One of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in recent years | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
is expected to batter parts of the Caribbean later. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Haiti is likely to get the worst of it, but Jamaica could also get | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
lots of flooding and winds of up to 150 miles per hour. | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
BBC Reporter Nick Davis is in Kingston in Jamaica. | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
We are feeling the effects of the outer edges of that storm. | :00:33. | :00:35. | |
It's 200-odd miles away from here, but even so we've seen | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
some localised flooding, we've seen people having to be moved | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
But it's been parked, as I said, 200 miles out. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
It's slowly moving away from here, wait from the north-west, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
Bad news for Haiti and especially for eastern Cuba as well. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Thousands of elephants are being illegally killed | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
every year in Africa for their ivory tusks. | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Now the biggest ever meeting of the world's countries | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
to talk about wildlife and how to protect it | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
is calling for a ban on the buying and selling of ALL ivory. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Campaigners are calling it a big step forward | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
but countries can't be forced to follow it. | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Jenny sent us this from South Africa, | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Elephants are some of the most famous and most loved animals on the | :01:16. | :01:30. | |
planet. Just a few decades ago, there were millions of them, but now | :01:31. | :01:39. | |
they are now wrote to extinction. A huge sensors which recorded the | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
number of elephants and where they live was completed this year. They | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
used a plane to fly across 18 African countries, from West Africa | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
right down to South Africa, where I am now. The results? They were | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
shocking. They found that, in seven years, one in three of Africa's | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
elephants has disappeared. Elephants without Borders, a group involved in | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
the census, say that around 30,000 elephants are being killed each | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
year. Since 2007, Africa has lost roughly 144,000 elephants because of | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
poaching. That is when they are illegally hunted and killed for | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
their ivory tusks, which can be sold for huge amount of money around the | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
world, as part of the ivory trade. They are now being killed faster | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
than you elephants are being born. Unless something is done to stop | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
poaching, it is being that elephants could die within our lifetime. This | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
is where it gets confusing. Countries selling ivory to each | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
other is allowed, but selling antique Ivory is still allowed in | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
some countries. It all started in the 1800 's. A fashion for ivory | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
objects like homes and piano keys and elephant tusks became really | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
popular. For the next 100 years, thousands of elephants were killed | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
every single month. In 1989, the buying and selling of Ivory to | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
different countries was banned, which helped the numbers of | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
elephants in the world to go up again. But, in 1999 and 2008, two | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
Ivory sales were allowed to happen which kick-started more poaching, | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
people think. Since then, the illegal ivory trade has not stopped. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Poachers are still killing elephants for their tasks, and the ivory is | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
still being sent around the world by networks of criminals, mostly to | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
places like China and Vietnam, where they can be carved into things like | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
ornaments or jewellery. They are different opinions about whether or | :03:44. | :03:45. | |
not the ivory trade should be allowed. Some countries say they | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
should be allowed to buy and sell ivory to raise money to look after | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
elephants. But many other countries say the only way to stamp out | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
poaching is to ban the trade on ivory completely. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
The United states have won the Ryder cup for the first time since 2008, | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
At one point a comeback had looked to be on the cards with Europe | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
leading in 7 of the 12 matches but the Americans fought back | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
strongly and Ryan Moore sealed the victory. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
I couldn't have asked for one ounce more. | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
Davis will have asked for the same from his team. | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
That is the passion of the Ryder Cup, and that is what it brings out. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Unfortunately, we are going back home without a trophy. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
But we will be fighting hard for it again in Paris in two years' time. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
And Melvin was the first celeb to be voted off Strictly last night, | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
That's because singer Anastasia had an injury and couldn't dance again. | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
Luckily, she was saved by the public. | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
Right, I'm back in half an hour, when we're live from South Africa. | :04:51. | :04:56. |
