You're watching Newsround live, with me, Leah.

First, the strongest hurricane to hit the Caribbean in nearly

:00:15.:00:17.

ten years has battered the country of Haiti.

:00:18.:00:19.

Hurricane Matthew brought winds of 145 miles per hour and heavy

:00:20.:00:22.

rain, leading to floods and worries of mudslides.

:00:23.:00:26.

Roads have been blocked and homes have been destroyed,

:00:27.:00:28.

with thousands of people living in shelters.

:00:29.:00:30.

Haiti is one of the world's poorest countries, and is still recovering

:00:31.:00:36.

from a huge earthquake six years ago.

:00:37.:00:38.

Hurricane Matthew could drop as much as three feet of rain and we are

:00:39.:00:51.

seeing evidence of Flash flooding already. The conditions here are

:00:52.:00:57.

absolutely atrocious. To step outside is to become drenched in

:00:58.:00:58.

seconds. It's the last day of the biggest

:00:59.:00:59.

ever meeting of the world's countries, in South Africa,

:01:00.:01:02.

to talk about how to better protect Thousands of them are being

:01:03.:01:05.

illegally killed every year Jenny has been to meet some people

:01:06.:01:08.

who protect these Elephants, eating, playing, is safe.

:01:09.:01:26.

This is the environment experts say they need, space to move away from

:01:27.:01:33.

humans who can be dangerous to them in many ways. These beautiful

:01:34.:01:37.

elephants were not so easy to find. I have come to the north-east of

:01:38.:01:42.

South Africa, far away from the big cities and home to the famous Kruger

:01:43.:01:47.

National Park. We are setting off this morning for a game of hide and

:01:48.:01:51.

seek with a safari guide and a car and we have to be very patient,

:01:52.:01:56.

which I am finding quite difficult. It is a massive area where South

:01:57.:01:59.

Africa's wild animals can live as they have always. But strangely no

:02:00.:02:10.

sign of the one creature we had come looking for. We are back at the camp

:02:11.:02:14.

now and we have been out all day long and we have seen loads of

:02:15.:02:20.

animals, giraffes, lions, Buffalo, warthog, even crocodiles, but no

:02:21.:02:27.

elephants. But the next morning... We found them, finally, hurray! I

:02:28.:02:32.

can't believe it! Getting so close to incredible elephants like this is

:02:33.:02:38.

one of the most important ways South Africa believes it can protect them.

:02:39.:02:42.

It gives people a thrill and helps them really understand how nature

:02:43.:02:50.

needs elephants. For me, personally, elephants play a big role in the

:02:51.:02:54.

ecosystem, especially clearing thick bush and as they walk with their big

:02:55.:02:58.

bodies they clear pathways and make the Bush more open. It is a really

:02:59.:03:03.

good example where you can see elephants the barking tree and you

:03:04.:03:06.

can see a beautiful task market and how they use the tasks to take off

:03:07.:03:10.

the bar. This will fall down eventually and create a whole new

:03:11.:03:13.

ecosystem for a lot of other animals. One of the ways people hope

:03:14.:03:18.

to stop the illegal hunting and killing of elephants is to catch the

:03:19.:03:24.

people doing it, poachers. These are super sniffing dogs. They definitely

:03:25.:03:29.

are not pets. They are trained to snaffle out trouble and catch

:03:30.:03:33.

poachers. Once they are experts these dogs will be set out on patrol

:03:34.:03:39.

to protect animals in the wild or find stolen ivory. The poaching

:03:40.:03:43.

problem in Africa as a whole is huge. It is all over Africa and

:03:44.:03:47.

elephant populations are suffering big time but the use of these

:03:48.:03:52.

working canines, working dogs, the poachers know we can track them and

:03:53.:03:55.

we will indicate the presence of them at night. They can't hide away

:03:56.:04:00.

from us. Without anti-poaching efforts in Africa we will lose all

:04:01.:04:07.

of our wildlife, never mind just the elephant which is getting hammered

:04:08.:04:10.

now, but we will lose everything. Anti-poachers and Rangers together

:04:11.:04:15.

hope to stop the crisis and keep these awesome creatures around for

:04:16.:04:16.

generations to come. And finally, in sport,

:04:17.:04:19.

England captain Wayne Rooney has been speaking to the media

:04:20.:04:21.

at a press conference ahead of the World Cup qualifiers

:04:22.:04:24.

against Malta and Slovenia. Rooney will remain captain

:04:25.:04:26.

after Sam Allardyce's dismissal last week,

:04:27.:04:29.

while temporary manager And Rooney is a big fan

:04:30.:04:30.

of his new boss. Again I think he has done a very

:04:31.:04:43.

good job with the under 21 is and he has an opportunity now to show what

:04:44.:04:47.

he can do at the senior level and we have to buy into his ways and try

:04:48.:04:51.

and take his ideas on board.

:04:52.:04:53.
