rene marsh joining us from washington with more on this. rein earthquake, time is running out for batteries on recorders. if they are found, who will actually analyze these recorders and get critical information from them? >> fred, at this point it's unclear which countries would get these recorders. malaysian authorities would essentially make that decision. that said, the nbt here in the united states is the most sophisticated labs. one-third of their work is for foreign government. it's quite possible ntsb could get those for analysis. how fast a readout? that could happen in 24 hours. that's for investigators in the u.s. >> we're talking about the indian ocean. incredibly deep. how might the depth impact investigators ability to retrieve usable data from the recorders if indeed they could locate them. >> it's extremely deep, in some

thank you, libby casey, for joining us from washington, d.c. also joining us, james, deputy director from ukraine. is there a difference between authorization and action? >> not really. it seems to me that the big question is no now is whether ts an expo facto or is something more ambitious being planned by russia in the future. >> president obama said that he was deeply concerned about russian intervention in the ukraine, but what options does he have on the table? >> there is very small options. there is canceling the g-8 this year. i'm sure that really scares president putin. president obama has stayed clear of the red line characterization that he used in syria because there is not much the united states can do unless we want a nuclear confrontation with nato on one side and russia on the other. i don't think people want that. remember how people reacted to the military action in syria. >> you mentioned syria. is it possible that the syrian peace talks are now in jeopardy? there is up tension, could the peace talks be derailed? >> well, the

. >> al jazeera easily is a stark is live with us from washington, d.c. with more on what this latest twist could mean? >> morgan, the prime minister this morning refused to call this a hijacking, but let's be clear. either both of the pie lots or one of the pilots or someone else on this plane in the cockpit took command of this plane and took it thousands of miles off course. this morning now it is a criminal investigation they are searching the home in malaysia of the 53-year-old pilot. he was a veteran of the airline. they're looking to see if they can find any clues. it's unclear yet if they will searched or will be searching of the home of the 27-year-old co-pilot. this morning the prime minister said it was the military radar analysis that did show, in fact, that someone was at the controls when this plane went off course. >> up until the point at which it left military radar coverage this movement are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane. >> so here's what we know. both communication systems on the plane were deliberately turn

reaction joining us from washington, kate obenshain a republican and democrat kirsten powers.ers, are you surprised that climate change is not a colonel of most americans? >> no. because it typically it hasn't shown up in polls as being a top concern and, in fact, in recent polls, it's sort of decreased in terms of support. >> why do you think that is? >> i think it's two things. i think first of all people tend to be more with the immediate. the things that you listed at the top of the poll, the economy which obviously is going to impact how much money you make and your day-to-day life. climate change is more of a long-term problem. the second thing i think is happening is that it's become a really ideological issue. and so i think you start to see republicans being less concerned about it than democrats. a lot of republicans believe that it's really not even anything to be concerned about and i think that's something that we saw. >> for an issue that gets so much publicity, kate, to be -- only two issues, race, relations and climate change that were below the concern line. i

i left turn out to max hoffman standing by for us in washington max washington has said from the beginning and does not want to get involved in a military conflict but senses something to be bothering my scalp. what can does obama have left to play here. while there are some options especially financial options there's proof for example some american investment in russia if you look at the numbers the latest we have are from two thousand twelve. there were about fourteen billion dollars in american investment in russia that that's not a whole lot by american standards but still would have it with her. now if you look at global investors investing in stocks and bonds issued by russian companies that's a whole lot more three hundred and twenty five billion dollars in the last four years and obama would have the means to slow that down or even stop it but that the problem with this is important is for russia it would also hurt american companies. so that's why the americans are reluctant to take advantage of that and probably will stick to that framework they have in place now with the sancti

randall pinkston joins us from washington, d.c. do we have any details yet of the prime minister's visit? >> reporter: yes, morgan. the administration made it a point to spell out exactly the fact that the obama administration is supporting the new government of ukraine. it is symbolically significant that the president will welcome the new prime minister into the white house saying to russia the u.s. does not accept russia's contention that the old leader of ukraine is still the legitimate leader. meanwhile, however, russia is creating some facts on the ground of its own with their military forces. in fact, the former u.s. defense secretary roberts gates who served president obama and president bush says russia for all practical purposes has control of ukraine, and it's only the beginning. >> i think it's part of a long-term strategy on putin's part to re-create a russian sphere of influence and russian bloc. i don't think that he will stop in ukraine until there is a government in ukraine, in kiev that is essentially pro-russian.

randall pinkston joins us from washington. former defense secretary said today he doesn't think russia will let go of crimea. what is the u.s. doing to respond to russia's pretty aggressive move? >> reporter: well, morgan, the obama administration for now is focusing on political isolation and economics. today, the deputy national security adviser says russia is already feeling the pain. >> the cost is already significant, first of all. second, the president's made clear that going forward in coordination with our partners and allies, we have in place a mechanism with sanctions to raise the cost significantly, but this is really a choice for the russians to make. >> reporter: they say if president putin does not change course, russia will face increasing international isolation. morgan. >> speaking a response, what kind of response is the president getting from republicans? we know that cpac for example just wrapped up yesterday. >> reporter: yeah. cpac speakers, many of them, were scathing in their criticism of the administra

that's what norm or nstine joins us from washington. thank you for joining us.irst of all, how important of a deal is this earned income tax credit? if you don't receive that credit you probably don't know that much about it, but the president is trying to sell this as an improvement to people's well-being. >> and it is. this is a huge bonus for people who are working full time, but making at or near the minimum wage. it gives them an opportunity to have more money in their pockets, money to spend on essentials. but it has really been one that's left out single people, people without children. and what the president will do is expand it to a lot of those people and also reduce the age eligibility from 25 to 21. so if you're making $14,000 or $15,000 a year, and now the earned income tax credit means you can put several thousand dollars in your pocket it's an incentive for young people to work and work full time. >> it treats a different group than the increase in minimum wage would treat, although there would be some overlap between the groups and they would qua

i want to go to lisa stark, joining us from washington. we talked about china and the satellite images that turned out to be nothing. how significant do you think the announcement is, coming this morning? >> if you remember, there was a lot of confusion about the chinese images, and china said they never released them and at some point it seemed it may have been a hoax. this is more credible, according the to australians. they have had experts look at the satellite images. they didn't show the media what the images looked like or describe them particularly, except to say there were at least two objects. and during the news conference, the maritime authority in australia indicated that - seemed to indicate there may be additional objects seen, but the two main ones, one about 79 feet long, so a good size, actually. but, again. they are being cautious. they say this is the best lead they have had so far. they have been very clear that they've been down this road before with other investigations, and unfortunately you get to a point where you

let's go to rosalyn jordan now joining us live from washington, d.c. just remind us again why washington is implementing these sanctions. >> well, it's very simple with that the obama administration says that it needs to hold russia accountable for invading crimea in the past week. it says that it has to be punished for doing so, and you recall, president barack obama said that there would be costs for russia and now for any ukrainians who have been involved in what they consider the destabilization or attempted destabilization of ukraine. >> is there much congressional support for these measures against russia? >> there seems to be growing support to try to resolve this without the use of the military. however, there's a question of whether or not these sanctions announced just this morning, just on thursday here in washington, will be enough to persuade members of the congress that being unified behind the administration is in fact the way to go. there have been some talk of introducing resolutions with or bills that could actually go towards this, bu

making a comparison certainly but i am recommending that we perhaps can learn from this tactic. >> joining us now from washingtonhe washington post" opinion writer and fox news analyst. i say mrs. clinton's point is historically valid and you say? >> i say her point is also historically valid. i think it's possible to overdo this analogy but on the particular point she was making, it's absolutely correct and, by the way, this referendum that putin is planning for the crimea reminds me a lot of the ones hitler ran in austria after he moved his troops into austria in 1938. >> putin is not an idiot. he know what is hitler did and, you know, a lot of people on the left are just outraged that you are talking about hitler. but what people don't really understand and i think you do, mr. ellayna. you are a student of history. is that what is going on in europe right now directly relates to world war ii. all the boundaries drawn by stalin and fdr. churchill didn't have much to do with it, right? have caused friction ever since the classic bully that hitler was is the same kind of bully that putin is. i don't see a lot of
