lopez obrador has vowed to crack down on corruption. and more drama in russia after a nail—biting match against belgium — japan are knocked out of the world cup. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday. good morning. it's 8am in singapore, one o'clock in london, and 7am in chiang rai where late at night came the extraordinary news that 12 boys and their football coach, missing for nine days in a cave, had been found alive. divers have been trying to reach them for days after water levels rose suddenly, trapping the boys. the discovery came after a marathon search opperation in the tham luang caves. helped by reducing the water level, rescuers first managed get from the cave entrance to set up an operation base in an area called

‘chamber 3'. eventually divers reached a cavern known as pattaya beach where it was thought the missing had sheltered but the area was found to be flooded. divers then went 400 metres further into the cave. it was here the boys were found. now rescue teams must decide whether to move them back through the flooded cave using scuba gear, or attempt to pump the water out. as jonathan head reports from the tham luang caves. this was the moment they were found. the british cave diver john volanthen calling out to the missing group in a cave deep under the mountains. as the divers turned to leave, promising to return with back—up,

one of the boys says to them, "please, tell them we're hungry". for the families of the boys, a joyous end to nine agonising days of waiting, hoping and, at times, despairing. translation: today is the best day. i've been waiting for my son for so many days. i'm so excited! the first thing i will do is hug him. and for the thousands of volunteers, officials, climbers and others who've taken part in this extraordinary multinational search operation, a very special moment. most of all for the local governor, who's been the public face of this rescue and ordered officials working on it

to think of the boys as their own sons. narongsak osottanakorn described how the boys were discovered and then said simply, "we found our younger brothers, and they were safe". cheering after the jubilation at the serious challenge of extract thing challenge of extracting the boys and their coach, weakened by hunger, from caves it had taken experience divers many days to get to. but right now entire country is relishing a happy ending that had become harder and harder to believe they were all members of a football squad who'd entered the caves after saturday practice with their coach. their bicycles were found chained to the railings at the entrance. it was presumed they'd been cut off by fast rising water. the thai government has thrown everything at these efforts

to save their lives. now pumping thousands of gallons an hour from the caves to help to get them out. more rain later this week will complicate things. but this astonishing news of the boys‘ survival will surely spur everyone on. we can bring you live pictures of the rescue site in tham luang caves in chiang rai. they were found late last night and rescuers very much on the scene as you can see from some of those pictures. ricky greenwald is the founder and director

of the child trauma institute. i asked him what could be done to help the children once they are brought out of the cave. you know, most upsetting things that happen, you kind of chew them up, digest them, you grow from it, you get stronger. but some things are so big, so upsetting, so overwhelming that the only way to tolerate that is to kind of push it aside so that you can get through the day and so that is what makes something traumatic is when it is too much to stand and most of the traumas people have are from child abuse, exposure to violence, natural disaster et cetera. this is a pretty extreme experience these kids are having, being stranded in this space for so many days, not knowing what is going to happen, not having food, et cetera. you know, they are going to come back from this, it is not so different than people coming back from an intense combat experience. that you come back to what looks like the normal life you left but you do not feel normal any more.

it is a big culture shock and i think, even with good family and community support and of course medical care, it is going to be quite a challenge for these children to adjust. that's right, i mean, you describing it as coming back from combat so this is going to be a traumatizing experience. of course, they are not through it yet — they haven't got out. we know as well, there's a cultural layer to it, this is happening in thailand. what should families, communities around them be doing to help them through this process once they are rescued and presumably there will be lots of media scrutiny as well adding to the complications? there is only so much you can control a situation like this, given the publicity it has. i think families and communities have to strike a balance between, on the one hand, trying to get back to normal life as much as possible which is really comforting and,

on the other hand, acknowledging that something pretty big just happened and that we are going to have to make accommodations for people that do not feel norman yet, and that might have special needs, they might have special anxieties orfears, they might have emotional reactions that are not expected. families and communities are going to have to somehow balanced normalcy with accommodation of special needs. the other thing that i hope we are going to see is appropriate treatment. there are several really good research—supported psychotherapies for traumatized children. the best of those, in my opinion, is called emdr. and in anticipation of this interview i did check and there are quite a number of emdr—trained therapists in thailand. what about the parents, the families who have watched this so closely over the last nine days, they are going to need

help too, aren't they? that is a good question because everybody is focused on the children but it has impacted much more than the children. these are parents who presumably did not know if there'd ever see their child again. and i think they're going to be focussing on their children but they have been through it too in their own way. let's take a look at some of the day's other news. the most senior catholic figure to be convicted of covering—up sexual assualt will be sentenced today in australia. philip wilson, the archbishop of adelaide, was found guilty of concealing child abuse by a priest in the 1970s and faces up to two years in jail. hywel griffith has more from sydney. philip wilson arrives knowing he faces a very real prospect of being sent to jail today by the judge, having been convicted a few weeks ago. during previous hearings, we've heard he has shown no remorse

or contrition for his acyions of concealing the abuse of children. or contrition for his actions of concealing the abuse of children. that abuse happened back in the 1970s in this area. at that time, he was a parish priest and some victims came forward to tell him about the sexual assaults they had suffered at the hands of another member of the clergy. he did nothing then and, vitally, in the early part of this millennium, he did not tell police about the abuse when they started investigating the priest. when he was convicted, we learnt that he was the most senior catholic figure anywhere in the world to be convicted of covering up or concealing child abuse. it is not an offence in every country but it is something that rome will have to tackle. the prosecution said that he acted in order to save the reputation of the church but the reputation of that church is now at stake. philip wilson has so far refused to resign as the archbishop of adelaide, despite claiming that, on health grounds, he is too ill to be sentenced to prison. expect the sentence to be passed

in the next few hours. also this hour: new criminal charges have been brought against the disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the charges of predatory sexual assault relate to allegations by a third woman and carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. last month, the former movie mogul pleaded not guilty to rape and sexual offences involving two other women. fbi agents in the us city of cleveland have arrested a man they suspect of planning a bomb attack the fourth ofjuly holiday. demetrius pitts, who admits to supporting al-qaeda, is quoted as saying he wanted to target servicemen and women, and "to chop off hands and heads". law enforcement cannot sit back and wait for mr pitts to commit a violent act. we do not have the luxury of hoping an individual decides not to harm someone or get others to act, especially when his continued

repeated intentions were to do just that. day one of wimbeldon has wrapped up with two of tennis‘ superstars sailing through the first round. swiss top seed federer began his bid for a record—extending ninth men's title with a win over serbia's dusan lajovic. and serena williams made herfirst wimbeldon appearance since having a baby, reaching the second round. more coming up this hour in sport today. declaring he'll "extend his hand" to the us president, mexico's incoming leader vowed to work with donald trump on economic issues and fighting illegal immigration. but andres manuel lopez obrador, or amlo as he's known, made clear that tackling corruption will be his number one priority. he won sunday's election with 53% of the vote, easily defeating his nearest rivals. however, it's unclear

whether his party, the national regeneration movement, will secure a majority in parliament. the bbc‘s katty kay has been covering the election for us from mexio city. mexico now has a new president who has promised enormous things — to clamp down on corruption, to get rid of the violence. the public now needs to see whether he can deliver. like populist leaders around the world there is a gap perhaps between the promises and the reality and expectations. he has said he will get rid of waste, ged rid of the president plane, he will not live in the presidential palace, he will review whether to rebuild a new airport in mexico city. getting rid of violence is also going to be very difficult. previous presidents have tried to do that and have failed. it has arisen again in recent years. the world, not just

people in this country, people in north america and the region, will be watching to see if he can deliver. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we'll have the latest from the world cup — as the sun sets onjapan‘s dreams of a quarter final also on the programme... thousands of people turned out for hong kong's annual pro—democracy protest on sunday, and a rock song from 1993 may have provided the soundtrack for many. china marked its first day of rule in hong kong with a series

of spectacular celebrations. a huge firework display was held in the former colony. the chinese president, jiang zemin, said unification was the start of a new era for hong kong. the world's first clone has been produced of an adult mammal. scientists in scotland have produced a sheep called dolly, that was cloned in a laboratory using a cell from another sheep. for the first time in 20 years, russian and american spacecraft have docked in orbit, at the start of a new era of cooperation in space. challenger powered past the bishop rock lighthouse at almost 50 knots, shattering a record that had stood for 34 years. and there was no hiding the sheer elation of richard branson and his crew. this is newsday on the bbc.

i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. i'm babita sharma in london. our top stories: 12 boys and their football coach, missing for nine days in a cave in thailand, have been found alive. the most senior catholic priest ever to be convicted of covering up a child abuse scandal is due to be sentenced by an australian court. and this story is popular on bbc.com. it's the clearest image so far of a planet being born and it comes from the european southern 0bservatory. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. the front page of the irish times reports on the goverment‘s bid to bag themselves a seat on the un security council. they're hoping to capture the non—permanent position from 2021, but are facing some stiff competion from canada and norway.

the south china morning post says hollywood blockbusters are taking a backseat as local films grab the spotlight. domestic movies generated 60% of box office tickets this year, with 0peration red sea and detective chinatown stealing the show. the japan times reports on the royal romance between princess ayako and herfiance, which sounds a lot like love at first sight. apparently the couple hit it off immediately, and it's not hard to see why. she described kei moriya as smart, kind and decisive. quite the catch then! that brings you up to date with some of the papers. now, babita, what stories are sparking discussions online? a cctv camera in china has caught the moment when a section of the motorway collapsed.

around 50 metres of road fell away, taking trees and lamposts along too. these dramatic pictures are from the province of sichuan where authorities are investigating the reason for the collapse, but it's belived to have followed several days of heavy rain. fortunately no causalities have been reported. japan have been knocked out of the world cup after a remarkable comeback from belgium. japan were leading 2—0 well into the second half, but belgium rallied, scoring three goals in less than 30 minutes, the third goal coming in the last seconds of the match. did you see it, it was quite something? brazil won their match against mexico 2—0 and will play belgium in the quarter—finals on friday. the bbc‘s 0lly foster is following events from moscow. there were tears from the blue samurai. they've never made it into a world cup quarter—final and they were so close. no—one saw this performance coming

at all, the way that they limped out of their group. those two goals from haraguchi and inui would have set them into dreamland. but the belgian bench came to their rescue, their two substitutes among the goalscorers, nacer chadli, the matchwinner in the end at the 94th minute. the last kick of the game, practically. they could barely restart it. that is the first time since 1966 that a team has come back from 2—0 down in a knockout match to win a match inside 90 minutes. belgium perilously close to going out. the japanese knew how close they'd come. they were absolutely terrific, but they go home. belgium march on and we've a quarter—final to relish coming up in kazan on friday, because they have brazil in that tough side of the world cup draw. and brazil are looking pretty good, aren't they? as you said, playing

again on friday, belgium are through as well, what are the matches we need to watch over the coming days? i will bring you up to date, brazil beat mexico fairly easily in semara. it was goalless at half time, then neymar came to the fore, scored a goal and assisted with a second. it was just his performance with the ball, his performances over the pitch, he came in for some rough treatment, he went down many times and some was justified, but it is the theatrics that he is earning a reputation with all these histrionics. one of the mexican players was lucky not to be sent off, went to pick up the ball near neymar and trod on his troublesome foot, the one he broke a couple of months ago. neymar did play on, but my word he was writhing around. a lot of headlines regarding him and those theatrics,

but he was also the matchwinner as well. 0lly foster moscow with the latest excitement from the world cup. —— in moscow. thousands of people turned out for hong kong's annual pro—democracy protest on sunday, and a rock song from 1993 may have provided the soundtrack for many. the single boundless 0ceans, vast skies by the hong kong group beyond became a protest anthem against mainland china 25 years ago, but its writers also hope it can bridge the divide. you've been watching newsday. some breaking news from australia. the archbishop standing trial of concealing child abuse, he hasjust been sentenced to 12 months home detention after being found guilty

of that charge against him of concealing child abuse. the archbishop of adelaide philip wilson has been sentenced to 12 months home detention for concealing child abuse. he's been found guilty. the magistrate went on to say that archbishop wilson showed no morse or contrition and said catholic parishioners had been betrayed by people in the church who knew about the abuse —— no morse. we will have more on that with our correspondent in singapore, hywel griffith. —— no morse. that's all for now, stay with bbc world news. good morning. the summer of 2018 is shaping up to be quite memorable. june may be a distant memory, it looks as though the statistics will make it go down in history. this was glasgow last week, june 28 in motherwell, where we saw a high of 33 degrees. we thought that was the hottest june day on record, but it was the hottest day ever recorded in scotland. quite incredible.

it looks as though there is little in the way of significant rain in the forecast not only throughout this week but perhaps into next as well. high pressure stays with us, subtle differences. more of an easterly breeze will bring changes and it does mean that first thing in the morning there will be a bit more cloud along the north sea coast and it will be a little bit fresher as we go through the day. further west, with a little more shelter we got that warmth and those temperatures yet again are set to respond. highest values of around 27 degrees, a little bit cooler along the east coast. perhaps a little more pleasant for many. as we move out of tuesday

into wednesday, the high pressure releases its grip. there is still unlikely to be any significant rain in the forecast, largely quiet. perhaps a little more in the way of cloud around and the threat of a few sharper showers across southern england. very hit and miss but i'm sure there will be welcome news for gardeners and growers out there. as a result of that cloud, temperatures are degree or so down. looking at a high of 20—26 degrees. still a dry story into thursday for most of us, but a weather front, something we've not seen for some time, introducing more in the way of cloud across the northern isles into the western scotland and maybe northern ireland but no significant rain in the forecast. maybe a few isolated showers and the risk of a few showers just threatening across the far south. the highest values still of 17—28 degrees, 82 fahrenheit. the wind direction looking likely to change again as we move towards the weekend and that will allow those temperatures to climb, with more of a southerly 29 or 30 degrees not out of the question again somewhere in the south.

the high pressure establishes itself as we move out of the working week into next weekend. that means that things stay dry, settled and relatively sunny. if you haven't already got the message, it looks likely that the rest of the week will stay quite sunny, very warm for many with little in the way of significant rain. take care. you're watching bbc world news. our top story: rescuers have made contact with twelve boys and one adult, who've been trapped in a flooded cave system in thailand for nine days. the youngest of the group is just eleven years old. rescuers are now trying to work out how best to bring them to safety: they'll need to dive through flood—water to get out of the caves. the most senior catholic priest ever to be convicted of covering up a child abuse scandal has been sentenced to 12 months home detention by an australian court. and a rare glimpse of a new planet has emerged. it's the clearest image so far of a planet being born and it comes from the european southern 0bservatory. it shows a new planet, forming around a dwarf star. no romantic names, though — the star is called pds 70 stay with bbc world news.
