coast of grace are still waiting for answers about what happened to their loved ones. and what the roll the coast guard played. as the disaster unfolded. and then v as prime minister hills ties with the united states during a lavish stage visit the rental moody was given the rare honor of addressing a joint meeting of congress. but his trip is not without controversy. the i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program, the u. s coast guard says that all 5 people on board, the missing titan submersible, died after a catastrophic implosion. they said pieces of the sub had been found on the ocean floor around 500 meters from the rack of the titanic. it has emerged at the u. s. navy had already reported, sounds consistent with an employer sion on sunday. it's not clear why this
9:02 am
information is only coming to light now. after days of age and searching rescue if it's for the titan took a grim to the us coast. got along with canadian british and french teams scale with 20000 square kilometers. they are extensive search. i'm covering pieces of the sub gas it on the ocean floor. and the r o v are remote operated vehicle. from the vessel horizon, our tech discovered this hail count of the titans of nurse of all approximately 1600 feet from the valve of guitar. tanner, on extreme prussia appears to have crushed the 6 and a half minutes of vsl killing. the 5 main on board included the pilot who was
9:03 am
also the c e o of the company leaving the position ocean gate. the company was on its food trip to explore the titanic despite the various safety concerns about its expeditions to the deep sea rate. it's just, it's just for tragic and a terrific and it's unnecessary. and by the way, it's not lost on me is somebody who's studied the, the meaning of titanic it's, it's greater meaning to us, you know, historically in society that it's about warnings that were ignored. that ships line at the bottom of the ocean, not because of the nature of its steel or the nature of its compartments, but just because of bad semen shipped, the company released a statement, expressing condolences for the families of those killed. the passengers included a french submarine expected
9:04 am
a british billionaire to and the pakistani british business tycoon and has some risk is couldn't consume with the bodies of those killed could be recovered. so this is a incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor. and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel. and so we'll continue to work and continue to uh, search the area down there. but i don't have an answer for a prospect at this time and would have brought yvonne. so we'll keep searching for clues about what happened to the tyson. it's remains now lying alongside the rick, it's fish out to explore on the atlantic ocean floor. and from where, let's bring in data, the science journalist out of courthouse joining us for a bit of insight in what happened to the titan. so,
9:05 am
and we're hearing here about the problems with the pressure chamber that there seems to be this implosion that happened. what cost, what exactly does that mean in practical terms? well, yeah, the, this tied in the piece to employ to do, to this catastrophic loss of the pressure chemba. we have to imagine that as violent as an explosion because of the immense pressure we have under see. so that's, remember we talking about a very hostile environment to, you know, made for humans and start it's cold. and there are norm is forces at work and at the depths where the debris was found. so around 4 kilometers this, the pressure is around $400.00 times the pressure on land that's about the same as having $35.00 and a fence on your shoulders. well, i mean, we don't know a lot at this point. we don't know about the timeline, but you know, the initial indications that, that we are indeed getting. does it seem as if there was any hope for the 5 who were on board? well, that's really important. distressed, you're the investigations on just about to start. it's very early days and we have
9:06 am
to wait for any information that's coming in over the next couple of hours, days, weeks, months. so that's right now, it seems very likely that the implosion took place and that it took place very early. so the u. s. coast guard and the search team that they had deployed boyce to search for the missing vessel, and they did not detect any implosion. they deployed the boys shortly after the signal. the communication was lost. but we learned, however, quite recently the u. s. navy says it's record at the sound consistent with an implosion. and if there's an implosion really took place, the passengers would have been dead within many seconds. probably we heard there in the piece um, some concerns over safety of this vessel in particular. could this have been avoided, i mean, with, with, with those widely known about. mm hm. yeah. and it's always easy to pinpoint and hindsight,
9:07 am
but they were major concerns raised by some noticeable marine experts. so 1st, the design of the titan was unusual. so to say, most of the subs builds very key and this one was to shape to fit in 5 passengers because it was a tours and a expedition of the material was different. so it was made of carbon fibers and question has been raised about the reliability of this material on the deep, deep sea pressures and then the tides and had not been through any external independence certification process. these concerns were already raised in 2018, so it's very tragic to witness the loss of the 5 best and just 5 years later, some important perspective and a car house from detroit because science. thank you so much for bringing that insight. this and we're going to get more now we're going to by collin buckley, who is a remotely operated vehicle submersible pilot. he joins us from us low. we
9:08 am
understand that a remotely operated vehicle found this debris. how difficult do you think it was to find it? um i, they've been very lucky i really i think some background here i think what happened is they were there any of the see big when they got to be included to to find the deb refilled so compact that they must have been so close to the advisor, will it be 1st in the coverage that will be 500 meters away? i would have felt like what's left on the same day when it happened once. once they picked up some debris, they would have then run a good survey basically running lines in the same direction on the native checked the whole area. but again, find the data that was pretty good in searches like these uh, r o v as are said to be better than a vessel with a crew. why is that? well, that are these like, uh, your computer. you switch it on, you switch it off. uh you don't need any support for it. i think it says on the
9:09 am
deck of a vessel full days, weeks, even then go out and give me a joke. relatively they much cheaper to operate than any money that's old and obviously for 4000 because you've got a tons of letting anybody down there that connect effectively carry out the recovery. these are these, these days, adults with manipulators. and so much of the kit you can stop by and go grind this to them. the cuts is anything you want. so i go like so you can basically do anything that you would have been able to visually appealing to even though we understand that. um, our of us will also be involved in trying to find out why exactly this journey ended so tragically. does it mean that debris will need to be listed to the surface or could it all be done just with are of these operating on the ocean floor? you thank as i would suggest they, they will, they be able to bring a vessel on site with that great with affordable housing, me to why it and probably a basketball, the end of the photographs, everything on the sea,
9:10 am
but they'll be so much coverage on the video and at the camera, and then they'll collect the list every put in a box can bring it this out. there's quite another size i get that. that's what go ahead. okay. um there's been some speculation. some have talked about, you know, r o v is potentially a company vessels like this when they actually go on expeditions when they, when they go on missions, do you see any role for that in the future? i'm not really sure they didn't have that sort of back up already. it's listening to what everybody said over the last few hours that it does seem like they were going to have this thing spring. and that i, they were saying that it's 250000 pounds for the person, but they all show, well, if you hire a boat out, you're looking at 500000 for a day, for example, says a vessel. and so that's a, they were, they were running running that costs very low. i think if they do this again, they put, they have to expand that operation. so there's much more back up and also use beacons on the sub with thing up to date. so they can pinpoint it at any point the
9:11 am
time. okay, some important perspective. thank you so much for for your expertise, con buckley, a remotely operated vehicle some more. welcome to the violet. we appreciate it. stairs. some other stories, making headlines, muslim worshipers have begun to circle the cover in mecca, head of the official start of the annual hodge pilgrimage on monday. it is wholly of sight and is long standing at the center of mecca is grand mosque. this year's pilgrimage is set to be the biggest in 3 years. academics and mexico are calling for an investigation into the killing of research or an environmental a list of it all out of useful. earlier this month, he was attacked with an axe at an environmental education center. his colleagues say that killing appeared premeditated, and in retaliation for out of use those work,

9:13 am
relatives and loved ones of those who perished are still looking for answers. dw, max sandra and florian schmidt's reports. the kilometer in the southern california is now getting ready for the peak holiday season. a week ago, the town became the center of rescue efforts to one of the deadliest shipwrecks in the history of chris. today, almost everyone has left outside the port authority. we meet must mood and his friend. the egyptian man came from germany, searching for his brother. my name is vista, asked me a family member called me ahold of your brothers, dad. i said because it was the yes it was not ship and i think he's dead. i asked what happened to the bus you that he wasn't by himself. there were many people from our village with him. i stayed home for 2 days and then in germany i did everything i code on the list. one time it was broken done. i just couldn't this day. so i came here and i have another been here for the past 5 days or phone started. his
9:14 am
brother boarded the ship and libya together with 11 others from his village. all of them are missing. mark, which says that very little information is being given to family members. up to 750 people are believe to happen on this former fishing based on that said course for italy alleged people, smugglers in greece and abroad have already been arrested felony postcards, roland. all of this will have to be looked at as well. there are many questions trolling around the official report of what actually happened that the most serious of all or allegations. the greek or forties failed to act in time was the ship able to maneuver in the last hours before it sank. didn't attempt to buy the coast guard to tow it result in a cap sizing week after these questions still remain unanswered. we reached out to
9:15 am
the coast guard for clarification. our interview request was denied. as the greek authorities appear to try to control what is being reported. so to hear, if malika kept close to athens, where the survivors happened from the time of filming, many of them had completed the registration process and were able to exit the facility. we were told by the authorities that asylum seekers we recommended not to come out and talk to press by phone. we managed to get in touch with ali survivor from combined. syria. ma'am, we spent 5 days on the ship. on the 6th day during the night, we were told by another ship and then we capsized. oh, hello, pursue grandpa level. about 30 minutes later it goes, god came direct us to get them that has the best deal or they've got a new number them with little evidence available, it's difficult to establish what exactly happened and you say they do not want to rely on the investigation by the greek authorities alone,
9:16 am
the spitting manual match up is doing that, but we're demanding that this time the justice system properly investigates and finds who is responsible for monitoring should be established. and that should come from a difference and independence institution that the spectacle will not approach example. got you on excited, think don't let me send you more. deb hughes without transparency campaigners for your disasters like this will only keep happening with many more dying, etc. and germany's parliament is due to vote on new immigration reforms that would make it easier for skilled workers to come from abroad to work. experts say that germany has a massive shortage of skilled workers and needs hundreds of thousands work each year to fill the gaps. the plan which has already been approved by the coalition government, includes introducing a points based system for foreign workers. there will also be
9:17 am
a one year job seeker visa, available to people coming from outside the u. a course on and benjamin alvarez who read joins us now. from outside the german parliament. so what is the slow looking to change benjamin? from inside the parliament. we're right next to the plenary tomba, where this discussion is now taking place german into administer. nancy fees, address the lawmakers and said that it's the one of the biggest breaks to economic growth in germany. issue of fed to the shortage of skilled workers in bethlehem industry. and the labor it ministry is started with this discussion to make it easier for people a to come to this country and also give businesses and the, the, the insurance and the idea that they will also be able to have more skilled workers that come from outside of the european union to 1000000 skilled workers on needed in germany over the next 2 years. and, and nancy fees are already referred to some of the areas where these people are
9:18 am
needed when it comes to i t in schools, but also looking at ministry so. so people who i need it to your and now the big task after this discussion is to see how the bureaucratic process can be made more easy for all of those one o apply. but the law alone, it can't solve germany's problems kind of when it comes to immigration or that's right. and that's what critics from the position policies are also saying, they say that this law will not allow me to solve the problem was determine who has one of them is when it comes to the digital infrastructure. and of course, you also need more people who will then and refer to all of these new and cases that will be sent over via the consulate. so you need more people who will actually then be able to and look at all these, these applications. so we have the bureaucratic process and you will need more people to make this process even easy, of course, or is a language barrier. many people a often applying also to english and spanish speaking country that might be easier
9:19 am
for them. that is something and the other big problem, the bureaucratic and usually also frustrating process for those who are applying is that the university degree needs it to be recognized in germany. and that's also a step that this new law wants to go is that if this university degree is recognized the country of origin, it will make easier if they have also the work experience it to come to germane to work and help out other ways in which the government is trying to make immigration to the country easier. stillman labor minister, who had decided, has been on the shore. i'm offensive going and travelling around too many countries who was recently in brazil with german foreign minister on elena babel. key visited hospital visited and says that he wants to show that germany can be attractive. that's the idea that the german government wants it to send out. of course they are menu options and that's also what an expert says. if there's an i t specialist from pakistan from india applying for a visa in germany, and he needs a month to at least get an appointment to come here and detect. as of course he
9:20 am
will see if there are other options where he could work. so this is an idea, while the government is saying that this will be one of the most modern immigration laws, his skilled work has act. there has been cautious voice that has been criticism by the position party say that more is needed. one of them being the bureaucracy to make it easier to fulfill and to work on this visa applications. and but the other is also how the digital infrastructure will be improved to the number of people increases. and that's what we're expecting. if this law is passed, it should be easier for them also a due date for them, and the answer to those we're applying and not will leave them waiting for several months to know if they can actually even come to germany to work a skilled labor t w's, benjamin alvarez, goodbye. thank you. the us in india have held a new era in the countries relationship. you as president joe biden is hosting indian, a prime minister and
9:21 am
a rental mode for his 1st full safe visit to the united states. the 2 leaders say that their partnership will define the next century with washington viewing valley as a counterweight to china. but there's also been opposition to bodies trip over what critics call the repression of journalists and religious minorities. in india. the message was clear. it was a visits among friends indians, prime minister, and the run from id was greeted with applause. as he made his way through congress to full many address lawmakers for the 2nd time as indian lead done it all had jean scenes. i came here say when some of the eval, but a lot has remained the same like the company, the bank to deepen the pregnancy big when in the and the united states.
9:22 am
washington rolled up to red cliff pizza, mr. moody, in an attempt to infuse relations with fresh energy. the delegation of high ranking us politicians attended the work. i'm sorry, money. including secretary state antony, blinking. defense secretary lloyd austin. did us hopes to turn a new page and its relations with india became strange following motives. decision to remain neutral on the warn you crime? did us seize india as an important counterbalance to china's growing influence. india. however, my cousin pushes 2 adults. welcome back to the white house and enjoying press conference, the 2 liters with careful not to mention any points of friction. or instead the announce great to defense cooperation afternoon, i'm focused on the close times partnership. those among most consequential in the
9:23 am
world that a strong are closer and more dynamic than any time in history. the visit culminated in a lot of state to now. and so the 1st time with the menu that was in time, you talked based. this is doing an on of mr. moody who is a strict vegetarian right here. so let's get more now from data view teeth, international editor and richard walker, who joins us here in the studio. i mean quite the pomp and circumstance. we have to say, tell us about the tensions that we weren't seeing. yes, that, that's true. so i mean, it really was a remarkable welcome to moody god and the 2nd a speech to congress as well. but um, but it's also true that a small number of democratic lawmakers, a boy you cause you that speech and of what they see as, as the, those kind of squeeze on press freedoms has been taking place in indian. you've seen india sort of falling,
9:24 am
picked precipitously through the international press rank press reading rankings. you know, that the come out every year. the sense of a hostile environment to, to the very substantial. most of the minority that exists in india is that people link to modi's, hindu nationalist agenda. so something that is being criticized some of the measures that have come out from bodies governments in the past. so being precisely by the united nations, as, as the fundamentally discriminatory mode in his speech to congress managed to kind of trying to send this and, and really kind of exude this sense of sort of coming up as of the 2 great democracies kind of coming together and sort of batching away or no, you know, and didn't glancing me referring to ukraine. and obviously the fact that you know, you, the india has been working this way. so neutral, lined on, on ukraine was busily buying very large amounts of indian or of chinese, russian and russian oil at the low cost almost like benefiting from the,
9:25 am
from the situation they're managing. so i'm trying to send that and present himself as, as an emblem of common purpose of to great democracies in the well, what? because india is of quite strategic importance. the united states as an in the ground hope is that india could be this count her way down to china. what do you make of that? how does it, does it seem realistic? yeah, i mean, so i, and i think that that is kind of key to the reception that he's getting here because, you know, the united states is increasingly massively focused on the threat of china as the threat to american pre eminence. not as an agent, but also in the world. and here they see a man who can sort of stand by them. you know, the leader of the largest democracy in the world. that's right. the in, in asia and, and to an extent india can play that role, but there are limits. and let's talk about the indian ocean that of course, india sits in the middle of we often talk about the spices house trying to see and
9:26 am
the taiwan strait is the real kind of baffled band between the us and china. but the indian ocean is incredibly important as well. this is the route through which china gets, you know, is energy from the middle east. so china has been building up a network of, of bases naval and seaport, bases that it is gradually kind of is that obviously moving into the indian ocean. this is a place that it wants to have a very large presence without india. that's a push back then china could potentially dominate. so that's very important, but i think the limits are if you look at this with the worst case scenarios that we think about in asia, a potential war of the taiwan. for example, would india fight with united states over a war of a type one? that scene is pretty unlikely. japan probably would unite straightly a might well, those both treaty allies in the united states. no so much closer to taiwan. india much less slightly to get drawn into any actual sort of what was china, unless it's a border with china itself,
9:27 am
which is the world's largest contested bit of territory land territory. and less that exploded. so those, the kinds of limits the americans realize india is not gonna be an ally, but it wants to be it to be as close of friends as it can possibly make it. really interesting. thank you so much for putting this into the, to a political context for us. the chief international editor richard walker. we appreciate it. so with that, you're up to date on the news to the point is next. so with us, the,
