should not be underestimated. Mike Embley will be here in about 20

:00:00.:00:00.

minutes with the rest of the news. Now, the news as seen in the USA

:00:00.:00:07.

couple of hours ago in ABC News. Tonight, breakthrough. A sound from

:00:08.:00:14.

deep below the ocean. Our search is closing in on the missing passenger

:00:15.:00:19.

plane? But they have learned about the message from deep in the water?

:00:20.:00:26.

`` what have they. Can aspirin save the lives of millions of pregnant

:00:27.:00:30.

women and their babies? Oscar Pistorius tells his story in

:00:31.:00:34.

court, talking directly to the family of the woman he shot.

:00:35.:00:47.

Good evening. We begin this week with new hope and caution and `` in

:00:48.:00:56.

the search for the missing passenger flight. Have the black boxes finally

:00:57.:01:02.

sent a message to all of the people searching? Tonight, investigators

:01:03.:01:08.

are trying to zero in on the truth about the sounds they have heard,

:01:09.:01:11.

pushing even harder to find the boxes before they go silent. We have

:01:12.:01:16.

the very latest on what they are hearing tonight.

:01:17.:01:20.

This US Navy listening device, towed thousands of feet below the

:01:21.:01:24.

surface, heard this. Today, the man leading the search says he believes

:01:25.:01:28.

that is the distinct sound of a black box pinger. This is clearly a

:01:29.:01:36.

promising lead and probably, in the search so far, it is probably the

:01:37.:01:41.

best information that we have had. The towed pinger locator heard the

:01:42.:01:45.

signal for more than two hours. The ship, the Ocean Shield, then turned

:01:46.:01:49.

it around `` turned around and heard it again for another 30 minutes.

:01:50.:02:03.

De two pinger were audible. The ship is now criss`crossing the three

:02:04.:02:07.

square miles section of the south Indian Ocean, listening again.

:02:08.:02:13.

Searchers hope for a third heat and will then send this robot down to

:02:14.:02:16.

the bottom. It will map the ocean floor, looking for wreckage. At the

:02:17.:02:20.

depth in this area are nearly 15,000 feet, right at the limit of the

:02:21.:02:25.

robot's capabilities. `` but the depth. The black boxes will tell us

:02:26.:02:32.

so much. Was the voice of the pilots or someone else a hijacker? Were the

:02:33.:02:37.

course changes on purpose? Did the cabin depressurised by accident or

:02:38.:02:43.

on purpose, telling the passengers? When weather critical communications

:02:44.:02:46.

systems intentionally shut? As we have learned, even from 15,000 feet

:02:47.:02:53.

underwater these boxes survive. Have you ever not gotten dater in a water

:02:54.:02:58.

recovery? I can't think of one where we haven't got a date. `` data. Make

:02:59.:03:09.

it another three or four days past 30. They have to get up, it will

:03:10.:03:18.

take a while. Inside is an indestructible container that holds

:03:19.:03:20.

all of the memory chips that will tell us exactly what the plane was

:03:21.:03:24.

doing. If they find it and its impact, they

:03:25.:03:27.

will find that? It's almost indestructible. It can

:03:28.:03:31.

handle the water. Thank you. Back at home, millions of

:03:32.:03:38.

Americans are breathing a kind of Waterworld. Cash flows, urgent

:03:39.:03:42.

rescues and add to it tornadoes touching down. The families in the

:03:43.:03:51.

storms on. This was the view from the backyard of a twister this

:03:52.:03:55.

afternoon. This morning, families in Mississippi court an awful wake`up.

:03:56.:04:05.

At least 9.8 and `` nine tornadoes. Police are looking for a

:04:06.:04:07.

nine`year`old girl who was swept away by rising waters. The rain came

:04:08.:04:17.

fast. In if you short hours, almost half a foot in Alabama. 91 operators

:04:18.:04:27.

were busy. `` 911. Firefighters had to bring out the votes. Nearly 100

:04:28.:04:32.

families were trapped in this apartment complex. They were trying

:04:33.:04:38.

to make sure everybody is awake. Then in Atlanta had nearly three

:04:39.:04:48.

feet of water on city streets. This giant oak fell across this road, Mr

:04:49.:04:52.

two homes and knocked out power to this entire neighbourhood. There is

:04:53.:04:57.

still potential all the way up to the north`east. New England is

:04:58.:05:03.

already soaking wet. Another whether a note to the

:05:04.:05:08.

north, the calendar says it is April, but frozen Lake Superior it

:05:09.:05:15.

is not get the message. US steel put its massive Indiana plant back into

:05:16.:05:20.

limited production. The frozen lake made it impossible. That has not

:05:21.:05:28.

happened in 30 years. Turbulence returned to Ukraine overseas. John

:05:29.:05:33.

Kerry warned Russia against storing up more trouble. Here is what

:05:34.:05:37.

happened in an eastern part of Ukraine. Public buildings in two

:05:38.:05:44.

cities were seized. A fire on the streets. Lawmakers said that they

:05:45.:05:55.

wanted an independent republic. Now to south Africa. A dramatic day

:05:56.:06:03.

in the trial of Oscar Pistorius. He took the stand and we hear his voice

:06:04.:06:08.

as he talks about his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

:06:09.:06:18.

Oscar Pistorius broke his year`long silence with a tearful apology to

:06:19.:06:22.

the family of his girlfriend. Reeva Steenkamp shot in his bathroom last

:06:23.:06:28.

year. I wake up every morning and the first people I think of and pray

:06:29.:06:35.

for. I cannot imagine the pain and the sorrow I have caused. It was the

:06:36.:06:43.

defence's decision to not allow Oscar Pistorius to be on video. But

:06:44.:06:51.

what we saw was a broken man. He had to sit down for most of the

:06:52.:06:54.

testimony. He has pleaded not guilty. Over three hours, he told

:06:55.:07:00.

his life story, starting with his last year. His declining mental

:07:01.:07:04.

state. And his undying love for Reeva

:07:05.:07:17.

Steenkamp. Earlier testimony had him covering

:07:18.:07:31.

his head, stuffing his thumbs in his ears. He walked out of court looking

:07:32.:07:35.

weak and, expected to return tomorrow. `` we did.

:07:36.:07:47.

And now we turn to a health alert tonight about women and pregnancy. A

:07:48.:07:53.

simple drug in your medicine cabinet can protect expectant mothers and

:07:54.:07:59.

babies from a condition that strikes millions and can be deadly.

:08:00.:08:09.

This woman was diagnosed 36 weeks into her pregnancy. I found out

:08:10.:08:14.

about my high blood pressure. So I was sent straight to the hospital.

:08:15.:08:18.

She was put on bed rest and closely monitored. It was a life`threatening

:08:19.:08:23.

condition for both mother and baby. When a woman's blood pressure is

:08:24.:08:29.

abnormally high. It can be ordered failure, seizure, Peter and

:08:30.:08:35.

delivery, even death. But till today it affects approximately 160,000

:08:36.:08:43.

deliveries. Today's recommendation, a simple dose of aspirin daily. We

:08:44.:08:49.

do not know why it works. Theories point to reducing inflammation and

:08:50.:08:54.

increasing blood flow. It cuts the risk as much as 24% without

:08:55.:09:02.

significant complications. The fracking pregnancy resulted in a

:09:03.:09:12.

beautiful baby. `` no racking. The outcome that recommendations hope to

:09:13.:09:19.

replicate. Neither one American family is

:09:20.:09:23.

counting their blessings and facing some tough questions about why the

:09:24.:09:27.

risk taking two small children on a dangerous trip to the open ocean.

:09:28.:09:32.

The family being plucked from the high seas in the nick of time.

:09:33.:09:40.

Tonight he rescued family is safely aboard a US Navy ship. On land the

:09:41.:09:48.

storm of controversy is growing. Anger as to why a family would take

:09:49.:09:51.

a one`year`old on a round the world broke trip. Boat trip. It all began

:09:52.:10:00.

when she fell ill with a severe rash and fever. The family were sailing

:10:01.:10:12.

900 miles from the coast of Mexico. They call for help, sending a

:10:13.:10:16.

distress signal. That is when the Navy raced in. Tonight and officer

:10:17.:10:24.

aboard the rescue ship with an update. Everybody is in a stable

:10:25.:10:29.

condition. They are thankful that we were able to rescue them, very

:10:30.:10:34.

appreciative. They are eager to get back to land. The family are

:10:35.:10:39.

expected to arrive in San Diego on Wednesday. In a statement, the

:10:40.:10:48.

family defended the trip, saying: still, before being rescued, there

:10:49.:10:51.

were doubts. Still ahead, our money team is back

:10:52.:11:06.

with something 90% of us do not do every month when it comes to paying

:11:07.:11:08.

our bills. And it is costing money. our bills. And it is costing money.

:11:09.:12:07.

You may not even know you are spending it. A lot of us who do not

:12:08.:12:10.

look at our credit card bills are paying an average of $365 a year in

:12:11.:12:18.

extra charges. We can show you how to get your money back.

:12:19.:12:24.

This couple thought it would never happen to them. I would love that

:12:25.:12:29.

camera, personally. Definitely something that we would not buy.

:12:30.:12:36.

$463 charge for a high`tech camera 700 miles away from their home. This

:12:37.:12:41.

was the fraud. It is not just for charges. One in four of us are

:12:42.:12:46.

victims of what they call great charges. That is what happened to

:12:47.:12:57.

Tom. He got monthly charges. Megan found out pro`GM charged at $250 in

:12:58.:13:06.

extra fees. And Matthew discovered some companies were charging him

:13:07.:13:14.

twice for the same service. You can protect yourself by scanning your

:13:15.:13:17.

own bills regularly and closely. Just 10% of us actually do. Our

:13:18.:13:24.

mother told us growing up that he need to check your bills. Most of us

:13:25.:13:29.

do not. Some services can help you monitor your bills by automatically

:13:30.:13:33.

scouring them for questionable charges. Deceptive and misleading

:13:34.:13:44.

marketing and sales tactics cost us more money. If you think you are

:13:45.:13:50.

being wrongly billed, you can unsubscribe. You will get your money

:13:51.:13:59.

back. It also found this fraud and they now attract every charge.

:14:00.:14:06.

Knowing even the small ones could add up.

:14:07.:14:14.

Tonight we want to say thanks a million, and we do mean a million.

:14:15.:14:20.

12 of you. 1 million likes on Facebook. `` to all of you.

:14:21.:14:33.

Take an eight`month`old baby on a trip and you're taking bottles,

:14:34.:14:40.

papers and blanket bags. And these parents are taking something else,

:14:41.:14:45.

and international press Corps. Prince George is starting his first

:14:46.:14:52.

real road trip. The welcome fit for a king. A

:14:53.:14:56.

ceremonial New Zealand greeting from the country's indigenous people. A

:14:57.:15:04.

welcome from Maori warriors who are not very much at all. But the main

:15:05.:15:11.

attraction, the royal cuteness. Managing to outshine his parents

:15:12.:15:24.

with royal cuteness. Really, it was all about this boy. Could it be, his

:15:25.:15:34.

first Royal wave? You can see them. The baby is looking adorable. The

:15:35.:15:40.

visit begins. The Duke and Duchess will compete in their own America's

:15:41.:15:48.

Cup races and visit Christchurch. But by George, today was all about a

:15:49.:15:53.

baby who even after a 30 hour flight behaved like a prince.

:15:54.:16:00.

We will see you again tomorrow night.
