when it comes to the border. nothing is straightforward, but the bob reports from a highly minute in most other places, this would probably be called hedging your bets. but the sight of the welsh and english flag side by side is nothing unusual here and honey minish. a place that lies right on the border between the 2 nations. not that you'd notice much of a boundary in this area, just the occasional roadside perhaps. but sitting on the divide does make things a little complicated when england play whales like on tuesday evening on that hearing the cross key dollar welcome, but there's a definite lean towards garrett south gates, england signs a few short facts across the main road in the village and you've gone from england to wales and the dolph in pub, landel, john turned proudly where's his wails top as he gets ready for the big game that the reds have to win. but nothing straightforward. here. he's from london and he's

a, an opening ceremony with all of the anthems for each team. i don't know if you can see the games behind me. they may be just in the middle of half way. i don't know if alice that can pan off onto the pitch at all. but ecuador and cuts are facing off. and then on the other pitch, we've got england, iran, so we all know how those matches went last week. hopefully these fans may be able to get a different result. i was speaking to an english fan earlier. he was telling me about how the english team here it was, was organized by the english football association. and he thinks that probably these guys will be able to get a similar result as i did against iran last week, which was a resounding when he was also telling me about how that was this interesting. what's going on here? the most english fans, they are more worried about the game you guys were talking about just before england and wales. the old rivalry of neighbors out on the pitch later on at 19 g. and one of the big matches later on it's

let it actually show us what it's going to do. and then we informed people of what is happening, a safety communities had health, emergency meetings in preparation for a possible evacuation, though none so far has been called. i'm here because i'm concerned, i hear it over here. mona loa makes up about half the land mass of the big island, the southernmost tip of the hawaiian archipelago. the us geological survey says the russian is currently contained to the volcano summit, about half of mount low as previous russians have stayed there. while half have also saved out through rifts at lower elevations endangering branches and beach side communities. we could be in for a little bit of a long time trying to determine if this is going to be us as someone only option or a summer bus. or if summer option residents are fearing a repeat of 2018. when the erosion of a smaller neighboring volcano destroyed to $700.00 homes,

. what i say is there is no need to single out the right mary racing australia because there is no government taking the risks to carl rapes more seriously have than the australian government. and we're working hand in hand with the claims and government and to protect, restore, and manage the great barrier reef. so that future generations will have the same opportunity to say this magnificent sight as wave head. australia is conducting the largest census of the great barrier reef. the program has collated morgan 50000 images of the heritage site. sarah clark reports from cans it's peak season on the great barrier reef. thousands of tourists spoke to queensland every year to experience one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. eric fisher is a tourism operator. he's also a marine biologist, and understands the importance of protecting a reef under threat. so we're all stakeholders. we all care about the reef, it's

a beautiful i call. so we do, can we do really care about what's going to happen to the reef in the future. it's with that in mind that he signed up to the largest co race census of its kind, thousands of snow closed tourism upright. his fishing charters and recreational divers have joined the program around 50000 images have been collected so far, and 315 reefs had been surveyed. there was just as desperate need for a large scale recognizance of the whole. the great barrier reef is that the so masses, you know, same size is germany, so you're trying to find out what's going on at a much bigger scale of scale. only the current really do by getting it on to help. this is what the citizen scientists are capturing images that identify coral types and document the race health. and the census is collected so much data that it's now signed up schools, which are using artificial intelligence to analyze the imagery. we see lots of

things. we he what some cold bleaching corners stars. ah, crown of thorns starfish like they are the devastations of their ethan is the beauty of it light or these beautiful fish or the sharks. the sea slugs even just like everything as beautiful. it takes a long time to analyze all the images out there that were helping them by analyzing the mass. so this year there was a bleaching event. in fact, had been full of the last 6 years. and climate modeling suggests that from 2040 the could be a big event every year on the great barrier reef. based on the current trajectory, the census is helping scientists identify which co riggs most need protection, what climate change is doing. it is making that the time frame between these like impacts shorda. so it's putting more pressure on the re, just 5 percent of the great barrier reef is surveyed regularly. they scientist.
