alone they were found alive and well but now the focus turns to getting them out and all the indications are that could take some time the twelve boys and their coach of a thai youth football team will be supplied with food until then the boys were found late monday by british divers with video showing them huddled and emaciated after being trapped for nine days time military says its focus has shifted from finding the group to the tricky task of freeing them from the flooded underground system scott hyla has the latest on the rescue operation in chiang rai. they became known as the missing thirteen here in thailand but they're not missing any more but their ordeal is not over the boys and their coats were discovered at nine fifteen pm local time here but they are still in there it's going to be a very difficult process to get them out officials here are trying to hatch a plan the best plan to get them out safely medical technicians are in with them

and i will be throughout the day throughout the hours making sure that they're in good health so far it sounds like there's no major health issue for now obviously the very hungry they're being fed supplies have been brought in but it's going to be very difficult to take them out that is because that water level is still very high now it's stopped raining but there's still a lot of water in there and the pumping is still going on so that's the biggest issue is the water level because even though it's not raining here the hills around here drain into that system that we've been speaking with family members who have been here for this entire ordeal ten days they say that officials are telling them that they're going to try to move family members to chiang rai city prevents the capital here to the hospital there that's where they will take the boys when they come out and bring them to that hospital we're hearing that they'll probably be taken out from the stairway here and then they'll be put into anyone's is taken to a how a padded makes it nearby and helicopters over to chiang rai city now it's about an hour drive obviously a lot less time by helicopter but right now the family they're very happy but

they're very concerned now is how quickly these boys and come out and right now we're not getting any indication really of how long that's going to take a let's take a closer look at how the underground cave complex is laid out in the but longings of the twelve boys and their coach was first spotted at the entrance of the cave at one point rescuers thought they were trapped several kilometers within the complex near an area known as pitot beach but that was flooded and they were found a further four hundred meters away close to the main cave. jordan's foreign minister is heading to moscow in an effort to solve a humanitarian crisis building on the border with syria about two hundred seventy thousand people have been displaced by a russian backed government campaign to retake that our province in syria southwest many of amassed on the borders with jordan and israel but neither country is letting them in and now activists and reporting government forces have send

reinforcements to the front lines around the town of toughest in the west in the countryside of what there are was a hoarder joins us now from beirut so what is the latest you're hearing on the situation on the ground. well like you mentioned government troops are reinforcing their positions around tough us for them this operation will continue until they recapture the hold of this southern province of the opposition does not want to surrender they are saying that they're not ready to give up all the sacrifices that they've made over the past two years but right now they are in a very difficult position the jordanian foreign minister who jordan of course having close ties with these rebels over the years he's going to be heading to moscow today for talks with his russian counterpart tomorrow according to the jordanian foreign minister what we want to do is reach some sort of a cease fire to pave the way for the return of these that the refugees and the

displaced people to their homes so that people feel safe and that really is the key word because what the opposition is demanding is not to be forcibly displaced like we saw in eastern aleppo over the years what they want is to be able to stay in their homes with some sort of guarantee so this is what the opposition is asking for some sort of a guarantor to a peace deal they're asking if jordan will ensure that they will be safe if they remain in their home so difficult thing go ahead but for the process government camp there's only one option on the table and that is so render or face a military attack. and how much of it is it a reflection of russia's influence in syria or at least that part of syria the jordanian foreign minister is prepared to fly to moscow to try and resolve this. well the russian military has been involved in negotiations with the rebel factions on the ground jordanian facilitated and jordanian mediated negotiations there is no

doubt that the russians have influence on the ground but they do not have enough men on the ground to patrol all the areas if you've noticed in the past in previous agreements over the years what the opposition would ask for is for the russian military to enter their town not that they trust the russians but they trust the russians more than they trust the syrian government or the iranians but the russians don't have all these men on the ground to be able to patrol all these areas so they are involved in the negotiations but at the end of the day the syrian government troops who are going to take up positions once you know the rebel areas surrender or rebel factions leave the area so you know hold a live for us there in beirut thank you now the u.n. special envoy to yemen is back there for talks aimed at ending fighting in the port city of data martin griffiths will meet leaders from the warring sides in the next three days a day the fourth is the main entry for aid needed by millions of yemenis on sunday the united arab emirates said it halted its military campaign to give the un's

diplomatic efforts a chance but hooty rebels say the saudi in iraq the coalition has launched ten air strikes and ground attacks in the past twenty four hours. the libyan navy says sixty three refugees and migrants are missing feared drowned in the mediterranean sea after their inflatable boat sank the navy rescued another forty one of the libyan red crescent recovered another seventeen bodies on a beach in tripoli monday night they're believed to have been among the one hundred three refugees including through three babies who drowned in a similar incident on friday according to the international organization for migration at least two hundred people have now died trying to cross from libya to europe just since friday that brings the total number of drownings in the mediterranean sea to more than one thousand and since the beginning of the year and over nine thousand since twenty sixteen people smugglers have exploited the chaos in libya making it one of the main transit points to europe for other africans

fleeing poverty and violence around six hundred thousand migrants and refugees from over thirty countries are thought to still be in the country with many preparing to make the crossing so far this year ten thousand migrants have been brought back to shore by the libyan coast guard and put into detention so there's a big increase by the libyan coast guard in preventing smuggling. at the same time the proportion of the number of deaths is increasing we think this is because the smugglers are getting more desperate and are taking desperate measures and absolutely not caring for the safety of the migrants putting them to sea in unsafe persons a three year old girl three year old refugee how girl has died from injuries she sustained during a mass stabbing in the u.s. state of ohio temora kenya is facing murder charges for attacking children at a birthday party police say the girl killed was the youngest of six children

hoffa agreed not to resign after the crisis talks over tighter border controls dominic cain has more from berlin. after days of deliberation many meetings not necessarily meetings of minds eventually there was this agreement on around a document which can unite the two branches of conservatism in this country this is that document which effectively creates a new regime at the border between germany and austria the place where the bavarian christian social union believes that migration has become problematic certainly illegal migration into germany they stopped him and creates as i say a regime whereby centers will be set up close to the border which will be in effect detention centers for some people pending their return to the countries where they first made landfall in the u. this is been an issue that has divided the conservative branches of government two parties which until recently had been wedded at the hip as it were

a very successful election winning machine but which found itself effectively split in two by the round between anger merkel and horst zero four from the c.s.u. it appears as though the two parties have agreed on this question now will be how this can get to a position of being implemented by government of france's president has addressed financial and security challenges in the sahil on the final day of the african union summit in mauritania emmanuel mccraw help talks with leaders of the five nation french backed anti terror unit the g five said hell force as it's called which has faced several attacks from armed groups in recent days has shown her daughter has been following the summit from no i chopped. these are delicate times for french troops operating in the sahara region of subsaharan mali armed groups have attacked and killed french soldiers and their regional task force our allies

in guard and sivaji. friends has sent thousands of soldiers to the remote area where groups affiliated with i.c.l. and al qaida have grown in size and influence since two thousand and eleven and you see i obviously want to take a moment here for mali and friends following the cowardly odious attacks of the terrorists in survive. several french soldiers have been wounded and of being evacuated to france and it is mali and civilians african civilians who are killed by its here or ism who are the first victims of these barbarians we fight despite u.n. sanctions targeting smugglers in libya their networks remain a busy main gateway for migrants crossing the mediterranean into europe than wash out summit issued a watered down report on the situation in western sahara calling for the a you to

play a central role in breaking the impasse. a united nations brokered cease fire has been in force since one nine hundred ninety one but morocco and the police are your front remain deeply divided over how to end the conflict. and the african union says it will introduce zero tolerance policies for corruption but the leaders of countries often accused of graft inefficiency and crippling bureaucracy didn't elaborate on what kind of measures they plan to take. africa's problems have spread beyond the continent which explains why the e.u. has stepped in offering cash and military assistance to tackle the surge in attacks by armed groups investor have been adjourned and to dismantle the migrant smuggling networks but it's unclear if that will work with the ongoing conflicts and lawlessness in many african countries. washout. still ahead on our visit
