>> ammann, keep us posted. thank you so much. other news now turning to the missing malaysian flight 370. searchers will now send out a sophisticated submarine to visually find the wreckage. they are deployed the unmanned bl bluefin-21. its been six days since sounds were detected. the equipment sending out the signals may have now run out of battery life. they continue with planes and ships. an oil slick detected yesterday but the search of air and sea surface will end in two to three days. k...

Were hearing about bluefin 21, its going on. should we be optimistic, ooh, were moving on or the other possibility? >> im very optimistic about what they found, that two-mile stretch where they got that pinger for is where theyre going to focus that bluefin 21. >> hence, the rebirth and renewal theme of the colors you have on today. mary schiavo, the oil slick that they found in the area, we hear that theyre not going to be looking for debris anymore because they believe the length of time is to...

Recorder is now done. >> well, i would state that its day 38. if you remember when we had a briefing seems like a long time ago, now. but weve had 30 days shelf life. and then, possibly out to 40 days. and factor is that well almost be totally expired. we havent had a single detection in six days so i guess its time to go underwater. our concept was if we get an area we can identify from an acoustic search wed go underwater. that is why the ocean shield is caring the pinger, to get initial detec...

A strategy shift in the search for flight 370s black boxes. >> its time to go under water. >> reporter: and possible new evidence. >> an oil slick in the same vicinity, so we will investigate those to their conclusion. >> reporter: its been six days since the last pings were detected in the south indian ocean. searchers believe the pinger batteries are probably dead. so theyve retired the pinger locator and launched bluefin-21. the underwater vehicle will scan the sea floor for wreckage. >> i wo...

Quite a large underwater search area was determined on the basis of the exchanges between the satellite, the inmarsat satellite and the aircraft, the handshakes. and you might remember, we had the seventh ping. this area that were in is under where the seventh ping occurred. now, after that analysis was done, that enabled the deployment of "ocean shield" with the pinger, pinger locator and she went into that area and she received transmissions from the deep. that is the basis, the four transmiss...

Can. hes been very good about this. ive been saying before about accident investigations. the key to a good investigation is not to draw conclusions for people but to provide them with the facts which he has done. hes done a really good job of that. i really admire him for how he handled that. >> so why are the facts making you feel positive? >> hes not drawing a conclusion based on the facts but what im looking at is that for two hours they received a solid ping. all these other pings that they...

>> it happened in the very far corner of the area its searching, so they are just shifting the search box a little bit away from that deep water and proceeding with the search. >> and a question for you on the black boxes. theres been a constant reference, you know, commander marks referred to it as a pinger. angus houston has referred to "a pinger." obviously, there were two black boxes on the plane, but the use of "a pinger" is purposeful. are you confident youre going to find both recorders o...

Ukraine. and we keep playing this game. what they want is a friendly government in ukraine. theyre trying to manage whatever political transformation in ukraine to make sure that whoever comes in in this next election is friendly to russia. they want a federalized system which is more chance for russia to wreak its influence there. >> the temperature is going up and up. >> definitely. >> the search for flight 370 is about to enter the next phase. authorities the are warning we could be in it for...

Or insignificant. how do the audio experts tell the difference. >> i did a simulation of the pinger output to give you an idea of what were listening for. [ pinging ] >> nice and clear, crisp, sharp and evenly pulsed. >> but underwater with other echos and wild life sea life, man made noises, swishing of water flow and so on and so fort, this is what the ocean sounds like with the pinger sound embedded in it. and the job, of course, is to try to identify and bring out what were looking for.
