It's a brave decision, given the recent lamented death of an experienced cave diver - all we can do is hope it succeeds.

I do not know the way it should work, but do believe it does (or should I say I hope it does?)...

You might come up with a damn good idea they have missed in time to suggest it to them?

On other sites it is 4 already, with outer two int the 3rd chamber - which means that only one serious obstacle in their way out... Sounds promising...

Sounds like at least 4 are out now, so great to hear, was beginning to think they could be trapped in there for several more weeks but it sounds like rising waters forced the rescuers hand and they had to move up the rescue efforts. Hope everything continues to go well.

Sometime you don't have the luxury of time in which to explore every possibility and it sounds like they are doing the right thing to get them out now.
I hope they all get out safely too.

If I give you five apples, and then take three of them away, are you left with trust issues?

Where would you recommend a beginner to start in programming?
I do have a brief understanding of these languages but need help choosing which is the most skillful and practical in the real world to learn and put to use?
I want to do something related solving, building, not just dealing with data. I want to see creations come to life.
1.Python
2.Php
3.HTML/CSS
4.Javaschript
Which shall I choose?

I can't recommend any of those.

Second that.

When you are reading articles about the 'best' programming language to start with, you are about to get a list of popular-easy-to-learn-but-not-really-powerful languages...
But in truth the best language should be one that influenced them and has the complexity that will demand the use of your brain and will teach you ideas, that true for all languages... Only that way you will be able to move on to almost any language you may will have to use...
To anyone serious I would tell to go for C, otherwise turn the dice and pick you number...

For a complete beginner? As the others said, I wouldn't suggest any of those.
Peter's suggestion of C is a good one, but ... it's an old language and suffers from a lot of problems as a result, particularly if you don't know what you are doing. Because it is pointer based and doesn't use strong typing, it's very, very easy to make big mistakes without knowing and have them not show up as bugs until a lot later.
Instead, I'd suggest C# - the language itself is pretty simple (though it's getting more complicated with each revision) and it's also very powerful. It's reference based and garbage collected which means that most of the problems with C have been designed out. It'll take a while to learn properly (because the .NET framework on which it depends is very large) but once learned it can be used to write websites, desktop app,s mobile apps, ... and it's a very popular language in the job market.
All the tools you need to develop apps is available free from Microsoft as well - Google for Visual Studio Community Edition Download and you'll find it. And there are loads of books and courses on the language as well, mostly starting from the "complete beginner" level.
