has discovered little while because the us coast guard says it has discovered debris in the search area for the missing submersible titan in the north atlantic. the us coast guard says it will give more detail to the news conference at nine o'clock uk time this evening. we hearfrom the daughter of one of those on board still hoping for a rescue. does the main developments to straight back to that story because that breaking news emerging in the last 30 minutes orso news emerging in the last 30 minutes or so that there has been debris found in that search area for the missing submersible. fears have been growing for the five people on board that missing vessel which lost contact during dissent to the wreck of the titanic. just a few hours ago, the us coast guard insisted it still remained focused on finding the crew alive. such history back to boston. who has been covering this for us since that news broke from the

coastguard. it is only one line but it is sufficient for them to put it out and they have not been doing that to the course of the last few days so i suspect that is significant, but the detail also is very significant and certainly it is pushing back, normally when they talk to us and update us they give themselves more time to actually analyse what they have actually found. absolutely right and we have been waiting for this information all morning essentially. this urgent search has been going on for a few days now. every day the coastguard has been updating reporters and the press in the afternoon, but this particular press conference is going to be crucial because they will hopefully release more details on what those rovs remote operated vehicles have indeed discovered near the site of the titanic. i want to bring it our reporter carl because he has been here for a few days following all of this. you are at the press conference yesterday as well. they were really looking, this

technology in particular, to be helpful in moving that search along, weren't they?— helpful in moving that search along, weren't they? they were because it's like findin: weren't they? they were because it's like finding a — weren't they? they were because it's like finding a needle _ weren't they? they were because it's like finding a needle in _ weren't they? they were because it's like finding a needle in the _ like finding a needle in the haystack will stop at a such a big area _ haystack will stop at a such a big area that — haystack will stop at a such a big area that they have been searching and they have done so much work they have a _ and they have done so much work they have a comparison to the size of the state _ have a comparison to the size of the state of _ have a comparison to the size of the state of connecticut. they looked across _ state of connecticut. they looked across to — state of connecticut. they looked across to connecticut's, essentially above _ across to connecticut's, essentially above the — across to connecticut's, essentially above the ocean. we had the confirmation of those noises as well at the _ confirmation of those noises as well at the press conference at that led them _ at the press conference at that led them to— at the press conference at that led them to look in that area, deploy some _ them to look in that area, deploy some rovs there. it sounds as if this debris — some rovs there. it sounds as if this debris field may be closer to the original dive site, we will have to wait— the original dive site, we will have to wait and — the original dive site, we will have to wait and see. this is crucial. this is— to wait and see. this is crucial. this is such _ to wait and see. this is crucial. this is such key equipment because so few_ this is such key equipment because so few vessels are able to make it down to _ so few vessels are able to make it down to those kinds of depths. if you warit— down to those kinds of depths. if you want to have any kind of visual confirmation of anything you will need _ confirmation of anything you will need to— confirmation of anything you will need to use one of these remotely operated _ need to use one of these remotely operated vehicles. the sonar buoys have to _ operated vehicles. the sonar buoys have to kind of operations, one listening — have to kind of operations, one listening for sounds of that is what we believe — listening for sounds of that is what we believe was picked up at the last couple _ we believe was picked up at the last couple of— we believe was picked up at the last couple of days the other is a little bit more — couple of days the other is a little bit more active and it is painting the singles down to the ocean floor

and seeing — the singles down to the ocean floor and seeing what emerges from the shapes— and seeing what emerges from the shapes it's — and seeing what emerges from the shapes it's not very accurate there so much _ shapes it's not very accurate there so much on — shapes it's not very accurate there so much on the floor of the ocean and that— so much on the floor of the ocean and that it — so much on the floor of the ocean and that it is very weighty and there is— and that it is very weighty and there is lots of texture so it is not there is lots of texture so it is hot the — there is lots of texture so it is not the best way to be very accurate with your detection. the best way is to get down— with your detection. the best way is to get down there with the rovs with cameras _ to get down there with the rovs with cameras on _ to get down there with the rovs with cameras on that and see for yourself _ cameras on that and see for yourself-— cameras on that and see for ourself. ., , ., , , ,, ., cameras on that and see for ourself. ., ,, ,, ., yourself. there was a spike of hope when the news _ yourself. there was a spike of hope when the news came _ yourself. there was a spike of hope when the news came out _ yourself. there was a spike of hope when the news came out that - yourself. there was a spike of hope when the news came out that some yourself. there was a spike of hope i when the news came out that some of the search and rescue crews had identified this tapping or banging. but there never was an ability to trace it to its source was there? these were picked up we believe by the sonar— these were picked up we believe by the sonar buoys and what you can do with them, _ the sonar buoys and what you can do with them, if you have enough of them _ with them, if you have enough of them in — with them, if you have enough of them in the water you can essentially triangulate the location. you can time how long it takes _ location. you can time how long it takes for— location. you can time how long it takes for the noise to get you one buoy— takes for the noise to get you one buoy and — takes for the noise to get you one buoy and another one in using that you can _ buoy and another one in using that you can calculate a general area. one of— you can calculate a general area. one of the — you can calculate a general area. one of the problems is that because we are _ one of the problems is that because we are talking about depths two miles— we are talking about depths two miles more, to a half miles down, those _ miles more, to a half miles down, those calculations become a little bit less _ those calculations become a little bit less accurate. so i think you are me —

been some sort of catastrophic failure, a leak in the hole or whatever it may have been that would have led to the submersible breaking apart? have led to the submersible breaking a art? , ., , ., ., apart? yes. there have been a lot of different theories _ apart? yes. there have been a lot of different theories and _ apart? yes. there have been a lot of different theories and a _ apart? yes. there have been a lot of different theories and a lot - apart? yes. there have been a lot of different theories and a lot of - different theories and a lot of different theories and a lot of different scenarios of floating arounds — different scenarios of floating arounds from the very beginning. 0ne arounds from the very beginning. one was that— arounds from the very beginning. one was that potentially there was some sort of— was that potentially there was some sort of problem, loss mitigation, and the — sort of problem, loss mitigation, and the vessels surfaced. we were hoping _ and the vessels surfaced. we were hoping to— and the vessels surfaced. we were hoping to maybe find out. that's what _ hoping to maybe find out. that's what we — hoping to maybe find out. that's what we have seen so many planes in the area _ what we have seen so many planes in the area looking on the surface, it may be _ the area looking on the surface, it may be floating there and they can io may be floating there and they can go retrieve — may be floating there and they can go retrieve it that way. a second scenario — go retrieve it that way. a second scenario was it could be trapped. so it could _ scenario was it could be trapped. so it could be _ scenario was it could be trapped. so it could be caught up in some sort of netting. — it could be caught up in some sort of netting, some sort of wreckage of the two _ of netting, some sort of wreckage of the two to— of netting, some sort of wreckage of the two to make itself that may be stuck, _ the two to make itself that may be stuck, may— the two to make itself that may be stuck, may have lost communication, and that— stuck, may have lost communication, and that would be something that these _ and that would be something that these rovs that are now on the site have mechanical arms could go and try and _ have mechanical arms could go and try and rescue. unfortunately, the third _ try and rescue. unfortunately, the third scenario was in this is something that experts have mentioned, scientists have mentioned that there _ mentioned, scientists have mentioned that there could be a catastrophic failure _ that there could be a catastrophic failure at — that there could be a catastrophic failure. at the steps and put that pressure — failure. at the steps and put that pressure that we are talking about

any smatt— pressure that we are talking about any small little crack, and a small leak any small little crack, and a small teak coutd — any small little crack, and a small leak could lead to a catastrophic failure _ leak could lead to a catastrophic failure of— leak could lead to a catastrophic failure of the vessel itself and this has— failure of the vessel itself and this has been a theory that has been floating _ this has been a theory that has been floating around since we received news _ floating around since we received news that — floating around since we received news that it went missing. friends and family watching _ news that it went missing. friends and family watching very - news that it went missing. friends and family watching very closely . news that it went missing. friends| and family watching very closely to see what will happen. sidonie nargeolet, the daughter of submersible passenger, paul henri nargeolet has been speaking about her father and the situation the family is facing. take a listen. lots of experience with submarines and he _ lots of experience with submarines and he knows how to react if there is a problem. so i'm very confident about— is a problem. so i'm very confident about it _ is a problem. so i'm very confident about it that — is a problem. so i'm very confident about it that again, managed good, the situation. and he's really passionate about the titanic since they found it. more than 30 years ago _ they found it. more than 30 years ago i_ they found it. more than 30 years ago i know— they found it. more than 30 years ago. i know now he is at a place he would _ ago. i know now he is at a place he

marine autonomy in southampton university. professor thorton, marine autonomy in southampton university. professorthorton, i university. professor thorton, i understand university. professorthorton, i understand you precisely are an expert in these rovs. he first of all tell us how exactly they operate in a search like this? find in a search like this? and rov search operation _ in a search like this? and rov search operation which - in a search like this? and rov| search operation which consists in a search like this? and rov - search operation which consists of the rov using its cameras, it has active acoustics, it will be using the sensors and essentially it will be travelling a long, long straight lines that are spaced apart but parallel looking for evidence of what it is searching for. we have heard of course _ what it is searching for. we have heard of course that _ what it is searching for. we have heard of course that experts - what it is searching for. we have i heard of course that experts within the unified command are now going to be evaluating what has been found. what can be rovs do in terms of actually collecting and retrieving debris? , , , , debris? rovs will be equipped with two manipulators. _ debris? rovs will be equipped with two manipulators. these _ debris? rovs will be equipped with two manipulators. these are - two manipulators. these are hydraulically powered manipulators that are controlled by human pilots on top of the ship. so they will be

looking at high—resolution video data and able to perform extremely delicate operations, but also they are able to lift weights up to 100 kilos or so. so these are extremely powerful manipulators. it will also be equipped with a simple basket. if there is a need to recover any small parts or anything like that it will be able to perform those kinds of tasks. —— sample basket will stop we are talking about we are talking about a vast area here how complex is it? it is we are talking about a vast area here how complex is it?- here how complex is it? it is an incredibly _ here how complex is it? it is an incredibly complex _ here how complex is it? it is an incredibly complex i do - here how complex is it? it is an incredibly complex i do not - here how complex is it? it is an | incredibly complex i do not have information on the exact location but if it is close to the titanic wreck the rov will have to manage its tether, the cable that is connecting it to the ship, if it is bringing another line, potentially to bring back items from the bottom, it will have to manage those two cables. so it really is coordination of the ship that is on the surface

and then the rov that is at the bottom and considering the environment around it. it is a very complex operation. talk environment around it. it is a very complex operation.— environment around it. it is a very complex operation. talk to us more about the environment _ complex operation. talk to us more about the environment around - complex operation. talk to us more about the environment around it. i complex operation. talk to us more | about the environment around it. we mentioned that there could of course be other debris in this area, debris related to the wreckage of the titanic itself.— titanic itself. yes, it if this is close to the _ titanic itself. yes, it if this is close to the titanic _ titanic itself. yes, it if this is close to the titanic debris . titanic itself. yes, it if this is i close to the titanic debris field titanic itself. yes, it if this is - close to the titanic debris field we would be expecting to find a lot of other debris as well. so i think the evaluation now is to really gain further certainty on whether this is debris that was already there or if this was something related to be submersible.— submersible. there had been questions _ submersible. there had been questions asked _ submersible. there had been questions asked about - submersible. there had been questions asked about why i submersible. there had been i questions asked about why this technology had not been brought to the site earlier, could have been deployed earlier, how difficult is it to get this type of technology, we know one of the rovs is from a french vessel, to this pretty remote

they will share what they know, hopefully with the families first on what they have found and what they know and then again there will be a lot of people who have better knowledge than i do about accident investigation. they will be able to try and piece together the last moments and how it has ended up in this particular position. honor moments and how it has ended up in this particular position.— this particular position. how have ou been this particular position. how have you been watching _ this particular position. how have you been watching this _ this particular position. how have you been watching this entire - this particular position. how have i you been watching this entire ordeal play out over the last few days as someone who is very familiar, of course, but this territory and with this deep—sea exploration? i course, but this territory and with this deep-sea exploration? i think an bod this deep-sea exploration? i think anybody who _ this deep-sea exploration? i think anybody who operates _ this deep-sea exploration? i think anybody who operates in - this deep—sea exploration? i try “ia; anybody who operates in submarines or submersibles has been paying great attention to this. thoughts have been with families and friends that have been waiting for news one way or the other as to whether they survived or whether they don't and whether this turns into a salvage mission. there will be questions about the validity of these types of expeditions for commercial expeditions for commercial expeditions at such deep depths and

there will be questions on how it ended up in this position proposal, time and i think the main focus has to be on making sure that the families are looked after during this period of time.— this period of time. indeed that will be the _ this period of time. indeed that will be the focus _ this period of time. indeed that will be the focus here _ this period of time. indeed that will be the focus here and - this period of time. indeed that will be the focus here and of. this period of time. indeed that - will be the focus here and of course for the us coast guard to stop thinking so much forjoining us on our programme and sharing your thoughts and expertise with us today. as we mentioned, that piece of information that came into us a short while ago, tweeted by the us coast guard, that debris has been located by this rovs near the site of the titanic where there had been searching. that is all the information that we have received from the coastguard at this point is they have also said that experts are looking at the information. we will be waiting for the press conference into our�*s time thank you for watching bbc news. hello there. nice day for scotland and northern ireland today with some sunshine. for england and wales there'll be some sunny spells, 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. warmer in the sunshine again today. temperatures widely in 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, push the 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. many sheltered eastern areas may well be dry and through much of the midlands towards the south—east 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, and temperatures may be a bit lower for the women's ashes cricket

at trent bridge, day two. it should be dry 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

and fresher, but until then, it looks like it's going to be dry for glastonbury. it will be getting more humid and also warmer.
