                     The Polar Prince has returned to shore in Canada where it faces an investigation into its role in the catastrophic implosion of the Titan submersible.
Flags on board the vessel were at half-mast as it docked in St John's, Newfoundland, on Saturday.
Another boat was seen in the harbour towing the Titan's launch platform.
The Titan was on a dive to the wreck of the Titanic when it broke apart, killing all five people on board.
The Polar Prince towed the submersible out to the area in the North Atlantic where the Titanic sank, about 400 miles from St John's.
It carried members of the support team and some family members of the victims, and was involved in the search for the vessel once it lost contact about one hour and 45 minutes into its dive on Sunday.
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Head coach Steve Clarke has done "incredible" work in his four years with Scotland, Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell says.
Scotland top their Euro 2024 qualifying group, winning their first four matches.
Tuesday's success against Georgia made it 10 consecutive qualifying victories.
"I remember when we announced him at the press conference in 2019, we said we needed a manager to make a pot four team a pot two team," Maxwell said.
"We're now a Nations League Group A side, so he's actually taken us a bit higher.
"The only word I can think to use when talking about his impact is incredible."
It is the first time Scotland have started a campaign with four successive wins, with Spain beaten at Hampden and Norway edged out by two late goals in Oslo.
It leaves Scotland eight points clear in Group A, with a trip to Cyprus next up in September.
"It's not done yet, but we are very, very close," Maxwell told BBC Scotland of the prospect of reaching back-to-back European Championship finals under Clarke.
"We are a really good team and I'd be amazed if we don't pick up more points over the rest of this campaign - and that's what we need to do."
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Inter Miami have announced the signing of Barcelona captain Sergio Busquets, reuniting him with former team-mate Lionel Messi.
Busquets, 34, announced in May he would be leaving the La Liga champions after 18 years at the club.
The midfielder will link up with Argentina forward Messi, 35, who confirmed this month he was moving to Inter Miami from Paris St-Germain.
Busquets and Messi spent 13 seasons together at Barca from 2008 to 2021.
They were part of a successful team which won three Champions Leagues, eight La Liga titles and six Copas del Rey.
It has been reported that, like Messi, former Spain midfielder Busquets received offers from Saudi Arabia, but he has opted to move to the Miami side owned by David Beckham.
Former Spain captain Busquets played 722 matches in total for Barcelona - the third-most appearances in the club's history.
Over his 15 years with the senior team he scored 18 goals and provided 40 assists.

The film, written by William Osborne and Michael McCullers, was released on 20 July 2004 in the United Kingdom and 30 July 2004 in the United States.
The film's plot concerns the Hood, who traps International Rescue (IR) leader Jeff Tracy and four of his sons on board the damaged Thunderbird 5 to steal the other Thunderbirds vehicles and commit heists that IR will be blamed for, prompting Jeff's youngest son Alan and his friends Tin-Tin and Fermat to stop him. In contrast with the original TV series, which used a combination of puppetry and scale-model special effects dubbed "Supermarionation", this film was made in live action with CGI effects.

                     Trinidad and Tobago qualified for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, its first-ever qualification for the tournament. During their qualifying campaign, they sat at the bottom of the table in the final round of qualifying with one point from three. However, after the arrival of Leo Beenhakker as team coach and the recalling of veteran players Dwight Yorke and Russell Latapy, Trinidad and Tobago reversed its fortunes and placed fourth in the group. They qualified via a play-off against Bahrain, recovering from a 1–1 draw at home to win 1–0 in Manama, Bahrain to book a place in the finals. As a result, Trinidad and Tobago became the smallest country to qualify for the FIFA World Cup, a record they held until Iceland reached their first World Cup in 2018. 
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Craig Brown, the last man to take Scotland to a World Cup finals, has died at the age of 82.
The national team's longest-serving manager, he was in charge for 71 games from 1993 to 2001, qualifying for Euro 96 and the 1998 World Cup.
He was also on the staff for the 1986 and 1990 finals.
Brown managed Preston North End and Motherwell before ending his career at Aberdeen in 2013 and moving into a board position at Pittodrie.
"Since 2010 Craig performed the roles of manager, director and ambassador," said Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack.
"Craig was a friend to all of us at the club, and a mentor and confidante to many.
"He was one of those rare individuals who was not only effective at what he did but universally loved by all who got to know him. A gentleman who loved his family, friends, and football."
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Awarded a CBE in 1999 for services to football, the former Dundee and Falkirk player spent nine years as manager of Clyde, starting out in 1977 while working as a primary school headteacher.
Having impressed with Scotland as a youth-level coach, he was asked to join Alex Ferguson's backroom team for the 1986 World Cup and would go on to serve as Andy Roxburgh's assistant, reaching the 1990 World Cup and Euro 92 finals.
Ferguson described Brown as a "thoroughly wonderful man" in a statement released by the League Managers Association.
Former Aberdeen and Manchester United manager Ferguson added: "Craig and I had been friends since Scotland schools team in 1957/58, with Craig as captain.
"When I was given the honour of managing Scotland at the World Cup finals in Mexico there was one man I had to take, for all his attributes and knowledge, that was Craig.
"He had a great career as a manager of several clubs but his service for his country stands out.
"In an industry that questions a man's capabilities, Craig never wavered in that situation, he always kept his head and his composure. Well done Broon!"
 
                    
                                
               
                                      
                      
                     Brown replaced Roxburgh when the chain of qualifying for five successive World Cups was broken, firstly overseeing a 3-1 loss away to Italy as interim boss.
Thereafter, his overall record with Scotland was 32 wins, 18 draws and 20 defeats.
There were away wins in Germany and England, while on the road to France 98, Scotland famously kicked off against no opposition in Tallinn as Estonia protested against a late change in kick-off time. After qualifying, Brown's team opened the tournament against Brazil in Paris, losing 2-1.
"Craig led the way in bringing sustained qualification to the men's national team, first as assistant to Andy Roxburgh and then in his own right," current Scotland boss Steve Clarke said on the Scottish Football Association website.
"He was a student of the game and I am proud to say that I followed in his footsteps by taking a Scotland team back to a major tournament.
"The thoughts of the players and my backroom staff go to Craig's family and friends at this difficult time."
A statement from Brown's former club Motherwell said: "An icon and influential figure of Scottish football, Brown will forever be remembered for his astonishing achievements within the game and as a likeable character on and off the pitch. He will be missed by everyone."

                     Roy Hodgson has agreed to stay on as Crystal Palace manager next season.
The 75-year-old is currently on holiday but is expected to sign his contract for the coming campaign when he returns.
Hodgson returned to Selhurst Park in March, replacing Patrick Vieira on a deal until the end of the season.
He helped steer Palace away from the relegation zone, taking 18 points from his 10 games in charge to finish 11th in the Premier League.
Hodgson spent four years with Palace from 2017 but decided to step away from football in the summer of 2021.
He was then appointed Watford boss in January 2022 but left five months later after they were relegated to the Championship.
Palace were without a win in 12 matches in all competitions under Vieira before Hodgson returned to his boyhood club.
His managerial career has spanned more than 45 years and includes stints at Inter Milan, Blackburn, Fulham, Liverpool, West Brom and Palace, while he has also led the national sides of Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Finland.

"In an industry that questions a man's capabilities, Craig never wavered in that situation, he always kept his head and his composure. Well done Broon!"

Brown replaced Roxburgh when the chain of qualifying for five successive World Cups was broken, firstly overseeing a 3-1 loss away to Italy as interim boss.
Thereafter, his overall record with Scotland was 32 wins, 18 draws and 20 defeats.
There were away wins in Germany and England, while on the road to France 98, Scotland famously kicked off against no opposition in Tallinn as Estonia protested against a late change in kick-off time. After qualifying, Brown's team opened the tournament against Brazil in Paris, losing 2-1.
"Craig led the way in bringing sustained qualification to the men's national team, first as assistant to Andy Roxburgh and then in his own right," current Scotland boss Steve Clarke said on the Scottish Football Association website.
"He was a student of the game and I am proud to say that I followed in his footsteps by taking a Scotland team back to a major tournament.
"The thoughts of the players and my backroom staff go to Craig's family and friends at this difficult time."
A statement from Brown's former club Motherwell said: "An icon and influential figure of Scottish football, Brown will forever be remembered for his astonishing achievements within the game and as a likeable character on and off the pitch. He will be missed by everyone."

Roy Hodgson has agreed to stay on as Crystal Palace manager next season.
The 75-year-old is currently on holiday but is expected to sign his contract for the coming campaign when he returns.
Hodgson returned to Selhurst Park in March, replacing Patrick Vieira on a deal until the end of the season.
He helped steer Palace away from the relegation zone, taking 18 points from his 10 games in charge to finish 11th in the Premier League.
Hodgson spent four years with Palace from 2017 but decided to step away from football in the summer of 2021.
He was then appointed Watford boss in January 2022 but left five months later after they were relegated to the Championship.
Palace were without a win in 12 matches in all competitions under Vieira before Hodgson returned to his boyhood club.
His managerial career has spanned more than 45 years and includes stints at Inter Milan, Blackburn, Fulham, Liverpool, West Brom and Palace, while he has also led the national sides of Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Finland.
