:00:00. > :00:00.should not be underestimated. Mike Embley will be here in about 20
:00:00. > :00:07.minutes with the rest of the news. Now, the news as seen in the USA
:00:08. > :00:14.couple of hours ago in ABC News. Tonight, breakthrough. A sound from
:00:15. > :00:19.deep below the ocean. Our search is closing in on the missing passenger
:00:20. > :00:26.plane? But they have learned about the message from deep in the water?
:00:27. > :00:30.`` what have they. Can aspirin save the lives of millions of pregnant
:00:31. > :00:34.women and their babies? Oscar Pistorius tells his story in
:00:35. > :00:47.court, talking directly to the family of the woman he shot.
:00:48. > :00:56.Good evening. We begin this week with new hope and caution and `` in
:00:57. > :01:02.the search for the missing passenger flight. Have the black boxes finally
:01:03. > :01:08.sent a message to all of the people searching? Tonight, investigators
:01:09. > :01:11.are trying to zero in on the truth about the sounds they have heard,
:01:12. > :01:16.pushing even harder to find the boxes before they go silent. We have
:01:17. > :01:20.the very latest on what they are hearing tonight.
:01:21. > :01:24.This US Navy listening device, towed thousands of feet below the
:01:25. > :01:28.surface, heard this. Today, the man leading the search says he believes
:01:29. > :01:36.that is the distinct sound of a black box pinger. This is clearly a
:01:37. > :01:41.promising lead and probably, in the search so far, it is probably the
:01:42. > :01:45.best information that we have had. The towed pinger locator heard the
:01:46. > :01:49.signal for more than two hours. The ship, the Ocean Shield, then turned
:01:50. > :02:03.it around `` turned around and heard it again for another 30 minutes.
:02:04. > :02:07.De two pinger were audible. The ship is now criss`crossing the three
:02:08. > :02:13.square miles section of the south Indian Ocean, listening again.
:02:14. > :02:16.Searchers hope for a third heat and will then send this robot down to
:02:17. > :02:20.the bottom. It will map the ocean floor, looking for wreckage. At the
:02:21. > :02:25.depth in this area are nearly 15,000 feet, right at the limit of the
:02:26. > :02:32.robot's capabilities. `` but the depth. The black boxes will tell us
:02:33. > :02:37.so much. Was the voice of the pilots or someone else a hijacker? Were the
:02:38. > :02:43.course changes on purpose? Did the cabin depressurised by accident or
:02:44. > :02:46.on purpose, telling the passengers? When weather critical communications
:02:47. > :02:53.systems intentionally shut? As we have learned, even from 15,000 feet
:02:54. > :02:58.underwater these boxes survive. Have you ever not gotten dater in a water
:02:59. > :03:09.recovery? I can't think of one where we haven't got a date. `` data. Make
:03:10. > :03:18.it another three or four days past 30. They have to get up, it will
:03:19. > :03:20.take a while. Inside is an indestructible container that holds
:03:21. > :03:24.all of the memory chips that will tell us exactly what the plane was
:03:25. > :03:27.doing. If they find it and its impact, they
:03:28. > :03:31.will find that? It's almost indestructible. It can
:03:32. > :03:38.handle the water. Thank you. Back at home, millions of
:03:39. > :03:42.Americans are breathing a kind of Waterworld. Cash flows, urgent
:03:43. > :03:51.rescues and add to it tornadoes touching down. The families in the
:03:52. > :03:55.storms on. This was the view from the backyard of a twister this
:03:56. > :04:05.afternoon. This morning, families in Mississippi court an awful wake`up.

:04:58. > :05:03.still potential all the way up to the north`east. New England is
:05:04. > :05:08.already soaking wet. Another whether a note to the
:05:09. > :05:15.north, the calendar says it is April, but frozen Lake Superior it
:05:16. > :05:20.is not get the message. US steel put its massive Indiana plant back into

:06:19. > :06:22.Oscar Pistorius broke his year`long silence with a tearful apology to
:06:23. > :06:28.the family of his girlfriend. Reeva Steenkamp shot in his bathroom last
:06:29. > :06:35.year. I wake up every morning and the first people I think of and pray
:06:36. > :06:43.for. I cannot imagine the pain and the sorrow I have caused. It was the
:06:44. > :06:51.defence's decision to not allow Oscar Pistorius to be on video. But
:06:52. > :06:54.what we saw was a broken man. He had to sit down for most of the
:06:55. > :07:00.testimony. He has pleaded not guilty. Over three hours, he told
:07:01. > :07:04.his life story, starting with his last year. His declining mental
:07:05. > :07:17.state. And his undying love for Reeva
:07:18. > :07:31.Steenkamp. Earlier testimony had him covering
:07:32. > :07:35.his head, stuffing his thumbs in his ears. He walked out of court looking
:07:36. > :07:47.weak and, expected to return tomorrow. `` we did.
:07:48. > :07:53.And now we turn to a health alert tonight about women and pregnancy. A

:08:24. > :08:29.condition for both mother and baby. When a woman's blood pressure is
:08:30. > :08:35.abnormally high. It can be ordered failure, seizure, Peter and
:08:36. > :08:43.delivery, even death. But till today it affects approximately 160,000
:08:44. > :08:49.deliveries. Today's recommendation, a simple dose of aspirin daily. We
:08:50. > :08:54.do not know why it works. Theories point to reducing inflammation and
:08:55. > :09:02.increasing blood flow. It cuts the risk as much as 24% without
:09:03. > :09:12.significant complications. The fracking pregnancy resulted in a
