peter beard was not quite famous enough in kenya the day he stopped a political science student in nairobiasked her "have you ever been photographed?" the student said "yes, of course i have." and tried to get away from him thinking what do these people think? that i've never seen a camera? peter beard followed her and kept begging to take her picture and she agreed to allow him to photograph her for the cost of her tuition. which was about $8,000. and so peter beard took the first professional photograph of iman who almost instantly became more world famous than peter beard. peter beard's photographs skyrocket in value over the following decades and people have ended up in court fighting over rights to them more than once, most recently last week in manhattan where justice charles ramos presided over the conclusion of a two-year legal battle between peter beard and the collector of his work. the judge ruled in favor of peter beard and void it had sale of a million dollars in art work. the "new york post" reports the judge announced his intention to keep his own copies of the images that w

millions of women, men, and children turn out for marches in washington, in new york, in london, nairobi, tokyo, and my home capital of concord, new hampshire; and in dozens of other cities across the country and across the world. i think we can look at that as an early celebration of international women's day, because what we heard from those marching was that we were marching in defense of the rights of american women, of muslim women, of women of color, and of all women and girls across the globe. and the world heard our message loud and clear. we will not allow our reproductive rights and our human rights to be taken away. we will not allow women to be targeted for discrimination. we will not be taken backward. that's our message in january, and it is our message on this international women's day. we have fought long and hard for equal rights and equal treatment here in the united states, and on this day of celebration and solidarity -- and we are also celebrating women here in the united states. we have many women who have taken the day off to recognize the role that women play that

this is the nairobi nursery, you can see behind me, some of the victims of the ivory trade, the elephantse ground with this orphaned project, and anti—poaching operations, and vetinary units, that we can see the effect of the ivory trade on the ground. our work is about keeping elephants alive today. these are the ones we have been able to rescue. we will raise and reintroduce them back to the wild. actually, just last week, one of the ex—orphans gave birth to her own wildlife baby. it is a successful project, and we welcome this news wholeheartedly, that china, as biggest importers of ivory, are going to close their domestic trade. it is very windy where you are but we are going to persist, because it is interesting and important, it is heartbreaking to think that elephants are still killed purely for ivory, that is the only reason, people watching do not really understand still what is the draw, there is meant to be a ban on this, why is it still going on to the extent that it is? a lot of factors at play, antiquities, the cultural past china has had with carvings of ivory as souvenirs,

joining me now from nairobi is erik solheim, executive director of the united nations environment programmeecause the focus has been an tra nsmittable think maybe because the focus has been an transmittable diseases, measles, tuberculosis, malaria, smallpox, all of these diseases have thank god came down so much, but air pollution is rapidly coming up and is probably now the biggest killer of humans. what is causing it? emissions have been a focus because of climate change. we haven't really talked about pollution as a result but presumably a big by—product of emissions being looked at because of climate change has been a reduction and an improving of the situation for health. absolutely. the fantastic opportunity is that nearly everything you want to do to change climate change is helpful for climate change is helpful for climate pollution and vice versa. the two big revolutions have been moving from coal and oil and gas into solar and wind and we are moving from gas in cities into metros and electric vehicles. we need to really speed up the speed so that we get electrical vehicles and ren
