having a snack or... i don't know. i was sitting with people talking and then somebody came down and said, "we lost comm". and i think i didn't comprehend at that moment what that meant. and then itjust went downhill from there. so the first day was... when the communication was lost fairly early on, and then it was just waiting like, 0k, are they going to come back up? and we were just waiting for them to come back up. i mean, that moment when you were told that, "we lost comms", i imagine it must have just been a blur after that. well, a bit delayed, i would say, because as i said,

so we all thought that they were going to come up, so... the shock was delayed by about 10 hours or so. by the time they were supposed to be up again... there was a time, i don't remember the time, but where it was supposed to be up on the surface again. and when that time passed, that's when the real shock then not shock, but when the worry and the not so good feeling started. did you have hope throughout the search? yes, we had lots of hope. i think that was the only thing that got us through it, because we were hoping and there was... we talked about things the pilots can do, like dropping weights. you know, there were so many actions that people on the sub can do in order to surface.

so we went... it was like this roller coaster. i don't know, like a wave we went through. so first, yeah, they would drop the weights, but then the ascent will be slower. so we were hoping for that and we were like, 0k. and then we were constantly looking at the surface. and so there was that hope. and then there was like there were so many things we would go through that we think it's just slow right now, its slow right now...and then. but there was a lot of hope, there was a lot of hope. i mean, i think i lost hope when we passed the 96 hours mark. that's when i lost hope. and that's when, even then, i sent a message to my family on shore. i said, i'm preparing for the worst.

that's when i lost hope. but my daughter, for example, she didn't lose hope until the call with the coast guard, when they basically informed us that they found debris. that's when she also lost hope. this is 17—year—old elaina. —— elena. she's 17 years old. i guess she was with you on the on the vessel? yes, she was with me on the vessel. tell me about the support that you both gave each other over the course... 0h, she's such an incredible such an incredible young woman. she's so self—aware.

so throughout because she was hope... the doctor did give her something to help her sleep. just a sickness medication, nothing major, whichjust helped her a little bit. and i was very glad for that because she actually got a good rest. and i think that helped her to to cope with that. but she was a very hopeful person and she was a very who is a very hopeful person. what made you lose hope then? when we crossed the 96 hours. like the 96 hours where, like they said, four days of oxygen in the cabin. that's when i lost hope. i tried really hard not to show it to her, and i really tried hard not to let it get to me. but, yeah, no, that's when i lost hope. i want you to tell me a little bit about your husband, firstly, quite an extraordinary man, an explorer, total adventurer. tell me about him. he was really able to... through his knowledge, to inspire and motivate others.

because of the depth of knowledge he has about things, he would, at some point, something resonated with anybody like that, some story he would tell, and then people would just start listening. tell me about your son, suleman. and you mentioned there that he loved what dad was into. we know he was into science fiction. tell me just some memories that you have of your boy. so he would never not go anywhere without his rubik's cube. so he used to teach himself through youtube how to solve the rubik's cube, and he was really fast at it. i think his best was 12 seconds or something like that. and he would like go anywhere, and once we travelled, and how old was he?

i don't know, maybe 12, 13? i don't remember how old he was. still quite a lot younger. and we went through the airport. the security check, and so suleman was like doing his rubik's cube. the security guy came and said, what are you doing? and he's like, oh, i'mjust solving a rubik's cube. and he's like, oh, you can't do that. so he let the security guard mix it up, he solved it. and then the guy actually took us all the way from the line and he says, you go, because that is impressive. he was very practical. while elena is more on the intellectual side, so suleman and i were very practical. how's elena? we are there for each other.

and she has turned, i think, full mother hen. she loves taking care of people. so right now she is really happy. well, happy taking care of her younger cousins. and she's looking after mum in a way. but i think our relationship, we talk a lot. we always have. and we are very open with each other. so if we need space, we are able to say that. what were your last moments or words that you shared with your husband and son? do you remember that? well, we just hugged and joked, actually, because suleman was so excited to go down. he was like a little child. was that a lifelong dream of his to do? yes, absolutely. he had this ability of childlike excitement. so they both were so excited. suleman did, i think, two years ago or so... so when we when we he did a 10,000 piece lego titanic. so he really loved that,

and he was so excited. so he applied for a world record because he wanted to solve the rubik's cube at the deepest point, basically. unfortunately, he got rejected, but we said we're still going to film it. and, you know, and he said, i'm going to solve the rubik's cube. what are the next steps for the family? and this, again, seems like a really difficult question to ask, but how do you begin to get closure? i think he started so many amazing projects. he was involved in so many projects and he helped so many people. and i think that i really want to continue that legacy and give him that platform where his work is to continued. where his work is still continued. and it's quite important for my daughter as well. to be remembered...

and alina said both... we're going to learn how to solve the rubik's cube. that's going to be a challenge for us because we are really bad at it, but we're going to learn it. 12 seconds? yeah, we promise ourselves we going to learn it for suleman we're going to... suleman loved movies and we said we're going to sit there and watch every single movie that he liked. i want to do that. i've got to watch every single one of them. is there anything else you want to add, christine? i don't know. that i miss them. i really, really miss them. yeah. that was christine dawood the wife

and mother of shahzada and suleman dawood speaking to our north america correspondent nomia iqbal. three young entrepreneurs have been sharing their vision for brixton in south london. they want to turn it into a mini—silicon valley. but with a difference! the difference being that they want it to be a silicon—valley for black—owned businesses. here's yasmin rufo. after turning his life around, carl 0cko wanted to give back to the community that saved him. start—ups in london. we're based in brixton and were aiming to make brixton the black silicon valley. carl, along with two other entrepreneurs, yvonne and cyril, run an investment firm called black seed. black seed is a fund in the community led by black founders for black founders. currently, the black founder, black entrepreneur in the uk doesn't actually receive funding. it is more likely for a black woman to win the lottery on the saturday night than to get venture capital

funding in the united kingdom. 0ne company that has benefited from black seed support is a mother and daughter duo that run an online fashion and wellness brand. super, super challenging here in the uk to gain access to funding. being connected to black seed has really helped to open some of those doors, expand our network, also gives us access to potential funding as well, which we're really excited about. and black seed has high hopes for the future. so we want black seed to be the bridge between the city and the black founder community. our aim is essentially to make brixton the home of black tech, brixton the home of black tech. having already raised £5 million to invest in other companies, black seed are one step closer to achieving their goal. yasmin rufo, bbc london. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello, at all of the heat and the humidity of the weekend, a fresher story to take us through the week ahead. many areas did see some heavy thunderstorms, overnight sunday, but to the south of the uk, many spots are still

staying stubbornly dry. meaningful rain for the counties of england, perhaps later on this weekend there is something koop —— something to come. this meant with high pressure to the south of the uk, low pressure pulling way to the north—east, showers to come, through the remainder of the day, across the northern half of the uk. most of them fading out, once the sun begins to set. central and eastern areas to stay clear of the west there is a bit more cloud arriving. a cooler night than last night arriving. temperatures didn't get out of the mid there will be lower tonight. there is 6 degrees in scotland. tuesday, an area of low pressure approaches from the atlantic, turning sunshine hazy, some rain into northern england, northern ireland and scotland as we go into the afternoon. to the south, bright skies, highs of 21, 20 2 degrees, 16 or 17 in northern scotland. 0vernight and into wednesday, we

really start to pull in some humidity from the south. a muggy start to wednesday and a warm at night again, tuesday night, and then for wednesday daytime, quite a lot of cloud around, some heavier and more persistent rain into scotland, northern england, showers potentially running across eastern england is that because at times be heavy and friendly. temperatures here have come back up again into the mid 20s. 17—18 across most of scotland and northern ireland. it is this a training weather front, what it does on thursday that is the biggest question, possibly our forecast for the week ahead. will it stick around, close to the south—east of the uk, bringing some much needed rain or will it whisk away, but firstly, as it is perhaps bringing a decent amount of rain to the south—east, 10—15 millimetres for some, the south—east, 10—15 millimetres forsome, but the south—east, 10—15 millimetres for some, but as we look across the full customer that is changing, so we will confirm that the closer to the time. as you can see, towards the time. as you can see, towards the end of the week, we moved back to the fresher air.
