3:34 pm
plays a part in these things so we will see how it advances. the nba draft starts later on thursday. it�*s pretty safe to assume that 19—year—old victor wembanyama will be selected first overall. however, it�*s twin brothers who have caught the eyes of most of the fans. amen and ausar thompson could make history, becoming the first siblings to be picked inside the top 10. they�*ve told us who they�*re looking forward to facing in the nba. everybody. yeah, i'm going to go take a shot- _ everybody. yeah, i'm going to go take a shot. take _ everybody. yeah, i'm going to go take a shot. take it _ everybody. yeah, i'm going to go take a shot. take it out _ everybody. yeah, i'm going to go take a shot. take it out the - everybody. yeah, i'm going to go take a shot. take it out the air. i take a shot. take it out the air. got an 8-foot _ take a shot. take it out the air. got an 8-foot wingspan. - take a shot. take it out the air. i got an 8-foot wingspan. exactly. and that�*s all the sport for now. let�*s return to that hunt for the missing submersible in the north atlanctic. fears are growing for the five people onboard the titan, which lost contact during its descent
3:35 pm
to the wreck of the titanic on sunday. air onboard is forecast to run out today. 0ur correspondentjessica parker reports from boston, where the rescue effort is being co—ordinated. extra equipment is still pouring in. an underwater robot, made by a british firm, has been loaded onto this plane. leaving from the channel islands, it�*s got a long journey. for those actually at the search site, there�*s little time. estimates suggest that the missing sub may, by now, have already run out of oxygen. but friends of those on board still have hope. they wouldn�*t be panicking at all. i believe the two clients are very high—powered businessmen and one of their sons. again, they would be used to not panicking in business. i�*m sure these guys have been hunkering down, conserving their oxygen. they do have chemicals that will suck out the carbon
3:36 pm
dioxide, they even have blankets which wrap around you to take the carbon dioxide out of the air. among the missing are three british citizens — hamish harding, shahzada dawood and his son, suleman. also, french explorer paul—henri nargeolet, and the man behind the expedition, stockton rush. the titan sub was part of his vision for deep sea innovation. but prior concerns about the safety of the vessel have re—emerged. it was... it was not certified. it had no oversight during design, fabrication and testing. it�*s self—certifying, which you call experimental. is there room for experimental? yes. to take people down? no. many may now question if a rescue is still possible and whether this is now more realistically a recovery operation but that is not what the us coast guard has yet said
3:37 pm
and the search goes on. it�*s become an international effort. this footage showcases a high—tech french unmanned robot also sent to the scene. but, as yet, no sign of what they�*ve all been looking for. jessica parker, bbc news, in boston. with more on this, over to our science correspondent jonathan amos in the newsroom. there has been so much focus on that figure of 96 hours in terms of oxygen, but you have been looking at this and there are a number of variables. this and there are a number of variables-_ this and there are a number of variables. , . , ., variables. yes, a huge number, and if ou do variables. yes, a huge number, and if you do the — variables. yes, a huge number, and if you do the simple _ variables. yes, a huge number, and if you do the simple counting - variables. yes, a huge number, and if you do the simple counting from | if you do the simple counting from sunday, then we�*re past the 96 hours but there are so many different factors that come into this, the metabolism of the individuals involved, whether or not they were able to continue to scrub carbon
3:38 pm
dioxide out of the atmosphere inside the saab, very important, notjust a factor oxygen levels may be falling or will have been falling —— inside the sub. the cold is another factor, we know the bottom of the sea floor in the atlantic is close to freezing, it is bridget level, something lower than “4 —— it is refrigerator level. cold can sometimes help, if you have a heart attack or something, and you are in recovery, data you down because it slows your metabolism. we need to be careful when we talk about this number of 96. it could well be that they were able to extend that life—support limit a little bit further out. life-support limit a little bit further out.— life-support limit a little bit further out. let's look at the amount of — further out. let's look at the amount of equipment - further out. let's look at the amount of equipment and i further out. let's look at the - amount of equipment and hardware thatis amount of equipment and hardware that is there. just take us through it in terms of the latest assessment.— it in terms of the latest assessment. , . . m assessment. they are chucking everything _ assessment. they are chucking everything they _ assessment. they are chucking everything they have _ assessment. they are chucking everything they have got - assessment. they are chucking everything they have got at - assessment. they are chucking| everything they have got at this problem. more and more staff is
3:39 pm
going through. the search area now is pretty big, it has to be said. they are talking about 26,000 square kilometres. the americans like to talk in sizes of us states, that is twice the size of the us state of connecticut, we like to talk in sizes of whales, dependability, series 26,000 is a bit bigger than wales. that gives you an idea, and what they do is fly planes over this region and they go backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards, it is the most efficient way to search for anything over the surface. but of course it is focused a lot, you will see this area here, on the titanic wreck site, just above the wreck site. we have got a lot of ships there now, this is a map of some of the ships this morning that when they are, that were deploying equipment and going to help with any
3:40 pm
rescue that was going to occur later in the day or tomorrow whenever. interesting things happened in the last few hours, these ships have come together in a tight pack, fascinating, one of the reasons is there is one ship there called the atalanta which is putting the rov in the water, now in the water, remotely operated vehicle, a robot, tethered, but it can go down and it can look for staff itself. very important. this is one of the last hopes. fit, important. this is one of the last hoes. �* w' important. this is one of the last hoes. �* x' ., important. this is one of the last hoes. �* ., ., .,, , hopes. a quick word on the noises because the _ hopes. a quick word on the noises because the coastguard _ hopes. a quick word on the noises because the coastguard says - because the coastguard says yesterday there were more noisy is detected. , . ., detected. they detected underwater sounds on tuesday _ detected. they detected underwater sounds on tuesday and _ detected. they detected underwater sounds on tuesday and wednesday, | sounds on tuesday and wednesday, they gave those sounds to acoustic experts at the us navy. suspicion is now that maybe that is a red herring. certainly nothing conclusive has come from the us coast guard to say that that might be a definitive detection of the

3:42 pm
and look at some of the analysis done by the bbc. well, analysis by the bbc has revealed that the uk saw one of the worst increases in death rates of major european economies, in the three years since the start of the covid pandemic. 0ur head of statistics robert cuffe is at bbc verify to talk us through the figures. just take us through the data, talkers through the figures you have been looking at. if talkers through the figures you have been looking at.— been looking at. if you catch your mind back _ been looking at. if you catch your mind back to _ been looking at. if you catch your mind back to table, _ been looking at. if you catch your mind back to table, may - been looking at. if you catch your mind back to table, may 2020 . been looking at. if you catch your i mind back to table, may 2020 when the uk was going through one of the worst waves of caving deaths in the world, chris whitty warned against premature comparisons of covid debts, this is what he told us. i have said repeatedly and i will say again, the metric we should be using when we do get to the point it is the right thing to do, which it is definitely not yet, is all—cause mortality adjusted for age. that is the key metric. and he said that again and again because that measure gives you a more rounded picture of the pandemic
3:43 pm
and takes account of one of the big differences between countries, the age of the population, age was one of the big drivers of your covid risk if you got infected. now the inquiry is starting, we gathered that data and have taken a look at that data and have taken a look at that measure. this is what we found. this is the uk. that first year, march 2020 two february 2021 was a terrible year for the uk, march 2020 two february 2021 was a terrible yearfor the uk, two huge waves and we saw death rates running at about 50% higher than we have seenin at about 50% higher than we have seen in the five years before the pandemic. in the second day, things looked a lot better, death rates running below historical averages. but the third year doesn�*t look so good, death race drifting back up again and heatwaves, flu season, nhs pressures didn�*t help. put those three years together, you get an average of about 5.5% above levels seen before the pandemic. let�*s see how that compares to other countries
3:44 pm
around the world. you can see straightaway the uk is looking a lot harder hit than countries like new zealand, scandinavian nations, probably in the bottom end of the major european economies but far better than eastern european countries like poland or the us where debts had been running at 15% every year over the last years above the level seen before the pandemic. —— deaths. events are taking place today to mark the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the ship that started organised caribbean migration to britain. known as the windrush generation, after the name of the boat, they came from colonial territories to help fill britain�*s post—war labour shortages. king charles wasjoined earlier by children and the descendants of windrush pioneers at a service which celebrated the difference that generation has made to britain. this took place at the st george�*s
3:45 pm
chapel at windsor castle, the place of worship for the king and the royalfamily. we can now speak to trevor sterling, chair of the mary seacole trust. trevor�*s parents arrived in britain in 1959 as part of the windrush generation. thank you for being here with us. what does windrush day mean to someone like yourself? it what does windrush day mean to someone like yourself?— what does windrush day mean to someone like yourself? it means a tremendous _ someone like yourself? it means a tremendous amount, _ someone like yourself? it means a tremendous amount, partly - someone like yourself? it means a i tremendous amount, partly because someone like yourself? it means a - tremendous amount, partly because it is an opportunity to celebrate my parents and i�*m really proud of my parents and i�*m really proud of my parents are still with us at age 85 and 86. for them to recognise that they are recognised for their significant contribution, alongside the rest of the windrush generation what a tremendous generation they have been, tremendous opportunities they have given to somebody like me. for me it is an opportunity to celebrate and to express thanks to
3:46 pm
that tremendous generation. i said in the introduction _ that tremendous generation. i said in the introduction they _ that tremendous generation. i said in the introduction they came in 1959, tell me a little about their story and how it impacted you. your sense of identity. thea;r story and how it impacted you. your sense of identity.— sense of identity. they came from a rural art sense of identity. they came from a rural part of — sense of identity. they came from a rural part ofjamaica, _ sense of identity. they came from a rural part of jamaica, manchester i sense of identity. they came from a rural part ofjamaica, manchester in j rural part ofjamaica, manchester in jamaica, and for them it was a huge change, what they saw before they came, many of their friends and connections coming here, so they took the opportunity to come here and what they found when they came here wasn�*t quite the welcome that they were expecting. but like so many like them, they worked incredibly hard to be able to take advantage of the opportunities that were available to them. we have had in the recent issues that have made it difficult for them and difficult for my generation to. but i think it is really important that we try and
3:47 pm
celebrate the great contribution they have made, which has made this city, this country incredibly diverse and multicultural. we looked at the plus and in the upside of that and we celebrated. aha, at the plus and in the upside of that and we celebrated.- that and we celebrated. a twin ruestion that and we celebrated. a twin question if _ that and we celebrated. a twin question if i — that and we celebrated. a twin question ifi could, _ that and we celebrated. a twin question ifi could, because i that and we celebrated. a twin l question ifi could, because you question if i could, because you mentioned the obvious difficulties, the scandals we know about from the last years, i know you have worked with campaign groups, or other sort of stories you have heard and your work also is with the mary siegel trust which is taught in schools, i wonder if you think there is a way of reading and more about the windrush generation —— mary seacole. the recent scandal is a reminder to us that all is not entirely right in our society. us that all is not entirely right in oursociety. it us that all is not entirely right in our society. it is important that we do not overlook the need to take and continue to take action to achieve
3:48 pm
social justice and continue to take action to achieve socialjustice and equality. it is a tremendous shame that it happened and it is an indictment on this country, but if we take the positive from it, we now have a windrush day, and more people now know the windrush story. it is important we do take that positive. turning to what you have said about mary seacole, that is incredibly important because the windrush was a pivotal point in history. but we must remember that the contributions were there way before empire windrush. there were diverse contributions from the society going back centuries, and mary seacole is a case in point, her involvement during the crimean war. it is important she is on the curriculum, that what is taught as british history are the many stories of the many people that have come here from the many lands to make britain great britain. taste the many lands to make britain great britain. ~ ., , britain. we will leave it there but thank ou

3:51 pm
of a daring rescue mission, carried out by a german officer who was hiding the fact that he was actually a jew, to save his cousin from the nazis�* first concentration camp. we can now speak to susan servais, who is kathe mueller slonim�*s daughter, the author of escape from dachau: a true story of survival, courage, and a daring escape in the face of unthinkable evil. what an incredible story, just so our viewers know, this was written ijy our viewers know, this was written by your mother shortly before she died. take me through it, when we shall grant further saint to dachau? i want to thank you so much for having me on. my grandfather was literally dragged out of his home on november ten of 1938, which was a day after the infamous kristallnacht.— day after the infamous kristallnacht. , ., m kristallnacht. tell us more. he was taken to dachau _ kristallnacht. tell us more. he was

3:56 pm
but we�*re going to find a scattering of showers around as well and maybe a risk of some slow moving thunderstorms through parts of the midlands and eastern england as well. warm in the sunshine again today. temperatures widely the low to mid 20s and could make 28 degrees in the south east of england. those showers that do develop shouldn�*t last too long this evening. they�*ll fade away and it�*ll be dry for a while. but then as we head further into the night, we�*re going to find cloud coming in from the atlantic that will bring some rain into northern ireland, pushed a cloud over the irish sea heading into western scotland as well. quite a warm night tonight, but there are warmer and more humid nights to come as we head into the weekend. this is the picture, though, on friday. and that rain clears northern ireland to be followed by some sharp showers, some rain pushes into scotland, into northern england and across wales. northern england and across wales. many sheltered eastern areas may well be dry and through much of the midlands towards the southeast we should see more sunshine around here. and this is where we�*ll see the highest temperatures around the mid 20s in the south east of england. under the cloud and some rain at times further north and west temperatures will be a bit lower
3:57 pm
and temperatures may be a bit lower for the women�*s ashes cricket at trent bridge, day two. it should be dry though this time, even though there will be quite a bit of cloud around. and there�*ll be quite a cloudy start, i think, for many of us to start the weekend, we will see the overnight rain clearing away. just a few showers around, mainly drifting northwards across scotland. the cloud should tend to thin and break and that will allow it to get warmer temperatures into the mid twenties for scotland and northern ireland and could be close to 30 degrees in the south east of england. so it�*s getting hot on saturday. it�*s also getting really quite humid as we draw this humid air, this muggy airfrom continental europe ahead of this weather front, which will eventually bring a change in the weather that�*s going to bring some heavy rain and some thunderstorms into northern ireland and then through the day towards scotland, wales and some western parts of england. staying dry until late in the day for eastern areas. here, it�*s still going to be very muggy. temperatures could be 30 degrees in the southeast and east anglia. out to the west after the rain, it does turn a little cooler
