Why gm waited 13 years to fix an ignition problem linked to at least 13 deaths. People who lost Family Members are in washington to attend the hearings. Last night some of them met face to face with gms ceo mary barra. Jeff glor is on capitol hill where the first hearings begin a little later today. Jeff, good morning. Good morning. And good morning to our viewers in the west. 13 Family Members met with mary barra, the first time thats happened since the recalls began. Mary barra heard Family Member tell stories about lost loved ones. Natasha was lost in a cobalt in 2006. They heard the word sorry. Were comforted to know she feels that way but, you know it was a big mistake here and its going to take more than sorry to correct it. We need to make n impact and tell gm that they need to own up to their mistakes. Reporter in prepare edd testimony today, barra will say, quote, i cannot tell you why it took years for a safety defect to be announced, but i can tell you that we will find out. The national Highway Traffic Safety Administration or nhtsa, criticized for not demanding a recall, will put the blame on gm today. Quote, the agency examined the available information multiple times. Gm had critical information that would have helped identify this defect. That defect is a faulty ignition switch, which can suddenly shut the engine off, disabling power steering, power brakes seat belts and air bags. Nhtsa says they didnt know the air bags wouldnt deploy when the ignition switch is in the accessory position because gm didnt tell them. What i believe gm should do is stop lying and im here with my husband because we dont want this to happen to another family. Reporter gm first noticed a problem in 2001.

Holly williams is at the air force base near perth where the crews are taking up. Shes got the First Complete account of communications between the Malaysian Airlines crew and ground controllers. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning. Today, the malaysian authorities released this full transcript of communications between flight 370 and air Traffic Control before the plane disappeared. Now they say theres nothing abnormal here. However, they have abrupt thely changed their account of the planes final sign off from all right, good night, which is technically incorrect to good night malaysian three seven zero, the correct signoff. That has angered the families of those on board who feel they are still not getting the truth and are still frustrated. Three weeks after the plane went down, still no wreckage has been found. At Stirling Naval base latest ship to join the search for flight 370, off australias west coast nine other ships have begun retrieving objects spotted by air search planes but so far have found only garbage. Head of the u. S. Navy salvage operations. His team is tasked with finding the boeing 777s black boxes using statetheoftheart equipment. Realistically what are the chances of finding the wreckage now . Whats important is finding the surface wreckage. Without finding that debris we would be depending on luck more than skill or competency to find the wreckage of the aircraft. Reporter but a boeing 777 is pretty big. How can it just go missing . Its big when youre standing next to it. However when youre compareing it to the size of the ocean, its relatively small. Reporter captain matthews told us hes racing against the clock because of the beacons on the planes black boxes which emit an electronic signal may just have one week of battery life left perhaps two. If you cant find the flight recorders in the next two weeks, does that mean that the plane may never be found . That is certainly a possibility. The pingers allow us to detect it at greater ranges. If they are no longer emiting, it will be much more difficult to find and much more time consuming to do those searches. Reporter that possibility is obviously upsetting for the families of those who were on board. The malaysian authorities will hold a closed door meeting with them tomorrow to try to resolve some of their concerns. Charlie . Holly, thanks. President obama will speak today about a turning point for the healthcare law. The governments midnight deadline to sign up for insurance came and went. This morning healthcare. Gov confirms open enrollment for 2014 is closed. Customers flooded the website all day monday in spite of more technical problems. Jan crawford is in washington where white house officials are thrilled with the lastminute search. Good morning. Good morning. Charlie and norah. As that website launched it looked like there was no way they were going to get 100,000 people to sign up much less 6 or 7 million, which they say theyre now close to. After all that struggle to get there, wouldnt you know things yesterday ended up a lot like they started, with computer problems. The line stretched out the door as people rushed to beat the clock. A midnight deadline monday to sign up for health care. I didnt think it was that important. Now i found out it was that important. I have to get my paperwork together. It was a bit of a mission. Reporter hundreds of thousands of americans were on that same mission. Driving the beleaguered website to capacity and jamming phone lines. Throughout the day people trying to enroll online instead were sent to a virtual waiting room, where they could leave an email address to be contacted later. Theres a problem like this that gets addressed and addressed quickly. Reporter White House Press secretary jay carney put on a positive spin, trying to shift focus away from the latest snafus while acknowledging the disastrous launch. Theres been a remarkable story since the dark days of october and november which has resulted in a situation where were looking at a number of substantially larger than 6 Million People enrolled. Reporter of course in those early months the website barely worked at all, giving ammunition to republicans who said the white house wasnt up to the task of running a website, let alone healthcare. The latest numbers suggest the Obama Administrations hard push to make up for that lost ground might have paid off. Have you heard of the Affordable Care act . Yeah. Thats the thing that doesnt work. Reporter enrollment jumped after president obama in a calculated move to appeal to young people appeared on the internet show between two ferns and mondays pitch also aimed at the young was complete with celebrity tweets and endorsement from the first dogs and daytime talk show appearance by Vice President biden. I think everyone is going to be really surprised and pleased how well this has turned out. Reporter officials who say people who tried but failed to enroll will get until mid april to finish. Weve been having trouble getting in. But i guess i have an account so im in the queue. Also giving people a little more time to sign up. California, for example, giving people until the middle of this month. It will be a while until we know just how many of the people who signed up were actually were uninsured and how many were young and healthy. Then, of course comes the real test. How is this system going to work once everybody starts trying to use their new insurance . Jan, thanks. Joining us now, bill daley. Do you believe when he says it will be considered a monumental achievement . I dont think theres any question that time is on the president s side and the rush at the end of the signup period indicates that the American People do we know that there are plenty of people who are uninsured and after the challenges of signing up and fumbling to the finish line yesterday, i think time is on his side. And i do think that over time when the American People get to understand the benefits from having a system that insures more people and make sure that the costs do come down thats a big question over time will be quite a statement for this Administration Long term. But these are a lot of hurdles still to go over. And as shown yesterday, in spite of all of the positives, were talking today about another glitch, another stumble, which is unfortunate. You know, you hit the nail on the head which is the idea that if you get everybody insured and if you get more young people buying insurance, the idea is that it will lower costs for all of us. We all agree that Health Care Costs are out of control. What about then news that still comes up that premium hikes continue to go up . Well i think thats the 64,000 question for most people. What will their premiums be over time . I think theres an expectation that if you continue to see young people sign up and this is the first year of this. So weve got to see an acceptance by young people in the theory that they insure themselves and they pay for that, in spite of a difficult economy where a lot of people even small amounts of money is a challenge for some people to pay. So i think youre going to see, norah, over time a continuing emphasis by the administration the benefits especially to young people to be in a system. And those of us who are a little older will hopefully reap the benefits from having a system that is very much being paid for by the healthier people and younger people in society. But thats a big challenge. And this is the first step in a very long road for the Affordable Care act. But for politicians now is the future 2014 when theyre running. Whats that going to mean for democrats . I think there remains over the next several months a tremendous challenge for democrats to explain, obviously, 7 Million People went online and signed up. And those 7 Million People obviously, must have a good feeling about it. I think its quite a challenge in the next several months to turn around the negative attitude about the aca that seems to be out there. But thats a challenge that again, this is a game as we said last fall when this thing started and there were all sorts of stumbles, that right now the administration has to hit singles and doubles and not go for the wall in any way since opening day was yesterday, i thought baseball was a good analogy. But i really do believe this is a long game. And those who talk about repealing, its not going to happen. First of all, whatever happen this is fall the president has a veto. So, thats not going to happen a repeal. Maybe changes, maybe improvement over time. As the president said there should be. Politically speaking in the next seven months this is an enormous challenge. Thank you so much bill. The governor of Washington State is asking president obama for a major disaster declaration this morning after the massive mudslide. It would mean federal aid for victims of the 10 million catastrophe in oso. 24 people are now confirmed dead. Monday a dozen players from the Seattle Seahawks and sounder soccer team traveled to the area. Pilots failed to maintain a safe speed before a crash at the San Francisco airport in july slammed into a sea wall spun and skidded on to the runway. Three people were killed in the disaster. Documents released monday by government safety regulators and boeing rejects that claim saying the jet performed properly. North and south korea are trading insults one day after trading artillery fire in the yellow sea. Park gueynhye. North korean newspaper called park quote, an eccentric old spinster and a frog in a well. Park condemned the north for what she called expressions even street ruffians would refrain from. The Obama Administration is reported considering releasing convicted spy john pollard, for salvaging mid eastern peace talks. He is serving a life sentence in North Carolina for spieg for israel. His release would apparently be in return for concessions from israel. If released he could be set free as early as next year. White house is not commenting this morning.
