a lot of dangerous and it was a very difficult call to make for the authority to give the go ahead to this rescue operation because they knew it was very risky and very dangerous but they had to do it because at one stage of course the weather was giving them not much more time to delay it there was a lot of predictions of perhaps a product coming in the next few days and also this morning it was already a very bad writer and there was a very high risk that the water levels in the cave would go up again and make it a lot more dangerous for the boys to come out so they had to make this call and they did it and the boys who had no experience with diving let alone cave diving some of them couldn't even swim they had to go through this very narrow very narrow gateway which at some point was only like forty centimeters you can not imagine how scary that must have been it was completely dark very murky water and they had to go move themselves through that and the boys and their coach have been proven

extremely resilient condom adjenda have been in the cave for ten days without even knowing they would ever be rescued then they had to wait for a whole week if they could actually be rescued through this very dangerous gateway and then they had to cave dive something they've never done before and of course the whole world and also high. especially phyla as now a big sigh of relief here everyone is very relieved that this has and so well. donald trump's government says it's complying with a court deadline to reunite migrant toddlers with their families u.s. officials say seventy five of the one hundred two children under the age of five who is separated from their parents are eligible for unions and of those thirty eight likely to be back with either them or their father by the end of the day

a judge how did posed a deadline of choose day for the government to ensure that all of those children were back with that relatives speaking to reporters at the white house earlier the president pushed back against court rulings opposing his administration's migrant to tension policies are average or should people not from your joint dream illegally that you sure should go from to our drudgery illegally comply shows that people do come legally. she joins us live from washington now she joins us live from washington now and so we're hearing that just thirty five of the children who are under the age of five are going to be reunited with their families by the end of the day shihab but what about the other children. right there we go to be careful about all these numbers a lot of numbers have been flying around in the last couple of hours first of all we have a government press conference a government conference call where they said of the some one hundred children under

five in their care they say about around seventy five are eligible to be reunited with their parents today tuesday in the u.s. because they passed all the various background checks and all the other all the other checks however they're only going to manage thirty four by the end of tuesday for already having been reunited with their parents before tuesday they keep on stressing look this is about we have to do the verification it's about the safety of the child we're not going another child to be taken custody by someone who is unsuitable for the child and so on but just soon after that government press conference the court resumed in san diego that initially mandated this deadline and that judge was not having it he said as far as he's concerned sixty three children need to be reunited by the end of hugh's day and if they're not then the government has to give a very good reason why not have to submit that to the court and that can be contested by the a.c.l.u. and the a.c.l.u. can tell the judge what it feels what punishment the judge should give the

government for not complying with a deadline if it's found that they weren't acting in good faith so this is all very much in motion the judge says you better have sixty three reunited children by the end of tuesday the government saying it'll only manage thirty four on tuesday but they're saying look we're just doing it with the best interest of the child the judge has now said all saying you're not going about this in the correct way the process you're using to try and reunify these children is a process that was meant for unaccompanied children who come to the border and then a sponsor appears in the u.s. and says look i will take that child into my custody the judge says that's not the appropriate way of doing this now because this is back to front these a children who came with their parents and these parents simply want their children back so you don't have to go through all these lest you have to delay. see the reunification as much as you are and they want all streamlined knowledge in that ice already you have some some processes in place to ensure the safety of the child

but the government was humming and hawing about that but the point is if i don't manage to get sixty three children reunited the government better have a good reason for that and better spell out their reasoning on thursday to the a.c.l.u. who will then come on friday into court and say i've the government was acting in good faith or it wasn't and needs to be punished all right thank you very much with all the latest on that story. in washington. well belgium and france are at a standstill right now as millions of people watch their football team's back lays out for a place in the world cup final in russia the nations are playing in the first of the two semifinals instant pages bug with their zero with or award a meeting with the meeting england or croatia in sunday's final belgium have never

made the final waltz francois champions back in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight france have just got a go ahead to early in the second half so that's the latest we have correspondents with fans in paris and in the belgian city of and to up first so let's start with who's with french fans in paris natasha. whatever you can hear behind the. war of the crowds in just a few minutes ago some really in d.c. scored a problem snicker went to the world as you can imagine because just a few moments before the parents everyone just dreamily tens of thousands in the bank worried because they'd gotten right through that person without to go but i was just talking to the parents of the holder said that they felt pretty worried that it's france doesn't score in the next couple of them maybe

a little bit lost but that won't change the last few minutes just go into that abrasions and start to get close to someone so we still have quite a lot of time before the crowds want to hear is the problems to get through this to get into the final that hasn't happened since two thousand and six because they are very big that this team one of the youngest in the world cup to take the gold away to the final and to win because they have not that's just. all right thanks very much natasha that winter fans you are a chairing in paris while also many people out in force in the belgian city of angela paul brennan is that for us also not a lot of cheering going on that pole they will be looking to try and get to the final for that team but they must be a bit disheartened. well i mean it was a bit of a chair when they had the restart after that goal it's clear that the fans here have not given up on the team just yet don't forget the round of sixteen they went to no down to japan and belgium came back and won the match three two of course

japan are from so different propositions it's going to be aha to hold out to regain the lead against france but nevertheless the cons here haven't given up hope they certainly hope that it's not going to be a repeat of mexico nine hundred eighty six the last time the bronze star the belgium got into the world cup semifinal and they lost two nil that's on argentina but to tell the truth the goal was coming i mean belgium it's been really good for the first thirty minutes. of drama left on saw they were pressing them against the poles and with their fronts in the last fifteen minutes of our first off came very much doc into it a full some small saves on the belgian people so when the goal went in after fifty one minutes it frankly was no surprise france all there on the in the ascendancy right now all right thanks very much for the latest from holbein in that with al-jazeera much more still ahead on the program. a life. after all you don't have

has taken them this long to verify that they have no links whatsoever to book around fighters in the northeast of nigeria and of course the neighboring countries between two thousand and seventeen and this year hundreds of them in fact thousands of these children have been released by book or by the nigerian security forces because they were found out to be not connected to book out of fighters and so there was no need to sort of keep them in administrative custody they wandered over to the united nations children's fund unicef and social welfare offices in butler state my degree now they're going to undergo a long process of rehabilitation before they are fully really integrated into the society. wife of the chinese dissident a nobel peace prize winner new job who died last year as arrived in germany after being freed from eight years of house arrest usia flow from beijing to berlin via the finnish capital helsinki she will receive medical treatment in germany husband
