we will check in with you a little later step thank you for a thought update will not bring in scott heiler he's also in shanghai but he is close to where the four boys who were rescued on sunday were taken to hospital scott if i got that correct tell us what you're hearing about their conditions. then yeah we're about six kilometers away from where step boston is and this is where the hospital is we're in chiang rai city this is the parental capital of chiang right province and it is actually now five boys who are in the hospital here who are being treated and we know that the four who arrived here on sunday were said to be in good health we know that they have not been able to on fortunately see their parents just yet there are great there's great concern about infection because of what they've gone through but the parents of the boys who have been brought here at least the four on sunday are in hospital and they're trying to work out a way where they will be able to have a family visit but again the fifth one just arrived a step mention of the helicopter took off from where she is it tak

brought out through twisted narrow and jagged passageways they've been stuck for more than two weeks scott heiler joining us from chiang rai what are you hearing about those that have been rescued scott and what will happen to those that are still inside the cave where we know that those who have been rescued you know there's you said there's a field hospital right outside the cave entrance where they went into weeks and one day ago they were treated there immediately well they're met by medical personnel the moment they walk out and actually remember the medical personnel deeper in the cave to there's a chamber it's kind of been set up as a triage center inside the cave medical staff of looked at them there then they've made this three kilometer walk the dry part the dry section of the cave and then the met by more medical professionals as they come out and then there we've been told by someone who's on the scene that they're wrapped up straight away in a blanket we now know that there's you know the numbers have been all over the place you know we're seeing six now because what it sounds like f

of the first two members of the trapped thai soccer team may have been recovered from the cave scott heiler joining us from chiang rai what are you hearing scott. that iraq's a hearing that has three boys who have made their way out of the cave been rescued from this cave after two weeks and a day this is coming from a military source and we're also hearing that the interior minister has informed the prime minister and the interior minister is actually on the way to the field hospital at the mouth of the cave now that something was set up days and days ago three boys we're being told are in that hospital being assessed as to exactly what their medical condition is there's been a chief doctor on staff he is seeing them now the interior minister is either there now are still on his way and then once it's determined their health their their injuries then they'll decide how quickly and in what form of transportation will they go to the hospital in chiang rai for eventual capital which is about sixty kilometers from here now there are a couple of you know it's a over the shoulder is where the mo

boy out so i know it may take a couple of days to complete the risk you let's get an update from scott heiler he's joining us from china are i we are getting reports that now six boys have been rescued scott what are you hearing what can you confirm. yeah that's what we're hearing as well and what's very interesting is we've been able to speak a couple of times communicate with a father who is at the mouth of the cave as these boys are being brought out and you know obviously he's he's very delighted that they're coming out and they're coming out safe but what he's a bit frustrated about it sounds as though they don't really know the parents are really being married up with the boys as they come out if you will that is because and it's understandable they need to be checked out medically straight away where we do know as is the he said that he saw the boys almost being wrapped up immediately in a big blanket i'm assuming one of those kind of like silver mylar blankets to keep the heat in from these boys you know they've been inside very different conditions from from from the experience that

but first scott heiler tells us how the first boys were brought to the surface. after more than two weeks trapped deep underground one by one the boys emerged and were taken away by ambulance their ordeal finally came to an end when rescuers launched a daring effort to bring them out guiding them through a four kilometer labyrinth of treacherous tunnels cave the head of the rescue mission described it as d. day and called the boys by the nickname of their football team when he confirmed the first extraction had been a success. i would like to inform everyone at home and all those who have been giving. support all along that after sixteen days today's the day we've been waiting for we are seeing the wild boar football team in the flesh now and i thought. the rescue mission took days of preparing and planning after the group was found alive by divers on monday crews have been pumping water out of the cave system resupplying the boys with food and oxygen and drilling to help open up their escape route with. sunday's mission was described as better than expected and

kilometer of murky water to a passageway that could lead them to where the team has taken shelter scott heiler has more from a charity ride. the focus on monday are the dive teams and we know overnight from sunday to monday the dive teams led by the tight navy seals were able to get within five hundred meters of potty a beach section of the cave system now that's a section a cavern if you will named after a famous speech here in thailand that's where they believe the boys and their coats are so all the focus has been on getting the dive teams closer and closer and closer now we know that the pumps are still operating so hopefully that water level is still decreasing there was no rain overnight there's no rain so far yet on monday so the hope is that they can get those dive teams further in you can hear that engine behind me that's where the dive teams are headquartered they're filling those tanks as quickly as they can those air tanks so soon as teams come out they can replenish the air and get them back in or a new team members come in and they can give them air and get straight in so that's

forget as long as they live step fastened al-jazeera at that time long cave and not in thailand scott heiler is at the hospital where the rescue boys are being treated and sent us this update second day a second rescue mission is successful for more boys pulled from deep inside that cave here in northern thailand and now eight boys are in this hospital over my shoulder they have a special floor that dedicated just to them we know that they're being protected they're isolated that's because there's concern about infectious diseases there's concern about bacteria their immune systems most likely are compromised they're worried about something passed to them from outsiders but also possibly something they picked up in the caves so right now they're up there they're being cared for but again it's kind of a nice place we know the family members are up there on that same floor but there's no direct contact communication just yet now the third mission is planned for thirty first tuesday and they're hoping that those five other beds on that very special floor will be filled on tuesday night. the jap

alternative ways to get them out are still being explored including drilling holes from above scott heiler reports from . after more than two weeks trapped deep underground one by one the boys emerged and were taken away by ambulance their ordeal finally came to an end when rescuers launched a daring effort to bring them out guiding them through a four kilometer labyrinth of treacherous tunnels and caves the head of the rescue mission described it as d. day and called the boys by the nickname of their football team when he confirmed the first extraction had been a success. i would like to inform everyone at home and all those who have been giving us support all along that after sixteen days today's the day we've been waiting for we are seeing the wild boar football team in the flesh now. the rescue mission took days of preparing and planning after the group was found alive by divers on monday crews have been pumping water out of the cave system resupplying the boys with food in oxygen and drilling to help open up their escape route. sunday's mission was described as better than expected an

carried out and they're ready to come out with us they're ready to face any challenges let's talk to scott heiler he is joining us from chiang mai we're a couple hours into that rescue operation if all goes to plan scott we do expect to see the first boy in a couple of hours how's it going right now. that and yes they were expecting to see this is what they have estimated officials there will see nine pm local time which is about four hours from now we'll be seeing the first boy come out of that cave now again you know because this operation is so delicate and so complex we really haven't been getting too many updates throughout these last hours that it started ten am this morning so over the last four or five hours we haven't heard any updates as how as to how it's actually going it's very complex you have many divers you have eighteen divers involved the a thirteen elite foreign divers in there you've got five. titan navy seal divers in there and we know that each boy is going with two divers and there's we presume one is going to be holding the oxygen tank the air tank for the boy and the othe

worsen flooding inside the quay and one of the divers died while delivering oxygen to the children scott heiler is in the rescue site. so mancow don was a retired navy seal diver who was brought back to help with the operation to rescue the stranded football team and their coach he was part of the seal team with the british divers who found the boys' early friday morning he was ferrying air tanks deep in the cave he passed out on the water a fellow diver pulled him out and attempted to resuscitate him he died from lack of oxygen and his death underlines just how risky the conditions are it takes six hours to reach the boys and their coach and involves a series of complicated dives the effort to find another way to get them out is picking up pace by the drilling is ongoing on the western side of the mountain and aiming to east the location where the boys were found we can't yet pinpoint exactly cation using global positioning systems otherwise we could drill into the caves and bring them out. but another team is specifically focused on finding their location above ground using technology and equ

should say he's near the spot where the rescue measure mission has just ended for the day and scott heiler is a correspondent very close to the hospital where the boys are being treated should we gave to you first got because i understand that some of the latest of those two have been rescued have just arrived at the hospital behind you. they have marty just just before going to went on air i would say within fifteen twenty seconds two ambulances went into this hospital just over my shoulder just to that barricade where those police officers are he. we're in the preventive capital of the chain right now that means now in the hospital you have you had four that were there and then you had one that was there from earlier today and then just two more so there's one more we believe that still at the field hospital out by the case we know that there had been still helicopter standing by out there we believe that last helicopter brought in these two we decided to go by now so they're all now the ones that were in the air are all in the hospital now there's just the one we believe still the field

that in some places are completely flooded they've been stuck for more than two weeks talk to scott heiler joining us from chiang rai so quite a fast moving story right now scott what are you hearing about the at least four boys that have been rescued. yes those four boys were confirming have come out no it was again as you just mentioned out in a couple of hours earlier than what the head of the rescue mission said earlier today we know that the mission started at ten am and now it's just after eight pm he said that we really wouldn't start to see the boys the first boys come out of the cave until nine pm and they've been out for a while about an hour hour and a half so it is faster than they initially expected what we don't know there are some some reports out there the more than four boys at this stage there are some reports saying as many as six are already out we cannot verify that we cannot confirm that but what it shows is that bit might be a bigger group then we initially thought it was going to be you know there could be factors behind that as you mentioned that there could have b
