Keep watching, you're live with Newsround this Wednesday.

The superstar footy fan whose dreams came true.

And we meet one of the stars of the new X-Men movie.

where at least one rhino is killed every day for their horn.

The country is home to the largest population of rhino in the world,

but poaching is driving these amazing creatures

to make a special report about defending the rhino.

I spoke to a ranger at an animal reserve

about how bad the problem of poaching is there.

We've had such a problem with the poaching here, we've had poachers

coming in almost up to twice a week trying to shoot these animals and

kill them for their horns. By taking their horns off, you're reducing the

risk of chaps coming into to poach them. People don't realise what is

going on in this country with the poaching. There's actually a war

going on. to talk more about this,

is Simon Jones from How bad is the situation in South

Africa and worldwide? There are five spooshies of rhinos around the world

in Africa and Asia. It is really bad for them at the moment. They are

being killed illegally. Being poached for their horn. Why is the

situation so bad? It's bad now because around the world people

believe the rhino horn has medicinal healing powers. It's very expensive

to buy on the black market, illegally. People are buying it,

using it. It has a status symbol. How can kids help? Work together to

help the rhino? Kids are the key, that next generation. They can tell

their friends what they've learnt, seen on Newsround today. Encourage

their parents and family members to talk to MPs, talk to people who have

an influence. Internationally, we have to find a way to stop people

using and stop the poachers. What do you think is so special about rhinos

for you? Rhinos are big, they've been around since the dinosaurs. I

just love everything about them. The way they move around. They affect so

much around the planet we live in. Thank you for joining us.

And you can watch the film this afternoon on CBBC at 5pm

You can also see how rhino get rid of their ticks

and find out how we managed to film animals up close.

Now to the boy who is getting the chance to meet players

from his favourite football team, Tottenham.

Eight-year-old Marshall is a huge footie fan and even though

he doesn't have any feet, due to an illness called meningitis,

he doesn't let it stop him playing the beautiful game.

Tomorrow, a dream will come true for him

as he meets Spurs players and gets to have a kickaround with them.

He's a good goalie. He always saves them. He's really helpful and he

never gives up. They're so good to me. They help me up when I fall over

Northern Ireland every time. Now he's gone from

soapstar to superhero. Actor Ben Hardy, who played

Peter Beale in Eastenders, is one of the big stars in the new

superhero movie X-Men Apocalypse. alongside famous actors

like Jennifer Lawrence. He joined Leah in the

studio this morning. She asked him if he's always wanted

to be an action hero. When you're a kid, you play around

and think I'm Superman, Batman. To be part of a film franchise where I

get to act that was amazing. If you could have any other X-Men kind of

power, apart from the wings, what would you do? I'd be Wolverine. I'd

go Quicksilver. Super speedy. Last up, astronomers from NASA have

discovered more than 1,200 They say nine of them

could potentially support life.. They were detected by NASA's Kepler

space telescope which searches The discoveries mean there are now

more than three thousand planets we know about,

beyond our solar system. Leah will be here at

7.40am tomorrow morning. Don't forget Defending the Rhino is

on CBBC in just over half an hour.
