parts of the tourist submersible that imploded on a deep dive to the titanic have been recovered and brought back to shore. and the us coast guard says presumed human remains have also been discovered inside the debris. us medical officials will conduct a formal analysis and testing of the remains. these are the first images of the wreckage covered in tarps arriving in stjohn's, canada this morning. five people died aboard the titan when it broke apart close to the sea floor, less than two hours after it had began its dive. joining me now in studio is the bbc�*s carl nasman who has been covering this story closely. debris from the titan sub itself has also been found. what will investigators be looking for? this is coming from the us coast guard, they say these are presumed human remains brought from canada to the us to be examined by medical officials. they said they had been proceeding very cautiously with

the actual investigation at the bottom of the sea floor, just in case they came across any human body is down there. it's also a bit surprising because in speaking with some experts earlier, some of them said, look, we may neverfind earlier, some of them said, look, we may never find any human remains, given the extreme depth and the pressure down below the ocean, 2.5 miles below the surface. there were of course five people onboard the titan so this is likely also another difficult day for family members and friends of the victims. family members and friends of the victim-— the victims. we're looking at -ictures the victims. we're looking at pictures of — the victims. we're looking at pictures of debris _ the victims. we're looking at pictures of debris from - the victims. we're looking at pictures of debris from the i pictures of debris from the submarine itself. local investigators, what will they be looking for?— be looking for? they will be lookin: be looking for? they will be looking for _ be looking for? they will be looking for clues _ be looking for? they will be looking for clues to - be looking for? they will be looking for clues to see - be looking for? they will be looking for clues to see a i be looking for? they will be | looking for clues to see a lot of those pieces, some pretty key pieces, large ones that you can see. these appear to be the nose of the submersible, some landing bits of the bottom of the vessel, machinery, electronics, lots of fragments being taken ashore. they will being taken ashore. they will be looking to try to figure out what exactly caused this implosion and when it might have happened and of course,

there were so many questions raised about the safety of the vessel, the experimental nation, nature of what oceangate was doing and also its ceo, stockton rush, and the fibre used to make the whole so they will be examining these fibres in the shape of the cylinder, a spear, more typical so if they can find any clues as to why this happened, they will be looking at it.— will be looking at it. what happens _ will be looking at it. what happens next _ will be looking at it. what happens next with - will be looking at it. what happens next with the - will be looking at it. what - happens next with the recovery? two investigations taking place. in the us and canada. the us coast guard has said it has launched its highest level of enquiry, a marine board of investigation. they are not only going to be looking into the cause of what happened but any potential negligence or criminal acts that might have taken place. in canada, officials will be looking for evidence as well and they say this will only be the beginning, a long process. carl, thank you very much for all of those updates.

in the us, president biden has been hitting the road to make the case for his economic policies. during a major policy speech in chicago on wednesday, mr biden touted what he's calling �*bidenomics.’ he also stressed his administration's economic successes, arguing he deserves more credit for his handling of the economy. it's part of a three—week push by his team to win over voters, who are struggling with high inflation and rising interest rates. here's some of what the president had to say about his policies. bidenomics is working! when i took office, the pandemic was raging and our economy was reeling. supply chains were broken, millions of people unemployed, hundreds of thousands of small businesses on the verge of closing after some that are close. literally hundreds of thousands on the verge of closing. today, the us hass the highest economic growth rate leading the world economy since the pandemic. the highest in the world. shortly after that speech, my colleague helena humphrey spoke with congresswoman haley stevens,

a democratic representative from michigan. the speech of the president was all about touting his achievements of what others and the president himself have now called bidenomics. you look at recent polling, 57% of people disapprove of his handling of the economy and if you compare that to 38% of people who approve of his handling of the economy. why do you think that the voters feel this way?- the voters feel this way? look, it's that point _ the voters feel this way? look, it's that point in _ the voters feel this way? look, it's that point in what - the voters feel this way? look, it's that point in what is - the voters feel this way? look, it's that point in what is soon i it's that point in what is soon to he — it's that point in what is soon to he the _ it's that point in what is soon to be the heat of a presidential election cycle, where _ presidential election cycle, where people are paying attention in different ways. one — attention in different ways. one thing we know here in michigan is that we have some of the — michigan is that we have some of the lowest unemployment we have ever — of the lowest unemployment we have ever had in this state. the — have ever had in this state. the city _ have ever had in this state. the city of _ have ever had in this state. the city of detroit, famously known — the city of detroit, famously known as _ the city of detroit, famously known as the epitome of the rust— known as the epitome of the rust belt, is now booming, it's

people were at that speech. hour people were at that speech. how many people _ people were at that speech. how many people listened to what was said at that speech, hearing his passion. that's what he needs to do, is go and talk to people, and he is doing just that and it's going to work. ., ., ., ., work. you mentioned china. you are on the _ work. you mentioned china. you are on the select _ work. you mentioned china. you are on the select committee - work. you mentioned china. you are on the select committee for| are on the select committee for competitiveness with china, the us times reporting the biden administration may impose greater restriction on china's ability to build high—end chips, the power ai. how should they handle this?— they handle this? we've got to look at where _ they handle this? we've got to look at where we _ they handle this? we've got to look at where we are _ they handle this? we've got to look at where we are strong i they handle this? we've got to look at where we are strong in | look at where we are strong in technology investments from the university level to the private sector. we've obviously seen some amazing contributions made from microsoft, mr sam altmann's company, which is now chatgpt but we know there are global indicators that show china is leading in 27 out of

restaurant. it is weak man activities, putin's classic playbook. he deals with his own up playbook. he deals with his own up riding, uprising from the wagner group and attacks innocent people dining out in ukraine and it's not acceptable that it's taken place in the united states will continue to invest in support. we must. your constituent is paul whelan, the former marine in a russian prison right now. what does that mean for efforts under way to secure his release? it under way to secure his release?— under way to secure his release? . , , , . release? it has been, since the beginning. _ release? it has been, since the beginning. an _ release? it has been, since the beginning, an unbelievable - beginning, an unbelievable situation with paul whelan and it was lawlessness and frankly an example of what we call canary in the coal mine of what mr putin was going to partake

in the global stage with illegal activities. as we knew that this war was going to start and when it started, the concern for paul's well being increased, and he does still have counsellor access but it is very touchy, the leveraged points that we have to see him return home. there is something about his profile and the fact that he is a former marine, that he is a former marine, thatis that he is a former marine, that is just let that he is a former marine, that isjust let him that he is a former marine, that is just let him stuck in this russian prison forfar too long but as is brother david recently said, we believe and we know we're not going to give up we know we're not going to give up hope that he will come home, i am working day in and day out andi i am working day in and day out and i was so pleased to see every democrat, every republican support unanimously a resolution in the congress, calling on the russian federation to release him, calling out the russian federation for their illegal kidnapping and imprisonment of

mr whelan. let's get more now on the president's campaign stop with margaret talev, she's a senior contributor at axios and the director of the institute for democracy, journalism and citizenship at syracuse university. in president's team said this is a way for him to let his vision. what is the vision bidenomics, term, it wasn't invented by him, the wall streetjournal previously used it. it street journal previously used it. , ., . it. it will try to distance himself _ it. it will try to distance himself from _ it. it will try to distance himself from people's i it. it will try to distance i himself from people's bad perceptions about the economy and the other is to try and seize on the positive numbers, embrace it and define himself and the economy together as a success and that's what this is an effort to do. what does bidenomics mean? joe biden says that meansjob creation, bidenomics mean? joe biden says that means job creation, ideas like cheap prescription drugs,

a repudiation of reaganomics, the idea that low taxes in ritual boats and probably most importantly, the administration would define bidenomics as the idea that targeted government investment in very specific beings, like renewable energy, microchip manufacturing, infrastructure spending, that those are going to be ways to make the american economy robust and higher with the working class. some of the voters who went towards donald trump over the last several years, there is a case for it. that is still to be determined. you touched on the negative perception and this is the conundrum because inflation is coming down, job numbers are strong at the moment, the economy is growing and yet only 34% of americans approve of his handling of the economy, according to the latest associated press pole. is top economic adviserjared

bernstein spoke to npr about it today and this is what he said. a lot of it depends on how you ask the question, steve. if you ask the question, steve. if you ask broad questions, one of the problems you find these days is you immediately tap into a deep well of partisanship. bidenomics is about getting things that are pretty grey done. building the economy from the bottom up in the middle out in a way that we know actually resonates strongly with people. so margaret, does it actually resonates with people? that is a treat resonates with people? that is a great question. _ resonates with people? that is a great question. the - resonates with people? that is| a great question. the challenge for president biden and his advisers is that people who are listening to npr are probably already supportive ofjoe biden. on fox news a couple of hours ago, i had a look to see how they were treating the story and the chiron on the bottom of this screen was "biden can't explain bidenomics" and so the middle swing voters are neither/ nor so its psychology the people

are more likely to remember the bad things, they will remember gas prices, the spike in inflation, but i will say this, during president obama's era, republicans tried to take him with the phrase obamacare to describe the affordable care act. it democrats in those mid—term elections but over time, the affordable care act became really popular, americans embraced it and they got a lot of credit for it so if biden and his advisers are right, that the economy is going to continue to get better and they can convince americans thatis and they can convince americans that is true, he will want that to be associated with his name by 2020. to be associated with his name b 2020. �* , to be associated with his name b 2020. �*, ., ~ ., , by 2020. let's talk about his ossible by 2020. let's talk about his possible opponent. - by 2020. let's talk about his possible opponent. the - by 2020. let's talk about his i possible opponent. the former president is the front runner for the republican nomination. today the head elections in georgia spoke to special counseljack smith's office. troubles reported asking him to find those in his favour right after the election. many of us have heard that phone call. how

he vowed to hold whoever helped russian terrorists to the maximum penalty. andrew harding sent this report from kramatorsk. outside the ruins of the popular restaurant, anxious relatives and friends, still waiting for news late this afternoon here in eastern ukraine. another body, the 11th so far, is brought out, to the distress of those hoping for word of more survivors. among those already confirmed dead, these twins, i4—year—olds yuliya and anna. this was the scene in the city of kramatorsk last night, moments after a russian missile hit the restaurant and a nearby hotel. untranslated speech shock and panic amongst survivors. "my daughter is still inside, her name is irina," says this woman.

later, we hear she has been rescued. but the death toll has continued to rise. the rear lounge was a favourite venue for young ukrainians, international journalists and ukrainian soldiers taking a break from the nearby front lines. rescue work continued through the night. it's become a grim routine now in a big industrial city that's been repeatedly targeted by the kremlin's forces over the past year—and—a—half. and this time a new twist — ukrainian security services releasing this photo of a local man they've just arrested, describing him as a russian agent who allegedly sent video footage of the restaurant to the russian military just hours before it was destroyed. did the kremlin deliberately target this particular resta u ra nt ? in a sense, it doesn't matter. russia sent two big, powerful missiles crashing into the centre of a crowded

city at a busy time of day. civilian casualties were almost inevitable. another air raid siren, but the rescue work goes on regardless. andrew harding, bbc news, kramatorsk. canada is experiencing its worst wildfire season in modern history — surpassing its record for the largest area burned in a single year. there are currently 483 wildfires burning across the country, with more than 250 considered to be out of control. the blazes have burned more than 20 million acres or 8.1 hectares — 21 times above the average over the last decade. the wildfires are also bringing record—breaking air pollution to the us. with air quality alerts in effect in parts of 17 states, covering nearly a third of the population. to the uk, where the british government's own watchdog says it is no longer a world leader on climate change. the climate change committee says it's markedly less confident than it was a year

ago that the uk will reach its target for cutting carbon emissions. here's our climate editor justin rowlatt with more. what the report's saying is, look, you talk the talk on climate but do not walk the walk. what does that mean? it's all about delivery. it says delivery of its climate ambitions are worryingly slow. the ambitions, it says, are stretching, what they're talking about is a commitment made by borisjohnson in the run—up to the big un climate conference we had in glasgow in 2021. he said the uk would cut emissions by 68% based on 1990 levels by the end of the decade, so we have seven years to get there. and that is a very ambitious target but it's a legally binding target and the job of the climate change committee, the official watchdog for the uk government on climate, is to judge whether or not it's going to make that target. it got a huge release of additional information as a result of a court case and it says that information has made it less confident rather than more confident about the uk's ambition. what kind of things

are we talking about? like you say, the decision to approve a coal mine, the expectation it will approve a new oil field off the coast of shetland, the pace of the roll—out of renewables into the future — we've been good in a past but not fast enough in the future. it also says we're not doing enough to decarbonise industry. it's also saying we need to do more to manage how people in britain cut their carbon emissions, you need to encourage them to do the right thing. take a look at this, this graph shows us heat pump installations — this is a low—carbon form of home heating and the measure the government says people should do in order to reduce the carbon impact of heating. this shows a european comparison. at the top, finland, norway, estonia, sweden, the nordic countries — very cold climates there. look how many heat pumps they're installing per year. right down the bottom, you may not be able to see this on your screens, we have the uk. not going fast enough, that's about a ninth of the target of 600,000 heat

pumps a year by 2028 that the government set itself. heat pumps are a problem, insulation too, but look at this, tree—pla nting. the government has ambitious plans for planting trees but this shows the last five decades — instead of going up the number of trees planted has actually been falling over the decades. they say we need to plant many more trees, at least double the rate, and also peatland restoration. let me just move that. and have a listen to what the chairman of the climate change committee had to say when i spoke to him last week. the sad thing is that the government, having really lead the world in net—zero community and the policies it's put forward, and the very important success of the glasgow meeting, has now lost that leadership because it isn't delivering.

that's the issue, it's to deliver what it has committed itself to nationally and internationally. what does the government say to this? it says, look, we've met all our carbon commitments to date we expect to meet all our carbon commitments in the future. in fact, it set up a new department, the department for energy security and net—zero, and says that is evidence we are really making an effort to tackle this. as i say, the clear evidence from the uk's climate change committee, its watchdog on climate, is the uk is not doing enough. justin rowlatt there. one more item before we go. madonna has postponed her world tour after a stay in intensive care with a serious bacterial infection. according to her manager, guy oseary, the global popstar�*s health is improving but she still remains in the hospital. the 64—year—old pop icon aimed

most of these will be across the north and the west of scotland. they'll be more of a breeze here, too, but it'll be a cooler day across the board, 15 to 21 or 22 degrees across the south and feel noticeably fresher across southern areas. then as we move through thursday night and the clear skies, temperatures fall away, but we'll see further cloud and showers across northern and western scotland and thicker cloud pushing into northern ireland later on. but a cooler night to come out of towns and cities will be in single digits. so this is the picture then for friday, we start off dry across eastern areas, but this next low pressure system and its weather fronts will continue to push into northern and western areas through the day. so a nice, bright but cool start to central and eastern parts of the country. soon the clouds will tend to build in and spread to all areas and it turns wetter for scotland, northern ireland. then some rain getting into northern and western england and wales, but tending to stay dry across eastern england until after dark. mostly cloudy though, limited brightness temperatures again mid to high teens in the north, high teens low 20s in the south. that rain band clears right across the country

during the course of friday night. the rain clears in the southeast saturday morning, and then its bright but breezy. plenty of sunshine, low pressure sitting to the north of scotland will bring windy weather to scotland with showers or longer spells of rain here and again, temperatures around orjust below the seasonal norm. but we could be up to 23 or 24 in the southeast with a lot of sunshine here. sunday, low pressure shifting to the north of the uk again stays windy across scotland with outbreaks of rain or showers. some of these heavy in the west of scotland, fewer showers the further south that you are on some areas in the southeast staying completely dry with sunny spells, but quite a noticeable breeze. and again, temperatures will range from around 15 to 22 celsius.
