these vessels have been combing the length of the andaman islands all the way south towards malaga straits thursday. after reporting no sightings, india's military search was temporarily suspended on sunday. but for passenger ships, the search request still stands. >> you've been looking into this unbelievable search area. that is one ship and one section near the and a man islands. it's unfathomable. >> that was the easy part. the gulf of thailand was supposedly easy. the strait of may lag ga was easy. now you're expanding it, even based on that one satellite perspective, you're talking about the himalayas, a region very mountainous. just based on that one area you're talking about an area that's equivalent to two-thirds of the united states, the continental u.s. size, that's where we're trying to find one airplane. that's why this is an absolutely remarkable search taking place when it comes to the vast expanse of nature. initially this was an area we were looking at carefully. the eastern fringe kind of more focused on the western fringe where we know there is two arcs in place based on

chris boss, you investigated the tragedy of twa 800 off the south coast of long island. i know you've been thinking about how to investigate this disaster, even if they have not found the wreckage. even if no wreckage exists, isn't there plenty of investigation like the twa 800 investigation that could go on in the meantime? >> yeah, there's a lot here. and if i could talk in, the focus has been on the communication from the flight crew. three things about the communication. the first thing, of course, i find it very hard to believe they were in trouble and they never would have communicated they were in trouble. the second thing that the plane started to make a turn and then they communicated calmly afterwards while they were fighting a disaster, with no sound whatsoever, even an oxygen mask. i tifind that impossible to believe. and i think the final communication -- all right goodnight -- is an abnormality and it is unusual for them to not self-identify the plane, mh 360 at that time. we see that a lot. at the beginning of a crime, they say, i did this, did i ti that. t

the bad guys. iran, russia, china in those islands in the south china sea we will see it happening every where.orld knows it and they are scared to death. >> obama has absolutely no problem using american power. he has expanded the drone war. he invaded libya. when people bring up a lot of the countries problematic in the world they are not countries we are going to use ground forces in. we are not going into ire yaw or iran. lindsay gram brought up north korea we didn't have enough ground troops to go into north korea. people will ould be horrified t know we might go into north korea. >> he is basically shifting resources into other things to more modern warfare. a lot of the cuts are coming into the army. it is not designating tcember n decimating the army. in terms of fighting two with aers at a time. i don't think people want to fight two wars at the same time anyway. he's putting it to other areas like cyber warfare and special forces and things like that. the idea that obama doesn't take the trust against the country. he is aggressive to my chagrin, frankly. >> i don't want to fight one w

here is a beachfront building at the south kingstown beach in rhode island. you can see the ocean right up against it. well, that's what it used to look like not too long ago, just 1994. this building is that building. this walkway is that walkway. and as you can see, this walkway is broken up by the storm. the ocean has now come to here. the entire beach has gone. so we see it in rhode island as much as we do in far away island kingdoms. but to your point about acidification, the seas are an honest witness that oceans don't lie. you can measure what the oceans are telling us about climate change. and they're telling us that they are getting warmer. it's not complicated. you measure that with a thermometer. they are getting bigger, higher. the law of thermal expansion means that when you warm fluids, they expand and the seas therefore rise. you measure that with more or less equivalent of a yardstick. thermometers and yardsticks. it's not complicated. it's undeniable. the third piece as the senator mentioned is ocean acidification, which everybody who has an a

daily papers in vietnam, the vietnamese navy commander is now saying that the plane went down around 150 miles south of an island off of vietnam and it appears so that this is definitely the case that this airliner went down. the family members in the hotel behind me have been streaming and not knowing what the situation was. one woman wailed out in chinese, my son was only 14 years old. she was led into crowds of reporters trying to find out any information. another man said he had a relative on the plan, looking very bleak. most of not commenting at all on this but the chinese authorities are saying they have sent these two vessels towards the south china sea to try to conduct some kind of rescue and recovery efforts. at this point barrier early but i wanted to share with you then is that it appears this plan, according to the people's daily as well as leading vietnamese papers, the navy is saying in vietnam this plan could have gone down. >> that is big news. it i heard you correctly, that is coming from vietnam navy commander. can you repeat the name of the island that he reported it might have gone down her

of late, however, as china has claimed most of the south china sea, and lots of island chains within that great region, that are also claimed by vietnam, malaysia, philippines, and brunei, there's lots of tension. this search for this plane has actually brought at least momentarily everybody together in a common endeavor. this is not something that's always come easily to china, which has always been circumspect about violations of other countries' sovereignty, for humanitarian intervention, or efforts that have involved sort of collective international community. so this is a good example, i think, of china joining such an effort. but i don't think in the long run it's going to mitigate the tensions in the south china sea. >> all right. orville shell joining us from san francisco, thank you very much. >> pleasure. >>> to the other major story, the crisis in ukraine. this afternoon ukraine accusing russia of sending troops outside of crimea. they said russia deployed 80 troops, three armored vehicles and four helicopter gun ships in a region north of crimea. back here in new york, at
