9:03 pm
next phase of the operation and what about and we will continue the rescue operation when we are ready we need to lay out all the air tanks along the way again what we have used up everything we had today only some ninety divers are taking part in thirteen separate medical teams have been lined up one for the coach and one for each of the twelve boys bringing them out will be a long and painstaking process each trip will take around six hours. and it i will use ophelia no she has been reporting from the scene for us he sent us his assessment of a momentous day. it is the air. end of an extraordinary and very long day here in the north of thailand early this morning we were presented with an official timeline of when the first voice would actually be extracted from the cave then all of a sudden we hours prior to this original timeline we first heard only rumors and
9:04 pm
a few hours later the official confirmation that four boys have actually been able . to get out of this cave they are in stable health conditions they have been transferred to the provincial hospital about sixty kilometers away from where we are right now and the mood here in this makeshift press camp as well as anywhere around has been very very enthusiastic for the last few hours this news that they actually made it stows for boys really was met with grades searing and so one can safely say that the first stage of this rescue mission has been a success now what we mustn't forget is that even though four boys hours nine are still trapped in the cave and as you can see it is raining right now and it is
9:05 pm
still a race against time and weather so this daunting mission here in the north of thailand is far from over. it has been used for million reporting that will to understand more about this arduous mission which joined on the line by ed sorenson he's a veteran diver and a regional coordinator of the international underwater cave rescue and recovery organization thank you for coming on the program now the thought of teaching children to dive in in a matter of days seems extraordinary what would they learn before they attempt to leave the cave complex. well there's no way to tell there's a lot that has to go into teaching somebody to dive in an overhead environment for scuba certified or that i need know how to swim. then you need to get experience in the open water where the wrong servers than the star caverns yet of the years of
9:06 pm
age and a good number of hole in the water to get to that point then each segment along the way there's for ever introduction of this. and even after all that all that training where each get a little more training learn a little bit more safety procedures on how to be some of the things are going to need you still wouldn't be repaired or ready for what they have to go through so giving a crash course like this is unbelievably dangerous and. it just shows the resilience and the boys to be a little bit of training. and sensitive never even been in the water and never had to go underwater getting through something this dangerous is. that as somebody who has taken part in many rescue diving missions just self i'm
9:07 pm
wondering what kind of thing goes through your mind as you undertake a mission like this. well there's just so many hazards that can come into play and usually one or two of them i mean to each it is an incident and every case is different every recipe is different every recovery different. so at least on this one they're in passages each one of the recipes i had to do they were really water caves so everything had to be done instantaneous and there was no chance or time to think about the next step or what to do i don't think i'd be done to me i mean it does appear that this team of about ninety dive is a very well equipped and prepared i mean what is key to a mission like this there's absolutely no way to tell there's so
9:08 pm
many factors that they're having to deal with constant threat from mother nature on how much rain going to one of the water levels going to do where the oxygen level where the c o two levels. the restrictions along the way there is just so much that goes into that. the team that they have and so i have that information they're making the best decisions remember you always want to make decisions that are going to be safe not hurt all right ed sorenson regional coordinator of the international underwater cave rescue and recovery organization great to have you with us thank you. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the walls the natives of ethiopia and eritrea have agreed to end decades of conflict and reopen diplomatic times it was the first meeting between leaders of the african neighbors in nearly

9:10 pm
the quarter finals of the world cup in russia are done and dusted so that's going to round up of all the results well on saturday croatia beat russia off to a thrilling penalty shootout and england defeated sweden in friday's quarter finals france got the better of year ago i am belgium east past brazil that means that the semifinals and now set france will be a battle a belgian in st petersburg on choose day and croatia will face a glint in moscow on wednesday. well then time to take stock i'm joined in the studio by former professional footballer found in jail he's now head of international relations and scouting the bundesliga side hoffenheim great to have you with us today now it was an incredible match between the hosts russia of course and croatia on saturday crow i have coming out on top can they go all the way what do you think you think they played
9:11 pm
a brilliant tournament so for loop expression in the group stage very strong for looking at the last two games in the knockout stage they did have their problems they had to go all the way in the penalty shoot out twice but yeah i mean they have a brilliant squad looking at motor and drug at the realm of very personal absolutely world class players and also the a taking side this month who could have their city beach looks very very strong so i think yes they do came through in the way but it's a very difficult game of course against informing you absolutely you know talking about that much against england in the seventy finals here sweden of course what do you make of gareth southgate's side. well i'm very surprised positively surprised i think so skate really is the key factor that the three lions doing that well you know it's a mix between experience and very very young players england for a long time seem to have a goalkeeper we speak for really doing well i think it was always one of these issues in english football that the goalkeeper makes mistakes at the world cup level so far as absolutely outstanding but of course hurricane delhi require all
9:12 pm
very interesting players top class players and i think england is for me know in a shape where they really can win the title all right well let's take a look at the other side of the jaw we've got from south facing belgium belgium who got past brazil what makes the belgian so dangerous over meets at the moment the best counter-attacking team in the world it's speed from a blue car could have so much temple on the wing specially when they win the ball in midfield to go directly up and actually counter-attack. they're really cold brazil very very cold and i really had brazil on the list to win the world cup but the belgians had the exact right tactic and i think also martinez as a head coach doing a brilliant job really working on a different kind of tactic and i think he transformed the belgium side not just him to see could favorite now the team which can challenge for the title that said france looked equally convincing against argentina and uruguay is this something
9:13 pm
that you can see and france is all snow which looks to be their weapon of choice very young but very very solid i think the mix between old and young players is perfect. one of the most interesting players griezmann an absolute work last place but for me county in midfield he stick effective because he's the balance he's filling all the rooms all the spaces he runs the socks off and he's just the guy which is maybe the key factor against belgium side which is expression be on the side of the counter to take the injury so county will be the guy who will close that down and i think it's a very open game fifty fifty i can't pick a favorite all right but it has been an incredible wild cup so far of enjoyed every moment that you have any moments that were just your favorite yes i think the whole situation where russia was like the laughingstock of their own country nobody had them on the list to actually go anywhere and suddenly the whole country is behind
9:14 pm
them they performed outstanding church yourself did a great job but i think russia became a footballing country during that vote cup and i think that was true in the stadium the way the stadiums of built the whole world cup so far is a fairy tale and i'm actually very very proud that russia menage the despite all the critics that it take before the tournament well that fairy tale is of course at this time around so here's your pick to lift the trophy i would go for england because i have a bit of england in my heart so let the three lions actually win the title they were waiting for a long long time write me six why is this fantasy have thank you very much indeed. and a reminder now of the top story we're following for you the first four boys have emerged in life from a flooded cave in a time until forty's rushed them to hospital off they spent over two weeks on the ground a team of international divers will resume efforts to rescue the rest of the grief off the halting operations overnight. and. you're watching the w.
