and medical supplies of reach the twelve boys and coach phone lines so they can talk to the parents it's not yet however how the group will be brought heavy rain is expected to come to the cape for us q let's go live now to build in thailand. is following the rescue operation in chiang rai this is quite a conundrum isn't it one of the options for the rescues. absolutely and yes it's a conundrum right now what they're looking at they're continuing to do and they have been doing this for the cell last several days running is draining as much water as possible out of this cave system in this massive cave system because that helps every effort that they can do beyond that and one of those plans is to in the seems to be moving forward now is to get the boys out using scuba equipment now we now know that the special mask we've been talking about full face mask not like

that kind of scuba equipment with the regulator and separate mask on just for the eyes they are in there there's a set for the boys that are in there and they're being trained with this equipment on on land on the little bit inside the cave say correctly because they haven't gone in the water yet because the water is still the condition for the water is not yet to the point where they can actually put them in the boys in the water and start to train them that way but we know that is going on the governor within the last hour or a problem saying that it's unlikely anything is going to happen today as far as a rescue attempt conditions aren't there yet the boys don't seem to be prepared just yet obviously with that training that that's going to be the way they come out with scuba gear but also you know there needs to be water the water level to come down the governor also said that this week if things do look good the weather forecast looks probably the best it has in the last several days but obviously there's so many factors at play here a.j. and one of those that they're trying to work to iron out the details of is how they'll be taken out once they do actually get out of the cave in that's kind of

what's going on over my shoulder there's going to be another drill soon about how they're actually be extracted and transported to hospital we're hearing that their first stop will most likely be the prevention hospital in the provincial city chiang rai that will be the first stop salute come out here in ambulances and then go to have a pad helicopter there to try to take fifteen twenty minutes by helicopter and that will be their first stage once they are actually finally out of the cage you can see them wearing survival blame. kids receiving medical treatment what else is being done to make them comfortable what sort of food and supplies are they getting . initially they got gel like high caloric high energy gel to build up their systems as quickly as possible now we know that there's a constant cycle of supplies going in there we know now to the navy seal one doctor and a navy seal diver another diver are in there with them at all times and including

a nurse so there are other people then this miss in this to be rescued thirteen in with them at all times so they have someone else in there with them they have those silver survival blankets one thing they're trying to do and that we thought this is going to happen hopefully today is supposed to actually happen overnight and that's a communication line that you know they've been using communication lines kind of leapfrogging them in as the divers made progress into the cave they're trying to get that all the way to the boys and no you know they are about four hundred meters beyond poppea beach area where they originally the officials really the reason they thought they were there trying to make that last stretch from party beach area into where the boys are in the four hundred meters with this mine mostly so they can talk to the family that's one thing that's going to be very critical moving forward at this stage when all the details in the logistics of trying to get them out are being ironed out to keep their morale up to keep their health up because it's going to be very important that they're in the best health they can be when they do this

very difficult you know this is a difficult and technical dive for most experienced cave divers you've got a bunch of boys who have been stuck in there for days and days some who might not even know how to swim adrian so it's going to be a very risky and delicate process they're trying to do everything they can to get them in the best shape for that but right now the governor saying that this week he says the weather still looks ok it's got many things they don't see those can't hide of their lives in china right. at least eleven people have been killed in an ast rikon a wedding in yemen's northern sada province the saudi emraan see coalition bombed the town of gaza the casualties were mostly women and children the un has verified that two thousand two hundred children have been killed and more than three thousand injured since the conflict began more than three years ago lou the rebels have released a video showing the launch of a surveillance aircraft to monitor a saudi emirate he backed forces the armed group says it's used this technology to

press so this there were there is strong evidence and clear evidence that the u.a.e. has been committed crimes against yemenis run in secret detention kidnapping people and people who you know oppose their policies in yemen and bringing them to secret detention torture and them sexually abusing them committing all kind of violence against yemenis and so this is this is the time to end that kind of program not only that i think there is an obligation right now toward the yemeni government there is a moral legal and ethical obligation application that the yemeni government should and the brandons of the united arab emirates and yemen given the these kind of crime a lot of violations that committed by these forces in yemen so it is time to end their bread and amman jordan and israel are refusing to open the borders to thousands of refugees who fled a government offensive in southern syria the u.n.

a large number of refugees particularly from syria since the beginning of the syrian conflict it's been heartening to see many people in these countries doing what they can. to call on their governments to keep the border open and to gather food and water for syrian refugees. we call on the jordanian government to keep its borders open and for other countries in the region to step up and receive the fleeing civilians jordan's leaders say they can't cope with more refugees instead they say aid is being delivered to them across the border in syria and they say it's up to the u.n. to obtain approval from government leaders in time ask us to allow in supplies to reach our province jordan's foreign minister says the focus should be on preventing more devastation i'll be meeting with the russian foreign minister a lover of for a discussion of how we can work towards a cease fire and create conditions of the ground under which people would feel safe and also discuss the facilitation of the provision of supplies to syria and their
