BBC World Service - BBC OS, Thailand Cave Rescue: Day 11

A friend of the British divers who found the young team reflects on the challenges ahead

Two British divers were the first to make contact with the team of 12 boys and their football coach, trapped underground in a cave in Thailand.  Bill Whitehouse, a friend of the divers and the vice chair of the British Cave Rescue Council reflects on what now needs to happen to return the group to safety.

We hear about a new Danish law that will require immigrant families who do not speak fluent Danish to put their toddlers into daycare to learn the language.

And in Moscow Ben James discusses Russia's relationship with the West with senior MP Vyacheslav Nikonov of the United Russia party.
