Happening. And our money lead today. If there is one shred of evidence that those on board flight 370 are dead, it has not been found. But malaysian officials are talking about issuing death certificates anyway. Will relatives accept that . Good afternoon, everyone. Im jake tapper with the read. What happened to you, russia . Its like the u. S. Cannot even recognize you anymore. It wont. The seizure of during the trip to capital kiev. No nation has the right to simply grab land from another nation. No nation has that right. And we will never recognize russias illegal occupation of crimea and neither will the world. Native americans shaking their heads somewhere. While biden was speaking, the white house puts your money where the mouth is. Offering a package for ukraine which includes nonlethal aid for security forces. Thats diplo speak for no weapons. This comes at a time when Obama Administration is putting stocks in claims that proves Russian Forces are operating in their country. Some of the socalled men in green do look similar to Russian Special forces who invaded the country of georgia in 2008. But cnn has not independently verified the photographs. Russia has scoffed at these claims. Keep in mind it has 40,000 troops perched along the border. Biden warned russia of more sanctions if it doesnt end its, quote, provocative actions. What is the Vice President saying . If they continue to do this, what will we do . No one in american wants boots on the ground. I totally accept that. But to keep telling everyone, dont worry, were not going to have boots on the ground. Can we go one press conference without saying that . The u. S. Has frozen assets on some russian officials and the idea of sanctionsing putin personally is not out of the question though the kremlin said that idea is absurd. And while the u. S. Is not sending weapons to ukraine, its about to show a huge show of force. The pentagon is not trying to hide its motivation here. This is a direct result of what is going on in ukraine right now. Also in ukraine right now, our own Senior International correspondent arwa damon. Explain what the pentagon is planning to do here. Reporter well, they are going to be dispatching a few hundred troops to various countries in the region as part of a training exercise. This is very much a symbolic gesture, jake, also meant to send a warning to russia and when it comes to countries in the region, theres understandably a lot of concern. They do, many of them, have their own russianspeaking population. So this is meant, to a certain degree, alleviate some of their concerns but at the end of the day, this move by the United States is not going to be altering the current dynamics on the ground at this stage, jake. Arwa, you reported on two bodies pulled out of a river from where you are reporting. What can you tell us about that . Reporter these are two bodies pulled out from the river over the weekend, as far as the information that we are getting. Only one of them has been identified so far. That is a body of a local politician who was part of the current acting president s political party. Both bodies were discovered mutilated and very difficult to identify. The family, according to one of the local heads of this morgue going to identify the body. Whatever agreement may have been come to in geneva, its not had much of an impact on the ground. We had that incident that took place. Another incident where three prorussian protesters were killed at a checkpoint. Weve had the takeover of yet another police station. The police chief was taken into custody and detained by the protesters. Theres been no indication whatsoever that the situation is deescalation. In fact, tensions on the ground seem to be increasing. All of this is incredibly concerning. Arwa damon, thank you so much. Please stay safe. In ukraine and meeting with local leaders, joining me live from kiev, congressman, thanks for joining me. Its not just republicans calling for lethal aid, its former Prime Minister that has asked congress to provide weapons to the ukrainian military. Why are we saying no . Well, i think, you know, the more important point, jake, at this point is part of the reason that were here in a bipartisan dell la delegation is to reaffirm the facts on the ground. We met with the acting president and governor in the Eastern Region with Civil Society organizations working here and were at a critical stage. I think the agreement in geneva gives putin an opportunity to back up some and deescalation the situation. I think if he interferes with these elections in any way, well have an opportunity to impose sanctions and consider other options. I think everyone is focused on what we can do to support ukraine, to support the democratic aspirations and deescalate the situation rather than escalate it and theres still an opportunity to deescalate it. I think these opportunities on may 25th are going to be critical. We have to insist that they be free and open and that there not be interference with russia in those elections. Congressman, have you seen any evidence that things are deescalating . All of the evidence we have from our reporters on the ground in Eastern Ukraine is that tensions are only ratcheting up and that the proRussian Forces in Eastern Ukraine who have seized control of very government buildings say that they are not part of anything brokered in geneva. What evidence do you have that what took place in geneva has been successful . Well, first of all, i think we see tremendous evidence of russian propaganda, exaggerating a lot of things under way. What we saw, also, the ukrainian peoples determination. We went to where the revolution began and we went to a city about 250 miles from here. They are doing a lot of work to both build up their military, rebuild their democracy. These are determined people and we have to stand with them. I dont think theres any evidence that its deescalated yet. I think a geneva opportunity has indicated that its time for russia to do what they say they are going to do and i think we need to keep the pressure on and demonstrate that we stand with ukraine as they attempt to protect their democracy. In the hopes that we will persuade putin to back off. If he doesnt back off and continues with aggressive action, we need to be prepared to enact serious sanctions, to impose a serious punishment on him that will rally the National Community to be part of that. But we have to, i think, get through these elections and ensure that, as the president announced today, there are resources so that there are free and fair elections. That will be a turning point for ukraine. They will have an opportunity to move forward. We have to make it clear to putin that this behavior is not acceptable. Congressman, with all due respect, crimea has already been seized. Hasnt that already happened . Theres no question its happened. Now the responsibility we have is to be part of the World Community in responding to that and imposing some punishment. We cannot permit that kind of active aggression, a violation of International Law to go unpunished. The question is, can we impose sanctions and take actions which will impose actions short of military action . I think we have an opportunity to exhaust those things first and attempt to impose serious sanctions on Vladimir Putin and on the Russian Federation and, again, working with nato and the interNational Community, the most dangerous thing for Vladimir Putin is a successful democratic ukraine, a strong ukraine and thats what we have to help accomplish by supporting them in every way that we can. Congressman, arent there Russian Special forces or at least operatives of some sort in Eastern Ukraine right now . I dont think there is any question that there are russian representatives or agents in parts of ukraine. The ukrainian people know that. This is, again, the responsibility of the ukrainian people to stand up for democracy and respond to this and ensure that elections go forth on may 25th and they are building the capacity on the government side to sustain this. Putin is trying to destabilize ukraine and destabilize the eastern part in particular. I think the ukrainian people know that and i think they will continue to respond to it. We have a responsibility to do all that we can. We did a billion dollars in loan guarantees. I think the interNational Community will continue to do their part. But this is a you know, we went to the madon where we saw 125 individuals pictures, memorials of people who gave their life for the Ukrainian Democracy and these are people who are committed to do this and we need to stand with them. Congressman Dave Cicilline in kiev, thank you. The first call of help didnt come from the captain or the crew of the sinking ferry but from a boy, a passenger on the ship. So just what was the crew doing . Plus, with the first underwater search for flight 370 almost complete and still no wreckage found, one Family Member says she wants the investigation to start over from the beginning.

Save us. Someone described as a student called emergency officials asking for help three minutes before the crew called for help. He said the boat was sinking and he was transferred to the coast guard. The number of deaths could rise dramatically because the dive team have reached the cafeteria where many are thought to have been trapped. Kyung lah is live from jindo with the latest on the rescue effort. Kyung . Reporter jake, were actually on the water. Were just outside the exclusion zone where this active search is still going on. Its continued in the overnight hours. Its just the early part of the day here. I want to give you a sense, though, of what were looking at. See these banks of lights behind me . All of this is coming from the boats in this very active search. If you look above, there are flares being dropped from planes to help light up the nights sky. This is something that they are doing so divers know exactly where they are because this is extremely, extremely murky water. The currents are quite good today. This barge that youre looking at is where the sunken ferry is. Its right below that. The search continuing as the investigation picks up steam. Today we learned that the first call for help came not from the captain but from a boy on board. The south Korean Coast Guard tells cnn that call happened a full three minutes before the ships crew made its first distress call. More grim news from the search news as search and rescue divers plunge into the cold, murky water hoping to find survivors nearly a week after the tragedy. The search here is dangerous. Divers swim down more than 100 feet following guide ropes that lead them into the submerged ferry where they can barely see a foot in front of them. The low visibility and debris makes it nearly impossible to find their way around. Authorities say the efforts are still a search and rescue operation but no survivors have been found since 174 people were rescued last week, soon after the ferry went down. Divers entered the ships cafeteria on thursday and continue their focus on the third and fourth levels inside the lounge and cabin areas where they believe many of the students are located. The tough conditions and high body counts are taking a tough toll on divers. Translator the conditions are so bad, my heartaches. We go in thinking there may be survivors. When we have to come back with nothing, we cant even face the families. Reporter meanwhile, two more crew members were arrested on tuesday. Bringing the total of those facing charges to nine. Their heads bowed and covered, they say they tried to reach the lifeboats as the ship was tilting over. Translator but we slipped so we could not do that. Reporter we prostrate ourselves before the victims families. And beg for forgiveness. We beg for forgiveness from the victims families. They are called into white dome sents to identify the remains of their loved ones. Back here at the sea, you can see the flares dropping to the water below trying to help the rescuers as they deal with this very dark water. Jake, you mentioned that theyve reached the cafeteria. The number expected of the missing expected to drop. The death toll expected to rise. And to give you a sense of how scary it is, divers tell us that the way that they are figuring it out, how they find the bodies, is that they are literally using their hands to feel around in the cabins and see if they can feel any dead bodies. Jake . Kyung lah, thank you so much. A horrific story out of south korea. Coming up on the lead, the underwater search for flight 370 is nearly complete.

Theres still a sliver of hope that the bluefin21 will find signs of missing flight 370 under water but that hasnt stopped investigators from looking ahead to plan b. The underwater vehicle is on its tenth mission to find the black boxes or any other wreckage but its running out of places to look. And in the event that nothing is found, once the entire area is searched, australian and malaysian officials want to have the next steps already in place. Pamela, does this mean that they will have to go back to the drawing board . I dont think they have to start all over but they need to consider widening the search efforts. The bluefin21 is almost done searching here. The underwater sixmile radius zone, considered the most likely area where the plane went down. If they were thinking, if you remember, that this was the bullseye that they were going to throw the one dart of the bluefin into the bullseye, i think its about time to expand that area. Reporter crews could finish searching that zone in the next day. If nothing is found, investigators will regroup but its not necessarily back to square one. We only have a specific amount of data, a certain amount of date that that has led us to this part of the world. I think we have to be encouraged that weve been led to this very specific and small part of the indian ocean. Reporter the bluefin has only searched around the second ping which was thought to be the most likely area. Now malaysian and australian officials are working out an agreement for what comes next. It includes what happens to any debris when it is found, how human remains will be treated and the under the sea search. Perhaps to include more pings or change techniques, like using a towed underwater vehicle that could cover a larger area. But the passengers families arent convinced that experts are doing everything that they should. Well, well keep going back to wanting to start over with the investigation. What they are doing now, searching in the ocean, is like continuing to wanting to bail out a boat when the hole in the boat hasnt even been found yet. Reporter meanwhile, searchers continue to search for the wreckage and the planes were delayed today due to a tropical cyclone. Its the second time that a storm has gone through this area since the plane went missing. In beijing, families of passengers on the plane were disappointed for a second day in a row. It comes after a briefing where technical experts did not arrive. Theres nothing much i can tell you. Meanwhile, the head of the investigations next of kin committee is heading to beijing to meet with chinese officials and families and says he has to talk to them before announcing any action plans. Of course, well be eagerly awaiting that. Jake . Pamela, in terms of your Justice Department sources, what are they telling you . Anything turned up on the computer or Flight Simulator . Are they helping with the investigation in malaysia . They are helping with the investigation in malaysia. There hasnt been a formal request by malaysians to bring in an fbi team but there have been agents helping there since day one. They have been in the command post and are going through the hard drives still looking at the simulator. But my sources are telling me, jake, theres nothing big jumping at them that would implicate them. They are following up on leads. There were routes in there that the plane usually didnt travel. Theres nothing that jumps out that says, this makes sense, implicating them. This investigation is ongoing. But as of now, they are not ruling anything in or out and are just waiting eagerly for the black box. Very frustrating. Yes. Pamela brown, thank you so much. With the bluefin21 area nearly now complete, is it time to ask if searchers have been searching in the wrong place this whole time . Rob mccallum and mary schiavo are joining me. Rob, the bluefin21 is expected to complete its search in the next few days. I dont know how to take this news. Is it that theres a third left to search and, good news, were going to find it there in the onethird that is left or is it, boy, they are almost done and they are coming up snake eyes, maybe this was the wrong place the whole time . Well t. Could be the wrong place altogether but we dont know that yet and we have to allow them to search the last 30 before we can make any sort of definitive decision on that. But it is becoming clear that the area is going to have to widen and its going to have to widen to include all of the pinger locations or places where pingers were thought to be heard and then back along the arc of the aircraft track heading northward. Was there too much optimism that the pings came from the black boxes . Well, i think just the length of time that they have searched and not found anything would naturally put doubt on things but with the pingers, theres so much practically about it that it has to be the planes. There are not pingers there for any other purpose. Some people were saying it could be animal tracking devices. Thats not what they have and oceanographer or fishing equipment. Its not the same. Besides, the batteries would have been dead. So i think the pinger is likely its very likely that its from the plane and that they are searching in the right place but theres a lot of questions. For example, they said the ocean plays trick on sound and that sound is very unusual in the ocean. Theres a particular layer of the ocean where it can travel long distances. Maybe before they widen the search they need to experiment. Put a pinger under the ocean and find out how far a good strong one will travel. Find out if it degrades to 33. 5 if the battery dies down and do scientific, oldfashion testing. Rob, you and i have talked about whether the bluefin is the right equipment to be searching at these depths because it only goes so deep. Is there a chance that the bluefin could have missed something in the scans of these areas . Yeah, its possible. You know, the bluefin is operated by a pretty good team but its a technical tool. Its used for pinpoint searching in a relatively confined space. So whenever youre using sonar under water, theres a chance that you will miss something. The good news is that the diver that is collected by the blue fine is available on a hard drive and can be reanalyzed by a fresh set of eyes. If they missed it on the first analysis, it would pay to get somebody to look at the data and see what is being missed. Mary, the families are very frustrated by the lack of information being presented at these briefings. Youve represented families like these in your other life. What are the airlines and governments obligated to provide, do you think . Well, under International Law they are obligated to provide them compensation. They are obligated to keep them advise. They are obligated to help them get to the accident site, to give them information, to help them with memorials, et cetera. But in terms of hard specifics and how often they get briefed, no. Were used to a different set of laws that are enacted that only requires the United States and that requires very frequent briefings. It requires transparency with the ntsb with the families. So were used to a different standard. However, that being said, the malaysians have been particularly egregious. Anyone that works with families knows once you schedule something and tell them that youre coming to tell them something and you cancel that or you dont show, its one of the worst things you could possibly do because they hope for and just latch on to the promise that they are going to be provided some information, something, because thats all they have to hang on to. Those were serious, serious mistakes and i think it might have put the ability of the malaysians to complete the investigation in jeopardy. They just wont be trusted. Rob mccallum, mary schiavo, thank you so much. When we come back, the malaysian officials discuss issuing death certificates so Family Members can receive assistance. But will the Family Members accept the finality of it without any sign of the plane . [ grunting ] im taking off, but, uh, dont worry. Im gonna leave the tv on for you. And if anything happens, dont forget about the new xfinity my account app. You can troubleshoot technical issues here. If you make an appointment, you can check out the status here.

Introducing the xfinity my account app. Welcome back to the lead. Time for the money lead. For the families of flight 370s passengers, its been long and painful but according to sarah bajac, some have gotten phone calls that they wish would stop. The perception within the family group, nobody is interested in compensation lawsuits and were really quite sick of being hassled by attorneys trying to get us to sign on for millions of dollars. Thats got to stop. As weve seen in the countless videos, the situation has taken its toll emotionally but crudely it also has a financial cost. Now that a u. S. Time limit that lawyers can contact Family Members has passed, will families take more action . Richard quest is in kuala lumpur. Help me understand what insurance Family Members will need to be able to file insurance claims and lawsuits. Reporter here in malaysia they have announced in the last few days that death certificates will not be needed or required if families wish to proceed with Life Insurance claims because obviously its quite difficult, since theres no body and no presumption of death, how can you have a death certificate but theres a recognition, a reality that people do need to file claims. So individual countries will have individual rules and regulations that will allow them from the Insurance Point of view to file their claims. Now, from the compensation point of view, thats, of ucourse, governed by the international convention. We can expect further interim payments to be made under the article 28. Richard, if they want to sue, who can they sue . Just the airline . Can they sue the government . Reporter no. No. First of all, its jurisdictions. You sue the airline. So you sue the airline and in this case it will be malaysia airlines. If you can prove that the plane, the 777 was at fault, you would sue boeing and that would put in the United States. But at the moment with no plane and with no report and no findings of a findings of facts, youre at a loss as to who to sue. Ultimately, the Montreal Convention gives you 150,000 of u. S. Dollars under strict liability and the airline has to prove that they did nothing wrong or somebody else did something wrong. But without the plane, then the Montreal Convention is there. Thats the only bit youve got. The lawyers have already been seeking clients, jake. The u. S. 45day limit seems to have been ignored by one particular firm in the United States. Others can now be expected to seek clients. But heres the point. Youre not suing at the moment in the u. S. Unless you can get boeing into the action. And you cant get boeing into the action until you can prove, which you cant at the moment, the 777 is at fault. Richard quest in kuala lumpur, thank you very much. And now to the buried lead. Well take you to the ends of the earth. Some unbelievable images for you. And in national news, the consoler in chief. President obama meets with families after the washington landslide struck.

The court up held a michigan law that bans affirmative action laws. It was approved by michigan voters in 2006 but was later overturned by the court of appeals and that lower court overstepped its bounds by reversing a policy approved by voters. That clears the way for other states to try and adopt similar bands on affirm ative action. Sonia sotomayor said it will lead to a decline in minority enrollment in michigan schools but in his ruling, Justice Kennedy said the case was not so much about the debate over racial preferences should be resolved but who should resolve them. And now a milestone just before earth day. Its not the kind of milestone environmentalists were hoping for. The combination of Carbon Dioxide has been consistently above 400 parts per million for the last month. Its a higher rate of co 2 than earth has seen in millions of years, according to the oceanic administration. Take a look at this. For almost a decade, the celebrated photographer James Baylock has been bringing us evidence of Global Warming from the north pole. His evidence was the subject of chasing ice. There is more time lapsed video from the soul pole, in the southern hemisphere. I recently had a chance to talk to him and asked him about the goals of his new mission to the bottom of the world. Weve been working for eight years looking at glacial changes, glaciers receding as a result of Climate Change and were expanding our evidence. Weve seen glaciers and ice sheets disappearing at an astonishing rate. I never imagined that wed see change this radical in such a short period of time. But weve seen these big tons of ice breaking back or melting off and changing the glacial dynamics of this landscape until recently people thought were big monolithic blobs. How do you convince skeptics that something has to change . Many years ago i have to admit that i was one of those who thought about the belief and ideology more than evidence. I thought it was simply impossible that humans could change the basic physics of this gigantic planet of ours and once i started to understand the evidence, particularly that which is in the glaciers of course, Climate Change is real. Its right now. And youre convinced that this is mainly due to man and changes that humans are making to the environment and the atmosphere . Yes. Based on the evidence, i think weve got a natural change that is being exaggerated and made more intense by human activity, the burning of fossil fuels, dumping the waste of our combustion into the atmosphere. Youre witnessing some of the most beautiful scenes i have ever seen captured on film and yet it must feel somewhat hopeless at the same time. Are you inspired . Do you feel defeated . Yeah, i actually find it inspiring. I take inspiration from these fantastic landscapes. I take inspiration from the opportunity that through our cameras we can be a voice for these landscapes. Look, Climate Change didnt happen overnight. Its happened over decades and centuries, tailpipe by tailpipe. And its going to be corrected over decades and centuries. We shunned be naive and childish and think that theres a shortterm fix and incentive for every possible change right away. But its something that can be dealt with and i find it fascinating to be here at this moment in history being part of this whole story. James balog, thank you so much. Stay warm. Thank you.

In national news, president obama is making his way out of the country for an asian trip leading on a somber note with a stopover in Washington State right now to view the destruction from a massive slide. Today marks a month since the landslide. 41 people are dead, two people still missing. The president is meeting with relatives of the victims and with rescue crews. Our own ana cabrera is standing by for us. Reporter jake, its just an overwhelming amount of devastation when you look at this landslide area. We got word the president just finished his aerial tour and is now off to meet with the families. Hes definitely not seeing only slow, methodical progress but really the Community United by tragedy. We see signs like this and yellow ribbons throughout the surrounding communities as they are there to support those affected by this horrific disaster is this the last zone to be search . No. Reporter its been one month since the landslide occurred in oso, washington. What was here before the landslide . Sparse houses, trees. Reporter we walked along what was once a highway. This is progress. Were standing under at least ten feet of water. Reporter water and mud still creating the biggest challenge. I was told that water was above my head when the landslide first hit. They had to create a water channel with pumps able to move the water out of this area just to give search crews access to work here. Special machinery like this excavator just arrived.
