Crisis point for cave kids

AS Thai rescuers continue to work out how to safely free a young soccer team and their coach from inside a flooded cave, others are busy trying to install an internet cable so the kids can talk to their parents.

Water is continuing to be drained from the caves in Chiang Rai but with heavy rain due on the weekend pressure is mounting to try a rescue.

Thai Rear Admiral Arpakorn Yookongkaew said there’s no rush to bring them out as they are safe where they are, adding it would be dangerous to have them dive through the dark, muddy water.
