:00:12. > :00:26.First up, we're talking tennis. Britain's Johanna Konta will be
:00:27. > :00:28.hoping to continue her winning streak when she faces
:00:29. > :00:31.Caroline Wozniacki later in the women's final at the Miami
:00:32. > :00:37.She beat Venus Williams to become the first British woman to ever
:00:38. > :00:39.reach the finals of the competition, and has worked hard
:00:40. > :00:54.Most important will probably be to enjoy the occasion a little bit
:00:55. > :00:59.more. It's a great tournament to be a part of an told the very end. And
:01:00. > :01:04.it's something we will work very hard for, to get opportunities like
:01:05. > :01:07.these. I get to play against an incredibly tough opponent, somebody
:01:08. > :01:11.who has been at the top of the game for so long now. Just overall having
:01:12. > :01:17.good enjoyment for the challenges and what for,. -- what will come.
:01:18. > :01:19.There's little under half an hour until the only lunchtime kick-off
:01:20. > :01:21.in the Premier League, where Liverpool host
:01:22. > :01:24.Liverpool will be without Jordan Henderson and Adam Lallana
:01:25. > :01:28.But it won't be an easy one for the Reds -
:01:29. > :01:30.Everton have lost just once in their past 12 league matches.
:01:31. > :01:33.Now to Australia, where officials say there could be more flooding
:01:34. > :01:36.in two states after a powerful cyclone hit the northeastern coast
:01:37. > :01:40.Rising rivers are causing authorities to order more people
:01:41. > :01:42.who live in areas like Queensland and New South Wales
:01:43. > :01:50.More than 100,000 homes were left without power.
:01:51. > :01:54.Over the last seven years, the number of the animals
:01:55. > :01:57.in the wild has dropped by a third because of poaching.
:01:58. > :02:01.And it's all because their tusks are made of ivory.
:02:02. > :02:07.Thousands of shops across China sell ornaments like this,
:02:08. > :02:10.which are made out of ivory. It's big business here, and
:02:11. > :02:14.the items are worth a lot of money. Ivory comes from the tusks
:02:15. > :02:17.of elephants, and in Africa, many of the animals are illegally
:02:18. > :02:25.Pressure has been put on China for years to end its part
:02:26. > :02:30.And today, almost half the factories and shops that sell ivory in China

:02:39. > :02:43.China is the country with the world's largest ivory market.
:02:44. > :02:46.That's where we see the greatest demand.
:02:47. > :02:49.So this change is going make a real difference for African elephants,
:02:50. > :02:52.because if we can reduce that demand, all law abiding citizens
:02:53. > :02:59.This move won't totally end the problem, as lots of ivory
:03:00. > :03:02.is bought and sold illegally, which is much harder to stop.
:03:03. > :03:05.But conservationists are glad that China is closing its ivory shops,
:03:06. > :03:09.and hopes it will mean less is bought and sold in the country,
:03:10. > :03:15.saving the lives of thousands of elephants.
:03:16. > :03:17.If you want any more information on the ivory
:03:18. > :03:18.trade or animal poaching, then head online and

:04:56. > :05:00.with top producers and release an album a few weeks later.
:05:01. > :05:03.Next to Hong Kong, in Asia, where the 7th International Pillow
