urgent search and rescue operations are under way off the canadian coast after a submersible that takes people to see the wreckage of the "titanic" has gone missing. it's not clear how many are on board. time, though, is running out. plus a new report finds the justice department slow walked its investigation of former president donald trump and those in his inner circle after they attempted to steal the 2020 election. we'll look at why. >> and a high stakes meeting in beijing between tony blinken and the president. we're following those major stories and more all coming in right here to cnn central. we begin deep in the
12:02 pm
atlantic ocean where an urgent search and rescue operation is now under way for a missing submersible operated by a company that handles expeditions to the "titanic" wreckage off the coast of canada. we are learning five people are on board the missing sub according to the coast guard. we have new pictures of the sub before it was launched on sunday. there it is there in the water. you can see a flotation device, several of them around the edges on the ocean. the pictures were posted on a dive participant instagram page quote "had a success launch." right now officials are racing to find the missing crew members before their oxygen and power run out. paul newton joins us live from ottawa with details. paul, the difficulty of this, 2.4 miles deep, that's how far down the "titanic" is.
12:03 pm
do we know the status of the search, the size of the search area? >> we certainly know the size of the search area. it is quite large. while they are searching in the vicinity of the "titanic" wreck and that's about 400 miles off the southeast coast of st. john's new foundland. the problem is when they lost communication with that submersible, they had no idea they lost communication with it for about two hours and the longer time went on, they reported it to the u.s. coast guard. it's been missing for about 24 hours. according to the u.s. coast guard that's leading the search and rescue because it is technically in american waters, they continue the search with now three assets on scene. what's interesting here is the fact that canada and that is specifically the halifax research coordination and rescue center has sent up a p-8. that can look from the air to look for a submersible in the
12:04 pm
sea bed. as you just pointed out, jim, what is so difficult is the depth. they have no way of knowing if they were on their way back up and lost communication or if they were somewhere in the depth of this wreckage, which, as you say, is almost 2.5 miles beneath the ocean. we need to say here that they do have about four days, 96 hours of oxygen and fuel, things that will protect them as the search continues, but obviously it's incredibly difficult. it could just be a communication problem at this point in time. the other things that they are looking for is the weather, which will impact the search and rescue obviously. again, three assets the u.s. coast guard says is on the scene right now. more to come. i should also say they continue to pool experties from all over the world, jim. at issue here is that this kind of deep sea rescue is incredibly difficult. even if they locate them, if they can't come to the surface, the issue is how do you get them to the surface and that's what the u.s. coast guard is working on right now.
12:05 pm
>> and that crucial two hours there gives you time to, well, perhaps get farther away, expands that search area. pa paula newton, thank you so much. we're going to go live to the coast guard. the p.a. poseiden, can you describe what capabilities they have? >> the u.n. has a c-130 hercules that can be used for long-range control and likely it's able to stay in the air for a long time and search the surface of the water to see if there is evidence there, to see if the submersible surfaced at some point. that's what the coast guard would use to search over a large body of water.
12:06 pm
the canadians have equipment used to search underwater. its specialty, its mission is to find submersibles, submarines underwater. it is a military aircraft so it most often used to search for enemy submarines, this a little bit different as it looks for a civilian submersible and it's much smaller than you would expect a military submarine to be. and the canadian coast guard vessel is on the way as well. it is heading for the traffic at about 15 knots. that's 17 or 18 miles an hour. that will take quite some time to get there. the challenge is piling up here. >> and the p8 looks for submersibles that don't want to be found. thanks so much.
12:07 pm
we also have correspondent tom foreman here in d.c. as we're looking at this here, what's the difference between a submersible and a submarine? >> they're all submarines but submersibles are a particular type of submarine. that's will speak to what paula and oren just mentioned about why this is difficult do. a submarine is a big vessel, meant to be underwater for a long period of time, supports a crew of 100, 130 people. and in truth, they don't tend to operate in that deep of water. if you're looking for military subs, they're fairly close to the surface. submersibles and there are robotically operated ones, those are that autonomous but a human submersible like this goes much, much, much, much deeper. yes, it's a much smaller profile
12:08 pm
vessel. it's only meant to be down for a limited period of time compared to a submarine. it only supports a limited number of people on board. although it has very good movement horizontally and the ability to come up and down, that's its limited scope here. imagine if you had a very, very tall building and you were searching for something in the top few floors of it, that's where you're looking for a submarine as we normally think of a submarine. when you talk about a submersible, you would have to go down through all the floors to the bottom to maybe find that submersible. as you can even see in these pictures, much, much smaller. the chief difference is a submarine can stay down a long time and support a whole lot of people and it stays relatively close to the surface. a submersible can go very, very deep with very few people on board and it's a small target to look for in a great big ocean. >> you may not know the answer to this and forgive me if you don't, but would they have a
12:09 pm
transponder, something that would send a signal to alert its position or is it passive, you have to find it yourself? >> i don't know. there's communications very often. but as it's been pointed out, at this depth over this difference, it's very, very difficult to deal with. one way of thinking about it that is really important, think of the deep ocean as you would space but worse. i mean, arguably there have been fewer people to the deep ocean than have been to space because the deep ocean is a very, very forbidding environment where everything, communications, air, water, rescue, all of that is difficult, extremely difficult. so that's what they're facing now. >> the bottom of the ocean is less explored than outer space. tom foreman, something we'll continue to follow. the u.s. coast guard just tweeted contact with the vessel was lost about one hour and 45 minutes into its dive. we continue to dig in on this.
12:10 pm
we're going to bring you more as we get it. certainly, boris, an urgent search here, a very large area but lots of assets headed that way right now. >> every minute counts in that search. we're going to stay on top of it just as you said, jim. we're also tracking another major head lline this afternoon. a new investigation by "the washington post" revealing the fbi twice cancelled perhaps to launch a formal investigation into donald trump's roll in january 6th. that means they waited more than a year to investigate the o president's actions. thank you both for being with us. elliott, right away your response to the news they waited
12:11 pm
more than a year to open the investigation? >> welcome to the woldrld of putting investigations together, boris. it can take a long time to open an investigation and to dot the eyes and cross the ts. this is the kind of investigation you cannot get wrong. any time you're going after someone criminally, prosecutors and investigators want to make sure they get it correct. when you're investigating the former president with all kinds of considerations, such as his free speech rights and so on, you have to make you are you get it right. i'm not surprised things played out over a period of months, even a year. >> something i found interesting is this wasn't one official outlining this strategy, there seemed to be a consensus among a number of top prosecutors. >> one of the goals was to not remain partisan. particularly over the last few weeks and the past several months, the donald trump former
12:12 pm
administration, donald trump and his team and other republicans on capitol hill and elsewhere are still painting it as such. even though there's a lot of attention right now on his most recent indictment regarding the classified documents case, i think the thing that i know donald trump's team is preparing for and is also concerned about is will there be an indictment in the january 6th case in georgia. we're told that could happen potentially in august. so i think we'll probably start to learn more about what's happening behind the scenes with that in the coming weeks. i think this reporting is very interesting and also the fact one of the reasons they did this was to not appear partisan and they're still being attacked. >> in your experience, that kind of delay, could that hinder the gathering of evidence? >> that's an excellent question. number one, memories fade and, number two, evidence gets stale. and certainly taking a year from any sort of criminal activity can hurt an investigation. now again, there's a reason to
12:13 pm
proceed with caution and there's a reason to make sure things are lined up and correct. however, you're going to have better evidence closer in time to the events that you're v investigating. >> i want to play sound of his former secretary of defense and attorney general being critical of his handling of classified documents. watch this. >> do you think trump can be trusted with the nation's secrets ever again? >> well, based on his actions again if proven true under the indictment by the special counsel, no. i mean, it's just irresponsible action that places our service members at risk, places our nation's security at risk. >> he will always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country's interests. there's no question about it. >> this to me goes to the point you were making previously in a way because these were two officials that were not seen as
12:14 pm
partisan yet they're being painted that way now. >> these comments from mark esper and bill barr are very striking and they're very different from what we've been hearing from many in the republicans party, leaders on capitol hill and donald trump's 2024 presidential rivals. i think one really important thing to note here is both esper and barr were cabinet level members of his administration and they had access to sensitive information that he had. very critical of warning what a potential 2024 return to the white house could be for donald trump and arguing they don't think he should be trusted with the nation's secrets. those are damning comments from mark esper and bill barr there. >> and both being painted as
12:15 pm
traitors. >> brianna. >> a potential step in the right direction. tony blinken seen here after a quick stop in london to brief president biden after meetings with officials and including a meeting this morning with president xi. as tensions between the two nations continue to be at an all-time, both countries are touting some progress but key sticking points remain. >> very candid, very in depth and in places constructive. and in other places we have a lot more work to do. >> cnn national security correspondent kiley atwood is live in beijing on this. decipher that diplo speak for us. how did this go? >> well, listen, i think the biden administration is actually
12:16 pm
feeling pretty good coming out of these two days of meetings because what they got the chinese to agree to was the need to stabilize the relationship. and that was really the key motivation going into these two days of meetings for the secretary of state. can the u.s. and china get in the same room and really have a real honest dialogue face to face about the issues, the challenges at play in the relationship between these two super powers? now, when it comes to progress, the secretary of state said there was progress on some front when it comes to the fentanyl issue, the synthetic opioid issues in the united states, it really affects americans, it's a major killer of americans ages 18 through 49. there was agreement between the u.s. and china to stand up a working group to address that issue because a lot of the inputs for fentanyl come from precursor chemicals produced in china. that's significant. what the secretary also said is that progress takes time and
12:17 pm
this these two days weren't going to be some salve to all of the issues to these two nations. one of the major issues the secretary set out to address was trying to send out regular military-to-military channels of communication between the two countries and the chinese did not great to that. the fact they did not make that agreement, that's a challenge and the secretary said that's something the u.s. will continue to push china on. when it comes to taiwan, it is clear there are remaining tensions between the u.s. and china, really unsurprisingly. we heard from the chinese foreign minister readout that they made demands of the u.s. when it comes to taiwan. they said it presents the most pronounced risk to the u.s.-china relationship and the secretary of state basically said the u.s. position on taiwan remains the same. here's what he said in the press conference earlier today.
12:18 pm
>> we do not support taiwan's independence. we made clear that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo by either side. we've been clear and consistent in our policy. at the same time, we and many others have deep concerns about some of the provocative actions that china's taken in recent years. now, what's clear is that this meeting, these two days of meetings, are going to launch continued engagements between the u.s. and china. the secretary said the expectation is that senior administration officials are going to travel to beijing from the united states in the coming weeks. he also invited the chinese foreign minister to visit washington. we don't have a date for that but the foreign minister did accept that invitation. >> all right, steps in the right direction perhaps here. thank you for that report from

this video shows a tank packed with tons of explosives being detonated remotely in a ukrainian stronghold. this shows the tank hitting a mind shortly before exploding, which may complicate russia's claim here. in the meantime, a senior ukrainian official says kyiv's forces have recaptured eight settlements. russia is denying that, saying it successfully repelled ukrainian advances. let's try to get the real story from ben wedeman, who is live in zaporizhzhia. ben, what is the latest from the front lines?
12:33 pm
>> reporter: well, we heard this morning from the deputy defense minister of ukraine in a the ukrainians had managed to liberate about 44 square miles in southern ukraine, and that they had, as you said, liberated eight settlements, but we know from this afternoon that one of those settlements has been the scene of intense fighting. and it's not altogether clear who controls it at this point. president zelenskyy said the fighting is most intense in the southern part of ukraine and that's actually just about an hour, the front line. that part of the front line from where we are. now, the russians, even the ukrainians concede have laid massive mine fields and moved reserves to the area south of here, south of zaporizhzhia. so it's not a surprise that they have had months to prepare for
12:34 pm
this offensive and that they have laid out defenses to make it very difficult for the ukrainians to make progress. having said that, we should keep in mind that we are just in the opening phases of this offensive. it's widely considered that the ukrainians are involved in what's called a shaping operation. basically to find out where the weak points in the russian front lines are. they have yet to commit the bulk of their forces to the fighting. but so far the fighting, even the ukrainians will concede, has been very difficult with high casualties on both sides. >> they have a tough task ahead of them. ben wedeman live from zaporizhzhia, thank you. boris? >> back in the united states president biden is set to deliver a speech in california next hour focused on fighting the climate crisis. the white house says the president will announce nearly

on that map there. that does show this is a growing trend that's impacting, according to the biden administration, impacting more than 500,000 americans annually in this country, brianna. >> can you tell us how many child births are covered by medicaid? >> we do know it's about 41%. that's about four in ten births nationally, which kind of gives you a snapshot again of just how many people across the country potentially will be impacted by this trend to extend medicaid post partum. as i mentioned before, brianna, this does appear to be an approach from states to tackle the maternal health crisis in this country and reduce the number of pregnancy-related deaths that we see post partum nationwide. >> we talk about it a lot. it is a huge issues. jacqueline howard, thank you so much for that. this just in to cnn, the coast guard has announced it's
