a second here. last week, in fact, last sunday i said that putin was going to act as soon as the sochi olympics were over. and even before the torch went out, he sent an intelligence collection ship to havana harbor and put more intelligence technicians into the lord's signal intelligence site, which has been there since the 1960s. obama is now saying that we're going to continue to coordinate with our nato allies and see what they can come up with. here's what's going to happen. they are going to have a big wow wow. they're waiting until monday to start it. that means nothing is going to happen, because it doe

peter doocy joins us live from washington with more. >> reporter: jenna, this is a 20-year-old with badplot ad new year's eve or new year's day attack in los angeles even warning a confidential inforth quote, don't go to l.a. anytime soon. please trust me on this. if you do go, don't use the subway. but he abandoned his plan to attack los angeles when he found out that the fbi was settings up and arresting other wannabe terrorists on facebook, because that is how he was corresponding with potential coconspirators. he shifted his intention to syria and packed his bag with boots, wool socks and military uniform. the plan was to take supplies up to canada and fly to syria from there where he would fight alongside al qaeda-linked extremist associated with a group called islamic state of iraq in the levant. he is a private in the national guard reserves who never had any academic requirements to actually start basic training so they are discharging him now. he thought he could help the extremists in syria learn how to shoot straight. he used social media to explain his intentions and his une

. >> peter doocy is live in washington with the latest on this delay. test delay in the affordable care act essentially excuses even more plans that do not meet the minimum standards laid out by the law. it is a delay with convenient timing for democrats. as you know, one of the most basic pillars of the affordable care act is the part that requires all plans to offer certain things like emergency services, trips to the hospital, prescription drugs, pediatric services and maternity care. a few months ago, to prevent a wave of mass cancellations, president obama encouraged insurance companies to keep offering substandard plans for one more year. but now "the hill" newspaper is reporting the white house wants another delay because even though that one-year extension already in place would keep substandard plans current through the mid term election, there is still huge liability for supporters of the affordable care act since cancellation notices need to go out 90 days before a plan is removed. and that 90-day window means people would find out they are lo
