And "hms echo" can monitor the subsurface areas and look for objects under the water, that will take 14 hours, he said, from this point now to reach that area where the chinese detected those pings. so weve seen a sort of quite major redeployment of resources as a result of this information thats come out from the chinese, including the two most high-tech ships, the "ocean shield" and "hms echo" and the chinese aircraft, presumably because they can get there faster than the ships to try to inves...

Would take us to a black box? >> there is a chance. im hesitantly optimistic. those pings are something. i know that the operators and the equipment on the australian ship, the "ocean shield," have something that needs to be investiga investigated. ive actually worked with that equipment and those operators before on twa flight 800 and on some other operations and that is the equipment and operators that have also worked on air france. so that must be investigated. that was the third noise picke...

Again. even when objects have been recovered from the ocean, so far nothing connected to flight 370 which is what makes this announcement from china an interesting development which still doesnt give us what we need which is answers about flight 370. we know that on friday and saturday, the chinese ship supposedly was using some sort of underwater hydro phone and they detected two separate pulses, pulses they think could possibly come from an in-flight data recorder. the data was interesting eno...

Seriously that theyre moving assets into the area to investigate the "hms echo." because of the location houston is saying a team of international experts have received new information about the condition of that satellite, which has caused them to res have the speed at which they believe the speed it was flying. they believe it was flying faster than previous thought. they now think the probable area the plane went down shifted to the south, which houston says is actually pretty close to the ar...

All? >> reporter: its been there for a couple of hours now according to the british ministry of defense. were not getting regular updates, sort of minute by minute updates on what its progress is. the expectation is in its 14-hour journey from its previous location it was getting prepared, ready to start work as soon as it reached the location where the chinese recorded these two what have been called acoustic events. they detected these pings on the same frequency that is 7.5 kilohertz used by ...

Have had very few leads which allow us to narrow the search area. obviously, we take any reported lead in the search very seriously. thats why today, royal australian air force assets will report to assist in further examining the acoustic signals in the vicinity where the chinese ship has detected the sounds. "hms echo" and "ocean shield" are also being directed to join the chinese ship as expeditiously as possible to assist with either discounting or confirming the detections. echo is the clos...

They bring to verify the underwater acoustics? >> reporter: the first ship in the area, hms echo, british royal navy ship. it has sonar on board. it will get out in the next 10 to 12 hours to sweep the zone the chinese ships have already been over. chinese ships will continue to work as well. theyve heard it twice in that zo. they want to go over and see if they hear anything else. the ship investigating the acoustics now. if its discounted and they do not believe thats the location of the black...

Victors ready for some right now. >> i am, theres a protein shake on its way to this desk soon. >> its the bottom of the hour. you just have whatever you want. im christi paul. glad to have you with us. >> im victor blackwell. a hungry victor blackwell. up first, the beacons that could lead searchers to the black boxes. two ships "hms echo" and australias "ocean shield" theyre trying to detokt those things. the batteries may only last 30 days, and this savran will be 30 days. and voting in afg...

Systems. while im not dismissing this as a positive, id need more information in homing in on where that signal is found. >> if you do find something with this locator that theyve been talk about, again, this is a ship, this is not the pinger locator necessarily, will they divert where that pinger locater is to be closer to this chinese ship? >> that would be the thing to do, you know, if they get more information from them. the advantage of the two ships out there, hms "echo" and "ocean shield,...

The pulse, any number of things that could cut off that signal after a minute and a half? >> absolutely. its like getting a station on a radio, in a car, driving along. you got the station. sounds great. you go another 50 feet and it fades out. then comes back again. if you keep trying to fiddle with the tuning knob, trying to get that big one just right. theres a lot of stuff. theres thermal, thermal layers in the water. theres water thats denser and saucier and thz mountains, valleys, all of t...
