Mclaughlin live in perth, us austral australia. Erin, what are they saying this object is . Good morning, chris. Martin dolan, the head of australians transportation and Safety Bureau telling cnn this object of interest washed up onshore about 190 miles south of here in Western Australia. He said that the atsb is currently studying photographs of the object, photographs also have been provided to malaysian authorities. He described the object as a sheet metal attached to something with rivets. He also says, it is sufficiently interesting, but he says the more we look at it, the less excited we get. And that was a direct quote. The object, we understand, is currently in the custody of police. According to the australian maritime and safety authority. They are bringing it here to the joint Agency Coordination center in perth for further analysis. Clearly authorities treating this as they treated every other lead in this investigation. Theyre taking it seriously. Something that needs either be ruled in or ruled out in the course of this investigation. Chris . Erin, thank you very much. Lets bring in mary schiavo, cnn aviation analyst, former Inspector General for the u. S. Department of transportation. Marley, help me with this. Its an object of interest. Were going to hold a press conference and scramble the forces out there to look a it. Its a piece of metal with rivets. But the more we look at it, the less interesting we find it. How do you put those two pieces of information together . The most important thing i heard is a lot of rivets. On a plane you have millions of rivets, literally. Its a piece of metal with rivets and in the part of the world we expect to find it. Its certainly worthwhile checking it out. They heard there was also fiberglass glued to it. That doesnt make sense but there are cabin dividers. They dont have a lot of rivets in them. But certainly i agree with the australian officials who said it is worth theking out. By all means. Thats how they found clues to the craft of adam air in the jahrah sea. Youre not finding a debris field. Youve had enough time for the current in this area of ipdian ocean is Strong Enough to have sent it that distance to shore. Absolutely. All right. So its plausible. Its time to look on the shores. Its plausible. Plausible. Youre making the right point and to follow up, they say its an interest of object and its becoming less interesting the more they look at it. Theyre qualifying it as well. Different parts of the hull, different Marine Equipment is made with metal and fiberglass put to it. It could be anything. At thing thats interesting here that theyve said, it may take up to two weeks to cover the last 20 of the search area. Now, that would be disproportionately long but is it disproportionate to your understanding of how long it should take . No, because the part thats left, the 20 that is left, is much deeper than the other part that theyve already searched. Its harder to examine. They might be bringing in some different equipment as well. The bluefin might not be able to do that so were looking at perhaps even manned submersibles, but theyre looking at different equipment to go down there and get to those depths and finish off that first. Its only the first but finish off the first search area. We hear the aussies are thinking about asking for more help. Theyre entering into an express agreement with malaysian authorities that does involve, among other things, expanding the search area. What do these developments mean . I think theyre good developments. I think the written agreement, a firm commitment, agreement, contract, if you will, between malaysia and australia will set a lot of things straight and will empower australia. So many times youve heard Angus Houston in the press conferenceses say, well, thats up to the malaysians. Ill defer to my malaysian counter parts. Once you have this contract in place there will be clear lines in authority and australia will have authority in a lot of things including what to do with the wreckage, recovery of human remains and running things not just on the sea but somewhat on the land. Its a good development. Its good to have an agreement up front speaking of putting my lawyer hat on a minute because once things start happening its harder to get an agreement. I think its a good development. And the expansion means theyre there for, i wont saw forever, but theyre there for the long haul because otherwise they wouldnt need an agreement. Thats good. Good development. Who is paying . For now, every country thats participating is footing their own bill. Event chul ly they might have t have a discussion about some,rey or the bills, if you will. There is on every Major Airline flight, theres about a billion dollars insurance on major, not minor, b but Major Airlines have that insurance. There should be some talking about some point about tapping or at least asking, they might even have to file suit against them, but asking the insurance policy to cover some of this. The malaysian side of this investigation, they wont answer the 26 questions. They also wont release the inmarsat do ata . Why not . Dont we have examples of when you open up this type of information to crowd sourcing but might get a big brain out there who crunches it a little differently . Not just that. Not just looking for different insight. Sbintelligent people around the world and people who might want to volunteer to help. But releasing the information cannot possibly harmony criminal investigation. Ive tread 26 questions. They are questions that really should be answered within the first few days of an investigation, not first two months. The very basic questions in many cases and so theyre the kind of information that in an ntsb investigation would be released in the Daily Press Conference or in the daily briefings with the family. The questions are articulate. Theyre intelligent. Theyre right on. There are things as simple as, you know, serial numbers on the black box or how do they know that the 33. 5 hertz on the pingers is actually the 37. 5 hertz on the original pingers degraded on the batteries. Thats a questions that a lot of us have the frankly, thats information they should already have. If they dont, call in help, more help than even the australians. It seems like the kind of help were going to hear about next will be attorneys. I bet theyre going to be filing suit to compel the disclosure of information thats relevant to the families and the data itself. Thats what i think is going to happen. Well, yes and no. Sure, there will be suits filed. As you know, to file a suit youre supposed to have, you know, good cause. Youre supposed to have a good faith basis. Right now without the by the way, one of the things the family asked for were the maintenance records and the plane logs. Those are probably right now the two most important things they could have. Theoretically you could find information about a possible plane malfunction or broken things in the fix and plane logs and maintenance records. With dont even have those. Its going to be difficult to file a lawsuit against anyone other than malaysia, against malaysia air. And malaysia air will simply defer to the on going investigation when you hit them with requests for production of documents. Theyll say, we cant respond because theres an on going investigation. That usually buys them a heck of a lot of time. So we need just a little bit more before i think people can reasonably see real lawsuits. I mean, there might be some that are filed frivolously. But tiny bit more information is needed. A lot more. People have filed for a lot less than what were dealing with right now, mary, as we both now. Thank you for the perspective this morning. Kate . We want to remind view irs we are awaiting a News Conference from malaysia officials. That will be on the latest developments in the search for flight 370. We will bring that to you live when it comes to us. But talking about this new information almost coming out this morning about the object of interest. The question is, what does it tell us about a possible crash site, where that object of interest was located. Lets bring in our chad myers who is taking a look at that. This is south of perth. Its south of perth about 190 miles, chad. Right. What can you glean from that when youre looking at currents . I can grelean that this is where were looking. The underwater search here. Almost 1,000 miles away is what were talking about the landing site of that. Is that out of the question . No, it is not because that would be 45 days, 24 hours a day, about one mile per hour. Thats about what the current would flow. Now, theres Something Else going on in here as well. An awful lot going on in here. There was a huge cyclone. Equal to a category 5 hurricane. Now, they spin the other way. So were spinning this way. Right on top of that site. Not only 40 days ago. Debris there and blown to the south and by the current we know there are currents here, waves 10 to 12 feet. 14 feet under that cyclone. Some will actually come from from the west. Go under australia. And keep right on going. Its not out of the question that the debris is down here. Got pushed down by the cyclone, caught in the current and ended up on that beach. They havent found anything else anywhere. Ka kate . Its something worth looking at. It has rivet, some fiberglass coating on it. Theyre going to track that. Thats very interesting to see where the currents work and where it could head. Chad, thanks very much. We also have breaking news the search for bodieses in that south korean ferry disaster. We are now learning that divers found no air pockets on the ships third and fourth decks. They had been hoping they would find those air pockets nape had held out hope that with the air pockets they could find some additional survivors. But the confirmed death toll now rising once again. Its at 150, with 152 people still unaccounted for this morning. Theres also new information about what was happening on board when the ferry first ran into trouble. Cnns Nic Robertson is live in jindo, south korea, with the latest. Nic . Kate, we have these new details from the rescue effort. We know now, weve been told that a new main rescue ship than brought into place. It is nine times larger than the main rescue vessel in place. Also around ship now surrounded by nets so that bodys, divers cannot get caught in currents and drift away. But today a grim milestone discovery by divers. This sunken ferry now lies at the bottom of the yellow sea. Early this morning rescue divers completed their search of the ships cafeteria where they expected to find many of the passengers. But none were found. Sadly, most of the grim discoveries were made near the students cabins on the third and fourth levels. And now divers say they discovered in air pockets, meaning this may switch from a rescue to a recovery mission. This is the sewol crew has come under fire again. South koreas coast guard told cnn the first emergency call was made by a boy on board, a full three minutes before the crew made their call for help. Local affiliate jtbc reported his first words to emergency dispatch were, help us, the boat is sinking. Local korean media report that many other calls for help were made by students on the ship. A fisherman arrived as the ferry was capsizing. He says he saw no bodies in the water and was told everyone was safe, so he left. He is angry at the captain and says, with so many people on board, no one did anything. Nearly one week later the number of missing declines as the death toll continues to rise. For the families of the hundreds of young lives lost, it is all too much to bear. In the last hour weve learned another two crew arrested. 11 crew total so far arrested. The owners of the ship, their officers, their homes have been searched as well. Michaela . Nic, such tragedy. Thank you for that latest update. More breaking news right now. This time out of ukraine. Troops it called for easter is over the p operations targeting militants in the easter will resume. This comes after a surge in violence leading many to believe last weeks deal tos tensions between ukraine and russia will amount to nothing. Cnns fred plankton has the latest. Fred . Certainly, it seems that truce called over easter is an absolute peril at best. The government here saying that truce is over. They are going to relaunch what they call an antiterror operation in the east which means the Ukrainian Military will send forces to try to get prorussian separatists out of the buildings. You menged the violence going on over easter. There was a toplevel politician found dead in a river in one of the towns held by the russian separatists. They blame russia and prorussian separatists for dilling this man and allegedly torturing this man as well. Also over the weekend, a plane of the Ukrainian Air force hovering over one of the towns held by the prorussians was shot at, apparently sustained several bullet holes but was able to return to the airport in kiev. Right now what were seeing ises escalation rather than deescalation. As you know, Vice President biden was here yesterday and said the u. S. Was going to help prop up the Ukrainian Government but also called on all sides to situation. We still have tens of thousands of Russian Forces on the eastern border of ukraine. Now the Ukrainian Government says it will take steps to forcefully intervene in the country. Thats something thats almost certain to cause trouble. Chris and kate, back to you. So much for the spirit of rebirth and renewal that easter is supposed to bring as a season. Thanks to fred pleitgen. Everyone calling for de deescalation but neither sign from either side. Coming up next on new day, were awaiting still a live News Conference from malaysian officials on the search for flight 370. Were going to bring it to you live as soon as that begins with all new details. But first, we do have new details about that 15yearold stowaway who flew from california to hawaii. This is an extraordinary journey. A wakeup call to awful of our airports. He didnt just hop the fence and get on the plane. He was there for a while. Well examine it.

Beneful healthy smile food and snacks. We have breaking news. Youre looking at the acting minister of transportation for the malaysian government and theyre starting their press conference about this object of interest found on the shore off australias coast. Lets listen in. Today the Maritime Authority planned visual search area approaching 7940 square kilometers. The center of the search area lies approximately 1,584 kilometers northwest of perth. However, planned search has been suspended for today due to poor weather conditions in the search area. Three aircraft had already departed for todays search area prior to this taking affect. They have been recalled. Current weather conditions are resulting in heavy seas and Poor Visibility and are making air search activities ineffective and potentially hazardous. The ships involved in todays search will continue with their planned activitys. Bluefin21 is currently completing mission ten. Sound quality isnt great so just so you understand whats being said right now by the interim minister of transportation, air search suspended because of weather conditions.
