developments here mainly about the role of iran and also what is of the major concern to israel iran's role in neighboring syria prime minister netanyahu has said again that he will do everything to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons but also from in trenching itself as he puts it in neighboring syria and i think he also wants to give the message in the region that israel is a player here among next to alongside the u.s. and russia that its own security interest alongside those 2 partners but there's a lot of stake indeed for israel what does israel hope to achieve by hosting these talks. and i think one of the main concerns for israel is iran's role in neighboring syria and this is not just what's happening now but also in the near future we're talking about a post war syria so we have heard prime minister saying prime minister netanyahu

sell it on a coach travel to the bait national park in kabul and met the rangers who protect the elephants there. in the community. for them and his empty poaching team this is the easy part of the job not far from their station in low pay national park they're gathering data on flora and fauna. who live from. the family of elephants passed through here and ate here almost. impossible and then they moved here to the food and left their traces. teen normally spends up to 14 days in the national park to collect data and keep an eye out for poachers thanks to the rangers the nature reserve has experienced no major wildlife crime in the last 2 years. but they say poachers are still active in the national parks close to the border with the republic of congo with
12:18 pm
a mixture of dense forest and grassland slope is one of 13 national parks established in cabo in 2002 it's a unesco world heritage site and home to elephants panthers gorillas buffalo and over 400 bird species his days the elephants pose more of a problem than the poachers do and important part of the work of the park manager and his team is communicating with the residents of the villages on the edges of the national park. initially there were lots of elephants in the northern zone. but then they started encroaching on built up areas. we realised that the elephants were more or less fleeing the interior of the forest because of growing pressure from poachers from the south and southwest. who were.
12:19 pm
just waned on constantly gets calls about elephants entering the villages for the park management dealing with the concerns of the local people is a major priority the elephants destroyed their fields and plantations the basis of their livelihoods. thanks to fences that the park officials have set up around the villages the elephants are slowly retreating back into the forest. in 3 of the villages electric fences protect the plantations. these fences are inspected on a regular basis and the local say they're feeling much safer again. with us and we've been going hungry for 2 years people were losing weight there wasn't enough to eat but this year we have enough again we have vegetables we've been able to harvest what we planted to get. the cooperation between the park management and local residents. is proving successful for. the fences in these communities have also come as a relief. if it was costing
12:20 pm
a lot of money it takes $46.00 people to chase away 3 elephants elephants not a dog it's not a sheep that you can push away with elephants you have to be very strategic and vigilant. the balancing act between protecting the park and helping local sustain their livelihoods calls for careful planning and grew up here like many of the rangers he's confident that humans and wildlife can co-exist peacefully. and moves we do this so that our children can see what we are seeing today today we only read about dinosaurs and books. we can just drive animals to extinction kill them without a 2nd thought. that would be a big problem. tomorrow will be back at work in low pay national park and the rangers and villagers will continue to maintain the fences that can help to ensure their future. to the women's world cup in france now where the favorite the
12:21 pm
united states just barely made it through to the quarterfinals with a somewhat controversial win over spain the u.s. seemed to be cruising to a 4th straight easy win thanks to an early penalty but a mistake on defense let to a spectacular shot by spain's yeah any harm also to tie the match late in the 2nd half a questionable penalty against a spanish side was upheld by the video referee and the u.s. took advantage to secure the victory sure one was the sport. yannick spikes from d.w. sports is here with me to talk about the sound of a much tougher side and match for the u.s. they breezed through the group stage but that was no easy game no that was much tougher as you just mentioned they scored 18 unanswered goals in the group stages but against spain they came up against a different base and they provided the u.s.
12:22 pm
as rivals with a reason for hope they really found some chinks in the obama it was not a come from the moments at all defensive errors of course and not a comfortable when too many of their best players were off pace and i think that falls on the coach jill alice i don't think she provided a viable game plan for the u.s. to to win the match will get through spain and she didn't come up with a plan and then as we say here i had to rely on a fairly contentious penalty to get the win and that doesn't really screen world cup champions does it so i think again the coachella she has some some questions to answer she started an unfit player now it's morgan leaving cali lloyd on the bench as well as others as she didn't. act reactively to to change the match when she could of so now they are up against their next match is up against france team france what do they need to change to really make a chance of winning that game yes a france is a is a different base again to spain that easily a better team than spain and they will punish the us if they don't shop an op i
12:23 pm
think as i mentioned needs to one pick the right personnel but she also needs to be more reactive rather than passive friends will punish us and she will have to make substitutions of the right times when the us needs them but at the end of the day. it is the best team in the world it is and these players are the ones that will walk li change this match i think that they can almost play the game themselves that are good and we saw some fighting words from megan rapinoe reckoning rip a no off the match in his shoes let's have a listen to what she had to say that's broken above a bridge right there you just you can't replicate it there's no way to express it or teach it there was a few of us out in the field though kind of like halfway through the 2nd half or like at the level we need to go up a level not only here was just a tempo and i mean you're a little bit so that's a game how about they only get harder more intense and here are my plan for their lives so i think that's the best part about honestly like i love it this is the 1st
12:24 pm
date. so yeah megan rapinoe even though she didn't have the best and she still scored 2 goals and you see the confidence of these players they know they can do better and i think they'll lift their game against france if the team to beat her all these years now we had to knock out state and knock out matches excuse me yesterday who else went to the choir i guess the other match was sweden against canada sweden also a very tough team very strong defensively but they also have the attackers to get the job done and we have some highlights here to show you as well and with the open no was scored with no one of a combination between cause of a slimy and patna. blast and you'll see and hear the goal here lovely pass from aslan in through to bless them and a beautiful finish and that's how finished it was one nil the end sweden a well deserved win but i did have a scare late in the 2nd half a penalty awarded for hempel but fortunately the keeper had a clean how managed a fantastic save and that's where sweden a strong the defense really pulls
12:25 pm
a few of the top teams and problems they are coming up against germany next and i think germany will have to be at the top of their game to get through that defense through that defensive through that goalkeeper best wines in the tournament now there are still 2 round of 16 matches who's coming up tonight yes it's not we have it's lee who are a bit of surprise package i took the group which not many people expected them to do and they're coming up against china who used to be one of the powerhouses of women's football and then the other match another interesting match up the netherlands who are looking very strong the defending european champions and count them as one of the favorites for the storm and they're coming up against japan's a 2 pretty interesting match is looking forward looking forward to the great wonderful ahead of us amazing amazing great stuff for you to start from you have use for us greatly appreciate it it's always. and we're going to stay with for volubly have topped group c. in the men's copa america after defeating chile one nil both sides created opportunities in the contest but it took that telly 82nd minute to break through
