Thai Army says boys and their coach have to learn to dive or wait for flooding to recede

Thai Army says the boys and their coach will have to learn to dive or wait for flooding to recede.

The Thai Army says the 12 boys and their football coach, trapped in a cave for 10 days, will need to learn to dive or wait for flooding to recede before they can escape. The group had been missing before being found by divers late on Monday. We’ll hear how a rescue operation might work.

Also in the programme: the UK government bans controversial so-called ‘conversion therapy’ for gay people; and a top State Department Near East official on President Trump’s Iran policy.
