We begin with the latest on the Thai football team found alive -- after spending 10 days trapped inside area caves. While that is incredible news, the problem is they are still stuck inside. Right now, authorities in northern Thailand are looking for ways to get the youngsters and their coach out of the cave that is surrounded by water. Our Rian Maelzer is at the cave site and filed this report.

The astonishing video and audio of rescuers finding the 12 missing boys and their coach huddled on an elevated mound will be etched in memories not just here in Thailand but around the world.

"We're coming. Many more people are coming."

The tortuous efforts of a multinational team of rescuers and divers to make their way through tiny, flooded, mud and silt-sodden passageways had succeeded against the odds, bringing joy to a country, to the rescuers, and above all to the boys' families.

But amid the elation, the realisation that there was no easy way to get the 13 out of the cave.

JESSICA TATE US RESCUE WORKER "It is amazing when you see the partnership between our Thai partners, the US is here, the Australians are here, the Chinese. We are working together. British divers, literally all planning the best course of action when it comes to being able to extract these children as safely as possible."

High-protein gels and basic medicines reached them on Tuesday. The weather has been kind for the past three days with little rain. But that might not hold. And despite the massive efforts to pump water out from the complex, many parts remain passable only by divers.

RIAN MAELZER CHIANG RAI PROVINCE, THAILAND "There has been some suggestion that the safest option would be for the boys and their coach to wait until the waters subside. But that might not happen for weeks."

So, though they may be safe, the boys' ordeal is far from over. RM, CGTN, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.
