3:00 pm
-- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com 6:00 eastern, 3:00 pacific this sunday. i'm poppy harlow in new york. we begin with the update for the search for malaysia flight mh-370. the part of a plane wing found in the indian ocean is indeed from a boeing 777. that much was confirmed today by malaysian officials. the plane disappeared last year with 239 people onboard, was also a boeing 777. the question everyone wants answered is this a piece of mh-370. investigators in toulouse france are working to identify the debris this week.
3:01 pm
the beaches on the island are being scoured for in i additional debris. a leading theory in the disappearance of malaysia flight mh-370 is someone deliberately steered the plane off course from the cockpit. now we're hearing of another possibility. a security breach that could have happened right under the pilot's feet. >> reporter: the washed-up debris still brings pilots no closer to a consensus on the greatest mystery of their profession. >> there's all kinds of theories. everybody has a different theory. >> reporter: u.s. intelligence agencies believe it's likely the plane was deliberately steered by someone in the cockpit. but retired united airlines pilot flew the 777 and trained about i lots on the jet at boeing. he says the debris launched a new round of speculation among his fellow pilots. among the theories a section of
3:02 pm
the aircraft known as the ee ebay or electronics bay may have been breached. what's in the electronics bay? >> this is basically the brain and heart of an aircraft. in case of a 777, which is a very highly electronic aircraft all the electronics that control the entire airplane are in that electronic bay. so this is the most important part of this aircraft. other than the engines. so every pilot that flies a 777 knows how to get down there. >> reporter: it's designed for maintenance access. but here you can manage all flight systems taking total control of the plane. we're not going to show you where the access is on the aircraft. but we will show you what's widely available on the internet. in this aviation video viewed tens of thousands of times online you can see in the bay various electronics, wires and green tanks. the concern floated by some
3:03 pm
pilots they say boeing manufactures and delivers a 777 with an unsecured access door. most of the airlines add a lock and the access is hidden. so only crew and perhaps some aviation enthusiasts would know how to get in. that's why a breach aboard mh-370 is something that pilots says is possible, but unlikely. investigators around the world found no immediate red flags from anyone onboard. more likely believes aimer a catastrophic fire or even that one of the crew perhaps the captain or co-pilot were somehow involved. >> one of the things that investigators do they never leave any stone unturned. they look at just about any possibility. >> reporter: cnn, los angeles. >> it is one of the theories being floated. let's talk about it with two pilots. thank you both gentlemen, for being here.
3:04 pm
les, you flied a 777. you talked a lot about this e & e compartment. do you think it could have been compromised on mh-370? >> anything can be on the table. but in order to get into that compartment from the cabin, you've got to disrupt cabin service, you've got to lift up a rug, it goes on and on. so somebody's going to notice this. and if you get in from outside the airplane the access is different. somebody may have noticed. i know malaysia may have some lax security procedures but there are procedures in the united states that you can know this that if somebody tried to gain access you would have to get a lot of people in there to gain access to an airplane and take it over in a hijacking situation. if you wanted to disable the systems on this airplane they have to -- you'd have to have a heck of a i.t. knowledge of what you were disabling, and to steer
3:05 pm
the airplane would require very -- you know mixssion impossible type knowledge. >> do you agree? >> it is possible when the plane took off there was somebody there. the fact that it's open is not a great idea. but from that room you have access to all of the circuit breakers for all the systems, including the circuit breaker for the cockpit door. if you pull that circuit breaker, the door is deenergized. and if it's deenergized, it fails to open. you don't want to lock the pilots in. you may not have to fly the airplane there when compromised. it is an achilles heel. it should be locked. the regulatory authorities should take a stand on this. >> let's talk about the report that came out late this week.
3:06 pm
reporting what u.s. intelligence has surmised. something that they put together in this preliminary assessment months ago, before the piece of boeing 777 washed up ashore this week. something that wasn't intended for the public to see. but it suggests that someone in the cockpit deliberately a caused the aircraft's movement to veer offcourse before it vanished. i want to be clear here because u.s. intelligence never said in this report that the plane was deliberately crashed, just that it was deliberately veered offcourse. why is that difference so important, les? >> we can go through virginia scenarios where somebody else was trying to control that airplane maybe for the purpose of getting it back to an alternate airport because of an emergency situation that they had. we don't have time to go over some of the scenarios. but indeed that's possible that somebody from the cabin that didn't suffer hypoxia situation, could have come up there and used the autopilot to steer the
3:07 pm
airplane. that scenario is definitely a possibility. but once again, anything is on the table. >> miles, when you look at the u.s. intelligence report, they only say somebody deliberately veered the plane offcourse, not that they crashed it. in your mind there's no question the plane was deliberately downed. why is that? >> there's just no way, poppy, and i know les will pick a bone with me on this but there's no way to pick up a scenario to cause all of the radar tracking communications systems to suddenly go blank at that convenient spot that spot during a handoff between the control of conversations. there's no scenario that allows you to claim a catastrophic enough event to allow the plane to fly that circuitous route for seven hours. it doesn't jibe. there was a deliberate action involved here. les is saying it was neshlly a response to an emergency
3:08 pm
situation. that is potentially the case except how do you explain it flew on for seven hours. >> les, how do you explain it? >> i've always disagreed with miles. i've looked at the mechanical aspects. i can explain the scenario that could have possibly shut down the systems and done weird things to the airplane. you know once again, miles and i are both speculating on this. so we have to respect each other's opinion in that regard. but i really -- i just don't see the purpose. i don't see anything that traces back to a nefarious act. >> 17 months later, and still so few answers. we don't even know if the parts washed up ashore is from the mh-370. i hope the family members get answers this week. les and miles, thank you both. >> you're welcome. to california now, two deadly wildfires raging out of control in california. coming up, a live report from the evacuation zone. a new season brings a new look. a chance to try something different. this summer, challenge your preconceptions

homeowners in california are nervously watching several wildfires this weekend, ready to evacuate their homes if they need to. the fire in sacramento doubled in size this weekend alone. stephanie elam is live in lake county california. this is the last thing the state of california dealing with that horrific drought needs. you've got the resources to fight the fires already stretched thin. what are they doing them to contain them at this hour? >> reporter: that's so true poppy. you're talking about the 21 wildfires burning across california. california has a unique system where they're able to work with each other across the state and get resources where they need them. but still, that doesn't help when you just have fires burning all over the place. we have now arrived in lake county where this rocky fire is
3:13 pm
burning. this fire started wednesday afternoon. and it has ballooned overnight here. it went from the low 20,000 acreage area to now being about 47,000 acreage area. a massive fire is how cal fire is describing this fire as it is threatening some 3,000 people. they have 2,000 firefighters working to stop this fire. but take a look behind me. we came around the ridge after we came out of a little mountain range here and you could see that smoke there. we saw a big plume going up into the sky. it is now dissipating into this big massive helicopter that i can see dropping way out there. you may not be able to see it. it is dropping water right now, or fire retardant on this area. but because of this there are some massive evacuations affecting thousands of people. as this fire continues to burn. and one thing that's really different about this fire is the fact that it is burning -- it burned overnight to this big
3:14 pm
expansive ballooning number of acreage. that is weird, because normally at night the humidity rises the temperature cools off, it's not as easy for the fire to burn. but because it didn't do that this is weird, and the main reason that is a problem is because of the drought. and the drought has just left everything so brittly dry here there's so am kindling so much reason for the fire to keep on burning, it's continued to use that as fuel to burn more and more acreage. the drought has been lingering year after year that is the reason why it is so difficult for those folks who are out here fighting fires. and if you see one other thing, see how my clothes are blowing in the wind? that's the other problem. it's so windy out here it's easy for the fire to go from one branch to the next and keep on burning. we'll see if we can get closer. but that is the big bulk of it there, you can see, is from that rocky fire. >> stephanie elam reporting right near the evacuation zone.
3:15 pm
stephanie, thank you very much. huge fires on another continent. these are out of australia. firefighters there battling a huge brush fire in new south wales blue mountains n that part of australia. rain helped them get it a little bit under control. it is feared the very difficult terrain will keep these fires going for days and davis. just incredible images there. switching gears to politics now. tomorrow the white house sets in motion the most aggressive nationwide climate change program yet. the so-called clean power plan typical as a lot of them looking at what the white house just released. not everyone is happy about it. you've already got republican backlash. also executives in the energy business aren't going to be thrilled about this. let's talk about it here. walk us through it here. this is an extensive list coming out late this afternoon from the white house. >> that's right, poppy. i want to first tell you the contours of the plan that will be announced by the president here at the white house tomorrow. the plan calls for new
3:16 pm
regulations on coal-burning power plants with the goal they say, of reducing carbon emissions by 32% over the next 15 years. it would set carbon pollution levels for states. the white house is already touting that there are potentially big benefits including a boost in public health. also potentially job creation with investment in the clean energy technology. but as you said even before this rule was announced, it was definitely getting some pushback. some states promising to fight the administration and potentially bring the administration to court. it seems the white house is aware of this likely big pushback that they'll receive to these new rules. they're already out and promising an all-out push to sell this deal. president obama in a video released on social media from the white house overnight already pushing the benefits. >> climate change is not a problem for another generation not anymore.
3:17 pm
on monday my administration will release my own version of the clean power plant. the biggest most important step we've ever taken to combat climate change. >> there are many groups that dispute all these benefits that the white house is touting. many critics saying it could potentially increase electricity prices. what marco rubio, who today lashed out against the potential proposals, he said that this does not address the underlying issues. here's rubio in california today. >> tomorrow there will be a new carbon rule issued by the epa. and here's the practical impact of the new carbon rule. it will make utilities, it will make the cost of electricity higher for millions of americans. so if there's a billionaire somewhere that is a pro-cap and trade person they can probably afford for their electric bill to go up a couple hundred dollars. but if you're a single mom, that is catastrophic. >> with all this pushback the
3:18 pm
white house put president obama on the road in the next few weeks to sell this deal. he already has plans later this month to speak at the national clean energy summit in nevada. he'll also travel to alaska. he'll be the first sitting president to travel to the alaskan arctic. there's a lot of political and potentially legal challenges ahead for them. >> huge hurdles ahead, no doubt. and the summit in paris in december. let's talk about this in the framework of the president's legacy. you have seen this president in the last six months you know, just not holding back. this is a huge thing to take on. huge money, huge power lobbyists on the other side here. this is what he's saying like with immigration and other things who cares, we're going for it. >> yeah. that's probably what is going on behind closed doors. we don't know for sure but we know senior administration official telling us earlier today this is one of the biggest issues on his plate right now. certainly a deal has been
3:19 pm
elusive. he knows what he's coming up against. i feel like -- i get a sense from the white house the way they pushed out this announcement they're ready to take this on. as they say, in their words, putting an all-out climate push over the august recess. they will fan out, not only send president obama out, but members of the cabinet to get into the district. really educate people on the terms of this proposal. and then wait for congress to return in the fall. poppy? >> thank you very much. coming up next right here in new york a huge outbreak of legionnaires' disease in the south bronx. what the health officials are doing to try to prevent the outbreak from spreading even more after four lives have been claimed. when i lay in my tempur-pedic contour, then i slowly feel it start to kind of wrap itself around me... my mind just goes kind of blank- and the next thing i know it's morning. with tempur-flex you've got the spring and bounce of a traditional mattress and it also adjusts to my body. my cloud feels so comfortable.

four people have died in new york city after getting legionnaires' disease. it is a respiratory infection that has flu-like symptoms. tara has been looking into why this is happening in the south bronx in new york. we've got dozens of other cases reported. 65 people? >> 65 people have contracted this disease. 55 of them hospitalized as you mentioned four of them died. they had preexisting conditions but really affecting this neighborhood in the south bronx. now investigators and epidemiologists trying to figure out how it started.
3:24 pm
daniel te hada spent nearly a month in a medically induced coma in a new york hospital because of ledge air's disease. >> i was going to wait one more day to go to the hospital. if i waited one more day, i don't think i would be out here right now. >> reporter: it's caused 65 people to get sick since july. four all with preexisting conditions died. >> the cdc needs to come in this community. >> reporter: residents of the south bronx are calling for more action as health officials say the outbreak could get worse before it gets better. >> we think it's very possible that there will be an increase in cases over the next seven days. >> reporter: named after an outbreak in the '70s that made a group of american legion workers ill, legionnaires' is a disease with flu-like symptoms. the bacteria flows through water mist like air conditioners or cooling towers. five buildings in the south
3:25 pm
bronx have been thoroughly decontaminated in an attempt to contain the spread. meanwhile, residents are warned to seek help at the first sign of illness. >> we thought it was just regular pneumonia, you know. got sick. we thought it was legionnaires'. that's when everybody got into a panic. >> people do get it but the outbreak here doctors say, is significant because so many people have gotten it in such a short amount of time. new york health officials emphasizing not to panic, this isn't something you can get through the drinking water or pools or water fountains. especially in the summer right, you think of water as transmitted by water. not something you can get by pools or fountains in new york city or even the drinking water. so not to panic. they're looking for ways to make sure the cooling systems, the towers you know they make sure that they're healthy and safe moving forward. and people with concerns in that community should know there is going to be a town hall meeting tomorrow night. >> as you said you can't
3:26 pm
contract it from someone else. >> you can't contract it from someone else or through drinking water. it's mostly transmitted through mist. you're breathing in the mist from like say an air conditioning unit or cooling towers within a building. >> thank you for the reporting. i hope they get it under control soon. coming up next still no sign of the minnesota dentist who shot cecil the lion on what officials call an illegal hunt. what is next for cecil's cubs and the other lions call that part home? details from johannesburg ahead. force

what do a nascar® driver... a comedian... and a professional golfer have in common? we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto®. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more ea sily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleedin g, unusual bruising or tingling.
3:28 pm
if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not tak e xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto® tell your doctor about any kidney liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

man responsible for gunning down cecil the lion in zimbabwe. walter palmer a dentist from minnesota, has gone into hiding since he killed the beloved lion. he insists the hunt was legal, but zimbabwe said he broke the
3:30 pm
law by luring the lion out of the park for killing him. meanwhile, wildlife authorities in zimbabwe are talking about false reports on jericho that a lion in cecil's pride was killed. jericho is indeed still alive. this is a photograph of jericho taken this morning by an oxford researcher tracking him using a gps tag. cnn's david mckenzie is in johannesburg this evening. >> reporter: any reports that jericho lion was killed by a hunter turned out to be false. in fact the group that put out that information has since apologized. and the oxford university research group that tracks these lions say he is doing just fine. now, zimbabwe has appeared to have tightened up on hunting in the country. they banned all kinds of hunting on the borders of the park for big cats and other large game. they banned bow hunting
3:31 pm
outright. it is with a bow that dr. palmer shot cecil last month causing this global outcry. he said he did nothing illegal. but officials are trying to extradite him, face charges from the u.s. to zimbabwe. that might be a tall order according to experts. the guide and hunter that he hired to kill cecil, though face charges this week in zimbabwe and could spend ten years in jail if found guilty. david mckenzie, cnn, johannesburg. >> david, thank you for that. cecil's killing has sparked international outcry. huge petitions signed by more than 200,000 people to have dr. palmer extradited. there's also concern about the safety of the cubs that cecil left behind. dave joins me now on the phone, animal planet's large predator expert. why is it believed by so many that jericho, who is very close, but not blood brother, if you will of cecil, is protecting
3:32 pm
cecil's cubs? why would that happen? >> typically a younger age, when a young male gets kicked out of a pride they go on what they call a nomadic phase. and on that phase cecil and jericho met up and formed what we call a coalition. the reason they do that is they can hunt better and protect themselves better. and when it comes the right time and the right size they're able to take over a pride together. so that's why jericho -- jericho formed an alliance with cecil. they're not quite sure whose cubs are whose. in general, a lot of male lions will protect all the cubs in a pride. >> so knowing what you know now about jericho's close relationship with cecil, do you believe the cubs will indeed survive if they have jericho overseeing them? >> the cub survival is a lot
3:33 pm
more in jep ar ti than it would have been. obviously at some point, jericho's going to come across new males. but a group of males of two or three or more decide to come in and want to take cecil's pride, jericho's a single male now. he doesn't have a brother with him helping him fight. so unfortunately, he has very little chance of fighting off any other coalition. if jericho doesn't have any real pressure around his pride over the next year and a half meaning any single males coming or two younger males that aren't quite as big and experienced as him, jericho might be able to fight them off to the point where the cubs get old enough they can just run away. at a certain point around 2 to 2 1/2, those cubs are going to be smart enough to hunt on their own, and big enough to stay away from any other males threatening them. also they're not going to be nursing, so they will be less likely to be a problem for the

donald trump has fired plenty of people on his show the "apprentice." now he's doing it with a member of his own campaign staff, after learning he posted a facebook post. the staffer who wrote the post in 2007 and 2009 business insider was the first to report the posts. one of them called civil rights leader al sharpton's daughter the "n" word. the other one called president obama, and i quote here a socialist marxist islamo fascist nazi appeaser. he said anything posted under my name doesn't mean i posted it. i'm not adept at social media. i have a long record of working with diverse people and anything you are reporting on does not reflect anything on mr. trump or mr. trump's campaign. joining me to discuss it mel robbins. you know robin trump, you've
3:39 pm
delivered speeches for trump corporation. how is his demeanor with his staff? >> how is donald trump's demeanor with his staff? it's exactly what you see on television poppy. what you see, in terms of donald trump is exactly who he is. he's right up-front. he communicates in an extremely deliberate staccato forceful manner. he knows where he stands and is not afraid to say it. the thing about this particular story we're discussing is not the fact that some staffer had something in his past in terms of social media, but how quickly donald trump immediately fired the guy, and will probably figure out a way to make this look like a strength move on his behalf rather than a weakness. >> the campaign said this is not a senior staffer, a low-level staffer on the campaign. they keep focusing on that. i do want to get your take on this. on the state of the union today with jake tapper jake sat down with chris christie another gop
3:40 pm
hopeful and asked chris christie about donald trump. here's what chris christie had to say. >> listen i think that donald is going to be a serious as candidate as donald wants to be. he's going to determine through the depth of his answers, and the seriousness of his answers, whether he's a serious candidate or he isn't. that's what i mean about campaigns matter. anybody can do well for a month in this business. especially if you have talent and you have personality. donald has both those things. let's see how it goes. >> that's pretty nice compared to what rand paul said to wolf blitzer on thursday. this is a quote, temporary loss of sanity. he went on to say, eventually we'll look for somebody serious to lead the country, mel. what do you make of the -- >> rand paul's got nothing to lose. he's not doing well in any poll. he might as well swing for the fences in attacking donald. now, christie is smart.
3:41 pm
one of the things you don't want to do is pick a final with donald trump because he will go on the attack. what is most interesting as an independent voter, as somebody who knows donald trump, in a professional setting, i don't see eye to eye with him on most political issues however, i have great respect for him as a business person. but i think the really fascinating thing to watch is the fact that the republican party has a huge issue on their hands. because donald is running away in the polls. and the problem is if they don't get behind him, or if he happens to fall into second place, there's a very serious possibility that he could go independent. he's already been talking about this. >> right. >> that would be the biggest threat to jeb bush or anybody else that happens to beat him at some stage in the primary, poppy. >> right. they do not want that. let me ask you about this. big retreat in california this week a big name there, the koch brothers. huge huge billionaires big republican donors.
3:42 pm
charles koch said and i want to read the quote here faulking about the direction of this country, we're headed to a two-tiered society, a society that is destroying opportunities for the disadvantaged and creating wealth for the rich. creating a permanent underclass crippling our economy. and he went on to talk about the big banks getting bailouts. this is something you might expect to hear from a bernie sanders, not a charles koch. i wonder what you think what it means about the race and this party? >> did they ask him that after he had a few cocktails? he's been funding super pacs that do nothing but support candidates that are increasing the gap between the america's 1% and the rest of you know the united states. so you know honestly poppy, i think there are so many americans that don't really identify with either party, that are fiscally conservative that are socially liberal, that are for individual rights. and while there are things that some republicans say that may be
3:43 pm
appealing on an economic standpoint or some sort of fill philosophical, there are things they're saying that are completely offensive. some folks unlike even four years ago, are going to look hard at what the individuals stand for. what i've seen over and over again, whether it's in private conversations or watching the interviews with folks like you were doing with people is what people like about donald trump is the fact that he is a fighter. the fact that his brand represents success. and he is a master at branding. and his entire campaign is about making america great again. and i think a lot of people are buying into it poppy. >> a lot of people are going to be watching on thursday night as he is part of that first gop debate. mel robbins, thank you. >> sure. coming up next the hunt for a young mother on the run.
