8:14 am
spent 2 weeks in geneva switzerland forging an agreement on how to regulate the buying and selling of species under threat take the maaco shark for instance it's the fastest shark in the world but human appetite for its flesh and fins means it's quickly this appearing from our oceans the convention delegates agreed to better protect it from trade in commercial fishing they also voted to protect some species you might think are under threat like 2 kinds of alter there's more. they may be really adorable but they use cheeky little creatures are in danger conservationists i oughta numbers are declining and the species could one day be extinct one of the main culprits social media images such as these that generate a demand for offices as pets. and acceptability of having a pet when someone creates
8:15 am
a false narrative on their instagram accounts about how great it is to have a pet by showing cute videos cute photos. glamorizing what is one fact it's the animal suffering animals you might not. even imagined could be endangered in fact giraffes for instance particularly in pots of waste central and east africa they're threatened by habitat loss drought and the tried in body pots for the 1st time the countries have agreed to regulate the stright not ban it. that all international trade into raf's will now be regulated by the treaty to make sure any trade whether it's trophies or products is sustainable and legal but when it comes to elephant ivory enron or horns global trade is outright illegal and it will stay that way some southern african nations had wanted to sell government aren't ivory stockpiles but others successfully argued that fuel demond and illegal poaching the

un has warned over a 1000000 animal and plant species face extinction environmentalist believe much more needs to be dumb to stop the decline in biodiversity that they say is unprecedented. or talk to. his the wildlife practice policy manager for the world wide fund for nature and joins us from geneva thanks for being with us. first of all give us a sense of where things stand with respect to wildlife diversity how serious is the current decline. the climate is really critical at this stage there's a multitude of factors that are playing there's climate change there's loss and degradation of habitat there's alien invasive species and then what's being talked about here in geneva the moment is over exploitation that's driven by international trade and demand in other countries and you talk about international trade in
8:17 am
demand the measures are being greeted agreed upon there in geneva to protect wildlife species from those threats and others how effective do you think these measures that are being agreed on engine even now will be. it really depends on the country and on the species that you mentioned offers for instance in your report the trade and offers is already illegal in the countries where the poaching and the capture is happening so if these countries want this decision in geneva to be effective they would have to do more in enforcement and that's really the bottom line with all of these things it depends how well countries and force it but consumer countries must enforce it too well how do you make that happen how do we get from where we are now to where you want to be with your organization wants to be in the future and all of us presumably who want to preserve the wildlife diversity how to you how do you get the sort of measures in place and cooperation
8:18 am
and portsmouth that will assure that those wildlife species do not continue to decline. well i mention consumer countries and it's probably easier to start there in the case of species like the author where there's an international will be in place after this conference those countries have to issue or permits for the exceptional cases where imports are allowed so that they already have a legal obligation but in many cases if there's really demand in the streets they would have to take measures with the downtown trade. to regulate our band similarly in the source countries there has to be more time on the ground we have to professionalize our ranger corps many rangers around the world are poorly paid not insured ill equipped that's something we have to fix that's something we've been working on and that there are many aspects to this and transit countries must shoulder responsibility to what's at stake here really why should we be worried
8:19 am
about the loss of wildlife the person. well because many of these species provide essential ecosystem services that keep. essential keep ecosystems going and provide us with clean air and clean water and with food and building materials and many other things that we need and from the cultural point of view where the spiritual point of view if you will you think of places like the uk a bang go to hell or the rain forests of sumatra these are world heritage sites these are places that really make you gaff and yet they're being affected by particularly not the rain forests of sumatra aren't racist because approaching them because of this poaching is driven by illegal trade so if we were i don't want to keep these really special places and these special species we all have to work together it's a responsibility that the word shares collina cried in with the world wildlife fund

a cloud of heavy smoke hung over the nearby city of port of alayo for days mothers with sick children filled the local hospital. having difficulty breathing because of the smoke my 4 year old is suffering from the 2. brazilians are increasingly worried about the amazon. this year the fires a worse it seems to be out of control. it's criminal because the farmers want to have more land. they abuse the dry period to grab more if i ask a mad brummie of. brazil's president about some narrow promise time and again to open up the amazon to industry well thirty's now want to ascertain why so many fires are currently raging. now to new york where 16 women have testified in court about the sexual abuse they say they suffered at the hands of american financier jeffrey epstein the judge allowed them to speak even though
8:22 am
epstein committed suicide in prison while awaiting trial some of the victims say they felt angry that they had been robbed of the chance to face their tormentor some viewers may find this next report disturbing. even after they're accused perpetrates just us these women cannot shake off the past. i began my massage trying not to let him smell my fear in obvious discomfort before i knew what was happening he grabbed onto my wrist and tucked me towards the bad i tried to pull away but he was unbuttoning my shorts and pulling my body onto his already naked body faster than i could think i was searching for words but all i could say was i need no please stop but that just seemed to excite him more he continued to rape me and when he was finished hopped off and went to the shower i pulled my shorts up and i ran a step if i could back to my own villa my feet bloody from the rock i cried myself to sleep that night do i feel his death is an appropriate punishment absolutely not
8:23 am
it gets nobody justice and it leaves a lot of unanswered questions. for the accusers the fight for justice will continue beyond the indictment of jeffrey epstein makes me sick to my stomach that there's preacher perpetrators out there that obviously helped him in many ways for a very long time and they're still out there with no punishment. to the victims want others who collaborated in assaulting them to be brought to justice. anybody can do anything. for the state different things come here to answer questions under oath subject to cross-examination. eventually the victim say they will get answers. since the turn of the century the number of people over the age of 100 has risen markedly the un counts more than half
