the, the, the, the we news line from berlin in the us prime minister, meet the press, and the why. and the ranger mode you're receiving the warm welcome from president vine on his 1st state visit. and a set to hold his 1st press conference in his 9 years as prime minister is due to address congress later today will bring you the latest from washington,

also coming up and us coast guard room for the free of the science of the titanic experts are evaluating what could be grim news as rescue teams increase efforts to locate the titan, the really it's good to have you with us and being prime minister in the render. moti is due to hold a press conference with us president joe biden earlier by and welcome to monique to the white house where the indian prime minister has agreed to take questions from reporters. for the 1st time since becoming head of government. now many years ago, the 2 leaders are expected to announce a number of defense and trade agreement. the less is corning, moti as an ally against china, the spine concerns over his governments. he rides records the now while we wait for

the joint press conference from you as part of the environment and in 5 and the starting monday to start and join in the studio via d w. steve international editor, richard walker. let's talk through this because it's quite remarkable. moody was banned from the west. some time ago, years ago before she became prime minister, now he was being received with pomp and circumstance. how do we got here? yeah, well i mean the, the, the us lifted that travel band on, on the rent from o d going to the us and when he became a prime minister almost 10 years ago now. but it's true that that band did come in place over a controversial incident in the states of goods or rock when the wrench promote the hailstorm, and he was chief minister of the state of goods. arrived during a time when they were riots where over a 1000 muslims lost their lives. and the accusation was that the, that he had kind of like stood buying allowed to use this writing between the

majority hindus against the muslims to take place. an indian, the supreme court panel did find in 2012 that they, they themselves, him for responsibility. but this has sent me a cloud that sort of hung over him for a long time. and, and, and yeah, of course, now we see a state this is, you know, a matter who's really arrived at the pinnacle of, of, of, of world affairs and very much being celebrations. i'd be watching some indian television just just, well, we've been watching things on the fold and, and, you know, promo the channels really holding this up as a, as an extraordinary day. you know, there was a lot of members of the indian diaspora in the garden just as they met earlier. you know, the price of jubilant atmosphere. so so, so you know that, that cost is very much be moved on from and did, you know, this relationship now is being driven much more by kind of a re, i'll pull it cheap, but the united states and india kind of realize that, especially if the united states really wants india to help it pushed back against

china, nation and russia as well. are we expecting to see some tough talks there? well, well, i mean, relations with russia suddenly a bit of a sticking point between to us in india. so right. india has a long standing relationship with russia's that goes back to the cold war. and russia is india's main weapon supply. um, so the indian military is very heavily dependent on weapons from russia. and of course, when you get to weapon systems, you will so need them to either munition for any service, for it, and parts force and so on. so, so it's very hard to kind of move on from that. the united states to me that we're seeing some deals are coming out of, of, of, of this visit. so united states is selling drugs to india. and i think what's, what's the most important deal is a visit deal between america as a general, electric and an indian company to produce jet engines for, for war planes in india together. and this will end, you're really ones from the united states, is, is the ability to help it build its own indigenous military, uh, industry, uh,

transfer technology and enable itself to, to stand more on his own 2 feet in military time. in washington, we are going to see, you know, when he, when he talks, he talks in one direction either directly to the indian people or addressing media . and he's being seen as something of a crew, the american spanish, to persuade him um, to allow questions, what, what we're hearing from the white house is that they will be say, one question from the traveling indian press. cool. and one question from from the white house press. so we're not talking a lot of questions. we go through the course, but aging here has no relation. you have pressed mean that that's less than you usually get. and we usually, and these kind of diplomatic settings you tend to get to questions for the hosts, press and 2 questions for the visiting press. so it's scaled back from that. but still, i mean, you know, there's a positive side here is, is potentially assessing a precedent. so when the render moody, you know, goes to other countries,

then they might be say, well, you to questions in the us. can we do that here as well? last time he came to gemini, a year ago, he lost in he refused to take questions while i felt a went along with that. and that says the president of its own, because just earlier this week its the chinese premier was his 1st visit abroad. no questions in that price conference either. so, and that cause quite an outcry here in germany. so, you know, if moody changes habits, let's see if that has any other alternative influence on all of us to achieve international editor, richard walker. thank you for the time being, we will give you close by for when this press conference actually starts. thank meanwhile, as a search for the missing titan submersible continues, the u. s. coast guard says debris has been found near the side of the titanic wreckage. the news comes after fears of the oxygen supply on board, the submersible would be exhausted. by this point, the titan russell disappeared on sunday off the canadian coast, while on

a dive to the side of the titanic ship wreck. there are 5 people on board, including the head of the company that designed and operates the sub international search teams in a race against time. hoops had been raised off to under will to sounds, were picked up on sooner equipment. but so far it's not being possible to pinpoint the vessels location. what's more, the 5 crew on board, left with 39 to 6 hours was of oxygen and spike uh, the 1st day. it was expected to have run out. this is still the search and rescue operation. you know, the, the estimate. so when the option runs out and more importantly, bust me, that carbon dioxide takes over. because if they've lost the power to they. so then coming up side, scrubbers are also styling. so the, there are a lot of things working against the people who signed the semester though. but i think, you know, who has to keep going. the area being searched is twice the size of the us state of

connecticut in voltage as deep as full styles and to meet his. it's a huge area of them to search. if we have a few months to do this, the outcome will be optimistic. we've only got a few hours and this is a big problem. now joined by dr. rob larder, he's a marine geophysicist with a british antarctic survey. he joins me from cambridge script to see. welcome back to the w. now the us coast guard has described the new fine as a debris field close to the titanic wreckage. can you walk us through what that means? exactly. and what happens now? well i, i think it means but one of the all right, face the pricing though? no, i understand because this too deep both are these are the say for the vitamins has observed some sort of dietary, but it's those very useful data style. the,

the us post, god has not been very forward with information like with our very few sleep during the course of this operation this, this is the one bits of news. they have both sides and there's, there's nothing, no detail about the extent of all here. that's really cool, is it that this could be the debris of the titan? i really have very simple to buy stuff on. i know, you know, there's, there's, that's great. um, yeah, i mean if, as, if they've been a catastrophic events, the stuff had imploded, which it could do under the immense pressure. that's that you have, you know, it's, it's one atmosphere for every 10 meters of water. so you're looking at $380.00 atmospheres that the price on it. so if a, if that's the best of a vehicle, develop a more then it's good catastrophically implode. so but

then it it. the other possibility is, or if this is very near the right, this could be some debris from the right. so i think we just have to wait and stay and more innovation is necessary. and i'm sure that people are evaluate the people who have collect to the states or evaluating isn't trying to work out what it is, how long will it take to work out what it is? so because there are many people anxious to know what happened there. yeah, um i think that's, that's absolutely impossible for me to say uh, you know, it really depends on what they have observed and it is, it is the calling to see if that free what you might expect. is there any anything on it that they might recognize? yeah, i mean, this is only, these are questions you kindly asked or if you've seen presumably what this thing

is they, they have visual imagery. and we heard of there in the report that the area that is being searched is huge. now this field of debris has been found pretty much right next to the titanic wreckage. why then would it take so long to find to think, cause that was presumably were the cruise we're looking all along as well. they're all search max available that shows i was searching a huge area and that's probably because it was on certain whether the submersible comes to the surface or if it was placing some work mid was it that in which case the ocean currents could have in several days could have taken it far away from the, the points of las concepts. and again, as, as i said, if, if we're talking about debris that's very close to the right then something that

needs to be eliminated as this is this a just debris that's, that's actually come from the wreckage. yeah. dr. rob lauder marine geophysicist with a british and artic survey. thanks so much. thank you. let us know, look at some more stories making headlines around the world today. and gas has caused a massive explosion at a restaurant in the north western china needs to be a huge one. police say 31. people have been killed and several others injured. the blast happened as people were gathering on the eve of a long holiday weekend. i'm off scout court has rejected a fresh appeal by us journalist oven garbage against his ongoing detention. the wall street journal reporter was arrested in march on charges of spying. but no date has yet been set for his trial, us as he's being wrongfully detained and is demanding his release. russia

says ukrainian missiles has struck a bridge, linking the affair, san range, and with crimea. the bridge is used by the russian military to move between the peninsula and parts of southern ukraine. under his control, russian officials said the bridge is damaged but that there are no casualties or the solution. and to alleviate the strain on ukrainian hospitals, the europe in union has been coordinating evacuation of sick and wounded people to hospitals across europe. so far more than 2200 patients were brought to european countries for treatment. many of them passed through and evacuation hub and poland due to the closure of you bringing the air space, the polars airport, and joshua serves as the closest location from which they can be air lifted save. i've seen one of the reports arrived in safety. the sick and wounded from ukraine brought to the medical evacuation hub international, poland. many of them a wounded soldiers,

like under the logic of who lost one of his hands in a rush and the sold on his units positions. or what i would do when you head on the coordinated with shows that me, you all know it was flying in my direction and i saw it when it was already close and easy. i could only extend my hand and deflect the grenade, but my hand was thrown off 0 while little. the hop is located just 70 kilometers away from the ukranian buddha. from head patients lifted to hospitals across europe, ukrainian medics bring them by ambulance across the border. is on us, that would be these things. one of the most important places we can bring patients to now it's extremely important for ukraine and we are very grateful to our opponents colleagues and everyone who participated in organizing this facility for the home use of sofa ava. 600 people have passed through the hub on the way to receiving treatment. the doctors from the po to send to the international aid, attend to patients with diverse needs. they have me on that some. on the one hand,

we have trauma patients of about as soldiers. most of them are very young. some have only recently become adults schedule. on the other hand, there are civilians who cannot receive medical assistance in ukraine. particularly patients with cancer will hear from people that seem to have on the on color because let me sold, you enter, they've logical is set to receive the prosthesis in spain. that's not a very happy. i never thought that i would be all for the 1st basis as as the ukranian medics return to that country. and really it's already contemplate.
