Those on board now arguably the biggest unsolved mystery in aviation history. Could this data be part of the key that unlocks the mystery . Aviation correspondent Richard Quest has been closely following the release of the log. He has new developments from los angeles. Richard, you know, its pages and pages of data, a little bit of explanation. When you look at this with your International Aviation mind, what do you see in these numbers . Reporter what theyve done is break down the flight into various sections. So, we have the preflight section, which makes up a variety of pages, and thats quite important, christine, because that is, if you like, the calibration. Knowing, because they know where the plane is it was on the ground at kuala lumpur and they know where it was for the first 40 minutes of the flight. So, they take those early parts of the data and they use that as the calibrating moment and information for all the later pieces of socalled satellite handshakes. You then see in this when it loses its acars, its Communications Ability using the data link. And then finally, you see these satellite handshakes, where the plane and the satellite are saying hello to each other and where they are recording both the time that takes and the frequency differential, the socalled doppler. Now, Satellite Experts and engineers obviously, im not one of those they will be able to make sense of this. But what they wont be able to do is recreate inmarsats numbers. And the reason is because there are many other components, christine. Youve got the modem itself on the aircraft and the characteristics. Youve got the satellite, the way it wobbled up and down by 1,000 kilometers a day. And youve got the ground station. Inmarsat in releasing this information, as they told me exclusively, they are basically saying to the world, this is what we did. This is to show you the transparency of the operation. Its not inviting you to try and recreate it, not because we dont want you to but because you cant. You havent got the full range and raft of detail. We are showing pictures of you, your exclusive sitdown at inmarsat in london, where they did this analysis. So, tell us, the families have wanted to see this data because they say they want to analyze it. This data has been analyzed. It has been analyzed by inmarsat. This is the data used to determine where they think this plane went down. Reporter oh, not only that, and they are at pains again and again and again to say this this is not inmarsat on a frolic of its own. They gave this data to several other organizations. They wont say which ones. I believe them to be rolls royce, boeing, the ntsb, the aaib, and they will not confirm that. They gave this data to other organizations who then went away, made their own models, ran those models not just against mh370 but against dozens of other planes that were in the air at the same time and against planes on previous flights, and they always got roughly the same results. So, what inmarsat is quite clearly and bluntly saying is, its worked in all these cases. Why on earth, nobody has shown why its not working on this particular case. They have an extremely high level of confidence that theyre right, that the plane flew south and that the flight ended in the southern indian ocean. All right, Richard Quest for us this morning in los angeles, where it is very early. Richard, thank you so much for waking up with us. Coming up in a few minutes, were going to go live to beijing, where David Mckenzie is following the family reaction to this data being made public now, so stay with us for that. Want to go now to nigeria, where this morning a top official says they now think they know where hundreds of kidnapped girls are being held. These girls were abducted from a school more than a month ago, but so far, other than this video, theres been no sign of them. Now, with an international team, including americans, trying to track those girls down, nigeria is warning that a rescue might not be possible. So, what are we supposed to make of all this, this claim . Arwa damon is live in abuja in nigeria this morning. And arwa, explain this to us. Was this an offhanded remark by a defense official in nigeria, or is this a legitimate claim, hey, we really know where they are and we can get them when we want . Reporter well, thats exactly what weve been trying to figure out, placing numerous calls to various spokespeople within the ministry of defense, ministry of information, trying to ascertain exactly what sort of intelligence is behind that comment made by the defense chief of we know where the girls are but were not going to tell you just yet out of concern for any sort of operational security. Also saying that they would not be launching or would not be using force to try to rescue these girls. The u. S. , for its part, saying that it does not have solid evidence at this stage about where the girls actually may be, but they do have information, and thats pretty much what weve been hearing all along. They are believed to be somewhere in the northeastern part of the country, split up into smaller groups. Very difficult to navigate terrain, though, john, and this is very much boko harams birthplace. It controls huge swaths of territory throughout the northeastern part of the country. When it comes to a military operation, that would prove to be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, even for the most highly trained operatives, given the terrain that they would have to navigate to get to these girls, but also the very nature of boko haram, an organization so ruthless that when we met two boko haram informants last week, they told us that they had no doubt whatsoever that boko haram would be using these girls as human shields. So, great concerns that a military operation could actually lead to their deaths. Negotiations also phenomenally difficult, given that boko haram is not a topdown structure. There is not necessarily a single individual who could step forward for the government to negotiate with. Its been an incredibly agonizing wait for the families, for this country as a whole that has also been seeing boko harams attacks growing even more bold and more frequent since those girls were kidnapped over six weeks ago. A very difficult time at this stage for nigeria, and most certainly many challenges lying ahead, not just when it comes to bringing those girls back home, john. Difficult now. Add to that the confusion over these claims that they know where the girls are. Arwa damon, thanks so much. New details this morning about the days leading up to a terrifying massacre in southern california. Six Uc Santa Barbara students were killed. 13 other people were wounded before Elliot Rodger took his own life. Police say three of the people he murdered were his own roommates. And now a friend of his family says rodger had a longrunning feud with those roommates, claiming they were noisy and played video games at all hours. But the mother of victim weihan wang says her son planned to move out because it was rodger who was noisy, playing loud music in the middle of the night. Today, Uc Santa Barbara will hold a Memorial Service to remember the victims. Classes on campus are expected to resume tomorrow. A memorial day pledge from Vice President biden, vowing to restore the united statess sacred obligation to care for veterans. The Vice President speaking at the ride to recovery memorial bike challenge, amid the growing scandal at the department of veterans affairs. 26 va facilities now under investigation over allegations of doctored wait times. The Vice President pledging to do something about this. The only truly sacred obligation we have before every other obligation that exists in this country is to equip those of you who we send into harms way and care for you when you come home and your families. That is a sacred obligation. And were behind right now. The va is having problems, and weve got to get to the bottom of it. A handful of lawmakers have called for va secretary Eric Shinseki to resign over this issue. The white house, for now, standing by him. Rescue teams expect to be back in western colorado today looking for three men missing after this unbelievable landslide sent at least three miles of mud cascading down not far from the utah border. The three included a county road worker and his son that had traveled out to the region to check on damage from an earlier slide, and then the ground gave way. Theres a shear wall where it broke off of the mountain, and it pushed an enormous amount of land, you know, a half a mile forward. The sheriff says everyone is praying for a miracle, but the ground is so unstable right now, they dont want to risk any more lives during the search. A huge wildfire growing bigger in alaska. The funny river fire covers some 248 square miles, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate. This about 60 miles south of anchorage. The fire is about 30 contained right now and authorities are hopeful that some rain forecast for later today and tomorrow might help slow down this blaze. For many in texas, memorial day was a washout heavy rain falling on a big part of the states gulf coast. These pictures are from victoria. Thats not far from Corpus Christi. Slammed by several inches of rain in just hours. We looked outside, and the rain was up to our sidewalk, close to our house. And in about 90 minutes, we had 6 inches of rain. Closer to houston, a lot of destruction as wet ground and high winds tore down trees, sending them flying right into homes. Luckily, no injuries have been reported. Want you to take a look at this, this incredible picture from north dakota. That is a tornado on the ground in watford city, not far from bismarck. It passed over the oil fields there. Huge oil industry in that area. It slammed into campers housing oil workers. More than a dozen trailers were hurt, one critically. Local Officials Say an early alert meant that most living there were able to get to safety before the tornado struck. Can you imagine being in a trailer and saying, hey, look at this thing coming . I mean, you just thats unbelievable. I cant imagine being anywhere and seeing that thing coming. Indra petersonss tracking these dangerous storms. What can we expect today, more of that . Unfortunately, yeah. At least this is the reason the warning time is so key. In that case they had the warning. Another warning, eastern texas still talking about the threat of Severe Weather. Today that shifts farther east, including waco all the way down to about Corpus Christi. So yes, the threat of tornadoes is still possible out there, but one of the bigger concerns out there is really going to be this heavy amount of rain. Lots of rain out there. Youll notice about 3 to 6 inches possible there, so you have the threat for flooding, especially in a lot of areas where they were short on rainfall, so that flooding threat is even higher. Very easy to see. Take a look at the water vapor. This shows you how much moisture is out there. Look at the entire eastern half of the country. You may notice it looks pretty moist . Thats the reason were going to be talking about a lot of showers pretty much anywhere eastern half of the country. Were calling it kind of soupy. One sim is kind of making its way through, the cold front here, and of course, the big low with the heaviest amounts of rain in the southeast. So, a lot of you will be noticing a change, especially out in the northeast. Yes, you have rain. Thats one side of the equation. Look at the temperature difference. Boston down to 55. Youll feel a big drop new york city by tomorrow also joining them in the fun and cooler weather. So, it was nice, but its changing quickly. But its okay. Its not monday, just kind of feels like one. Thanks, indra. Time for an early start on your money. Futures higher right now. The number in the u. S. To watch is 1,900, the record in the s p 500 could be achieved again. Stocks mixed in europe after german stocks hit a new record yesterday. Eu leaders meet today, set to discuss possible sanctions on russia. Reuters obtained a copy of the memo detailing what new sanctions could look like. On the low end, reuters says the eu will restrict russian imports of luxury goods like diamonds and caviar. On the high end, the eu would move to stop importing russian oil and gas entirely. Ukraine elected a new president over the weekend, and hes vowing to crack down on russian separatists. All right, so, they demanded information for months. Now families are poring over the justreleased satellite data in the search for flight 370. Will this data answer their questions . What does it tell us . Were live in beijing with what the families are saying now, coming up next.

Com families of missing flight 370 passengers are finally getting what theyve so desperately wanted for months, a breakdown of satellite data, but will this information bring them any closer to the answers theyve been looking for . David mckenzie in beijing following the family reaction this morning. Good morning, david. What are these families saying . Reporter good morning, john. Well, the families are saying a variety of different things, but for many of them, its a positive step to get this data fom inmarsat, to get a sense of the raw numbers that they used to come up with the conclusion that the plane dropped in the southern indian ocean, which is, of course, something the families want to really get a strong handle on. But at this stage, many Family Members weve spoken to just dont know who to trust. What did they do for this more than two months . They havent searched for anything they havent found anything. And we are suspicious for the first day that whether they are searching the right place, whether what they are telling us is true or not, because it is our loved one who is on the plane. With no direct evidence, we never believe it. Reporter well, john, the hardest thing for these Family Members is really, they havent been able to start on any kind of process of grieving. I just got off the phone with a trauma counselor here in beijing who said, you know, ideally, they have someone who they can trust to go through all the steps of getting this information, but because they feel they cannot trust anyone, its the actual Family Members who are doing this lobbying, and so, theyre delaying all those difficult processes that theyll have to go through at some point, and this process could take at least a year to get more closure. So, it might be a very difficult and agonizing wait for the Family Members. Long slog ahead. David mckenzie in beijing for us. Thanks so much. Pope francis says he plans to meet with victims of child sexual abuse at the vatican next month, vowing to show zero tolerance to abusers in the catholic church. He will meet with eight victims and cardinal Shawn Patrick omall omall omalley. He also reveals that three bishops are under investigation. A new study is getting a lot of attention online. The findings not as clear as you might think. Its about diet soda. The study is in the journal obesity. It seems to show that drinking diet beverages can help you lose weight, perhaps even more than Drinking Water alone. But heres the catch. The socalled water group in this study were actually allowed to drink pretty much anything they wanted, including regular sugary soda. And the authors who are paid by a Beverage Industry trade group didnt track calorie consumption, so many critics are saying take the results with a grain of salt. Ill stick with my 4 1 2 gallons of coffee every day to see how that effects my diet. There is a big amount of caffei caffeine.
