southeastern turkey to the u.s. led coalition that's launching strikes against isil. turkey itself launched some attacks against isil targeted, but the turkish government has also launched attacks against p.k.k. targets in southeastern turkey, and in iraq. in fact, most of the airstrikes in recent times have been against p.k.k. targets, and at the same time, there's been a wave of arrests around the country by that the people suspected of being in the p.k.k., of people also suspected of belonging to this extreme group, as well as people suspected of being involved with isil. turkey said it faces a security threat on many front. while as i said, no one's claimed responsibility for these attacks, you could draw a connection perhaps to what's been happening in the last 24 hours, the last week or so, and the crackdown on the security threats that turkey faces in the country. >> it's been a while since those

9:20 am
5 million last century. it's not easy to stop hunting. in africa, the industry is worth around $675 million, and it's created jobs, 70,000 in south africa alone, where there is a high rate of unemployment. we have a report from one wildlife reserve where hunters say they are helping conservation efforts. >> winter in south africa brings with it the hunting season. we are at a private game reserve in the province home to thousands of piled animals. this local hunter and his team are on the lookout for their first kill with that. >> this is the right place to stop, they normally occur here. >> there is a flat area when you go through this mountain, yeah? >> it can take days to find the right animal.

>> it's fresh from the signs of it. >> it's exhilarating, a challenge, if you're stalking the animal, looking for the animal. >> at this 3,300 heck tar private reserve, they maintain the ecological balance. for this veteran, hunting is a way of life. >> we stayed on the farm and yes, it was just part of life. you know the hunting scenario. we stayed in a farm where there was no meat available for us. >> his tarts finally in sight, he takes aim. more than 7,000 international hunters visited south africa two years ago, more than half of them from the united states. they contributed millions to the economy. >> these lions are kept at a separate enclosure at the reserve for touristion and
9:22 am
conservation. they are not hunted, but it's the killing of a famous lion in neighboring zimbabwe that caused controversy. many say it's cruel, unethical and splittens endangered species. the hunter that killed cecil did not follow regulations. >> the future of the wildlife, of the economic contribution of hunting, decisions rewarding that cannot be -- >> zimbabwe's community based wildlife conservation probable campfire believes human wildlife contact should be managed. >> there can be a balance between hunting and conservation. from experience, you cannot hunt unless you have made a direct contribution to the conservation of the specie. >> while the sport and passion continues to be legal, this time, a smile did not make a
9:23 am
kill. a campaign highlights the cruelty of hunting. what do you make of this argument that hunting contributes millions of dollars to the economy and much of that money then goes back towards conserving the species? >> the reality is that hunting, big game hunting has gone on for decades, centuries. what it has contributed is the loss, the devastating loss of many species of animals. that's not just cecil the lion who has heard about in recent weeks that's been a victim of the big game trophy hunting industry, but it's been hundreds of thousands of other animals. we've seen just the lion population alone in africa decline massively as you talked about earlier by 40% in the last
9:24 am
20 years. in india, we saw in the days of rudyard kip ling, when he wrote jungle book, 100,000 filingerrion roaming, and 1,800 are left. the courts moved in to ban the practice, while at the same time, the trophy hunters wanted to keep can i go. >> this has gone on for centuries. people are always going to want to hunt. doesn't regulated hunting limit at least poaching? >> there is no evidence of that. we are still seeing huge numbers of animals taken illegally, including with cecil in zimbabwe by someone who is a member of a professional hunting association. there is a thin venire here for the professional hunters to use the conservation argument simply to allow them to carry on with their business as usual. their business as usual is actually wiping out africa's
9:25 am
wildlife. the real answer is to build on the eco tourism, going out to africa to shoot a lion or an elephant with a camera instead of a gun. that in fact, that global industry is worth something like $40 billion, and is growing, but if africa's not careful, it's going to allow this industry to wipe out its greatest asset. >> does that eco industry bring in more revenue than hunting. >> by a very long way. in kenya, you see half a billion dollars contributed to the economy, just through people going out on safari to look at animals through binoculars or take photographs. i was out there just a few weeks ago, in south africa and hen i can't and looked into the eyes of a lioness. it was a moving experience. because it gives people a thrill, because they want the head of a lion stuck on the wall
9:26 am
of their dentist practice or their living room to go out and spend that amount of money, that's not conservation. that's thrill seekers who want to change lives. >> how do you stop people wanting to hunt and get those trophies? >> well, i think first of all, we have to ask ourselves the question is it right, is it ethical and morale to take the lives of animals simply to feed the demand of the hunting community. we need to start by stopping the trophy hunting of the big game animals, animals like cecil. lets make hills legacy a permanent ban on the trophy hunting of lions and follow it by stopping the hunting of other big game animals such as elephants, which are in terrible decline. >> good to speak to you, thanks very much for joining us there from london. >> thank you.
9:27 am
>> let's move over to the weather. we can cross to richard, and we're going to move to east africa, aren't we, because heavy rain there. >> yes, heavy rain. i've come back from safari several weeks ago, the grass is two meters high plus, so finding animals is quite a challenge. >> satellite imagery, you can see showers further into kept i can't and tanzania. the glasses will begin to die back and animals easier to view. there are heavy showers for ethiopia through the highlands. the rain extending further towards the west, towards the central african republic and away towards the gulf of guinea. it looks as though it will be quite heavy rain. across west africa, we are seeing particularly heavy rain from these storm systems coming
9:28 am
through in the east flow across ghana and through particularly senegal, we're seeing very heavy rain. look at the forecast, these are the areas picking up heavy rain. further towards the south, there are dry seasons. it is somewhat dry. you can see the circulation which is affecting parts of mali. there could be torrential rain. mauritania, much needed rain, but certainly across this region, the rain heavy enough to cause flooding in the coming days. >> lots more still to come here on al jazeera, including indonesia suffering from chronic malnutrition problem that's not only stunting people, but also the economy. >> doctors in deadlock, no deal in ghana between the government and doctors, could see a full scale strike. >> in sport, injured

haiti after its long delayed parliamentary elections. the poll was marred by delays and disorder and some reports of fraud. >> malnutrition is a global problem. the latest report from the world food program says 795 million people do not have enough food for an active, healthy life. that's about one in nine people on earth. sub sahara africa has the highest prevalence of hunger, one in four undernourished. >> malnutrition stunted the growth of a quarter of the world's children. >> the fifth highest child malnutrition rates in the world. >> his tummy hurts. at three years old, he should be bigger and he still can't talk or walk.
9:32 am
four siblings have already died of malnutrition, caused by a lack of food and newt recent, his father shows us how he sometimes eats the crumbled bricks of the wall. >> i often wait for my husband all day to bring money. he often comes home emtip handled. our children cry at home, asking for food, but we cannot give it. >> this is some of what they can afford, stale rice, full of and thes, we're told it's duck food. this kind of diet is impacting millions of children across indonesia. >> malnourished stunted children are smaller, their brain development is different, their intelligence is not as good as other kids. there is a lack of knowledge by the parents we need to teach them that needs to be addressed. >> one of the causes is poverty,
9:33 am
the lack of opportunity and no access to education. it's something that affects millions of people. what ma means here is indonesia is that one third of children under five years old are stunted. that's according to world are bank report, but what that means is that they don't develop properly. ma worry that could have implications on this countries future. >> that's something the word bank has been pushing the indonesia government to take seriously. >> it's a sense of prosperity, you are not making use of the potential that close to 40% of population. it's at simple as that. you're having people out there, but these people are doomed to fail. in society, they are not going to be able to contribute to generating prosperity, right? >> the government has programs in place that deal with malnutrition, but the figures show that stunting has not improved since 2010.
9:34 am
his older brother is 23 years old, but malnutrition has meant lack of physical and mental development. many worry if nothing is done, that a third of crimean children could face the same fate. >> let's bring in more now on those attacks in turkey, our top story. over the last two weeks, turkish security forces moved against several groups at once, a limited number of strikes have been launched on isil in syria. a broader offensive is due to begin soon, and u.s. jets are now using turkish bases in northern syria. the main target has been the p.k.k. of turkish strikes. the government has moved against a group known as the revolutionary people's liberation party front, or
9:35 am
dhkpc. many of their members have been arrested in nationwide raised since july. a group was behind a suicide bombing in the embassy two years ago. a specialist on turkey's domestic politics joins us now. let's look at who might have targeted the u.s. consulate. could this group, the dhkpc be responsible again? what do we know about them? >> this is a radical marxist group with an anti u.s. perspective. their attacks, operations petitioner extremely amateurish and limited. it would not be terrorize surprising that this group today targeted the u.s. consulate in istanbul. >> would it be linked to the other attack we've seen on the asian side of istanbul.
9:36 am
>> i think on the asian side, it appears that perhaps the p.k.k. may have carried out an attack in which one policeman was killed. we also saw the p.k.k. also, the kurdistan workers party whose attacks tend to be much more sophisticated and well planned also attacked and killed four policemen in southeastern turkey today, close to the iraqi, turk irborder. >> the finger of blame does seem to be pointing toward the p.k.k. for the violence that we've seen there. we now perhaps are going to see a more intense campaign against the kurdish group. >> i think that the military campaign by the turkish government will intensify and the retaliatory actions by the p.k.k. will also intensify. what we are seeing now is that more and more turkish security forces are being targeted and killed by the p.k.k. and we're
9:37 am
seeing that the turkish military is intensifying the air campaign in northern turkey and iraq. >> turkey's military choices seem to be making it much more vulnerable. do they have the public support behind them? >> i think that the turkish public is quite skeptical over the government's policy towards syria, and an opinion poll came out just a few days ago indicating the turkish public is unhappy with the government's policy towards iraq and syria. most turks want turkey to owe hoe not to be dragged into the quagmire in syria and implosion in iraq and want to hermetically seal is your key from instability in the middle east to spill over into turkey. >> yet we are hearing of a bigger offensive against another enemy of ankara, isil.
9:38 am
what might that look like? >> i think now that turkey will join with the united states, target much more intensively the islamic state in syria with a negative blow book into turkey, perhaps targeting some of the soft diplomatic representations. the tourist sites areas in turkey, so there's no doubt that turkey now is entering a two front war, one against the p.k.k. and another against the islamic state and that will have some serious pee percussions on turkey's security and stability. >> it's very volatile. thanks for joining us. >> iraq's former prime minister al-maliki has come out in support of prime minister's al abadi's plans to reform the
9:39 am
government. a series of reforms would cut several searer posts. it follows weeks of dome machine distributions for better services. we have more from baghdad. >> many people support the prime minister's decisions, but the government must implement these reforms and yet, there's a lot of cynicism on the streets here and other parts of the country about just how long it will take parliament to actually debate these issues. when it comes to parliamentary issues, a lot of times in the past in iraq, the ugly sectarian politics has raised its head. it is suspected that could happen again. parliamentians here under an immense amount of pressure to pass reforms, to make sure people get basic services, like
