chaos in the u.k. as the government's top official for negotiating britain's divorce from the e.u. resigns david davis's departure is fueling turmoil within the government and raising the prospect of a the potential leadership battle we will ask what this means for breakfast just nine months before the u.k. leaves the e.u. . i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program in thailand the rescue operation to free a young football team from a flooded cave has resumed a team of international divers will guide the next group of boys through four kilometers of dark and at times tight passage ways on sunday the first four boys were extracted from the cave and taken to the hospital the latest reports say that the boys are hungry but in good. health and being kept from their families in order
11:02 am
to avoid infections the elite divers now have to replenish air tanks placed along the route before they can continue it is a six hour journey from where the boys were trapped to the entrance of the cave the team spent nine days unaccounted for before they were found perched on an elevated shelf. and for more let's bring in correspondent florian nose who has been covering the story from the very beginning and he is near that cave complex in northern thailand hello to you florian we understand that the rescue operation has resumed where do things stand right now. yes it has been officially confirmed that the rescue operation is the place to one should say of the rescue operations has started just a few hours of gold so that means the same divers that actually got the four boys out yesterday went in again to get another four boys out so we have no more
11:03 am
information that is confirmed whether they have actually reached the boys given the time frame that it takes about four to five hours to reach that end of the cave where the boys are trapped we would assume that this second batch of boys is on their way out. but meantime florrie and it rained overnight and this was something that the rescuers they fear because of rising water levels in the cave so what sort of conditions are they facing right now. while the weather remains an issue and just earlier today i was afraid i would just get soaked from the rain now i'm actually getting more of a sunburn but right now as you can see the weather conditions are perfect and just in this press conference about an hour ago the chief of the rescue operations he said that the water level in the cave laci very. goods that last night's rain even
11:04 am
though it basically rain continues to be did not effect the rescue mission in any negative way the pumps are still doing their job so water levels inside the cave a very much ok and so we're expecting the next group of boys to actually come out within the next two hours provided that nothing goes wrong but obviously. so many things can still go wrong florian how about the techniques that they are using in order to extract these boys what more can you tell us about them. well rescued steve told us that they want to go with the same procedure that they used yesterday so basically just to rescue divers each boy one up front one behind. the boys are on a rope so they basically just have to cling to that rope. that we're seeing differences alternatives that might. work or they might not
11:05 am
it's very difficult to say most of the terms of that i have seen they're still too big to actually fit through those most narrow passageways inside the cave so no matter what gadgets people might come up with they have never been tested in any kind of circumstance that even remotely resembles what we have to deal with here so i'm not really for seeing those gadgets to come into effect especially not as long as the procedures that has been working so well yesterday keeps on working and paying its risky though no matter which way you cut it and florian with the very latest on this cave rescue operation which where we understand has resumed there in northern thailand florian thank you so much for bringing us up to date. on alex get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world the japanese government says that at least one hundred people are dead or presumed dead . after heavy rains and mudslides in recent days rescuers dug through mud and

davis was very much a hard liner davis clashed frequently and publicly with his european union counterpart michel barnier they despite putting a positive spin on their strained relations. the joint says. the devices. undoubtedly be challenging times ahead of us in the negotiations we will do all we can deliver a deal the best interests of citizens explaining why he quit david davis says he fears to reason may's approach will leave the u.k. in a weak negotiating position with less than nine months to go until britain leaves the e.u. this high profile ministerial departure will be seen as a significant setback and for more let's bring in correspondent barrett mass who has the latest from london and in brussels barbara vehicle is joining us and
11:09 am
barrett i'd like to begin with you because david davis has just been speaking about his resignation what's he gets in say. well he said that the reason may was a good prime minister and that she deserves the support and he doesn't want to see father did resignations he doesn't want to see her toppled he said he did not deliberately set out to weaken it was just a matter of his own conscience that was what was agreed on friday maybe not agreed but rather imposed on him that's probably his perception that he just could not live with that that he would had to deliver a brecht's that he just did not fully support that he had no other choice but to go however we all know we'll see what this what this what comes out of it and if there are other resignations and barbara how is brussels looking on at this because i mean this is just the latest twist and turn the latest turmoil in u.k.
11:10 am
prime minister teresa mayes government. there's mounting horror of course in brussels because there had been a little bit of hope on friday that this peace to peace talks and checkers could have delivered and could have held up to get negotiations going again now the problem the e.u. has is that there is at the moment nobody to talk with even if somebody you will be nominated rather quickly it will be difficult to pick up where david davis are only rather than the sharper after reason may have taught have left talks and also they don't know what they have to talk about what is the basis and now a closer. the problem that brussels has been aware of for months is that the british government has negotiated itself within its own ranks and not with the e.u. and so there are stuck here in brussels the same way that was stuck to the right
11:11 am
road three months ago and we know that the prime minister and her cabinet i mean they did agree on a break they planned just on friday and so barbara i'd like to ask you how is that being received in brussels. cautiously of course said nobody wanted to sort of wipe it off the table immediately so there were friendly responses to yes we will look at the detail of the proposal and then we will sort of talk about it and we will read begin negotiations bought of course behind the scenes it was clear that this again looked like cherry picking that britain wanted pieces of the single market and pieces of the custom union and sort of made make up out of that sort of custom made solution for a british e.u. relationship something that the european side has always said is not doable and so that's thing has really changed we're still stuck at the point where the british side doesn't have a clear negotiating position and where the details simply can't be talked about because nobody knows what's on the table and in the meantime of course there are
11:12 am
questions about the stability of the government to tell us. get. there's theresa may need to fear any further resignations. i think all bets are off for example boris johnson the foreign secretary has been awfully quiet over the weekend a lot of the cabinet have not really come out and have made open open statements so we know that there are grumblings in the party we know of some bricks leaning m.p.'s who have come out and said that they don't and they're not happy with what's been agreed however the question is will it be enough to trigger a leadership condo's and in fact if the top of the prime minister is a lot of people will be asking themselves is that a good idea only nine months ago there is a deadline of a few months for the next important deadline in the process of negotiation so is it really a good idea to change the whole leadership team. in london and barbara faisal in
