Hi, I'm Naz with your top stories this Friday morning.	:00:07.	:00:08.
Behind the scenes on TV's biggest dance competition.	:00:09.	:00:12.
And what you need to know from the UK's biggest gaming event.	:00:13.	:00:15.
First up, the Duke of Cambridge says more must be done	:00:16.	:00:30.
to save elephants from being killed for their tusks.	:00:31.	:00:35.
The animals are being hunted for the ivory in their tusks,	:00:36.	:00:38.
which is then illegally sold around the world to be used	:00:39.	:00:41.
in things like jewellery, ornaments and medicine.	:00:42.	:00:42.
Prince William's been speaking ahead of a big meeting in South Africa	:00:43.	:00:45.
When I was born, there were 1 million elephants roaming Africa.	:00:46.	:00:52.
By the time my daughter Charlotte was born last year,	:00:53.	:00:56.
the numbers of savanna elephants had crashed to just 350,000.	:00:57.	:01:02.
At the current pace of illegal poaching, when Charlotte turns 25,	:01:03.	:01:04.
the African elephants will be gone from the wild.	:01:05.	:01:10.
Why is Prince William talking about this, Jenny?	:01:11.	:01:14.
Well, this summer, there's been a lot of bad news about elephants.	:01:15.	:01:18.
In August, a massive count of African elephants was completed.	:01:19.	:01:24.
They used planes to fly over 18 countries and count the number	:01:25.	:01:27.
What they found was that the number of elephants was much,	:01:28.	:01:36.
much lower than people realised - in fact, almost one in three	:01:37.	:01:39.
elephants has disappeared over the last seven years.	:01:40.	:01:41.
It's because elephants are being killed for their tusks.	:01:42.	:01:43.
They're made of ivory, which is then sold around the world	:01:44.	:01:45.
by criminals called poachers, even though it's against the law.	:01:46.	:01:48.
Some people even think that if things carry on like this,	:01:49.	:01:51.
we could end up with no African elephants left in the wild at all.	:01:52.	:01:54.
Well, tomorrow, around 180 countries will start a big meeting	:01:55.	:02:00.
in South Africa, to talk about at what's happening with elephants	:02:01.	:02:03.
They Betis cursing other endangered animals like right now as well. --	:02:04.	:02:17.
they will be discussing what to do about other.	:02:18.	:02:18.
They'll be deciding how to stop the illegal selling of ivory	:02:19.	:02:21.
I'll be going to South Africa to investigate the problem for	:02:22.	:02:25.
We'll find out more about how elephants are protected in nature	:02:26.	:02:29.
reserves, we'll see what action is being taken to catch poachers	:02:30.	:02:31.
and to stop them killing elephants for their ivory.	:02:32.	:02:33.
