If they spot anything of interest their patrol boats are ready to go. No wreckage is found on this trip but three more are planned each day. We are looking at objects three to five meters in length. Bigger than that which could be floating in the water or even close to the beach. This video model shows the drift from powerful ocean currents. The. S the dots represent items. There is no largescale search on reunion island itself. This life boat is what they rely on. France houses more air and sea support. They are additionally vigilant and i looking for any piece of debris. With waves up to 10 meters high, further pieces of wreckage may be hard to locate. For the families who lost loved ones and to take them back to the site of last weeks dramatic find. To be able to see the plane where the last remnants of the plane which was your family came ashore. The full story may never emerge, but the hunt goes on. Bbc news, off the coast of reunion island. Laura it is so hard for the families. The Islamic State group says it was behind the Suicide Attack on an elite Security Unit in saudi arabia that killed at least 15. The attack took place in a mosque in the city of abha.

It is time for the republican president ial contenders to go headtohead, at least some of them. Out of the 17 candidates, the top 10 will square off in a primetime debate. All eyes will be on donald trump. A whopping 17 candidates have entered the race. 10 will be slugging it out in a televised debate in cleveland ohio. This is the man with a doubledigit lead in the polls, donald trump. The billionaire businessman does not shy away from controversy. He launched his campaign by saying mexico was bringing rapists to the u. S. This is not reality tv. How will he perform alongside his rivals . I like that he is honest. As far as being a candidate, im a little mixed. I dont really have an opinion on him. The only thing that i know from him is on the apprentice and he is a popculture icon. He will be interesting to watch. With politics in his blood, there is a lot of expectation around jeb bush. He has been criticized for stumbling in appearances. I know nothing about him except he is a push. He was the governor in florida. He put in reforms. But just like hillary and biden he is a name from the past and i think the country need someone new. With a crowded stage, can anyone else steal trumps limelight. The debate promises to be compelling feeling and provide compelling viewing and provide voters with the first chance to see which is the candidate that sounds and looks the most president ial. The rays for the white house does not officially kick off until primary season next year, but the candidates are already making an impression. Laura for more on what we can expect i spoke to our correspondent in cleveland. How are the candidates that are not donald trump hoping to burst the trump bubble . If you look when you have candidates like jeb bush, scott walker, preparing and walking up to the stage, then comes donald trump who effectively is cruising into slots. It is anyones guess how they will respond. And donald trump, when he Takes Center Stage to see some of those discussions. In a recent interview he said if they hit me i will hit them harder. The candidates who pulled out of the 10, like chris christie, john kasich, and rand paul may feel like they have less to lose so they may go bigger on the attack. With the trump factor in the debate, everyone will be watching, because no one knows exactly what will happen. Laura what is at stake for job push, the establishment republican candidate if four jeb bush their establishment republican candidate, if he fails to sparkle . He has been criticized for making careless comments. At a policy reform he said he was not sure if way needed to spend a billion dollars for Womens Health issues when he was asked about planned parenthood. He says that he misspoke in that context, but people say that might mean he is not ready for todays media machine. What is also interesting, is that report, some of the women we talked to, did not know much more about him other than he had the name bush. Some of these legacy candidates need to define what they stand for the aunt of the names that they are associated with. Laura in cleveland, thank you. You are watching bbc world news america. Still to come, we speak to the researcher who discovered that cecil the lion had been killed. What he says about the hunting in might surprise you.

It almost ended when the fishing boat shoe is on capsized with hundreds of people on board. Her father gave their only lifejacket to his wife. As people were rescued, other Young Children were pulled out unconscious, but were resuscitated. More than 350 people were saved. Seven ships went to help the boat that overturned off the coast of libya. 25 bodies were recovered. Those on board the fishing boat say hundreds more may never be found. The boat sank in under two minutes. It is not safe or legal for the people to access asylum or Refugee Status in europe. They are forced into the hands of unscrupulous smugglers and gambling their lives in trying to reach europe. These people made it to italy. The mediterraneans death toll stands around 2000. The International Organization for migration says the numbers are already higher than the same period last year. These latest deaths are unlikely to deter others from trying. Laura a researcher in zimbabwe who followed sessile the lien for years and discovered that he had been killed at a mets that a that followed cecil the lion for years, and discovered that he had been killed, admits that a bhunting ban may not help. The impala were on the move early. Life in the wild is beautiful but short. Every animal knows that editors are out here. Those on the top of the food chain can choose to watch or hunt. We came here looking for lions. The pride that cecil left behind. In this wilderness there is much to see and most come armed only with cameras. These animals are threatened by poachers. Those impoverished and wanting a meal and willing to kill for ivory that is more valuable than gold. The hunters are being hunted for trophies. Bake c big cats bring a break premium. This is the route that cecil theok when he left the park and went into a private game reserve where hunting is allowed and he would be killed. I have a very faint signal. Brent is now following jericho who led the pride with cecil. I do not want to see lion hunting ever again. Just because of the way that lions react. I think that hunting can be a conservation tool. We have to be careful with that. Cecil is now famous around the world for killing for killing for a price. I know that is a terrible thing to some people, but we have to be practical and realistic. If we lose a few animals which pays for the conservation, or a whole lot are the options we are faced with in many areas. In the darkness we caught a a glimpse of 2 females with their cubs. They seem to be safe while the world is still watching. Laura the debate over hunting and conservation. This is the last time that jon stewart will sit behind his fake news desk at the daily show. For many of his fans is is a sad day. His satires had a huge impact on american politics and comedy. Stewart is quite an act to follow. This is the daily show with jon stewart. A fake news desk, real news and razors edge humor. Jon stewart was an Unstoppable Force and one of the most influential voices on television. At the height of the celebrity he admitted it was time for him to move on. This host does not deserve and even slightly restless host, and neither do you. When stewart took over in 1999 he was a standup comedian who had hosted several failed programs. He found his calling on the daily show. Arguably it was the 2000 election that put stewart on the map. You were not elected. It seems there was no topic he was afraid to tackle. From his takedown of cnbc for the Financial Coverage he walked away rich as hell, and you knew that was going on. To his take on police brutality. We are not living in a postracism society. People are going to be wondering how much of a society we are living in at all. He made it more serious substantive analysis that could serve as a form of journalism. Jon stewart became so loved that he topped the poll as the most trusted newscaster in america. His satire was the most Reasonable Voice on television to his fans. In the process he became more than a latenight talk show host, he became the voice of liberal america. He is such a great character and persona it will be sad not to watch that. It will be like Johnny Carson leaving for my parents generation. This is like our carson. Because he could reach millennials it was the show to beyond. President barack obama was on seven times. I am issuing an executive order that jon stewart cannot leave the daily show. While it may be successful with its new host trevor noah, it will never be the same. Laura just think about how much jon stewart will be enjoying the republican debate. To reach me and most of the bbc team go to twitter. I am at laura trevelyan. Thank you for watching, and please, tune in tomorrow.
