Martha is next with the story. Martha nice bag pipes there. Thanks very much. Good afternoon. Im martha maccallum. This is the story. Were waiting response this hour from d. A. Fani willis. We could hear from here any moment after judge mcafee left it up to her if she wants to continue with the trump Election Interference case. He says she will have to do it without her former boyfriend and colleague, nathan wade, who you see to the right of her in that picture. The judge said although she showed a tremendous lapse in judgment in hiring wade, he could not conclude that that had had a Material Conflict in the trump case. In the decision, he did go after her for her unprofessional manner when she stormed in to the atlanta courtroom in february after wade testified. This combative testimony. Watch. As you know, mr. Wade is a southern gentleman. Me not so much. Your honor no, no, no. This is the truth. I object to you getting records. Youve been intrusive in to peoples personal lives. You
Jamaica 1 0 and will now face england. As David Brindle reports it was a tense and nervous game with so much at stake. At the stadium where canada, brazil and the United States were eliminated. Colombia and jamaica hoped to avoid a similar fate for the winners. England await. The first half was physical and tense, but ultimately goalless. That was nothing new forjamaicas defence, whove been impenetrable in this tournament. But when Catalina Guzman brought a long ball down in the area perfectly, she ended that run. Commentator hit the front thanks to their captain on the night. Her second goal of this fifa womens world cup. And it sends the colombians in the stands into raptures. Over 300 minutes had gone by before jamaica conceded their first goal of the tournament and it brought them to life. Moments later, they struck the woodwork, but they probably should have equalised. Colombia spotted an opportunity and immediately hit on the counter a chance to double their lead. To no avail. En
The amazon from reaching, quote, a point of no return. The lengthy roadmap outlined in the city of belem promotes sustainable development, an end to deforestation, and fighting the organised crime that fuels it. Lets take a look at whats at stake the amazon stretches nearly Seven Million square kilometres, or nearly Three Million square miles. About two thirds of that is in brazil. Another seven countries and one terrority share the remaining third. Under brazils former president jair bolsonaro, years of deforestation in the amazon worsened. The orange on this map shows the areas of deforestation between 2019 and 2022 in the state of para, where the summit is being held. But new data shows a positive shift. Deforestation in the amazon fell by 66 last month compared to the year before. Its now at its lowest rate in six years. Our correspondent katy watson is at the summit in the amazon, and has more.

E we will roll with it and you will be surprised what happens in five years time. Lets put this out. So we have to start. Its a big chunk of land of what is available. Yeah. Lets start a plantation over there. The land is there, the village is there, lets do it. Fantastic, fantastic, lets do it, man. Each year has been a record breaking hot year since we remember. So thats when i started looking at the bigger problem. These are a technique of making these large cones that could be 10 12 storeys tall, could hold some 10 million litres of water in the winter and then because of its geometric shape it doesnt melt untiljune. And when it melts in those months, it releases the water slowly, so that trees could be planted in deserts, or it augments the flow of streams so that farmers get a little more water in the crisis period. Upstream where we put the pipe and downstream where we want the ice cone, the water wants to go to the same level as up and there is pressure which throws water into
