Discussing possible military action in syria is uploaded. And we take a tour of mars without leaving earth. The scientists recreate the red planet. Find out why. Hello, everyone. The search for the missing malaysian airliner has shifted focus once again. It left kuala lumpur in malaysia 21 days ago heading for beijing. First analysis of satellite communication suggested it flew south down this trajectory on an arc into the southern indian ocean. First searching of Western Australia was in this area as suggested by that analysis. Satellites did show objects of interest here, but no confirmed connection to the airliner. Now its thought the route actually headed down this path to here. Thats because analysts have deduced from combining radar and satellite data that the jet was flying faster than previously thought. So it burned fuel more quickly. Thats why the australian search operation is focusing on this new area. It is 1,100 kilometers northeast of the original search zone. The good news is that the new area, which is bigger than the size of the united kingdom, is a shorter flight from perth and that means planes can stay over the search area for longer, up to two or three times two or three hours longer. Now, we can go to kuala lumpur. Can you just confirm that altitude was factored into this new analysis which is now handed off to australia . What more can we get in order to get closer to potential wreckage which you identified of flight 370 and where are we with that inmarsat data . The requirement is ongoing, even as we speak. Our team, our working team down here from the u. S. Team, the from u. K. , from china and malaysia are every day working and talking to boeing and boeing been doing it even as we speak. And they are defining the calculations, the analysis and they will come up with new leads in a few days time. So i suspect they are still working and they have informed us. They will come out with it. I have to conclude by saying that its not just a technical sharing of data and expert but the joint deployment of assets from so many nations specific to certain areas and complexities i think it is something that is purely unprecedented and has got everybody together working on something worthwhile and theyve got the imagination of the world focused into something that i think is going to be very historic and probably going to change the aviation landscape in the future. There are some lessons to be learned by everyone in this case and if malaysia can be a small part of this process, i feel honored to be part and parcel of what is going on right now, but at the end of the day for the families, the one question they really want to know is where are their loved ones and the one question i want to know, where is mh370, and that is an ongoing process being stated by so many, so many people out there risking life and limbs to find that. I cannot, unfortunately, provide to you today. Thank you very much. So thats the view from kuala lumpur and the minister and the chief executive of Malaysian Airlines and also the head of the Civil Aviation authority moving very quickly off the stage at that point with confirmation that the area has moved closer to Western Australia, an area thats north of the roaring 40s. A little less aggressive when it comes to sea state and also winds and current. It is a shorter flight from perth which means planes can stay over the search area longer, two to three hours more. Lets go to phil mercer in perth. Reporter its almost three weeks since flight mh370 has vanished. Theres been a significant shift. The search area has shifted more than 1,000 kilometers to the north based on new information provided by malaysian investigators. Following an analysis of radar data, they believe the jet was flying faster than thought and was burning off fuel more quickly. This continuing analysis indicates the plane was traveling faster than was previously indicated resulting in increased fuel usage and reducing the possible distance it traveled south into the indian ocean. Reporter the view from space continues to find unidentified objects in the southern indian ocean. A thai satellite has detected a field of debris that could be linked to the missing airliner. We found the floating objects of various sizes from two meters up to 15 or 16 meters. We preliminary estimate that there may be at least 300 pieces of those out there scattered in the area of about 500 square kilometer. Reporter the Reconnaissance Mission is at the mercy of the weather which has forced the flight to be grounded twice this week. The conditions are expected to remain favorable. Looking at a little bit of low clouds perhaps saturday morning and saturday evening. Dont think thats going to hang around too much. Essentially the rest of today and tomorrow the conditions will be a lot better than they were yesterday. Reporter off australias west coast, the search is intensifying. Ten aircraft are due to scour the search area along with half a dozen ships. Phil mercer at the pierce airbase in Western Australia. Just before we went to him lip there in kuala lumpur malaysias transportation minister did say the satellite images of apparent debris seen in the last couple of days are still consistent with the new search area closer to Western Australia. The parties have indicated they have shifted the search area approximately 1100 kilometers to the northeast. Because of ocean drift, this new area could be consistent with previous satellite images over the past week. This work is ongoing and we can expect further refinements as the Australian Authorities indicated this morning, this is Standard Practice in the search operation. It is the process of continually refining the data which further narrows the search area. With each step we get closer to understanding mh370s flight path. Search is conducted on the best Information Available at the time and in the search for mh370, we have followed the evidence and acted on credible leads. Our search and rescue efforts have been detected by fine and corroborated information and the search of the refined area is no different. So lets go to kuala lumpur live to the bbcs jennifer. You were monitoring 35 minutes of briefing today from those three officials. What was your impression of what else is being learned after the confirmation of the new search area closer to Western Australia . Reporter what we now know is that the satellite images that have been coming out from various countries, they say those are still relevant which means the sophisticated vessels are still searching for the potential debris out there. We still have no positive identification, we have not been able to lift or physically see any of this debris out at sea. Thats what the aircraft and vessels will be going out to look at. Were at day 21 and were still no closer to figuring out exactly where it went. They did not confirm that this area is the area which the plane had crashed into. They did not give anymore information about the data that led them to refine the search. All they will say, it is refined search area, but from our standpoint and from what journalists are getting, it seems as if its a new search area and the last few days they have been searching further out than they should have been and, therefore, thats perhaps why they werent able to see any of this debris. What it means for the families is that theyre extremely frustrated that theyre not able to get any closer to understanding exactly what happened. Theyre frustrated with the pace of information, but as you heard from the acting transport minister who is also the defense minister, he says they have been doing a good job by not spreading any kind of rumors until they have been able to confirm, triple confirm the information before releasing it out to the public. It doesnt do much for the families who have been waiting for almost three weeks. It has been excruciating for them. Jennifer, one other thing. He was specifically asked about the status of the Police Investigation into the pilot, the copilot and other members of the crew. Did he answer that question . Reporter he didnt exactly because he said that the head of police chief was not there, that he will have him for the next press conference to answer it. What we do know at this point in time is that officials have narrowed it down to what they call four probable causes, hijack, sabotage, and in their words, the personal and psychological problems of people on board. It doesnt necessarily narrow it down to what exactly they think happened but, of course, they have indicated that the flight in which how they know that the plane had went from kuala lumpur heading to beijing somehow veering west and then somehow landing in the indian ocean was done by somebody who had some knowledge of flying and so, of course, a lot of the focus has been on the pilots but of course so far we have not had any evidence or any kind of clues as to what the potential motive could be if it had been the pilots. So at this point in time were no better off than day one it seems. All right, jennifer. At the moment, thank you very much indeed. Let me underline what the transportation minister said. He said, quote, we are continually refining data across Many National sources. The number of people confirmed dead in the massive mudslide near seattle has risen to 25. Rescuers say they expect that figure to rise substantially over the next few days as they recover more bodies from the wall of mud which engulfed the small town of oso. 90 people are still unaccounted for. The bodies of some victims may never be found. The bbcs Dave Williams is in oso. Reporter as the painstaking search continues, telephone calls were released revealing the panic as the mudslide tore these homes apart. Hundreds of trees have fallen outside of my house. It sounded like an earthquake was happening. Are there any injuries . Yes. There are people yelling for help. Reporter amongst the rubble rescuers have found the body of a 4 month old girl whose grandmother also died in the disaster. The search operation is taking its toll on volunteers. Theyve recovered more bodies than the figures indicate but those bodies have yet to be formally identified and in the next few days the death toll is expected to rise significantly. Comforted by her british friend, heather rogers, Nicole Rivera told me four of her loved ones are missing. Both her parents, her 19yearold daughter delaney and delaneys fiance alan. In other countries and places where there have been tragic mudslides and lives lost, many, many times bodies are not recovered and those areas are then claimed as a memorial ground, and i have a feeling that may be the case in this swaks, and im okay with that for me. I dont need a body to know. To get closure . No, i dont. What i have to say about delaney, god, shes beautiful. I will miss her very much. Im going to do everything in my power to help as many people as possible in honor of her and alan and my mom and dad. The tragic story of this tight knit community is slowly starting to unfold and the grieving has barely gun. David willis, bbc news, Washington State.

Thats new information combining radar and satellite data indicating the planes highest speed. The number of people confirmed dead in a massive mudslide near seattle in the u. S. Has risen to 25. Rescuers say they expect the number to rise as more bodies are recovered. The trial of the olympic athlete, Oscar Pistorius, has been adjourned for ten days. Hes widely been expected to open the defense case by giving evidence from the witness stand. It would have been the athletes most detailed account so far of what happened the night he shot his girlfriend dead. Hes always maintained what happened was an accident. The bbc is in pretoria. Reporter as usual, the crowds were here, the crowds of media as Oscar Pistorius arrived at court this morning. Within a half an hour or so weve all learned that the trial has been postponed until april the 7th. There was almost an audible groan as the announcement was made. There has been so much of a buildup thinking that possibly Oscar Pistorius might have been called as the first witness in his defense. Its been happening all the way through. We heard from people about what did she do and why . The trial was not continued today because someone has taken ill. The court cannot continue with just one assessor. The court is not properly constituted. The importance, the role that the assessors play is that they will be helping the judge in order to reach a verdict whether guilty or not guilty. So they can challenge the judge basically on methods of effect and methods of the law but they can only help the judge to reach the guilt or not guilty verdict. After that they get dismissed. The judge then will decide on sentencing if Oscar Pistorius is found guilty. Theyre pretty low profile throughout. Theyre not simply a matter of being able to substitute one of them and carry on as normal . Unless one dies or the one thats ill is sick for a longer period, then they can say, well, they need to appoint another one who would then need to go through all the courts papers to see who said what in terms of which witnesses have testified and to see if the assessor would have new questions to ask because assessors are also allowed to ask questions in court through the judge. What does it do for Oscar Pistoriuss defense . Where does it leave everything . It means that they have more time to prepare the defenses case. It also means theres a possibility that Oscar Pistorius is much more anxious than he was because he was possibly meant to be ready to face cross examination from the prosecutor. When he does cross examination, he can be very aggressive, just like barry roux can be. The prosecutor taking his turn after being examined by barry. For now that trial postponed until april the 7th. Karin, thank you for joining me from pretoria. Scientists have recreated a little piece of mars here in the southeast of england. One Company Involved in the next mission to the red planet, they have built a test facility. It will help design and test a rover vehicle that will be sent to mars in four years to search for life on the red planet. Our correspondent gauche has visited this replica of mars on earth. Reporter its mars but not as we know it. It looks like a film set, but its actually a lap bra tori to test out europes next mission to mars. This is an exact replica of the martian surface. Everything from the sand to the size of the rocks to the rough terrain is exactly the same as it is on mars. It will be designed to develop the next generation of martian rovers. It creeps across the surface to avoid damaging itself. By speeding up the footage, they can understand the witnesses, the wheels and the suspension. Its camera called time cam is being built in theory. It will have small colored filters that will be used to find out what the rocks are made of. The European Mission is purpose built to search for life. It will drill deep into the martian surface and analyze the sound port in an onboard laboratory. I think the probability of detecting ancient life on mars is very good. We do know that mars and earth were very similar in their early history and so we would expect to
