They come here to provide for loved ones, the kind of risk taker who takes risks to live here, embodies an entrepreneur, an entrepreneur that provides a benefit to our economy. Our economy actually needs this influx. So what was the real message . To quote Jack Nicholson in as good as it gets, sell crazy someplace else, because were all stocked up here. Thank you for watching. Have a great weekend, and well see you back here next saturday. Ahead, it is saturday. Were so glad to have your company. Always good to be with you. 10 00 here on the east coast. 7 00 on the west coast. Youre in the cnn newsroom. We want to begin with the intense search for flight 370. Nearly four days after searchers detected that fourth ping in or at least they think its a ping in the southern indian ocean, now the only sound around is the sound of, well, nothing, just silence. The big question is, have the batteries on the planes black boxes died already . And is it now time to concentrate on the underwater s
Surface ship has been able to locate them. Thats the frustration for searchers. They know the time is running out to find the flight data recorders. The pings they send out will start fading over the next few days. The batteries will end up dying after 30 days. Retired lieutenant michael kay is back with us. Alongside him is christine denison. She is an Ocean Explorer and logistics expert. I want to start with you about this new potential discovery. 122 pieces of possible debris or at least objects spotted in an area a lot smaller than we have been dealing with in the past, about 400 square kilometers. They range in size up to 70 feet. Some are much smaller. Some are brightly colored. This seems to have a lot of analysts excited about this. What is the significance of this find . I think it is wise we are calling these objects now and not calling them debris from the outseat. We have seen from previous imagery, from the start, when we had that first satellite image provided by the u. S
Alise what do you expect to be the impact of what theyre doing . For all practical reason, it looks like crimea is now part of russia. There this is what weve been talking about all along that president putin would take moves to annex crimea. I dont expect any of these asset freezes or travel bans on russian officials to be really meaningful in terms of getting russia to change course. What the administrations want to do is ramp this up slowly saying if you take more moves, we can tighten the noose. Were talking about adding names to these lists of so called asset freezes and travel bans. In time, if russia were to take more moves to move to Eastern Ukraine or throughout the region, the message is we can ramp this up. U. S. And allies are talking about energy sanctions, types of biting sanctions that would really hurt the russian economy. Were a far ways off from that, wolf. The message now is dont go any further. One of the problems the u. S. Has and were a little away from the presid
Now, mike pompeo went first, speaking to reporters there in pyongyang right before boarding his aircraft and he struck a very optimistic tone, saying that both sides agreed on the denuclearization of north korea and were committed to that. But whats denuclearization . Does anybody know . Thats the key question here, and i think from the u. S. Side, they thought they understood what it meant. They thought it meant inspection of north Korean Nuclear facilities, concrete steps being taken on the front end. North korea very clear that they want this to be kind of a tit for tat. They want to take steps and see matched by the u. S. , different areas, things theyve long sought. They said in their statement that they were very much against this idea of complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization, something that most watchers of north korea thought would be a challenge, but something that the u. S. Had kind of implied it was not stepping back from in these talks. Now, speaking of tit fo
