do they have responsibility to do so? we ve heard facebook has been shut down to some degree in russia. elon musk has been involved. getting satellite connections to the ukrainians. how can we get the russian public to turn against vladimir putin and see what s really going on. no doubt there s people working on it. bret: the brakes are doing shortwave radio. haven t done it since world war ii but that is the only way they think they re going to get information russia because everything is shut off. shannon: gets to that point of russian soldiers, people showing up astounded they are not being welcomed as liberators. who knows how widespread that is if accurate. bret: some of those stories about, wait, what are we doing question right that s the message, especially the convoy. you heard in the panel earlier.
that. when you talk about internet access, by the way, there was a feeling a couple years ago things were opening up in cuba. that seems to have now closed back down. how much access do cubans have to the outside in it s interesting. it s a twofold answer. there are hot spots cropping up all over the island. years ago when i was there that never existed. the cubans who are really inventive in different ways have created their own internet. they ve strung together dishes and have intra-net. everything you can download off google not everything, but a lot of it has been downloaded on hard drives in miami, and set up on the island through intra-net. now gaining satellite connections as well. it serves as a hodgepodge of satellite dishes and thumb drives that cubans have gotten online. they just might be a day or two behind. david, great to see you. thank you for joining us. david is the author of the upcoming book, this is kuehcuba
just the fun details on the train. there s a lot you don t know. i read this is so slow because it s bullet proof. this train from what we know, it is extremely lavish. it has all kinds of satellite connections. it goes across one bridge, it is very old, right on the border. trains roll across it a couple times every day but this is a specific train. a couple dozen cars. we know from russian diplomats that have ridden on it in the past that there s lavish feast that s are given. all kinds of weight staff and it is armored. so that train trip, we ve taken it. it takes several hours to get down to the border area in beijing. why he chooses to do that? i m not sure. he could get on a plane maybe. but maybe north koreans say this is safest way to travel. it is and worth pointing out, this is first time kim jong-un
satellite data believe that the theories and communications with the satellite connections with the aircraft are correct but we have to put it in perspective. tens and thousands of square miles to be searched and, in fact, the australians are going to ask forbids along this arc that they mentioned but only 25 miles on each side of the arc so even where they think the plane may have gone down based on previous accidents, especially the air france 2009 crash. then chances are that nobody will ever find that aircraft and so the margin for error is very small. the areas are huge and it s worrisome to many people who look at it, that some of the basic assumptions still appear to be up in the air. very much up in the air. thanks very much. when we come back, the nba commissioner dona
the single bluefin-21 sonar scanner has now covered about 95% of the area the investigators have called the most likely possible resting place for the boeing triple 7. when it is done we re just learning where the next focus position may be. remember, bluefins have been on more than a dozen missions. it has yet to find anything. we have yet to see anything, not one single image from the robot sub. and flight 370 took off with 390 people on board. several satellite connections and a handful of possible sonar pings, there were no signs of the airliner. the answers will come. this is for now the longest running aviation mystery of our time. tonight, we ll look at some of the new approaches that investigators may find. first, miguel marquez in perth, australia. the bluefin has nearly completed the first phase of the entire area, focused around the
