regardless of the acars, it would have provided essential information, the same thing that air france used to find that search and at least understand where that was. so lessons learned? all major airlines that have jumbo jets, the regulators across the board should require and mandate that that's a part of every base package when you buy an airplane. >> and when you think about it, $10 a flight -- >> between the united states and europe, it is required for planes to fly the busy north atlantic but it is not elsewhere in the world. >> miles, what lessons should we be learning from this? >> picking up on that, it's a lesson on how important it is for the regulatory bodies to really step up and force these issues. the airlines are not going to do it on their own, even $10 a flight, the airlines are -- it's such a close margin business. they are not going to spend it unless they have to, unless they mandate it. it's important that the regulators, faa, all these entities step up to the plate and realize that these are important things to react to. >> behind all of these lessons, of course, the

it was debris found five days after the crash of air france but it was two years before we actually got to the black boxes. >> but you were reminding us that in the air france crash, the pinging in the black box, it wasn't working? >> that's right. there was some sense that the pingers had failed. they never heard them. they were right on top of the wreckage within days but it led them on this wild goose chase of an expanding search zone because they couldn't hear the pingers. >> and there's no guarantee the pinging is working in this case, either. in the meantime, it was last night here, viewers were asking about drones, why we weren't using them flying over the indian ocean. but as you heard david wright just report there, they are preparing to use a so-called underwater drone. how does this work, steve? >> right. they are quite useful. because you're not putting anybody at risk. these drones can go at much deeper depths. they can carry lots of extra gear and they can stay down for a long time. they'll be quite useful in helping us find any potential wreckage on the bottom of the sea floor. >> all right, steve ganyard, let's hope so

that's how long it took us to find air france 447 when it went down. us about five days, and that's what it's taken here. the good part is when you find debris, then you know where you can go down to get the recorders. and those two recorders have the key to everything of interest. >> vernon, we're looking at a map now. there's a red line where the malaysian military originally said they thought the jet had gone west. but the original track of the plane, the malaysian airline, the track, the heading, was right along where this site, debris site is said to be, off the koesh coast of vietnam. it seems to add up, but again, we can't confirm that until they get boats and they actually get pieces and collect them from that area. >> however, we have quite a bit of equipment available in that area. now, i never really did buy that western-southwestern track they came up with anyhow, and i think they even retracted it as well. but the original flight pattern, the one where the white arrow is, the one we're really concerned about, i think it fits the pattern be

oceanographer who helped locate the air france jet tells us that if this does turn out to be debris from a missing malaysian plane it is going to be tricky but not impossible to find the rest. >> about 2.5-3 mi. deep. it is not impossible. >> no debris has been spotted by plane searching the area. a norwegian ship did reach the area but it has not found anything either. it will resume tomorrow >> president obama is turning up the heat on russia to back off its takeover of crimea. that announced new sanctions. he is already targeting russian and crimean leaders. the united states will go after key sectors of the russian economy. >> this is not our preferred outcome. the sanctions would not only have a significant impact on the russian economy could be disruptive to the global economy. russia must know that further escalation will only isolate it further from the international community. >> and your administration officials say the new sanctions will target the 17th largest bank. the move bars the bank from doing any business with american companies or individuals and freezes and the unite

. >> thanks for being with us on the program. so france has a new prime minister. tell us more about manuel vals why he has been given that job. >> well, the president decided that it might be better to have a new face. he thinks that manuel vals was one of the most popular french politicians who changed the situation, after the dramatic results yesterday. i don't know if this might be true but at the same time he has put to the prime ministership his principal rival for the next presidential elections in three years' time. so we might have rather than a fighting government, a government which might try to work on his own, rather than with the president, we might have a new cohabitation and this might not fit with what hollande has promised today. >> also does a change in cabinet also mean a change in policy for hollande? >> well, not really, from what he says, he says he understood the anger, the dissatisfaction, the distress of the voters. and he wants to go on with his reforms. but having social policy hand in hand with his economic reforms. he has insisted as he

in general, local elections in france are used to punish the government in power. we saw that under jacque chirac. swept.ialist party now, it is the reverse of that. >> is probably easy to dismiss it and a protest vote. nevertheless, all we're hearing is that we are going to see a significant reshuffle as a result of this. use this asnde will a way to shake up his team. >> that is the other great tradition in french politics. there is almost definitely going to be a cabinet reshuffle. it has been in the works for quite a while. several ministers are either unpopular or squabbling with other ministers. there is not the greatest amount of discipline over this cabinet. francois hollande will definitely use that to put some discipline into his cabinet heard it may also involve shrinking the size of it. come up with numbers somewhere well into the 20's at how many ministers there are. you may want to bring that down, which is in the -- which is the case in most european countries. the visit -- then there's is the question of what he is going to do with the other party l

. >> france is important for us. it was the only country last market wentthe backwards. e bank of france showed a decline in the market. we are seeing some signs of stability. 2% and theer yesterday's the data on france on pmi looks a more positive. we are seeing stability in france after a really difficult year last year. it is still very uncertain as a key question is consumer confidence confronted with government policies which customers are generally are worried about the level of tax they may have to pay and unemployment. the hoping we are seeing beginning of stabilize in france but it is a bit early to call that. exit u.k. housing market and its highs and lows must be something you are fascinated by and follow very closely over the years. this in a number of booms and busts. what did you express at the moment at how we do benefit from the recovery in the housing market? doesn't look healthy? >> what we are seeing are two different phenomena. led structure that is unlike other boons with existing properties. from a very low house buying level. we see that coming thro

. >> that's what was used for air france back in 2009 to bring up those black boxes at 13,000 feet. do we have any idea of the timeline? how information is going to be announced? we saw the prime minister of australia yesterday making an announcement to maritime safety officials, are there more press conferences scheduled or is it just going to be kind of piecemeal? >> reporter: very, very piecemeal. from what we understand, there are no press conferences scheduled. and as far as that prime minister's statement yesterday, you know, this is being greeted by skepticism by many of us, but they say here look, the prime minister would not have said this unless he was fairly certain this might lead to something, fairly certain, not 100%, but fairly certain, that he is somebody that does like the press but he does want to be careful about what he does. so they are taking this very cautiously. >> all right. in a moment, randi kaye has a look at some of the high tech equipment that can penetrate even the deepest part of the ocean. so far, attention is on the surface. now might be a good time

france. other parties will join us including france, poland, and germany, foreign ministers who were also present when this was signed on february 21. thank you. >> secretary jack lew announced guarantees to help ukraine with its political position. testifying before the senate finance committee, he said do not makections sense. >> before a begin, let me say a few words about the situation in ukraine. territorial integrity is breached by international law. we are looking into a wide range of options including sanctions and ways to increase the political and economic isolation. the ultimate goal is to de-escalate the situation in ukraine. as they prepare for elections, it's critical that they support their efforts to restore economic stability. i have still -- i have spoken with ukrainian prime minister and they say they are ready to adopt a vital economic reforms. we have been working closely with partners and congress to develop an assistant package to help ukrainian government implement the reforms needed to restore stability and return to economic growth. as part of this international effort,

use? are we talking submarines, explorer vessels? >> in air francewere able to use for the first time a new kind of high-tech underwater autonomous vehicle, basically a robot sub that could on its own navigate under water, go along a straight line and when they get to a mountain range -- it was a very mountainous stretch of ocean, go up, down, follow the contours. because you need to be close to the seabed you're scanning to get a good high res image. the previous technology wasn't able to get that close. so we'll be able to use that kind of technology and presumably find it a lot faster. >> here's the question, who has that technology? the malaysians have already said we don't have submarine capability, so -- >> americans actually have a bunch of these things. so i'm sure the research institute that has a bunch of these subs will provide them. >> let's talk about the timeframe we're dealing with right here. how important is it to get to these two data sources quickly? there's the voice data recorder and of course the flight data recorder. how quickl

but arnett said it was about maintaining a standard of quality, citing france's champagne. >> the woods used are readily available. >> in nashville he ships 30,000 cases of whiskey every year. he said consumers, not lawmake lawmakers, should define what is quality. and new barrels cost $100 more and can hurt small companies like this. >> we're seeing a tremendous shortage of barrels and it won't be long until we see the bryce go up and up. >> many are pushing the state to rewrite the law. some lawmakers admit the legislature may have overstepped it's bounds. >> if we mandate tennessee whiskey. then another company, seegrams will say we want to define tennessee vodka. and then another company, tennessee tequila. >> now the decision on wha what constitutes tennessee whiskey in your glass may not be the bar but the court. >> a florida woman got angry at an overzealous driver that was following her in a truck. she turns on her cell phone to record him. he slows down to make an obscene gesture to her and then drove right into a ditch. jeffrey white took off after the road rage disaster. the video

submersibles like the remus 100, used to help locate air france 447. this is a costly endeavor. the cost to the u.s. taxpayers alone, about $2.5 million. but i think most would agree that it's a small price to pay for answers. david? >> david wright tonight, thank you. >>> and for the first time we're hearing from the family of the lead crew member on that flight. their anguish and their anger now, bob woodruff tonight. >> reporter: this is the home of patrick gomez, the chief steward of flight 370, three daughters, one son, a grandson and his wife, jackie, says he keeps calling his cell phone, praying that he is still alive. >> i call him on the phone, left him a message, hoping that he'll reply. >> reporter: there have been vigils from pakistan to china, to malaysia and more. but there is also growing anger that the malaysian government isn't being honest. one official kept calling the family next of kin. >> i think we all need closure. >> reporter: he's still just waiting for his grandfather, he has no idea what's happened. what are you going to tell him? >> he still thinks t

. >> purcell helped to develop the technology used to track the air france flight on the ocean floor. >> this is an autonomous underwater building and his name is rem us 6,000, because he can go to a depth of 6,000 metres. it's like an underwater drone. snow t >> the unmanned craft moves back and forwards like a lawn mower and can eventually be of use in the search for malaysia airlines flight mh370. >> the technology could be valuable, especially if it's determined that the debris site could be located in areas where the sea floor is rough. the vehicles are very good. it's navigating in that kind of terrain. the submarine is equipped with sonar. it bounces off the ocean floor and the vehicle records the returning sound signals, mapping the area. >> different things reflect sound - whether it's sand, mud, rocks, and manmade objects. so we can say, "this is the crash site." sometimes we think rocks are possible, so any time we see a potential target we'll program the vehicle on the next mission to swim to that same location, and in this case it swims close to the sea floor, 10 metres,

it reminds us of the air france disaster, flying over the atlantic. it took a long time to find wreckage and what happened to it. we have this plane, missing, on radar coverage. in that area there is no radar coverage under about 30,000 feet altitude. they don't know where the plane was. they can't pinpoint where to look. >> the black box should be pinging. shouldn't they be able to locate the black boxes or some of the aircraft? >> the black box will ping for 30 days. you have to be two or three miles, if it is underwater, to be able to hear that ping. they are so confused that they haven't found anything where they thought the plane would be. they're now trying to think well maybe it actually went down in a different area. >> they're saying everything, all the leads from this weekend, the possibilities of a rectangle, it may be a float are, a seat or a door or something and the possibility of nothing, nothing seems to be connected to the crash. >> i talked to one aviation expert who was telling me that his best thought at this point is maybe it did
