the debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber. upon this determination, we immediately notified the families. the announcement brings to an end an international search effort for the five missing passengers and raises questions over the safety of deep—sea tourism. the bank of england raises interest rates to their highest level for 15 years, in the latest attempt to bring down the cost of living. plus, india's leader meets president biden in washington. the focus was on trade and democracy, but critics question whether narendra modi deserved the red—carpet treatment. live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. it's newsday.

hello and welcome to the programme — broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. we begin with the news that the search for the oceangate submersible in the north atlantic is over. the us coast guard has confirmed that the vessel suffered a catastrophic loss of pressure and there are no sui’vivoi’s. the five people on board were on a mission to view the wreck of the titanic. rescue experts say that the tail cone of the vessel has been spotted on the sea bed, not far from the wreck. much of the rescue effort was coordinated in boston, where we can join our correspondent carl nasman. carl, correspondent carl nasman. thank you so much foi joining carl, thank you so much for joining us on the show. we are starting to hear some other developments coming out of the navy. whatever they had to say? we are, monica, we are learning some information that may give

us some clues into the timing of this catastrophe involving the titan vessel. this is according to cbs news, and reporting that the us navy heard what it calls acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion shortly after the titan lost contact with its mothership, and that would have been on sunday morning. this fits with a lot of other clues that we were getting today as well, including the location of that debris that was located, only about 600 feet or around 500 metres from the bow of the wreckage of the titanic itself. it does seem at least that we can start to infer that something went seriously wrong on that ship just hours into its dive that may have led to a catastrophic implosion. my colleaguejohn sudworth has colleague john sudworth has more. it was hope of a miracle that drove the intense media interest. now the us coast guard has confirmed all hope has gone. this morning, an rov, a remote operated vehicle,

from the vessel horizon arctic discovered the tail cone of the titan submersible approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of the titanic on the sea floor. the pieces of the titan was found scattered across a large debris field, and the press were told that next of kin have been immediately informed. it's a very difficult question to ask, but it will be an important one for the families, of course — what are the prospects of recovering the bodies of the missing crew? this is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel, and so we'll continue to work and continue to search the area down there, but i don't have an answer for prospects at this time. the wreckage lies under

the deep, remote waters of the mid—atlantic, found by high—tech underwater robots, part of what was, to the end, a still growing, yet increasingly desperate search effort. this video, shot by a mexican youtuber, shows it on a previous dive to the titanic, when questions were already being asked about the uncertified vessel's safety. with a limited air supply, the passengers are bolted in from the outside. the footage, taken last year, shows the communications were temporarily lost. no. yeah, what's weird is i'm getting the pressures. and paul—henri nargeolet, the former french navy diver, can also be seen — one of those now lost on this latest, disastrous voyage, along with three billionaire —— latest, disastrous voyage, along with three british

passengers, the billionaire explorer hamish harding, businessman shahzada dawood and his son suleman and the american captain stockton rush. this shouldn't be allowed to happen again. we need to make sure that submersibles which carry fee—paying passengers are super safe and properly tested, down to greater depth than they need to experience. for $250,000 a seat, this was high—end tourism combined with extreme risk. this far down on the site of a wreck now synonymous with maritime tragedy, the odds were always stacked against the possibility of a rescue. jon sudworth, bbc news, boston. now many, or least some, of the planes and vessels that were involved in that multiple day searches are now beginning to leave the area, but we do know according to the coastguard that several rovs, these remote operated vehicles, will remain in the area, they will continue to search for debris, to look

for clues as well.— for clues as well. carl, you have been _ for clues as well. carl, you have been there _ for clues as well. carl, you have been there almost i for clues as well. carl, you i have been there almost since the beginning of this search there in boston. describe for me what the mood is like now. it is definitely different mood thanit it is definitely different mood than it was full so we've just been on a roller coaster ride here. the family and friends of those onboard as well everybody following this story have been waiting for any kind of clues or information about their whereabouts or their fate was to be got that bit of hope yesterday when we thought that we might have detected noises or sounds that could have indicated that subti was banging on the inside of the vessel from below... help locate them. now of course this news today was definitely something that people been hoping not to hear, this was the worst case scenario, and now the many media here are having to report that the fate of these five people left on board, unfortunately they won't be coming home.— board, unfortunately they won't be coming home. carl, take you so much for—

be coming home. carl, take you so much for your _ be coming home. carl, take you so much for your coverage. - so much for your coverage. appreciate that. —— thank you. now we want to bring some live pictures from washington, where we are seeing indian prime minister narendra modi and us presidentjoe biden at an official state dinner with first ladyjill biting. ——jill biden. a lot that these two have to talk about. does not happen all that often, so they roll out the red carpet for the prime minister on this occasion. more on that later in the programme. i want to get back to the search mission. i spoke with salvatore mercogliano, associate professor of maritime history at campbell university in north carolina, and i got his initial thoughts on the implosion of the vessel. one of the aspects that

they're going to be trying to do is determine when the implosion took place. and that's going to be really an analysis of the debris field. if this happened during the descent down, you would have a much larger debris field on the bottom of the ocean. if it happened close to the bottom, then it'll be more compact. but i think one of the aspects they're going to be doing right now is trying to recover key components from the submersible, to see what exactly caused the fatal flaw that led to the death of these five passengers on board. the question that has been raised during all of this — has this been just irresponsible to take on a venture like this? well, you know, you look at what the rules and regulations were and 0ceangate operated really in a gray area, out in international waters, where there wasn't a requirement for their submersible to be classified and to have set provisions. and the irony of all this is it was titanic in 1912 that led to the decision to create a convention, what was known as the safety of life at sea convention —

solas — which really governs rescue operations, the requirement to have lifeboats and life jackets on ships and emergency distress and radio beacons. i have to wonder if a few years from now, the loss of titan will lead to a change in solas, much like the loss of titanic created solas. i mean, the difference between the titanic is it was a ship where hundreds, if not thousands of people would take those, where this is a unique device that allows you to go that deep down into the ocean. you know, in terms of this type of exploration, is there something lost that will probably prohibit people from seeing what's to explore under there? it sounded fascinating. one person said, "we know more about space than we do about the ocean right here on our own planet." well, i think if you look at what's happening in space exploration right now, right now, you see that with spacex and a variety of companies that are operating out of the united states and open it up for a select

few to go into space. but that industry is being regulated. there are rules and provisions put in place by the united states' federal aviation administration. that doesn't exist in the deep ocean. and i do think what we're seeing right now is very much akin to the early aviation industry, where it was the purview of governments, of corporations and of the rich. today, nobody thinks twice about boarding an aircraft and flying 30,000 feet above the air. i think there's going to be a moment in time where we will i think there's going to be a moment in time where we won't think twice about getting on a submersible and going down 13,000 feet. we're just not there yet. in the uk, the bank of england is the latest central bank to put up interest rates. they've gone up by half a percentage point, to 5%. that's the highest rate for 15 years. the bank of england, like most central banks around the world, is tackling high inflation and trying to curb prices. 0ur economics editor faisal islam reports. 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 very 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 in 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 round 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. i personally don't think there's going to be a collapse. 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. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. growing up, frankie feeney was taught to suppress his feelings. when he lost his baby daughter

president biden and india's prime minister, narendra modi, have hailed a new chapter in relations after talks at the white house. mr biden told mr modi it was his belief that the ties between their countries would be one of the most defining relationships of the 21st century. mr biden is keen to win india over to his side, as russia pursues its war in ukraine. speaking to a joint session of congress, mr modi pointed to the shared ties between the two nations. i can relate to the battles of passion, persuasion and policy. i can understand the debate of ideas and ideology. but i'm delighted to see you come together today to celebrate the bond between the world's two great democracies, india and the united states.

applause i spoke with aparna pande, a research fellow at hudson institute in washington, and asked her whether she thinks the us has persuaded modi to side and support the ukrainians. india would not view its role as beign neutral. india would not view its role as being neutral. it has always been against war and has condemned aggression. however, india has an old relationship with russia, dependent... about 70% of its military dependent on russian equipment. so the way prime minister modi looks at it, he has provided assistance to ukraine and condemned more directly with president putin. the united states understands that and the biden administration understands india's compulsions and therefore is not putting pressure on india to change india's current stance

on the russia/ukraine war. there is a reason they are there, in terms of the chinese and the conversations that might be taking place. what would those conversations be like, do you expect? both president biden and prime minister modi need this visit. the optics of this simile visit, pump and spectacle. both share concerns about china. india has long—standing concerns about china both on the land border and maritime, and president biden needs to demonstrate they are partners and allies with the united states to combat the chinese thread. the discussions will focus on where the two countries can work together, on defence, technology, and also discuss whether the us can help india on the border

and whether india can work with the us. 0n the maritime domain. not everybody is happy with mr modi's visit, including some members of congress. they have been critical of his human rights records about minorities in the country, particularly muslims. will this have any sway over the americans? i believe you saw in a press conference which theyjointly hosted. president biden referred to democracy, press freedom, human rights and the questions asked to both president and prime ministerfocused on it. the prime minister also in his speech and address to the joint session talked a lot about democracy and democratic values. i believe there will be private conversations between both leaders and the delegation, but the us does not openly or publicly criticise its friends and partners. and finally before we go, america has a massive indian

diaspora community that are politically active. but has this visit divided them? the diaspora is polarised and has become increasingly polarised over the years. at one level, they are all proud that an indian prime minister has received a state visit, and you can see that today. there was a gallery when the prime minister was address the joint session and those protesting outside. i won't say it has polarised or divided them more, i would say there is a polarisation that has happened, but that is what a democracy represents, right? the right to dissent. that's aparna pande air from the hudson institute. the authorities in pakistan say they've identified more than 200 citizens

who were on the overloaded migrant boat which sank off the coast of greece last week. the boat went down about 50 miles south—west of pylos last wednesday morning. so far, 82 people have been confirmed dead, but the un estimates up to 500 people were on board the vessel. pakistan's federal investigation agency says it's managed to gather names by contacting the victims�* families in the part of kashmir controlled by pakistan. bbc urdu's umer nangiana has travelled to the region. woman cries preparing herself for the worst. this woman's son was on the migrant boat that capsized more than a week ago. he was trapped in libya for seven months before making the journey to italy. translation: what can i say? they subjected him to worse torture. he had not eaten for eight days

when he boarded the ship. he told me he was hungry. they had kept him handcuffed. 28 men from this village went in search of a better life. only two of them were rescued. most of the men from this village who made this risky journey had to pay hefty amounts to the human traffickers. for example, one of them had to pledge his house to take a loan. his family behind has no idea how they would pay this loan back. translation: he had pledged his house as a guarantee, - and go look at that house now — i have been living in it with my two daughters. almost everyone here has a story to tell. this man's son and four nephews are missing. his son sent him this video from libya shortly before he boarded the ship. translation: i saw them all huddled together - in a small room like sheep.

that shocked me. i tried everything to bring him back from that, but human traffickers said no. they said, "we have taken the money, these men will go forward." all five cousins boarded the boat the next day. here, 26 families of missing men are desperately waiting for news. initially, they had hope. now, they want closure. umer nangiana, bbc news, in pakistan—administered kashmir. a court in moscow has rejected an appeal by the wall streetjournal reporter evan gershkovich, against the extension of his pre—trial detention. mr gershkovich — a us citizen — was arrested at the end of march, accused of espionage, a charge he and his employer categorically reject. he is the first american journalist to be accused of spying in russia since the cold war. events have taken place to mark

75 years since the first group of the windrush generation arrived in the uk. the king attended a service in windsor and a carnival procession took place in brixton, in south london. the celebrations have been described as "bittersweet" because of the scandal when many of the windrush generation were threatened with deportation. the uk government's chief medical adviser has admitted that insufficient work had been done on how to tackle a pandemic on the scale of covid. giving evidence to the public investigation, he expressed deep concern about the threats made against independent experts when the lockdowns were ordered. 0ur health editor hugh pym reports. next slide, please. they were household names during the worst of the pandemic, and today it was their turn 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. critics of lockdown said it did too much damage to the economy, but he argued that the experts�* sage committee could only offer ministers health advice. i don't think sage people, including myself, have the competence to assure government that they have considered the economic problem and they can now give a central view on it. i think that would have to be done separately. 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. germany has a big diagnostics industry and did very well.

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. bereaved families simply want to know whether more could have been done to save lives. hugh pym, bbc news. you have been watching newsday. and just before we go, a reminder of our main story. the us coast guard has confirmed that debris found near the wreck of the titanic is that of the missing tourist submersible, the titan. all five occupants are dead. that's all we have for you. please stay with bbc news. hello. thursday turned into another very warm june day, and we've had no shortage of those recently. temperatures in the sunniest spots in the south—east got up to 29 celsius.

and over the next few days, with this feed of very warm and increasingly humid air working across the uk, those temperatures could get even higherfor some, up to 30 or 31 degrees by sunday. in the short term, this is friday morning. with cloud and outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, western scotland, some of that rain splashing into northern england, parts of wales. further south and east, largely dry, a bit more cloud in the mix and just the odd shower there for east anglia. but there will be some sunshine and a little bit of brightness at times in the north—east of scotland, which should lift temperatures quite nicely here. but the highest values will be towards the south—east of england at 26 or 27 degrees with an increasingly humid feel. and we take that humidity with us into friday nights with a lot of clouds, some mist and murk for coasts and hills and some outbreaks of rain, especially moving across scotland. these are the overnight lows, 1a, 15, 16 degrees. so a little uncomfortable for sleeping, i suspect. and then into saturday, we start on that humid, muggy note with some areas

of low clouds and mist and fog. a little bit of rain around, particularly across scotland, will keep some showery rain in north—west scotland, maybe north—western parts of northern ireland. further south and east, where we see the best of the sunshine breaking through, temperatures really will climb, up to 28 or maybe 29 celsius. now, into the second half of the weekend, high pressure tends to retreat eastwards and we see this frontal system swinging in from the west ahead of it. ahead of it, the breeze will strengthen — a southerly breeze, so it will still be bringing some very warm and humid air — but we see this band of rain pushing in from the west and some of this will be heavy and thundery. and behind that, a change in the wind direction to a westerly wind, and so it will start to feel a little bit fresher. but ahead of that rain band, in the south—east corner, highs of 30 or 31 degrees. so for the weekend, we can

sum things up like this. it will be very warm, the nights will be particularly humid and we will see that risk of thundery downpours, particularly on sunday. and then into next week, quite a change. it's going to be much more unsettled. some outbreaks of rain at times and not quite as warm as it has been.
