welcome back to northern thailand.ere the boys and their coach are being treated after being trapped in a cave for more than two weeks. the last of the boys to arrive here last night were in there for nearly 18 days. for the first nine days none of the boys had anything at all. a few months ago —— moments ago i spoke to a professor of nutrition. they would have been using some of their muscles stores, their protein stores around their muscles, in order to provide their brain with some glucos. and they would have also used quite a lot of their fat stores. and that's been used again for their brain. the brain of a human is huge, and it demands 20% of our energy requirements on a normal day. if you are resting, like these boys were, it's probably using about 50% of the energy that's being generated by the body. but they are using their stores, and you'll be able to see that. they will look a bit skinny, and they will soon, maybe within a week to ten days, they'll be back to their normal weight. yeah, we've heard from sour

they we re in thailand have been rescued.ivers helping each child to the submerged and narrow caves, the rescue effort has been suspended for the night as the team rests but more heavy rain is forecast. the next stage bringing out the remaining boys and the coach will carry on, they are still in the cave but authorities say they are safe. and the japanese prime minister says the race to save people trapped by heavy rain isa race to save people trapped by heavy rain is a race against time. 57

it is made news right around the world, notjust in thailand.that they did have some access to fresh water in the cave and it is possible that they may have taken some snacks with them, maybe even head lamps, we don't know. but, clearly, if they have been found alive and well, which seems to be the case, that is a cause for great rejoicing, not only for theirfriends a cause for great rejoicing, not only for their friends and relatives, their classmates and their school, but all of thailand. this is a story that will go around the world. fantastic news, if that is confirmed. we will bring you more details on what appears to be a dramatic rescue of those boys under coach from black cave in thailand. you are watching bbc news. let's bring you more from theresa may, he is in the house of commons being pressed on her proposals for brexit. downing street have now come up with a third proposalfor downing street have now come up with a third proposal for customs arrangements with the european union, which he is hoping her cabinet can agree on and her ca

phase 2 of rescue mission in thailand is happening right now. world is watching as heros go back in to save 8 boys and their coach still trapped at this hour. our next guest former secret service agent who trained in water rescues the brand-new dangers that she says come into play heather: fox news alert for you happening right now, divers recusing efforts in thailand, four boys on the soccer team already safely removed but 8 more and coach are still waiting to be rescued. so what dangers are the divers expecting? joining me secret service agent dr. melanie. >> good morning, heather. heather: remarkable as it unfolded this weekend. able to get 4 boys out safely. phase 2 has begun, midnight here our time is when that started. what are the new or the significant dangers that they are facing at this point? >> well, of course the good thing i see about this rescue are based on yesterday's efforts where they got out and 7 and a half hours from the somewhat 2 and a half mile trek in cave in water, climbing and all different sorts of gear they needed.

here's thailand for rempference. this is where the cave is, the northern region of thailand. look for the oranges and reds on the screen. that is what's showing you that heavy moisture that's there, the heavy rain, the torrential downpours, the potential is there. we got lucky. from july 2nd to july 7th, we had a break. that's what allowed them to get the majority of that water out of the cave. but rain has started back up again, and as we continue the forecast, you'll start to see those rain chances increase, especially as we get to next week. but monday, tuesday, wednesday, all three of those days have an 80 to 90% chance of rain. really, when you look at the long term forecast, it really extends the next 7 to 10 days. here's a look at that. every single one of these days has a chance for rain. they say maybe half an inch of rain. dana, that may not sound like much, but you have to understand some of those pathways in the cave are very narrow. it may take only a half inch to an inch of heavy rain to really fill that up quickly. >> absolutely. it is really remarkable when yo

and it's monsoon season in thailand.nd we are expecting more rain which is why they're talking about scuba diving. getting these kids to learn to scuba dive. it's basically getting them to feel confident enough to navigate the cave system which we know is a logic aft nightmare. >> they'll have to get strong enough first and then one by one dive out of that cave. aunk so much, anna, wield be back with us. ping us if there are any more developments, thank you. >>> meanwhile, secretary of state pompeo meeting face-to-face. the doubts swirl in the u.s. intelligence community about kim's commitment to denuclearize. will ripley is live for us in beijing. this afternoon, 4:16 p.m. there. will, what's the latest? >> reporter: well, this is going to be secretary pompeo's third trip to pyongyang and obviously the most difficult trip for the secretary and his delegation because they have a lot of things they need to talk about with the north koreans. the united states is expected to provide a detailed list of tasks and a time line

the rescue operation in thailand.lved but in terms of moving onto the next stage of the rescue, the rescue workers, we understand, will need up to ten hours to prepare for the next stage of this operation. so there could be a positive events. further news coming out. —— a pause in events. we understand that for one exit of boys to the next, a ten hour gap is needed before the rescue team can go backin needed before the rescue team can go back in and prepare for bringing out the next group of boys. you're watching bbc news. stay with us. more coming up. let's find out how the weather is looking. hello, our forecast is hot again today foremost. temperatures have peaked above 30 celsius, it is humid, the further south you are. many places are seeing spells of hot sunshine. this was the view earlier in cornwall, gorgeous blue skies, but more cloud around in scotland, northern ireland and parts of northern england. you might think, i would love to get some rain out of that, but there is hardly any, just like showers here a

involved for thailand?tis thailand? it is certainly something that is very unique, certainly a first in terms of the attention an accident like this has received in terms of media coverage, in terms of the coverage overall, even social media and the like. the whole incident has really brought the country together. people were gripped, thailand was on edge for the last two weeks, waiting to hear updates, wanting to know more about the football team and their coach, wanting to know more about the search and rescue operation. it has been an incredible story, and now not just thailand but the entire world is watching. it is a special moment, and we all hope, overall, the officials, the mood at the camp, the officials, the mood at the camp, the mood of the rescuers and the media, we hope it will be good news by the end. in all the time that you have been there, what have the family members that you have managed to speak to being seen to your? there has been various parts. initially, during the search upton met —

in a quick and safe manner in thailand's capital. the great a metropolitan area of bangkok is home to more than fifteen million people with a population density two and a half times that of los angeles. to sky train lines and no less reliable than trains in switzerland compared to the chaos on bangkok streets they feel like a parallel universe and almost clinically clean and perfect organized world of punctuality ice cold f.m. and conditioning units and polished granite. passages mustn't make a mess and they're not allowed to eat or drink aga. the problem with this system is that with its thirty six kilometers and its capacity of roughly seven hundred thousand passengers a day it's still far too small for this sprawling city. an airplane graveyard in the middle of bangkok the shells of several retired planes fly here from shore to craft a jumbo jets. it's not an official museum and not an actual destination for tourists the compound is in private hands and that's why it's possible to visit it for a fee of around five years. the inves

and myanmar here in northern thailand. as we hear more about the remarkable rescue effort, we will bring that to you. i have to caution to you this is dangerous stuff. it claimed the life of the former professional navy s.e.a.l. driviver last week. nobody is taking chances and they are taking every possible precaution to make sure the people have been trapped and the rescue workers all emerge safely before this is all concluded. dave and christine. >> painstaking work. huge operation. ivan watson, we will come back when you have more information. when you look at the scale of the operation and the water they were pumping out of the cave had to be put somewhere. pumped into the rice fields and flooded them out after they planted for the season. the government will reimburse the rice farmers. many say those are al children too. we -- those are our children too. >> we will return to thailand when we hear about the latest on the remaining in the cave. >>> ahead, a struggle to cut a brexit deal is leading to the biggest crisis

, in this part of thailand, come.t was a place that this particular soccer team and their coach liked to come to hang out, to see how far and then come back. as you say, 2.9 miles. and then the flash floods came. they went in there when it was dry. if you think about the land, when it is dry and compact earth like that, there is no rain, then suddenly it comes straight down and runs into the tunnels, and in two hours it flooded. they found themselves in that cave unable to get out. for days and days no one knew where they were, they didn't have any idea that they were alive. the press when those two british divers popped up in the cavern where they were, on the muddy bank, we saw the amazing images of the boys sitting cross-legged on the bank, looking at them and smili. there was jubilation but then real concern because the water level was so high. they spent days and days trying to get it down. and then they had to speed up the process because started to concern officials here. we had that former navy s.e.a.l. who ve

the thing is with thailand, it is fairly warm.nd exposure and things like that and they obviously had plenty of water to not have first problem is. he will can live a long time without food if you have two. that might be a week, but they are young, fit, and they are not in really severe conditions for survival, so that is a good class of them. what will be the most challenging obstacle now as we move forward in the rescue mission?” expect they are hoping to be able to just bring them out diving. they will fit each kid out with scuba gearand will fit each kid out with scuba gear and they will die them out between two experienced divers, i think that is what they would want to do. that depends on how difficult the passage is, how many spikes of rock there are in the way and how bandy it is and how wide it is. they will not be able to see anything, they will be in very muddy water and visibility will be next to nothing. even the torch lights underwater in that sort of condition, you just see a brown glow. for the kids, probably none

but mainly by the government of thailand and these navy s.e.a.l.s from thailand. >> it is extraordinary the success they've brought the four boys out so far. governor, ambassador bill richardson, thank you for joining us. i know you were going to talk about other global issues, notably north korea today. we'll have you back to speak about that. thank you. enjoy your sunday, sir. the president is keeping an eye on this, as well as the rest of the world. the u.s. is working closely with the government of thailand to get all of the children out of the cave and to safety, very brave and talented people. we could not agree more with that statement. we're going to take a short break. we'll be back on the other side. whoooo. looking for a hotel that fits... ...your budget? tripadvisor now searches over... ...200 sites to find you the... ...hotel you want at the lowest price. grazi, gino! find a price that fits. tripadvisor. i've been making blades here at gillette for 20 years. there's a lot of innovation that goes into making america's #1 shave. precision machinery and high-quality materials

here you can see thailand. this is the area around where the cave is. all of the orange and red colors you see here is the moisture. that rain moving back into the area. and it's really starting to surge. you're going to see more frequent downpours as those rain showers get closer. here is a look at the last couple of weeks. we had a lot of rain early on in june. but the good news was from july 2nd to the 7th a break but notice yesterday on or 11 hours ahead of us there they get rain and we will continue to see the rain. sunday, monday, and tuns high rain chances 80% to 90% chance of rain. the upcoming week, we have rain chances every day but notice as we get to the next week, how they start to rise. this is where we are going to see a big concern because then it becomes a point there's too much water going into the cave and they cannot pump it out fast enough. so, again, this is going to be a concern in the coming days if they have to get these boys out before some of the really torrential rain begins because they are not able to get the water out fast

talking about how the story is gripping thailand but the story is gripping thailand but the rest of thepreparing. 0ur the rest of the world. while medical teams are preparing. our other story to sour. millions of people injapan have been told to leave their homes because of extensive flooding and landslides that have already claimed more than 80 lives. record rainfall has caused rivers to burst their banks in hiroshima and other areas. many people remain trapped by the floodwaters as caroline hawley reports. more than 50,000 rescuers are now involved in a mammoth emergency operation. these hospital patients were saved by the japanese military. this is where they were rescued from. the only escape from the hospital was either by helicopter from the rooftop or by boat. and here, you see why. some people are reported to be still stranded at the hospital. the record rainfall that caused all this led to landslides as well. many died as they could not flee in time. the dead include an 80—year—old couple and a three—year—old girl. and the death toll is certain to rise. translation: i went to m

let's get more on that cave rescue in thailand.ine instructor and shejoins us from victoria in australia. good to have you with us, kasha ibrahim. what will be the initial things they are looking for, the medics who are treating and observing the boys? thank you for having me. initially the main things they will be looking for is treating any immediately life—threatening injuries and assessing the presumed hypothermia after such a long exposure down in the cave. but that can all be done relatively quickly, so those kind of assessments should be done within the first day after the boys come out and just looking at their vital signs and any injuries obviously that they have that could deteriorate. what about beyond that? what is the medium to longer term observation that they will be doing? so, in the next couple of days, and certainly up to the week, there will be some samples taken of bodily fluids to look for any signs of infections that are of concern. sometimes it does take a little while for the laboratory to be able to grow an

it's 7am in singapore, midnight in london and 6am in chiang rai, thailand, where rescuers in thailand trying to work out how to free 12 boys and their football coach from the flooded caves where they've been trapped for more than 10 days. divers have been searching the complex cave network in northern thailand, working in difficult conditions where some sections are said to be too narrow for even scuba tanks to be worn. but there's no easy way to get them out. they will either have to learn to swim out using diving equipment or stay there for weeks, maybe months, until the floodwaters recede. our correspondent 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 are alive. a co nsta nt and they know they are alive. a constant flow of divers moves in and out of the caves. they are stalking food and equipment underground, preparing for what could be a long difficult rescue. the boys were all members of the football team coached by noparat kentawong. it was his assistant who went with them tha

watching events taking place in thailand.doing to you when you think about what happened in cumbria? it is the same range of emotions. your correspondents have put it very well. it is wonderful news, but it is not over yet and you have got to be cautiously optimistic that when they go back into resumed the operation, that things will continue to go well. in terms of conditions, are they similar around the world when you get inside a cave, or are they different? they are different in different countries. i would say that from what i am hearing from the thai operation, they are similar to british conditions in that you get bad visibility, and there are small as well. the one good thing about the conditions over there is it is warm. it would not be warm over here. that has been a big positives in helping to get the boys out. you rescued les hewitt in 1992. the team in thailand are having to rescue children. what would be your primary concern if you were part of that time? i think it was a big team effort to rescue les hewitt and

here local in thailand.nutes at the top of the hour. so that really speaks to how fast this situation is moving along. it is pretty fluid as well. we are hearing reports that four have been rescued. from other sources and other media outlets here locally, some are saying six. it's constantly changing. i think part of the reason why we're hearing different numbers is because of the area where this is happening in. it's a very rural area. hard to get to. pretty far away from any sort of city landscape. that's probably part of the reason too. and the fact that these boys are being transferred and they are also, you know, young boys, so they are probably trying to keep their families in the loop as much as possible. sort of keep their medical condition kind of tight to the vest, but locally here, this is the news everybody was waiting to hear about. i definitely get a sense that people won't be going to bed any time soon. we have a tv off to the side here with one of the local media stations on here in thailand

jonathan head is at the entrance to the caves in northern thailand.this week since they found those boys, there's been a debate here among thai officials about what they should do with them. now, many of the divers who've been going in to see them have said the route out is just too dangerous to risk, they should be left where they are. that thinking is clearly changing, the impending monsoon makes staying where they are unviable, they could be there for months, they might even lose their only dry spot. we're hearing very much today about preparations to take them out. the kids can't swim, they're being taught now, they are practising wearing masks. lots of consultations are going on in particular with the british cave divers, who are still playing a leading role in this rescue and it seems now it's not imminent, but the authorities have decided at some point they're going to have to take a chance on the perilous route out with the divers. diver: how many of you? their discovery on monday seemed miraculous, but their rescue has confounded those trying

local time and we're well into the evening here in thailand.e understood the journey to get to where they were, some of them still remain, was five hours possibly. so the rescue divers have to get there, get them, get them ready, talk to them, get them in the right frame of mind and then bring them out. so we understand this could take three, possibly four days to complete. that tunnel, most of it, is still submerged in water. the big issue was always the water level. they've pumped out gallons of water to bring it down and now their hand was forced because of the bad weather but it seems the hope is alive because the weakest have been brought out and seem to be on their way to the hospital. we don't know their condition but we're all praying. >> just great news. we're hearing reports that there may be more that have made it out of the tunnel. let's go back to matt. matt, what can you tell us? >> reporter: i've just confirmed that there are going to be four of those young boys, they are the weakest of the 12 who are going to be brought out toni
