London: Captain Hamish Harding, Chairman of Action Aviation and a British businessman who collaborated with the Indian government to bring cheetahs from Namibia to India, is one among the five people who went missing in the Atlantic Ocean aboard a submersible on a mission to have a look at the wreckage of the Titanic - the iconic ocean liner.

Reportedly, the research vessel Polar Prince lost contact with the submersible on Sunday about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive in mid-Atlantic. The sub belonging to OceanGate Expeditions confirmed that its submarine was lost at sea. The company offers eight-day missions to see the Titanic wreckage for USD 250,00 per person. Meanwhile, the company in a statement mentioned that they are exploring and mobilising all options to bring the crew back safely.

The BBC reported on Tuesday that British-Pakistani billionaire businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman were also on the sub.

Hamish Harding, in collaboration with the Indian government for Project Cheetah, had customised Boeing 747-400 aircraft from Namibia to Kuno to relocate the wild cats in September last year.

Manchester (England) (AP): Rayan Cherki kept Manchester City's Premier League title challenge powering on with a late winner at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The France forward's 83rd minute strike secured a 2-1 victory at the City Ground to make it six league wins in a row for Pep Guardiola's team.

City is on an eight-game winning run in all and provisionally moved to the top of the standings — one point ahead of Arsenal, which was playing Brighton later on Saturday.

“Today is a big win,” Cherki told TNT Sports. “I'm proud of the team because this game is very complicated to win.”

It was Cherki's second goal in three games and fifth over all. He also provided an assist with an intricate pass to Tijjani Reijnders to put City ahead three minutes into the second half.

Omari Hutchinson equalized for relegation-fighting Forest, which was holding out for a crucial point until Cherki fired through a crowded box for the winner.

Guardiola looks like a man who believes his team is ready to regain the title it surrendered to Liverpool last season. He joined in the celebrations with the traveling fans after the final whistle — acting conductor as they celebrated wildly after another win.
