239 people were on that plane. It was headed from kuala lumpur to beijing. A new report showed that the cap captain and crew showed no odd behavior before the flight took off. Cnn is covering the story all around the globe today with our correspondent whose have been following it from the very start. Joining me now is anna coren in kuala lumpur and our reporter from beijing. What does the report show . Reporter we are getting information about those first hours, days that the confusion, if you like in this search for mh 370. It is pretty much consistent with what we already knew, but we getting sort of blowbyblow minute by minute as to how this all unfolded. You make reference to that new bit of information about the pilot and the crew on board mh 370, saying that there were no behavioral changes. Theyve looked at sensitive footage of the crew and captain on three previous trips and found that there was nothing different in their behavior. They certainly didnt seem seem stressed. There were no financial or personal issues that could have led to the captain or any of the crew members wanting to commit suicide. As we know, this is one of the theories as to what happened to mh 370. But whilst the report doesnt go so far as to say that it clears them all, it certainly insinuates that there was nothing sinister to their behavior that would lead the captain or the crew to do anything untoward to the plane. But, you know, if the namfamilies were hoping for new details, new information as to the whereabouts of mh 370, theyll be sorely disappointed. Families as we know today commemorating the anversery of that illfated flight. No trace of them still one year on. Many believe that the pilot tried to commit suicide. Thats been put to rest now what youre telling us and that report is telling us. What does the report tell us about the weather . Were there any kind of weather problems that could have impacted the flight . Reporter no look weather was never believed to have been a factor. And certainly that has come out in this report as well. This independent, International Organization comprised of some seven bodies air accidents and investigation organizations from the United States the u. K. Australia, china, singapore as well as boeing and rollsroyce. They have all contributed to this report as well at malaysians. And they have said that weather was not a factor on that flight. Certainly, it did reveal some of the confusion in those early hours. Malaysia and vietnam for example had a deal if you like that if a plane entered into the others airspace that they would contact, you know, within minutes. That did not happen. So when the boeing triple seven moved into vietnams airspace or failed to there was no alarm, if you like from the vietnamese. That was delayed some 20 minutes. So great deal of confusion that has come through in this report. Anna coren for us in kuala lumpur. Where its just about four minutes past 4 00 in the afternoon. Thanks very much. Well the flight was headed to beijing the day it disappeared. Tensions with local authorities are rising. Our David Mckenzie witnessed it. Reporter the Family Members of those on board of mh 370 had planned to come here to this temple to pay their respects one year on. But frankly, there are more police here than family at this point. Some of them say theyre intimidated. Normally i would be able to get through this area. But through here is where there are some Family Members, maybe about ten, and theyre not letting me get inside. Just come inside please. Dont touch me. This is this is Family Members who are trying to grieve. And theyre stopping us. 239 people died on this plane, and youre telling me they cant come here to commemorate. Translator i just want to know why the police are treating us like this. We didnt do anything illegal. Were just looking for our families. Why are they doing this . My husband was on mh 370. It was supposed to land at this time, and never came. Just looking for my husband. Reporter though they wanted to. Could and commemorate one year after mh 370 has vanished theyre intimidating the families. And many of the families say theyve been detained several times by the chinese authorities, and its pretty tragic a year on. David mckinzie joins me now from beijing. It is pretty tragic. These families cant grieve still a year on. So many questions and answers. Theyre waiting for word. How tough has it been on these families . Youve been speaking to several families. What are they telling you . Reporter its incredibly tough as you can imagine. This is not just any ordinary tragedy. This is an extraordinary and unprecedented tragedy for these Family Members. Because a year on we know very little. And those answers that have been put out by imarsat and others havent been trusted by the families. And having the areas swamped with police where they want to grieve it tells you something about the way the communist party operates in general but it shows you what these families are up against. The chinese families through the foreign minister says they will continue supporting the search for as long as it takes. But up till now, with all this money spent, and all this Technology Employed theres still no physical proof of what happened to that plane. And so these families have hung onto every Conspiracy Theory that has been discussed and have very little closure, none at all, in fact. Absolutely. A year on there is no plane debris. But for the families, there must be a fear as well david that the search is going to stop at some point. Reporter well there is. And certainly Australian Authorities have hinted recently that the search wouldnt go on forever, and it might even wrap up later this year. We dont know at this stage. But i think its also important that the kind of nuts and bolts things that the family need to do. They need to get death certificates. They need to get insurance, if that is possible for the families. They need to start the process of settling with Malaysian Airlines if it comes to that to give them some kind of financial security. Many of these families their bread winners were on that plane and theyve left them in both financial and emotional limbo, and because of the fact that theres no evidence and the Family Members are refusing to accept what evidence there is it means they cannot start that process. So theyre left in a very difficult space. I just dont know what theyre going to do in the coming weeks and months as this mystery continues. But its a pretty awful situation for them both here in china and around the world. Indeed David Mckenzie for us in beijing. Thanks very much david. I want to bring in our aviation correspondent, richard quest, who has been plowing through this report. Richard, pages and pages of the interim report what does it show us . This is the report and its 109 pages long, with several hundred pages of logs. And this is the kind of report one would have expected. It goes into the detail of the aircraft, the systems, how they operated their manufacturer. Their maintenance. Were there any problems. And so far there seems to be nothing wrong with the aircraft its oxygen supply its radios its satellite communications. Nothing wrong with the fuel. It had enough fuel for the entire jjourney. What were seeing first of all is that the pilots were in good health and nothing psychologically wrong with them. There was no reason to believe they committed suicide. But also were getting some father fairly devastating views on how air Traffic Control between kuala lumpur vietnam, singapore, this complex flight information region who was in control. Theres one particular point that ive just been reading where youre supposed to make a call if a plane doesnt check in within three minutes. Here, we had 17 minutes before the plane before they made a call. So what im seeing now is absolute confusion on the night and a lack of understanding of what the radar was showing on the night, and that is clearly contributed to the fact that nobody was able to realize where the plane was going. Yeah so theyre clearly putting the idea the theory that weve both had before richard, of the pilot being behind this trying to be a suicide, thats been put to rest. No. No. No. I dont think it has. Im going to interrupt you. You cant put it to rest. You have to still put it on the table, because that ares no evidence one way or the other. What it does is it gets rid of all the nonsense those people who said he was stressed because his wife the captain was stressed because his wife was leaving him or he was a political activist or the first officer was a loner. It gets rid of all of that. And what it brings it what it boils it down to is there is no evidence upon which you can hang your hat on that theory. But you obviously have to still keep that as a theory since in the views of many it is the most likely theory. Indeed. Thanks for clarifying that richard. But, like you say, a day of confusion there with the air Traffic Control. Richard quest making sense of all the details coming out of this preliminary report thats come out today on mh 370. Thanks richard. Well are you watching cnn newsroom. And still to come. Two murderous groups may soon work together. The connection between boko haram and isis.

The president of mali visited the scene of the deadly gun attack which left five people dead, including a french citizen and Belgian Security guard. A north african jihadi group is claiming conresponsibility. Two arrests have already been made. Now the leader of boko haram has announced that it is swearing allegiance to isis. They are trying to create an Islamic State in nigeria. The group may be behind a suicide bombing attack on saturday that killed more than 50 people. We have more on what an alliance with isis could mean. Reporter a voice claiming to be that of its leader pledged to hear and obey in difficult times and in prosperous times the amir of isis al baghdadi. This will give isis a scope of alleygiance allegiance. And it gives it an opportunity to strike another blow against al qaeda in that battle for international dominance. Boko haram had previously sworn allegiance to hk. It has been pushed out of many of its gains. Propaganda gains generally have translated into the lifeblood of foreign recruitment and foreign donations. And boko haram needs that now more than ever. Whether that will help it to turn the tide against their African Union force remains to be seen. We want to turn your attention to Northern Iraq. A car bomb killed at least six people saturday and injured dozens more outside a coffee shop. In a separate incident an ied inside a car killed at least one person. This as Security Forces work to take back tikrit from isiss hold. Ben wedeman has the latest. Reporter the offensive to drive isis out is making slow progress. Five sunni tribes men and the iraqi army were able to retake a town south east of tikrit. This town was previously an isis stronghold. And sources tell us that isis left behind hundreds of improvised explosive devices. Iraqi forces are also advancing on another town north of tikrit. This contrasts dramatically with several chaotic and ultimately catastrophic attempts to retake the city last summer. This new tactic is widely attributed to the involvement of the iranian advisers including the presence of casulemany. He is leading this operation. And its the iranian supported fighters who we saw on the front lines seem to be playing the leading role with the iraqi army providing support. Against a backdrop of this significant iranian role the u. S. Led coalition is nowhere to be seen. Weve seen no reports of any Coalition Air strikes anywhere near the battlefield. Ben wedeman, cnn baghdad. Now russian authorities have arrested four men in connection with the murder of boris nemtsov. He was shot to death mean days ago next to the kremlin. All four suspects are said to be ethnic chechens with a long history against moscow. Celebrating and empowering women. Every day should be International Womens day in the sense that i kind of want to get to a point in the world where women are seen as equal to men. Using powerful words and eyecatching art to inspire women around the world. We have the story on International Womens day right here on cnn, after a very short break. [alarms blaring] ohhhhh. Whoa whoa whoa whos responsible for this . . If something goes wrong, you find a scapegoat. Rick. Its what you do. Ahhhhhhhh whatd you say . Uhoh kelly if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Rick. Dont walk away from me. Ahhhhhhhh your clever moves wont stop the flu. But practicing Healthy Habits with lysol can. The cdc recommends washing your hands often and disinfecting surfaces. This season use lysol to kill 99. 9 of germs and help keep your family healthy. Hes out there. Theres a guy out there whose making a name for himself in a sport where your name and maybe a number are what define you. Somewhere in that pack is a driver that can intimidate the intimidator. A guy that can take the king 7 and make it 8. Heck. Maybe even 9. Make no mistake about it. Theyre out there. I guarantee it. Welcome to the Nascar Xfinity series. Welcome back to cnn newsroom. Now today is International Womens day, a day to celebrate womens achievements and to call for greater equality. It started when women started for greater pay. We show you why its good for moms and business. Reporter its welcome news for expectant mothers and a major step for industry. By the end of the year vodafone will increase its Maternity Leave to 16 weeks full pay and incentivize women to return to work. We think this is really good for our business. As he said there are hidden costs to women not returning to work. Reporter the benefits will be rolled out across the 30 countries where vodafone operates. In the u. S. And india and africa women there will benefit most. And actually our women are thrilled that were doing this. So this makes sense for them and this makes sense for vodafone. Reporter but currently, when it comes to maternity pay, the worlds biggest economy comes bottom of the list. There are no federal regulations to provide any maternity pay. At the other end of the scale, some of the nordic nations and baltic countries like lithuania, estonia and finland increased their Maternity Leave. There definitely has been progress in the past few years. There are more women in senior management. More women on boards and, you know women actually are more likely to have a degree. Reporter but offering women more time off after birth is only part of the solution. In sweden they have parental leave, which means that fathers have to take leave as well as mothers, and that equals out the playing field, so men are leaving the workforce as well as women. Reporter when if comes to the financial cost vodafone says if everyone followed its example, businesses could save 19 billion a year. I want to bring in a senior representative from Amnesty International. There is a lot to celebrate without a doubt, in terms of womens accomplishments, but there still is a lot of work that needs to go and plenty of concern. I want to ask you about the prevalence of violence against women. And im thinking here in specific boko haram. Mmhm. What concerns you, when you look at the world right now and
