They cut them but they don't think about planting again," he told the BBC.Across Africa desertification is one of the reasons blamed for deforestation but, in this area, along the sweeping expanse of the Casamance River, the trees are more likely to have been cut down for construction purposes like building house...

Sports

We could see some rather unusual starting line-ups from Jurgen Klopp and Brendan Rodgers today. Indeed, Liverpool and Leicester may barely be able to fill their benches at Anfield due to an absurd amount of absentees. AFP or licensors Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool host Leicester in the Premier League on Sunday The champions host the league-leaders in what should be a fascinating match, but it’ll be largely makeshift line-ups for both sides – particularly in defence.

It was an international break from hell for Jurgen Klopp, who almost predicted it by hitting out at the fixture schedule before the players went away. So assuming they don...
