good day, i m chris jansing live at msnbc headquarters in new york city. what were those mysterious noises coming from the under the waves? could they be proof that the crew of the submersible titan still was alive nearly 80 hours after the five of them went missing. those are just two of the questions we re hoping the coast guard will answer when they hold a press conference expected to start just minutes from now. once they start we will bring it to you live. and unfolding right now, a massive explosion at a school in the heart of paris. at least 16 injured, 7 people seriously. the search is on for more victims. we ll have the latest on that ahead. plus, india s prime minister puts on a show doing yoga on the lawn of the u.n. in new york. just hours before president biden will test his political flexibility as he hosts the leader accused of waging war on democracy in his own country. but we start with that coast guard update, let s go live and take a listen. fi
