one of the vessel sent to the scene that carried the deep sea robot that was the first to discover the debris of the titan submersible around 1600 feet from the bow of the titanic. we also know that what was essentially heavy winching equipment was sent to the site as well. recovering it would have been quite the operation, the titanic wreckage is more than two miles below the ocean surface and have seen these pictures today, the first pictures we have seen off of the debris -- of the debris. it appears to show the landing legs, at least one of the titanium and capsules, a part of the vessel as well with some exposed wiring. this has all been offloaded in the port in newfoundland, canada. the closest point of land to the wreck site and of course where the titan submersible was transported from before it made

its dive the weekend before last. >> what happens next? how will this be used in the various investigations? >> the coast guard which is leading the investigation has been explicit that the debris will be part of that investigation. they have also said they will likely have a formal hearing or public testimony interview with crew and staff as well. this would be crucial evidence, these pieces of debris. one of the five people who sadly died was the chief executive of the firm that ran the trip, a man called stockton rush. what emerged is that safety concerns had previously been raised about the experimental nature of the vessel and some emails scene by the bbc showed he had been dismissed. the company he ran has not commented on that since it was a

sad time for employees. the investigation were claimed among the debris and they will try to establish a cause of the implosion and as well, the coast guard will make recommendations about what further regulations need to be in the industry and as well any civil or criminal sanctions area. >> great to have you reporting, thank you. the focus in recent days has been on the political and military divisions within russia and the fallout from the weekend's mutiny. with the crash of a in the city of kramatorsk, the grammar reality of war has surged back to the service, 11 people are known to have died in a pizza restaurant on tuesday when it was hit by a russian missile. dozens more were injured. andrew sent this report from kramatorsk. >> outside of the ruins of a popular restaurant, and his

relatives and friends still waiting for news late this afternoon, in eastern ukraine. another body, the 11th so far has been brought out. the distress of those hoping for a of more survivors. among those already confirmed dead, these twins, yuliya and anna aksenchenko. this was the scene in kramatorsk last night. moments after a russian missile hit the restaurant and a nearby hotel. shock and panic among survivors. my daughter is still inside, her name is arena. we hear she has been rescued. the death is continuing to rise -- death toll is continuing to rise. journalists and ukrainian

soldiers taking a break from the nearby frontlines. rescuer continued through the night. -- rescue work continued through the night. an industrial city has been repeatedly targeted by the kremlin forces over the past year and a half. this time, a new twist. ukrainian security services releasing this photo of a local man they arrested. describing him as a russn agent who allegedly sent video footage of the restaurant to the russian military hours before it was destroyed. >> did the kremlin are liberally target this particular batch deliberately target this -- did the kremlin a target this restaurant? it does not matter, civilian casualties were almost inevitable. heair raid siren,

but the search goes on regardless. >> mutiny fizzled out with the head of the wagner seeking exile in belarus and that has led to many questions over the fate of the armed troops and the soldiers who make up its ranks. a senior correspondent has more on that from warsaw. >> there is some concern in eastern europe about the prospect of the wagner the road located -- relocated toelarus. the president here has talked about his security concerns saying that there is a potential threat to nato countries, poland, all of the countries that border belarus and there has been talk of reinforcing the border with belarus even further here in this country. calls for nato to look at securi on its eastern flank. when they are worrying about that i should say there has been no sign as of yet of any wagner forces moving from russia to belarus. what we have seen ourselves is

that wagner as an entity still exists. we have been calling recruitment centers across russia and they are working and they are taking calls and they are still telling people to come in and sign up and get a contract. now what the russian defense ministry but the wagner, the group that led them mutiny over the weekend. stabbing russia in the back, and they are still operating. they told us on those phone calls that the new recruits could be sent to ukraine or belarus. that is why countries in eastern europe are still concerned. >> president biden has been hitting the road to make a case for his economic policies and during a major policy speech in chicago on wednesday he touted his as administration's economic successes and try to argue that he deserves more credit for his handling of the economy. it is part of a three week pushed by his team to win over

voters who are struggling with high inflation and rising interest rates. that is what mr. biden had to say about his policies. >> are policies are working, the pandemic was raging, and our economy was reeling. supply chains were broken, millions of people were unemployed, hundreds of thousands of small businesses on the verge of closing after so many had already closed. today, u.s. has the highest economic growthate leading the world economies since the pandemic. the highest in the world. [applause] >> with me now is haley stevens, a democrat from michigan, thank you so much for joining us here on the bbc. the president's speech was about touting his achievements of what he and others have called biden-nomics. 57% of people disapprove of

president biden's handling of the economy if you compare that to 30% of people who approve of biden's handling of the economy. why do voters feel this way? >> it is soon to be the heat of a presidential election cycle where people are paying attention in different ways. one of thing we know here in michigan is that we have some the lowest unemployment we have ever had as a state. the city of detroit, famously known as the pygmy of the rust belt -- the example of the rust belt. the lowest unemployment since the 1970's, it is remarkable and sure we can credit this to president biden's investments and shepherding this country through the passage of a

bipartisan infrastructure bill that is fixing our roads and modernizing our systems, we could also look at we are actually competing with china and at real scale. investing in a vehicle battery manufacturing and investing in chips and chip manufacturing. >> what else would you like to see the president do to get through to all voters? >> what he is doing today in this three week tour, lovey kicked it off in the midwest -- i love that he kicked it off in the midwest and he is getting on the road and i think it will be talking to everyday americans who have to break through. fig how many people are at speech -- think about how many people that speech hearing his passion, is what he needs to do, go and talk to people and he is doing just that and it is going to work. >> you mentioned cna, you are on the select committee for competitiveness with dina, the

new york times reported that the biden administration may impose greater resources on china's ability to build high end chips. how should they handle this? >> we have to look at where we are strong in technology investments from the is diversity level -- from the university level to the private sector, seeing some amazing contributions from microsoft with mr. sam altman's company and innovations that is chatgpt. we know that there are global indicators that show that china is leading is leading in 37 critical technology areas. i am here in the automotive capital of the united states in america and michigan, we are racing to catch up in electric vehicles and racing to catch up on chips. how do we not fall behind, ai in

taken place and the united states will continue to invest and support, we must. >> your constituent is the former u.s. marine in a russian prison right now, what is the tense situation in russia that we are seeing right now? what does that mn for the efforts underway to secure his release? >> it has been since the beginning an unbelievable situation with mr. welland. it was lawlessness and frankly an example of what we call canary in the coal mine of what mr. putin was going to partake in at the global stage with illegal activities. as we knew that this war was going to start and when it started, the concern for his well-being increased and does have consular access, it is very touchy, the leverage points that we have to see him turn home,

there is something about his profile and the fact, there is a former marine that has left him, stuck in the russian prison for far too long. as his brother david said we believe and we know we are not going to give up hope that he will come home and i am working to in and day out and i was so pleased to see every democrat and republican support unanimously a resolution in the congress calling the russian federation to release him calling out the russian federation for their legal kidnapping and imprisonment of mr. welland. >> a democrat from michigan, thank you for being with us here on the bbc. to france where president macron has said that the fatal shooting of a teenager by police in paris is unforgivable.
