First - take a look at this spectacular picture of lightning

flashes as a powerful volcano erupted in Japan.

:00:32.:00:35.

The Sakurajima volcano on the island of Kyushu regularly explodes,

:00:36.:00:40.

In the latest fiery blast, the volcano has blasted thick ash into

:00:41.:00:58.

the sky. Local people have not had to move from their homes, and no one

:00:59.:01:03.

was hurt. The volcano is one of the biggest tourist attractions. But the

:01:04.:01:10.

latest volcano eruption means that no one can go up the mountain. The

:01:11.:01:18.

last eruption was in 2013. No one was injured.

:01:19.:01:22.

And go online to see our guide to what causes volcanoes,

:01:23.:01:24.

There are loads of interesting facts to read and some great pictures too.

:01:25.:01:29.

How do you protect trees are in danger of disappearing? You collect

:01:30.:01:39.

seeds. The monkey puzzle tree is under threat. Hayley has more.

:01:40.:01:44.

These are the unmistakable prickles of the monkey puzzle tree. In the

:01:45.:01:51.

wild, they are in real danger of dying out. Conservationists are

:01:52.:01:53.

working hard to make sure they survived. Back in 2009, the team

:01:54.:02:01.

went to Chile in South America to collect seeds from the last Mullaney

look like this. You will see a route coming out of the bottom within a

of the top. A tiny, spiky sheet. It takes in six years to get to this

:02:21.:02:24.

stage in their lives, but these have done amazingly well. It could be a

:02:25.:02:29.

prehistoric landscape. Monkey puzzle tree 's date back 200 million years

:02:30.:02:34.

to the dinosaur times. These conifers, apart from being poor

:02:35.:02:40.

quality fodder, grow to 130 feet in height. Along with the monkey puzzle

:02:41.:02:44.

tree seeds, thousands of others were also collected in Chile. They were

:02:45.:02:50.

brought back to the millennium seed bank at Wakehurst. They were put

:02:51.:03:01.

into jars and put into huge... In the next few years, it is hoped that

:03:02.:03:04.

a forest landscape like those in Chile can be recreated here on the

:03:05.:03:10.

slopes of Sussex. These trees in Chile are under threat for all sorts

:03:11.:03:18.

of reasons. Collecting the seeds, and having this scientific

:03:19.:03:23.

collection will help to protect the futures of these trees for

:03:24.:03:29.

generations to come. Luckily, they are tough, strong trees that can

:03:30.:03:33.

tolerate snow, rain and wind, which are all is -- all very common in the

of the endangered species living here at the Highland Wildlife Park,

:03:59.:04:00.

but now two new creatures will arrive in Edinburgh

:04:01.:04:03.

later this year. It's hoped their new home

:04:04.:04:05.

will help them breed. A hungry sea lion has been
