we're joined by nic robertson in kuala lumpur. nic, right now, this investigation does turn on finding the data recorders? >> reporter: it does, most certainly. the most senior official here tweeted, the acting transport minister, he's cautiously more optimistic, he says that he prays that this information will help move everyone forward. he's also -- he prays on the lead of the investigation there, in the search in australia. angus houston describing him as a professional for the malaysian officials here. they won't say about any of the developments they're making on the investigation because they say that really the black box information is going to be critical to their investigation, to filling out some of the unknowns that they don't have at the moment. if we think about it, the malaysians have organized their investigation to sort of three separate areas. one of those areas deals with the voice data. and the data recorders. but there's another -- another group within the investigation, the medical group, which will also look

nic robertson is live in kuala lumpur. nic, why haven't we heard much in recent days from investigators? >> they seem not to want to prejudge anything that will come out of the additional information that the black boxes will provide them. they've heard from the acrie a transport minister here, saying the passengers on the flight who had been ruled out by the police chief, he says they can't be ruled out until the black boxes are discovered. pretty much whatever they're finding out here, they're not sharing. basically, they don't want to prejudice the investigation. but it gives the very clear impression that in terms of precisely who was responsible and what happened, they don't want to get ahead of themselves, because they don't have a lot of concrete information to go on. it all took place in the sky, somebody taking control of the aircraft, somebody flying it to a very remote destination. beyond that, they really don't have a lot. it seems that they just don't want to get ahead of themselves. they really want to see wh

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 civilian passenger airline or route that goes up the coast of malaysia there, goes between asia and india and onwards to europe. so, that's their assessment of that data. we also understand that the malaysian military put into the air search aircraft very early in the morning, 8:00 a.m. in the morning, soon after they heard reports from ma

nic robertson is live in kuala lumpur. nic, why have we not heard much in recent days from investigators? >> reporter: well, it does seem that they really want to keep all their information close to their chest. they do seem to believe that the black box is going to provide vital clues and that anything they say now may prejudice what they may later find out. we do know at the moment there is a debate going on about who will extract the data from the black box. malaysian officials have said that they're not technically capable. we were told over the weekend that the malaysian attorney general was in london discussing that with international officials. they were looking at international law, local law, before it would be decided who would do that most important task of extracting the data. we heard from the acting transport minister over the weekend, essentially overruling what we had earlier heard from the head of police here. the head of police had ruled out all 229 passengers on board the aircraft from the investigation.

nic robertson live in kuala lumpur for us this morning. nic, what are they saying? first, how is the airline changing procedures inside the aircraft and what are the airline workers saying about it? >> reporter: christine, what the airline has done is told now that whenever a pilot leaves the cockpit, that somebody of the air crew on board has to take his place inside the cabin. and also, they need to do sort of blocking procedures, if one of the pilots is leaving the cockpit to go to the bathroom or whatever. they're saysaying, the crew mems are saying that they haven't been trained for this sort of security procedure, that they are trained to help people get off the aircraft in the case of an emergency. but really, what they're saying is they've been put in the front line of security, they don't have the training, they haven't been consulted on this, and they believe that air marshals should be doing this sort of job that the airline really isn't handling this properly. we've also heard other critic m criticism, and this is coming from family members of air crew w

our nic robertson joins us in kuala lumpur. nic, appreciate it, thank you. >> and the reason for that is we have to keep in mind that this has been a long and difficult wait for the relatives of the 239 people aboard the missing malaysia airliner. they are still without answers today. let's continue to look into how they're doing and how they're responding to some of the developments of this search. live from our bureau in hong kong after spending many weeks with these relatives in beijing. pauline, as frustrated as the malaysian government may be, you no know, these families are experiencing a unique kind of pain. nothing like this has ever happened before. what are the relatives up to today? >> reporter: yeah. nothing like this has ever happened before in history. and none of these relatives ever expected to be in this situation. none of these relatives ever expected to be facing day 37 of the search. we heard nic asking all those questions to the acting transportation and defense minister. well, the families asked those very

no word on they have found. >>> and nic robertson in kuala lumpur. we saw numbers, nic, in terms of the cost of this search. nearly a quarter of a billion dollars. is that a projected cost or is that up until right now? day 42? >> reporter: yeah, that is the projected cost, bill. it basically says look, when this current search area which is a limited area is done, if nothing is found there then there will be another search area back along the arc of the sort of satellite track, 30 miles long, and across. when you get into that and start to work on that that the costs -- this is what the cost projection looks at. so a quarter of a billion dollars potentially. we're not there yet. but of course somebody has got to pay for this. and that discussion is already under way, bill. >> yeah, i'm sure for the families it does not matter who pays as long as they just keep looking there. and speaking of those families we talked last night about them sort of taking matters into their own hands, organizing. listing 26 questions on that. where does that stand? will

we just heard from nic robertson that it's estimated to be nearly $250 million.n terms of operational deployments, we are not in that ballpark and as i said before, to do a detailed sonar search across the area that's being discussed would cost less than 10% of the figure that was mentioned by the minister. >> hmm. david, inmarsat, they helped track the plane earlier in the story, an executive said that they planned to offer free banking services to airlines. i guess this is some good news. could that solve another flight 370 from happening the way that this story has played out? >> well, it's important with any piece of the puzzle, the entire air traffic system is interdependent on each other. so a separate system that does that, i think that could be very valuable but it's really important that they integrate that with the next gen system and the new programs in place in the next 15 to 20 years. we've got to think about how it gets implemented, not just that the tool is available to make it valuable. >> david soucie, rob mccallum, thank you. >>> cold and runnin

we'll get to nic robertson right now. we have him back.'s go to nic robertson there with us in jindo, south korea, for the very latest. first, nic, tell me about the arrests, three more of these arrests made. >> reporter: yeah, these are people that were arrested at the korean shipping association. they've been accused of destroying documents that belong to the company or relate to communications with the company that owns the "sewol" ferry, so, this is a clear indication of the investigation widening. we've also heard from the prosecutor's office here saying they are also investigating now the 911 emergency phone line service locally to see if they responded fast enough. they've also opened a line of investigation into the local coast guard here to see if they responded appropriately and quickly enough as well, poppy. >> also this morning, some very disturbing cell phone video, recording, actually. the audio has been released, correct me if i'm wrong, by a father who lost a child on the ferry. tell us about it and then let us listen to a

the pathology experts for what they may find aboard the aircraft. >> thanks to nic robertson for that. there was one american adult on board flight 370. philip wood, an ibm employee heading them to beijing. his partner sarah bajc tells jake tapper on "the lead" she thinks philip wood may still be alive. and she doesn't think that we're hearing the truth about what happened to the jet. >> i do believe that there is some sort of cover-up by some sort of government agency. whether that's malaysia, the united states, china. i don't know. but it's impossible to me that all those governments' radars were so silent and so quiet when a 777 was flying over their air space. there's nearly something we don't know. >> most the people on board that flight were chinese. of course, they want answers. but they are saying there's been so much false information throughout these 33 days. at this point, they don't know what to believe. pauline shew has been spending the last 33 days with these grieving families in beijing. there was a meeting overnight between a group of americans and some of the familie

nic robertson in south korea.anks so much. >>> president obama blaming russia for the crisis in ukraine. discussing new sanctions. we'll take you live to tokyo where the president is with what he said overnight. [ male announcer ] this is jim. a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto. like warfarin, xarelto is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin there is lim

i'm going to ask robert to address that. ~ >> bruce robertson [speaker not understood] for the airport. supervisor, we have a existing sanitary treatment plant and an existing industrial waste treatment plant and we have some vacant land by the waste treatment plant where we will house the new one. >> where are they located? >> that is currently in what would be the northeast part of the airport where the north cargo area is. so, away from our terminal complex. >> okay, thank you. >> thank you. >> colleague, if there is no further comment, we'll move to our budget analyst report. mr. rose, can we go through 3, 4, 5? >> yes, mr. chairman, members of the committee. regarding item 3, on page 11 of our report in the fiscal impact section, we note that funding of the plot 700 development project is contingent upon approval by the board of supervisors of the issuance and appropriation of up to 1.9 billion in airport [speaker not understood] and that's under files 14 0 237 which we'll get to in a minute and 1403 2. the annual debt service on the pro positived bond is paid for by annual operat

nic robertson joins us live from kuala lumpur. nic, you broke this news this morning, the notion that the plane disappeared, then reappeared. lay out the implications here about altitude and what this means now for the investigation. >> reporter: well, this is the first time, john, that we've heard about any change in altitude of this aircraft. this is an important detail for investigators. ist it's something we've been chasing for some time. what we've heard is after it flew back across the malaysian peninsula, you remember it did a left turn back across the malaysian peninsula, it gets out over the straits then it disappeared from military radar, reappears about 120 nautical miles further northwest. now, we're told that this has been deduced, that this disappearance has been deduced by those lack of radar traces, and they believe that the aircraft was downed at about 4,000 or 5,000 feet above sea level, missing, avoiding the military radar. they say the reason this could have been happening is because the airways are quite busy

that's interesting. >> nic robertson reporting live from kuala lumpur.stepping up security to make sure nothing like this happens again. they required no pie lot or fir captain is allowed to be alone inside the cockpit. they are stepping up security measures standing up the cockpit area. renee marsh joins me from washington. take us through the new rules. >> carol, the first one you spoke about, no pilot or first officer is allowed to be alone in the cockpit. the reason behind that is, for example, if one pilot has a health issue, you always want someone who is able-bodied to be in the cockpit to fly the plane or if a pilot has sinister intentions, you wouldn't want it that person in the cockpit alone. here in the united states, a pilot is never alone in the cockpit. before they leave the cockpit, they have to receive verification that it is clear for them to come out. when they do come out, we know that the door is blocked. if someone is at the cockpit door, for example, and wants to get in, the pilot must make a visual contact through that little peep

nic robertson, kuala lumpur, malaysia. >> thanks, nic. bring back the panel, bob francis, mary schiavo and robert carr. is this a case of internal agencies not working together or is it that it's an unusual set of circumstances and not everyone is communicating at their best? bob, you first. >> well, i think the malaysian performance since the beginning has been -- has been very, very unfortunate and weak. one of the things i was thinking about today is i wonder how specifically they have worked with the french after the air france accident or the u.s. after the swiss air accident and really talked to them in a meaningful way. i know that there is an ntsb group out in kuala lumpur and i would wonder, given the way that the malaysians are acting, whether they are benefiting from that as much as they might. >> so mary, is there a way in which the malaysian authorities can recover from this? because certainly it's been very messy at the beginning and i guess it could only worsen but at what point and how can they recover from this since ther

i spoke with david kennedy and bloomberg news cyber security reporter jordan robertson about these developments. i asked do they believe the nsa? >> the nsa denies but bloomberg is standing behind the story. what this illustrates is that this is a serious issue. heartbleed is a serious issue in internet encryption. we know that the n.s.a. has been trying many different ways to compromise internet encryption. it is almost irrelevant whether this was the heart lead bug or something else. bloomberg is standing behind the story. >> david, what do you think? >> i think the nsa will say what they need to. their whole purpose is to be a spy agency. they have huge cyber warfare capabilities. their whole purpose is to really go and actively export these types of laws prevented not have to disclose whether or not they discover this previously or not. that is part of the national security thing that they say basically that they had no idea that happened even though they could have been exploiting it for years. they have all of these types of things in their arsenal. they have hundreds if not thousands of
