of the titan sub were dismissed by the company's ceo. also on the programme: us presidentjoe biden and vice president kamala harris are joining the democratic national congress as well as other pro—choice advocacy groups to mark one year after the us supreme court s decision to overturn its landmark 1973 ruling on roe v wade. and the tents have been pitched, the sun has been shining and now two hundred thousand people will spend the weekend enjoying some of the worlds biggest music stars. yep, it can only be glastonbury. tonight with the context, paul waugh — chief political commentator for the i paper and jennifer carroll who was the former lieutenant governor of florida. hello to you both and will be taking

us through our headline stories this evening. we start with those developments on the death of five people on board the submersible which went missing in the atlantic on sunday. canada's transportation safety board has announced an investigation because the titan's surface support vessel, the polar prince, was a canadian—flagged ship. and the bbc has seen email messages showing that warnings over the safety of oceangate's titan sub were repeatedly dismissed by the ceo of the company. the messages were exchanged with a leading deep sea exploration specialist. the worries were over the craft�*s unusual design, its non—spherical shape, ?the reliability of the material it was made of — carbon fibre —?and the fact it had also not been through any external independent certification or classing process. now, the bbc has been exclusively given an email exchange between stockton rush the ceo of oceangate — who died in the incident — and a leading deep

water exploration specialist rob maccallum. in an email sent in 2018, rob maccallum warned stockton rush? he went on... a few days later, oceangate s stockton rush replied...

the next day, rob mccallum replied in the starkest terms: oceangate's lawyers then contacted rob maccullum and threatened legal action. today, we ve contacted them again and they say they have no additional information. rob mccallum maintains that no—one should have gone in this submersible. this morning, we heard from william kohnen, chairman of the us marine technology society, manned underwater vehicles committee. in 2018, he and other engineers wrote a letter to stockton rush warning of the dangers of using an uncertified craft. this was clearly preventable and we do have regulations and the issue is

as an industry, we make submersibles and making submersibles here in los angeles for 30 years and some the best submarines in the world and there is order in their ways to be clever and go around things and for sure, it needs to be clear that he submersible like this and with the redoing for tourism would not be allowed in us waters and the coastguard would not allow it. it would not be allowed to work in british coastal because it would allowed to be certified, same thing in canada. and it turns out working in canada. and it turns out working in international waters are no coastguard hasjurisdiction, he found two loopholes. and as to say it wasn't very wide. the director of the film titanic, james cameron, completed 33 dives to the site —

here's what he said. art community spoke out against it. quite loudly and the warnings were unheated. before these developments the co—founder of oceangate spoke to the bbc and rejected claims that they cut any corners. any expert who was in on this, including — any expert who was in on this, including mr_ any expert who was in on this, including mr cameron- any expert who was in on this, including mr cameron will- any expert who was in on this, including mr cameron will also| any expert who was in on this, - including mr cameron will also admit they were _ including mr cameron will also admit they were not — including mr cameron will also admit they were not there _ including mr cameron will also admit they were not there for— including mr cameron will also admit they were not there for the - including mr cameron will also admit they were not there for the design i they were not there for the design of the _ they were not there for the design of the sub, — they were not there for the design ofthe sub, the— they were not there for the design of the sub, the engineering - they were not there for the design of the sub, the engineering of- they were not there for the design of the sub, the engineering of the| of the sub, the engineering of the supper— of the sub, the engineering of the sunper the — of the sub, the engineering of the supper the building _ of the sub, the engineering of the supper the building of— of the sub, the engineering of the supper the building of the - of the sub, the engineering of the supper the building of the sub- of the sub, the engineering of the| supper the building of the sub and certainly— supper the building of the sub and certainly not — supper the building of the sub and certainly not for— supper the building of the sub and certainly not for the _ supper the building of the sub and certainly not for the recoveries - certainly not for the recoveries test programme _ certainly not for the recoveries test programme that - certainly not for the recoveries test programme that the - certainly not for the recoveries test programme that the sub i certainly not for the recoveries - test programme that the sub went through _ test programme that the sub went through -- — test programme that the sub went throu~h. ., ., , concerns over safety in the construction of the sub not seem to be dominating the conversation about this. is be dominating the conversation about this. . ., . be dominating the conversation about this. , . , ., be dominating the conversation about this. ,. , ., . this. is a big conversation about safety and _ this. is a big conversation about safety and some _ this. is a big conversation about safety and some of— this. is a big conversation about safety and some of the - this. is a big conversation about. safety and some of the questions brought up on the design of this vessel, the material that was used its vessel, the material that was used it's interesting to point out that

the current conversation is going on with experts like james cameron was a film—maker who's made 33 dives down to the site and the use of carbon fibre and questioned the shape, the cylinder shape rather than the spherical shape. and that's been brought up now but we know dating all the way back and you even mention the e—mails five years ago already, a chorus of questions and concerns being raised by what stockton rush is up to with this vessel. that was years before they'd made the maiden voyage to the wreckage of the titanic and so, it seems like almost a unanimous calling from this group which is a very tightly knit group of deep—sea explorers asking questions wondering whether or not this was the right approach and even directly reaching out with e—mails, statements and backin out with e—mails, statements and back in 2018, court documents that see a former employee had brought up some questions about safety as well.

it's very difficult time for ocean oceangate, and not the least that the ceo perished aboard the ship. has there been any response from the company over these questions of safety? company over these questions of safe ? ~ �* .. ., company over these questions of safe ? ~ �* ., ., safety? we've reached out to the com an safety? we've reached out to the company into _ safety? we've reached out to the company into its _ safety? we've reached out to the company into its lawyers, - safety? we've reached out to the company into its lawyers, we - safety? we've reached out to the | company into its lawyers, we have not heard a response yet. this is obviously a difficult time and we are awaiting the polar prince. i will have a few more discussions and william moore from ocean oceangate and from those related —— we will hear more from oceangate. and from those related -- we will hear more from oceangate. canada's transportation _ hear more from oceangate. canada's transportation services _ hear more from oceangate. canada's transportation services of— hear more from oceangate. canada's transportation services of launched . transportation services of launched an investigation and talking about

security workers at heathrow airport have accepted an improved pay offer — ending a long—running dispute. the unite union says workers will get an increase of up to i7—and—a—half percent. warmer weather in may has helped push up retail sales, the office for national statistics says they rose by 0.3%. online sales of summer clothing and garden furniture went up as the weather improved. garden centres and diy stores also saw growth. fuel sales also rose compared to april, but people bought less food as prices continued to rise. you're live with bbc news. the eu s border agency says it received no reply from greek officials after it offered to send a plane to monitor the migrant boat that later sank in the mediterannean last week with huge loss of life. the un refugee agency — the unhcr —

says up to 750 people — mostly from egypt, pakistan and syria, were crammed on to the vessel which had set off from libya — heading for italy. the official death toll remains at 82, but many more are believed to have drowned. the greek authorities face mounting questions about whether they did enough to prevent the tragedy. one survivor, from pakistan, has been speaking to bbc urdu reporter khalid kharamat about the disaster — and says everyone on board was trying to raise the alarm with another boat nearby: a huge ship came to us but they did not help rescue us. the only give us water. they kept screaming for help but they did not respond. everyone begged them to rescue us but they just ignored us. and then we

collided with them. earlier in the day, the ship it, provided us with food and water but it was this ship that came in the night with which we collided. and with more here's our bbc urdu reporter khalid kharamat who is athens. this is become the centre, for pakistan. this neighbourhood has a thriving migrant community including a large pakistani diaspora. and in pakistan, business here that pakistan, business here that pakistan from all over europe are coming looking for information and anything that can help them find their loved ones. it was here that i met one of the survivors of the recent book disaster and he said to me, the conditions on the boat were terrible in their being beaten badly. he also told me that there

were many pakistan people on the boat and for many of those coming here, looking for their loved ones, the news is not very good. there are only 12 pakistani survivors but that does not stopped many people from coming to. i met many people here last night brought pictures of their loved ones on their phones the people around here asking if anybody had any information in many people came today and the pattern was similar in pictures of their loved ones on their phones asking for information. fora ones on their phones asking for information. for a lot of these people who've come here, hope is fading fast and some set they want at least some information that their loved ones run board. they want to find the bodies of their loved ones so they can have some closure. this tragedy has taken that right away from them. to grieve properly.

not moving or hardly moving for seven hours before capsized. and i suggest because in the words of the greek coastguard, it was in the study course in a steady speed heading towards italy and did not need this intervention. i think even more question marks about the quick response and all welcome the united nations needed a big full independent international investigation into what's happened but at the moment, there is no sign of one. i but at the moment, there is no sign of one. ~ ., i. �* but at the moment, there is no sign ofone. ~ ., �* ,, , of one. i know you're keeping track of one. i know you're keeping track ofthe of one. i know you're keeping track of the story. _ of one. i know you're keeping track of the story. any — of one. i know you're keeping track of the story, any updates, - of one. i know you're keeping track of the story, any updates, thank i of one. i know you're keeping track. of the story, any updates, thank you so much for that. former us president barack obama has been questioning the coverage the sub has received over the greek migrant boat disaster. here is he speaking at a conference in athens. but we cannot ignore it. you think about what's happening this week. there is a potential tragedy unfolding with the submarine that is

getting minute to minute coverage. all around the world. and it's understandable because we all want and pray that those folks rescued. but the fact that that's gotten so much more attention than 700 people who sank is... that is... that is an untenable situation. in the notion that we cannot do something about that we cannot do something about thatis that we cannot do something about that is simply not true. ichief that is simply not true. chief olitical that is simply not true. chief political commentator i that is simply not true. chief political commentator for i that is simply not true. chief| political commentator for the newspaper and jennifer carroll for the governor of florida. jennifer, if i can come to you first, does

barack obama have a point on that? you have to look at it in context, yes, it is a migrant issue and it is a human issue and element the same as the titanic, but i think what covered the titanic such as that, unexplainable as to how this vessel could be in the position that it was without the certification, without the testing and within the curiosity as to what is happening down below where no one could see and you cannot compare the two. i believe in the coverage, yes, can they both get equal coverage. we have seen unequal coverages before and many news stories. so, i don't think you should compare the two that one is more important than the other. which is reflectin: more important than the other. which is reflecting on _ more important than the other. which is reflecting on this _ more important than the other. which is reflecting on this comment - more important than the other. which is reflecting on this comment that i've read and seen on social media

see quite clearly from this weather watcher from weymouth, dorset. we've also seen some rain today, some of it heavy first thing this morning in western scotland. some rain across the lake district, leaden—looking skies from time to time throughout the day as well. and there's more rain to come through the night. so this has been the story, then. we've seen that cloud and rain easing away, becoming light and patch, but there's some more significant rain which will gradually drift its way across scotland during the early hours of saturday morning. with a south—westerly flow driving in quite a lot of low cloud, it's going to be misty and drizzly at times along those west—facing coasts, but it will be warm — temperatures sitting at around 15 or 16 degrees. so a mild and increasingly humid start to the weekend. that cloud will tend to lingerfor a time, particularly on west coasts, and we could see a few scattered showers. but eventually the sunshine's strong, it'll punch holes through the cloud. and with that, temperatures will start to respond

as we go through the day. so we're expecting highs of around 29, possibly 30 degrees by the middle of saturday afternoon. a warmer day for all of us. now, as we move through saturday night, however, those temperatures are not going to fall away at all. we lose the russet tones, but nevertheless, temperatures are still likely to sit into the mid to high teens potentially first thing on sunday morning, so a pretty uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep. a humid start to sunday morning, and with high pressure drifting east, we tap into that humidity from the near continent. but at the same time, with a weather front pushing in from the atlantic, where the two are likely to meet, we could start to see some sharp, thundery downpours developing on sunday. so we need to keep a close eye on that. not everyone will see them, but some of them really could be quite heavy, torrential rain. but at the same time, we still got that heat and humidity. again, temperatures potentially peaking at around 30 degrees. now, as we move out of sunday into the early half of next week, as that frontal system eases away, it's going to introduce fresher conditions and more frontal systems pushing in from the west. so with this westerly feed of air, it will be cooler at times, a little fresher anyway. showers or longer

spells of rain as well.
