a thai navy s.e.a.l. and that underscored how challenging this will be and it could take hours and the parents won't know for a long time, all of the parents, whether their sons will come out safely from the back of that mountain behind me. >> david, this is such an international effort at this point. but the decision on who comes out first actually comes down to those boys, correct? >> reporter: it does. imagine the human drama unfolding in that cave system. the governor telling us it will be up to the boys and to a consulting doctor who is assessing their health, who will decide to go first. who will be the first one. and that first boy that they pull through is so important because then they get to test the entire theory how they will get the kids out, through this zero visibility tunnel under the earth in the water through possibly some glow sticks they mark some sense of where they are going with the specialist divers. imagine that decision. there will be several boys i'm sure ready to do it but some

i'm sure they haven't been told about the thai navy s.e.a.l. and i hope they do not find out, any of them, until they are way out of that cave. but physically as well, they are in the prime of their health. so if anybody can endure these moments of tension, lower oxygen and other physical challenges, it's going to be young teenage boys. >> dr. daria gillespie, thank you so much for helping us understand the physical, psychological, emotional challenges of the boys, their doe coach and of their rescuers. >> meanwhile, rescue teams, of course, as we've said all morning, they are up against the weather. not just the difficult caves, but the heavy rains that have already begun. monsoon-level rains expected to intensify over the next week. cnn analyst alvin chinchar has been keeping us updated on a situation that only looks worse because of rain. >> we keep seeing that moisture come back and it's only going to be more frequent in the next couple days. here is the map. this is thailand. notice all of these colors coming in, the reds and oranges indic

thai navy s ea ls lost earlier, that one former thai navy seals lost his life. risk -- delicate. it really was and that the risk —— that is the risk that we as rescu e rs risk —— that is the risk that we as rescuers faced every day. there is another story going on in france right now with a good friend of mine passed away while cave diving is one of the rescuers lost his life going to get him. these are the kind of things that we face. every we go in ona things that we face. every we go in on a rescue body recovery, panic divers will take you outjust like that. it's just one of the risks that. it's just one of the risks that we take and it shows how professional the team on site are. to get them out against all odds. these boys don't know how to swim, that's a sure sign that somebody is going to panic and how those boys put their lives in these rescuers' hands and said, i trust you to get me out of here, i remember saying that tattoo—mac of my victims that had found a small air pocket —— i remember saying that to two of my victims. i said, remember saying that t

well, fortunately, there have been a number of thai navy seals going to the chamber, and i am quite suree thai rescue personnel to help with the communication difficulties should there be communication difficulties. we heard about the possibility of sedation of the boys to come them down, to avoid the boys to come them down, to avoid the panic which is the greatest danger ina the panic which is the greatest danger in a rescue such as this. is sedation really a possibility? what are the risks involved?” sedation really a possibility? what are the risks involved? i am not medically qualified to answer that. i know certainly that some of the personnel and site are doctors, highly experienced doctors, highly experienced cave divers. if that option is required, i am sure that the equipment, the knowledge, the expertise is there to get this job done. if you are cave diving with an expert, a colleague, that is fit enough. if you're diving with someone enough. if you're diving with someone who is inexperienced, what sort of advice to you give to them before you enter a system like that, to make

five crack thai navy s.e.a.l. divers and 13 international divers. ten of the divers went to the ledge where the boys have been for the last two weeks and one day. and they took them out two-by-two, walking, wading, sometimes diving through murky waters and narrow passage ways. it was a dangerous operation because a thai diver and experienced, highly-trained diver, collapsed and died down there. if he died, what about an 11-year-old boy. an extraordinary operation, launched by a commander who said, this is d-day, it's either now or never. the falling oxygen levels and falling rain meant that there was a red line. and the commander had to green light this operation. it's been going for almost 12 hours. the boys are being taken out two-by-two. bill neely, nbc news, northern thailand. >> thanks for that report. let's go to janice muar janis m who is on the route going to the hospital by blanambulance. can you tell us how many you've seen going by. i think we were with you when the third went by. have you seen another one yet? >> we had the two ambulance

a major operation involving international divers and elite members of the thai navy has been taking placefree the 12 boys and their football coach. they became stranded a fortnight ago — when the tunnels became waterlogged by rain. 0ur correspondent is at the hospital. what more could you tell us? this is the main hospital in the chiang rai region, an hour by car from the cave complex where the boys have been rescued from today. four boys. i am just looking, have been rescued from today. four boys. iamjust looking, probably have been rescued from today. four boys. i am just looking, probably a military vehicle there. in the past 90 minutes, we have seen two ambulances arrived. the railings we re ambulances arrived. the railings were moved away. the traffic stopped and the ambulances raced through the entrance to the hospital. we saw police helicopters. helicopters involved in the rescue, flying overhead. and the crucial information comes from a press conference in the past few minutes, but also the thai navy seals. the elite unit. they say four of the boys have been brought out. as for th

and the coach and the thai navy.told them what was going to happen and said you choose your best men and out they come. so it was nothing to do with us. harry did not choose them. as has been suggested. so i think it was the bravest guys that came out first. >> so the risk level was incredibly high. and in my mind, the possibility, the problablility of success wa about as low as you can get. >> so you thought there's no chance of getting the 13 out! i didn't think there was no chance, but when i was flat out asked what do you think the probability of success was, i told the government maybe 60 or 70% chance. so i was expecting that we would accept casualties. maybe three, four, possibly five would die. making cars lighter, it's a good place to start, advanced oils for those hard-working parts. fuels that go further so drivers pump less. improving efficiency is what we do best. energy lives here. >>> it's now sunday the 8th of july. the 12 boys and their coach have been tried for 15 days. the conditions are getting wo

i want to show this poignant photo posted on social media by the thai navy, the thai seal teams. they say we, thai navy seals, are ready to bring the south korea team hom-- soccer team ho. it's an incredible effort from around the globe hoping, praying to get these boys out. george. >> and we can't forget the fact that a former thai navy seal died, lost his life in an ef court, of course, to be part of this process, to get these boys and the coach thought of cave. that certainly underscores the difficulty and danger involved in the operation that is under way now. >> reporter: well that's right. the 38-year-old former thai navy seal gave his life to this rescue effort. it really underlined the danger of getting these boys out. but as you can see, george, the clouds behind me, it's been range on and off for a few hours and it will get only worse as say the local authorities here. they say if they have to wait to make this difficult decision, then they might have to start all over again because sections of that cave could flood and then you might be in the monsoon and that window c

the thai navy seals say they may have to go sooner than later. the oxygen levels could be reaching critical levels and the rains have been coming on and off today. if they start in earnest, it could flood in again. the noise behind me is an air compre compressor. they have specially equipped divers going in and out of this cave. the helicopter overhead is likely looking for sink holes or air vents into the ground if is still not sure where they will mount that rescue mission. but it could be sooner rather than later. >>> all right, the rescuers are working so hard there. elon musk just tweeted that they be sending engineers to thailand to offer assistance with the rescue. >> the secretary of state touching down in north korea tonight looking for answers to that and much more. live in seoul, straight ahead. wf the sugar you don't. i'll take that.

y h he has announced that the three thai navy s.e.a.l. doctors and doctor who spent more than a week in the cave where the thai boys soccer team and their coach were trapped for more than two weeks, that they now, too, have also emerged to safety. that means all of the people, that means that the boys and their rescuers are now apparently out of harm's way. he prefaced the press conference by saying i would like to announce some good news today. and this is good news. we don't know the exact health of everybody who has emerged today. four boys, their coach, and these divers. the doctor who bravely stayed underground with them for so many days. everybody's out, breathing fresh air now. >> thank goodness for that. ivan watson, thank you for being there. a remarkable day indeed. of course, we'll wait to hear the condition of all of them. join t-mobile. and get netflix included for the whole family. so you can get lost in space in your own backyard... or get pumped up for your grand entrance. only t-mobile lets you watch your favorite movies a

we just heard from the thai navy seals that the four divers -- they are waiting for the four divers, the three seals and the one doctor -- to come out of the cave. they got the kids and the coach out first, they are waiting for the divers and the doctor. hopefully we can bring you that good news shortly. in the meantime, let's go to the hospital. matt rivers is outside the hospital where the boys have been taken one after the oth after the other as they have been rescued to get the health care they need. matt, what are you seeing? >> john it was just a minute ago that it was ambulance number 11 that just went behind us. that means that boys nine, ten, and 11 have now arrived here at the hospital. we're expecting the 12th boy and coach to be following up shortly after that. they're treated at a field hospital, they are airlifted to close by and they are brought to this hospital. as soon as they get here they are brought upstairs to the eighth floor. there is a special unit that has been set up for several days where these boys go. there's a concern that the immune systems of the boys

we got some information earlier from the thai navy teams.pherded through by two expect divers, so the boys would feel their presence as they were moved through. there was a guide rope that was set up so rather than being able to look you're going, people would move through bit by bit. the corridors are so narrow. that was part of the problem. it was not going out at one angle, they we re not going out at one angle, they were going up and down and some of the best divers in the world were saying this was a for them. let's remind you how things have unfolded over the past 2a hours. the mission to rescue the boys and their football coach began at around ten o'clock local time. we know that four boys have been brought to safety a nd four boys have been brought to safety and they are at the local chiang rai hospital. the operation has come to a close. i have seen of facebook post from the thai navy seals wishing their supporters good night. the operation will continue tomorrow. plenty more on our website. there is a live page there and if you wou

according to the thai navy official, george, the operation is ongoing. we don't know how many of the boys they'll be trying to bring out. we don't know which boys they'll be trying to bring out. but in a few hours from now it's certainly worth watching to see if they manage to pull this extraordinary rescue off again, not just once but twice. george? >> all right. david, so as you're reporting now, the rescue operation is resuming and we start putting certain things together. the weather behind you doesn't look too bad. doesn't look like the rains are coming down too heavily at this moment. we understand as well that they've pumped a great deal of water out of these caves. david, does it still set up a similar situation from what you can understand from your sources and your expertise being out there that perhaps the cave system may be like it was before with the previous rescue, not nearly as much water rushing into it with weather? >> reporter: well, i think it's certainly going to be better than that original time, the two british divers managed to fi

in thailand, a former thai navy diver has died while delivering supplies to the 12 boys and their coache diver, who had left the navy but came to help the rescue, lost consciousness on his way back from the boys cave and could not be revived by his colleague. there's still no decision on how to rescue the group, who've been trapped in a flooded cave for almost 2 weeks now. the children were found on a rocky ledge around 2 and a half miles from the mouth of the cave on monday. more than 128 million litres of water has been pumped out of the cave — allowing rescue teams to walk further into the tunnel. but some parts are too narrow and more heavy rain is forecast. the boys are being taught the basics of diving. some need to be taught how to swim, but it's feared that option could be too risky. sophie long joins us now from tham luang nang non cave in thailand. what is the latest on the death of that diver? normally the regular daily press conferences here are at the cave's entrance are full of hope and anticipation that there might be and anticipation that there might be an announcement t

the thai navy s.e.a.l.s confirmed four boys have been evacuated. cnn affiliate saw at least one boy flown to the hospital by helicopter. we are waiting for a press conference from thai officials. moments ago president trump tweeted this. he tweeted, the u.s. is working very closely with the government of thailand to help get all of the children out of the cave and to safety. very brave and talented people. let's go back to cnn's matt rivers. he is near the hospital where the boys are being taken. matt, what are you seeing and hearing there now? >> reporter: yeah, there is definitely a sense here that these ambulances are on their way. this is the road behind me right here that actually goes south there towards the hospital to my left. and that's where the boys are are going to be going, along with their coach, when they are brought out of that cave. there is a sense that they are going to be arriving here relatively soon. we're not exactly sure when, but police on scene are certainly gearing up for their arrival. we know that the hospital has prepar

in this clip filmed by thai navy seals, the boys introduce themselves by their nicknames and say they in good health. wrapped in emergency blankets, they are joking with the divers who've volunteered to stay with them until they can be brought out safely. and the 12 boys and their coach may have to stay there, possibly for months. to get out sooner, they'll have to be taught to scuba dive, and many of them can't swim. or they wait for floodwaters to drop. but with months of monsoon rains about to start, there's concern levels could rise and threaten the air pocket where they've taken refuge. jonathan head reports. there's a renewed sense of mission here now. for the first time in ten days, they know where the boys are and they know they're alive. a constant flow of divers moves in and out of the caves. they're stocking equipment and food supplies underground, preparing for what could be a long and difficult rescue. the boys were all members of a football team, coached by noppa rat ka nthawong. it was his assistant who went with them that day. translation: in my heart, all i could thin

but we have to remember that there are still four thai navy s.e.a.l.s, one doctor and four s.e.a.l.s, who are still trapped in that cave. and while it's easy to dismiss that because they're highly trained in cave diving. remember, the only fatality we've seen in the past two weeks has been a highly trained thai navy s.e.a.l. so this story is not over, stephanie. but what's next for these kids, most are either here at this hospital behind me or they're headed here now. they're going to be in -- they're being sequestered. they're being kept away from their families, kept behind glass, because doctors are worried they could either give some subterranean illness like a bacteria or a fungal infection to people out here or they could contract an illness from others because they've been so far away and so there immune systems are so depleted after so long in that cave. if you're a parent, it's just -- must be wrenching to imagine, to have your child after so long, within your grasp, and unable to actually embrace them. they are -- some of the kids were let out earlier this week. they're able

the thai navy s.e.a.l.s reacting to the news on facebook writing we're not sure if this is miracle or science or what. the feet incredible by all accounts considering the twisted treacherous and flooded maze of passageways rescuers were forced to navigate. in this video you can even see the divers fighting to stay above water gripping that rope all the while carrying air tanks and equipment guiding the coach and the boys to safety. the soccer team found alive last monday after spending ten days trapped and inlost inside the dark cave. they survived by drinking water which was dripping down the sides of the cave. turns out the team also went into the cave with a bit of food. local media reporting a woman sold the team snacks like these, chips, soda and orange drinks before they followed their coach into the cave for what was supposed to be a fun excursion after practice that turned into a lesson of survival. so what happens now? we're told they will be evaluated and remain quarantined in the hospital for about a week. we're told two of the boys have pneumonia. their families will only

i suppose we got a reminder that an experienced thai navy diver died in those conditions.out a bunch of kids who don't know how to dive, the dangers for them are much greater. >> reporter: yes, that's right. the man who died was a very experienced former navy s.e.a.l. diver himself. he was a mile underground when at about 2:00 in the morning local time he seems to have had some problem with his oxygen supply. he wasn't -- it wasn't possible to resuscitate him. it just serves to underscore the enormity of the dangers facing the boys coming out. you know, the other problem that the boys have is that although they've been remarkably stoic in this two-week ordeal, nothing really will prepare them for the dangers of coming out through these jagged passageways, through often completely submerged chambers. they've been fitted with these full-face oxygen masks, but if they start to panic, you know, they could start to cough and choke and hyperventilate. that's really, really dangerous. so you know, it's an enormously dangerous thing to see them coming out, albeit with the assistan
