We have not done anything that could jeopardize the search effort. The german chancellor Angela Merkel warns of catastrophic consequences. Nations divided on how to deal with the drugs issues. Hello, everyone. Day 6 for the seven of the missing malaysian jet is deepening. Still no reliable clues why it disappeared en route from kuala lumpur to beijing. In the words of the transport minister in the last couple hours, the plane has vanished. Satellite released satellite images. Here is one from last sunday which could have been can debris. Malaysia says they were put out by mistake and are inaccurate. The wall street journal suggested the plane may have flown for up to four hours after its last contact at 1 30 last sunday morning. Officials said the usual transmissions which happened in packets over a period stopped at 1 07 last saturday morning. So they have no secret engine data on what happened next. Well, responding to suggestions it may not have been carried out they had a service on the 23rd of february. The airlines said as well that Police Issued a statement saying they have not visited the homes of the crew of the aircraft. Lets listen to the Opening Statement from the trpgdz minister. They suggest the aircraft may have continued flying after the contact. Those reports are inaccurate. The last transmission from the aircraft was 0107, which indicated everything was normal. Rollsroyce and boeing are here and have worked with with the Investigations Team since sunday. Whenever there are new details they must be corroborated. As far as rollsroyce and boeing are concerned, those reports are inaccurate. On chinese satellite image, the surveillance plane was dispatched this morning to investigate potential debray shown on chinese satellite images. We deployed our assets but found nothing. We have contacted the chinese em and told they were released by mistake. The aircraft had been fully serviced and fit to fly according to engineering and maintenance records. So, clear responses to many of the suggestions being put out about what might have happened. Lets go to jennifer pak who joins me from kuala lumpur. After a chaotic press briefing with allegations in heated language, what about your impression from today. Certainly there wasnt any new information. There is frustration building up here that officials are not giving all the information they have on hand. You have already mentioned they have denied the jet engine that the jet itself had been flying for thundershowers going undetected somehow. But more damaging is the actual hope of finding debris didnt turn up anything. And they sent out the image by mistake. They didnt give any further phrapbgz. They did say, however, it is not connected to flight 370. Were no closer to finding any information as to what happened to the passengers of the 239 people on board. Authorities still have no idea which part of the sea they should be looking at. Its very clear from the transportation minister said. He said the plane has vanished. Then he said several types, trust me. In other words, trying to say we dont have any other information which were not sharing with you. Yes. They have been holding back a lot of criticism. It may be a language issue. Or conflicting statements from different officials. For a while they were they are searching in a stretch of sea between malaysia and vietnam in the South China Sea. Then later military records indicate the plane may have turned back. Or that it so far west it went into the strait of malacca. They have not tracked the plane out there yet. They have an idea where it is. Theyre just not willing to reveal it publicly. In normal circumstances in malaysia would be the end of the story. The government here is used to controlling the message. The traditional media is linked directly or incorrectly to the government coalition. And that would be the end of that. But in this case you have passengers from 14 different nations. You have the International Media all pressing for answers. Fortunately, malaysian officials are finding themselves being under fire for not being able to give the answers they need at this point, which must be heart wrenching for the families. Jennifer, thank you very much indeed. Jennifer pak from kuala lumpur airport. No one hosni more information than the plane has vanished. Angela merkel warned of catastrophic consequences unless russia changes course over crimea. Mrs. Merkel said if russia refused to change course, eu leaders were ready to take measures with serious economic impact. Translator if russia continues on its pursuit the next few weeks it wouldnt just be a catastrophe for ukraine. As neighbors of russia, we would also see it as a threat. This wouldnt just change the entire relationship but im convinced it will harm russia massively, economically as well as politically. Well, lets go to our lynn correspondent steve evans. Steve, those efforts, catastrophic consequences and a threat. This is tough language. It is tough language. Were not quite clear what that means. The first thing she said was there will be no military action. So we should say that. She implied there would be a gradual stepbystep increase on the pressure. The first would be to halt trade. Movement between the eu and russia. And then she said there would be insurance economically very painful for russia if that cause that president putin set upon isnt reversed. She didnt use the word sanctions and she didnt specify what the measures might be. It is tough language. She is basically saying you cant have business as normal if you go on in this way. She said hes living in the world of the cold war and times have moved on. Its not the way we do things now. As she put it, you cant turn the clock back. Tough talk but no specific measures and ruling out military action. Steve, this has come three days before the sudden referendum in crimea essentially on the question would you like crimea to now be part of the russian federation. Do you think theres a mood by the chancellor herself and also within the german politically class that theres anything that this kind of warning can do to modify or calm down the russian intentions on crimea . No. The feeling is mr. Putin is mr. Putin. Of course they know president putin because he used to be agent putin of the kgb stationed in dresden. Angela merkel has an interesting relationship with him. She talks to him more than any other global leader. Pretty well every other day or more. They are old adversaries who understand each other. Shes also, it should be said, listening to voices within germany who say our economies are entwined. Lets not be too hasty about sanctions. So shes trying to weigh knowledge, if you like, of president putin. The polish voice being a lot tougher. But business voices within this country saying just go easy. Steve 6evans live from berli. Death sentences for the fatality gang rape of a 23yearold student in december 2012. The court said that the crime falls into a rare category that allows capital punishment.

It wants change but can it. New figures out today indicate that the output, all the stuff that they spin out, rose 8. 6 in january and february. Thats a good sign. But the figures were less than the experts had been expecting. It adds to further fears on of a china slow down. The National Peoples congress closes. China plans to stay on track and expand by 7. 5 . Its the highest among the major powers. Up to 30 years of double digit growth that lifted millions out of economy, it want to change tech and rebalance its economy. Heres an interesting one. Kind of related to china. The Japanese Electronics firm panasonic says it will pay employees working in china a premium to compensate them for the countrys high pollution. Of course we know. Look at that picture there. Unrelenting smog has been an yon going problem in many chinese cities. As early as last month, pollution showed 15 times the daily maximum recommended by the world health organization. Unemployment down under. Yes, unemployment in australia remains at a 10year high of 6 . All of this as the mining boom continues to unwind. But there was an unexpected note in the lastest employment jobs. Full time employment went up by 80,500 in february. It adds to, well, this is a problem. It adds to a Bigger Picture for australia. We are talking about an economy in its 23rd year of expansion. House prices are rising. Tell me about that one. The the economy is stuck in low gear. More coming up on gmt. Tweet me. Ill tweet you back. bbcaaron. From one aussie to somebody who loves australia. I go there almost as much as you. Thanks, aaron. Pope francis celebrates first year as head of the catholic church.

German chancellor Angela Merkel warped of catastrophic consequences if they deny their path on crimea. Day nine of the trial of Oscar Pistorius for the murder of his girlfriend reeva steenkamp. They are back on the witness stand the. Yesterday disputed the athletes evidence that he had been on his prosthetic legs when he knocked down a bathroom door to reach dying reeva. He denies intentionally killing his girlfriend. Reporter very much so, nik. What he has been at pains to explain to Oscar Pistoriuss senior counsel, as far as hes concerned, mr. Pistorius was not wearing his prosthesis when he was at the bathroom door. This morning throughout the arguments here we have been listening that some of the marks were caused by mr. Pistoriuss prosthesis. But the prosecution said they have punched hold in the process in which police collect their evidence. There is a short adjournment now. Both yesterday and today, milton, its the issue once again of the credibility of South Africa Police processes. Reporter very much so. And the issue of gender violence in south africa.

Eusz raily military planes bombarded the gaza strip. 29 sites were targeted. One strike caused power cuts across gaza city. Lease in hong kong arrested two suspects, including a 37yearold woman, for a knife attack on a journalist. Police say the attack had nothing to do with his journalistic work. But mr. Lao, who is recovering in hospital, disagrees. Well, can an end to the socalled war on drugs now be e declar declared . There is a growing spat between nations which regard them as a health issue and those which enforce very strict penalties for users, dealers, and supplies. Reporter pot, dope, weed or grass, cannabis comes in many names and forms. Until recently, its been illegal around the world. In december uruguay became the first country to legalize it. And so did the u. S. State of colorado in january. In the first month alone it collected 2 million in taxes from marijuana businesses. Colombian president is prepared to go even further suggesting a global debate about legalizing cocaine. But other countries are keen to condition harsh punishments. And sanderford has been sentenced to death for allegedly smuggling cocaine to bali. The term the war on drugs was first famously used by this man, u. S. President Richard Nixon in 1971 but decades later, the number of drug users continues to grow. According to the united nations, drug abuse kills more than 200,000 worldwide each year. Drug trafficking is a lucrative industry for criminals, worth 320 billion. That means if the global drug trade were a country it will be one of the biggest economies in the world. But the world seems split on how to tackle the problem. In the meeting some vienna may highlight more differences in opinions than agreements. Well, one year ago this was the scene. Thats after his surprise election as pontiff. Pope francis is not marking the anniversary in any way. In fact, hes on a spiritual retreat. We thought we would highlight how he raised a few eyebrows in the last 12 months. One year ago in rome he got his first look at the pope and certainly changed the image of the pontiff. He has worn a fire helmet, held a lamb, takes selfies. And of course he twice to twitterverse. A Research Found threequarters of catholics think he represents a major change. Most clicks in the u. S. Like the way things are going overall. But only a slim majority think pop francis is doing a good job addressing sexual abuse in the search. And that was one of their Top Priorities for the pontiff a year ago. Meanwhile, pew Research Found interesting stuff on twitter. They analyze tweets about both pope francis and Pope Benedict when he was still pontiff. 84 of frances tweets were positived, compared to 30 of benedict tweets. Francis certainly made an impression, getting comparisons to superman. His critiques of capitalism left many fuming. They wonder if he is treated too much like a celebrity. The idea that this popular pope has attracted more people to the click church. Pew Research Found there isnt really any evidence of this among americans. However, a quarter of people already in the church say they have become more excited by their faith in the past year. Let me give you the latest on the missing Malaysian Airliner. In the words of the transportation minister, the plane has vanished. Malaysia saying satellite images showing debris in the South China Sea did not show debris. They were released by mistake by china.

Our top story. The mystery of the missing Malaysian Airliner deepens again. After claims these chinese satellite images might show the planes wreckage, they might be inaccurate. A new theory that the plane may have flown four hours after its last known contact. Thats also rejected by the authorities who have been defending their role. Our focus has been on finding the aircraft. We have not done the anything to jeopardize the search effort. Angela merkel warns of catastrophic consequences. Harsh punishments or a Health Problem . The nation is divided how to tackle drugs now. Hello, everyone. Day six of the search for the missing passenger jet. Still no reliable clues why it disappeared last saturday en route from kuala lumpur to beiji beijing. China released satellite images. Heres one from last sunday which could have been debris. Malaysia says these images were put out by mistake. They are inaccurate. The plane may have flown up to four hours after its last contact at 1 30 last sunday morning. Officials said the engine transmissions stopped. Four hours. Thats the length of time it was believed that the engines could have been functioning for if Something Else had taken place. But look at the time here. 1 07 last saturday morning. So they have no secret engine date after that time confirmed by Malaysian Airline systems on what happened next. Responding to suggestions that maintenance had not been correctly carried out, which might have led to a fuselage disintegration, the airline said they had a service on the 23rd of february, less than two weeks ago. The airlines said police have not visited the homes of the crew. Well, lets hear the Opening Statement from the transportation minister. I would like to defer from suggesting that the aircraft may have been flying for some time after the last contact. Those reports are inaccurate. The last transmission from the aircraft was 0107, which indicated everything was normal. Rollsroyce and boeing are here and have worked with with the Investigations Team since sunday. Whenever there are new details they must be corroborated. As far as rollsroyce and boeing are concerned, those reports are inaccurate. On chinese satellite image, the surveillance plane was dispatched this morning to investigate potential debris shown on chinese satellite images. We deployed our assets but found nothing.

The bbcs jennifer pak is at the airport at kuala lumpur. Il uer ttffls arging the inatthav h yo already mentioned that they have deny theed the jet that the jet itself had been flying for hours going undetected somehow. More damaging is the actual home of finding debris today didnt turn up anything. And bizarrely, the Chinese Embassy has said they sent out the images by mistake of the three objects that were supposed to be found floating a day after the plane disappeared. They said the images were sent out by mistake but did not give further information. It is not connected to flight 370. At this point were still no closer to finding any answer as to what happened to the flight and the passengers, 239 people on board. And at this point in time, authorities still have no idea which part of the sea they should be looking at. Its very clear from what the transportation minister said. He said the plane has vanished. Then he said several times, trust me. Trying to say we dont have any other information were not sharing with you. They have been under criticism for holding back information. Part of it may be a translation issue. There may be some conflicting and confusing statements coming from different officials. For example, for i while they were searching in the South China Sea. Perhaps it veered so far west it went into the straits of malacca. They do have an idea where the flight path is, theyre just not quite willing to reveal publicly just yet until they can confirm it, which seems to indicate they have a lot more information theyre not sharing yet, which under normal circumstances in malaysia would be it. You have the International Media all pressing for answers. Unfortunately, malaysian officials are finding themselves being under fire for not being able to give answers, which must be heart wrenching there. Angela merkel has warned of catastrophic consequences unless russia changes course over crimea. She said if russia refuses to change course, europeans are ready to take measures with serious economic impact. Translator if russia continues on its pursuit the next few weeks it wouldnt just be a catastrophe for ukraine. As neighbors of russia, we would also see it as a threat. This wouldnt just change the entire relationship but im convinced it will harm russia massively, economically as well as politically. Catastrophic consequences and a threat. This is tough language. The first thing she said was there will be no military action. She implied there would be a gradual stepbystep increase on the pressure. The first would be to halt negotiations on trade and the movement of people between the eu and russia. And then she said there would be insurance economically very painful for russia if that cause that president putin set upon isnt reversed. She didnt use the word sanctions and she didnt specify what the measures might be. It is tough language. She is basically saying you cant have business as normal if you go on in this way.

Tough talk but no specific measures and ruling out military action. Steve, this has come three days before the sudden referendum in crimea essentially on the question would you like crimea to now be part of the russian federation. There is a spin between those who call it as health issues, dealers and supplies. Bethany bell is in vienna for us. Is there any clarity as to which way this consensus is likely to develop in the coming hours on criminality or whether this is just a health issue . Well, i think this is they say there will be a statement that all the countries will sign up to, which campaigners for reforms means the statement will be quite weak in terms of their demands for more of an impact away from the approach of a war against drugs. We have heard from the Conference Today from the head of the you knows office on drugs and crime saying whats need is a balanced approach, trying to balance the needs against the questions of criminal justice. But there are, as you say increases decisions as to the best way to do this. The Death Penalty placed. Uruguay on the other extreme voted to release cannabis. Is there a clear recommendation from the doctors, the medics, if you like, and also from the crime organizations, the anticrime organizations around the world. Is there a consensus on that side as well . Consensus is interesting increaselily difficult. You need more Harm Reduction when it comes to drug problems. Other doctors will say the reason we dont see as many is that the Drug Convention could have worked. So there are very, very big differences here. This is a debate which is not going to be finished in vienna. It is something that will continue. Thanks, bethany bell in vien that. The Delhi High Court convicted the death sentence for rape.

A spokesman said 29 sites were targeted. One cause power strikes across gaza. The palestinian president was called on israel to end what he described as military escalation. I asked if this is a return to the conflict of 2012. Muhammad, what has provoked oren couraged hamas to fire those rockets into israel . These rockets were fired by the the Islamic Jihad group, which is not hamas but thought to be controlled by ma has as hamas controls all the gaza strip. The israeli navy intercepted a ship carrying rockets which the israelis say were just for Islamic Jihad. From iran . Which iran denies. And since the military takeover in egypt, egypt put ma has under great pressure, demolishing 1,300 and has declared hem as a terrorist organization. It could be escalating the the front this could relieve the pressure from hamass point of view. So really the rockets were fired for political reasons, not necessarily reasons to do with israel on this occasion . It is the back ground of the tensions between egypt and even syria to be a factor in this. So are they trying to make a point to their power not having been eroded or eclipsed . Well, they are thought to have longer range missiles. Thank you very much indeed. Stay with us here on bbc world news.
