hello and welcome. this is verified live, free hours of breaking stories and checking out the truth behind them. we will have the latest on the bad search that is going on for the submarine in a moment or two, that i want to go straight to breaking news of the last little while from the united states. news aboutjoe biden's son, hunter, and that news coming into is that hunter biden has agreed to plead guilty on two federal tax charges and enter a third pre—trial diverging agreement on one a firearms charge. that is apparently in a deal with the justice department, according to court documents that have been published. the details emerging all of the time. there is bound to be a lot of political reaction, the president's son has been in the focus around various investigations for such a long while. but this, the latest detail that there are going

to be tax charges, two guilty pleas on those federal tax charges. in deferred pre—trial diverging agreement, that is what it is described as, on one a firearms charge. that is a deal that has been done with thejustice department. we will have more from washington on that breaking story here in the next few moments. now, let's turn to that huge search that is going on. the race to save five people who are on board a submersible which has gone missing in the north atlantic close to the wreck of the titanic. ships and planes are scouring the ocean around 640 kilometres off the coast of newfoundland in canada and dropping sonar buoys to detect any underwater activity. the titanic, which sank in 1912, lies 94,000 metres beneath the surface. 0n metres beneath the surface. on sunday, all contact with it was lost with a vessel about one hour and 45 minutes into the dive. there is only

enough oxygen for up to 96 hours. in this programme, we will be talking to friends of some of those on board. we have corresponded in boston, we will have the latest from the us and canadian coastguard and we will talk to a marine rescue experts. but let us start by talking to our news correspondent who is there in boston. has there been any update from those coordinating this rescue effort?— rescue effort? well, matthew, this reall is rescue effort? well, matthew, this really is an — rescue effort? well, matthew, this really is an international _ rescue effort? well, matthew, this really is an international surf- really is an international surf effort now. oliver's efforts are being coordinated from right here in boston, that vessel that has gone missing is believed to be about 900 miles off the coast of the united states. the latest that we are hearing is that there is efforts going through the night into the morning now, and apparently, search planes have covered about 10,000 square miles of ocean. of course, the search efforts happening from above the ocean, looking for any signs that the submersible might have come up from the bottom. as

well, you mention some of those sonar buoys being used to listen down below. we also know that a commercial vessel has joined in this effort. it is international as well as really any ship that has been in the area, is being asked to assist in these efforts. this is a large vessel that is also equipped of a remote underwater vehicle that could be very useful for searching below the surface of the water. of course, we know five people are believed to be on board that vessel, it has been missing since about sunday and as you mentioned, time is of the essence. it was only equipped with about four days worth of oxygen and it has now been about two days. rescuers in search efforts are hoping to at least locate where that vessel might be said that they can begin to figure out how they might begin to figure out how they might be able to reach the people inside. more about who is coordinating this... what is actually being thrown at it? this. .. what is actually being thrown at it?— this... what is actually being thrown at it? they are throwing everything _ thrown at it? they are throwing everything they _ thrown at it? they are throwing everything they have _ thrown at it? they are throwing

everything they have got. - thrown at it? they are throwing everything they have got. we i thrown at it? they are throwing - everything they have got. we know that both canadian and united states coastguard services are using large planes to help scour the area, we know that there are ships in that area as well using boys and, of course, as we mentioned, any commercial ship that would be in that area is being recruited as well. this is a very difficult search operation. due to wear this location is. this is 900 miles off the coast of the united states. it is about two and a half miles down. there are very few underwater vehicles that can go that deep. a typical submarine that you might picture, that only goes down a few hundred metres. we are talking about thousands of metres below the surface. so this is a matter of trying to locate, as well, sophisticated technology that might be able to reach, in case that vessel could be trapped beneath the water. in case it might have lost some sort of capability to surface. so they are also trying to find commercial operators, naval operators, any other country that

might be able to have the technology to be able to reach this vessel, if it is indeed many thousands of feet below the sea. we it is indeed many thousands of feet below the sea.— below the sea. we are tracking all ofthat below the sea. we are tracking all of that from _ below the sea. we are tracking all of that from here, _ below the sea. we are tracking all of that from here, we _ below the sea. we are tracking all of that from here, we will - below the sea. we are tracking all of that from here, we will get - below the sea. we are tracking all of that from here, we will get the | of that from here, we will get the latest from you throughout the course of verified live, i'm sure there is going to be an update from there is going to be an update from the coastguard is in the next little while. but for now, thanks very much indeed. t and now from someone who is actually being on the same trip last year. mark rees is a writer from new york and he described what it is like. it is from new york and he described what it is like. , ., , ., , it is like. it is a beautifully designed _ it is like. it is a beautifully designed and _ it is like. it is a beautifully designed and run - it is like. it is a beautifully designed and run vessel, l it is like. it is a beautifully i designed and run vessel, but it is like. it is a beautifully - designed and run vessel, but it is an adventure. this is not a tourist trip. it's not a fun thing. it is not for thrill seekers like skydiving. this is a very serious expedition to go down there and much of the vessel is taken up with

scientists. scientists doing research. but it was obviously very exciting, the trip of a lifetime. it was described, i heard, as smaller, and yet it is very comfortable. it is beautifully designed and it is about the size of a minivan with the seeds taken out. so there are five others in theirjust sitting on the floor of it. it is designed almost spa —like, it is very relaxing and quiet and i actually fell asleep on the way down, it was that kind of relaxing. but everyone should know, we are all aware of the dangers going into this. but this is not a lack and you sign a waiver before you get on. you have to know that

there are learning as they go along. this is isn't something like a coach holiday, things go wrong, in fact i've taken three different dives with this, one to the titanic and to others and you almost always lost communication. you are at the mercy of the weather and that kind of thing. but it is beautiful. it is a beautiful, moving experience to do this. . , . . beautiful, moving experience to do this. . ,. . ., ., this. fascinating hearing that description. _ this. fascinating hearing that description. in _ this. fascinating hearing that description. in the _ this. fascinating hearing that description. in the last - this. fascinating hearing that| description. in the last couple this. fascinating hearing that. description. in the last couple of hours, we actually had a statement from the private plane firm, action aviation, which the missing british billionaire is the chairman of. let mejust reading some billionaire is the chairman of. let me just reading some of that statement... it says, both the harding family and the team at action aviation are very grateful for all of the kind messages of concern and support from our friends and colleagues, we are thankful for the continued efforts of the

authorities and the companies that have stepped in to aid in the rescue efforts. we put great faith and trust in their expertise. well, let's go live now to terry bates in houston. he is a retired nasa astronaut and international space station commander. and of course, knows hamish harding very well. we were just reading out that statement, thank you very much for joining us. i know you are watching this rescue effort and did a search effort incredibly closely, because you know him so well... i effort incredibly closely, because you know him so well. . .- effort incredibly closely, because you know him so well... i am, i am caettin it you know him so well... i am, i am getting it text _ you know him so well... i am, i am getting it text every _ you know him so well... i am, i am getting it text every few _ you know him so well... i am, i am getting it text every few seconds i getting it text every few seconds from different folks. so i appreciate your coverage, and of course the whole world is interested in with wishing the best for this crew. ~ , ., ., , ., in with wishing the best for this crew. ~ ., crew. when did you last have contact with him? he — crew. when did you last have contact with him? he texted _ crew. when did you last have contact with him? he texted me _ crew. when did you last have contact with him? he texted me and - crew. when did you last have contact with him? he texted me and i - crew. when did you last have contact with him? he texted me and i were l crew. when did you last have contactj with him? he texted me and i were a u-rou with him? he texted me and i were a group from — with him? he texted me and i were a group from around _ with him? he texted me and i were a

explorer, how do you navigate when there are obvious dangers? how do you navigate that psychologically? my you navigate that psychologically? my personal technique is to use humour and i my personal technique is to use humourand i think my personal technique is to use humour and i think that is a common gallows humour thing that we have as fighter pilots. i had a situation in iraq where we had lost an engine that we were flying and i made a few jokes with him as he was gliding in to do his landing. he barely made it and for me personally, humour works in that kind ofjob. you can't get too overly excited. in hollywood movies, the astronauts are always yelling and screaming and that is not the person that you want to go into space with. you want to be with somebody who is calm, hamish is definitely calm, i call him a quintessential british explorer. a very positive attitude and i'm sure his went handling this well. it sounds like there is a good chance that the capital is still intact, that the capital is still intact, thatis that the capital is still intact, that is what we are hopeful for that

they can find it on rescue him. i'm sure he's handling it very calmly. you teakwood actually a little earlier in the day, good news that we haven't heard any catastrophic sounds and sonar are found any debris. so, in that sense, there's hopeful signs are thereabsolutely. the odds of _ hopeful signs are thereabsolutely. the odds of getting _ hopeful signs are thereabsolutely. the odds of getting them - hopeful signs are thereabsolutely. the odds of getting them are i hopeful signs are thereabsolutely. i the odds of getting them are greater than zero. had we found the signs, the odds would probably be zero. so there's a hope that the physical structure of a submarine is supposed to be very good and we haven't seen or heard anything otherwise. so the key is, add they stuck on the bottom and will be r oh v be able to find them and be able to free them? there is only 96 hours from sunday morning, so we may be have two days left. this is really a race against time. i left. this is really a race against time. . ., left. this is really a race against time. _, . ~ ., ., left. this is really a race against time. ., ., time. i will come back to that race and that search _ time. i will come back to that race and that search in _ time. i will come back to that race and that search in a _ time. i will come back to that race and that search in a moment i time. i will come back to that race and that search in a moment or i time. i will come back to that race i and that search in a moment or two, but you were talking about the obvious stresses and the dangers given the scenario we are now

involved with. you know hamish has a person, how do you think he is likely to be coping? i’m person, how do you think he is likely to be coping?— person, how do you think he is likely to be coping? i'm sure he's handfina likely to be coping? i'm sure he's handling it— likely to be coping? i'm sure he's handling it well, _ likely to be coping? i'm sure he's handling it well, when _ likely to be coping? i'm sure he's handling it well, when we - likely to be coping? i'm sure he's handling it well, when we were i likely to be coping? i'm sure he's- handling it well, when we were doing our around the world record flight, we were flying over antarctica and it was like an extremely cold temperature, we had to lower our altitude and we didn't really have enough gas to get to where we were going. so we were in a situation where we were over antarctica in the wintertime and there was nowhere to land for thousands of miles. we were running out of gas. i was directing a documentary about it and hamish was a pilot on it. that was a pretty stressful situation that he handled very well, very professionally. some of the things that you may not think about, is that it is very cold down there, but water temperature is freezing to the temperature inside may very well be extremely cold for these five crew members. there is also no light, so unless they have a flashlight there will be in pitch black silence with no light. but they also know that we are coming to

rescue them. i'm sure they know that to be true. there is an armada of vessels and aeroplanes that are searching for them. i think if they can be rescued, they will be rescued. thanks to the us coast guard and the canadian coastguard and some commercial vessels that are helping them out. we and some commercial vessels that are helping them out-— helping them out. we were hearing from our correspondent _ helping them out. we were hearing from our correspondent that - helping them out. we were hearing from our correspondent that they i helping them out. we were hearing i from our correspondent that they are throwing virtually everything they have at this. and the and rescue operation. when you listed what it is like down there, the total blackness, the cold, all of the rest of it, it is so crucial that they stay calm and that they don't panic because if you do get involved in any sort of cycle like that, you end “p any sort of cycle like that, you end up using oxygen, don't you? absolutely. in space, the question is, how much oxygen do you have? but also carbon dioxide, our bodies make carbon dioxide come on earth, thankfully we have trees and plants that are cleaner atmosphere for us, you don't have that in space. you don't have that on submarines either. you need machines to claim the carbon dioxide, so there is a question of how much oxygen is left,

but also the carbon dioxide. it is amazing how fast these vessels did an emergency sailing, they got out of port very quickly. a lot of people have really put a lot of effort into it. we have american sea 17 is flying these are ivs, the underwater unmanned submarines. there are not a lot of them in the world. so they're only a handful of these things that they had to fly over the scene. i'm very thankful to the coastguard for leading this canadian, american and commercial operation rescue. just canadian, american and commercial operation rescue.— operation rescue. just a final thought. _ operation rescue. just a final thought, because _ operation rescue. just a final thought, because you - operation rescue. just a final. thought, because you touched operation rescue. just a final i thought, because you touched upon it, it is going to be a monumental challenge, isn't it? because, to find the submersible is one challenge, then to actually retrieve it, that is altogether a different and perhaps even she had a challenge. it and perhaps even she had a challenge-— and perhaps even she had a challenue. , , . . ., ,. challenge. it is search and rescue, and they both _ challenge. it is search and rescue, and they both have _ challenge. it is search and rescue, and they both have to _ challenge. it is search and rescue, and they both have to work. if i challenge. it is search and rescue, and they both have to work. if we | and they both have to work. if we had several weeks, i think the odds

would be much better, but again, i'm hopeful that the vessels that are there now, that are sending the ships down, they are searching for them right now. so if they can find them right now. so if they can find them quickly, the question is, are they stuck in the mud or are they entangled in the titanic? we just don't know. that is expected later on. but the question will be, how badly stuck at there? there is an automatic system that releases weight and they should have fled to the top, so that didn't happen, so you would think that there is a good chance that they are actually stuck. and can be r oh v unstick them? i know it is a difficult time for you, so many people connected with those five people on board, we are very grateful that you have taken time to talk to as life here on the programme. thanks so much. thank you for coverin: programme. thanks so much. thank you for covering it- — programme. thanks so much. thank you for covering it. around _ programme. thanks so much. thank you for covering it. around the _ programme. thanks so much. thank you for covering it. around the world - for covering it. around the world and across _ for covering it. around the world and across the _ for covering it. around the world and across the uk, _ for covering it. around the world and across the uk, you - for covering it. around the world and across the uk, you are i for covering it. around the world i and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. let's take a look at some

of the other stories making headlines here in the uk. price rises in supermarkets have slowed to their lowest levels since last year but still remain very high. in the four weeks to mid june, the price of groceries were 16 and a half percent compared to the year before. scotland's target marketing planet warming greenhouse emissions has been missed after a bounce back following the pandemic. total emissions are now 49.9% lower than in 1990, but the target this year was 51.1% cut. it is the eighth time in 12 years that the scottish government has missed its legally binding targets. and the former chancellor, george osborne gave evidence at an official cover 19 inquiry today. he said his austerity measures allowed the governor to pay for its contingency plans, public health experts have told the inquiry that the measures introduced by mr osborne weakened the nhs. he 0sborne weakened the nhs. he disputes that, saying that to be improved to the countries ability.

you are levied bbc news. let's return to that news from washington. prosecutors have been giving details of the last little while, hunter biden in a plea for agreement with the attorneys office. he acknowledged possessing a firearm, despite being a drug user. let's get the latest life in washington. let's talk to our national politics response at the hill. thanks had been with us so quickly since this news broke. tell us more... yes. news broke. tell us more... yes, essentially. _ news broke. tell us more... yes, essentially, this _ news broke. tell us more... yes, essentially, this came _ news broke. tell us more... yes, essentially, this came as - news broke. tell us more... yes, essentially, this came as a i essentially, this came as a surprise. i think this morning we saw that this was a plea deal between hunter biden and this judge. obviously, there are two accounts for a wilful failure to pay income tax and then account for an unlawful possession of a firearm. a number of

very serious charges against the president's sun. but as we are learning, it seems that with this plea deal, hunter biden likely will not be having to go to go to jail now. he has been spared that. however, we are already seeing reaction from republicans in washington. they are calling this a sweet had a plea deal, wanting to look more into this, former president trump who himself is under investigation for a number of legal issues has been bursting slamming hunter biden over this. of course, president biden and first ladyjill biden put out a statement saying that they love their son and they support him, they are going to be with him as he rebuilds his life but they have no further comments. this is all just they have no further comments. this is alljust developing here and comes as we are seeing these two parallel stories emerge. obviously, there was a court date set for the

former president trial and this is all playing out in the shadow of the 2024 presidential election. where both trump and biden will likely face each other. just both trump and biden will likely face each other.— both trump and biden will likely face each other. just remind people around the world _ face each other. just remind people around the world who _ face each other. just remind people around the world who are _ face each other. just remind people around the world who are watching | around the world who are watching this, around the focus on hunter biden, it is giving going on for years, hasn't it? just tell us more about the background to that... it has been going on for years. ever since the trump administration. there were questions that originated from hunter biden's work in international business. particularly international business. particularly in ukraine and whether he was trying to use his father's influence on some of those business deals. we've seen that republicans during the biden administration have really zeroed in on hunter biden. as sort of a file. in their quest to really jabjoe biden, but we are seeing

that there is actually a lot of substance to the legal issues that hunter biden has been dealing with. for the president himself, this is his son. he has telegraphed over the past months, past years, that he is going to stand by his son. he came to ireland a few months ago and hunter biden was front and centre with him during that trip. so i think we'll be watching to see what happens to hunter biden now. does he still stand front and centre with his father or does he sort of fade into the background? like i said, this is all coming really under the shadow of a presidential campaign, so it is going to have some sort of an impact. so it is going to have some sort of an impact-— so it is going to have some sort of an impact. thanks very much. the white house _ an impact. thanks very much. the white house has _ an impact. thanks very much. the white house has said _ an impact. thanks very much. the white house has said that - an impact. thanks very much. the white house has said that joe i an impact. thanks very much. the i white house has said that joe biden white house has said thatjoe biden supports hunter biden and his efforts to rebuild his life. no comment on the charges at all, that

in the last few moments, the lawyer for hunter biden has put out a statement via cbs news, saying that with the announcement of these two agreements between my client and hunter biden and the us attorney's office, it is my understanding that the five year investigation into hunter is resolved and hunter will take responsibility for two instances of misdemeanour failings to file tax payments when they were due, and also a firearms charge which will be subject to a pre—trial diverging agreement and will not be the subject of the plea agreement and the statement ends, i know hunter believes it is important to take response ability for these mistakes that he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. he looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward. so that statement from hunter biden's liar. more on that as we get to it, but now let's turn to a bbc investigation which has revealed how people in the uk and the us are paying for monkeys in southeast asia to be tortured on

earlier on we saw this feature just move its way northwards, currently across north—eastern areas of england and north—eastern scotland too, where it's likely to linger on for much of the rest of the day, eventually pulling out into the north sea. watch out for some thunderstorms across western scotland and northern ireland. also possibly some heavy, thundery showers across south—west england and south wales forming in lines, but further east it's largely dry. temperatures here peaking in the mid—20s in celsius. overnight tonight, the thunderstorms are likely to rumble on across western scotland and northern ireland, but for most they will fade away where we see them to leave us with a dry night, feeling slightly fresher and a little more comfortable for sleeping, but still warm into tomorrow morning with some areas of mist, especially in the south. on wednesday, there will still be some showers forming in lines, perhaps for south—west england and for wales. across much of scotland we could see some more thunderstorms break out, frequent lightning across eastern scotland, maybe some thunderstorms across northern ireland too. temperatures coming up slightly.

towards the east it should stay largely dry and it will still feel warm here at 23 to 25 degrees. then high pressure starts to build in from the south—west as we head through the middle of the week. it's quite firmly established by the time we get to the weekend, but on thursday there will still be a few showers around. the air is more stable, so the showers shouldn't be as heavy as they've been in recent days and there will be some sunny spells too. temperatures for most will peak in the low 20s in celsius. starting to rise, but maybe 26 or 27 degrees celsius in south—east england and east anglia. that high pressure becomes quite firmly established across the south of the uk as we head through the weekend. temperatures will be rising, the humidity levels too. weather fronts pushing into the north and the west.
