Hope is at an all time high for rescue crews who are working to bring out Thailand's trapped football team.

Another four boys were brought out of the cave safe and well overnight.

In total eight boys have now made it out of the cave, and five more are still trapped inside.

CNN's Matt Rivers says crews are more confident than ever of getting everyone out, alive.

" There is a sense of hope here in Thailand that didn't exist so strongly a few days ago, and everybody here is praying that the third attempt can get the team out."

The rescue operation to reach the remaining four trapped deep in the cave has been suspended tor today, with the possibility of using Elon Musk's purpose built submarine, which is being flown over to help with the mission.
