voice won't make a change. >> the party that comes first would need to form a coalition to run local councils. but they believe the higher the turnout, the bigger its chances to win. four years ago it was the springs, thousands of people took to the streets asking for political reforms. the religiously conservative party emerged as the biggest political block. now its leader is campaigning nationwide with one message. his party is confident it will keep its political gains and stay in power. >> for decades afghanistan has received billions of dollars in international aid. but much of this money has not helped ease poverty. >> reporter: when the taliban fled in 2001, he had high hopes for the new government and came

university in the u.s. used 400,000 measurements as well as satellite data and computer models to get the exact number. it's not all good news though. they did find that 15 billion trees are cut down every year and only 5 billion are planted. at this rate, the earth's trees will disappear within 300 years. freestyle kayaking is a sport only for the brave. it's a mix of white water rafting, figure skating and dare-devil exuberance. >> reporter: freestyle kayakers give names to the waves help ride. but more than fun and games, these are the world
