Were two separate pingers. >> cnns will ripley is in perth, australia with more. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, carol. right now the ocean shield is literally in a race against time, listening under water, trying to find the signals that the ship found twice over the weekend, signals that could help solve the mystery of flight 370. it takes about eight hours to do just one pass and time is literally running out possibly hours before the batteries in those black boxes fade away fo...

That is about where haixun 01 has been doing its work. >> what all weve been looking at, australian officials are saying its unlikely, the source is of these two pings that are picked up are the same. what do you think? >> yes. i mean, some people are dealing diplomatically courteous, saying some of this could have followed through the deep waves through sound travel. but angus houston sort of discounted it. they do seem to be different events. the focus of attention is on "ocean shield" and wha...

Theyve gotten new information from reconfigured satellite information to hone in better on the search information and now are moving better assets to pick up on the ping from what possibly are the black boxes from the air plain. our cnn live coverage continues now with natalie allen in atlanta. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> welcome to our continuing coverage. im natalie allen. to our viewers around the world and in the united states, thank you for joining us. straight to our top story. dramat...

Whether there is anything down there. but i think the fact that we have had two detections, two acoustic events in that events provide promise which require a full investigation of the location. >> just to clarify. just what youre talking about then the boat picked up something then came back and found a second one in the separate area. is that correct? is that what youre saying? can you expand on the ocean shield? >> yes. okay. the first detection is about, i suppose 36 hours ago. not last nigh...

That we learned from him was not really not detailed until about halfway through his news conference when he had said what they learn and he turned around to ask one of his colleagues, when did that happen, that acoustic event that happened, he said about an hour ago and that acoustic event that he was alluding to came from ocean shield. that happened about an hour ago. that was outside the area of the other two acoustic events that have been in the news as of late. the breaking news that he was...

On board the "haixun 01" and theres a shanghai reporter on the ship. we started getting reports from the xinhua, the chinese based news agency and also from the reporter on board the "haixun 01." there was a question about the flow of information and why it was coming out of china first. and angus houston was saying, listen, when youve got reports are on ships, embedded on airplanes, he said he accepted the reality of that. but he was also diplomatic saying relationships are good, said he was ve...

They have signals and they have things to investigate. even more so, they were quite excited about "ocean shield" picking up that last acoustic signal just in the last hour or so. this has moved this investigation into a whole new arena. for days weve been talking about finding debris. while that would have been good, this is much more optimistic, the fact that they have leads from signals to investigate. this does not mean they found the black boxes. they need to work to verify. chief houston a...

Hand-held hydrophone and experts, well, they are quick to exercise caution about their reliability. renee, good morning. >> well, christi and victor, we now know about equipment used on the chinese ship when that pinging sound was reportedly detected. we spoke to the company that makes it and they tell us divers can use it or it can be used handheld from the surface, like the chinese are doing in this video. but, clearly, this hydrophone does not go as deep as the towed pinger, what crews are us...

Other four countries together? >> look, the water in which the high shin 01 is working at the moment is very, very deep. i think its in the order of 4.5 thousand meters and thats incredibly deep. 4.5 kilometers straight down. so you know, any recovery operation is going to be incredibly challenging and very demanding and will take a long period of time. thats if theres anything down there. first of all, weve got to establish the fact that there is something down there. were a long way from makin...

Night. "ocean shield" stays with its own acoustic event once it determines once and for all it is relevant. if is not relevant, it moves down where "haixun 01" is. to answer the point about why this is so significant, it has to be seen pieces of the jigsaw which came together last night, christi. it wasannt just the pingers an just the two detective acoustic events. at the same time, they have refined the satellite data. they now believe they have a better idea where in the southern corridor the...
