Eight boys have now been rescued from the flooded Tham Luang cave complex in Thailand. Four boys and their 25-year-old football coach are still in the cave. Those still in the cave have been trapped underground for more than two weeks.

Payao governor Narongsak Osatanakorn says the first four boys extracted from the cave are in improved health.
