15:40 Coach explains how they became lost in Tham Luang cave
The 'Wild Boars' football coach explained how they decided to go to the Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand.
He said the boys asked to go to the caves because many of the boys had never been before.
The coach said he first realised they were lost when they tried to leave. When they turned to leave they realised the water levels had risen, and some of the boys could not swim.
The coach entered the water to see if he could find a route out of the cave. He tied a rope to himself and said if he tugs twice the boys should pull him out.
When he realised there was no way out he tugged on the rope, and the group decided to find a place to stay the night hoping the water levels will fall.
"I wasn't scared because I thought tomorrow the water level would fall," the coach said.
The group said they had no food and no snacks, as they had already eaten before training. They stayed alive by drinking water falling from the ceiling.

The youngest child of the group, aged 11, introduced himself to the media, adding "I play left and right wing".
Three Thai Navy Seals, who were dressed in blue uniforms, baseball caps, and sunglasses, also introduced themselves by giving only nicknames.
One of the boys, who spoke to the first two divers who discovered them, told the media how he responded to seeing the light from his rescuers.
"I did not know what to say, so all I knew what to say was hello to eachother...it was very magical, I was very surprised, I was very shocked...he asked me how I was and I said I was fine."
The football team also explained how they watched the World Cup finals and made a lot of noise in the hospital.

They were released a day earlier than expected.
_______________
'Wild Boars' to appear in front of media to thank rescuers
The 12 boys rescued from the flooded cave in Thailand last week will appear in front of Thai media to thank their rescuers and answer questions from the press.
Immediately after the press conference, the boys are due to return home where they will rest for 30 days.
The Thai government has allowed 45 minutes of airtime on its "Thailand Moves Forward" program for the football team's conference.
The show will be recorded at Chiang Rai's provincial hall and will be broadcast live across dozens of channels.
"The reason to hold this evening press conference is so media can ask them questions and after that they can go back to live their normal lives without media bothering them," Thailand's chief government spokesman Sunsern Kaewkumnerd told AFP.
Thai television presenters joked that the boys will increase the ratings of an otherwise dull television show.
"This is the story all Thais want to hear. Don't switch it off, don't put it on mute," joked a presenter VOICE TV, a television station that is often critical of the military government.
"It should help the Thailand Moves Forward show's ratings shoot through the roof," he added.
The Thai government has asked the international media to respect the boys' privacy after they are discharged.
"The media know that the children are in a difficult situation, they have overcome peril and if you ask risky questions then it could break the law," Tawatchai Thaikaew, deputy permanent secretary at the Justice Ministry, told reporters on Wednesday.
"We don't know what wounds the kids are carrying in the hearts," he added.
The operation to rescue the 'Wild Boars' football team from the Tham Luang cave was shrouded in secrecy. International media were kept at an arm's length from the boys during the operation, and even families of rescued children were not informed that they were out of the cave until days after the rescue.
Images of the boys or exact details of the operation were not clear until after the mission had been completed.

Kat Wightman's tips on how to create zones in large spaces
- Area carpets or rugs are the easiest way to segregate spaces while also unifying them.
- Lighting can help define areas. Try pendant lighting over dining tables, and side and floor lamps in living areas.
- Keep the colour palette the same in a room, but combine different tones and textures in different zone. A common accent colour dotted throughout the space brings it together.
- Don’t be afraid to use furniture to break up the space. For example, if you have a sofa placed in the middle of the room, a console unit behind it will give good punctuation.
- Use a considered collection of prints and artworks that work together to form a cohesive journey.

How the UAE gratuity payment is calculated now
Employees leaving an organisation are entitled to an end-of-service gratuity after completing at least one year of service.
The tenure is calculated on the number of days worked and does not include lengthy leave periods, such as a sabbatical. If you have worked for a company between one and five years, you are paid 21 days of pay based on your final basic salary. After five years, however, you are entitled to 30 days of pay. The total lump sum you receive is based on the duration of your employment.
1. For those who have worked between one and five years, on a basic salary of Dh10,000 (calculation based on 30 days):
a. Dh10,000 ÷ 30 = Dh333.33. Your daily wage is Dh333.33
b. Dh333.33 x 21 = Dh7,000. So 21 days salary equates to Dh7,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service. Multiply this figure for every year of service up to five years.
2. For those who have worked more than five years
c. 333.33 x 30 = Dh10,000. So 30 days’ salary is Dh10,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service.
Note: The maximum figure cannot exceed two years total salary figure.

UK's plans to cut net migration
Under the UK government’s proposals, migrants will have to spend 10 years in the UK before being able to apply for citizenship.
Skilled worker visas will require a university degree, and there will be tighter restrictions on recruitment for jobs with skills shortages.
But what are described as "high-contributing" individuals such as doctors and nurses could be fast-tracked through the system.
Language requirements will be increased for all immigration routes to ensure a higher level of English.
Rules will also be laid out for adult dependants, meaning they will have to demonstrate a basic understanding of the language.
The plans also call for stricter tests for colleges and universities offering places to foreign students and a reduction in the time graduates can remain in the UK after their studies from two years to 18 months.
