evacuate the boys trapped in a flooded cave system officials say a rescue could come within days before monsoon rains make the flooding worse this ask the children send them families written messages telling them they're ok. i'm headed home freak glad you could join us hosts russia out of the world cup often losing to croatia and they all say penalty shoot outs i'm joined in the studio now by nick mechanic calling from d.w. . nick tell us how does this match play out biasing indeed it was very very tense a lot of back and forth it started off with russia taking the lead denis cherry chef he's the fourth goal of this tournament for him this is actually he's at his fourth international goal quite an incredible record for score the first goal for.

seven and very cram rich ten minutes later equalized for croatia so is one one that was the same for the second half and then we went into action time and all of a sudden rush creation scored again we're going to get the same name right veda increase in seconds again the two one lead and in the dying minutes fernandez doesn't sound particularly russian because actually brazilian born doesn't even speak the russian language in the coach's head that they communicate because from by playing football it's nothing they actually talk to each other properly and if they do in english but none of this nothing in russian of course they went to penalties even rocket to scoring the winner if equation to send them through to semifinal against england down to the wire painful watch really do you think at croatia deserve to win over the course of this tournament they've been incredibly tough team to play against and we would talk about this earlier the rusher were riding this wave of euphoria that they'd they remind me of germany in two thousand and six the host nation who didn't have to take the high expectations going into a tournament and somehow still made it suit in this particular case the quarterfinals germany's case was semifinals because the fans were behind them in

exactly the same here as the russia have done well to get as far as they did creation really did deserve to win this game they have played fantastic games so far at this tournament but both of course as last two games have gone to x. time and penalties which doesn't particularly well for them ahead of us i mean on wednesday this is going to add any day for russia isn't it yes absolutely i mean it's tough it was a bitter pill to swallow it's tough to see your country be knocked out of the world cup but as i mentioned beforehand because there's just such euphoria just because the fans are getting behind russia russia is not a football nation is more of a hockey nation and even lie to me putin is firing on the fans to get behind the team and there was this sudden unity that you haven't seen in russia beforehand so yes it is agony for them but on the other hand they've just done so well you know it's a lovely story anyway and tell us more about who croatia going to face that next of course that much that will be of course england on wednesday that was the game earlier on this evening weighing them played sweden in the winning two. isn't it

a mental state for england of course they've never they haven't won a quarter final of the world cup in since one thousand nine hundred m. we semifinals ninety nine course at this world cup there's a lot they will so one penalty has been so good for then this world cup this win against sweden have a look at it and then we'll talk about. england took the lead after half an hour when harry mcgwire rose above the rest of the bots to school his first ever international call the three lions have scored four goals from corners at this world cup more than any other team. in the second half they made it to with another head when a cross from jesselyn god was turned in at the back post by taught them steady adding. a few england fans ever saw their team getting this far but the players continue to exceed expectations this goal a corporation from two young and inexperienced players embodies everything that makes gareth southgate's side so good. sweden for until the final whistle and

threaten to get back into the game marcus beck a must close as anyone but some stellar stops from jordan pickford ensured that for sweden somalia was the end of the road for england meanwhile an incredible journey continues next stop moscow. i mean ahead of that match make that big quite a lot of talk about the fact that england won doing so well in terms of open play but we did see two goals one of which was school through open play in that match that you think that's going to dispel that criticism all they deserve it semifinalists i think so i mean it could be with the problem was they hadn't scored a goal from open place in the panama game at six one which of course all the other goals in the meantime coming from free kicks penalties or corners so i think that was you know they were stuck in a rut a bit when it came to this and having finally scored a goal from open play they will go to into the semifinal against croatia in the differ with a different feeling behind they will probably play differently as well so it's actually very good thing this is develop because of southgate of course the england coach he's taken the england players as young team who have very little experience

compared to what we've had in the past and he's found their strengths and that happens to be set pieces eight of the eleven goals they've scored so far have come from example situation and it's absolute massive for this team so far so yes they definitely deserve to be in the semifinal and what do you make of that chances that going on to the next match against croatia creation is going to be tough i mean they have as their tough nut to crack at this on me anyway because of course the last two games going to x. or time and penalties as well i think this team will be tired they have had more rest going into this game today but they have the shorter rest day going into wednesday it will be very hard for england to break away sure but considering that have played so far this tournament what they have achieved they haven't done in such a long time i think england or other ones and now who really are right in this way of euphoria we saw pictures earlier on from london and i think this team actually does have a chance to reach the final incredibly enough all right sports reporter nick mechanical and thank you very much for your perspective. well rescue officials in

thailand say they're approaching the best possible conditions for evacuating the twelve children and their coach trapped in a flooded cave complex and now hoping to get the boys out in the coming days before monsoon rains causing water levels to rise again many families are waiting anxiously outside the cave for news about their sons others have come to offer their own supports. buddhist monks and nuns in the entrance of the cave and which twelve boys in a sort of coach i think trapped for two weeks now. day after day they pray for the boys hoping to give them strength. the. thoughts are always with the boys we know that they can be freed very soon now. meanwhile divers work tirelessly to prepare the rescue operation. while they drill to why the passageways. water from the cave complex water levels are constantly updated at the

control center in front of the caves the. water levels are going down today declined even more and that's very significant. pressure has only increased after the death of. a former navy seal whose body was delivered to his hometown. on saturday. as the death of those expert shows diving in the cave in extremely dangerous that's why rescue plans focus on draining enough water to avoid lengthy dives. those plans come before the weather the monsoon is setting in and having nighttime downpours have already begun. if the boys are not expected in the coming days the predicted rainfall could delay the rescue for months and the worst case could fill the chamber in which they are trapped. the boys remain in good condition on saturday the first letters were delivered to the parents in another letter the coach apologized to the relatives.

and d.-w. slow vienna no she's been reporting for us from the entrance to all that cave system he sent us this update on the challenges facing the rescue us at this point . while the official who will have to give the final go ahead they're pretty much caught between a rock and a hard place all the different scenarios have their own risk. and plan a that which is still being pursued is the dive option but that is actually a very challenging route that the boys would have to pretty much make on their own . is really narrow and certain parts and those experienced seasoned rescue cave divers say it's one of the most dangerous places they have ever been in so that carries a whole lot of bread now the drilling operation is actually quite dangerous as well experts are not sure if they actually find an opening once they and they manage to

actually drills down if there is not if there is not any additional danger because this this place where the boys are trapped and right now this might collapse once they break through with a bore hole so that has its own dangers now the last option just waiting out the monsoon season this is pretty much off the table because they say even if the boys manage to stay where they are right now with enough oxygen it could just harm their health it could cause psychological problems being trapped in a dark place for so long so they don't want to wait the earth already and we just have to wait and see when any rescue mission will commence. of course one of the and now some of the other stories making news around the world. north korea's condemned the u.s. delegation for its handling of the latest round of high level denuclearization
