that's where we begin arcs a little bit of hope in that desperate search for a missing sub near the "titanic" shipwreck. the sound of banging detected underwater and the noise apparently repeated every 30 minutes. republican leaders are accusing the justice department of giving hunter biden a sweetheart plea deal. we will take a look at the facts. millions of americans under extreme heat alerts as the summer officially kicks off today. we will take you live to south texas where temps are expected to keep breaking records. this hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. new overnight a potential sign of life as rescuers race to find the submersible that vanished while diving on the "titanic" shipwreck. sonar picked up banging sounds in the search area and those were repeated, those sounds, every 30 minutes according to an internal u.s. government memo. this morning the coast guard says it's not clear what the source of the sound was and navy

experts are analyzing it. it is estimated the five passengers have about a day left of breathable air at this point if that's submersible is still intact. here is what a former passenger onboard that same missing sub said what it's like inside. >> as you start to descend through the water column it is an amazing journey to see the light quickly disappear and within five, ten minutes you are in pitch dark. complete dark. and you have the lights from the sub, right. you have the lights from the submersible you can see outside and internally. but without those, your light is gone at any depth below a couple hundred meters. so anyone would be in complete darkness if they didn't have power still at this point. >> take a look. new video from this morning of another rescue vessel heading out to join the operations after the u.s. air force flew special equipment into newfoundland. miguel marquez joins us in st.

john's, newfoundland. can you talk to us about what the coast guard is doing this morning? >> reporter: it is all hands on deck. there was a coast guard ship from the canadian coast guard that just shipped out. now there is the horizon arctic that private ship that left overnight. both of them carrying gear. both of them heading out to the search area now in the hope that they can rescue the individuals who may be as far as two miles down and looking for help. with regard to the sounds that were heard, this was over about a four-hour period. there was a poseidon, a sub hunter that dropped buoys into the ocean. it heard banging. every 30 minutes they heard a regular banging. and then four hours later they dropped more buoys in, heard more banging. they sent remote operated vehicles to the location where they thought that sound was

coming from but were not able to find anything. they are now moving surface ships around the area to see if they can either hear other sounds. they heard other sounds after that initial period yesterday of about four or five hours or so, but it wasn't banging. so they are not clear, it's not clear what they were hearing down there at that point. but just an excruciating weight. an absolute concern here for what, if they are alive, what they must be going through down there in the cold and the dark and just hoping against hope that they are rescued. back to you. >> let's talk more about the search and the resources that are involved. you talked about that one ship that was en route searching from the air, on the surface of the water, below the water. miguel, what do you know? >> reporter: so, there were three u.s. military c-17s that landed in st. john's in newfoundland yesterday. that gear was offloaded from the

planes, put on to the horizon arctic that went out about two hours ago. and there is everything from remote operated vehicles, submersibles that can dive down that deep, gear that, if they find it, they can wench it up if necessary, and even remote -- or decompression chambers, so if individuals come up and they are suffering the effects of decompression, they can put them in a chamber and, hopefully, save them. everything that they can do it seems is being done. back to you. >> miguel marquez in newfoundland, thank you. >> miguel was just saying this is a huge multinational search and rescue operation. it's in the air. american and canadian surveillance planes are flying overhead. the canadian p-3 drops torpedo-like buoys in the water on the surface. five vessels from the united states, canada and france. they have been deployed. and searching underwater.

the robot that dives deeper than the "titanic." we are talking about 13,000 plus feet here. the ship delivering it is only expected to arrive tonight. we know time is of the essence. >> only 24 hours about of breathable air inside that vessel. david gallo is a senior advisor for the strategic initiatives for rms "titanic" incorporated which owns the salvage rights to the titanic wreck site.titanic which owns the salvage rights to the titanic wreck site. the last update was the scope was 10,000 square miles, about the size of the state of maryland and they are looking for something the size of an extended cab pickup truck, right? so that's the perspective. once you hear the banging, do you concentrate on where that was? or do you expand because thus far you haven't seen anything in that 10,000 square miles? >> right. that's a big area.

but they must have reasons to expand the search area to look there. i think you have to continue the air search in case the sub is at the surface. but i think it's so -- you can't ignore the banging. and you don't have time to wait to analyze the sounds exactly. so you have to assume, i think, that they are human made and then move equipment in that direction right now so that if the analysis happens and you say, okay, that's the sub that you are already have vehiclesen t on the spot. there is no time to waste with waiting to analyze before you move that way. and i am sure the coast guard is doing that. they are moving -- in fact, i heard that. they are vectoring in on that area. so my hope is that they do that quickly. i don't know if they've responded to the banging or sounds with another sound from the surface ship, from a surface

ship back to the submarine to acknowledge, yes, we hear you. you know, so that's -- that will -- we will have to see if they have done that. >> maybe we will find out at the next update from the coast guard. you have a dear friend onboard, p.h. nargeolet onboard. we are hoping alongside you they are all okay and still alive. can you speak to what role the buoys dropped, the ships and aircraft can all play together? >> sure. yeah. the aircraft, so you can fly overhead looking down at the surface to spot things, use radar also to spot things at the surface. once you get below the sea level though, the water level, you're in a world of sound. not things you can see easily, but, you know, sound travels a long way beneath the water. you can't hear that from a plane overhead, so they drop the torpedo-like sonar buoys from the plane into the water. they have the acoustic listening.

so they are listening to the underwater world and they take the sounds that they hear, very sensitive, and send them back to the aircraft for analysis. it's the only way really you can hear what's going on in the deep from a plane overhead. now, i don't know, typically these are made to find submarines and submarines don't go anywhere near -- navy submarines don't go anywhere near 3,800 meters depth. so i am not sure if the buoys can hear that. but you have to assume that they can at this point. time is out. that's the world series way to hear what's going on from a plane overhead. hopefully, we get those answers from the coast guard when they get their update a little later today. david gallo, thank you. >> thinking about you and everyone who knows people op board for sure. already. the first official day of summer today, will be dangerously hot in the south.

nearly 30 million people under heat alerts, including large parts of texas. record-breaking triple-digit temperatures continue for seven days. the temperatures forecast today in houston, 112, same in corpus christi, austin 113. rosa flores is live from galveston. it is early there, but still i bet you're feeling it? >> reporter: everything is bigger in texas, poppy, even the heat. right now it is about 83 degrees where i am here in galveston and the humidity is close to 100. a lot of people in texas will be coming to texas beaches like this one to try to cool off and nearby houston the temperature has not dropped below 80 in a week. the temperature in the day between 100 and 101. if you put in the humid, the heat index has been between 110 and 115 and houston is not alone. take a look across the state of texas. all of those big cities, the

heat index has been between 110 and 120. some of the smaller cities in texas don't have much relief. they have been between 108 and 112 degrees. this prompted the state of texas to open up cooling centers. now, these can be ymcas or libraries that really give people a little relief during the day where they can get some air-conditioning and all of this has been testing the texas grid. ercot, the operator of the texas grid, has said that people need to conserve energy and we want to do our part, poppy. we are going to try to make chocolate fondue today. we've got some chocolate here and also some strawberries. it's not that hot yet, but, poppy, i think we are going to be able to achieve this with the texas heat. >> rosa flores with the live shot of the morning. why am i not surprised? i bet it's going to be super

dippy. that a word? >> dippy is not a word. but i will say with these temperatures, you will get there, rosa. maybe we will create dipmy? >> reporter: i will be tweeting the photo to you guys. i will be making chocolate fondue right here courtesy of the heat of texas. >> she makes the best of every situation, including when it's 113 degrees. there you go. >> thank you. all right. still to come, hunter biden's plea deal. republicans are turning it into a rallying cry. plus, the special counsel who investigated the investigators in the 2016 trump russia probe set to testify. john durham will speak before congress about his findings. what to expect. that's next.

really is just a slap on the wrist and it came a week after the indictment of donald trump over the documents. for years now the fbi and the doj have known about other crimes potentially committed by hunter biden, other biden family members, and today i have more questions than i have answers. a lot of people get smacked with a gun charge, they don't get a walk away like hunter biden. there is more to the story i believe than meets the eye. >> that's not entirely accurate. we will dig into all of this. that was republican congresswoman nancy mace here on "cnn this morning" last hour sounding off on hunter biden's deal with the justice department. he will plead guilty to federal tax charges and made a deal on a felony gun charge. it is expected he will avoid prison time. mace is one of many republicans who are saying this doesn't pass muster in their mind. >> if you were the president's

leading political opponent, doj tries to literally put you in jail and give you prison time. if you are the president's son, you get a sweetheart deal. >> and moments ago attorney general merrick garland was asked about a double standard at the justice department while he was in sweden. listen to this. >> as i said from the moment of my appointment as attorney general, i would leave this matter in the hands of the united states attorney who was appointed by the previous president and assigned to this matter by the previous administration that he what be given full authority to decide the matter as he decided was appropriate. and that's what he has done and if you have any further questions about that matter, you should direct them to the u.s. attorney to explain his decision. >> paula reid joins us now. good morning. nancy mace is among a lot of

republicans both candidates for the white house and also republicans in congress who are saying this isn't fair, this doesn't make sense, this is only because his last name is biden. tell us about the reaction and the facts. >> yeah, that's exactly why you hear the attorney general trying to emphasize this case has been overseen by a trump appointed u.s. attorney, someone he had stay on to continue to oversee this investigation. also special counsel to hand the investigation into president biden and former president trump. he is trying to protect the independence and reputation of the justice department, specifically when it comes to hunter biden. the president's son continues to be a political flashpoint with the republicans capitalizing on his personal and legal problems and trying to connect them to his father. but here after five years of a trump appointed u.s. attorney with all the resources of the justice department who has investigated everything from possible foreign lobbying to

money-laundering, all that's left on the table in this plea deal are two misdemeanor tax charges. so hunter biden is expected to plead guilty to failing to pay his taxes on time in 2017 and 2018. he owed about $100,000 in each of those years, failed to pay by the deadline. he did pay with fees and penalties and we learned from our sources the justice department is expected to recommend probation for his sentence. now, poppy, this is not an unusual way to resolve a case where someone failed to pay taxes for the first time by a deadline. hunter biden can also avoid facing a felony gun charge to failing to disclose his addiction on a form when buying a firearm. it is unusual at the federal level to be charged with anything like this but at the state level it is common to use a diversion program to avoid sending someone to jail or penalizing them when drugs or alcohol are involved. so he will have to comply with some court-ordered requirements

in order to get that charge expunged. but all of this is subject to approval by a judge. but at the end of the day, what the justice department is presenting here and what hunter is agreeing to plead guilty to does not corroborate many of the accusations made against hunter biden. >> that's right. and just to be clear, a deal for a diversion program is not rare. maybe rare to be charged federally, but not rare for someone who is not a convicted felon or has not used that gun in the commission of a violent crime. the judge needs to sign off on it. but the memo from david wise announcing this deal used the word ongoing to describe the investigation. what does that mean? >> a lot of confusion over this. hunter biden's lawyers released a statement saying they believe the plea deal would resolve all matters. the u.s. attorney released a statement saying the matter is ongoing.

it appears that's boilerplate language you put in an announcement because the plea deal, this is not the final disposition of this case. the judge has to approve it. hunter biden has to hold up his end. deal. this case will be open until all of those issues are resolved. it is expected there is unlike lie any other issues will be outstanding because it would be highly irregular for the justice department to resolve a case with a plea deal if they were still investigating other substantial issues. we know lawmakers have said if they get a chance to talk to the u.s. attorney they are going to seek clarity. we may get clarification if and when hunter biden appears in court to plead guilty and be arraigned which we expect will happen in the coming weeks. >> thanks. happening today, the special counsel who concluded that the fbi should never have launched a full investigation into the 2016 trump campaign's connections with russia is set to testify publicly before congress. john durham had a closed-door meeting yesterday with the house intelligence committee. today's testimony will be before the judiciary committee.

cnn's sara murray is live on capitol hill. so what do we know, first, about the meeting yesterday and what should we expect to hear today? >> reporter: well, john durham doing double duty on capitol hill this week. one of the things he focused on with the husband intelligence committee are changes he believes. be made at the fbi. that's notable because he omitted a lot of those recommendations from the report he put out publicly. the other thing is that the house intelligence committee tried to approach this in a bipartisan basis. again it was behind closed doors. t met in a secure room at the u.s. capitol. take a listen to what they had to say after they emerged from hearing john durham yesterday. >> i don't think anybody on our committee is completely satisfied with the reforms that the fbi has undertaken. it's a great start. they are responding some of the issues and problems that are identified in the durham report around some of the issues and

angst that members of congress have. >> there are all kinds of things we need to, i think, redouble our efforts. if it's not depoliticizing, at least making sure that the fbi acts in such a manner that americans can't point to their activities and say that's clearly political. we have a long way to go on that. >> the fbi said they made a number of changes in the wake of the justice department inspector general looking at many of these same issues but it's notable to see the republican and democrats talking about further changes that could be made. i think what we are going to see in front of the house judiciary committee is much more of a spectacle today. this is going to be a partisan scene with john durham appearing before jim jordan who is of course the republican head of the house judiciary committee. when i talked to jordan yesterday and asked him what he wanted to cover with ocdurham, wants to relitigate the russia investigation, cover that the dons yay is nonsense and a defense of donald trump from republicans on this committee today. >> we will look forward to that. thanks so much.

of investigations into supreme court justice samuel alito. a report now that in 2008 alito went on a luxury fishing trip to alaska with paul singer who described as a hedge fund billionaire who repeatedly asked the supreme court to trul in his favor in high-stakes business disputes. hours before the piece was published alito wrote a rebuttal in the "wall street journal" saying the charges are not valid. so what does this reporting from propublica first say? >> well, right. we have another justice here accused of skirting ethics rules and it is so unusual that

justice samuel alito actually responded in "the wall street journal" before it was published. first of all, the issues at play here, that in 2008 justice samuel alito, he took a ride on a private jet given to him by paul singer, this gop player, he is a billionaire. it was to go on this luxury fishing trip. and critically justice alito never disclosed that trip on his annual financial disclosure forms. that raises big questions for ethics experts. it raises flags because they said, look, it is worth thousands of dollars. it exceeds the gift limits, they say. but if it sounds familiar, remember we had a similar story with justice clarence thomas and justice clarence thomas said, like alito is saying here, that the gift rules at the time didn't require a disclosure like this on a private jet for a social trip.

that's point number one. but secondly, we know that an entity related to singer and his hedge fund later had several cases that came before the supreme court in a long running dispute with original teen a, and one that led to an opinion where alito was in the majority and alito never recused from that case. and he said in "the wall street journal," look, my clerks and i, we went through this dispute. we didn't see any names like paul singer that might have flagged it. so it wasn't our fault. we went through it. but this was an entity related to singer and his name wasn't there. so you have here alito saying that neither the private jet trip or the failure to recuse was problematic for him. >> the petitioner in that case, you would have to look it up to see the relationship to singer being his fund. propublica says that this violates a federal law.

that's quite an accusation. what is alito saying about that? >> alito says, look, at the time the gift disclosure did not cover private jets for social trips. and that has been an issue in the clarence thomas case because the administrative office of u.s. courts came out and clarified and said, well, now it does. but that's the big question here. ethics people are really raising that flag. of course, poppy, it is so unheard of to have a justice of the supreme court pen a "wall street journal" article defending himself even before propublica published it. propublica went the supreme court said, we are working on this story, we'd like comment and they got no comment. before they knew it, alito had gone forward. he had written this unusual op-ed defending himself with his own byline. >> thanks so much.

>> thank you. federal judge has overturned a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth in arkansas. in an 8 #-page ruling, the judge said that that law violated the plaintiff's right to due process and equal protection under the constitution. here is part of his opinion. quote, rather than protecting children or safeguarding medical ethics, the evidence showed that the prohibited medical care improves the mental health and well being of patients and that by prohibiting it the state undermines the interest it claims claims to be advancing, closed quote. that would have prevented medical treatment options for trans youth, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy. it's been over a month since the u.s. was bracing for a surge of migrants when the pandemic-era immigration policy known as title 42 came to an end. but in the weeks since the flow of migrants has slowed into the u.s. instead, they are flooding into mexico, but still hoping for

u.s. asylum. cnn's david culver spoke with many of them. >> reporter: on sidewalks in el paso that last month were covered with migrants, today only a handful camp out. but travel more than five money miles south into places like mexico city and the numbers are rapidly rising. overwhelming for the catholic nuns who run this shelter. sister maria silva says at night every aspect of the shelter floor is -- [ speaking non-english ]. >> reporter: inside and outside covered with the thin mattresses you see stacked around us. wow. mexico city, which is very far from the border, as she sees, has now become a border town but in the center of mexico. >> reporter: the migrants here spend their mornings trying to get an appointment with a u.s. asylum officer using the cbp 1

app. in a confirmed date, nearly impossible for some. you can tell it's crushing here. i said what are you going to? they said wait. maria jose camacho and her husband from venezuela arrived two weeks ago in mexico with their 4-year-old daughter. living here for the past several days. they feel like after title 42 expired, it's now much more difficult to try to cross. title 42, the pandemic-era immigration policy, allowed u.s. officials to immediately expel migrants who crossed illegally without processing their claims for asylum. those same migrants would often try and try again until they got in. now title 8 back in full effect. sure, it gives migrants the right to claim asylum, but those who fail to qualify risk being banned from entering the u.s. for at least five years.

the result? migrants flooding into mexico where they then wait to figure out how they can get into the u.s. you can see encampments have already taken up most of this little square here. you can see along this street you've got an art gallery, a nice restaurant. but then just turn the corner here and look down this sidewalk. you can see tents and families who have been set up for days and weeks with nowhere else to go at this point. we drive an hour outside mexico city where a government-run shelter is set up to handle the overflow. officials tell us most here from haiti. makeshift medical stations. this little girl complaining of a sore throat. her dad says she has not wanted to eat in five days. they pass the time doing chores and playing sports. their cell phones sit in a web

of chargers. battery power fuels their chances of getting an online appointment. so you can see these folks will be boarding the bus. they are meeting with mexican authorities and get paperwork that allows them asylum in mexico. they are trying to buy time to continue on their journey to get closer to the u.s. southern border, get an appointment with a u.s. asylum officer, and they hope enter the u.s. legally. since title 42 expired, migrant crossings are down for now at least. we visited eagle pass, texas. main street quiet. but texas congressman tony gonzalez warns what we saw building up in mexico will push north. >> so it's almost a calm. i say calm. there is 800 apprehensions a day just in the del rio sector. on the other side, on the mexico side, it's just building up. the cartel will adapt and then that will be the next thing they send over.

>> reporter: u.s. border officials warn as more migrants fail to qualify for asylum or grow frustrated waiting, they are turning to cartel-controlled smugglers to get across. the congressman proposing a bipartisan approach to counter that. >> so i am of the mindset, stop sending them down that route. work visas make sense to me. remove the politics in it. remove the have access to vote or access to social services and say do you want to have a job? we have a job for you. link up. >> reporter: back in mexico city, we find maria hose sfwla and their daughter walking a busy commercial street carrying a sign and candies. >> we are venezuelan migrant family and we are asking for your support. >> reporter: i think the biggest concern when you look at this right now, poppy and victor, is that you have these mexican cartel been backed smugglers

that see this as potential business. u.s. officials have warned they have seen cases of migrants following those smugglers into the pacific ocean, swimming into california in the middle of the night. that shows you how desperate and dangerous these journeys are becoming. >> indeed it does. fascinating reporting, david. thank you so much. >> always taking us to the middle of where it's happening. now a live look at newfoundland. crews are hoping that banging sound actually lead to a rescue. why many are wondering what the passengers onboard are going through right now. we will get some expert insight ahead. new revelations into cnn about the man accused of murdering four university of idaho students last fall.

he goes to trial in october. jean has been following this story from the beginning as they were looking for a suspect. good morning. what do we know? >> this is a 33-page document. it just came out. and the headline really from this document is that after bryan kohberger was, obviously, arrested they did a dna swab in his mouth to get his dna and that dna according to this document is a statistical match to that unknown dna on the knife sheath. now, this document came about because the defense had filed a motion for discovery. they wanted all the information they could find, which is definitely reasonable on the dna, the forensic testing everything they could find. this in a sense is responding to all of that. now another headline is the first time we are hearing in writing and we confirmed this through our sources on the very first day when he was arrested, that the fbi took that unknown

dna on the knife sheath originally to a public genealogy database and they looked at any matches, even remote of any dna that matched even in slight part to that unknown dna along with old-fashioned investigative work of geography, who would be in that northeast area of the united states, and they told local authorities kohberger is the person you need to look at. and it went on from there. and then the state authorities took it from there, along with the fbi. but you know the irony in all of this is there is a gag order because the judge and the attorneys do not want to taint the jury pool. but with this information that was thrown into this legal document, the prosecution and many would say is a huge development in this case. >> certainly. >> and we don't have a response from the defense at all, if they do respond, because, remember, there is a gag order. >> we appreciate the reporting.

thank you. new developments this morning in the desperate search for the missing submersible that disappeared on its way to the site of that titanic wreckage. crews searching for the titan submersible heard banging sounds picked up by sonar devices according to an internal government memo. 24 hours of breathable air left for the five people onboard, the sounds offer a spark of hope in this massive search operation. joining us now world-renowned explorer and air cha man of an environmental non-profit the solar impulse foundation, dr. bertrand picard, the son of swiss oceanographer jacques picard who, among many, many accomplishments, invented the first submarine to carry tourists. so you are the right person to speak with about this. thanks for your time. first, when you heard the news of the banging sounds and the

30-minute intervals, what does that tell you. do you have as much hope as so many people do? >> well, we always like to have hope and you know my father built five submarines in total, including the one he took to the bottom of the mariana trench in 1960, the deepest spot on earth. as a child i was looking at him going diving and he made more than 2,000 dives. i was always afraid that he would not come back. so he was always explaining to me all the safety measures that have to be implemented to have a safe dive. and for this, of course, it comes all to my mind when i am looking at this problem today with the titan submersible. the first thing is, when you go down, if you lose communication, you come back up immediately. if you have the technical problem, you have ultimately the

safety ballast, the weight that has been dropped so the submarine comes back to the surface immediately. and this is what makes me really worry about the situation of the titan submersible is that the contact was lost during the dive, before it touched the bottom, and the submersible did not come up automatically to the surface. and this is something really worrying. it's not like if it's disappeared on the bottom because on the bottom it can be stuck in a rope, in a cable, whatever, and can be rescued by another submarine. in this case, i am really afraid. >> and what makes you so afraid that it got stuck somewhere in the middle? we understand there are seven different ways that this sub could have resurfaced beyond even dropping ballasts, as you mentioned. what makes you so concerned that it's stuck in the middle somewhere? >> i don't think it's stuck in the middle. i think something really bad happened on the technical side and it probably sunk to the

bottom and in this case it cannot go back by itself. so was there a problem with the porthole? was it a problem with the pressure? was it a problem with a valve? the submersible doesn't go back to the surface on its own, it's really that there is a deep problem. now, the hope is that it's only a technical problem. the submersible is on the bottom, 4,000 meters. people are still alive. and then they can get rescued by another submarine. but it doesn't appear to be so good. i am really afraid. if it was my father's situation, i would really be worried. but on the other side, my father always had all the systems to surface automatically if there was a problem. >> bertrand, if they find it, and again there are 24 hours left, estimate, of breathable air, what's your degree of confidence that they will be able to pull to the surface in time to open the vessel?

>> in this case, they need another submersible. i don't see how they can bring cable this deep with a robot. they need another submersible with an artificial arm that can tie the submarine to the other one and then they would surface together. that would be my hope. and i remember my father telling me that he always had enough oxygen onboard as a reserve to be able to wait for another submersible to be transported maybe air or by truck to arrive to the spot, dive and rescue him. so this is the only thing we can hope. but the situation is really worrying. it's maybe a big problem on the way down and in this case the submersible is maybe in several pieces. it may have imploded. >> dr. picard, thank you for
