:17:26. > :17:32.putting. It has been soaring in recent years. Elephant ivory is now
:17:33. > :17:38.worth thousands of dollars for every single kilo and that is being
:17:39. > :17:41.fuelled by this demand in newer economies within Asia. This study

:17:45. > :17:47.scientists have found that since 2010, elephants in Africa, there
:17:48. > :17:51.have been about 35,000 of them killed every single year so that
:17:52. > :17:54.means manually 7% of Africa's entire elephant population is being wiped
:17:55. > :17:58.out. These are enormous numbers and it also means that basically for the
:17:59. > :18:02.first time the situation has reached a tipping point where more animals
:18:03. > :18:06.are being killed than being born so the population is in overall net
:18:07. > :18:08.decline. It doesn't feel like a new problem because we have known
:18:09. > :18:11.poaching has been around for years, people wanting to get ivory. What is
:18:12. > :18:14.being done to conserve that species? The issue with poaching is that it
:18:15. > :18:19.is a multilayered problem. There is a lot of talk about how to stop it
:18:20. > :18:22.but you have got to address it on several layers. There is protecting
:18:23. > :18:24.the elephants on the ground, that requires money, people, Rangers.
:18:25. > :18:27.There are tougher penalties for the people doing the poaching. This is
:18:28. > :18:29.done by big organised crime syndicates, so tougher penalties,
:18:30. > :18:31.and tougher laws. Then there is addressing the demand for the
:18:32. > :18:34.problem. How can you stop people from wanting ivory products? You can
:18:35. > :18:41.say it is harming the animals but that doesn't seem to be making any

:21:25. > :21:29.this latest attempt to find the biggest bell the world has ever
:21:30. > :21:39.seen. Cast in the 15th century and weighing nearly 300 tonnes, the
:21:40. > :21:42.Dhammazedi Bell once stood here alongside this Buddhist pagoda. Six
:21:43. > :21:51.times larger than this one, legend has it that the bell was seized in
:21:52. > :21:56.1608 and put on a raft which promptly sank, sending it hurtling
:21:57. > :22:04.into the river floor. The fate of the Dhammazedi Bell is one of the
:22:05. > :22:09.great Hermes mysteries. There have been countless efforts in the past
:22:10. > :22:15.to find it. So far no one has even managed to prove that it is down
:22:16. > :22:21.there. Many believe the surge is cursed. At the launch of the latest
:22:22. > :22:25.attempt, the team leader said supernatural forces were stopping
:22:26. > :22:30.the bell from being discovered. If we just rely on modern technology,
:22:31. > :22:36.we will face more problems. We must take this bell from the Dragons that
:22:37. > :22:41.have got it. We need to use our traditional ways so that the dragon
:22:42. > :22:48.spirit does not keep hold of the bell. We watched as work got under
:22:49. > :22:53.way. A team of divers equipped only with masks lowered themselves into

:23:05. > :23:11.me give you a sense of how difficult it is for these divers searching
:23:12. > :23:22.with the naked eye in this river. You can hardly see anything. For
:23:23. > :23:27.many Hermes, like this historian, this latest surge is an
:23:28. > :23:33.embarrassment and a waste of the public's goodwill and money. Having
:23:34. > :23:38.watched numerous teams, both high and low tech fail, he is starting to
:23:39. > :23:47.think the unthinkable. Maybe there is no Dhammazedi Bell. I really hope
:23:48. > :23:51.the bell is real, it would make me so proud of my country, but if we
:23:52. > :23:57.look at the three main Burnley 's history books, none of them mentions
:23:58. > :24:03.it. This team say they will keep diving for another two weeks. They
:24:04. > :24:11.have no doubt that somewhere in the Holy Grail.
:24:12. > :24:13.All this week we're looking at the growing popularity
:24:14. > :24:20.Now it's time to stop off in Beijing and Cairo to see what it's like to
:24:21. > :24:50.My bike makes me feel free, it is an extension to my arms and legs. I
:24:51. > :24:57.cycle across Cairo every day to work. Actually it takes me with the
:24:58. > :25:04.car about three hours or two and a half hours, but with my bicycle it
:25:05. > :25:14.is only one hour. TRANSLATION: I started to ride fixed gear bikes
:25:15. > :25:28.since 2010. In my childhood every household was proud to have a bike.
:25:29. > :25:33.As a woman, cycling in Cairo, I have faced so much criticism. Sometimes
:25:34. > :25:46.people make bad comments to me. Look at this woman, why is she cycling?
:25:47. > :25:50.Things like that. She is crazy. China has gone through some
:25:51. > :25:55.ground-breaking changes, there are more cars on the road and the air
:25:56. > :26:04.pollution is bad. These streets are not planned for cycling. There are
:26:05. > :26:14.no lanes specialised for cycling so it is so dangerous. More people see
:26:15. > :26:18.the glamour of cycling now. Bikes are more attractive to young people
:26:19. > :26:25.because we take better care of our health and the environment. However,
:26:26. > :26:29.there is a lack of safety awareness. People tend to think it is a cool
:26:30. > :26:38.thing and take it to the streets without practice. It would be so
:26:39. > :26:45.good to use bikes in Cairo streets. It would be the solution to so many
:26:46. > :26:51.problems. So I wish to wake up one day to see people all over Cairo
:26:52. > :26:57.using bikes for their transportation and no cars. Don't forget, you can
