spokeswoman for mina spoke out about alleged killing. this is a crime the reason it is a crime is that it is your it was his appearance is that torture and killing so at a minimum and what is appearance and if the in if it's true that he was assassinated inside the embassy and they would also be responsible for extradition . so there's a possibility it's clear in the kingdom of saudi arabia it is for them to reveal his fate and his whereabouts this time at least thirty people have been killed in a landslide in eastern new gonda near the border with kenya they were buried after the collapse of a hillside on the slopes of mount god there have been similar incidents in recent years in that area so homes and properties have also been destroyed and various agriculture minister is warning that there could be a shortage of rice that is the country staple food devastating floods have hit large parts of the country destroying crops just as farmers are getting ready for

harvest is that at some of the affected areas for three long weeks floodwaters have covered large parts of jigawa state in the north of nigeria farmlands and damaged roads have become temporary fishing grounds. with their crops rotting in the water some farmers salvage what they can more than one hundred thousand of them have seen this year's harvest wiped out from. through a process and is the whole chain has broken down and as it is it is it is mostly lost of money to the economy and they do have a multiplier effect on the general economy of the state it is really huge huge loss for us only a few of the states rice farmers escaped the flood waters. more than a thousand hectares of this rice sam has been under water for more than three weeks now the owners say the crop is rotten and lost he like many other farmers would

have to find a way of feeding their families before the next harvest that is if the floodwaters don't return sure i can borrowed money to expand his farm here in the head age of rally in the hopes of more crops and bigger profits. when our music at the woman with a started last year and made a lot of money this year a trickle in of two thousand five hundred dollars to increase output and lost everything experts blaming climate change for the floods and i warning of long term consequences it is weren't retired in the first place the right if for food security. and ultimately government may have to take very serious and my this is just to meet the immediate needs of the old the victims that have been affected this is disaster came when nigeria's borders

are still closed to rise imports are staple for most families. in one of the state's most affected of issues a helping to ease the pain of some farmers by giving out seat we are now in the process of given them hybrid seeds mature in seed so that they will use it a c germany at least two or to get something out of their land but that may not be enough to save the farmers from economic ruin across eighteen states in nigeria more than two hundred thousand hectares of crops have been destroyed in addition to lives crops and homes there's been a significant damage to infrastructure. forced to right can use what highways existed these villagers not only escaped death when they wouldn't build capsize a reminder to the flood has receded the threat to life remains.

we joined now jerry or at least six people have died in one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit the united states and after michael made landfall many coastal towns in florida are still cut off the state's governor rick scott says the storm has left a trail of unimaginable destruction and gallagher reports. this is what remains of mexico beach a community that officials say has been all but wiped out the eye of hurricane michael came ashore with devastating consequences. most heeded the warnings to leave the search for those that ignored the evacuation orders is growing increasingly desperate when the storm hit it brought winds of two hundred fifty kilometers an hour making it one of the most powerful hurricanes to make landfall in the us it was like our lives are gone you know our lives everything we have is gone now the stuff we lost our cars everything the stuff the start of. a racket. a store to store and just hard to realize just what just happened to step

it surviving it is the best the most important thing i think if we just be able to survive in nearby panama city to the picture is grim the cleanup here will be time consuming and costly but search and rescue efforts are a priority the national guard are on the ground along with search and rescue crews but challenges remain one of the things that is compounding the problems here are situations like this where you've got downed trees and they are everywhere all across the florida panhandle and that is especially important for one reason that means the emergency services search and rescue can still not get to the areas where they're most needed as the powerful storm headed in london brought misery to georgia and the carolinas but it's what happened here along the florida panhandle that will leave the longest lasting impact on the gallacher al-jazeera eastpointe florida. the search for survivors from an earthquake and tsunami in indonesia has been extended until friday firefighters and soldiers are conducting their final

searches in the city. the rescue effort was extended at the request of the families and today she says it could take up to two years to rebuild earthquake devastated cell alessi island more than two thousand people have been confirmed dead and the u.n. secretary general has praised the indonesian government for its quick response to the disaster and terrorism arrived on the island of sello s.c. where thousands are feared buried under the rubble i must say that i have a lot of admiration for what has been an extremely effective response of the indonesian government of course when we see is the of a station we are broken in there are still probably one thousand bodies movies rubble in front of us but the resilience of the indonesian people and the quick response and effective response of the indonesian government deserve the admiration of the international community and i hope they'll be a lot of support for the reconstruction for these people to be able to see again

life we hope that and redemption government seems to be reluctance in taking international aid in in a way that you know there is say that ok well the u.n. is already working with the russian government with we are embedded in the effort that is being done on the ground we have launched already an appeal we are working fully with the usual government but one single must be clear it's important that the leadership must be the local leadership its indonesian government that can lead these efforts the international community should be here to support not to complicate see sometimes too many people try to get involved in sings and then of course the support of the populations is not as effective as it should be indonesian government is doing a very good job and we are seeing to support them in line with their own strategy. varia as one of germany's richest states and also one of its most socially conservative it's been governed by sister party the christian social union for much of the past sixty years but on sunday elect

a new parliament one of the main issues has been emigration and it came reports from the very end where the subject has polarized opinion on an early autumnal day looks like a scene from a postcard in this placid place the thought of an intense election battle seems distant and yet these are the voters all parties must convince which subjects are most important to them it's not like it was two years ago it's calmed down a lot when the big refugee wave happened it was a bit weird but now the topic as i see it is no longer current it seems being critical of closing borders i don't think it works i think the trolls yes but closing borders is nonsense i don't need to talk about europe and then close the borders and that's the issue which propelled the politics of this state into national into european prominence over the course of this past year with the governing christie and social union here threatening to topple the national coalition if it didn't get its way and yet right now in this campaign it finds

itself on the defensive over this issue. in news conferences c.s.u. ministers admit the effect immigration has had you have military we have had many irritations in the past few years the higher number of refugees that came into our country the question of integration and the big controversy about that merlin but the most important factor is we are concentrating on a strong campaign. in recent months the c.s.u. has sought to move further to the right to prevent the populist anti immigrant a.f.d. from encroaching on to its grand but analysts say ministers in berlin have resisted c.s.u. plans for the sea as you could always promise and proposed but in fact they couldn't bring home anything they promised they over promised and under the liver this is why conservatives now turn their back on them and flock to the after is that which explains why that party is heading to sunday's election with confidence i think

it's important for the country to get the a fifty into the year in parliament. to make it very also one of the states that. support opposition against merkel. and yet in this deeply conservative state there are signs not everyone likes the right would trend in politics many here in key say they want their politicians to concentrate on schools health and mainstream issues the local green candidate says he thinks his party could spring a surprise in this election we'll know if he's right on sunday evening dominic kane al-jazeera in bavaria there's military as grounding it's expensive war planes following a crash last month it's believed engine problems caused an f.

dollars on the open market experts say the carving was made around two thousand five hundred years ago during the time of persepolis the capital of the committed dynasty the first persian empire which was sacked by alexander the great early explorers picked away at the ruins for centuries before it was declared a world heritage site and when we do need to test the gentry just after supper this was one of the first archaeological sites registered with us go and this piece is part of human heritage and it was returned to iran through a legal and judicial work and we are very much. for centuries this minute soldiers stood guard at the ruins of persepolis stolen in nineteen thirty six he spent the next eighty years bouncing from private collections to museums to auction houses in canada and the united states it was only after recording new york interviewed in twenty seventeen that the process began to bring him home in a country seemingly awash with ancient sites early islam

a carol ones are carefully preserved while many previous slavic structures are crumbling away. experts say preserving even more of its old ancient heritage is something that could help iran connect with people around the world. a cultural exchange of hundreds of artifacts between the drenched museum in the netherlands and the national history museum in teheran is already bringing people closer together people speak a lot about politics and we do not in politics we are people from the cultural fields and we strongly believe that culture can change people and debris can bring people together and that we can enjoy from each other's lessons each other's art and just to enjoy saying so and so i think. which are illegal and of a condition should be should be brought back to the place of origin this soldier's troubles are not over he will go on tour to museums across iran so as many people as possible can enjoy this national treasure. saved by the americans from

what happened to me. this is a crime the reason it is a crime is that it is your influences if you insist that the incompetence and the killings. at minimum and one of his appearance i mean. if it's true he was assassinated inside the embassy and they would also be responsible for its existence and. so the responsibility is clear in the kingdom of saudi arabia to then to his fate is where since time and there has been backlash against saudi arabia over the murder allegations a number of companies are halting plans with the saudi government to appear at a state sponsored conference called the future investment initiative the founder of virgin group richard branson says of proved true it will be difficult for the west to do business with the saudi government is spending to tourism projects with the cane demand discussions about investment in his space companies and saying american pastor at the center of a diplomatic dispute between the u.s. and turkey has arrived in court for

headlines keep it her on al-jazeera throughout the day up next the story. i mean his story is a for the every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the world's journalists these two voices journalists were one of the few journalists that were actually doing investigative work listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most bias the rights to those stories but then he never publishes those stories they're listening posts on al-jazeera. femi oke a lot of the welfare organizations and activists are in london this week for the illegal wildlife trade conference hoping to develop new strategies to combat a lucrative industry we'll speak with a few to hear how they're working to stop what they call

a war on wildlife. and here in the stream some of your comments on twitter or in our you tube live chat but first let's take a look at this video from the world wants life on to get an idea of how widespread this issue is around the globe.

it's good to have on the stream today some of the activists working to end wildlife crime in london bomb of the phillips is a former al-jazeera correspondent who is now the communications director for the elephant protection initiative in chicago illinois angela grimes is the interim c.e.o. of born free usa that's a nonprofit organization working to protect wildlife in the natural habitats and in the studio we have you know hamburg an ass senior director of public policy for vulcan which focuses on issues related to the environment and global security hello everybody it's really good to have you going to start with barnaby the idea of conserving and conservation of elephants this is been going on for decades and decades and decades. obviously there's still an issue the way that the elephant protection it is looking at this issue is slightly different tell us why.

well i think what's important about the elsom protection initiative the e.p.i. is that it is an african led solution it's it's a coalition of nineteen african countries and they're very very different kinds of countries to be honest it's hard to generalize about them their anger phone francophone looser phone some of them like botswana and kenya very well established clubs of asian country to be like large elephant populations some of them like angola liberia coming out of civil war some of the night somalia in south sudan still in devastating was in the case of somalia that's really with virtually no elephants or tools so it's hard to generalize about them but what's interesting is that these one thousand governments who ultimately are my masters if you like are coming together and saying you know in one of the part the world you need to listen to us these are african solutions to conserving elephants we do very much want to

conserve our wildlife we want to protect our environment we do need financial help from elsewhere but you have to listen to our approaches and our priorities because a i think that's a great point barnaby. introduction noticed represent paul allen's technology organization vulcan and much of our work begins with listening to the end user walking with the rangers listening to the rangers what is their average day look like what are their concerns for their problems how do we make their lives easier and integrating technology in their everyday life over trying to create something that is out of context that might be working for a western audience but it's not going to be culturally or technologically appropriate for the folks on the ground. and when you come out of from a point of looking at the you know the the interface between human and wildlife

and looking at solutions that benefit bolts that's where you can have success when you're looking at the ground when you're looking at humans wildlife and how the solutions come together to benefit all parties involved that's where we're going to see long term success. and it was right that we shouldn't kid ourselves the dial m. is our very acute i'll give you an example i was in chad in central africa just last week talking to a farmer in a very impoverished area whose crops have been completely destroyed by a herd of elephants now there's no prospect of tourism in that area there's no system of compensation set up for people whose livelihood has been destroyed by wildlife and who am i to go and lecture that far a farmer his name was use of about the morality of conserving these wonderful elephants so that our children and grandchildren can see them and then use of this dilemma i suppose i was really confronted not just with the practical problems of

conserving elephants which i dearly want to do but also the morality of finding a solution that works for everybody on this increasingly crowded planet you know when you talk about merging that duality barnaby i want to bring up a conversation that i'm seeing online here so this first tweet is from candy she says there is a war on people living around conservation areas that war is led by and this is her term here con servatius who pretend to love animals more than the people on whose territory those conservation area said so all of our guests here today seem to be talking about that idea but then how do you merge it with the people who do want to promote conservation i want to share this tweet here to pick up on that this is from the world wildlife fund u.k. and they share this there is an elephant and london here is why you can see the picture of this elephant that is roaming around the streets of the streets of london and this is why we had to bring an elephant into the city to be reminded of

their struggle in the wild thousands of miles away and of course the disclaimer is it's a hologram it's not actually an elephant but barnaby how do you merge those two conversations wanting to educate conservationists but also then having the input of people whose home communities include animals like this. it is challenging what we're seeing increasingly across africa and let's put this in context there are one point two billion people in africa that's an awful lot more than when i was a small boy and in twenty fifty there will be twice that amount the human demographic growth in africa is dramatic and it's difficult to get away from that finding a solution that works for a large dangerous animals like elephants like lions and increasing numbers of people is very very difficult it works in some countries to an extent countries like botswana or kenya fences work tourism works wildlife economies work

but is that going to work in a remote part of chad or the democratic republic of congo or south sudan that both those over the difficult on so that we in the conservation world have to grapple with have to grapple with suggests what i wanted today in the same particular was on pack how the business side of poaching action and there's an al-jazeera show called tech now and they try to trace. all the way back to thailand to explore how animal trafficking routes actually operate have a look. this is bangkok thailand zero at the world's largest flea markets we can shoppers can find almost anything including cage after cage full of exotic pets for the right price you can buy rare and even endangered species a south american mcarthur a monitor lizard an african tortoises to just name a few. techno shot this video at the busy chat to check markets with the camera

after a shop owner offered to sell us but look like a protected. this is why the world wildlife fund now recognizes this market as a hotspot for the illegal animal tricked. and one hundred videos a good transition to this tweet we got because of course we started this conversation talking about elephants but your show here says though it is not only about elephants and rhinos the illegal trade of birds is also a huge issue in every region of the world let's hash tag in wildlife crime so that goes into the idea that there are other animals targeted what other animals are you looking at and should really the world be focused on that no this is a widespread illegal market a little known animal the pangolin is the world's most illegally traded animal in the world than i'm sure that most of your audience have never heard about it the name of the good now and i'm going to show them a picture wonderful yes it's a mammal with scales that's right in many people in asia and elsewhere skin

and want to pursue it but the name of the game whose money i've never met a person who has animosity towards an elephant or a rhino there is a money making industry here that people up and down the illicit supply chain have tapped into and it's the same people who are smuggling drugs arms and humans around the world and it's really up to the international community has more to be pointed out to working together the resources and tools to go after this so we don't leave one sector of the listed market behind more highly recognize illegal behavior and yeah this is a crime scene and we're not using. it sorry for me i mean often often you know of course elephants are important to me but often we use elephants or tigers or lions what we call charismatic megafauna. as vehicles to conserve whole ecosystems because if you you know you can so you can see the elephant but then you

conserve the forest and all the other animals the penguins and the inserts and all the other little creatures and that creates a better we hope more sustainable environment for all of us so if you like that there the entry point to why do conservation. here's the here's the point i think we missed this a lot in responding to this crisis we need to start looking at these animals in their part of commodities and then try to understand how they flow around the world and then pick the show points around the world in the supply chain to boost their resources and their three areas essentially is the supply chain the national parks and you can technology and park rangers and support from inside countries and outside the u.k. u.s. committed military personnel soldiers to go in africa and help to train and equip there you have to supply chain poor it's shipping industry transshipment points we need to find the most important areas where these products transfers through an ad

resources and then this is a demand side in china in southeast asia more broadly with these commodities have values that are are of a cultural in order nature raising awareness vulcan has released a film about this called the ivory game and that's one part of bringing stories killing some of these ancient traditions that people and john just looking at a list of really tell market prices for various exotic animals and african great power it can go at ten thousand dollars a slow loris one hundred forty five that's reasonably cheap gorilla i think i have trouble thinking that somebody would alter my gorilla four hundred thousand dollars but you have seen this happen people do you buy a wildlife as bad as i live for a little bit you know so you're going to go to you see this every day all the time and in fact with the rise of the intern.
