of planet earth, and he has trained as a submersible pilot as well as an aviation pilot. he is capable of every scenario. when our plane fare was as we were flying over the south pole, minus ii7 fahrenheit, hamish was calm and collected and he was telling you what to do at every moment in time to get us safely back. some of the things he mentioned there, speak about his time i very much wanted to do as an exploration as part of his interest in exploration. what is it that made him decide to do this particular trip? what is that he was particularly keen about? payments has alwa s particularly keen about? payments has always spoken _ particularly keen about? payments has always spoken about _ particularly keen about? payments has always spoken about going - particularly keen about? payments has always spoken about going to l particularly keen about? payments i has always spoken about going to the titanic. he's always dreamt about going to the titanic. so he's

first ever tour to the wreckage was by the titan many sub injuly of 2021. there have been several trips since, but this latest voyage is the first to have gone so wrong. and there were several factors that are making it so hard to find. the there were several factors that are making it so hard to find.- making it so hard to find. the first is the ragged _ making it so hard to find. the first is the ragged nature _ making it so hard to find. the first is the ragged nature of— making it so hard to find. the first is the ragged nature of the - making it so hard to find. the first is the ragged nature of the ocean | is the ragged nature of the ocean floor, which might mean the summary ends hidden in a canyon, more ragged on the ocean that it is on land. the second is the depth of water, and the current might have made the submarine draught and the third is the pressure at that depth. other detection could and can't find it or get down that far. the detection could and can't find it or get down that far.— detection could and can't find it or get down that far. the problem for the search teams _ get down that far. the problem for the search teams is _ get down that far. the problem for the search teams is that _ get down that far. the problem for the search teams is that titan - get down that far. the problem for the search teams is that titan is i the search teams is that titan is really small for a submarine, just 6.7 metres long. it has sensors all across its hall, which are supposed to give early warning of any ruptures and leaks. it is capable of descending to the depth of the titanic, 3800 metres, but that is

too deep for most rescue vessels. inside, it is really tight postop room forjust inside, it is really tight postop room for just five inside, it is really tight postop room forjust five passengers on a narrow floor postop they suggest there may be enough oxygen forjust two to three days. there may be enough oxygen for “ust two to three days.�* two to three days. there is no esca -e two to three days. there is no escape pod- _ two to three days. there is no escape pod- if— two to three days. there is no escape pod. if you _ two to three days. there is no escape pod. if you came - two to three days. there is no escape pod. if you came out l two to three days. there is no| escape pod. if you came out of two to three days. there is no - escape pod. if you came out of the water into the water at those depths, you would be crushed. so they are totally reliant on the submersible being found and the very difficult task of recovering it in a very short period.— difficult task of recovering it in a very short period. rescue efforts are intensifying, _ very short period. rescue efforts are intensifying, but _ very short period. rescue efforts are intensifying, but experts - very short period. rescue efforts are intensifying, but experts say | are intensifying, but experts say there are enormous challenges. the loner it there are enormous challenges. the longer it goes on in the longer we don't _ longer it goes on in the longer we don't hear— longer it goes on in the longer we don't hear anything, the more concerned _ don't hear anything, the more concerned one would be. the fact that they — concerned one would be. the fact that they haven't been able to make contact, _ that they haven't been able to make contact, the fact that we don't know what has _ contact, the fact that we don't know what has happened precisely other than loss_ what has happened precisely other than loss of communications means that, _ than loss of communications means that, as _ than loss of communications means that, as if— than loss of communications means that, as if a — than loss of communications means that, as if a needle in a haystack.

if the _ that, as if a needle in a haystack. if the vessel _ that, as if a needle in a haystack. if the vessel is trapped under the sea, the darkness and intensifier pressure will make it hard to find and harder still to mount a rescue. their best hope is that titan has somehow found its way to the surface. you are watching bbc news. hello and welcome to sportsday this tuesday night — i'm chetan pathak, coming up on the programme: we'll be live at edgbaston where england are doing all they can to win the first ashes test? it's been a rollercoaster first ashes test so far and once the rain clouds moved on — this final day has been as tense as the others before it. england knew their task at the start of play — stop australia scoring 17a runs today. the tourists resumed 107 for 3.

stuart broad made the first breakthrough, taking the wicket the score at that stage, wickets haven't been falling as regularly as england would like, usman khwajha proving stubborn again, hitting a half century and when ollie robinson bowled cameron green he made it 192 for six but the match remains in the balance: the drama has been following since then. joe root with a vacant, my goodness me, ben stokes comes close to getting one himself. at the ball falling out of his hands when it mattered. the one man following all of this is patrick geary at edgbaston, and this is fascinatingly placed. england fans biting their nails at the moment.— nails at the moment. yeah, absolutely. _ nails at the moment. yeah, absolutely. i— nails at the moment. yeah, absolutely. iwill_ nails at the moment. yeah, absolutely. i will try - nails at the moment. yeah, absolutely. i will try to - nails at the moment. yeah, | absolutely. i will try to keep nails at the moment. yeah, - absolutely. i will try to keep you up—to—date, because so much is happening. it's very difficult to keep track of it. we had that

wonderful ball, from alex, the ozzie's last senior better, so when joe root gets him, i australia just need more than 50 runs to win the match. england right in it they are just needing two wickets for a victory. after that, pat cummins come to the crease, the australian captain. he decides to go on the counter attack. captain. he decides to go on the counterattack. he captain. he decides to go on the counter attack. he has two big sixes to get back to target down. he is joined by nathan, the ozzie spinner, a man who loves a fight, loves a scrap. he went for some big shots himself but it nearly got them in trouble as you say, so nearly caught by ben stokes, but has stokes hit the ground, the ball fell out of his hands. —— ortwo. the ground, the ball fell out of his hands. —— or two. australian aegis 27 runs now, england two wickets, we can play later to make for that time, lost to rain. as you can see the lights still pretty good and it's so difficult to guess which way this test is going to go. —— aussie. that has been the case all the way through it's been what has made it such an engrossing start to the

to get a result tonight given how much they put into that game on saturday. looking absolutely exhausted stop that i can understand why they were tired from it was incredible he had to the stadium. and i think there is a positivity, i think there is a belief in the group will stop we have momentum which is such an important thing in international football, so such an important thing in internationalfootball, so i am such an important thing in international football, so i am very confident and i think everybody in scotland is very confident, this site is capable of reaching germany next summer, and tonight we have a long way to go to get us there. i was going to say, if they do get a win tonight, but he feel pretty confident to be booking flights to germany? i confident to be booking flights to german ? . . , confident to be booking flights to german ? . ., , , , germany? i already feel pretty confident. _ germany? i already feel pretty confident, this _ germany? i already feel pretty confident, this togetherness, l germany? i already feel pretty i confident, this togetherness, not just at the players everyone's pulling in one direction i think they'rejust about
