a hospital in the city of shanghai just a few hours ago there were saving medical care but are said to be in good condition the boys aged eleven to was sixteen years old spent over two weeks deep inside the cave living a nightmare after water sealed off there were turn routes the last week or sadly a tired diver lost his life in the cave while making preparations for the perilous rescue. mission which has come to a successful conclusion and the governor of chiang rai a province was clearly pleased with the success of this extremely difficult rescue mission they took in the no one thought we could do it but we did it it was a first for the world thanks to the thai people government agencies and the private sector. all right today daniel koch is standing by for you he is right outside that hospital where the boys have been whisked off to and are being

taken care of daniela good to see i mean it's been just a her rule week rescue we've all been watching in trepidation but now the attention is shifting to the boy's health how are they doing. yes well exactly what i can share with you that that's what we heard also here from the governor and also during a press conference a little bit earlier that the boys are actually doing pretty good of course we have to remember that they were four days in this cave without food also which is very limited access to a water we have been learning that they don't have any kind of fever they can also speak very well so no issues there though we were hearing that two of them have been a little bit dealing a little bit suffering offer a minor annoyance and that's what we're hearing here in this hospital on the eighth floor this is just the floor that is reserved for the boys and also for their coach

we're also hearing that there was a boy who has been having some issues with blood pressure he has been receiving the medication but yes you mentioned that in general this is a completely kill that we have been seeing here throughout the last days i was talking a little bit earlier to reporter here also from a tie in national television she told me when she was assigned to this story she was a very very warrior and that she was a fearing the end that she would be reporting about dead bodies right and now talk to us about this heroic rescue mission i mean i've never seen anything like this i mean this is state of the art. oh yeah exactly i mean really and we have to remember that this is really a joint international team that was working here and when you really talk to experts they are telling me that this was indeed the right decision that the thai

government already from the beginning was saying we are not going to do this just on our own although we are also asking volunteers a very experienced divers for example from denmark from the u.k. to help us here in this operation and i mean seriously i mean nobody here in the city of shanghai was thinking that this would go as smooth as we have seen it happening in the last days danielle cope reporting from outside the hospital where the boys are being cheated currently thank you for your continued coverage. and we're going to shift our attention now to our other lead story the widow of the chinese nobel peace prize laureate lose how bo has arrived in germany after authorities allowed her to leave china usual had been kept under near total house arrest without formal charges since twenty ten when her husband an advocate for democratic change was awarded the prestigious prize beijing of you view shah as an

accomplice to her husband's activities for years she had been pleading to be allowed to leave and live in exile already reported key bridie is on this story for you and at the airport where you show has just landed or at least a short while ago ok so did you were you able to speak to her did you see her. exactly she arrives here just next to me down on the runway that just an hour ago you are and she wasn't actually able to speak to any press and was quickly huddled away into a dock and vehicle where she will no doubt be now going to seek medical attention of course that is what chinese authorities are saying she is in germany for but of course it is thought that the german chancellor angela merkel has played a very pivotal role in the decision to release her of course are going to merkel

has called on several occasions for her these and also has been three days before his death just a year ago and of course as germany is now seeking to develop its economic ties with china as well merkel has also made it clear that then is also keen to hold bilateral meetings with beijing in beijing also on human rights all right to kill radio reporting from the tarmac thank you so very much and. i'd like to were welcome that mr i way way at this stage she is a very renowned chinese artist and an equally renowned human rights activists who spent more than four years under house arrest in china a very good evening sir why do you think chinese authorities decided to release miss you shot and allow her to come to brad lamm. i think the first. six isn't which you know nobody should limit her rights on the she has been

sorry putting all surprised of for so many years which is such a dreadful situation and the. whole international community has been argue about this notion i should be afraid on the specialty one germany. you know chancellor so much attention about it is shas case on a made such effort in a german has being of kung constant him. you know. for a long time to to to negotiate to his chinese government about chinese political prisoners on the loose shuster it is a positive. some tint you know part of a possibly be a sign for this kind of international effort now mr i way you yourself have also been under house arrest and you fast and almost eight years in captivity

and she was never charged with a crime as you just alluded to what's it like to be and captivity for so long i think anybody including such a tyrant. under this kind of our you'll feel powerless you know feel your nobody and they you feel your rights are totally missed. you know this is a very horrifying situation nobody can help you why do you think that the chinese government considered her a threat. i don't think chinese government i wrote consider him her right but they would always say maybe it. gave us some kind. calls for. the whole no notion toward rediscuss helpless case so i said because this is what they

really avoid to undo but to day they cannot just hold her for. and there's this kind of conditions is absolutely a local situation and that was the exile chinese artist ai wei wei speaking earlier to us from bangladesh all right whatever you have to speak now as some of the other stories making news around the world. the death toll has now risen to one hundred fifty six people in japan due to flooding and landslides caused by last week's torrential rains as waters begin to recede more than seventy thousand rescue workers have been deployed in search of victims and survivors in the western part of this country it's one of japan's worst weather related disasters in decades. he was present donald trump has nominated conservative judge bret tapper not to

wished a world cup final and france on the other hand are looking for their second world cup title having won the trophy back in nineteen ninety eight. and already from the obvious fourth so will be inside the st petersburg stadium for the match but before that he is now joining us outside very tough assignment ali but somebody has got it there were the two countries are named players how big is their rivalry. of course these two countries share so much in terms of their history in terms of language and of course in terms of culture which includes sports and it's been a couple of pertinent examples of this guy over the last couple of days so he's been doing the rounds on social media of the belgian captain. and his brother told on who's also in the squad. when they were kids wearing fronts french french fans in particular having

a lot of fun with not one but one of the footballing legends t.r.e. only he won the world cup with him back in ninety eight ninety eight he is the belgian assistant coach in the french coach did a short as even referred to him as the enemy in the build up to this much so you can see there's a lot of going to national pride state here in this game. a lot of professional pride as well for the players these have been the two best teams of the tournament in my opinion and now they want to prove now each team wants to prove that they are the best so there's really a lot riding on this game from a professional point of view and of course in terms of bragging rights a lot of bragging rights what about belcher and what you think you will look to exploit in this game well belgian strategy should be pretty quick i mean they've done one thing particularly well about this tournament and score goals they've scored more goals than any other team at this world cup in fourteen and you can see why with the players that they've got they've got romelu lukaku a great striker in top form to really get attacking midfielders as well and having

a brilliant and in as a captain so it's going to be very tricky for france but they themselves have a very good defense they get three clean sheets of this tournament already and have some very talented attacking players themselves in the likes of greece man and of course so it's going to be a really interesting match up tonight all right twenty seconds ali two teams hungry to win what will be decisive in this match up in st petersburg tonight. i think the t.v. belgian players that i just mentioned in midfield to broil if they can escape the french defense advance midfielder. and really get time and space on the ball i think that will tip it and belgium's favor but it comes as a good day then that will give france a huge advantage that midfield battle ground the real spot to watch tonight. right ali thank you so very much catch up with you later aren't you watching t w news we still have a lot more to tell you about including tesla response to chinese trade tariffs by
