It comes to a more serious situation of a military threat. so basically, what mh 370 has actually given us some hope that we can cooperate, while at the same time we need to cooperate in a landscape that is much more complex when we see the issues relating to the mh370. and i think that is one paradigm shift that i noticed on the s.a. [ speaking foreign language ] >> okay. the last comment there i guess is a reference to the coordination that all of these countries, australia, new zealand, the united states, japan, singapore, obviously china has been deeply involved in the search. some critici...

A black box, not a problem for an r.o.v. to recover it back to the vessel. >> top priority for the investigators is to retrieve the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder. this r.o.v. can go to depths of around 10,000 feet but the r.o.v. that is brought to the wreckage of flight 370 could have to withstand the pressure of around 15,000 feet of water. underwater pulses were detected at that depth last week. and unlike the bluefin searchers are currently using, the r.o.v. is connected to the boat through a line called an umbilical and has a constant power source and can feed back in...

Suspicious packages, or ideas of crowds moving, which would be valuable. >> joining me, michael schmidt, who has been covering the bombing investigation for "the new york times." michael, welcome to you. we look at all these security measures. is there a consideration that it could have prevented last year's bombing had they been in place? >> look, any more security that they had last year certainly would have made a difference. but as we saw this week, the inspector generals for all the intelligence agencies in washington came out with a report that basically said on the investigative side le...

Interest here, that the airlines are owned by the malaysian government? >> well, and not untypically for many third world countries. they're flag carriers, state-owned or controlled by the state. so when a tragedy like this happens, this is a massive failure by the state itself. that leads to embarrassment. that leads to cover-up. and an unwillingness to ask for help because that's another sign of lack of capacity. so when you add all this together, i think it's marred the search from the beginning. but it's also a reason why the chinese keep coming up with helpful leads, quote, unquote, that ...
