written in her own secret made up language, writing in a special code

about places she went to an things she saw. Beatrix Potter love life in

the country. She was so passionate about nature and conservation she

cynicism and reject fear and summon what is best in us to elect

Hillary Clinton as the next President of the United States and

Now here's a question for you - how do you help 500

That's the problem facing a conservation group trying to do

just that in Malawi in south-east Africa.

Up to seven metres long and six tonnes in weight. The African

elephant is the largest land mammal in the world. The population is

under threat from poaching, when they are killed for their tusks.

Another problem is they are less areas suitable for them to live in.

500 elephants in Malawi are being rehoused to give them more space in

a preserve to live and eat. Sending elephants to a new park is such an

important thing. We need to be sure the new habitats they moved to is

the right place for elephants and there is plenty of food and lots of

water and a very good fence around the sanctuary. But moving them is a

hefty operation. These elephants are fine. They have been tranquillised,

so they can sleep and be moved safely. They are carefully driven to

the new location on large trucks and monitored to check they are settling

in OK. The great thing about elephants is they are very adaptable

and very clever animals. They normally very quickly settle into

their new home. The information we have on the elephants already moved

is they are all well settled and no problems have been encountered at

all. 100 years ago an estimated 3.5 million elephants roamed Africa. Now

there are about 407 the thousands. It is hoped spreading the population

and giving them more space to roam will mean these mammals will be

around for many years to come. Team GB is arriving in Brazil

ahead of the Olympics. There's only eight days to go

is World gymnast champion He has been talking about his

chances. It calms me knowing I had that title behind me. Some people

see it as more pressure but I see it as a result in the bag now. I need

to move forward and produce the best scores I can and I am doing my best

to do that. Good luck. We are back right here in just about half are

now. See you then. Goodbye.
