the northern corridor that stretches from the border of kazakhstan and turkmenistan and the southernsia into the vast southern reaches of the indian ocean. let me bring in nbc's kerry sanders. he's been following this very closely. right now, by land or by sea, does it make more sense to be searching which? >> reporter: well, i'm not sure whether it makes more sense. it's actually easier to search land than it is the sea because you have three dimensions where you have the water. it goes down in the indian ocean 2 1/2 miles. if the debris has gone down, it's not going to be visible even to the high-tech equipment. let me show you what we're talking about in terms of an area. if you're looking at the continental u.s., you're talking about 3.7 million square miles. look here, this down here would be the indian ocean. that's 7.8 million miles. so you get an idea of how big of an area we're really talking about. sorry, i hit the wrong button there. what we're talking about is an area here that they're searching. now, the search area continues all the way up here towards kazakhstan in the

you see it starts in northern thailand and goes all the way to kazakhstan, turkmenistan area. the area area starts in the area of indonesia, this is the southeastern area, and goes all the way tote south indian ocean off the coast of australia. this area has expanded. they're not focusing on those two areas. >> and the investigation, 14 countries, 43 ships, 58 aircraft involved in the search. now that we have this zpanexpan area, you have to think even more joining it. >>> coming up on "new day" who was inside the cockpit now that the investigation turned to the crew and passengers? >> we're talking to a former pilot next, knowing who was on board trying to solve one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history now. not chalky. temporary... 24 hour. lots of tablets... one pill. you decide. prevent acid with prevacid 24hr. starts with freshly-made pasta, and 100% real cheddar cheese. but what makes stouffer's mac n' cheese best of all. that moment you enjoy it at home. stouffer's. made with care for you or your family. to prove to you that aleve is the better choice for him, he

one that stretches from kazakhstan and turkmenistan all the way to thailand. and one from malaysia to the east coast of india. that's a lot of space to search. clearly they believe the satellite data leads them to believe that the plane took these actions. one other point to note, it does appear from what he said, it confirms earlier reports by ap and by some british news magazines that whoever was flying this plane may have even taken evasive action. they came back west and when they headed into vietnam radar space, they turned northwest, like they knew where they were going in order to fly around this radar. it certainly seems to lead to that indication these folks were sophisticated. >> the news conference is over. no questions. he walked right off the stage and he was clear to say this was a joint conclusion. >> also he said the aaib, which is the united kingdom air accident investigation board. so we have at least three different countries concurring about this. >> but he did say he wanted -- they were going to be refocusing their investigation. >> on tho

countries that may be involved here and he said it goes all the way from the border of kazakhstan and turkmenistancorridor, all the way down to just open water in the southern indian ocean, from indonesia. so a huge area, to be covered. no doubt about that. and he wants to bring in some of these countries that might have radar records. he says they're being invited. they're going to be briefed, and they're going to try to find out if they can collect even more data that will yield some solid clues, particularly if it took that northern route. there would be countries that would have radar records that might be able to shed some light on what has happened to flight 370. so a lot coming out of that press conference, perhaps more than i expected. when we look at it on its face, it seems that the malaysian government is telling us they understand. now they have to go back. they have to look at every single person on that passenger manifest. and yes, they're going to have to look more closely at the crew members, if for no other reason, than to clear them. natalie, back to you. >> all right, jim clancy

a northern arc stretches over land, from kazakhstan and turkmenistan. and the southern arc, into the indian ocean. 25 countries now involved in this huge search. >> of course, we have team coverage this morning. we start with a closer look at the men behind the controls of flight 370. and whether anything in their personal lives provide clues into this great mystery. bob woodruff is in the malaysian capital of kuala lumpur. >> we learned that the pilots did not make a special request for fuel. the investigators are looking at all those onboard, especially those with aviation experience. this morning, investigators are digging deeper into information about the crew members, engineers, ground crew, passengers and the two pilots. investigators, in unmarked cars, spent the last two days going in and out of the gated neighborhood, for the 53-year-old pilot, captain ahmed shah. four security guards keeping reporters from getting in. you're not allowed anybody in? any media in? no way? they're concentrating on his flight simulator inside his house. studying tw

this stretch includes an area from north thailand to the border of turkmenistan and kazakhstan. the southern corridor reaches from indonesia to the southern tip of the indian ocean. malaysia's prime minister told reporters this morning that investigators believe the plane's communications were deliberately disabled. >> based on communication we can say with a high degree that there aircraft communication addressing and reporting system was disabled. >> the announcement confirms days of mounting speculation that the disappearance of the plane with 239 passengers on board was not accidental. investigators will now focus on who may have taken control of the plane and why. >> despite media reports that the plane was hijacked, i wish to be very clear, we're still investigating four possibilities as to what cost 370 to deviate from its original flight. >> an official who is involved in the investigation -- says they have not established a motive. nor who may be responsible. the official concludes that hijacking is no longer a theory. and is quoted saying. the hijacking is conclusive.

it now stretches from thailand and kazakhstan and turkmenistan. >> at the point it left military radar coverage, this movement consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane. personal stories are coming out about some of the passengers. they range in age from two to 76. a woman who works for a texas semiconductor firm brought her daughter. and there are two young boys with their family while they went to vocation in vietnam. >> and 51-year-old philipwood, who is an executive at ibm. >>> in crimea, they are heading to the polls for whether they should leave the ukraine. they called the referendum illegal and said russia will face consequences if they claim crimea. that could be as soon as today. >> i have been living here for 23 years. and i work at school for a long time and so today i am here because i have a chance to make a choice. >> russia continues to grow the military presence in the ukraine. >> six helicopters and armored vehicles arrived just ahead of the vote. there are concerns about election fraud with today's vote. this man is dropping two ballots in a box in cr

in the northern corridor, turkmenistan confirmed they have had no sightings of mh-370 at all on theirrtners in the northern corridor helps us to continuously narrow that corridor. satellite images, new leads into mh-370's possible location have come from satellite data. this is one of the four tools we identified that could narrow the search area along with surveillance radar data, increasing surface and air assets and bringing in more technical experts. the most recent images were taken by the french satellites which captured potential objects in the vicinity of the southern corridor on the 21st of march. these images were received by malaysia on the evening of the 22nd of march, and we relayed to rcc australia on the morning of the 23rd of march, as they are leading the search in that particular area of the southern corridor. this morning, we have received a further set of images from french satellites, this time captured by cameras. these images were taken yesterday and had been relayed to the rcc australia. family briefings. yesterday, a high-level team met with tafamilies in beij

possible paths that the missing jet could have taken, one to the north, the border of kazakhstan, and turkmenistan, to northern thailand, then another toward the southern indian ocean. my question is, why are officials zeroing back on the indian ocean, because and with the new reporting, what your reporting, does that northern track, is it even significant, you think? >> well, you're still going to see some searching going on up there. but when you put the map up, just look the at the countries g the northern track. you know, china, thailand, pakistan, indian, myanmar. these are all very well-established air defense areas. what i mean by that is they're militaries, civilian air traffic control radars. all of that is pretty substantial in that region of the world. as you move into central asia, kazakhstan, the u.s. military presence in afghanistan. these are airspaces that are china, very closely watched. any one of these countries would have seen, would have observed the crash of a 777 in their airspace. that, again, theory, none of these countries have reported any crash. none of them have found

paths that the missing jet could have taken and one to the north from the border of kazakhstan and turkmenistan to northern thailand and then another toward the southern indian ocean, and why are the officials now zeroing back in on the indian ocean, barbara? >> well, going back to the crucial turn between kuala lumpur and vietnam. the people who flew this route knew that they were headed north to beijing, essentially. this is a 90-degree turn to the west. they don't turn back. so, you know, if you are a passenger on the plane, you know that you are not going in the right direction, and somebody has to tell you why that is. >> right. >> so it flies to the west. it flies out into the indian ocean. the reason that they are not too c convinced in the u.s. government ant this northern track that we have shown e repeatedly even though the malaysians technical analysis show it is possible, all of the countries in that region have significant military and radar capabilities, and they are kcompetent. they would have known of something coming across their air space. they would have had a radar s signatu

the plane may have flown this pattern, northwest over china and possibly into central asia, and turkmenistan, and over to western china, and that is where some of the groups have strong political can and ethnic problems with china and the west. and some analysts believe that is where they could find some value in taking the plane, but it is just one of the theories. it is a hard time of the scenarios. the families are hoping for any word for their loved ones, and we know it has been a long wait. david joining us, and it has been a painful eight days for the families, and you are seeing them at the hotel, and how are they coping with the eight days and the theories floating around now? >> well, it is difficult, jim, for them to cope, because as the days pass on and the hope is dashed, and then it comes back again for them, at least in their eyes, it is extremely tough. the prime minister press conference when he announced that will there is maybe or believe that there is deliberate action in the plane's disappearance, that for many families was in fact, giving them a glimmer of hope. >> trans

the group we were talking about last night, the uighur group or the east turkmenistan independence movement, those groups have conducted terrorist operations against china. i'm not so the enthralled by that theory because these passengers on the plane had testimony different destinations. some bound for beijing. some of them had flights to other places. it could have been the pilots wanting to do something deliberate. we don't know enough at this point. >> ambassador john huntsman said he didn't think those groups that may have engaged in terror in china had the operational ability to pull anything like this off. that was his view. jeremy bash, thank you very much. appreciate your taking the time. outfront" next, we're going to talk more about this issue of the pilots. we're learning more about the co-pilot of 370, why he allowed strangers to enter into the cockpit in a previous incident. we'll talk to a pilot about what might have happened in the cockpit. plus, terrorism, are is it to blame or not? the chairman of the house intelligence committee is out front. >>> and we'll learn more abou

one in the north reaching the kazakhstan/turkmenistan border and a southern one reaching to the southern indian ocean with 25 countries now involved in the search. yesterday the homes of the flight's pilot and co-pilot were searched by malaysian police, confiscating a flight simulator. as the search zone has expanded, so has the frustration with the malaysian government, as it now appears the missing flight passed over at least three military radar arrays after it took a u-turn over the gulf of thailand, even passing over one of the country's biggest cities at one point. joining me now for the latest is nbc's kerry sanders. thanks so much for joining me. tell us about the significance of these two arcs in terms of the manner in which they're now able to conduct this search. we're talking about land and sea obviously. >> when you're looking at it and you see the map and see those arcs, you must say to yourself, well, that's such a huge area. why have they added it? what they did was is the plane was flying, it was emitting a signal. that signal comes off the top of the airplane and hits a

that goes from the border of turkmenistan, kazakhstan and all the way down to northern thailand. well, much of that arc goes through western china. and the chinese foreign ministry announced today that they have beefed up their resources. now they've deployed ten ships, several airplanes as well as 21 satellites. that's up from ten satellites earlier this week. and part of that is to try to enhance any sort of imaging that they get, any sort of sign of this plane and where it might be along that corridor. >> so, an intensified chinese participation in this investigation joining the many other nations now involved with the search. our pauline chiou in beijing for us this morning. thank you very much. we appreciate it. of course, we will continue to follow the mystery of flight 370, all the new developments this morning. >>> but first, there are new developments in the crisis in ukraine. new developments that put the united states and russia even more at odds, even in more direct confrontation. russian president vladimir putin set to speak in just a little bit. we're live with the

east turkmenistan.da based in indonesia and asia. >> why are we certain the two traveling on stolen pose ports. >> we are not. no one has taken responsibility of this. it may be because it was a failed terrorist attack. meaning that again, there could have been inend tended target that never got there. >> intended target not in china, however, so it was flying backward? >> all passengers, all pilots. no one should be ruled out in collaboration with another very sophisticated knowledge of aviation of the 777 and aviation system including electronics and the communication systems, so no one should be ruled out at this time but whoever it was did have advanced knowledge and training of this system. >> there is usually chatter around events like this though that we pick up. isn't there? >> actually, more commonly not so much. that's because you wouldn't want to talk on any electronic communications about this plot as it is going. >> so terrorists are getting more sophisticated about that then you think. >>

the very dependent on gas and turkmenistan. so being optimistic, the key thing we can do is to regain on wall course. at the end of the cold war two things in conjunction. the west did an admirable and enviable just at the time the soviet system really collapsed. my worry is that my best russian friends and not particularly political. so actually what is really the difference? you know, you have organized crime, a top politician. you have -- politics, most people get on with their lives. why should remind some much? so much of what he does is replicated in the west. and so that's why i feel it's not just a struggle between the last and the kremlin but a struggle within russia for the future of russia because these people about for russia and the struggle within the west as well >> in wrong. >> the lady at the back. >> my question is a lot of the rhetoric using, the cold war rhetoric, i have read your book yet, but a ban on the block. mention in your suggesting in limiting russia from a al qaeda. his like a lot of the rhetoric t

in laos and cambodia and china and india and pakistan and kazakhstan and tu kazakhstan and turkmenistantalk about what mary said a little while ago. that looks like a tremendous number of countries it could wind up in based on 7 1/2 hours. think about what mary said about the flight of the plane of this. if you have a plane flying along at 35,000 feet using fuel for 7 1/2 hours, yes, it flies for a very long time. that is not true if you have a plane flying for a different level. now, you are burning an extraordinary amount of energy. you may be having 30%, 40% efficiency you had at 35,000 feet. planes are meant to fly at the stratosphere. so much more density of molecules. fly low to the ground as mary pointed out, you are going over the himalayas. if you were to apply that, you could fly for a long time in terms of hours but you wouldn't cover nearly as much ground. you start saying somewhere around western china at the most. this plane is probably out of fuel or it is sitting on the ground somewhere during part of this process. we don't know which. you know, carol, this is a constant

one, a northern corridor, which stretches from northern thailand to the border of khazakhstan or turkmenistanor the sorp corridor, stretching from indonesia. what will the governments of the new areas be called upon to do. will they be roped into this investigation. >> well, for the northern route certainly. it's likely that will happen. given that there's a possibility of this happening. there's a precedent in an accident investigation for them to be involved. there are no national authorities that have sway over the international waters of the indian ocean. if the southern rout is where it is it will be annest of many different negativies to comb th waters. >> how different is it to air-france. it took two years to find the wreckage. why did it take so long then, and are we seeing a similar situation now. >> there was floating records found five days later. the other thing that made the search easier. it was a long and difficult search was that they had a good idea of the last location. when they did an ocean graphic search, they were able to eventually find it. it took several trips. this

that the search area has been expanded, stretching in two arcs, one through central asia from turkmenistannesia to the remote indian ocean. here's the transportation minister at a press conference earlier today. >> the search area has been significantly expanded, and the nature of the search has changed. we're now looking at large tracts of land crossing 11 countries as well as deep and remote oceans. the number of countries involved in the search and rescue operation has increased from 14 to 25, which brings new challenges of coordination and diplomacy to the search effort. this is a significant recalibration of the search. >> the plane with 239 passengers and crew aboard has been missing since march 8th. investigators believe someone on board deliberately took the plane off course and disabled its communication systems, but we have no word yet on a possible motive. stay with msnbc today for the latest developments on this story. for now, we turn back to president obama, his messaging efforts on the aca, and the political football the issue continues to be. and republicans are eager to ma

oil resources the that exist, namely in turkmenistan and kaz extend, on the western side of the caspian. there are pipelines that go through there. this pipeline goes down to turkey and out into the mediterranean. it is very much in u.s. and russian interest to get that pipeline to cut straight to west -- street west through georgia. -- straight west through georgia. that is important because what it allows us to do is die --ersify and weekend and we get the russian monopoly. -- and weaken the russian monopoly. host: do you think the obama administration is doing enough to explain a what you are talking about -- to explain what you are talking about? caller: i don't blame the administration. i more so blamed the media. i think the administration should have that conversation that i don't know of that message would be very well accepted. -- have that conversation but i don't know if that conversation would be very well accepted. the i would like to make -- i would like to make another point. nato is dead.of that is a discussion that has been going on over the past seven years. behink our

get the gas they don't have a replacement they cannot get it from copper they cannot get it from turkmenistan then obviously they cannot get it from iran for obvious reasons we all know. and we know that barack obama is about to meet the post-coup ukrainian prime minister what do you expect. will emerge in terms of steps washington might take in support of the country's interim leadership now. well politically as i said legitimation of a region change in the ukraine which. politically illegal under you know president obama's so-called international law the way it is interpreted in washington of course and of course follow the money john kerry already promised one million dollars for ukraine which is a paltry sum it pays ukraine's bills for probably two weeks or so ukraine for the next two years are going to need thirty five billion dollars if they get what the european union is promising then billion euros there will be thirteen almost fourteen billion dollars the conditions for these packages are going to be absolutely outrageous everybody who lived in latin america or the i.m.f. structural
