florida's everglades needs all of the help it can get. it's the u.s.'s third largest national park and often described as most threatened. it's been drained polluted and developed but clyde hopes his work will prize ever it. when people look at my photographs, they say, hum. >> that's commonplace? qua see what's so special. it's still here. >> that's what i would like to hear. >> andy gallacher, al jazeera, florida. >> in france, there have been more events to mark one of the most pistol months in world war ii, the normandy invasion. hundreds of parachuters trace the flight that landed there were in 1944. the town was taken by allied forces early on d day, the first to be captured during the i hopevation. >> you -- i am lisa fletcher t the world cup approaches. the popularity of soccer is as high as ever, putting incredibility expectations on team u.s.a. i sat down one on one with head coach of the u.s. men's national soccer team to talk about the pressure and controversy. you will hear from two u.s. players chosen to go to brazil. later, security force
