Cave rescue

A badly-injured caver was rescued alive after workers waged a 17-hour battle to drill and blast a pathway through rock to reach her.

The spaniel, named Reggie, fell into a deep crevice in Clydach near Swansea, Wales.

Elon Musk won a defamation case against a British cave diver whose conflict with Elon Musk over the rescue of a Thai soccer team from a flooded cave resulted in Musk calling the man "pedo guy" on his Twitter feed.

"I suggest that you call people you know in Thailand, find out what's actually going on and stop defending child rapists," the billionaire wrote to a reporter.

The boys thanked the rescuers for all their efforts and vowed to live life to the full following their "miracle" escape.

Three of the boys and their coach are stateless, meaning they don't belong to any country and have restricted rights.

Hospital Director Chaiwetch Thanapaisal said at a news conference that "everyone is strong in mind and heart."

Dr. Richard Harris was the last person left in the cave.

The rescue could become "a major Hollywood film with A-list stars," one producer told the AAP news agency.

All 12 boys of the Wild Boars soccer team and their coach have been evacuated to safety.

The boys have been trapped for more than two weeks in a flooded cave complex.

Several more boys were taken out of Tham Luang Nang Non cave on Monday.

Over 100 emergency workers struggled on Tuesday to rescue an injured man trapped after a rock fall in a 3280 foot-deep cave
