hello, i m sally bundock. after a boat capsized off the coast of greece last week, in which hundreds are feared to have died, the bbc has obtained evidence casting doubt on the greek coastguard s account of the tragedy. analysis of the movement of other ships in the area suggests the boat was not moving for at least seven hours before it capsized. our europe correspondent nick beake has this report. the greek authorities have faced heavy criticism over their response to this disaster. their argument has always been that the boat was moving in a steady direction towards italy, that it wasn t in danger, and so the people on board did not need to be rescued. now, we ve been looking at shipping data, looking at the boats that were in this part of the mediterranean sea on the day of the tragedy. we also looked at court records, logbooks, photographs and video. we ve built up a picture which seriously challenges the official greek version of events. last tuesday morning, from ....
this is bbc news. it s newsday. hello and welcome to the programme. the us coastguard has launched a search and rescue operation, after a sub mersible used to take tourists to view the wreck of the titanic went missing in the atlantic ocean. the vessel with five people on board lost contact about one hour and 45 minutes into a dive to the wreck. the titanic, which sank in 1912, lies nearly 4,000 metres beneath the surface, around 600 kilometres off the coast of newfoundland in canada.from boston , our correspondent jessica parker reports. designed to plunge the depths of the ocean, this is the titan submersible, now missing in the north atlantic after contact with the vessel was lost. it sparked a frantic but complicated search. 0n the bottom, particularly very deep, it s going to be difficult to rescue it. none of the conventional submarine rescue methods, which are designed mainly for naval submarines, would be able to operate down at the depth of the titanic. even if i ....

history is thankfully and finally beginning to accord a rightful place to those men and women of the windrush generation. you look beautiful. how are you? it is, i believe, crucially important that we should truly see and hear these pioneers who stepped off the empire windrush at tilbury injune 19a8, only a few months before i was born, and those who followed over the decades, to recognise and celebrate the immeasurable difference that they, their children and their grandchildren have made to this country. many served with distinction in the british armed forces during the second world war, just as their fathers and grandfathers had in the first world war. once in britain, they worked hard, offering their skills to rebuild a country during peacetime, and seeking opportunities to forge a better future for themselves and their families. when they arrived on our shores with little more than what they were able to carry with them, few could hardly have imagined then how the ....
