Allen. Im george howell. Newsroom starts right now. We start with the breaking news this is hour in the state of oklahoma, a community devastate the there after a possible tornado that hit overnight. Emergency Officials Say at least two people wrep killed there and multiple premium injured. This after a severe storm ripped through a Mobile Home Park in the town of el rin know. Near Oklahoma City. As you can see in this video, the storm was violent and destructive. Rescue crews are searching for injured people in the debris. You see there. A nearby hotel also was heavily damaged, but the owner says all guests are accounted for. One survivor from the Mobile Home Park described account terror as the storm approached. I heard it coming. I felt the trailer 80 hit our trailer. I know trailer 80 flipped over on top of 81 which we were in. And after everything was over with and all the shaking and jarring and everybody landing on the floor, the sirens went off. Sirens went off a little too late. After that all happened. So you all were in one trailer. Did you hear it copping . What did you see and hear . I felt it. I dont know. It just got real dark real fast and everything starred shaking violently. I told them to hit the floor. A trailer park, not a place you want to be when there is a violent storm. Derek van dam brings us the latest on what just happened in el reno. Derek, lets go to to you first. One of the most dangerous places you can be because of the construction quality of a mobile hemo, natalie and george. This is in the middle of the night. This is new footage coming into us from our affiliate and you can just see the complete devastation of this mobile home and i believe this is the area where theyre still going door to door searching for any potential victims. You can see vehicles completely overturned, as well. This is just incredible footage. Im actually seeing it for the first time myself, as well. I want to get to the details of this storm. And analyze a couple of things so were all on the same page because this is breaking overnight, and i use the word overnight because this is a nocturnal tornado, a nighttime tornado, yet another one, a devastating tornado 30 miles just west of a very populated part of the United States, Oklahoma City, there is in el reno. We took a still grab of the american Budget Inn Hotel just south of interstate 40. It was leveled. It was a twostoriable. We went to google earth and did a search. This is what the building looked like before the damage. You can see the two11 building. This is what it looks like after the damage, completely flattened and for anyone inside, you can just imagine the terror they went through overnight as this is tornado struck the region and than particular town. All the social media explanations of the damage on the ground from people on the scene, they talk about vehicles being flipped, roofs being blown off of houses. You saw the leveling of a twostory hotel. Well, this is ves consistent to an ef3 tornado and that is consistent of winds of 136 Miles Per Hour to upwards of 1865 Miles Per Hour. So roofs of some walls torn off well instructed homes completely flattened, trees uprooted. I saw images, we dont have these just yet, but complete 2x4s sent directly through a concrete building still sticking out the other end. This is a very powerful storm that struck in the middle of the night and it was very short notice. In fact, some of the tweets were seeing, some of the people on the scene and on ground therein said that they had debris flying around them. And it was only after it became still after the storm passed that the sirens started to air. So remember as we go to bed at nighttime, a lot of us unplug our cellphones. That is the main fox communication when you are indoors, but the tornado sirens in this part of the world are meant for people home are outdoors. So you can just imagine what terror and sheer destruction these people have had to endure on the overnight here in oklahoma. Nocturnal tornadoes in oklahoma, about 37 of all of their tornadoes happen at nighttime. That is one of the most frequent things to happen in that part of the country. The threat Going Forward now that the Severe Weather threat has diminished overnight, it is the flash flood of theyre the theyre paying attention to because this system produced a lot of rainfall in an area thats all sat rayed. Not only did we have the tornado threat, now we have to deal with flash flooding. Thank you very much for that information. We want to the go to the el reno. We have him on the line. Matt white on the phone for us. Matt, thank you so much for giving us the time. We know this is a very tragic evening there or morning in el reno. Weve been told there were two fatalities and many injuries. What can you tell us . Yes, we basically had a tornado strike our community. It would be the Southeast Side of our community. It hit a hotel, motel area and also a trailer park area along the lines of some businesses also. So were trying to pick all the pieces up and assess the daniel at this point in time. Our First Responders are on the grounds. As we speak, were been working tirelessly to get everything going. There was an 88 spot trailer home park, Mobile Home Park basicallying about probably 15 spots or maybe a couple more were the ones that got hit the hardest. I think thats what were seeing now. Were seeing aerial footage of what looks like a Mobile Home Park. These people, are they talking about whether they had warning or were they asleep . A Mobile Home Park is never a place you want to be we also know that this hotel that was hit it, all the people there will survived but theres not much left of this hotel either. Sure. Weve been asked that question. Its a nighttime tornado. Nighttime tornados are very dangerous. Theyre very traumatic, they kind of creep up on you. The main thing issing that we the tornado hit at the hotel at 10 31 and the sirens were issued at 10 27 it, the information we have on our call logs now. What are emergency crews can reporting back to you as far as if everyones being accounted for and are there any reports of hospitals of people going thering . We have twos fatalities that were there. Ive been on the ground here since it happened. The chief of police, the fire chief and myself, some of the first ones on the scene. Were going to be working through the night and were kind of waiting for what the daybreak brings on there have been several transferred to different locations. St. Anthonys hospital, el reen knows hospital here and also different locations in Oklahoma City and surrounding communities. So lots of injuries at this point in time. First responders are absolutely still doing a rescue mission at this point. How widespread would you say is the destruction . Its really concentrated to that one area. Its not as wide. You know, weve been on wreckers several years ago, not too long ago of having the Worlds Largest tornado snoonld right, an ef3 i believe. And the bottom line is that we isolateded that one area of the hotel room, the Mobile Home Park and then some car lots there right there in that one area. We certainly hope that the worst is over here with this storm, but this has been just an unbelievable month of may, the month of may is always very touch and go for this part of the country though. And how prepared would you say because of all of the storms weve been seeing do you think the people there will were before whatevers just happened came through el reno . Well, once again, i think nighttime tornadoes people arent used to them. Oklahoma in general we all try to stay aware. Our First Responders in reno are absolutely qualified and capable of handling whats going on here. Were very prepared, you know, weve been through a lot like you said the last month. Had several floods here in the last month. Weve had so much rainfall. We they feel disaster, several areas flooding beginning of last week. So you know, our First Responders as long as with the sheriffs department, public, would, police department, fire department, all the county offices, all of our units are all hands on deck and we feel confident that were going to get through this like we always husband before. El renos very resilient. Oklahoma is very resilient. And were going to have a lot of needs. We dont know what the needs at this point in time. Were basically asking everybody to kind of stay away from the area right there in that one area on 81 and i40 which is a main thoroughfare. Were basically trying to let us assess everything at that point in time and let the First Responders do their job our rescue mission. We appreciate your time. This is a harrowing time in el reno. Its just after 3 00 in the morning. So several hours before daylight hits. And we hope everyone is canned for. Thanks so much, mayor matt white. We appreciate you talking with us. Thank you. You know, natalie and the mayor pointed this out in your interview there, but el reno was hit youll remember back during the tornado outbreak income 2013. Same month. Same month. Yeah, it was may 31st keeping in mind about a week earlier, the moore, oklahoma tornado that destroyed that Elementary School all in the month of may, 20k 13. Now these communities are again seeing so much devastation. Absolutely. Well continue to follow the story. As we get more information, well pass it along to our viewers. Also, following the u. S. President donald trump on a state visit to japan. He says the United States and japan are getting closer to a bilateral trade deal. Right now the president and Prime Minister shinzo abe are attending a sumo wrestling championship. Mr. Trump claimed progress on trade after a round you have golf sunday morning with the Prime Minister but the president cautioned northerly final agreement would come until after japanese upper house elections in july. Earlier mr. Trump created some diplomatic turbulence with this tweet you see here, north korea fired off some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others but not me, he said. That statement directly at oddsed with japans view of north koreas actions, bus the remarks upset japans Prime Minister he didnt show the it. Abe was all smiles as he and olympian trump played golf. The foreign minister said the two leaders is deepened their friendship amid a cozy atmosphere on the golf course. Ivan watson following the story live for news tokyo this day. The summit seems to be off to i guess an awkward start with the president seeming to place his trust with the dictator of north korea which is japans most direct threat. Reporter yeah, i mean this is one of the big issues for japan is north Koreas Nuclear weapons, its ballistic missiles, and President Trump in his tweet directly contradicted not only japan but also his own National Security adviser john bolton who told journalists here in tokyo on saturday that the shortrange missiles that north korea fired earlier this month were definitely a contradiction of u. P. U. N. Security council resolutions. In his tweet, President Trump said hey, those where is small weapons that didnt really bother him though they bothered some others. The other key issue between japan and the u. S. Is trade and there President Trump tweeted that the two leaders were making progress but they were going to hold off on making a deal until after japan holds elections for the house of counselors in july. Thats the essentially the upper house of parliament. That is a bit of a concession to his japanese alley at a time when the government here says its economy, its forecasting that its economy is slowing down. Sos in one sense, contradicting his japanese alley. In the other sense, giving a concession to his japanese alley as he and the Prime Minister continue to enjoy all of these things. They choppered out to a golf course today and moments ago they walked into a stadium where you have the finals of a tournament of sumo wrestling. It is the most iconic. Japanese sports. Sumo. A contest between huge men grappling in a tiny ring. And the u. S. President is getting a front row seat for the finals of the grand sumo tournament during his visit to tokyo. What would you advise President Trump to know about the sport as hes about to attend . Well, the rules itself, the rules themselves are very simple. Its a down or out situation. So i think he wont have nets problem understanding whats going on in the ring. John gunning is an iraq sports columnist based in japan. He says President Trump will witness firsthand an ancient tradition. All the pa jonathantory and everything, thats several hundred years and perhaps thousz years of japanese tradition and culture all mixed together, religion, sports, entertainment, a mishmash of all those things. Reporter this issue expatriate is an expert when it comes to sumo. Joining sumo is like joining a mo mastic order. He competed as an amateur wrestler and has the scars to problem it. I fractured a skull, broke teeth, fractured add eye socket, broke an arm lengthways into three pieces. Almost always i ended up with some kind of injury. Reporter President Trump is no stranger to a very different quintessentially american style of wrestling. Before his political career, he made appearances. U. S. Professional wrestling shows. But japans much older version of the sport is much more spartan. Often starting at the age of 15, athletes live, eat and train in stables. Only those few who claw their way to the top become wealthy superstars. Centuries of history and tradition give sumo a special place in japanese society. It has a special place i think in the heart, even people hole are not sports fans are sumo fans. Reporter on sunday, the u. S. President will present a trophy to japans next national champion. It will be called the president s cup. So george and natalie, im sure and the viewers want to know how this tournament is developing. First of all, we know already the outcome that the winner is going to be a rookie by professional sumo standards, a 25yearold japanese athlete named asanayama but hes already wrestled in front of the japanese Prime Minister and President Trump and he lost. But he still wins despite this loss by sheer points and numbers of wins throughout the whole tournament. Now, the president s cup, thats the trophy that President Trump will be awarding, it is the size of a small child. Its be 4 1 2 feet tall, weighs 60 to 70 pounds. And were told that President Trump will actually be going onto the sacred mound, that ring where the wrestlers gather and he will be presenting itting there wearing slippers according to sumo etiquette and he will be reading from a scroll. This is worth noting. Melania trump, the first lady will not be allowed in the sacred mound because according to sumos ancient rules, women are not allowed in this sacred space. Thats been a controversy in professional sumo in recent years heres in japan. Natalie. Ivan watson, thank you. It has always been ricky to climb mount ever rest but as the crowds of people wanting to scale the worlds tallest mountain, the danger grows, too. Thats coming up.

This is my moms house this place is home. A lot of firsts happened here. First kiss, first cigarette. Never saw it as a problem. But when i was younger. 2 cigarettes, 3 cigarettes it wasnt; it wasnt a habit. My mom she was always like you need to do something, you need to get rid of them. That was her thing. As time went on, as smoking started falling out of fashion in society and rules started changing. Gave the juul a real chance and. Found that i liked it. Found that it really works. The switch was easy. It was a no brainer really. But now that i look at people who smoke i am like dude really . you still doing that . You know theres an alternative to that right . You dont have to do that. The person that i like to think that i am is because of her. This came from her. Really. Welcome back. The u. S. President is into day two of his fourday state visit to japan. Right now he and the Prime Minister shinzo abe are attending a sumo tournament. Well see how the president enjoyed that. The two leads are play ed a round of golf there and the president claimed the u. S. And japan were getting close to a trade deal. The president said north korea fired off some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others but not me. That statement directly at odds with japans view of north koreas actions. Lets talk abouting it with scott lucas. He teaches International Politics at the university of birmingham in england and founder and ed ter of ea word view. Thanks for being with us. Good morning. I want to ask you on his first full day in japan, the president 2003s that he trusts their biggest regional foe north korea when weise know the small weapons they recently fired are often aimed at japan. Why would the president say that . Because its all about the 2020 effort to get reelection. See, its interesting how that tweet continues, natalie. Because the next sentence then says that kim jongun who is now effectively an ally of dnld in his eyes it allegedly called joe biden a low iq individual. So what trump did was two things in this tweet. First is he keeps saying he i can make this deal with north korea. I can make this deal with north korea. Dismissing his u. S. Agencies who sees there are Serious Problems and then he says and by the way, the North Koreans agree with me that joe bide is awful. This only go on and on until november 2020, because Donald Trumps overriding concern is not the Nuclear Missile programs in north korea or indeed the security of japan where he is right now. Its whether or not he gets a second term in the white house. Yes, and hes getting pushbacking from candidate biden on that. Meantime though, scott, shin zoef abe continues to court the u. S. President even as the president seems so shrug off a hostile move by north korea which would be harmful to japan. Why is the japanese leader so invested in donald trump . What does he get from it . Well, because in general and this isnt just shinzo abe, most leaders around the world know that if youre going to maneuver or arguably manipulate trump, you flatter him. Weve seen the saudis do it and Vladimir Putin do it and now we see the japanese lay on the ceremony. Trump loves golf so shinzo abe takes a selfie with trump on the golf course. The sumo tournament where trump gets to be guest of honor. But the practical issue behind this look, trump imposed tariffs not only on china as we know, not only on the European Union but he imposed tariffs on japan and japan would like to reduce those tariffs so theyre going to play up to trump even though i dont think well see any trade deal. He says it wont occur till july. Japan cant just walk away from the u. S. Whether they like or not what he says on twitter, the u. S. Is keels to Regional Security especially with the north korea issue being unresolved. Do you think donald trump values the alliance with japp . I think donald trump values a photo opportunity and i think he values anybody who likes to play up to him. I think what that means for the u. S. Japanese Alliance and the uss nato alliance, thats better left to the officials than and what donald trump thinks. I want to ask you this though. From a global diplomacy perspective, might this long visit in japan help boost the president at a time when is he in various dog phis with democrats back at home . Yeah, i this thats what obviously the trump team hopes. You know, this is the leader, this is the president. They want to get that boost of the incumbency going in 2020, but the flipside is how does it play with americans. Do americans actually see stability, do they actually see a coherent Foreign Policy not only in the photos but on twitter or actually are they seeing this kind of instability, this uncertainty in the words of Rex Tillerson who just said last week that donald trump while tillerson was secretary of state was almost incoherent and out of control. And what did donald trump do . He went on twitter to say that Rex Tillerson was a very dumb man. Well, well be seeing what else he tweets because hes got three more days there in japan and we appreciate your insights as always. Scott lucas, thank you. Thank you, natalie. Mt. Everest it has been a deadlier than usual climbing season. Since friday three people have died trying to reach the summit of the worlds tallest mountain. That brings the number of dead or presumed dead this year to nine. The latest casualty was a british mountaineer who died on saturday. On his post, he warned overcrowding at the summit could prove fatal. That traffic jam, the one you see there earlier this week may have contributed to two deaths. Nepals tourism director calls that will claim baseless and blames altitude sickness. Alan arnett has climbed mt. Everest four times. Hes experienced a lot with what he calls the death zone, thats the part of the mountain where oxygen is dangerously low and earlier he told our colleague martin fa savidge his thoughts how high traffic in the death zone might relate to the recent deaths. Theres a confluence of factors that have all come together this year in a perfect deadly storm on evert. Nepal issued a Record Number of permits to foreigners of 381 permits plus they require a guide for each foreigner. Theres 800 people just on the nepal side. Normally the jet stream sits for 50 out of the 52 weeks each year and then it moves off in the middle of may and opens up whats called the summit windows. Last year there were 11 consecutive days, the longest on record. Normally its around five to seven to eight days. This year its been only five. So you have 800 people trying to squeeze through a small window. On evert, almost 29,000 fight, your body is slowly degrading. Its called the death zone for a reason. Our bodies slowly die at those altitudes. If you spend 10, 12, 14 hours to go to the summit typically you dont take enough oxygen for that and six to seven hours to get back down at that pace. Youre talking about a 20hour day and thats a recipe for disaster. The alan arnett knows what its like to summit that the mountain. The conservative heavyweights in the uk are throwing their hats into the ring to succeed Prime Minister theresa may. Will the winner be able to strike a brexit deal. Thats the question.

The Mobile Home Park, hotel and a car dealership they were severely damaged there. Rescue crews have been going door to door looking for more victims. An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8. 0 has just struck northern peru, approximate depth of 70 miles. Cnn reporters felt the earthquake as far away as venezuela. Well have more as this story develops. The u. S. President donald trump on a state visit to japan and says the u. S. And japan have made progress on a trade deal. He sent out the tweet after a round of golf with the Prime Minister. Shinzo tlaib. Earlier, there trump tweeted that he was not disturbed by recent north Korean Missile tests despite japans concerns and misgivings. Irans foreign minister was in baghdad meeting with the iraqi president and Prime Minister. Officials say they discussed sanctions and avoiding the dangers of war. This many comes as the u. S. Says its sending more troops to the region to counter iran. Now to the United Kingdom where conservative Party Candidates are lining up for a leadership contest to select the next Prime Minister. Theresa may announced on flied she will be stepping down as party leader on june 7th after failing to get her brexit deal passed. The former foreign secretary Boris Johnson is the current front runner to replace miss may, but the contest is wide open with about a dozen conservative mps joining or hoping to join that race. Lets go live to london. Selma abdelaziz is following the story. How does this process work to narrow the field of conservatives who want this job . Well, george, were expecting, we already have certain people who have put their name forward for the candidacy of the conservative Leadership Party but were expecting 10 to 15 or even more people to come forward. Now, over the next few weeks youre going to see all the candidates come forward with their pitches, with their agendas. In a few weeks time, once the Prime Minister steps down, those names will be whittled down to just two potential candidates. Those two candidates will be voted on by paper ballot by the conservative members or by the conservative membership which is about 125,000 people across the country who submit by paper ballot by the end of jewel, we should have a new Prime Minister in place but the concern senior that its only october 31st that the uk officially leaves the eu giving that new Prime Minister just three months time, george and natalie. That is the question, salma. A new Prime Minister sure, but the dynamics around brexit dont really change a lot. Its the same deal that parliament has rejected time after time after time. Reporter thats absolutely right. And all eyes are, of course, on this contest. I just brute you a few sunday papers so you can see what people are talking about here, the race is on from the sunday telegraph. Boris challenges his rival again. Stop Boris Johnson here from the observer. And this one, turning toxic already. So you can just see there people here have watched this bitter infighting happening for three years now as brexit has been delayed and postponed and really theres not much appetite for more political infighting, more of these rivalries to take place. Thats exactly whats happening. Analysts will tell you its not an issue of who is the Prime Minister. Its not an issue of who holds office because those obstacles are still in place. Participant is still in deadlock. There is no consensus there and brussels has already said theyre not going to spend time renegotiating what theyve been negotiating for 2 1 2 years. Really the nightmare of brexit continues. You mentioned this process taking about three years. This new Prime Minister will have three months to try to get it over the hurdle . Well see. Thats exactly right institute thank you again for the reporting. Well keep in touch. Yes, good lucking with that. Whomever steps any. Now to another important vote, that would be the european election. Sunday is the last day for voters to cast a ballot in the worlds biggest multicountry sfleekz were talking about more than 350 Million People eligible to choose representatives in the european parliament.

And now amanda eller is speaking out about her experience and shes thanking all the people who searched and prayed for her. There were times of total fear and loss and wanting to give up and it did come down to life and death and i had to choose. And i chose life. I wasnt going to take the easy way out. Even though that meant more suffering and pain for myself. But this is just like a tiny little blip of my story just seeing the power of prayer and the power of love when everybody combines their efforts is incredible. It can move mountains. And at some point i think we all thought that was lost in the world and its beautiful to know that its not only lost but its its so prevalent. Boy is she happy to be alive. Amanda also thanked everyone who donated money for her search and rescue. She says the funds are paying for the helicopters that located her.

Way, way out. Somewhere way far above twin falls between two waterfalls down a deep ravine in a creek bed. You can cry to you. Its awesome, man. Thats like the best. Doing pretty well. You got a good memorial day now. Reporter a photo on the page showed her just before the air evacuation surrounded by members of a search team. She appeared to be only slightly injured. And this picture of the ravine where she was apparently found. I was crying with tears of joy. Reporter her mother juliette told khon amanda used water sources and ate the barrys she found, strawberries guava and other item to sustain her. I never gave up hope for a minute even though at times i would have those moments of despair, i stayed strong for her because i knew we would find her if we just stayed with the program, stayed persistent. Reporter authors said eller, a 35yearold Yoga Instructor disappeared after going on a hike may 8th. Her car was found with her cell phone inside at a Forest Reserve parking lot. A last image of her cas wap toured on Surveillance Video buying a mothers day gift the day before she was reported missing. A 50,000 reward was being offered for information regarding her disappearance and possible abduction. My god. Reporter but now theres an ending that some are calling miraculous. Unbelievable. If you believe in prayer, folks, thank your lord because this is an answer. Reporter jessica dean, cnn, atlanta. That is just incredible. Her family what they went through. Shes so fortunate.

South african nation which is home to some 130,000 elephants imposed a ban on killing elephants notice 2014 to try and stop poaching but the government now says elephants raid crops, affect livelihoods and destroy Water Supplies sometimes injuring people. One flickmaker hopes her new film will help change laws like the one in botswana. Kerry david and her crew completed a documentary that shines a light on poaching and the females, the women of africa who try to protect these animals. I found out about the human Animal Wildlife crisis and the poaching crisis and then i started to research it. The more i researched the worse the information got. But i started to hear about some incredible women who were doing remarkable things. I thought im a flixmaker. What i can doing is tell their stories. And kerry david, the woman behind breaking their silence. Joins me now. Thanks so much for joining us. Thanks so much for having me, natalie. Lovely to meet you. Same here. Youre an awardwinning filmmaker and advocate trying to prevent the extinction of multiple species by using your talent for film making. Your film focuses on the women, the female rangers that rick their lives to protect wildlife in africa. Why is this unique that there is a female corps in africa doing this. Its a patriarch is society so women at the forefront of this fight is it usual itself. When i first went over there, it was to start a nonprofit called over and above africa and i wanted to really research what was happening. There were some incredible men doing phenomenal work in the space but i couldnt see any of the women. I thought i know theyre there. Slowly i started talking to women saying can you point out one or two women working in this space. The most phenomenal women were stepping forward and i got to meet them. It was almost like there was an underground silent team of women that was unusual also. How did it come about that women decided we want to be on the forefront of this too, we want to the protect wildlife and what is sacred to africa . I think it was necessity. I think what they were seeing was many of the women came in to triage what was happening, petro nell was a captain in the police force in south africa which in itself is unusual. And there were so much damage being left behind by poachers she started a rhino orphanage and left the police force all together. None of the women i interviewed had the idea of being in conservation when they started out. They sort of came to it because women are by nature compassionate and i think they had to step into this space and start triaging and growing into the occupations that they did. We know how dangerous this work is. I mean, and you say in your film, there is a demand machine of it coming from Asian Countries for rhino horn, for ivory and youve got abject poverty in the africa, people that will supply it because they need the funding. Give us an example of how dangerous the work is that these women are doing to fight these poachers and protect these animals. I could give you so many examples. Ill use one which is inga. Inga was in tanzania with her husband wayne and he was with pams foundation. The work they were doing in tanzania was phenomenal. They were starting to really var effect. The elephants are starting to come back in numbers. This got dangerous because they started to get threats. They knew where his wife and children were. See he sent his wife and children back to south africa for their safety. Shortly after that, wayne was murdered. He was on his way back to his daughters 21st birthday party. They still havent found any of the people that were responsible but it was believed that it was the Crime Syndicate that were so upset by what he was doing thats how come there was a hit on him. Now they have paid the severe price not only having lost their husband and father but not knowing who did it or why. Yeah, that is a horrible story. Really feel for her. Lets talk about the impact that these women are having on the frontlines. And i ask this at a time when weve just learned that botswana Just Announced the country will resume allowing the hunting of animals such as elephants. Talk about that if you could. You know, its heart breaking because all along, ive been learning abouting this for the last four or five years. Weve been able to be hold botswana up and say this is the model, the country working with the animals so beautifully with tourism. Big life, id love to share this with you, but big life released a report that they did a study and over the life of an elephant through tourism, they can bring in approximately each elephant 140 million approximately. But if you kill it just to hunt it, its 40,000. So actually, it is more effective to find ways to keep these elephants alive and find ways to live in harmony with mankind than it is to actually lift the ban as this new president has done and declare open season on these he will fans which are such beautiful sent yent beings. Last question here. So you made this film in record time. 18 months. You went to several countries. You went to asia. What do you hope your film will do for this effort and for women, as well .
