Thai Cave Rescue Mission Underway

Rescuers have begun a mission to evacuate twelve boys and their football coach from the cave where they have been trapped for two weeks. Thirteen foreign divers and five from the Thai Navy are involved in the rescue operation. Also on the programme, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says emergency teams are working against the clock to save people caught up in devastating floods. And fears of censorship in Pakistan grow as journalists are warned not to report allegations against the military.
