and that's how they can also watch it. now the, the state of the news lawn from berlin, a tragedy in the north atlantic, all 5 people on board. the titans are dead. the vessels suffered a catastrophic implosion near the historic, titanic, rec. we'll talk to a survivor of an accident at the shipwreck site for his unique view on this incident also on the program. desperately speaking, skilled workers for decades. germany is at the top immigration roles,

but now math of labor shortages are forcing the government to change the law while at the same time, the far right anti immigration and the party enjoys a search of support in germany. achieving its highest approval ratings. ever the welcome to the show, us coast guard says an investigation is now under way to find out why the submersible used to visit the rack of the titanic imploded. all 5 people on board were killed in the incidents authorities. a pieces of the vessel have been found on the ocean floor around 500 meters from the titanic experts had res, safety concerns about the sub before and embark on the journey of the after days of age and the searching rescue if it's for the titan took

a grim to the waist caused scott along with canadian british and french teams scale with 20000 square kilometers. they are expensive 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 foul of that diatonic 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 also the c e o of the company leading the petition ocean gate. the company was on its 3rd trip to explore the titanic despite the various safety

concerns about its expeditions to the deep sea wreak. it's just, it's just true 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 seamanship, the company released a statement, expressing condolences for the families of those killed. the passengers included a french submarine expected a british billionaire to and the pakistani british business tycoon and has some risk is couldn't consume with the bodies of those code 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 uh the area down there. but i don't have an answer for a prospect at this time. underwater. broad thoughts, we keep searching for clues about what happened to the tyson. its remains now lying alongside the rick, it's fish out to explore on the atlantic ocean floor. michael gan made history 23 years ago as the 1st correspondent to report from the wreck of the titanic during a dive in a similar vessel to the time he shared his thoughts with us after hearing the tragic news. so yes, like everybody else,

i was hoping and praying that there could be a met, miraculous rescue. but in the end, i have to be honest with you, nicole. i knew right from the get go, that the test could have been a catastrophic failure for variety reasons. one of them being that this vessel, the titan was design so that the ballast would automatically jettisoned after 24 hours, where the mission was successful or not. it was just set to automatically jettisoned the ballast, bring the tight into the surface, the safety costs. there were 2 backups to that one that electronic and one manual using compressed air. so when i learned that this vessel hadn't pop to the surface within 24 hours, i knew that this wasn't just a communications failure. this was a failure that involved the entire vessel. so even though i held out holes and i prayed, because i'm an up this up in an optimistic person by nature. i knew in the back of my mind this had to have been a catastrophic failure of the entire vessel. and that's exactly what happened. so

you yourself had a traumatic experience at the bottom of the ocean 23 years ago when you went down to see the wreck of the titanic after the faithful journey of the titan. how do you look back on that experience as well? i have or demise was instantaneous, but we at the ball during the week we thought they were just suffering down there because i did we, my sub which was a russian so very well constructed, originally constructed for scientific purposes, piloted by a very skillful pilot. in fact, he was a former mig pilot, so he was used to dealing with situations of life and death and keeping his cool under pressure. but our sub got caught in an underwater current that drove us right into the blaze of the propeller on the stern section of the titanic. it's a gigantic propeller, much larger than our sub. and higher pilot victor, after more than a half hour, was able to extricate us during that half hour,

which trust me to call seemed like any trinity we were able to be rescued. so i know very well what it's like to be down there in the middle of nowhere. the north atlantic waters are specially, i'm forgetting their cold. they're restless, just like the rest of the ocean. it's a very dangerous mission. and uh, i was prepared to give up my life in fact, until right up until the moment that our pilot informed us that he had successfully extricated us from the blaze of the propeller. i had already made peace, i was ready to let go. this unimaginable what me, you must have gone through. this is early days still, but if someone familiar with dave c explorations, what do you think could have gone so terribly wrong with a titan as well? clearly, something went wrong with the pressure vessel. that is the sea rustling which state where it enclosed its pressure ice to fight against the ocean. you have to

understand that they, they were about an hour and 43 minutes into their dive. so they were passed half way down to the bottom. they didn't quite make it to the bottom, but even at that depth that they were at, the pressure is, are unbelievable. and they are just pressing in on you in all directions. so there must have been some flow and it only takes a tiny flaw. you've heard the expression a chain is only as strong as its weakest link while a pressure vessel like that is only as strong as its weakest point. it's possible, and this is only speculation that in the previous 2 dives down to the titanic the titan made successfully, albeit with some concerns. there may have been a micro fixture that developed in the carbon fiber pressure vessel that you could not possibly detect with the naked eye. it would take an x ray to see that. and it very well might, might be that that was the weak links that, that was the weak spot in the pressure vessel. and that's all this merciless ocean, this merciless pressure that is brought to bear in all directions brought this

vessel down. and i, i wanna make one more point nicole than that is the word implosion is appropriate. it's accurate, but a lot of people are they confusion in their mind with the word explosion, nothing these, this vessel was not ripped apart, even though you've seen piece to there what happened was that this pressure vessel gave way, and the pressure basically just compressed it instantly so i would prefer for people to think of it as an instantaneous compression. and the only reason you see other parts is because when that error vessel was compressed instantaneously, it detached itself from the other parts, but the other parts are fairly well intact. this was not an explosion like the us space shuttle when that exploded. and it wasn't like the collision that the titanic experience during the iceberg, which broke it apart into 2 pieces. so i just wanted to make that point because i keep hearing people and even on social media imagining the wrong thing. so assigned

to star last and author, michael d and speaking to us earlier, let's look at some more stories making headlines around the world today. you're in nuclear t. russell grossey has met with the head of russia's nuclear agency. and colleen and crowd is that the to discuss the safety of the separation nuclear power plant, which is currently under russian control. moscow has urged the un agency to prevent ukrainian attacks on the plan, but keep alleges russia may be planning an attack. commodious has passed a law barring non voters from running for office in future elections. pro government law makers unanimously approved the amendment which critics say is aimed at stifling the opposition's. chances particularly those and exile, the incumbent prime minister is running almost unopposed in next month's general election. severe storms brought heavy rains, a hail and flashed flooding. 2 parts of germany on thursday. storms collapsed roofs

and uprooted trees in the central state of has the city of castle was head particularly hard with a severe weather disrupting boss and rail travel. germany lacks skill. doctors, teachers, and tech workers are all in short supply. so the government is now looking to recruit new talent and make the country more attractive to foreigners with the need of qualification. that means changing the laws around immigration to bring in more people from outside the the people. it's a step towards making germany a more attractive destination for emigration. members of the board to stuck on friday said yes, the changing the skilled workers will be able to put out. we need to be more open to bright minds and hot working hands. we need to get better at competing for global talent. and this low is making sure of that, even putting it on experts say each year,

gemini needs about $400000.00 skilled workers to come to the country from abroad to fill the gaps. the hope is that this new law with that small flexible rules could entice more professionals. the changes mean people with the university degree and the job offer to find it easier to get the residency permit. in germany, i teach specialists in high demand and in some cases won't even need to have a degree to come work here. then you will problem is this less through a policy and a so called opportunity card for those skilled workers who wants to find a job. after arriving into money. there are also new rules, the qualified asylum seekers walk over to hear those be food qualifications. we will be able to access the labor market. this has to be a by making it possible for people to participate here and treating them with respect. that's the only way it can work with it of what may look good on paper. it could be very different in practice, critics one that by lowering the salaries threshold,

people could be paid unfairly or even exploited. and how quickly the storage is be able to process based applications. remember, this is a country where many government agencies still use fax machines. gemini was recently bolted the worst place for foreign workers in the survey, looking at issues such as access to housing and digital infrastructure. there is a global competition for skilled labor and germany has some catching up to do all this low to a's. immigration comes as a new paul of voters in germany shows the ford for the far right anti immigration and the party has reached its highest every level. the survey found that 19 percent of voters would pick b a if the if elections were held this week. that would make them the 2nd strongest party in germany, 2 percentage points ahead of the social democrats of current chancellor or of charles. the party who he mounted best in the pole with a 29 percent share of the vote,

or the conservative cd you are currently in opposition. and d, w, use political correspondent julia fidelity is more or it's shown by research. in fact, that migration is the number one topic for the a if the party it is a topic that a mobilizes a if the voters and engage and if the voters. and we have seen the topic in the news. for example, just as we've heard because of this, a reform being brought forward by the government. but also we've seen headlines about how local authorities in germany are struggling with welcoming the influx of many ukrainian refugees. we have been fleeting the war, but also there has been a lot of talk about a reform of the asylum rules at e u level. and also within germany. and we had already see a seen the emergence of the a if the party at it starts right after the big numbers of refugees coming to germany from syria. so this is definitely a topic that brings

a se up in the polls as julia, so deli reporting there. and you're watching the, the leaders of next on the, the, we can just agent, the parts dani tycoon and his ill fated voyage to the titanic. we'll hear some reactions and pakistan. is there any way for south asia to beat the extreme and life threatening heat? well, it's a chan will have that and we're after a short break, stay to the can you hear me? we are all set. we are watching close all the to bring you the story behind the new the.
