1:00 am
preventing them from actually crossing into the area where this trucks are entering into gaza. but still these protesters are going on a regular basis spending hours trying to the skirmish and outmaneuver the police. and what's interesting wolf is, according to a recent poll done by israel's top polling institution, the israel democratic democracy institution, sum 68% of jewish israelis believe as these protesters, due to that international aid should not be able to get into gaza. wolf, >> clarissa ward reporting for us from jerusalem. clarissa, thank you very much into our viewers. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. the news continues next on cnn >> tonight on 360, the race is on two presidential candidates it's two very different campaign days after the state
1:01 am
of the union. and what that says about the race ahead also tonight with three days to spare the former president comes out with the nearly 92 million in dollar bond in one civil case. we'll tell you how he did it and the question is, can he do the same for the other nearly half a billion-dollar judgment and a day after president biden committed to building a port to bring aid in the gaza, look at just how long that might take in corresponded course awards, confrontation with israeli is trying to block any aid from getting in. good evening. thanks for joining us. we begin tonight, keeping them honest with how president biden and the man last night he called my predecessor spent their day after the state of the union. it was a study of contrasts president biden went on the campaign trail speaking this evening at a suburban philadelphia middle school, hitting many of the themes he laid out last night. but with one difference, he named his opponent donald trump with the maga republicans are trying to take away our freedoms. that's not an exaggeration >> well, guess what? we will not let him the president today
1:02 am
doing what incumbent presidents do, where they do it campaigning in a >> swing state, trying to build on them momentum. he established last night by contrast, and far from typical the foreign president did the following. today, he paid nearly $92 million bond to the e jean carroll defamation trial. he lost and appeal the judgment more on that shortly. he also installed his daughter-in-law as co-chair of the republican national committee. the former president closed out his post. state of the union day at mar-a-lago, just in the last few hours, hosting hungary's right-wing authoritarian prime minister viktor orban. a strong man for which the former president doesn't seem to be a pejorative cnn's kristen holmes starts us off tonight with more on viktor orban's visit at mar-a-lago. so what is going on with this meeting will interest that is a very good question. then i just heard from a sources of the actual sit-down meeting was about 45 minutes to an hour and then the two the went to listen to a tribute band at mar-a-lago for part of
1:03 am
a members only evening. the source described them as friends and the meeting is friendly. know, i was told we were going to get a actual readout of this meet again, photos from it, but we have not seen anything like that. they had described to me as a social meeting, essentially saying that the two men were willing to sit down with no agenda. but of course, if you have the leader of hungary, viktor orban and donald trump seems strange that there would be no agenda, but have to remember what think donald trump for all intents and purposes is civilians, they are not obligated to give us any sort of readout or discuss anything. take notes, take any kind of transcript with a leader of another their nation, but it does give us some insight into whether or not donald trump would align himself with the viktor orbans of the world if you were to be reelected to the white house, which is of course what he's seeking to do. he has routinely praised or ban on the campaign trail. he has said that the strong man, but that's countries need a strong man to lead. they also are almost exactly politically aligned when it comes to immigration.
1:04 am
they've both talked about building a wall. they have both lashed out at a free press, calling it fake news. so again, part of the significance here is the fact that donald trump himself, this might give a preview as to what it would look like if you were re-elected to the white house in november, it's also striking coming the day after the state of the union were frozen. biden talked about the need to strengthen democratic institutions, but to strengthen nato, did the trump campaign intentionally? want to have that contrast by having him meet with his notorious strong man >> i am told this was actually a coincidence that it came at the request of viktor orban. so just to show how strange this whole thing is, the white house to order any sort of or issue any sort of formal invitation to or ban orban did not reach out to the white house for any sort of official meeting with joe biden instead, he reached out to the trump campaign and tried to get an audience with donald trump. and i am told that he was here in the us. he did a forum with the conservative think tank
1:05 am
heritage, and then he tried to get on donald trump's schedule. and then in fact, did when they want to point out and we'll talk a lot about how they have similar polarities and their policy. what can they routinely do is praise each other on the campaign trail, they have said both of them that donald trump if he was still in the white house, putin wouldn't have invaded ukraine. they have praised each other's policies and their behavior that goes along way with the former president, that kind of loyalty and praised particularly clearly when we know that a lot of world leaders have not, have not praised donald trump in fact, have turned shunned him in certain ways this is the kind of thing donald trump relies on, and that's probably why he took this meeting on this day >> kristen holmes. thank you. and beyond just the former president, the entire republican party seems to have settled on the line. the president biden politicize the state of the union last night, which is some extent is undeniable, but also not unique in modern times perspective now from adam kinzinger, former illinois republican congressman your time senior political correspondent, maggie haberman, congressman, i mean, some of
1:06 am
your former republican colleagues are complaining it was too partisan for the hallowed house chamber. does that strike you as just kind of bizarre given the prior administration and the behavior of people like marjorie taylor greene yeah, absolutely. i mean, look, she wore a maga hat on the floor violation of the house rules as if she cares about that, might be fined or warned. >> you think >> back to the president and doing, i forget which one thing it was, but he did like straight up campaign events at the white house, contrary to what's been done in the past, this the guy that politicizes everything, what this says to me. and it was a political speech and i think given kind of normal times, i probably would have been a little critical of the tone of it, but this isn't normal times. i mean, donald trump is out there continuing to spread lies about january 6, about ukraine, about everything else. and the president had to do this. and he also showed what this shows me anderson is that it was a really good speech for them to have to now turn around and
1:07 am
focus on the fact that it was political because they had all their talking points set for joe biden is unable to govern. he can't speak or whatever and he showed quite the opposite of that. >> megi, >> drought pointed last point in particular, i mean, it does seem somewhat thin gruel that that clearly the talking points were all set for. oh, you know, he's stumbling on this. he can barely speak when clearly you know, certainly from the democrats perspective, last night he did quite well the former president has never been really successful. it's setting expectations for joe biden. he consistently sets the bar down on the floor and then the president steps over it and i think that's what you saw again last night. i also think that for the biden team they're feeling is that the president was speaking to reality both about january 6 and about the border bill and what happened and about the need for funding for ukraine and what will happen if there is an unfettered russia. and so they don't see this as a partisan speech. i understand that
1:08 am
that's been the criticism, but to the congressman's 0.1 of the first people with the president so when he got to the chamber, was congresswoman greene, a maga hat, who was very clearly trying to make a statement neither party is exempt from criticisms of politicization, but that was a clear stunned. >> and maggie, the foreign president, as we mentioned, got a bond for the e jean carroll verdict. do you know what his options are for the half $1 billion bond and the civil fraud trial well they're not good. >> certainly. and we know that they have been having a hard time. they had a hard time getting both of both bonds. they cleared one with the e jean carroll case, which is a smaller amount by a lot. he has he has a hill to climb in terms of getting a bond for this other judgment which she's almost half $1 his options are a lending institution is options are selling an asset. he, he does have options but they're not grade and his folks would much rather have somebody bond him than him have to put
1:09 am
up the money himself while they're appealing and congressman kinzinger, i mean, the foreign prison, what do you think he's trying to signal by hosting viktor orban of all people at mar-a-lago. and obviously he's been praising him for a long time now as tucker carlson yeah. i mean, look, it's worth remembering. he called viktor orban, the president of turkey at one point. so let's remember that, but no, i mean, look, this is viktor orban has become almost like bukele and el salvador, some meme for the right in terms of strength, you see that he flirts around with almost endorsing putin donald trump does, and viktor orban as a strongman, that since he's in nato and since he's european, donald trump can just outright embrace and that's what he's doing. he's signaling to the base and the republican party that somehow think a strongman like this is good and really all just has to do with making the left mad. that's what he's doing. he's signaling that this is really bad. viktor orban, all you have to do is watch anytime aid for ukraine
1:10 am
comes up in the eu, for instance, they always block it until they get some payoff on the side. or even sweden's accession into nato was delayed because viktor orban, turkey, i mean, hungry finally came around and accepted sweden, but he's been very clearly sympathetic to vladimir putin and russia. and i think donald trump wants to signal that to his base, omega. >> we heard from kristen holmes just a second ago that it was orban who was reaching out to the folks at mar-a-lago to try to get on the presidency schedule from the former president's standpoint, it certainly seems to have been not only just a meeting in the minds, but also makes sense to have a contrast with the current president yeah, i think there's a bunch of things going on. anderson. it's also worth remembering that the former president hosted viktor orban at the white house in 2019. this is not some new relationship. the former president has certainly ratcheted it up and his speeches, including praising him as a strongman, that, that
1:11 am
we have not seen before. i think that it lets the former president look as if he's on parity with the current president by hosting another country's leader. i do think that it is consistent with the message that we have seen him deliver the brain, which has been anti-immigrant. i think they have both used messaging about immigrants that has been widely criticized as echoing fascists. and so it's not surprising that they're meeting. i don't know that there is some greater aim for trump other than what he's been doing all along. but i think anything that can let trump use the trappings of the office he wants held to look as if he is an equal incumbent to the actual incumbent president is in his mind a good thing. >> and maggie haberman, adam kinzinger. thank you much more now on how republicans are continuing to react to their own official state of the union response is delivered by the alabama senator katie britt to think about what the american dream can do across just one generation in chest, one
1:12 am
lifetime. it's truly breathtaking but right now, the american dream has turned into a nightmare for >> so many families the true unvarnished state of our union begins and ends with this our families are hurting our country can do better >> well, senator britt's delivery drew comments from the stars. so to the choice of putting an accomplished senator who serves on the powerful appropriations and rules committee, the youngest republican woman ever elected to the senate after a vicious contest. in a kitchen. fellow alabama senator tommy tuberville tried to spin that as a virtue. i have and post political reporter quoting him as saying, she was picked as a housewife. he also told newsweek quote, i thought she did good. i mean, what else you're going to do? other republicans weren't said charitable gop pollster christine matthews tweeted this
1:13 am
out today, quoting now, not sure who's green idea was to put a us center in the kitchen to deliver the response the state of the union. in the panel work i've done with swing women's since 2014, we've tested as like this. i women talking health care in the kitchen and adjusts it's women voters off cnn's melanie zanona. it's been talking to republican sources. she joins us now, what are you hearing from gop lawmakers >> well, the reviews were really mixed inside the gop. i mean, there was universal excitement, i would say but the choice of katie britt, she is young, she is a conservative, she is a woman. she was really seen as a rising star inside the gop, but some republicans were really baffled not only by the setting which was in a kitchen, but also by her delivery, which was very dramatic and halting at times to just not how she normally talks. here's what one gop lawmaker told me using some rather colorful language to criticize the speech. they told me who thought this was a good idea? if this is our attempt to get suburban women good effing luck with that i thought both the so2 and the rebuttal were unwatchable. we continue to
1:14 am
have a woman problem, just keeps shooting ourselves in the face. and meanwhile, another senior gop aide told me that it was difficult to watch but also noted that these things are notoriously tricky. they said, it's an impossible task. the pro tip is just never do the state of the union response. it never goes well for anyone, but there were plenty of other republicans and even some democrats who had nothing but praise for katie britt and defended her performance. take a listen. >> i think it's a really it's a really tough job and anti-college. her message was right on. i wish she had a little bit more trumpism in there as well. so we will see, i love katie britt. she's a great colleague. and that's a really hard job. i thought she she did find and other republicans we talked to said they really loved the message and what she had to say, even if not ever be loved, the delivery. and they said she still has a bright future. inside the party, anderson, it's usually because she made a video right before she did the saved the union, which she was talking normally, and had she just talked normally i
1:15 am
don't think there would be all this kerfuffle. it was the sort of a drama school delivery or like the regional theater audition delivery of it. that was sort of so captivating. lee bizarre or bizarrely captivating what is it clear why the center is kitsch? i mean, i guess i mean, i know why the centers kitchen was chosen as the venue for her speech. do you know like was there a lot of coaching involved? do we know anything about it? >> yeah. there's definitely a lot of preparation that went into it. obviously, the kitchen was a choice. they really wanted to portray an image of a working mom. she even posted a picture last night with her entire family surrounding the kitchen table and said our future starts with moms and dads like, you so clearly trying to appeal to suburban moms, in particular and don't forget that this comes on the wake of the controversial ruling in her home state of alabama on ivf, which schermerhorn that frozen embryos are people and has had a real chilling effect on fertility clinics. but a lot of people really found those optics off-putting and said it really only reinforced the
1:16 am
stereotype of women belonging in the kitchen. but for her part, her team is defending the speech she said it was fiery and passionate and said it was a stark contrast with president biden anderson. >> thanks so much coming up next, how the former president made the payment deadline barely in his defamation case, we've talked about a little bit with maggie and authors andrew weissman and melissa murray, who are just out with a new book explaining the four criminal cases and 91 criminal charges. he also faces later seen as clarissa ward at the crossing where humanitarian aid is trying to get into gaza from israel and the israelis. she spoke to who are trying to stop it long after guests leave viruses and bacteria lingers. air fresheners at ascent, but only lysol air sanitizer helps erase the trace, eliminating odor and killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria here sent can't sanitizer lysol can, and important message for americans age 50 to 85 my gosh, you're still using mom's old coffee

1:21 am
underwriter of this ban? there were a lot of questions of whether he would be able to get someone to step in given questions about his finances. so we learned at this big global insurance company, chubb, was the ones that underwrote the bond. and we learned that trump sign this bond on tuesday of this week. he was still at that point asking the judge in this case for more time. and as you can see right there, that says signature what we didn't learn from this is what trump put up to secure the bond. did he give them? cash, stocks, bonds, some properties that is not clear in these papers. so the judge overseeing this case has given e. jean carroll's team until monday morning to say if they're okay with this, if they have any issues with the ban as has been posted, and if there are any disagreements, the judge wants everyone back in court monday afternoon. >> what about the half $1 billion? but, he, also owes the new york civil fraud case. >> i mean, that's the bigger question that is a big chunk of money that the former president will have to come up with. he did propose to an appellate judge that he wanted to put up $100 million bond that was rejected. trump is now trying
1:22 am
to get a panel of judges to give him more time in that case to come up with this bond. that decision is not expected until the end of the month. and as you noted, this monde is going to come due around march 25 and so we have these dates colliding. that's also the start of jury selection in trump's criminal case in new york involving those hush money payments. >> all right. kara scannell, thanks so much. now, the criminal side, enough cases to fill a book literally are next to gas or coauthors a new book, the trump indictment, the historic charging documents with commentary. andrew weissmann and melissa murray are both nyu law professors. he served as senior prosecutor on the mother russia investigation of the former president. appreciate both of you being with us. so this book is fascinating because i mean, it's it is all the indictments in a very readable form with commentary which really kind of help explain because i think a lot of people certainly have heard the broad brushes, but haven't really dug deep on it. your book outlines the context of the four criminal indictments just on this on the
1:23 am
civil case, on this bond, were you surprised that he was able to come up the money? do you think you'll be able to come up with the next one? >> but i think one of the issues i have is trying to figure out where do you get the money and whether somebody co-signed and the reason that's important is if this person is going to be the president of the united states, again, you want to know who was he beholden to run, for instance, bank could say or chubb could have said, i will give you this money, but i needed to have co-signed by person x that would be something you'd want to know. and especially since it is now, this was $90 million. but he has to, as you said, get another half 1 billion. is somebody also going to be putting up the money or cosigning so that he can do that. they think the issue of who is he going to be holed into is something that i would think the electric would want to know most in the classified documents case. what do you make of the former president's claim of immunity in that
1:24 am
again, the immunity claims that were made in the january 6 election interference sort of range from specious, just stupid. i think they're even more outlandish is specious to stupid range. >> it's a legal term i think it's even more outlandish and the context of the mar-a-lago documents case because that actually occurs after he has concluded the presidency. so the whole idea of presidential immunity is that the president needs this installation from legal process in order to fulfill the duties of being precedent without distraction that elapses has won. the presidency is actually completed. so maybe this is an argument that you could raise in a colorable way in the january 6 election interference case, but it seems much more far-fetched in the context of mar-a-lago, is this just about trying to push back the clock? >> sure. i mean, donald trump wrote a book, the art of the deal. he is now engaged. >> write it he goes wrote it. he's definitely writing this one and it is the art of delay. and we've seen this in the january 6 case, he got a major
1:25 am
assist from the united states supreme court last week, and apparently he's getting some assistance from judge cannon, who is slow walk many aspects of the mar-a-lago case, it ruin the book. >> you say that jack smith is quote, tailor-made for process excluding trump, you say his actions to date show that despite being delta tough hand in terms of timing, he's risen to the challenge both dc and florida cases were clearly going to be extremely strong but only an experienced prosecutor likes me that could get them quickly to the finish line. >> do you think i mean >> can he get any of these cases to the finish line because right now it seems like it might be the what's being called the hush money case, which is now being built at also has an election interference case in new york. maybe the only one before the election. >> i think that's that is a distinct likelihood, but i don't think it's any fault of his he was dealt a hand in terms of the timing of this and when to go forward. and as melissa ted, i think the supreme court has weighed in in a way to delay this further. we're trading is highly inappropriate if you just think about the purpose of immunity,
1:26 am
this is donald trump saying, i'm immune, i should not suffer the opprobrium of a criminal case as he has said, i shouldn't have a gag order. it's interfering with my being, able to run for office, so he would have every interest in having that on the immunity issue, having it decided quickly. so he wants it decided quickly. the government wants it decided quickly. that didn't stop donald trump, of course, from saying tick, keep it very, very slow. >> and then >> the supreme court should have said, this needs to be decided quickly. that's the fact the reason for taking an appeal before the trial is so that it could be decided quickly. and instead, the argument is not going to be for months. and then they could take months to decide it. so i do think it's going to be quite some time and it'll be very hard for this case. it gets slotted in before the the election. >> would do you think of the most of the new york case the hush money, election interference case. >> so i think a lot of people have poo-pooed. this case is being sort of tawdry and salacious and certainly it is, but i think that da bragg has
1:27 am
talked about this in ways that make clear that this is really kind of an opening for donald trump's sort of a predecessor to what we actually will see in full flower in the january 6 election interference case, which is to say that this two is a species of election fraud. the fact of falsifying business records for the purpose of keeping a relationship not only from your wife, but also from the voting public. so that you can be more successful in the election is a type of election fraud and sort of lays a foundation for what we will see on a more monumental scale in the january 6 case. so he's sort of explaining that this was a predecessor crime and sort of putting it in the context of these other indictments. and if we look at the book one of the things that's actually staggering when you take all four of these indictments in tandem, is that it is criminal conduct that is alleged before during and after donald trump's presidency. >> why did you want to write this book? i mean, what, why in this format? >> so we like you spend a lot of time on air trying to
1:28 am
explain to people who are either not lawyers, are not criminal lawyers what this means. and this is a unique moment in our history in terms of what is going on in the courts for people to have that be accessible? well to them. so in addition to being able to get it through the news and cable news and newspapers, we wanted to be able to have people have the actual charging language, but then break it down for them so that they can go as deep as they want. or if shallow is they want. and then as the cases are unfolding, they can understand them. so it's real. >> it is easy to get lost in the legal ease of it, and it's nice to have sort of the breakdown of i think that's right to be able to break it down. so it's more digestible, but also so that every person can come to this and make their own conclusion, right? we're not coming to this with a partisan lens like we have our own views. obviously we say this in the book but our goal for this is purely an educative
1:29 am
function. we want everyone to be able to engage with all of these documents at this enormous moment of real profundity for the country we've never had anything like this it's absolutely imperative that every american get engaged on these questions and we wanted to provide them with a handbook that they could used to do that loose, murray. thank you so much. andrew weissmann as well. thank you. i really appreciate it. again, the new book is the trump indictments. it historic charging documents with commentary it is definitely worth picking out, coming up the famine in gaza. why millions there cannot afford the months. it may take to build that floating pier to help very a the president biden announced last night more ahead pain hits back. >> so get relief fast. only tylenol rapid release channels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast for fast pain. and now good max drink topical pain really precisely where you need it with new tylenol precise >> high, it's christina again, i'm here to tell you about an all-new special offer from my

1:35 am
bags of write that are meant to go to their children and are filled with bullets >> under international law, it's israel obligation to make sure that the ordinary citizen since of gaza don't starve to that. and right now, they are starving to death. >> hamas is making it very difficult allowing this to write they're not holding it then we'll do you're not leaving it. >> but they're doing it. i'm telling you here and now we knew it's >> getting to the children of gaza. we will do it. this does not arrived there's doorstep. this arrives into the channels of come off that are fighting us on holding our hostages. nowhere was no >> evidence to support the idea that all of this aid is going to hamas, not to the rest of the population. this is intelligence only for terror. that's why they're getting it should get only the minimum hello required to survive. >> they're starving to death because there are no, they are
1:36 am
starving to really making, you know what he was starving, starving to death, give us, give the hostages back >> know, a single a loaf of bread should go there to our hostages are coming back to many people in the world, listening to what you're saying, what you're protesting for. it sounds like a a contravention of international law. and be incredibly callous in the face of an epic humanitarian catastrophe. in the face of children starving to death, people can't understand why anyone in their right mind would advocate for stopping aid. >> hamas has no play. hamas has no rules. hamas is holding civilians. you know, even if zero easy humanitarian crisis there a reasonable, even if there is, it's my right and white dot to prioritize the life of qt one year old babies are deserve over any guzman
1:37 am
babies >> and with that, the interview is over as the protesters press on previously, they've managed to block aid trucks from crossing but on this day, the police have been given their orders and no one is getting through prompting anger from the crowd >> were confused. go deal with the war. >> shouts. we can to help you i needed to cross here. the protesters try their luck in another area that the authorities are just as quick to stop them. so the police are now really started thanks to lose their patients. they've been trying to push these protesters away for hours now and still they're not leaving out on this day is small. or sentiment is shared by the majority of people in the country. recent poll by the israel democracy institute found its sixth 8% of jewish israelis oppose the transfer of
1:38 am
humanitarian aid into gaza on the other side of the border, the situation could not be more dire seven-year-old fadil sand is suffering from severe dehydration and malnutrition doctors at the kamal adwan hospital say they don't have the resources to properly treat him fadi's mother says she's already lost two children. she doesn't want to lose him according to gaza's health authorities, at least 17 children have died of dehydration and malnutrition already. and with a un warning that famine is just a step away, there is hardly room for debate more aid needs to get to more people as quickly as possible. >> and clarissa ward joins us now from jerusalem. so who, who are in these protesters? >> so the protesters that we spent time with anderson are
1:39 am
part of a group called tsav nine, which means order nine as in a military order. and they are primarily made up of former reservist, but there are also some kind of far right settlers among the group. but it was really interesting because when we talk to some of the people who were there, it was actually a mixed bag as well. we talked to an elderly woman from long island talk to a woman from bangor, maine who you saw briefly in our report there. and i think this poll really underscores something that maybe a lot of people aren't talking about, which is that the majority of israelis do have some sympathy with this opinion that age shouldn't get into gaza because they believe that is only going to take away some leverage that they have for getting the hostages safely out. anderson, has there been consideration at all by >> israel of opening up other border crossings in the north, because right now that that crossing is further south and
1:40 am
still nea that gets in trucks have to drive all the way up north and that obviously creates a lot of problems >> right? and this is really crucial and we know that this has been a source of friction with the us. the us them pushing really hard for them to open up some crossings in the north. it had seemed like it was about to happen and then all of a sudden, nobody is talking about it anymore and any aid worker will tell you that really, if you want to distribute aid effectively, forget airdrops, forget cprs. the only way to do it is on the ground and the only way to do it properly on the ground is with some kind of a ceasefire in place. and i do think it's important to underscore something anderson, there were protests yesterday as well that took place with many israelis coming out to say that it is not acceptable that the people gaza are starving to death and they were actually trying to get aid in to kerem shalom border crossing. the warrant successful. but it's important to remember that israel is not a monolith and there are

world, vegas, the story of sin city next sunday at ten on cnn hard to believe, but today marks ten years into one of the world's great mysteries. the disappearance of malaysia airlines flight mh370, the boeing triple-7 was carrying 239 people when it disappeared, their loved ones have urged the malaysian government to relaunch a search for the plane more tonight on how advantage from cnn's tom foreman >> good night those were among the last words from >> the cockpit of the malaysia air jet with 239 people aboard. the last words before authorities say it took an unexpected turn flew out over the indian ocean and disappeared from radar. >> you're trying to do everything in our power to find where the plate is >> a massive international search followed with planes and ships scouring thousands of square miles files, each
1:58 am
development bringing hope to desperate families. >> if it's the plane, then we'll all be devastated. but we can at least grieve properly and go on with our lives. >> but ours turn today's days to weeks >> still nothing. >> i'm looking for my husband and i want to know what happened to him. >> the search moved underwater with high-tech robotic subs and sensors probing the rugged darkness, almost three miles beneath the surface of the indian ocean, the government reached for answers, families grieved even more. >> avd don't care about how we feel, what we have to see. >> an official report laid out, what was known, but what it doesn't tell us is who did watch where, when, and why on the night of the trenitalia with every scenario, i could just explain this away, but i haven't been pretty successful. >> the theory seemed endless. the captain had a flight simulator at home for awhile, questions swirled around whether he and the co-pilots might have cut communications
1:59 am
and intentionally ditch the plane. >> the idea of >> a hijacker or terrorists taking over and crashing it came up to mechanical questions appeared in media everywhere. did batteries in the cargo hold catch fire? does the pressurization fail? what if all the power went out? everything went dark? everything failed. there was no proof for any of it, just scattered evidence coupled with speculation about how long the jet flew, which direction and where it might have come down more than a year after for the disappearance of few parts washed up along the african coast >> well, ultimately this is a piece of the wing than that little thread of hope that i've been holding onto we'll have to break, but still no answers about a plane that vanished ten years >> ago, 39 minutes after takeoff it's incredible, it's still missing. tom foreman joins me now. i understand that american company has submitted a proposal to the malaysian
2:00 am
government to start searching for the plane. again, what what is the company saying? >> well, this texas company is the same one that was searching some years ago. they're basing a lot on the idea of new technology, better search methods, maybe that will help out. they sent a statement to us but they said, we've been working with many experts, some outside of ocean infinity, which is the company to continue analyzing the data in the hope of narrowing the search area down to one in which success becomes potentially achievable. that is, a really tall order, anderson, because the whole problem all along is a vast vast area out there. but if they succeed, it could be more than just ending a mystery and relief to these families. it could also help solve a puzzle for the aviation industry. one that still is potentially a threat out there because they don't know what happened. if if they can succeed. >> tom foreman. thanks so much. the news continues right here on cnn
