been lucky the last two days light red little bit of light rain yesterday today nothing yet but it's not going to last and that's what they're worried about so the contingency the more. risky but more probable option is to have them come out with scuba equipment on the talking about full face masks unlike the normal scuba with a regulator in their mouth and a separate mask is the fourth hole facemask but that's very risky you know you know obviously with anybody who's a decent swimmer if you've never scuba dive before that's going to be difficult and odd if you will situation go through let alone some of these boys probably can't even swim so that is a challenging and risky option but it's being it's being explored what we're hearing today so far we saw the new video of the boys there getting you know that video one of the videos i should say was released by the thai seal team a navy seal team who's been going in there we're being told that there are. medically trained side navy seal divers with the boys now all the time they're

staying with them all the time that's going to show in this video they're wearing these silver heat blankets and we know that they've been getting supplies in and out and as you mentioned adrian they're in the process of setting up a communication line kind of you know they've been leapfrogging these communication lines into the cave deeper and deeper to help the divers operations now they're looking to get it to the boys all the way to the boys so they can speak to their family that's something we expect we might see today the governor just holding a press conference in the last few minutes he has said that they're not going to be extracted pulled out a vacuum today he said they're not going to do it until it's one hundred percent safe and that they just don't know when that's going to happen agent and that's what all this effort is going to right now ok we can see the boys wearing. those survival blankets you say they're getting medical treatment in school what else is being done to make them comfortable what kind of they are they managing to eat. we know initially they were brought in kind of like a very high calorie high energy gel because you know these boys they haven't had

anything was for ten days before they got any of these supplies were in the eleventh day now so anything that's high caloric and high protein to really build back up all the the body mass i mean if you see in those images they look gaunt they look very very skinny so to put any as many calories in them as possible that is probably going to continue for the next couple of days i mean one of the videos you can see one of the medically trained divers put in what appears to be iodine on maybe some nicks bruises and scrapes on their feet in the leg so that it's been going on but you know once you know it and it's kind of like almost a constant assembly line bringing supplies in to those boys obviously once they get them up to what they feel is a good level then maybe some different kind of food some more normal food if you will not things you like high protein so that will probably be brought in but again right now the focus is figuring out how to get them out and right now no definitive plan is an action a couple of plans are being put in the planning process that they begin to the early stages but what they're actually going to do they don't know yet the governor

just saying last couple minutes today it's not going to happen sco but he thinks they don't exist called hi-lo that chang ronald and. jordan and israel are refusing to open the borders to thousands of refugees who fled a government offensive in southern syria the u.n. now says that as many as three hundred thirty thousand people have been forced from their homes by the government offensive to recapture the dead up province jordan is sending food and aid supplies but despite a plea from the u.n. it says that its border will remain closed zeroes in a halt to reports from beirut in neighboring lebanon. jordan israel won't let them in and their towns are battlegrounds these people are trapped. the syrian government offensive and that our province now into its third week has displaced more than a quarter of a million people according to the united nations some are living in makeshift tents many others out in the open they have little food water or medicine or protection from the heat there is
