this morning it's a race against time to rescue the five men on the missing submersible somewhere in the north atlantic as oxygen on the vehicle is quickly running out. we just learned a remote vehicle is on the ocean floor looking for any signs. the latest next. a big morning at the white house. president biden rolling out the red carpet for india's prime minister. the tour of washington includes a state dinner and is also facing criticism from the president's own party. a deadly tornado tears through texas bringing devastating winds, rain, and hail. looking at the devastation as the threat for severe storms continues. these major developing stories and more coming in right here to cnn "news central." ♪ happening right now, the extensive search in the north atlantic ocean is growing even

more urgent as experts believe the missing titan submersible is nearly or may be already out of oxygen. several vessels are now playing a major role in the search including coast guard and research vessels. a canadian navy defense ship andand roving operating vehicles. one has now reached the floor. there were concerns with the ocean gate sub, including concerns about the thickness of the submersible's haul and battery issues. one travel firm accused ocean gate of not having a seaworthy vessel. all of this comes as a former subcontractor who worked with the company said the features were low tech design, saying they used off the shelf items to cut down on research and

development and costs. and says the design choices were considered controversial at the time it was built. ocean gate ceo and pilot stockton rush said i had broken rules but to build the now missing submersible. miguel marquez is in newfoundland. what are you learning about the search this morning? if we know there's a vessel on the sea floor. >> reporter: yeah, significant that they're down there. that will help them get eyes on the sea floor but it is pitch black down there. there is no ping, no beacon coming from the sub itself, the titan sub itself. i spoke to one person who had done that dive said there is a beacon external to the sub but it apparently is not working. the other way they send emergency communications is from the sub itself but it appears all coms are down on that sub. so the only way they're going to

find it is the banging or the noise individuals inside, if they're alive, may be making or to get a visual sense of it. that means getting subs down approximately to where they believe it would have descended once it lost pour -- or lost contact an hour and 45 minutes into the dive they were doing. there's a second sub, a french sub, r.o.v. as well, a remote operated vehicle, that can reach those depths. that entered the water in the last few hours, takes about eight hours to get to the depth. they would likely establish a grid pattern on the sea floor trying to figure out where exactly that sub is. the other thing that's happening, the ship behind me, the atlantic king fisher is, we understand, meant to take the salvage gear sitting at the airport, the st. john's airport, this navy salvage gear that can tow things from the bottom of the ocean at great depths,

graer greater than we're talking about here today, that will make its way to this vessel and it should head to the search area and that should be there in the next 24 hours or so. the air is great concern to everybody. the 96 hours they talked about has elapsed at this point but people who know them, say his first thing from the first minute would be conserve oxygen. stay calm, sleep, search and rescue treating this as a search and rescue. they are going to assume they are alive until they can say otherwise. sara. >> great reporting out there. thank you. also new this morning an astronaut and acquaintance of two of the people on board the titan is hoping for a miracle he says he himself had signed on

for trips on that titan twice before but both were ultimately canceled. listen to this. >> yes, i still have hope. i remain optimistic, positive, and hoping for a miracle here. at least until it's proven otherwise. i know that the adventurers on board are very experienced so they would know what it means to slow down, take it easy and use as little oxygen as possible. and therefore, extend the potential timeline as much as possible. if you're stuck down there you want to be with someone who knows how it operates, having stockton as the pilot, knowing the ins and outs of how the submersible works is good. both hamish and stockton are accomplished adventurers. hamish is an accomplished

aviator, diving a lot before, and just a really nice guy. therefore, he's -- and he's also very accomplished businessman. he would know to keep his cool. but you can only imagine how stressful and difficult and mentally challenging it must be to sit there in that can far down underneath the water. it must be very terrifying. this particular submersible has done a lot of dives in the caribbean and also during the other seasons it has been up and down to the titanic. if these banging sounds that we've been hearing come from the submersible, which i believe is the case, then that means it hasn't imploded and therefore there hasn't been a structural fault with it but just a mechanical fault that makes them unable to come back up to the surface. >> it's important to hear from all of these people with any of this experience, sara. and also, a good point, if you

are going to be in a crisis situation like they may be down there, no better people than you want to be stuck with than the ceo of the people who stuck the vessel and people who are so experienced in these situations. >> you have the owner and two people on there as basically tourists. it did strike me they're in this tin cannot middle of the ocean. that's the size of it when you compare it to how big the ocean is. >> absolutely. >> i want to give you a look at the typical voyage. these are the explorers missing, the five people on the titan submersible. you can only spend about ten to 11 hours on the sub during the trek to the titan. this animation shows how it should go, a two hour journey to the ocean floor, reaching a depth of 12,000 feet. at that depth they're only able

to stay in tuch via short text messages. once the sub reaches the bottom people have four hours to survey the ship wreck followed by two hours back to the surface. we know the mission did not go as planned. on sunday the titan lost all communication with the surface ship. it's not clear what depth the titan had reached. let's look at what is inside this submersible. it's 22 feet long, roughly the size of a mini van so it can hold up to five people. you see them in there. the vessel is made of carbon fiber and titanium to withstand pressure at those depths. there is a small toilet but there aren't any seats. i want to give you a view if you were inside from ocean gate. you can see there's hardly any room for people to stretch out and all five people sit cross

legged to conserve space and the coast forward said they have a limited ration of food and water because they're only supposed to be there for 11 hours. this is the outside of the submersible and running out of the oxygen very, very quickly they're also breathing out carbon dioxide. here's how one royal navy diver described the problem. >> you need some form of capability to extract that carbon dioxide from the atmosphere otherwise you get a carbon dioxide buildup and that's the thing that takes life. so on submarines that i've operated on, there's carbon dioxide absorption units that deal with this. and the submersible, i couldn't see anything major enough to deal with that. >> this mini van sized vessel is battery powered but dealing with some serious temperature

concerns. it's barely above freezing right here on the ocean floor. roughly 33 degrees which could lead to hypothermia because there is no heating inside the vessel. a visit to the titanic is like visiting another planet someone said. >> here's how the search for them on that very, very big planet. joining us with more on the search effort is tim taylor. tim, it's good to have you back on as we talk about what we're dealing with here. the coast guard this morning said a remote operated vehicle, r.o.v. has reached the ocean floor and began searching for the titan. what does this offer? >> well, it's the first time in four days that -- or since this happened that they've actually been on the bottom looking which is where they should have been four days ago.

this should have been a redundant vehicle on board the ship, i believe. i asked the question, we carry on any vessel we work off of? the ability to rescue or gear, not even people. so i'm -- it's -- it's -- it needs to be -- they need to be on the bottom right now with that r.o.v. searching as much as they can. it's a debris field. so they're looking for an item that's the size of probably a lot of pieces sitting on the bottom. so they have to put the time in as fast as they can. >> absolutely. can't overstate how fast they need to be moving at this point, four days in. there's another r.o.v. that we're told -- that we've learned is on the way. it's on a french ship. i've been reading about the ma jell lan it's unique in many regards but one regard specifically this was the r.o.v.

used to map the entire titanic site. does that make a difference in what they're dealing with here? >> well, of course. there are different classes of r.o.v.s, there are working class and inspection class. inspections are cameras, maybe a little bit of manipulate resig. working class can go down, turn, they have different payloads to attach to the system. used in deep water oil and gas. they go down and weld and twist wrenches and valves and things of that nature. a much heavier machine probably running off a ship that can stay right over the site with thrusters and not move and allow the vehicle to be lowered down to the bottom on a giant steel cable, and from there it drives around on the tether.

but it has the ability to perform working tasks and that may be needed. >> good point. i want to play for you the assessment from the chair of the titanic society, who spoke with my colleague, christine romans earlier this morning. >> the most frustrating thing is it took 73 years to find the wreck of titanic, even the bow section at over 400 feet in size. this little submersible is only 5% size of that. and the chances of finding her in an area the size of the state of connecticut which is about five times london here in the uk, slim at best. >> is that where you put the chances on this as the search continues, tim? >> i don't. i think we are focused on what

we need to be focused on. yes, the search area if they're floating is the size of new england or however you want to put it. that's natural as search areas -- as time goes on, search areas get larger. but more than likely if there's a failure of this nature at depth, that submersible is going to be somewhere near that area. may have drifted down a little bit, may have been buoyant, could have caught on the current but it won't move that much. they have limited resources and time, that's where i'd be. i don't think they're looking across the whole two states worth of area. but it's still a monumental task. they have to cover a lot of ground and still have to, you know, work in a field of wreckage that gives them multiple targets. if they were out in the sand some place they could run sonar

around and pick up a target and run to it. they're going to have multiple targets. hopefully they have the titanic mapped and the operators know where they are and what they're looking for so they could eliminate some with the advanced data we have on the wreck site. it's probably the most mapped wreck site in the world. >> that's bringing me back to conversations you and i had years ago, one of the complicating factors in the southern indian ocean, that was part of the ocean that had not been mapped and this is the opposite, maybe the most mapped area, which i find fascinating. great to see you again, tim. i appreciate it. extreme weather, a tornado rips through parts of texas destroying nearly an entire town. four people are dead and several others are injured there. the latest on recovery efforts. plus new information jack

moving on this case. they're handing over the evidence they gathered. at this point it's the unclassified evidence. not the classified stuff charged in the retention count against donald trump, the serious charges of handling the national security recordings but it's recorded interviews, plural, that trump gave to people, non-government interviews. interviews he was given with his consent that were being recorded including the moment in bedminster in july of 2021 when he had the iran document and was talking about it to others in the room. we also are knowing from the court filing that the things that his team is getting will show who the witnesses are in this case. who has testified to the grand jury. they'll get grand jury transcripts. eventually they'll be getting information about who has immunity deals who's been cooperating. they also now have full extent of his go defendant's walt

structures in this town are down to piles of rubble. you see an rv turned on its side. now law enforcement and crews from as far as wichita falls, texas and dallas have been responding to help and assist. even though officials say everyone is accounted for in this small town. the search continues because officials say they're worried that someone passing through the town could have been caught in the twister. take a listen. >> we've accounted for all the town folks did we have anyone passing through when the storm hit? that's what we're checking to make sure everything is accounted for and clear before we can move on from recovery and to rebuild. >> now, kate, this was one of about 10 tornados in the region. and right now there are more than 300,000 people without power in the states of texas, oklahoma, and louisiana. and there's more severe weather

on the surface they have ships up there, they have a squadron of airplanes working above scanning surfaces for any sign it may have come up to the surface and using sonar for any signs below the surface. and deeper down technology able to lower into the water and scan more deeply for any indication of what is there. some of these like side scan sonar are capable of mapping the entire ocean floor looking for any anomalies that should say look there and there. and then these vehicles that are robotic that can be lower today bottom there. these are highly advanced pieces of technology which cannot only go down and help look for this submersible, but if they find it, would be capable of going over and cutting it lose from

anything that might be holding it, pulling it free, attaching a cable to it to pull it back to the surface. why do i say in theory they have all they need? because the one thing they really need right now, sara, is more time. every single thing we're describing here takes time to get into position, to rig up, to deploy and then deploy it and let it do its work. some of the searches on the bottom, yes, they won't try to search everything, narrow it down to the likely space. if you had your own drone and were told search new york city for a car, it would create time. >> you can't create time and right now they can't create more oxygen. those things are crucial in trying to save the people on the

vessel. tom foreman, thanks so much. in the next two hours the leaders of two of the largest democracies will be meeting. prime minister modi is highly popular in india but denied entry into the united states in 2005 for his role in anti-muslim violence that killed more than a thousand people in india. up until today president biden has hosted two other state visits one for the french president and the other south korea. biden sees india as the most important strategic partner for the united states in the 21st century. what is the white house hoping to get out of the visit, arlette? >> reporter: president biden is navigating a fraught situation. there are concerns over the prime minister's human rights record as well as this drift towards authoritarianism seen in

his government. on the other hand, the president and white house view india as a key strategic partner in their overall asia policy. especially when you think about russia and china and the influence that they have had in the region. so that is why the white house says the president has invited modi here to the white house for the state visit, even as he is facing criticism for hosting such a lavish affair for modi. it's about to kick off in 30 minutes when modi arrives there. they will have oval office meetings and a state dinner this evening. they're expected to make key announcements in defense and technology areas, that includes india purchasing drones and the agreement to have g.e. manufacturer engines for military aircraft in india. and there are questions when it comes to visas and semiconductor

manufacturer. but when the two men stand before the press to take questions is a key moment. we did not know until yesterday if that would happen. there were delegate negotiations with indian officials balking at a press conference. but they will have one. >> modi doesn't meet with the press in india. so that's a significant moment. it will all be starting, as you said, in about 30 minutes as the president will be welcoming modi to the white house. they are rolling out the red carpet, literally, for the indian leader today and throughout the day. he's also going to be meeting with congress, giving a speech to congress at some point during his visit. great to see you, arlette. thank you. >> shows how important the relationship is. american journalist evan gesh koe vich appears in a

to lead to this assessment? >> reporter: kate, as you know, this counter offensive highly anticipated, build up to it over weeks and months and a lot of western equipment headed ukraine's way to give it what it needed. but early on, at least, the expectations not being met really on any front in the combination of things, ukrainian forces having trouble breaching russian defenses and russian forces proving more competent in many ways than expected. what the western assessments are seeing is as ukrainians try to breach the russian lines they're running into with mine fields and russian forces have had success using missiles against ukrainian armored columns and doing better with coordinating with air power something that u.s. officials, western officials have not seen early in the campaign. it is early, western officials

remain optimistic going forward but in the early stages they're not making the progress that was expected. >> i want to ask you if you're getting a sense from your sources of kind of how long they give before they determine if this counter offensive is turning out to look like a success or something less than that? >> yeah. certainly more time. it is early stages. and the expectation going in was this was not going to take place over days, but weeks and months. and that still holds. i'm told even for a preliminary assessment for the success of the counteroffensive they're going to wait until next month to make those judgments. just as russian forces are adapting to ukrainian forces ukrainian forces have been a adapting, even in the early stages, to russia defenses. doing more dismounts, in other words getting on it of armored vehicles. and having more success shooting

down russian aircraft, which is good because russia has an air advantage and they're using it to great effect. and you and i talked about this too in all circumstances defending force has advantages, russia has had weak eks and mon to build up multiple lines of defenses here. it's been a long hard fight with losses on both sides. >> ukraine has already shown to be very quickly adaptable to the conditions they've been facing. we'll see what happens in the coming days and weeks and months. good to see you, jim. speaking of russia, a russian court rejected an appeal from "the wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich to end his pretrial detention. he appeared behind a glass wall in a moscow courtroom, you can see him there. he'll remain locked up until at least august 30th.

he faces charges of espionage, something he denies and "the wall street journal" calls ridiculous. can you give us a accepts of how evan is holding up and how this played out in court? >> reporter: a couple of different assessments on that. there was a cnn crew in the courtroom there able to see him, get close to him, obviously behind the glass wall. they said he seemed a bit agitated, nervous, the u.s. ambassador was able to enter the courtroom today she said he was showing remarkable resiliency, his parents were able to speak to him during a break in the courtroom sessions. perhaps that lifted his spirits a bit. but the reality here is that the u.s. is not getting the access it wants, the ambassador said three times russia has knocked back requests for consular access to evan. and he, to the ambassador said when she came out of the courtroom, she continues to be

wrongfully held. just a journalist, just doing his job. >> the charges against him are baseless. he is an innocent journalist, who was carrying out journalistic activities, and has been wrongfully detained. such hostage diplomacy is unacceptable. and we call on the russian federation to release him, as well as paul whelan, another u.s. citizen who has been wrongfully detained. and we call for that release to occur immediately. >> and i think perhaps the day's proceedings were summed up by "the wall street journal," who said this was not unexpected, the outcome but it is outrageous. he is a journalist and he was practicing journalism not espionage. trumped up charges. >> you look at the pictures of him, you can see he's tired but i did notice a smile there, so

he's trying to get through this as best he can. nic robertson, thank you so much for your reporting. coming up for us, high-tech equipment and specially trained medical crews headed to join the search for the missing sub in the north atlantic. also hearing from a former subcontractor who helped build the titan who said some industry experts were concerned about its construction at the time. we'll be right back. my name is joshua florence, and one thing i learned beining a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a te behind you that can help you. not havingo worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as besas it can be for everybody.

more on this, and you spoke with the subcontractor and why does he believe that they were working so quickly on this, and what kind of impact that could have had? >> well, kate, doug virnig said that he understood that ceos of the oceangate's mission was to create a number of these lightweight submersibles to create the ocean's floor for researchers and adventure tourism was never the goal, be tow take people down to the "titanic" was a high-ticket item to come down to fund the vision and innovate, but as they were trying to develop quickly, there were some controversial decisions made and you heard him talk about the carbon fiber hull and the decision to do that and also talking about the fact that they did not have a conning tow wer which would have allowed people to get in and out of the submersible or open to hatch to

allow oxygen in if the submersible was about to reach the surface, and he spoke about the carbon fiber decision, and take a listen. >> they created a pressure hull and took it to woods hole institute and subjected it to the pressures at the depth where "titanic" is, and it passed, but then the question is, well, if you do that repeatedly, then what happens. so these are the sorts of questions that if you have a long research and development program, you start answering. but if you are really pushing the envelope, there is no time to be answering the questions, really in realtime. >> reporter: and i did ask him, kate, if he would go on the expedition down to the "titanic" himself, and he said he supports
