try to figure out whether or not it is what their current theory is, their operating theory is this person perhaps spent some time in north america, perhaps here in america, whether he lives here or just visited or spent some time in school, something like that, is what they re looking for. this is hats off to adam goldman at the washington post who made public the name of this killer, jihadi john as we ve known him for some time. because it is something they spent a lot of time the fbi spent a lot of time interviewing people who were set free, former captives of isis. they were able to develop quite a bit of intelligence, including some that went into that rescue attempt which failed ultimately to try to rescue these hostages. they hoped that emwazi was at that site where they conducted a military raid. he was not. it gets to kind of would be of the concerns and one of the challenges going ahead when you don t have strong intelligence on the ground in places like
time. my pledge to all the families is the same. we will do everything in our power it to keep you informed. we have teams of reporters covering every angle of the global hunt for flight 370. in malaysia, beijing, perth, austral australia. we want to get you the latest from the ground from perth, australia. sunday morning there, not quite light, three hours from daylight and the start of sunday s search. one question for you, and this is the key. you had the satellite picture showing a big piece, similar size. now a chinese satellite data, similar-sized piece 75 miles away. is the operating theory there that these are the same object? is that a possibility they are considering? reporter: certainly it s a possibility. it s certainly something the search crews are going to keep in mind as they head to that area. it was in the search area that the planes were in yesterday, jim, as they were scouring over
investigators believe it s possible it could have landed somewhere in that interval. very unlikely to land and take off again. so the best operating theory currently is that it was flying for those five hours. where it was flying, it s not clear. some of these transmissions to the satellites did give a location and altitude and speed. so they re trying to piece all of that together, but i think we have to believe that the most likely scenario is somewhere it went into the water. but they re keeping open the possibility that it did land somewhere. that can t be ruled out from what we know currently. bob, in terms of the investigation, not that the investigation into passengers or crew members or anybody on board that flight really has stopped, i was surprised to learn they haven t searched the home of the pilot. i m not casting any aspersions on anybody, but if you are looking at personnel, that would
the satellite company that received these transmissions, the plane was intact and presumably flying for five hours. investigators believe it s possible it could have landed somewhere in that interval. very unlikely to land and take off again. you have to find a runway that s long enough to take off. so i think the best operating theory currently is that it was flying for those five hours. where it was flying is not clear. some of these transmissions to the satellites did give location and altitude and speed. so they re trying to piece all of that together. but i think we have to believe that the most likely scenario is that somewhere it went into the water. but they re keeping open the possibility that it did land somewhere. that can t be ruled out from what we know currently. and bob bear in terms of tth investigation not the investigation into passengers or crew members or anybody on board the flight has stopped, i was surprised to learn they haven t
a lot of republicans wouldn t get that in the deal. with that in mind, you look at the time line as well, what options does speaker boehner have? that is probably the greatest pressure point in washington right now. the senate says it s close to a deal. senate democrats will meet this morning. let s see if by lunch time we have a deal instead of talk of a deal. let s assume the senate has a deal, then we are right up against or past that debt ceiling deadline. if there s a deal on paper, everyone thinks the markets will give it a few days. the question is does speaker boehner bring it to the floor? the operating theory in washington is that you have would no choice, only if he knew 20 or 30 or 40 of the house republicans would vote yes. they d have no choice because of the political and economic pressure. that s the current thinking in washington. the thinking in washington about what should happen, that has often been wrong in recent days. what should happen and what
