a slow complex and highly paris they should dangerous for underscored by the death of a diver in the cave on friday. well the acting governor in charge of the rescue says that the weather conditions provide a window of opportunity to get the group out of this before monsoon rains return and more water flows into the underground cave system on the. right now where as ready as we can be and it's d.-day. at ten am thirteen professional cave dive is along with five navy seals into the cave to extract the children. briefed on how to do so. water expanded as a correspondent for in the ocean out near the cave complex in northern thailand very and it's been described there as d. day can you give us an update on the rescue operation at the moment.

what i can tell you that at the moment it is raining again. this is why this is all very well for the sea operations and again everyone knew that it was starting to believe there has just been a massive downpour. and still the conditions apparently passed never been as good as they're all right now there's relatively little law sat beside the case since the sun has worked for the governor the key for rescue operations this morning in a press conference that was ready to go and they started bringing in the same rescue divers those which are international divers and they are in charge of safety always out one by one and so we are expecting it gets anything goes according to plan and nothing goes wrong we might actually be able to make the search for

a time out and about five hours time that's nine pm local time here in thailand then again did you go back to operations also said that a little dish you might call is a huge problem there is still a lot of this involved. pacey say that it's still raining there at the moment or it is raining at the moment why is the operation so dangerous what other challenges are the rescuers facing. well first of all is it actually considered too dangerous to pour i should say then of you if you were also a lot of the good and it was there right now why squire also paid half uncleared though they're only making limited stretches now that the boys would have died i can sell pretty much on a pot that i could call though this is low sulfur he stayed on the essence and they want to use when their opportunity for all the heavy muslim bomb sons will take

over again to actually extract them but there's all this upon langevin they said. that this operation was was well into the next few days well we have to wait and see but they're not expecting any official updates before nine something like that in the five hours. so the rescuers are working under huge time pressure more rain is forecast and there are reports that the last oxygen level in the cave is dropping what more can you tell us about that. the latest information is that they managed to install an air hose already a couple of days ago the oxygen level he's ok it's not at the twenty percent that it usually is the best care but it is ok another problem is that the field seems level burglarizing due to the masses allows us to do that we're actually was working inside the case so this is another factor that might make things even more

dangerous than they. are and definitely the there is narrow stretches on the way that are still flooded with one of the boys that have to get through and then it basically have to get through those by themselves to there is just too arrows for any help with you to go i don't lose so i there and i said there are still some unanswered and. you just hope that in a few hours the r.c. here able to see the forest for how about is a long way to go. it's quite a tricky operation in the so many moving variables what about the health of the boys and are they all right are they in good enough shape to die that this stage. of the operation warning concerns that all the boys have been checked for help also pulled a psychological state of mind violence clearly. laid yesterday evening and

. we're going to go out and there. are people. who are already they they have they have and a lot to make in the village where you live and as it would be good getting mad like that meaning for that little teenager there that the conditions could always get more from here and there the doctor gave the go ahead and said board are an outpatient let's start very well as he did his story in. the one cave complex in northern thailand thank you very much. now to some of the other stories making news around the world the death toll from heavy rain and landslides in japan is talented more than sixty with dozens of people still missing the trench downpours have cause flash flooding across central and western parts of the country prompting evacuation orders for over two million people. hundreds of anti gun protesters shut down

host russia are out of the world cup after losing to croatia in a nailbiting penalty shoot a i'm joined in the studio by leaving her tacky from g.w. sports desk and fire world cup a correspondent all over muti who is in such a venue of that game i want to start off with you a lemur first of all and what a game it was i mean russia under and underdog playing with the attitude of a champion but at the end creation was just a number too big for them still as you said this was a nail biter why don't we take a look. to the shockley just past the half hour mark. dennys jerusha of smashing home his fourth goal of the tournament since spectacular storrow. the lead was short lived however as a dry kraemer it showed at home less than ten minutes later to level the score was . a goal the second half meant extra time and after

a short break the croatia to the laid down a rising highest for the corner two one. but russia was done mario finance has made it to wall to send the motions of penalties. and off to russia missed two of their spot kicks it came down to even rockets which and the pass along the midfielder kept his cool sending croatia into delirium. for their opponents russia their world cup is now over. whether limited croatia religions or two and they deserve that just because of their fighting spirit in the sheer quality on this team but they haven't made it easy for themselves this is the second time that they've gone into extra time into a penalty shoot out and i wonder now of all that mental and physical exhaustion if that will play a factor when they face england in the semifinal on wednesday. and let's not forget that it was agony of course for russia i'm going to turn over to ali now who's

standing by for us in at the site of the crime so to speak at how are the fans taking at ali well obviously it was a bit of a rough night for the russia fans they gave it seems such incredible support to get in my opinion i mean what's the last rush you get it was even more intense this time some of the phones were almost hysterical especially when that extra time equaliser went in for about two hours we had this phenomenal noise level it was very very loud and then suddenly it was very quiet but the russian fans took it about as well as could be expected you have to remember the expectations were through the floor before the tournament started so i think rather than being disappointed a lot of fans are really just proud of what the team achieved. and there's still plenty for them to be proud of of course but do you reckon it was just a once off. i mean this russia team let's not

forget was the lowest ranked team going into the world cup so i think it would be unlikely to see this team go on and repeat this kind of performance in the coming years i think what russia can really gain out of the performances of the russian team at this tournament is the inspiration of a generation of russian kids the kids growing up watching this tournament will want to be the next eagle rock in favor of all the next tennis cherish. they'll want to be the nation's heroes because everybody has got so swept up in this as a kid you couldn't help wants of be those people so i think that's where russia can can really look to gain from this sort of footballing perspective and they certainly did a great job i mean they kept hoping right to the very end but what about creation croatia now and looking forward they go through to the semi waiting for the end so up against the three lions against a man who had to have exceeded expectations at this chinaman england took the lead

in the after half an hour thanks to if you can get the video out. of that match yeah there you go thanks to harry require of all people who rose above the rest inside the box just for his first ever international goal and get this the three lions have netted a poor goal to come pornos this was a cup that's more than any other team and then we had more of the same in the second half across from jesse lynn got was turned in at the back post by delhi and in it now advance into the world cup semi final for the first time since one thousand nine hundred ninety year absolutely amazing a great for them i wonder are we going to have to listen to a lot of football's coming home. in the coming days and weeks from our colleagues but anyway thank you to look for us here at the studio please an email talking here is to thank you very much on ali moody reporting for us from russia thank you. if you're watching due to the news i'm out i was out of them by then do stay with
