00:01We've just started to see police and emergency services arrive here on scene in Port McDonnell.
00:08The conditions today are looking a lot better than they were yesterday.
00:13Yesterday the search had to be called off at about 3.30 due to the severe weather conditions.
00:20Now all we really know at the moment about this search is that the three month old boy
00:25has been missing since his mother and toddler sister were found at the bottom of a cliff
00:31not far from where I'm standing now.
00:34Police have said they aren't holding out too much hope unfortunately that this poor little boy
00:40will be alive but they won't give up until expert advice tells them otherwise.
00:46This is what they had to say a little bit earlier, sorry, last night.
00:51We will continue to take the advice of search and rescue experts.
00:55There are a number of factors to consider, one of them being the weather conditions of course
00:59but also the age of the missing child.
01:02We will continue to search until the expert advice tells us that there is no prospect of finding the child
01:09alive.
01:10The information we have from survivability experts is that it is very, very unlikely
01:15that the missing baby has survived to this point.
01:19Police say that they will continue searching for the rest of today
01:23and provide an update at a later stage.
01:26Police say that there are many things that the first and third folks in the last year
01:26in the last year was the first time of shooting the clock for the last year and the last year
