Thai boys' football team found alive in cave complex

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Joy in Thailand after British divers locate a dozen boys and their football coach, missing in flooded caves for more than a week. We hear from Jonathan Head, who's at the scene. And we speak to a leading caver who knows the rescuers about the delicate operation to free them that lies ahead. Two ex-Tory cabinet ministers on Mrs May's Brexit third way: will her party, let alone the EU, buy it? And as Angela Merkel and her coalition partners say they've reached a deal, is the political crisis in Germany's Government over? We'll have the latest from Berlin. Also: the challenges facing Mexico's president-elect, and why the UN's culture vultures are getting a bit fed up with that most cultured of nations - the French.
