LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Here now is the latest on that submarine that is on the bottom of the Barents Sea: CNN has been able to confirm this morning that some rescuers in a diving bell were able to reach the ship and actually get to the aft hatch, escape hatch, but that hatch was damaged and they were not able to pump water out and therefore enter the sub. While now -- while Russian officials are still working on that site of that downed sub, the families of the crew that are inside that ship are gathering in the port city of Murmansk. Relatives have been desperately seeking a list of exactly who was on board. And CNN's Steve Harrigan reports, they finally have the list, but little else.</s>STEVE HARRIGAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Families of the 118 sailors trapped in a sunken submarine are kept here, on a Russian naval base, away from the media. The wife of a sailor on board says: "If we believed all the bad things they said on television, we'd go out of our minds. Here they tell us, on a submarine there is food, so our guys have enough to eat, and there are blankets, so they're warm." A list of those on board the Kursk was finally published Friday. The nuclear submarine has been at the bottom of the Barents Sea since last Saturday. "Hundreds of fathers and mothers from all over the country," he says, "they call everyday asking if their son is on board." After nearly a week of failed rescue attempts, patience is wearing thin. Local politicians are calling for a criminal investigation to determine who is responsible for the accident. "The guilty ones have got to be discovered," he says, "and they've got to be punished."</s>HARRIGAN: Leon, many of those family members now say they are putting their hopes in rescue teams from England and from Norway, but the very earliest those teams will be able to start work will be sometime late Saturday. I'm Steve Harrigan, CNN, reporting live from Murmansk, Russia.</s>HARRIS: All right, thank you, Steve.
