This new strategy will likely drag out the search a lot longer. This bluefin21 submarine takes six times to search as the towed pinger locater. Today the sub can only carry an area of about 15 square miles which is about 7,200 football fields meaning the scan of the entire search area which is the size of los angeles could take up to two months. The deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle has the potential to take us a further step towards visual identification since it offers a possible opportunity to detect debris from the aircraft on the ocean floor. I would caution you against raising hopes that the deployment of the autonomous under water vehicle will result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. It may not. However, this is the best lead we have, and it must be pursued vigorously. This morning the head of the search team says an oil slick was found in the search area, but lit take several more days to figure out where the oil came from. Cnns will ripley is in perth, australia. Reporter Angus Houston at the press conference said this area where bluefin21 we believe is searching right now is an area new to man, meaning more people have been in outer space than have been this far down at the bottom of the ocean. The search for mh370 is moving into a dark corner of the world that in some ways is more mysterious than outer space. We know less about our deep ocean than we know of the moons surface. This man and his Research Team took this video, professor of the coastal ocean ag fi in australia says this is what the search zone nearly three miles down could look like. Its dark, very cold. Reporter with pressure so intense, it crushes a styrofoam cup down to a fraction of its size, the missing plane is believed to be 4500 meters, nearly 15,000 feet down. Its flat and its the sediment, its silt. Reporter the extreme conditions will test the limits of the u. S. Navys bluefin21 which is beginning the slow, painstaking process of mapping the ocean floor. Patients. People need patience. Reporter u. S. Navy captain Mark Matthews says one mission takes 24 hours, two hours down, 16 hours of scanning, two hours up, another four hours of downloading data from the side scan sonar which maps out the ocean floor. You can actually see the shapes. You kind of see the traces, the outlines of the objects. Reporter the team also took the video of what this next step, the salvage phase would look like, underwater robots would pull small pieces of the plane up. A ship would have to hoist up any large pieces. Bottom line, a very, very slow process. Reporter a process just beginning meaning mh370 families could wait months, even years for the answers and closure they so desperately need. Carol, another interesting thing that the oceanographer told us is he would be very surprised if any debris is found floating on the surface. Weve been talking so long about this visual search area. He thinks because of the fact that the plane went down in the area it did where the current patterns are the way they are. Plus Tropical Cyclone jill jan moved through some time back, he believes it makes this underwater search so much more critical. What about the visual search efforts with all the planes and the ships. How much longer will that last . Reporter thats a good question. Angus houston would be the man that would have the answer to that. He did say today, he also said, just like the oceanographer that the chances of finding any floating debris are significantly lower now. So at some point soon its safe to say we will see a tapering off of that visual search effort and eventually the seoul focus will be this under water search. Will ripley reporting live from australia. Searchers will now search an area the size of los angeles for the black boxes. To do that theyll use bluefin21, an unmanned submersible, a submarine. 16. 2 feet long, 21 inches in diameter, weighs 1,650 pounds. Its maximum speed is 4. 5 knots, not very fast. It is equipped with side scan sonar. I want to show you an example of the kind of pictures it takes. This is the picture courtesy of teledyne. It shows the under water wreckage of a ship. This image was taken with Better Technology but you get the idea. Well talk about this a little later in the newsroom. As the strategy shifts in the indian ocean it becomes more important to find the black boxes. This weekend al lash yeahs acting transportation manager says its difficult to clear the passengers and crew of any wrongdoing. Thats not what the Inspector General of police said earlier this month. Actually we said only the passengers has been cleared. The rest, no. Different story this morning. On sunday those were the comments from malaysias acting transportation minister. Listen. That is an ongoing thing. I dont think the idp would have meant that theyve all been cleared. Unless we find more information specifically on data in the black box, i dont think any chief of police would be in a position to say they theyve been cleared. There you have it. Were at the 200plus suspects. Sunima udas is in kuala lumpur with more on this. Good morning. Reporter hi, carol. There has been a miscommunication or disconnect between the various investigating agencies. That seems to be a problem or have been a problem all along. The malaysian acting transport minister explained the discrepancy saying what the police chief was actually trying to say was none of the passengers had any kind of suspicious background, not that they had been cleared, because he said nobody can be cleared, of course, until those key black boxes are found. Authorities have questioned about 205 people so far. The four main areas theyre focusing on are sabotage, terrorism and personal problems and psychological problems. And the main thing we have to remember here, carol, its not just the malaysian authorities who are investigating. There are so many other agencies in involved. Youve got representatives from inmar sat, from boeing, from the fbi, from the ntsb. So this is a massive investigation and a very complex one. Were not getting that much information from anywhere really because they say this can jeopardize the investigation. Thank you. Pro russian demonstrators in ukraine show no sign of ending standoffs. Today they set fires and broke windows throughout a police headquarters. One man in a Police Uniform who was severely beaten had to be taken away by ambulance. This comes as the deadline passes for the activists to lay down their arms and surrender from two other buildings they occupy. Cnn International Correspondent Nick Paton Walsh joins us from the ukraine. Reporter the Ukrainian Government says its retaking this town, slavyansk, a pro russian barricade blocking the entrance. Hours earlier the military said elite police would swarm in. This helicopter was the only sign of that. Calm on the streets, just more barricades on more roads. The interior minister declared an antiterror operation and told everyone to stay indoors. Really life is carrying on as normal here just down the road, barricades have been reinforced around the key buildings. This amateur video shows how far the anti terror operation got. Just to the outskirts of town according to one Senior Security official who confirmed armored personnel carriers were there and shots exchanged. One Ukrainian Security officer dead and others injured. Where the pop song says putin will save us from fascism, the authorities have simply vanished from the town hall.

The Police Station was last night run by this captain, but now under the control of pro russians. Here is how that happened. The captain tries to stop these men dressed the same as militants in slavyansk. Im pre russian, an afghan veteran one policeman cries. Theyre pushed aside. Shots in the air. The captain tries again, but fruitlessly. More shooting.
