cuba's importation of new cars, the first in decades but who can afford it? >> tonight the crème linl has tightened its hold on crimea. in the crimean port of sevastopol. no shots were fired, and soldiers and sailors were told to leave. pullining soldiers out of crimea in what amounts to a surrender, after russia has annexed the region. planning military ca exercises with, jennifer glasse is there. jennifer. >> john, a difficult day for ukraine's military. they have been blockaded with their ships. they thought their commanders had a truce negotiated at least unless friday but the that changes here in simferopol. today the headquarters of the ukrainian navy here. ukrainian sailors leaving their base. go home, say the people, this is now russia. this base now belongs to moscow. prorussian soldiers tearing down everything associated with ukraine. we had to go in, we were afraid they were going to give out guns and god fosht someon forbid ande would start shooting. they were given an order to shoot. ukrainian forces were given permission to fire in self-defense after a a ukrainian officer, be told him they just ran out of patience. >> they came and said it's over, putin has declared this russian territory and that's it. go away. i say we shouldn't do it like this, like civilized people, the way the military were be withdrawn from afghanistan, for example. >> reporter: russian soldiers weafsed no time -- wasted no time consolidating their positions. the commander of the black sea fleet, tried but failed to find his counterpart for some kind of talk. we don't know where they're going, haven't wanted to talk to us. where are you headed, i just asked them, we're headed to freedom. >> taking over the base was a collaborative effort, civilians in and out of uniform sharing a pro-russian agenda. >> black sea commander, somewhere in the building, now it's over, they've taken him out in a car and motion of these guys are leaving. they demand we leave too. we had wanted to speak to the russian commander. no one would tell us who or where he is. they stop us at the gate. it is still not clear who is in charge here but amid the chaos, it's clear that russia is taking over. as a result of the assault on that base, withdrawing all the military forces here in crimea and their families, that is a big blow john because the ukrainian military was basically the last vestige of ukrainian power and any sort of authority that ukraine had in crimea. >> another dramatic day, jennifer, thanks very much. and with diplomacy going nowhe nowhere, it's turning to the united nations, our john terret is here with more on that. john. >> john, goo good evening, a lof people outside ask what it's for. and now people inside wonder what it's for, resolution after resolution, since november, and yet the russians just rode rode roughshod over the resolutions. today the french delegation called the meeting for 3:00 eastern time, the idea it was an open session, everybody could have their say and the french wanted to keep up the pressure at this highest of high diplomatic levels on president putin and moscow. john. >> so the u.n. secretary-general is in russia now. what is he attempting to do? >> he flew there tonight and going to be speaking to president putin and sergey lavrov, and then on friday he'll spend some time in ukraine meeting with the interim president and the interim priessmentprimeminister and alsg delegations on the ground. in light of what mr. putin said yesterday, it is not immediately clear what being ban you ki-moon caki-moon cando. when he travels he speaks for these countries. we'll have to wait and see. today in new york we saw a ratcheting up of the rhetoric alike we have not before. the russianing representative, vitaly cherkin, had this to say: >> numerous fundamental international documents namely the right to self-determination. >> now, samantha power is the u.s. ambassador to the be united nations, after listening to that she said cherkin had more manipulation than either tolstoy or chekov. human rights not before when it was part of ukraine. >> this crisis was never about protecting the rights of ethnic russian he and was always about one country's ambition to redraw its own borders. >> and as a response to that, vitaly cherkin the russian ambassador said he was suspending cooperation in other areas if the insults didn't stop. no one was quite sure what the insults were. he said he was looking for an apology from the u.s. ambassador. john. >> john terret, thank you. others in the region are bracing for consequence of this. georgia is one of the russian states, in 2008 it was in its own tea territorial dispute with russia. could discredit the nuclear disarmament process. former georgia manyn ambassador to the u.s., rl yasvili, ambassador, welcome. >> hello john. >> what is your sense of what could happen next? what diplomatic action do you think the united states needs to take going forward? >> three crises, the crisis of international systems, the cries he of international organizations and definitely are facing a crisis of diplomacy. none of these talks revealed any results unless we are going omove from reactions to actions. >> sanction he aren't enough? >> sanctions, i think it's a part of the equation, and also, it depends ton kind of sanctions, sanctions on 20 officials and six of them being ukrainian is not going to change anything. >> do you think vladimir putin is seeking to expand russia and so will he just stop with crimea? >> i don't think about it. i listen to what putin was saying and he was very clear bit yesterday when he addressed the upper chamber of the russian parliament. and he was very clearly declaring what he was going to do. and unfortunately, people in the west never listen to putin carefully. >> help us understand what he really said. >> he said that you know, again, repeated that technology tragedy and russia was going to restore its sphere of influence restore the russian empire. >> what does that mean? >> it means grabbing more territories. and if you think it was all about crimea you might be wrong. i think it's more about the rest of ukraine, it's about baltic states, it's about caucasus and other places and the russian officials are not hiding it anymore. >> you think this might produce a war eventually? actually? >> what we see in crimea some kind of paramilitary mobz attack -- mobs attacking military operations. in the rest of ukraine. >> no war there? >> no war so far. so far ukrainian government show some restraint not to give this to russia but georgian say for example they don't look for thing being legit, other possibilities that are there. >> how else would you look at what happened today? jennifer glasse just reported ton fact that you saw these ukraine soldiers and sailors just walk away from the naval base. isn't that just surrender? >> it is not surrender. they are not surrenderingto suro russian forces. >> what's the difference? >> the difference is surrender is when you raise your hand and go to your enemy. and leaving the place is different. >> okay. >> what we are seeing there is a provocation or attempts to provoke them to shoot. i cannot describe it any other different form. these are the clear attempts to provoke shoot, provoke blood. and after blood is shed then it's easier to engage in a full scale military confrontation. and i think putin's goal is not just to get crimea. i think his goal is to get rest of the ukraine. especially the eastern one and then manipulate the rest of the crimea, eastern ukraine. very clearly declared that his goal is to unite scaled divided russia and unfortunately those who can still read and remember hitler's speech in 1938, you'll find striking similarities when there was anchluss, with austria. and you know how it ended that time. now diplomacy has no chance of any success unless people behind diplomats are going to really be serious about imposing sanctions, and employing other means. because only talks are not going to change anything. >> right. ambassador, we appreciate your insight. thank you very much for joining us tonight. thank you. >> and now 12 days, since flight 370 disappeared and still no sign of that jumbo jet and its 239 passengers. the endless wait for passengers, is taking its toll. lisa stark reports. >> reporter: an quish and agony from family members, some like this woman, had to be dragged out. investigators insist they are doing everything in their power to locate flight 370. they continue to examine the flight simulator taking from the pilot's home, today they revealed it is missing some files. >> local and international expertise has been be gathered, some files have been deleted, and attempts to retrieve this data is ongoing. >> the fbi has reportedly been asked to take a look. >> we are in ongoing conversation how we can help, we will lend whatever expertise we might be able to be used. >> friend of zaharie ahmed shah continue to defend him and his simulator. >> i asked him why, that is his hobby, he enjoys flying and he wants to share the joy of flying with his friends and having a simulator is a perfect way of doing. >> co-pilot fariq abdul hamid is also under scrutiny. any possible links to terrorism. >> background checks, both of which have national, so far no information of significance on any passengers has been found. >> military planes from a los of countries including the united states continue to search for missing jumbo jet. in a path from thailand to uz uzbekistan, now that search area near australia has been cut in half based on an analysis from the ntsb. >> the area at the end of those analyses has been refined by work done by the national transportation safety board on the fuel reserves of the aircraft and how far it could have flown. and you will see that it's also moved a little way east. so it's not as far from perth as it was for yesterday's search. >> even sow, authorities leading that southern search say it will take weeks to cover just that one area to look for anything from the missing flight. lisa stark, al jazeera, washington. >> james weddick former fbi special agent joins us from sacramento, california. welcome. >> good evening, john. how are you tonight? >> good. we have had a number of people who have talked about the simulator at the pilot's home. you say it's not -- who say it's not abnormal. you say not, why? >> i've looked at the one that he had. it looks a little bit somewhat unusual. certainly more than your average computer buff who buys a piece of software and wants to do it say friday night or over the weekend. >> why the fbi and why now? why has it taken so long? >> well you know, as today we see the malasian authorities would like to have the bureau look at the data files that may have been deleted on that computer. they probably would have been better had they turned those files over earlier. but maybe there was some encryption that they tried to break themselves that they couldn't, and so the logical next-step would be to let our training facility, we have a special facility in quant quant, virginia. >> how do you do that? >> the bureau will be able to look at every file, they will be able to retrieve files and if any files are encryptthey will hopefully be able to break the encryption, maybe there was some simulated routes something that would be pecular that he shouldn't have had an interest in but maybe have. something maybe somalia, pakistan, afghanistan, who knows. >> it seems the malaysian authorities have kept the fbi and others at a distance. how does the fbi work with international or other groups? >> we have an office in the legal attache in kuala lumpur. in indonesia, we actually had a good relationship in that area. and so if you recall, there was the stolen passports, the bureau did insist -- did assist there also and looked at thumb prints to see whether or not there were somsome identical prints at the bureau. i do think the agreement was more formal than it was before. >> the fbi and the malaysian authorities are crossing every t and doling every i? >> it's both. we don't have a lot of information. any information we have including a deleted file, even though it's deleted, if we have the ability or the chance to get -- take a look at that file we'll want to do that. because after all, the jet is missing. and so until we find the jet we'll be looking at every little thing including ground personnel, passengers on board that flight, video that might have been taken at the time, at the airport, when the plane took off, anything that we might be able to conduct an examination. we'll take a look at. >> james wedeck, thanks very much. >> you're welcome. >> coming up the new fed chair, janet yellen faces reporters for the first time. the fbi gets tough on toyota and imposes a billion dollar plus fine. also sticker shock. new cars are now for sale in cuba but they come at a cost. >> it's being called a game changer for the auto industry. toyota will pay $1.2 billion to settle a five-year investigation. the car company admits about lying about acceleration problems with cars. that's the largest criminal penalty imposed on a car company in history. now general motors may face similar penalties. our bisi onile-ere has the story. what could this mean for gm? >> u.s. attorney general eric holder says this deal is important because it will force companies to ensure public safety. now general motors is in the same situation as toyota was a few years ago. this be decision will be important for gm. today, toyota agreed to a biggest penalty, $1.2 billion for misleading federal regulators and consumers over unintended acceleration in some of its vehicles. u.s. attorney general eric holder said toyota intentionally did this. >> it was shameful, designed to look after the safety of consumers, by the company's own admissions it protected its brand ahead of its own customers. this constitutes a clear and rep rehence youible abuse of the -- reprehensible disregard of the public's trust. >> an incident in 2009 that claimed the lives of an off-duty california highway patrol officer and members of his family. toyota's settlement comes as general motors grapples with massive recalls and omassive investigation as to whether gm waited too long over a fatalitiy switch problem from ten years ago, linked to multiple deaths. gm's new president apologizes and admits it should have been taken care of sooner. >> this really hits home for me. we have apologized but that is just one step in the journey to resolve this. >> reporter: as in the toyota probe, forget investigators want to find out what gm knew and when. toyota's settlement which needs to be approved by a federal judge may serve as a model for future cases. >> i think the justice department is going to be viewed very critically here, if they don't say, what's good for goose is good for the gander. and they're going olook at two issues, one is the degree of culpability. ito what extent did general genl motors like toyota conceal the problem here? >> they want to make sure nothing like this happens again. with the potential for legal liabilities looming and mounting lawsuits new ceo mary barum is now preparing to testify before congress. meanwhile toyota still faces hundreds of private lawsuits over their vehicle problems. and the center for auto safety also came out today saying that this deal is a game-changer. late this -- earlier this evening late this afternoon i learned that general motors is looking into whether -- the government is looking into whether general motors should issue another recall, involving the saturn ion, and steering issues. >> how does general motors bankruptcy play into all of this? >> you recall its was in 2007-2008, when general motors filed for bankruptcy. when that happened, they basically have some sort of protection against any legal claims prior to 2009. they are protected from that. but there are consumer groups who have come out saying, you know what general motors needs to be held accountability if there is any evidence of wrong coining. >> bisi onile-ere, reporting, bisi, thank you. janet yellen's first press conference today, "real money"'s ali velshi reports. >> the fed pulled back another $10 billion from the amount of money it drops into the economy every month. it's been doing that to keep money sloshing around the economy. but this means it's still donating $55 billion a month and it is something to pare back on at each of its scheduled meetings, throughout this year, until there is no more money. officials feel things are getting steadily better. but if that's the message the fed is sending, how come the market tanked? when the fed is expected to start raise ugh rates, this is what she said: >> the language that we use in the statement is considerable period. so i -- you know, this is the kind of term, it's hard to define. but you know, probably means something on the order of around six months or that type of thing. but you know, it depends, what the statement is saying, it depends what conditions are like. >> now john, what she was talking about is something from the order of six months from when the fed stops buying billions of dollars of bonds every month. that's going to happen sometime this fall. that means interest rates may start rising in early or mid 2015, when i say start they generally go in small increments but apparently that is too soon for some investors. generayellen and the fed were ec that this will depend on creating more jobs and boosting inflation a little bit, that's another story, why they want inflation to be a little higher than it is. , that being said, the fed will make sure we have a more robust economy than we have today, and she's not going to be wedded to dates here and there. either way, janet yellen says the fed will raise rates when the time is right john. >> coming up, too dangerous to stay, ukraine troops pull out of crimea and worry about what might be ahead. plus, losing patience, relatives of the passengers of flight 370 taking out their frustrations on officials in malaysia. around how inflation in one state is causing a housing crisis. wr crisis >> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler in new york. much more to cover this half hour including boiling point.

headquarters of the ukrainian navy in l sevastopol. ukrainian soldiers offer no resistance. so the new is in charge without a shot being fired. its forces on the ground increasingly bold in making that point. a ukrainian army base near simferopol. and the ukrainian forces inside wonder how long the russians are prepared to wait outside before forcing their way in. the ukrainian soldiers say they feel abandoned by their government. they wouldn't speak on camera so i spoke to a retired soldier who is trying to mediate. >> the soldiers have been let down. no one from the defense ministry has come to support them or encourage them. >> told the soldiers they must leave the base or join the russian army. but the government in ukraine is telling the soldiers to sit tight. >> our troops are based there legally. if the russians start attacking them our troops have every right to fire back. >> the authorities here in crimea say they will not allow a delegation from the government in kiev to come and talk to the ukrainian soldiers. crimea's pro-russian prime minister sergei actinov says the delegation is not welcome and will not be allowed interinto crimea. in simferopol we found

basketball analyst, jordan cornet. >> the madness is already here, right? >> what makes an ideal cinderella team? >> college basketball nowadays there's parity. for cinderella you got to specialize in something. you look at the vcus, they did it with defense. the florida gulf coast team, they did it with an up tempo style. the main ingredient is a style, you don't recognize the moment is that big. you go out there and play free flowing basketball. the team with a conscience. >> they don't have is the superstars that the premier conferences have. but they do have stars that stay in school for three, four years. how much value is that? >> it's like a farming system for the next level. a lot of these guys take that coaching for four years as opposed to that kid that goes to your alma mater, kentucky, takes a while to develop at that level. now the kids play full four years and get that coaching and become nba ready when they're ready to graduate. it's impressive. >> which team should fans be watching this year? >> well i've got a couple of teams. three come to mind. new mexico is really the best of this group, they're a seven seed, they have got two really good big guys, alex cushing and cameron bairstow. be, 7'5" he is that good, he is a true rim protect, san diego state is a team that doesn't love the inside shot. 7'5" you kidding me? they got nba talent on that team a guy named taylor braun, 6'7" on that team. they can score the basketball. >> jordan you stayed away from the cinderella teams also, you had the exactly same teams president obama had. >> if i follow
