Footage from the camera in the mine shows that paramedic has arrived at foot of the shaft. The next miner to be rescued will be Mario Sepulveda. He is known to the group as "the presenter" for his role in compiling and narrating video diaries. He is thought to be the miner most likely to become a media star after all this is over. The camera from the mine shows him being fitted out in a green waterproof suit, of the kind that will be issue to all the miner. It is designed to let their skin breathe as they ascend.

President Piñera describes the rescue as a "miracle". He says adversity brings strength to Chileans. "Some people lost their faith, but some never lost it. We have not cracked. We promised to find them and we have. To bring them out safe and sound was the last promise to them." Piñera says the Avalos family hug will live forever in the memory of Chileans. "Thank you for transmitting your faith and hope," he said. "This rescue effort has been so wonderful. The Chilean people have shown the rest of the world what they are capable of," Piñera says.

Mario Sepulveda is the second miner to be brought to the surface. He is 39 years old and married with two children. A union activist he used his video commentaries to criticise the owners of the mine. His wife Elvira described her husband as a born leader. "He's a braveheart. He is never ashamed to say anything to anyone... He never trusted this mine."

Sepulveda arrives grinning in his sunglasses. He hugs his wife and then takes out pieces of rock from a bag he took with him from the mine. He presents the rocks to the rescue workers and the mining minister. There are great scenes as he leads rescue workers in chants of Long Live Chile, while punching the air vigorously. He looks very fit and well, but he is still taken away on a stretcher to be checked out by medics.

All eyes are on the winch again as we wait for Sepulveda, the second miner to be rescue. His wife Elvira is being comforted by President Piñera (he's everywhere).

Here's comes Juan Illanes. His wife approached the capsule looking very cheerful. Piñera is there again, he seems intent on meeting every miner. "It was like a cruise," Illanes as he emerges from the capsule. Lots of hugs for the rescuers and the politicians. He too looks in remarkably good shape but is also taken away on a stretcher.
Juan Illanes is the third miner to be rescued. A former soldier he is credited with maintaining discipline among the miners. He has a wife and a son who is studying engineering. After celebrating his birthday over a video link, his wife, Baeza Illanes, said: "This year it's difference because he's further away than ever in the conditions he's in now. But his whole family is sending him lots of strength and love, because he knows we're all supporting him."
6.16am(2.05am Chile): Next up will be Carlos Mamani Soliz, who as a Bolivian is the only non-Chilean in the group. He had only been working at the mine for four days when the accident happened.
7.08am(7.08am Chile):
Mamani has made it up. Veronica and the the waiting politicians clutch Bolivian flags. Mamani gets out and goes to his knees crossing himself before embracing his wife. She looks so pleased. "Welcome to the surface," says Piñera, who passes on greetings from Morales who is expected later.
Carlos Mamani is the fourth to be rescued. His wife Veronica had initiatly complained publicly about the Bolivian government's attitude towards her and her family. But she changed her opinion after meeting Morales. His father-in-law Johnny Quispe was one of the last men to escape the San Jose mine before it collapsed. Quispe said: "I'm 80% sure he will be OK. I will only be 100 per cent sure when I'm holding him in my arms".
7.01am(3.01am Chile): Here comes the fourth miner. The pattern is becoming familiar now. The wife of the trapped miner, in this case Veronica, has been invited to approach the rescue capsule as it emerges from the shaft. At first glance she looks unconcerned - she is sipping a hot drink from a foam cup. But when the camera moves in for a close up she looks tense.
8.11am (4:11 am Chile):
Jimmy Sanchez, 18, is the fifth miner to be brought to the surface. The youngest of the 33 men, his role has been a temperature monitor. He told his father he cried as he sang on the video that the men sent to the surface. Cheers go up as Sanchez emerges from the capsule. he hugs his father Juan. He doesn't look as hale and hearty as the others. Now he is being strapped into a stretcher before being taken into the field hospital.
