the government has energetically prosecuted bribery and kickbacks with corruption index of $44.00 botswana does better now in some european countries such as hungary and rumania now a conspicuous feature of the map is that the countries perceived to be the least corrupt are o.e.c.d. members they have apart from a high living standard a functioning administration hard hitting justice system and political stability but it does not mean they are corruption free to discuss this a little further let's speak to hartman from transparency international. business so. is it as simple as the lower the income the higher the corruption. it seems to be a sad but we can see that in the corruption perception index that the less developed countries have higher corruption and the obvious that's true but nevertheless as you mentioned in europe we have countries as angry old and with higher corruption than others and in our countries it's because about germany or. france we have corruption too and my problem is it takes a different form or it takes a different form necessary talking about government corruptio

all the way to consume a national park and then across to botswana so it's a very big area surroundedby a protected area yeah that's what makes it so important for elephants is because it's right in the middle of a network of different protected areas and it was not safe before from hunting and poaching so it was difficult for elephants to connect does areas now that it's safe and secure creates a much bigger area so in terms of the small puzzle of areas this is the middle piece and the last piece which we've now secured that's very good for elephants but for all other animals. it's meant to be. hello go 2nd go. you know so i can go right good go right good go. go. go. and this is better not problem now i. that's got. the they're growing bigger these in. and they've said to ringback settled in extremely nicely so they have adapted to the new food in your environment they're starting to interact and communicate with the other wild elephants we are now allowing them to go further and further away from the bombers but it is a slow process and we are taking it very slowly and carefully be

also on prince harry's agenda as he travelled across southern africa — here, planting a tree in botswanaer's visit to the same area in 1997. she so famously picked her way through a minefield. 22 years later, her son walked along the same path in huambo — now a busy street with shops, houses and a school. diana's legacy is deeply felt here. to walk in her footsteps is clearly quite emotionalfor me. but i think as much as she did then, there is still so much to do. but, without question, if she hadn't campaigned the way that she did 22 years ago, this could arguably still be a minefield. so i'm incredibly proud of what what she's been able to do, and meet these kids who were born on this street, who didn't even know that this was a minefield. the royal couple managed to shine a spotlight on places and issues of importance to them throughout their tour. but, as it came to an end, there was a new headline. they announced that meghan was taking legal action against the owners of the mail on sunday newspaper, and harry subsequently launched his own legal action against the publishers of the s
