UK Ivory Ban - What's the point?
The trade of items made from ivory will be banned in the UK in a bid to help protect elephants, ministers have announced.
The ban, which the government said will be the toughest in Europe and one of the toughest in the world, will cover items of any age, not just those containing new ivory.
Under plans announced by the environment secretary, Michael Gove, anyone who continues to illegally trade ivory will face an unlimited fine or a jail sentence of up to five years.

Do I get a suspicion that we still live in the best country?
