the wreck of the titanic does belong to the missing tourist sub. all five people on board have died, among them three british citizens including a father and son. contact was lost with the many sub on sunday for the parts of the titan craft were spotted by remote control vehicles sent to miles down the atlantic. the official in charge of the search spoke at a news conference in boston in the past hour. this morning in a remote operated vehicle from the vessel horizon arctic discovered the tail cone of the titan submersible approximately 1600 feet from the bow of the titanic on the seafloor. the rov subsequently found additional —— debris.

in consultation with experts from within the unified command the debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber. that a short taste of the press conference we will play a fuller version at about a half now it's time it was difficult to listen to at times because confirmation are very difficult news that so many people there and around the world wa nted wanted to avoid. let's get the latest on what we have heard in the last hour or so. we can cross live to boston. it last hour or so. we can cross live to boston-— to boston. it really has been a remarkable course _ to boston. it really has been a remarkable course of- to boston. it really has been a remarkable course of events l to boston. it really has been a i remarkable course of events over to boston. it really has been a - remarkable course of events over the last few hours with him early in the morning we were waiting for some news from the coastguard than we received the tweet that the coastguard had with the help of the

rov's that was surging underneath the sea that they had found diprete near the site of the titanic rack. then we received before the press conference a statement from oceangate, the maker of the submersible indeed confirming that had been a catastrophic implosion. then the press conference which is article above. we havejust then the press conference which is article above. we have just now received a message from the horizon maritime service saying that they want to commend our cruise on the polo prince at horizon arctic who worked tirelessly of the last number days on the search of virtue effort they are expressing their deep condolences and support for the family. our reporter was listening to that press conference that we played a clip of a little while ago. carl, i think the press conference gave us a little bit of a better idea of the timeline of all this and what happened over the course of the last four or five days. we what happened over the course of the last four or five days.— last four or five days. we will never truly — last four or five days. we will never truly know _ last four or five days. we will never truly know exactly - last four or five days. we will| never truly know exactly what happened or when it happened but there _ happened or when it happened but there were clues in the evidence

for the pay hasn't been any evidence for the pay hasn't been any evidence for the pay hasn't been any evidence for the a lot of anticipation but i think the realisation was, especially as today has gone on and we got past the furthest point where the oxygen may have run out, if indeed the men had survived the initial problem on the sub. that hopes had been fading and the realisation was starting to set in that this wasn't going to have a successful ending. but to have confirmed, first oceangate the statement from and immediately followed up with the detail from the coastguard rear admiral. ithink it's really hit people here. through the days that this had got on obviously, everyone was hoping against hope despite the chances being stacked against them that there mightjust be some way in which these men had survived, there would be a way to locate them and to rescue them. and now that definitely is not going to happen. everyone is having to absorb that, their own

friends, colleagues and family. there is a real sadness, a real disappointment that is come to this. and the saddest possible and to this story is indeed the way that it will conclude. the work will go on trying to piece together exactly what happened, what the timeline of events was, what may be responsible for this failure and how perhaps lessons can be learned for the future. and it will be support for this deep sea diving community and for those man's families. but i think it's just really sad that there hasn't been a more positive outcome from this. now everyone is having to absorb that and think about what it means. i having to absorb that and think about what it means.— having to absorb that and think about what it means. i 'ust want to ask ou about what it means. i 'ust want to ask you — about what it means. i 'ust want to ask you one specific _ about what it means. i just want to ask you one specific question - about what it means. i just want to ask you one specific question and l ask you one specific question and one specific answer we got in the press conference. that was about the regulations effectively. the question was asked about, should there be more, should there be different, should they be more stringent? the answer wasn't a flat, that's not for me to talk about next

responsibility of one government or company. this is in the main and individuals with financial backing and adventurous spirit determined to do something. oceangate in the statement that gate they pay tribute to the man who lost their lives as adventurers who were pushing those sorts of boundaries. but in future we won't see any fee paying passengers going down to the wreck of titanic in the next few months, perhaps even years. if that sort of activity is to resume in future i'm sure they will be lessons learned from this incident. perhaps we will see tighter guidelines in place with you at the moment the concern of most people here and up and down the east coast, perhaps around the world, particularly anybody connected with the titanic a deep—sea diving is with the families, friends and colleagues of those five to have lost their lives doing something adventurous, something they were clearly determined to the magnetic pole that the titanic has had for so many people. whether that's in terms of an interest in reading about it,

watching about it or indeed taking the sort of adventurous trip that they were doing. it's something that interested people for so long. but it has caused at least five people now their lives.— it has caused at least five people now their lives. thank you for that. as we've been _ now their lives. thank you for that. as we've been reporting, _ now their lives. thank you for that. as we've been reporting, plenty. now their lives. thank you for that. as we've been reporting, plenty of| as we've been reporting, plenty of tributes coming in from right around the world. we will go to pakistan now. we can get a message on social media from pakistan's foreign ministry who have tweeted this statement... around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

across the uk head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. where that had to our science correspondent who is in our newsroom. we've been hearing lots of talk about debris, about tail cones, nose cones. could you just in the simplest terms just explained that to us? simplest terms 'ust explained that to us? �* . . ~ simplest terms 'ust explained that to us? 3 simplest terms 'ust explained that to us? �*, ., to us? let's take you through the arts, to us? let's take you through the parts. the — to us? let's take you through the parts, the fragments, _ to us? let's take you through the parts, the fragments, the - to us? let's take you through the parts, the fragments, the bits . to us? let's take you through the parts, the fragments, the bits of| parts, the fragments, the bits of debris that they seem to have identified on the sea floor of the atlantic. one of the items they have found is this, the structure at the bottom, the landing frame. this is what the sub uses to sit on dry land, on the deck of a ship, just to be steady, even the seafloor. they've also found this superficial nose cone structure at one and and they've also found the two titanium

and bells. normally when you build a deep sea submersible like this you build it from titanium, you build it as a sphere. the pressure vessel is a sphere. the people sit inside the sphere because that's the best g armoury, you equalise the pressure. the pressure at titanic depth is immense. it's getting over 400 times the atmosphere here at the surface of... and several thousand tonnes per square metre down there. it really is immense. what's different about this sub compared to other subs that just use about this sub compared to other subs thatjust use that straight titanium sphere is that it has a section in the middle, which is made from carbon fiber. so you wind fibres around a mould and you can make a tube very simply. it's very strong for the but was it strong enough of this construction? this is what the coming investigation i'm sure it's going to look at. we have

our carbon fibre tube and then we have titanium and caps. the thing about deep—sea work like this is you need perfect seals, you need perfect structures. if there is any flock here in the construction that pressure will find it. and it will find the flaw. did this carbon fibre tube failed? did we have a situation where we had a sudden collapse of the two titanium and bells coming together? it would've been something that would have been instantaneous and extremely energetic, extremely energetic. a lot of this they probably won't find all of the pieces over the coming days, i don't think. quite a few of them will be brought to the surface so that they can put together a picture of what happened. you remember that over the past couple of days we've been

talking about these underwater noises. we thought that might be somebody tapping, maybe on one of the end bells here, the metal to alert people at the surface that they were alive and that they were there, somehow they could find them. well, it's pretty obvious now that those noises, those clues were spirits. write? because this implosion that occurred would of produced a noise, in acoustic signal within the ocean that any listening device that the search forces were using would have picked up that sound. what we can infer is that this implosion took place before the search forces arrived on the scene. we're probably talking at some point lot long after they started their dive on sunday. you know that they lost communication about a minute and 45 seconds into the dive. communications went out for them is that the moment that this implosion

happened? think about noise. i'll give you in example of something that happened a few years ago, in argentinian submarine, naval submarine it was lost off the coast of argentina. and when they looked at the data from all of the hydrophones, the underwater microphones that are darted across the earth on the ocean floor, used to detect atomic bomb tests to enforce treaties, they identified an anomalous acoustic signal which coincided with the implosion that they subsequently determined was the loss of that argentinian naval sub. maybe in the data of those hydrophones that are dotted around the world there is in acoustic signal as well of the implosion of this vehicle. that will give them the timing for when this event happened. there's a lot to learn and it starts with getting this debris

ph nargeolet was on board with hamish harding, it's a double blow. stockton rush i don't know, he's part of my community. to hear that a father and a son were doing this dive on father's day is also gut wrenching, isn't it? and what we're learning today in terms of what they are seeing on the sea bed confirmed what a lot of us feared right from the beginning. and the only solace in any of it is that they didn't suffer for four days. in any of it is that they didn't sufferforfour days. but in any of it is that they didn't suffer for four days. but still, sufferforfour days. but still, the outcome is the same. five men are not coming home, five families are devastated. and we're left questioning why did that happen? band

extraordinary. i never thought it would happen that so many assets could get there so quickly. ihlat would happen that so many assets could get there so quickly. not 'ust about his expertise in i could get there so quickly. not 'ust about his expertise in this i could get there so quickly. not 'ust about his expertise in this areah could get there so quickly. notjust about his expertise in this area and the state of the investigation that is to come but much more importantly, of course just paying tribute to two of his friends, he knew two of the men on board. we have had it confirmed in the last hour or so that all five men on board that titan sub have died. i lewis modules, this is bbc news. —— yvonnejones. hello there. it's going to be heating up over the next few days and turning much more humid as well. now, today, we've had a few heavy and thundery showers across england and wales.

those will fade away. if we look out in the atlantic, though, this cloud is going to be coming in, and that will bring with it some outbreaks of rain eventually later in the night across northern ireland, heading over the irish sea and affecting western scotland by the morning. and ahead of that, it's going to be quite a warm night as it becomes dry in other areas, but there are some warmer and more humid nights to come, more uncomfortable nights to come, over the weekend. as we head into friday, though, this rain in northern ireland replaced by some heavy showers, patchy rain runs across scotland, affects the north—west of england and across wales. but towards the south—east, many areas, i think, here will be dry. this is where we'll see the best of the sunshine developing and it's going to be very warm again. temperatures easily into the mid 20s. cooler further north and west, where we've got the cloud and chance of some rain. a bit misty over the hills as well. some of that cloud will be pushing its way down into trent bridge for day two of the women's ashes. but it should stay dry and there will be a bit

of sunshine at times — maybe not quite as warm as it was today, mind you. by the time we get to saturday, most of the rain will have gone. we're left with a lot of cloud. there'll be a few showers, mainly running northwards across scotland. we should see the cloud thinning and breaking. more sunshine coming through. that's going to give the temperatures a boost as well. getting into the mid 20s for scotland and northern ireland, could be close to 30 degrees in the south—east of england. not only are temperatures rising, it's getting more humid. it could be a little uncomfortable if you're going to be sleeping in a tent over the next few nights, but it should be dry until sunday, i think, at glastonbury, where we could see some showers in the afternoon. but that heat and humidity is building ahead of some weather fronts that will bring some rain, that humid air coming in from continental europe. but this weather front here is going to change things during the second half of the weekend, in time for next week. we're looking at heavy, thundery rain for northern ireland. that will push its way into western scotland, across wales, into western parts of england. eastern areas still dry until later in the day. this is where it's still very warm, hot and humid as well, but to the west, things will be turning cooler and fresher as the rain comes in,

and particularly after the rain. that rain will have swept through overnight. and then we're into something more unsettled for next week. showers never too far away and things are going to be a little cooler.
