Brought to the farther end of the runway. It was surrounded by four to five patrol cars. We understand the passenger was brought into Police Custody but he was unarmed. Some flights at the airport were delayed, but everything, according to that cnn producer, was back to normal within the hour. Chris . Erin, thanks for the reporting. Lets bring in Richard Quest live from kuala lumpur. Were going to talk to you about the flight for 370 and your exclusive interview with the malaysian Prime Minister. Lets talk about this hijacking scare for a second. Youre in the region. What are you hearing . Is there in any way related or a goof ball on the plane . What do they think . I think you put your finger very firmly on it this morning. Unruly passenger. There are plenty of them. When they are apprehended they feel the full force of law. And thats whats going to happen in this case. There are an enormous number large number of airlines crisscrossing the Asia Pacific Region and this, of course, was a holiday flight from australia up to indonesia, up to bali. What you have here is maybe somebody who had been either a little too im imbibes or had taken the wrong turn. Hes going to feel the full force of the law. Richard, lets turn to your interview with the malaysian Prime Minister. You have something that is very unusual when you talk to a state official. You have news. You have things that came out of this that are new and actually help provide insight. I want you to toss to the sound yourself. You know it better than i do. Interesting takes on why he used the word hostile early on, whether it was deliberate about the posture towards the families and disclosure. Take us through it. Were you as surprised that he was as candid with you as he was . Thats a really good question, chris. And the answer is yes. This is the malaysia pms first really big sitdown interview on this subject. And to some extent there was so much to talk about that if he just talked about the weather it would have been newsworthy in that sense. But what i needed to do, of course, is look forward as much as what had happened. So lets start with where were going to go next. And i asked, bearing in mind that were reportering this morning, bluefin21 is coming to the end of the narrow search and that they will have to be looking further and theyre going to have to go deeper and its going to cost more and its going to take longer, so the Prime Ministers question was, were they prepared for the long haul and the expensive costs. Is malaysia prepared to put whatever it costs for however long into finding this plane . And were talking hundreds of millions of dollars over many years if need be. Can you give that commitment tonight . We owe it to the families. We will search. We will spend as much as we can, as much as we can afford, to find the missing plane. Could i ask you for a yes or a no on that question . It would be a yes, but as i said, it has to be on the basis of our affordability. But we owe it to the families to find answers that they are looking for. Now, im sure that there will be some who will say he used weasel words. Hes giving himself a get out of jail free card by using the phrase on the basis of our affordability. That is not how it came across to me, having been with the Prime Minister, chris. The Prime Minister is very much a man of the principle that they will do whatever it takes because he recognizes it and he chooses his words extremely carefully. For instance, hes only given two statements so far on the 14th and the 24th of march. In both cases the words were used in the case of the early statement that the plane had been flown deliberately. In the second, in the case that the flight had ended in the indian ocean. I asked him about his choice of words. Youve given two statements, one i think on the 14th or 15th, one on the 24th. They are major statements of the direction of this. Sure. When you describe it as deliberate action by somebody on the plane, that word deliberate is very carefully chosen. It doesnt tell us whether its deliberate thnefarious or deliberate because of mechanical. You said it that. Precisely. It was very, very carefully chosen because given the facts, and mind you, richard, the Cardinal Rule that we used from day one was always follow the evidence. And the evidence that was presented to us meant that there was precisely the right word for me to use. Which do you believe it is, nefarious, mechanical, or are you prepared to say . Not at this stage. It would be wrong for me to speculate because you need hard evidence, richard. And thats the problem, you need hard evidence. And there simply isnt any, chris. Well, its true, but you were pushing him on the right questions though, in my opinion, richard, because they had been putting out a lot of speculation, the notion that it might have been hostile, it seemed to take a deliberate turn and focusing on the pile t lot. It was sbrinteresting for you t put those questions to the Prime Minister, especially whether or not he was going to release more information to the families. He said hes going to but out the preliminary report and hopefully that will help the dialogue there. You did it very well. Thanks for bringing it to us, my friend. Get home safely. Thank you, sir. Kate . Now lets turn to the latest on the crisis in ukraine. President obama said today that he will continue to talk with european allies about new sanctions against russia but he also made clear, once again, that sanctions are ready to go if needed but he admits theyre not a quick fix. The threat of the sanctions are not forcing russia to change course so far. Theyre going ahead with military drills just outside the borders a move they say makes russia looks like it wants another world war. Senior International CorrespondentNick Paton Walsh is in ukraine with the latest. How is it looking from the ground right now, nick . Well, kate, troubling this morning, two separate explosi explosions. One far to the west of where im standing at a police standpoint seems to have been caused by an explosive device and here near where im standing in do innocence and kramatorsk. We understand from a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Military a grenade was fired blowing up a helicopter there. Despite the fact that no one was injured in either incident we are still seeing an area here extraordinary close to open conflict. Tensions flaring in ukraine as the region teeters on the brink of war. Bloody, fiery crashes erupting as the Ukrainian Military moves to reclaim cities taken by prorussian militants, killing five of them, they say, and destroying three checkpoints around the eastern soun of slaviansk. They say it as a direct threat to russia warning of immediate consequences, saying, quote, if the kiev regime has started to use the army against the population inside the country, it is a very serious crime. Russian citizens being attacked is an attack against the russian federation. Reporter russias response was swift, conducting new military drills for 40,000 troops positioned along the eastern Ukrainian Border moving tanks into place and testing jet fighters to overcome any missile defense. Running out of patience the ukrainian president inviss that russia retreat and end what he calls its blackmail. Ukraine remains a country divided with those in the east carrying a strong allegiance to russia. The war of words between the u. S. And russia growing increasingly intense. Secretary of state john kerry accusing russia of distraction, deception, and destabilization in the region. If russia continues in this direction, it will not just be a grave mistake, it will be an expensive mistake. Reporter new u. S. Sanctions against russia could come as early as today if put tin refus to deescalate the exercises. Theyre holding military threats of their own. Parra troopers are the first of 600 soldiers deployed in poland, all russian allies. Day by day the rhetoric we hear really heats up. We got a glimpse from barack obama moments ago talking in cole that while there could be some sanctions against individuals today they want to keep arrows in their quiver in case things get further out of hand here. Thats the broad concern. Washington does believe we could see significant intervention here by russia in the coming weeks. Chris . That becomes the question, nick. Are words enough in this situation . Lets go to Michelle Kosinski. Shes with the president. He just gave comments in south korea. Hes continuing the war of words and the question therefore remains, can the u. S. Make russia do anything in this situation that it doesnt want to . Hi, chris, right, throughout this asian trip the worlds eyes have been watching the ukraine situation and the u. S. Response to it. I think it was interesting that president obama said that tonight he would be talking to european allies about that situation. You know, weve been hearing for many days now that the expanded sanctions against russia are coming soon, theyre ready to go. The administration has been using words like watch and wait and coming days or through the wekend which has long since past. The fact that theyre going to be talking about that tonight could indeed indicate that those sanctions are coming very, very soon. But today president obama also mentioned the possibility of applying pressure with more bite to north korea. Remember, in this part of the world north korea is the biggest security concern. The South Koreans expect another north Korean Missile test at any time. President obama said that the u. S. And south korea stand shoulder to shoulder against continued north korean threats and provocation, and said their refusal to give up their Nuclear Program despite the worlds demands will only bring north korea, quote, nothing. Michae michaela . Appreciate that, thank you. While in south korea president obama offered his condolences to the families of victims in the ferry disaster before a private meeting with south koreas president , mr. Obama held a moment of silence for those who perished. The coast guard says rescue teams have now recovered 185 bodies from the wreckage of that sunken ferry. 117 people remain unaccounted for. Israel has suspended peace talks with palestinians in response to a unity deal made between rival palestinian groups fatah and hamas. The pact angered israel which hamas says is a terrorist information. This puts back peace talks in disarray. The secretary of state john kerry says talks could still go on the both sides make compromises. American Airlines Flight from tallahassee to miami was forred to make an Emergency Landing in tampa last night. Passengers report smelling smoke in the cabin. Some say they heard an explosion. The airline is not confirmed those reports. Passengers were given hotel rooms and meal vouchers and they will be rebooked on another flight this morning. Not the kind of thing you want to experience when youre flying. No, no at all. Thats for sure, especially if youre flying this weekend, lets hope that does not happen to you and lets hope you have good weather. Lets get over to chad myers to look at the weekend forecast. How is it looking . A little bumpy. Looks a little bumpy in places. Exactly. Big storm moving into the west that will make Severe Weather in the plains for saturday and sunday. Heres what you have to deal with first. This big area of rain into new york city, 10 00 to midnight tonight. Into d. C. , somewhere around 8 00 tonight. So if you have evening plans keep that in mind. Windy in the plains if youre flying today. There will be some moderate turbulence out there. Keep that in mind. Its going to bumpy, especially out in the west. 62 in new york city. 69 in washington. Not as windy today as yesterday and not as windy today as tomorrow. Theres a storm right here. Heres today. 10 00 in the morning. Raining in detroit. Moves into pittsburgh. Eventually d. C. , thats 5 00, 6 00, just at the rush hour or just about later. There you go. No, new york, the rain coming in at midnight. By tomorrow afternoon its all gone. There is a lot of rain. I tell you what, chris, this is for you to wash away more of your pollen. I know how much you love it. Inch and a half of rainfall in some spots in the northeast. That will wash a lot of it out of the air and we like that. Ic my northwest nostril went on strike on wednesday. Theres the Severe Weather for saturday and it moves to the east on sunday. I, in fact will, be on an airplane to the midwest chasing the tornados this weekend. Get those nostrils working. I would say i hope you can stop in indiana but it doesnt look like its going to reach there and either way i dont want you anywhere near a storm so maybe you should get stuck here. My wife doesnt like it either. I know. Have a good weekend to everyone. Respect chad everett going there to make sure people are going if extreme weather hits and thinking of his buddy with the big nose that doesnt work when the pollen gets in it. Thats a problem, too. A lot of rain, usually warms up the ocean, that makes it better for fishermen. Got to see the positive. Especially on friday. Coming up on new day, the search for flight 370 is getting bigger, much bigger. But is bigger better . Ahead, ukraines Prime Minister accusing russia of plotting world war iii. The rhetoric kicking up this morning as the u. S. Continues to threaten new sanctions and with moscow planning more military drills is the violence about to escalate . [ banker ] sydney needed some Financial Guidance so she could take her dream to the next level. So we talked about her options. Her valuable assets were staying. And selling her car wouldnt fly. We helped sydney manage her debt and prioritize her goals, so she could really turn up the volume on her dreams today. And tomorrow. So lets see what we can do about that. Remodel. Motorcycle. [ female announcer ] some questions take more than a bank. They take a banker. Make a my financial priorities appointment today. Because when people talk, great things happen. Make a my financial priorities appointment today. train horn vo wherever our trains go, the economy comes to life. Norfolk southern. One line, infinite possibilities. The search for flight 370 is about to get bigger. Now the bluefin, mini sub, bluefin21 is almost 95 done with the underwater search in that focused area. Officials confirm theyre going toe to expand it. Joining us now with more, mary schiavo. Mar mary, good morning. We kind of suspected this, that this may happen. Good morning. They said this is an option. Theyre confirming this morning that theyre going to expand it in their statement, how they theyve described it, mary, is theyre going to continue to examine the areased a j ed a ja that radius around the second ping. Is that unusual or a typical next step . Its a little bit unusual because in this case these pings, these and handshakes, its interesting how our lexicon has changed, but thats all they have. They really have to expand this. The Prime Ministers interview with richard, he reenforced that. He emphasized that they believe that that is the area and thats where theyre going to continue to search. So really the next choice is their obvious step is they have to expand the area and go further to either side of that pathway of that arc and then also put some possibly deeper diving unmanned vehicles or even manned vehicles, underwater vehicles down to see whats in that last, you know, mile of the ocean that they could not reach with the bluefin. So it really is the only next step that they can take. Do you think maybe without them saying publicly that theyve already started asking other assets to move into the area, like the orion we know can dip deeper. If theyre in various parts of the world it could take a long time for this equipment to get into place. Oh, i believe they started asking some time ago because not only do you have to get the equipment and its not like this equipment is in warehouse. For example, theyre using this equipment on the ocean floor to secure oil pipelines, to make sure we dont have another spill and like in the gulf. They use these for communications conduits, et cetera. These are busy out there working, so i believe they started requesting these some time ago. Then they need support ships. Not only do they need the underwater vehicles but the crew to man the ships. When they moved in the u. S. Supply ship, the floating supermarket, i think thats when they started asking for these additional assets. I also want to get your take on Richard Quests exclusive interview with the Prime Minister. Its been so important and weve all been trying and waiting and wanting to hear from the Prime Minister himself throughout this entire search and investigation. He finally sits down with richard. And this morning and in one bit of the interview that richard brought to us, they discussed that that line, deliberate action in the cockpit. And what i took from that, mary, was that they dont seem any further along in their determination if it was nefarious, if it was mechanical, does that surprise you . No, it doesnt because all along as people have been prying and i think richards interview was great because it gave us so much information not just about where they are but inside the Prime Minister and what theyre thinking. But i think it confirms they just dont have any evidence of criminal activity and theyre searching to rule in or to rule out or to look for it. If they had any evidence of hard criminal activity, i think the Prime Minister would have said, yes, we have evidence of criminal activity because he wouldnt want to be out there, you know, being very, very vague at a time when hes been criticized by the families and others for not providing information. So i think they just dont have any information either way, really. One thing that the Prime Minister also discussed, richard also has asked him about the relationship with families and the fact that families do not believe they have been given any information or any of the information that they belie
