including the canadian armed forces and the coastguard, and then also with private sector entities including the oceangate expedition. we are focused on bringing all assets to bear on this search for the submersible. this has happened in a remote location of the coastline of cape cod by 900 miles. we have prioritised a surface search and then a subsurface search so we have two vessels remotely operated that are conducting a subsurface search and we have aircraft and a service that immigrate surface vessel during the surface search ——

people on board and motivated by the family members because we understand how difficult this is for them as well. we are working really hard around the clock to bring our capability to bear on this search and hopefully locate the submersible.— and hopefully locate the submersible. . ,, ., submersible. talk me through the practicalities _ submersible. talk me through the practicalities because _ submersible. talk me through the practicalities because you - submersible. talk me through the practicalities because you have . submersible. talk me through the l practicalities because you have said it is a very challenging and complex task you are facing. you have two operations going on, a search on the surface and also a search underwater. and if you locate this vessel, you have then got to try and get it up. vessel, you have then got to try and net it u -. , vessel, you have then got to try and net it u. , ., vessel, you have then got to try and u-etitu. , , , get it up. there is a complex series of operations _ get it up. there is a complex series of operations which _ get it up. there is a complex series of operations which are _ get it up. there is a complex series of operations which are going - get it up. there is a complex series of operations which are going on i of operations which are going on right now and our focus is on the search because we have to do first of all locate the submersible and the people and so we have had

aircraft flying over the area. they have searched an area that is roughly the size of the state of connecticut and if this were, if the submersible was to surface, it would be caught in the winds and over time that expanse quite dramatically —— expanse. we have calculations to look at this but we have been flying in the air with multiple aircraft. and then we have been prosecuting the subsurface search and yesterday we had remote controlled vehicles operating antidote those are the operations continue —— and today those rv operations continue and they will continue later into the night and into tomorrow morning to increase our capability. there are a lot of things at play in addition to

that, focused on mobilising to support the search. we loaded up remote operated vehicles with container loads with more remote operated gear and we got that out to the site so there is a tremendous amount of work which goes into this but we are really focused on the search and have the right experts to prosecute the search.

understand that is a difficult calculation to predict because it is based on the number of occupants and their consumption. we are looking at a period of time, about 20 hours from now, into tomorrow morning, that we may be at the end of that 96 hour window. that said, we are continuing to put all available resources into their search right now and we will continue to prioritise the search as we go forward. �* u. , , prioritise the search as we go forward. �* u, , , h, prioritise the search as we go forward. �* , , ., forward. because time is so short, ou have forward. because time is so short, you have to _ forward. because time is so short, you have to game _ forward. because time is so short, you have to game plan _ forward. because time is so short, you have to game plan every - forward. because time is so short, i you have to game plan every scenario and if _ you have to game plan every scenario and if you _ you have to game plan every scenario and if you find the sub, in the next 20 hours. — and if you find the sub, in the next 20 hours, you have got to react to different _ 20 hours, you have got to react to different situations and you need to plan for— different situations and you need to plan for those now. so that you can

when she was just eight—years—old, june's father, joseph armatrading, vanished from her life. he had arrived in britain from st kitts in 1954 as part of the windrush generation. he had a wife and five daughters, but he was in a hospital struggling with his mental health. and in 1966, her mother told them that he had gone back home, never to be seen by them again. i did feel, and i still do, we was abandoned. we were left. it's a massive, big heart break. because you just think...why me? we're about to showjune documents that will transform her understanding of her own life. really sad because... oh, sorry. they reveal thatjoseph armatrading was repatriated to st kitts on mental health grounds. but, upon arrival, he wrote to the uk government that he wanted

to return to his family. in internal letters, officials admit mistakes were made in his case and that he should be allowed to return. but he never did. it's an emotional discovery for june, who's never known any of this. i'm still shocked now. i'm upset. it's upsetting. it's really upsetting to know that. how dare they? this was a vulnerable man. you're supposed to look after your vulnerable people. and they didn't, theyjust left him. they abandoned him. joseph's was one of many cases where mentally ill patients were repatriated to the caribbean. using documents stored in the national archives, for the first time, we can show the extent of how many of the windrush generation were repatriated in the i950s, �*60s and �*70s.

our findings show more than 400 chronically sick and mentally ill patients were sent back to the caribbean. and evidence suggests it wasn't always for their benefit. government documents from the i960s show that people likejune's dad should only have been repatriated if they wanted to return, if their doctor felt it would benefit their health, and if there were resources there to look after them. but this letterfrom the jamaican high commission says hospital authorities were trying to send patients back largely due to pressure on beds, giving the impression that this was being done regardless of whether adequate treatment was available. the windrush generation had the same legal status as someone born in the uk. lawyerjacqueline mckenzie has represented hundreds of victims of the windrush scandal. she and other experts we've spoken to questioned the legality of the repatriations.

we do not know the full extent of it and how many thousands of people may be affected, in terms of children and grandchildren of some of the people who went. the state now owes it to the descendants of people who were affected to provide them with answers and some sort of redress. she and june are now calling for an inquiry into these repatriations. in a statement, a government spokesperson said: but forjune, she's still left with the question of what happened to her father. they've left us lost.

i'm a lost girl looking for answers. navteonhal, bbc news. we can now speak tojulia, the granddaughter. how did the family react when you saw those letters? it was overwhelming and deeply emotional to everybody involved. nevertheless, because my mother had been searching for the whole of her aduu been searching for the whole of her adult life to find her father and find what happened and to find the truth for her and it really consumed her whole life. any ruin of any family causes a lack of security,

it is only when you know the truth that survivors of these things can heal and accountability can start to happen. the government needs to be accountable for the decimation and the destruction of families. and what that caused and the impact it had. it spreads and goes across generations will top the windrush generations will top the windrush generation is notjust a generation of the windrush, they were largely marginalised and traumatised people. i will come back to that in a moment but you said you want to find out more about how this happened. in terms of what you know so far, given that this particular development was under the guise of mental health, there's the whole issue about those affected, whether they understood and whether they have the capacity to resist what was actually happening to them at the time. yes. happening to them at the time. yes, there's a stigma _ happening to them at the time. yes

there's a stigma attached to mental health as it is, and when you incorporate that with the windrush generation, it shuts down the whole conversation that needs to happen because of the stigma attached and people are scared to talk. and open the discussion. a lot of them were in the dark and nobody knew the truth. ., ., ,., ., , ., truth. tell me more about what you would like the _ truth. tell me more about what you would like the government - truth. tell me more about what you would like the government to i would like the government to actually do and you said you wanted an inquiry about the government have been so heavily criticised in terms of the way they have handled the windrush scandal to date around compensation and everything that has been so delayed and contested, what is your hope with this particular aspect to it?— is your hope with this particular asect to it? ,., ., , ., ., aspect to it? personally, i want to know what — aspect to it? personally, i want to know what happened _ aspect to it? personally, i want to know what happened to _ aspect to it? personally, i want to know what happened to my - know what happened to my grandfather, first and foremost. i can speak for my aunt as well, we need to know. we all need to know what happened. and why they felt abandoned and where isjoseph armatrading? we don't know where he

today isjune 2ist, summer solstice. it's when daylight hours seem to go on forever. and if we take a look at this chart, they're pretty impressive. many of us seeing sunrise just before 5:00 and not setting until after 9:30, 10:00. so, most of us will see 17 hours of daylight today. enjoy, if you can. we've got some showers around, most frequent and widespread the further north and west in scotland and northern ireland, but some through wales and south west close to glastonbury as well. and these are likely to threaten on and off throughout the afternoon. some places will stay dry and if you've got that sunshine, you've also got that warmth once again, with temperatures peaking at 25 degrees, 77 fahrenheit. now, through the night, those temperatures will fall away. not going to be quite as humid as the nightjust past. so thursday morning, we start off in single figures in scotland, around 13 or iii degrees for england and wales. there'll be a lot of dry weather around first thing in the morning

and then the risk of some showers but in a different place, perhaps across northeast england, down towards east anglia and the east midlands. some of those showers could be heavy and thundery. if you dodge them, we could see a warmer day, 27 degrees. that's up to 80 fahrenheit. that bodes well if you're putting up the tent at glastonbury on thursday. lots of sunshine around, increasing humidity as we go through the weekend, risk maybe of a shower on sunday. but it's a pretty promising forecast and that's because we've got this high pressure down to the south. now, weather fronts are trying to topple across that high. so at times, they will bring outbreaks of rain across the far north and west. so, on friday we might see cloudier conditions gradually developing down through england and wales, perhaps the best of the sunshine in south east england. but some of this rain a little bit further north and west could be heavy. so a little bit fresher, low 20s as a maximum here, 25 degrees in the southeast corner. we keep that heat and humidity because we've got this high pressure dragging in the south—westerly flow, but low pressure never too far away. so, if we put the weather fronts on,

you can see there's always the risk of more wetter weather through the weekend, the further north and west you go. so, we could see a north—south divide developing into the weekend with showers or longer spells of rain at times. but it stays pretty warm in the south.
