We begin this hour in indonesia where rough seas are keeping the search teams from getting a closer look at two large pieces of metal now spotted in the java sea. They believe the objects are from the airasia flight that crashed. Recovery crews also found a panel, this panel with two windows. They found this on friday. And planes flying overhead have spotted oil slicks. Paula went out with the helicopter today. She joins us from indonesia. But just like many others in the search you and the helicopter crew couldnt see very much out there, paula . Reporter thats right, natalie. At the last minute the flight plan was changed so we didnt go to the site itself. We went along the coastline were at at least we intended to. Because officials are concerned that some the bodies and debris may have actually drifted those 100 nautical miles to dry land. So thats where we intended to go with this police helicopter. But just half an hour into the flight we had to turn back. The pilot said we couldnt fly around the weather. And he said i was too dangerous and even if he was willing to fly through the weather, the visibility would not be good enough to spot anything in the patteren or the ground. In new bodies have been found today. We know that 30 have been retrieved so far of the 162. But certainly it has been a difficult day for rescuers to be able to try and find any parts of the plane or the victims themselves. Were hearing from the site the waves are about three and a half to four meters high. Thats up to 13 feet. So dozens of divers are simply waiting on deck. They cant go in the water. Its just too dangerous. We did see a russian plane landing here with 22 divers on board. They also had sonar and acoustic equipment which they were confident would be able to help in the search. But of course if the weather is not going to cooperate you can have all of the best technology in the world but if you cant use it it is going to put the search on hold as weve seen over the recent days. A lot of aircraft behind you just sitting there. That is tough to see. Because they have spotted some objects but they cant get to them. You mentioned, paula, that you were in the helicopter 30 minutes into the flight on the way to the west coast of borneo. They boarded the flight and then had to adorpt. How long would it have taken you to get there . How spread out is this search area . Reporter well to get to the search area in the open sea, in the java sea, would have taken just 45 minutes in the helicopter. But because of the weather conditions they made it a red zone. So only helicopters who are directly helping in trying to winch the victims from ships were allowed into that area because it was simply too dangerous. We were going along the coast. We are intending to be there for a couple of hours. The concern now is the bodies have been in salt water for some time. We spoke to the executive director of the dbi, the group in charge of the identification a little earlier and asked him how difficult things could become. The first identified body was identified using and after we have to use another matter lets say using dental records, dna and some other things. Reporter he also said that he wants to find these bodies as soon as possible before they start to sink. Natalie in. Just a grim grim task all around. And the fact that these families have to identify their loved ones once they find them. Thank you, paula hancocks. We certainly hope the weather will clear soon. Well one of the six bodies identified so far is that of a young Flight Attendant who chose the profession because she loved to travel. David mall cove met with their family. Step by step to their final resting place. Each bearing a number each number a soul. Casket four no longer nameless but identified as the first crew member of 8501 still wearing her uniform.

Get a 15 gift card when you buy 75 in hp ink or any hp toner multipack. Office depot officemax. Gear up for great. The u. S. Has slapped north korea with another round of sanctions after alleging it was responsible for the hack against sony last month. President obama signed the order while on vacation while in hawaii. Jim acosta reports from honolulu. Happy new year, everybody. Reporter the new sanctions ordered by president obama are being dubbed by the white house as broad and powerful aenl only the initial u. S. Response to north koreas response to the allege cyberattack on sony pictures. Theyre aimed at any and all officials in the north korean government as well as the heart of pyongyangs shadowy operation and the money that finances it. The rgb, north koreas Intelligence Organization plus a chief research and development firm. In a letter to john boehner, the president says this adds to sanctions already in place and is not targeted at the people of north korea but rather aimed a the the government of north korea and its activities. He vowed to hold pyongyang responsible. They caused a lot of damage and we will respond. We will respond proportionally and well respond in a place and time as manner that we choose. In an interview with cnn, mr. Obama called north koreas action a kind of cyber vandalism the u. S. Will be dealing with for years to come. Were going to be in an environment in this new world where so much is digitalized that both state and nonstate actors are going to have the capacity to disrupt or lives in all sorts of ways. We have to do a much better job of guarding against that. We have to treat it like we would treat the incidents of crime, you know in our countries. The white house appeared to suggest that the u. S. Was not blind that vast internet outage in yort korea days after the president s comments. Josh earnest said in a statement, the sanctions are the first actions of our response. The seen year white house official said that the u. S. Is not ruling out the possibility that north korea may have done it to themselves. Just how much these new sanctions will pinch north koreas already isolated economy is not clear. The u. S. Is not certain whether the ten people targeted in the samesexes have assets in the u. S. The white house making it very clear theyre just getting warmed up. And cnn correspondent will ripley has reported for cnn inside north korea and he is in beijing right now to talk more lets dig deep into these sanctions, will and who the u. S. Is targeting. And you have more details about the type of people the u. S. Is targeting and how they want to try to hurt this regime. Reporter yeah. I mean certainly the sanctions in one sense, theyre sending them a very strong message that any activity like this wont be tolerated. But what the sanctions do is they publicly name ten high level government officials who havent been named publicly before including seven who were involved directly in the arms dealing business. One of the ways that north korea makes its money. These are people operating in places like africa iran russia and syria who up until now had been under the radar. Now theyre exposed. It will be more difficult for them to sell weapons. And me american citizens are forbidden from doing transactions with them. One of them is directly involved in Cyber Intelligence another in the arm trafficking business and another in research and development. These do sting. But, again, the overall message is dont conduct this type of activity or there will be consequences. Hopefully it will sting against the regime. The United States says this is just the beginning. So they could be continuing . Who else could they what else could they try and do to hurt this regime in north korea . Reporter well that has yet to be seen what other steps could be taken. There are already sanctions in place. These are on top of sanctions that are already in place because of the Nuclear Program that north korea, you know has basically defied International Requests and demands to stop its development of Nuclear Weapons and that sort of thing. What could come next who knows. What the u. S. Government is saying by calling this their first step is they deny any responsibility with that north korean internet outage that happened recently. Could the u. S. Conduct some cyber activity, possibly but that would have a limited effect on a very fragile country. Well wait and see if the sanctions make an impact and what perhaps north koreas response will be. Thank you very much.
