Hello. The search for a missing Malaysia Airlines jet is continuing into its third day. Well, this is a picture of the plane on an earlier flight. But a couple of days ago, 239 people were on board the plane en route from beijing to kuala lumpa. An earlier possible sighting of a life raft has proved to be unfounded. The malaysian government is sharing intelligence with the americans and chinese after two pass worts were stolen to board the flight. Jennifer, we had a News Conference earlier in malaysia. A couple of new details. The government saying they are sharing biometrics and visual information with other governments. The search seems to have very little new detail to add. Indeed, they have. But what we have gotten is we have spoken to the Malaysian Police and they have confirmed that they have identified one of the two passengers that got on board the flight with stolen european passports. They have not revealed his information but said he is not malaysian. As far as we know they are no closer to understanding what caused the plane to vanish. It is intriguing malaysian officials and raises a lot of questions about Airport Security. But does that really have anything to do with the vanishing of this plane . Its still not known. Stolen passports could also point to Illegal Immigrants coming through as opposed to terrorism. They are widening their scope and widening their search area and not rule out any possibilities from terrorism to technical failure. On the question of the stolen passports, questions being raised how many checks were carried out through interpol after the date of 9 11. What information is there about the planes location . It seems bizarre in this day in age that a plane can disappear radar when so many people are monitoring these things. Youre right. None in which they seem to be able to shed much light on. We know the plane left kuala lumpur. Two hours into the flight they lost contact. That was between malaysia and vietnam. Thats where they were initially looking. Now they have military radar records that indicate that the airplane may have been trying to turn back to kuala lumpur. If that was the case a distress signal should have been sent out. In this instance, nothing was. They dont know where the aircrafts that gone. Although there are multiple reports of sightings of debris, they say at the present time they have found in evidence of the wreckage. Which is frustrating for family members still waiting to find out what happened to their loved ones on board. The passengers relatives, one spoke to journalists. Well, from the chinese side, they have felt quite neglected by their own officials and leaders. The families have been met by the Prime Minister. His wife sending condolences immediately. You have them separated away from the media. They are now put if a hotel close by to the area but not disclosed to journalists so their identities and their privacy can be kept from the prying eyes of cameras. Families do appreciate that. What they want is information. They are concerned, angry and frustrated. They are offering to fly them to vietnam or kuala lumpur. They dont know where the aircraft has landed. Theyre not sure why they should be staying in vietnam for that matter. Cant imagine the distress going there. Thanks so much indeed. Well, bbc has been on board one of the search flights. Thanks very much for joining us. Just tell us what you have been doing, where youve been, what have you seen . I spent three hours aboard. The Malaysian Airlines might have gone missing. We couldnt see anything. I could see authorities trying to track down any evidence at all of the missing airplane. We went and we were circling around the area. Its a vast area. 400 square kilometers, which is a really, really big area. The airport is not equipped to look good in the area. We spent 20 minutes there and had to head back to the base. Why did you have to head back to the base after 20 minutes . Is that because of fuel . Is the search visual . Radar. Technically how are they doing this search . Well, we had to head back because of the fuel problem, as you had earlier. They used an old airplane which is actually transformed airplane. Its not equipped for investigation, especially for things under the sea. They use radar and some other equipment. But i think they lack the resources to actually go and look farther down to find anything that cancan point to the missing location of the airplane. Do you know why wide the radar covers, how deep under the water they can detect anything . It is 400 square kilometers, which is really, really huge. Obviously from the airplane you can only see the surface. They are talking about deploying more ships. It includes two naval ships. They are all looking for any possible things. Well be getting pictures in the next few moments. Thank you. Other news today, and pressure is growing on ukraines enter eupl government as it strengthens its grips on crimea.

And now researchers are working hard to further develop casper. Engineers at the university of hartfordshire are using the technology to bring these to life.
