five people have been trapped on board since sunday morning in a tight space designed for a dive of no more than eight hours. we have relocated our remote operated vehicles on site to search in those areas, but at this time, i don't have any confirmation of what the noise is. the other main story tonight is more grim financial data that heaps yet more pressure on households. food prices remain high as inflation, the rate at which prices rise in the uk, stayed stuck at 8.7% last month. huge flames in paris after a gas explosion. at least four people are in a critical condition. —— at least 16 people are injured, some critically. the facade of a building has collapsed onto the street. the impact of lockdown — we report on the sharp rise in the number of young girls with eating disorders and self harming.

and thousands head to glastonbury for a weekend of sunshine and music. also this hour: armed police are called to a london hospital after two people are stabbed. one is in a life—threatening condition. a man has been arrested. it is not being treated as terror —related. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. fewer than 20 hours of oxygen remain in this sub for the five and we are ensuring that their concerns are being addressed. we are incredibly grateful for the full spectrum of international assistance that has been provided.—

6:03 pm
assets of the titan and more assets to come in a 24 to 48 hours. there are rov are ovi and more are the much more. we have received incredible support from the air national guard, and canadian armed forces and others. they are back sites and one ongoing know as i speak with hours of continuous coverage and to see — 31 flights going on now and throughout the evening. yesterday a canadian p3 heard sounds in the area. although the rov searches have yielded negative results they continue. additionally, the data from the aircraft has been shared with our us navy experts for further analysis.

which would be considered in future research plans. the surface search is now approximately two times the amount of connecticut and the subsurface searches up to two matthew. essentially, expanded the size of the search area and with the factor in the ever—changing weather conditions and currents and see states that expend the sea search area every hour. there is enormous complexity with this case due to the search been so far offshore and the coordination between multiple agencies and nations. we appreciate the outpouring of support to provide additional equipment. the unified command continues to prioritise assets and resources to provide the best capability in the most timely manner. this includes weighing multiple factors to identify the best resources available for the response operation. with careful consideration to the timeless of equipment arriving on scene and usefulness to aid in the search
6:05 pm
area. over the past 48 hours, we have mobilise and implement in a tremendous amount of expertise and response capability to stop in addition to the ships and aircraft mentioned, we dispatched to subject matter experts who will serve as search coordinators on scene for coordinator operations. i have been stressing unity of effort a lot in the statement and that's because it's critical to this operation. our thoughts are and prayers are with the crew and families of the loved one and we will continue to work as hard as possible to look at them. i would take a few questions before i do that i want to have each of the members of the team here introduce themselves and then i will go ahead and take some questions. goad and take some questions. good afternoon. _ and take some questions. good afternoon. i _ and take some questions. good afternoon, i am _ and take some questions. good afternoon, i am paul— and take some questions. good afternoon, i am paul hagans i and take some questions. good afternoon, i am paul hagans the director— afternoon, i am paul hagans the director for operations with us navies—

6:07 pm
news is we are searching in the area where the noises are detected and will continue to do so and we hope that when we are able to get additional rov the intent would be continue to search in the area where the noises were detected and if they continue to be detected and put additional rov on the last position in the search was being place. fire in the search was being place. are the noises — in the search was being place. are the noises being done in 30 minute intervals as as been reported? i have not heard of that. i do not have a trained ear for underwater aquatics, that's why about team of experts analysing that data. it was sent to be us navy last night and analyse overnight —— looking at it that i can tell you it's inconclusive. i think the important piece is that we are searching in the area where the noises were detected. . , ., the area where the noises were detected. ., , ., ., ~ ., the area where the noises were detected. ., i. ., ~ ., detected. can you talk about same line and what _ detected. can you talk about same line and what time _ detected. can you talk about same line and what time that _ detected. can you talk about same line and what time that you - detected. can you talk about same line and what time that you are - line and what time that you are working on in conjunction with the

6:19 pm
vehicles, they are five or so out there, that number will increase with more on the way. five search assets is the exact phrase which will increase to ten. so, that might be whiter than remotely operated because but those are being operated right now and that number is expected to increase. we spent a lot of time speaking about those noises and to talk us through that i would bring in our science correspondent jonathan amos who's with me in the studio here and listening in. a few interesting things about the noises. let's start there. firstly that admission saying we simply don't know what the noises are. there's more to it and what stood out to you? more to it and what stood out to ou? ., , ., , , you? for me is that this is more than one detection. _ you? for me is that this is more than one detection. they i you? for me is that this is more than one detection. they heard | than one detection. they heard noises yesterday and he heard noises today. now, the ocean is a very noisy place, right? there are lots
6:20 pm
of surface assets which basically means ships on the surface. noise travels a long way it travels fast in water, 1500 metres per second. so they have to disentangle all of that noise and try to zero in on what these detections are. now, at the moment, they are describing them as inconclusive but they are with the acoustic experience with the us navy and the captain that made is that irrespective of what they are and what it turned out to be, they are searching in those areas. they have ships above those areas and they also have remotely operated vehicles in the water too. they need to narrow the search area. we are talking about the oxygen in this vessel running out tomorrow. basically. the calculations, we were talking to the head of the coastguard earlier today, probably
6:21 pm
around, all things being equal, somewhere around 11am gmt. 12 midday bst, so early morning east coast time in the united states. they are talking about a search area, on the grand scale, of 16,000 talking about a search area, on the grand scale, of16,000 km. they talking about a search area, on the grand scale, of 16,000 km. they need to get it down for some you think about these rov�*s, the real move slowly. they move walking pace. if you put one down, you may have some confidence that sub is in area. think i bought how long it would take to search a kilometres square at walking pace on looking for something that is the size of a van in the darkness with sonar, and active sonar which may have a range of 100 metres or so if you're looking down. of100 metres or so if you're looking down.— of 100 metres or so if you're lookin: down. ~ , , ., looking down. with every element you brou:ht in looking down. with every element you brought in their _ looking down. with every element you brought in their immediate _ looking down. with every element you brought in their immediate harder i looking down. with every element you brought in their immediate harder to l brought in their immediate harder to find. �* ,

6:23 pm
crest of a wave to the bottom. so, these are not easy conditions for them but they have a lots of equipment and are throwing everything they have acted. we heard from the captain of the aircraft, the aircraft put down these listening devices, they're kind of like bullies, they hang off other equipment to search for other navy submarines. that's what they use them for but if these signals are real and this is what the us navy experts are trying to do they can locate, if they have a number of these devices, and are sure the sounds are real, there will be up to julie locates on the sea floor where the sub might be and they can direct the rov�*s in to narrow the search and to find the sub. the key is that when they going there with after
6:24 pm
going blind to the scenario that they face. they would have gained every scenario that they have, if the sub on the sea floor because it's taking on water? is it on the sea floor because it snagged on something? whatever they're confronted with, they would have to have a preplanned solution to address it. have a preplanned solution to address it— have a preplanned solution to address it. . , address it. the last thing under noises because _ address it. the last thing under noises because so _ address it. the last thing under noises because so much i address it. the last thing under noises because so much time i address it. the last thing under i noises because so much time was on it, what struck me there is that the expert i was coming was a pretty generic insisting generic at the top but then did say, they are described as quote, banging noises, so it felt to me a bit of reluctance to go into much detail because of the uncertainty but when pushed he described it as banging noises. now, visuals in the area can also meet banging noises but beyond that he seemed to be emphasising the fact that whether or not that is the case, they provide a targeted, as
6:25 pm
you're talking about, to head to and every single analyst and acoustic analyst there is feeding that back to the search teams and they are directing the search accordingly. let's be super optimistic for a moment. and consider what might be a great scenario, that is that the sub is on the sea floor, it's without power as we know, otherwise they will be using standard communications systems that are on board, so what they're doing is tapping on the mental ends of this vessel, the sub any time structured patterned way that distinguishes them from natural noise in the ocean. and it's a signal that the rescue services can go after. thank oujohn rescue services can go after. thank you john amos _ rescue services can go after. thank you john amos for _ rescue services can go after. thank you john amos for your _ rescue services can go after. thank you john amos for your expertise, | you john amos for your expertise, will be back with you if you the teacher we're taking a short break i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is bbc news.
6:26 pm
hello there. for most of us, it's been another warm, sunnyjune day. take a look at godalming. earlier on, you can see a beautiful summer solstice story, but there have been some showers around and some of them fairly persistent, some running through glastonbury, some through wales, up into lincolnshire and others across eastern scotland. just take a look at aberdeen just a few hours ago, threatening looking skies. you knew what was heading in your direction, but most those showers will tend to fade away as we go through the evening and overnight, a little bit of fair weather cloud still the risk of an isolated shower from that cloud, maybe a bit misty and murky towards dawn. it's going to be a mild start with those temperatures holding up, perhaps just dipping into single figures in eastern scotland. so starting off tomorrow morning, lots of sunshine from the word go. but as we go through the afternoon, there's yet again a risk of some showers. now, some of those showers heavy, possibly with some hail and some thunder and the distribution of those showers across eastern england down into east anglia.
