Summary
Noise from the ocean raises hopes of a rescue.
Adam is joined by BBC science correspondent Victoria Gill and Dr Joe MacInnis, who was among the first to dive down to the wreck of the Titanic and knows one of the five people on board well, to discuss the complex search to find the missing Titanic submersible.
Also, interest rates are expected to rise again after UK inflation remained much higher than expected for the fourth month in a row. Economics editor Faisal Islam and the FT’s Claer Barrett are in the studio to explain what this could mean for the government, our wallets and our mortgages.
