correspondent in boston, from where the search is being coordinated. from the start some experts have suggested that some kind of catastrophic failure is one of the more likely scenarios for what has happened to it. and why it failed to surface. we don't know what the discovery of this debris field means. the coastguard says its analysts are looking at it and there will be an update in a couple of hours. but hopes must be fading, the subs air supply was due the run out sub's air supply was due the run out six hours ago. the search is intensifying. with confirmation that underwater robots have reached the sea floor, the coastguard says it is evaluating the

discovery of a debris field close to the wreck of the titanic. for the first time the bbc has heard from a co—founder of the company that owned the sub and asked will there could be a catastrophic failure. i the sub and asked will there could be a catastrophic failure.— be a catastrophic failure. i can't speculate _ be a catastrophic failure. i can't speculate on — be a catastrophic failure. i can't speculate on what _ be a catastrophic failure. i can't speculate on what is _ be a catastrophic failure. i can't speculate on what is going - be a catastrophic failure. i can't speculate on what is going on l be a catastrophic failure. i can't - speculate on what is going on now. what i do know is regardless of the sub when you're operating at depths like 2800 metres down, the pressure is so great on any sub if there is a failure, it would be an instantaneous immregs. if that is what happened, that is what would have happened four days ago. this video shock _ have happened four days ago. this video shock by _ have happened four days ago. this video shock by a youtuber shows the titan being launched more than 3,000 metres below sea—level. titan being launched more than 3,000 metres below sea-level.— titan being launched more than 3,000 metres below sea-level.- the l metres below sea-level. 3,000! the foota . e metres below sea-level. 3,000! the footage from — metres below sea-level. 3,000! the footage from last _ metres below sea-level. 3,000! the footage from last year _ metres below sea-level. 3,000! the footage from last year shows -

possibility of a rescue. officially at the moment the search effort still continues. there is no confirmation from the coastguard here that they are yet ready to move from a rescue to a recovery mode. when asked about that in a press conference, they said they didn't want to speculate, but when that moment comes it will be done first and foremost in full consultation with the families. thank you. we are expecting to hear more from the us coast guard at 8pm. our science editor is here. it is significant they have given so much information already? yes. significant they have given so much information already?— significant they have given so much information already? yes, until now the tweets have _ information already? yes, until now the tweets have been _ information already? yes, until now the tweets have been scant - information already? yes, until now the tweets have been scant and - information already? yes, until now the tweets have been scant and this is a big bit of information. there is a big bit of information. there is still a lot we don't know. there has been a huge search for the last

few days, but the pattern changed today. so before the ships were scattered over a large area, looking, we think for the knocking sounds that were picked up. but today they got together into a smaller area about the size of a kilometre. one of the french ships was there too. that was unusual. all coming together. they had two deep diving subs on board. one which belongs to the french ship and another sub which belongs to a canadian ship. they reached the sea bottom and we got the news one had spotted debris. this is the site of the titanic, you know, it is a huge wreck, in two parts, there is an enormous debris field around it. so what they have spotted, it might be nothing, but it could be something. the fact they have tweeted is significant. what we also know is the victor 6,000 had robotic arms

and not only will be imaging what it has seen, it could take some of the debris with its robotic arm, scoop it into a basket and bring it to the surface. it should give them a much clearer idea of what they have found. thank you. it clearer idea of what they have found. thank you.— clearer idea of what they have found. thank you. it is an agonising for the people- _ found. thank you. it is an agonising for the people. lucy _ found. thank you. it is an agonising for the people. lucy manning - found. thank you. it is an agonising for the people. lucy manning has i for the people. lucy manning has been speaking to people who know two of the british passengers. hamish harding, one of the three british people on the sub has seen and done it all. the south pole. and now in the greest danger. in the uk his cousin is concerned. it is the greest danger. in the uk his cousin is concerned. it is looking more serious — cousin is concerned. it is looking more serious. it _ cousin is concerned. it is looking more serious. it is _ cousin is concerned. it is looking more serious. it is a _ cousin is concerned. it is looking more serious. it is a desperate l more serious. it is a desperate situation. very worrying, upsetting,

our economics editor faisal islam is here. the rise was designed to drain spending powerfrom the rise was designed to drain spending power from the economy to bear down on inflation that is stuck at higher levels than expected and higher than other similar economies. it is a moment though, it takes rates back to what was once normal, 5%, the level a decade and a half ago, before the collapse of lehman brothers and the era of near zero rates that many became accustomed to. a 15—year period over in 15 months, affecting many ordinary home owners profoundly. my monthly mortgage repayments will increase by £270. £680 more per month for next two years. a scary, petrifying experience. several hundred pounds.

i don't sleep well at night. i'm distraught. helpless. i'm cutting costs everywhere. i can't print the money, basically, to satisfy what is expected of me. very stressed at the moment, because obviously there's very limited options we've got here. there are a couple of - things that traders need. one of them is foreign exchange... outside the bank of england, history lessons as rates return to their historic norms. so today, more rate rises, more than expected, and possibly more to come, as the bank tries to deal more aggressively with stronger inflation by draining spending power enough to risk a downturn. we're not expecting, we're not desiring a recession, but we will do what is necessary to bring inflation down to target. we cannot continue to have the current level of wage increases, and we can't have companies seeking to rebuild profit margins, which means prices continue to go up at their current rates.

the bank is trying to hose down some very hot british inflation numbers, but also, again, trying to persuade workers and companies politely to temper both wage demands and price rises. the immediate question is, for the bank of england, where do rates go from here? the markets did seem to gain confidence in the bank of england's ability to deal with this high and sticky inflation after today's surprise decision. but there are some concerns that changes in the mortgage market, changing the structure of the economy, have altered the ability of the bank to control where the economy goes. one of the changes contributing to higher inflationary pressure is a workforce shortage caused by long term illness, among other things — andrew in shrewsbury, a former ultra marathon runner, one of the many thousands unable to work because of long covid. so not only am i not able to work, i can't function around the house, i can barely care for myself at my absolute worst. but his household hit by rising prices and now the mortgage shock too. i've got two children,

i've got a mortgage. interest rates have gone up. i've actually got an interest rate, it's going to change, probably double, in the next couple of weeks. but despite all the interest rate and mortgage pain, the property market is in a holding pattern, says this chester estate agent. we're in a sort of no—man's—land. as you've said, everybody's waiting to see what happens. it might be that rate rises aren't reaching homeowners largely on fixed rates quite so quickly these days. but that means they may have to go higher and stay there for longer too. faisal islam, bbc news. the government has been urged to intervene to help people who are now facing higher mortgage costs. but rishi sunak says that would make it harder to meet his target of halving inflation this year. he was taking questions on the economy at an event in kent, from where our political editor chris mason reports. the prime minister turned up at a giant warehouse in kent this afternoon,

the backdrop obvious to all — the numbers climbing higher and higher, the cost of borrowing, the price of almost everything, going up. rishi sunak is on a mission to reassure. i'm here to tell you that i am totally, 100% on it and it is going to be ok and we are going to get through this. and that is the most important thing i wanted to let you know today. you've said today, you've tried to reassure people this afternoon that it's going to be ok. isn't the blunt truth that, for some people, it won't be ok if you're going to be able to get inflation down? well, chris, i've never said this is going to be easy. inflation eats away at the money in your pocket and that's wrong. and that's why i feel a deep moral responsibility to get it down. and i'm prepared to do what it takes to do that. that does mean making some difficult decisions. in a cafe in the village of hexstable, from one table to the next, interest rates and inflation are biting. yeah, it has made me think more about what we're doing,

how often we go out as a family. i've got three teenagers at home, they are expensive, so it is kind of having to say no to things that we might have done before. well, i mean, i guess teenagers are always expensive, but particularly so now? well, yeah. "what is there to eat?" is the question i dread. we've really got to, you know, pull in our resources and just be careful, you know? i mean, luxury items are definitely out of the window at the moment. something needs to be done drastically. - and i think the government needs to step in. _ they're saying they're not going to step in, i but they stepped in _ in covid and found the money. like the conservatives, labour also don't want to spend lots more money supporting people but reckon changing some mortgage rules can help. if labour was in government today, what would you do? i would instruct the banks to help customers in financial distress by allowing them to move to interest—only products, extend the term of mortgages and also not allow repossession orders to begin for six months.

but that wouldn't do anything to help inflation, would it? this is about helping people who are struggling, particularly with, in this case, rising mortgage costs. the liberal democrats say they would spend more taxpayers' money helping the poorest. but there needs to be a last line of defence. there has been in the past, where governments gave grants to people who would otherwise see their homes repossessed and their families out in the streets. bills going up, our economy, our politicians, in a bind. things might have to get worse — for some, at least — before they get better. let's get more on this from both faisal and chris, first, interest rates are expected to go up a couple more times, is there any guarantee this will work and control inflation?

there are to make things the bank had to do today, the first immediate decision, we focused on that half—point percentage rise —— two things. that did seem to convince many in the markets at the bank was getting on the front foot again in terms of the fight against inflation, but it was also trying to kind of set out parameters in terms of where it might go in the next 12 months, 18 months. in the past it has told the markets, you know, you got above yourself, we're not going to go to 6%. today it didn't do any of that. so the markets are assuming as you say, there may be another two or three rises up to just below 6% maybe by the beginning of next year, but what the bank of england stressed is that it is all depended on the data. we are to know where they thought they would be three months ago and that's because when the facts change, they say they change their mind. they do hope inflation will still tumble over the next year. if it does, may be rates do not need to go up so high but at the minute the assumption is, they will go up to 5.7 6% next year.

public inquiry here is that lockdowns were very radical thing to do to help the pandemic. coming up on bbc news, a decent start for england on the first day of the ashes, with a debut test wicket for lauren filer dismissing beth mooney at trent bridge. but australia have been racking up the runs. now, the uk government's chief medical officer has told the covid—19 public inquiry that lockdown was a very radical thing to do to help deal with the pandemic. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. i'm going to ask patrick to go through some of the slides and then we'll go to chris. flanking the prime minister, they were household names during the worst of the pandemic. next slide, please. today, the government's top experts were questioned at the public inquiry. i swear by almighty god...

sir chris whitty admitted that risks were identified before the pandemic, but not how to deal with them. we should have had a more imaginative approach to how we would respond to a major pandemic, whether it was influenza, something like influenza, or indeed something else. but this would require quite radical changes in the way people think. testing capacity, known as diagnostics, was built up, but it was very limited when covid first struck, and the former chief scientific adviser suggested this was a serious weakness. we did not have a diagnostics industry of any scale in the uk, which made scaling up of diagnostics much more difficult. and germany has a big diagnostics industry and did very well on that. the inquiry heard of the abuse suffered by sir chris and other experts. i do think that what occurred during covid, where the level of abuse and, in some cases, threat to people who volunteered their time is an extremely concerning one.

next week, the inquiry will continue to focus on the uk's preparedness for a pandemic, with former health secretary matt hancock among the witnesses. scotland's former first minister nicola sturgeon and former deputy first ministerjohn swinney will also be giving evidence later. later the inquiry will consider the full toll of the pandemic. bbc analysis has looked at the increase in the uk's overall death rate about 5% per year on average compared to before 2020, higher than many others but below italy and the us. it's a reminder of what this inquiry is all about, with bereaved families wanting to know could moore have been done to save lives? —— could more have been done? hugh pym, bbc news. cricket, and the women's ashes got under way at trent bridge today. it's a different format to the men's event — one test match, which is followed
