wreckage of the "titanic," killing all five people on board. it's the worst possible outcome for the international team of rescuers who were racing against time to save the lives of those passengers. earlier today, two debris fields were discovered less than 2,000 feet from the "titanic" by a canadian ship's remotely operated vehicle. it was scanning the ocean floor. experts say the debris fields are consistent with a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber. the coast guard said five major pieces of the vessel have been found, but it is not clear if recovery of the bodies will ever be possible. cbs's roxana saberi, who has been covering these developments all week, leads us off tonight from boston. roxana. >> reporter: good evening, jericka. the coast guard here in boston, which led the international search efforts, says it's too soon to tell when the submersible imploded. they're offering condolences to the families of the five passengers on board who lost their lives. a tragic end to a frantic

3:34 am
>> we've never been held back by defeats along the way. the quest will continue for exploration. >> reporter: tonight a navy official tells cbs news that the navy detected what it called an acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion shortly after the titan lost contact on sunday. the official says the information was shared with the cast guard, which used it to narrow down the search area. jericka. >> all right. roxana saberi, thank you. president biden welcomed indian prime minister narendra modi to the white house for a controversial state visit. cbs's nancy cordes reports that modi was once banned from entering the united states, but today he received a hero's welcome. >> reporter: he's been accused of dismantling democracy in india, and yet washington rolled out the red carpet today for prime minister narendra modi. ♪ tonight he'll be treated to a rare state dinner, a sign of how

3:36 am
>> saying what i think is the facts with regard to the relationship with india -- with china is just not something i'm going to change very much. >> reporter: officials in beijing were so upset about the president's use of the term "dictator," that they summoned the u.s. ambassador so that they could lodge a complaint in person. president biden doesn't usually describe xi that way in public, especially because he's trying to repair a rocky relationship between the two countries right now. jericka. >> nancy cordes at the white house, thank you. turning overseas now, a russian court ruled today that "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich must remain in jail on espionage charges until at least late august. the 31-year-old appeared in a moscow courtroom today. he lived in russia for six years and was covering the war in ukraine before his arrest. his lawyer called the charges baseless. u.s. government officials have said he is being wrongfully

hehe's confidentnt and h he shot hehe's strong. so t that's o one of ththe reas that i say this is the beginning of the end for him. >> reporter: ukraine has denied any involvement in those attacks within russia. now, we should tell you that the freedom of russia legion has cooperated with another armed russian group that reportedly has links to neo-nazis. ilya upon mar ov justified that. the big question is whether these attacked really pose a threat to putin. i don't have a clear cut answer for that, but she do show that some russians are willing to risk everything to try to get rid of him. >> that was holly williams reporting. closer to home, the federal trade commission is suing amazon, alleging it used deceptive tactics with consumers. the agency says the retailer duped people into signing up for its prime service and then made it difficult to cancel. anna werner has new reporting.
