school boys and their football coach from a flooded cave in northern thailand has resumed at least drivers brought divers excuse me brought out the first four on sunday they are said to be in good health but are being kept from their parents for now as they're monitored for infections the man in charge of britain's think r.c.a. sions to leave the e.u. has resigned brags that secretary david davis says he cannot abide by the government's current departure strategy the japanese prime minister shinzo abbay has cancelled a four country trip after to wrench the reins killed at least one hundred people evacuation orders are in place for nearly two million people and multiple landslide warnings have been issued its. germany's chancellor is hosting the chinese premier in berlin talks between angela merkel and leaky chang will focus on trade particularly the trumpet ministrations new tariffs on both china and the e.u. dominic cain following the story joining us from berlin to talk us through the significance of this meeting. but during the point to make here is that
6:04 pm
these two countries now find themselves effectively united in their opposition to the decisions that the trumpet ministration has taken not just in terms of trade although about very important but also in other foreign policy areas specifically regarding the nuclear deal with the roman was agreed by the p five plus one group but then also on environmental protection remember that the trumpet ministrations decision to repudiate several of the accords that were agreed by the obama administration as as well. say it finds these two countries now the interests of beijing and of berlin coinciding in terms of trade trade with china was worth two hundred thirty billion dollars for germany last year ten percent rise on the previous year so you have a very clear sense that these two countries do indeed have this strength of interest bring them together and indeed bring them into opposition with donald trump's administration so clearly this will be
6:05 pm
a very interesting development to watch out for there will be a news conference in the next few hours obviously trade the key issue here but what else might they be discussing. well where to go next in sin so far as environmental protection that something clearly that these two countries share a strong interest in as i said earlier also regarding the deal that was signed with iran the p five plus one remember the permanent five security council members of the united nations plus germany in that deal with iran we know that they both these leaders want to retain that accord with tehran both trying where possible to keep terror on on the inside as it were a vatican eamonn so watch out for when this news conference comes along for obvious references to trade but clearly also these elements one final thought they're not entirely in unison angela merkel clearly believes there are still issues that china
6:06 pm
has to come to terms with regarding its approach to human rights that something that the german government takes a pride in in in promoting more human rights greater human rights in china so perhaps that is one area of dislike but clearly on many serious policies now these countries really do see eye to eye all right donna cane giving us the update from berlin thank you two journalists have been ordered to stand trial in myanmar accused of breaking the country's colonial era secrecy law here out so and wallowing. who works for the reuters news agency were arrested in december while investigating the killing of a muslim or a hinge or face pleaded not guilty and say police planted evidence on them. why did we have whistle blew on human rights violations and corruption in russia and state by following journalism ethics because of that we face trial where maybe only when the police act unjustly we have to investigate it that's why we can say we've acted according to journalism ethics florence louie has more from kuala lumpur. the two
6:07 pm
reuters journalists have been charged under the official secrets act which carries a maximum penalty of fourteen years in prison the case will now go to a full trial which means it could be several weeks possibly even months before a final verdict is given now the defense lawyer had argued that this case ought to be thrown out because the prosecution failed to prove that these men are a threat to national security that the so-called secret documents they had on them were already in the public domain the court also heard testimony from a police witness that a senior officer had ordered his subordinates to plant the documents on one of the reporters to trap him yet these two men have been charged now and there are several things troubling about this case apart from the circumstances of these journalists arrest one concerns the issue of press freedom these two men have been arrested they've been denied bail since their arrest in december for simply doing their jobs
6:08 pm
as reporters the second concerns what's happening in rakhine state as some rights activists put it these two reporters have been locked up for trying to expose the truth about what's happening there where the myanmar military has launched a crackdown since august twenty fifth causing more than seven hundred thousand ethnic minority to flee to bangladesh to escape persecution the u.n. itself has described the crackdown as containing elements of genocide as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. yet the myanmar government and the military continues to deny or downplay the seriousness of what's happening in rakhine state and its human rights watch puts it the authorities in myanmar appear to be falling back on an old tactic of locking up those who are trying to tell the truth there are reports of another israeli attack on an airbase with a large iranian presence in syria's homes province syrian state media say the military struck an israeli fighter jet and shot down six missiles targeting the t
6:09 pm
four air base israel isn't commenting on the reports but has carried out dozens of air strikes on iranian targets in recent years before air base was also targeted back in april with syria iran and russia all blaming israel else where the syrian government has begun targeting rebel held areas of the city that's the spider russian brokered cease fire agreed to on friday the united nations is calling for unrestricted access to the southwest province to deliver aid to tens of thousands of people it says are desperately in need the fighting has displaced more than three hundred thousand civilians in the past two weeks that's the largest exodus of the seven year war xina hood has more from beirut in neighboring lebanon. according to a nation tens of thousands of people who were seeking shelter close to the jordanian border have now returned to their homes but there is little information as to what has happened to them they have returned to areas that are now under the control of
6:10 pm
the government but according to reports a few hundred men stayed behind because they fear arrest there's really a lack of international guarantees or presence of international organizations on the ground to comfort many many of the millions tens of thousands of people are still camping out close to the border they have not returned to their homes and many of them are opposition activists or members of rebel run administrations people who if they return to government controlled territory could face arrest or person. and this is the real problem we hear reports of deals fire deals and that some rebel factions are agreeing to surrender but at the end of the day it is the lack of security guarantees coming from the international community that makes people fear returning to areas that are now under the government's control now the government pushing ahead with its campaign it has consolidated its control of the international highway it has taken more territory close to the border with jordan
6:11 pm
and it has now laid siege to the rebel controlled areas of the provincial capital city really putting more pressure on the remaining rebel factions to surrender and now there are reports that russian drones are flying over the western countries as well as over rebel controlled territories in the neighboring province of connector clearly a sign that the pro-government camp will push ahead with its military offensive if the remaining rebel factions refuse to surrender news just coming in from india that's where the supreme court has upheld the death penalty for three men convicted of the gang rape and murder of a young woman in new delhi in twenty twelve the men petitioned that the penalty be refused by a panel of three judges dismissed stands a long time regional rivals ethiopia and eritrea have agreed to restore diplomatic relations and open the border between them they're also planning to develop ports on eritrea's red sea coast the decisions were announced during

see tough questions like this what comes to mind how do you respond before how global of. al-jazeera is this program. around the globe. this is. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm dan is coming up in the next sixty minutes while progress in thailand as rescue workers free another football player trapped in a flooded cave. a new crisis for the british government is the man in charge of the
6:49 pm
bricks at the gate see asians quits. because he miramar charges two journalists with violating state secrets for reporting on mass graves in record state. more than one hundred people killed in floods and landslides that have devastated large parts of japan. but we start this news with significant developments coming out of thailand one more boy we understand is now being brought out safely from inside that flooded cave system and we understand he is now in the field hospital that is on site and the elite team of divers a bringing out three others from the flooded cave. where they have been trapped for more than two weeks now they may remember on sunday the first four of the twelve young boys in their coach were rescued and they're said to be in good health thai
6:50 pm
officials say they are being kept from their parents for now as they're being monitored for infection al-jazeera correspondents are in chiang rai tracking those developments closely step vassili very close to the spot where the rescue missions underway and scott scott is closer to the hospital where the first four rescued boys are being treated let's talk to step first so very good positive news one other boy we understand has now come out of this cave system and with the possibility of three more being rescued. yes absolutely very good news sources are telling al-jazeera that that's the case one of them is now in a field hospital one is in the mouth of the cave about to come out and two artists are still a little further away still no official confirmation on this second to rescue so far and it sounds also like a very speedy recovery because we only knew an hour ago that at eleven o'clock this
6:51 pm
morning a group of dive for rescuers have had gone back in and it's only five hours after they got in that this is the first boy has emerged from the cave which is technically a very short time if you calculate that the authorities have always said it took five hours for the dive rescuers to get to the spot where the boys were trapped so it's not clear the details are still have yet to emerge from how this rescue the second rescue has been done there's also some speculation that this group of boys might have been closer to the mouth of the cave already and that's why they came out so quickly because we weren't expecting them until seven or nine o'clock this evening which is still four more hours from now all right thank you for that service in who is very close to the mouth of this cave system now we can speak to scott hyder our correspondent scott and said that you're about sixty kilometers away from lisette is and you're closer to the town center where these boys are
6:52 pm
receiving treatment in the hospital and there's been an update as to condition. yes exactly mark you know we're in the provincial capital of chiang rai it's about about an hour's drive quite honestly from where step vasant is in the mouth of that cave and this is where the four boys who were pulled from that cave on sunday are in hospital now it depends what we saw yesterday sunday and we'll be seeing this probably unfolding over the next couple of hours depends on the severity of the condition of the boys how they go from the cave are brought from the cave to here to chang right venture capital and to go into the hospital we know that at least one boy yesterday was medivac here we assume because of his condition but getting an update from the commander of the rescue mission earlier today he says that the boys are in good condition and something that that's a little bit interesting is that they have not seen their parents yet they're very concerned they say officials of infection and anything passed from parents or
6:53 pm
anybody not in this sterile environment where these four boys are being passed on to them we're hearing that they're trying to work out a situation where maybe they can see them through glass that has not happened just yet but right now we do know the four boys who are here in shanghai parental capital are doing well at that according to the commander and obviously you know once we get the condition of these other boys coming out misstep vasant was reporting them we'll see how they're brought here to chang represents a couple is it helicopters again are they ambulances we know that some of the boys on sunday were brought by ambulance so i have to see how that unfolds but right now the condition of the boys the first time we've ever heard anything about any detail about their condition coming out just a couple of hours ago and that the commander of the rescue operation saying that they're in good condition so that's good hyla there in chiang rai. four of the boys being treated in hospital there now let's move on and the british government official in charge of the u.k.'s the nation's to leave has resigned
6:54 pm
david davis quit said country just after prime minister to resign may announce she was going to take a. cabinets planned for leaving the european union to brussels in his resignation letter davis rate that the current policy would leave the u.k. in a weak negotiating position mrs may has struggled to unite factions within her governing conservative party over exactly how the u.k. will proceed with its departure well tourism is just appointed a new official to head. let's go live to lawrence the our correspondent there who's outside the houses of parliament and lawrence so the government mrs may has moved very quickly to replace david davis is this a virt the political crisis for her. no not at all it's feels a bit like to use a sort of a weather metaphor after you have weeks of incredibly sort of hot and humid weather and sun is
6:55 pm
a gigantic thunderstorm and you know thunder and lightning and all that kind of stuff and whole thing breaks it does feel politically like that because for so many months now the reason may has judiciously avoided taking a decision or making having a position either on leaving the european union completely with every last base or trying to have some sort of arrangement that satisfies those who don't want to leave and eventually she said that's the side she's going to go down on and all these hardliners have said we can do this is a betrayal of the referendum and that's what's led to david davies his resignation the guy says appointing his place is also a pretty hard line breaks or as well and so in that sense it looks as if she's still trying to appease that side of the party but make no mistake on the real hard line the knives are now out for her and what they're trying to decide is at what point they try to launch a leadership contest against her to bring her down it looks like it won't be in the immediate future the chronology going forward is that she presents this new idea in
6:56 pm
the government paper on thursday and then thanks to the brussels next week as part of in the goes haitian but if but if brussels says yeah great let's go for that then they could at that point i think in the weeks after that say we're going to try to hold a vote of no confidence in because these people say the country voted to leave the european union and now they're now the government to stay off in it and it was just a couple of days ago wasn't it lawrence that there was a huge amount of celebration in the u.k. this is may presenting had cabinet plan which. was presented as a victory for the plan that she was prepared to take to brussels is that now in question. i know that that plan is still there that the plan the european union had rejected the two previous plans and so this plan that reason may came up with and said she had cabinets approval for this idea of collective responsibility if you don't like it you accept it which says the u.k.
