You're in the right place for all of Wednesday's top stories. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The "fire" Volcano in Mexico erupts again. | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
And a campaign to save British hedgehogs. | :00:13. | :00:24. | |
Yesterday, we told you about how a famous animal park is | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
planning to make changes to their killer whale displays | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
SeaWorld has said they will phase out entertainment shows | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
at their site in San Diego to concentrate on showing | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
The decision by SeaWorld comes after years of pressure from campaigners | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
who say making the animals perform for people is cruel. | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
One person who agrees with that is CBBC wildlife presenter, Steve | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Orca are the world's largest species of dolphin, and as you'd expect, | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
they have a very big brain, they are very intelligent, | :01:04. | :01:05. | |
they are really social with the other members of their pod, which | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
usually are members of their own family. | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
It has also been shown that they will grieve their dead | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
and they will grieve when their calves are removed away from | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
And this is a creature which can travel 100 miles in a day, | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
like swimming from London to Birmingham, every single day. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
So if you were to take an orca and stick it into, essentially, a | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
large swimming pool, I think it would be | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
bedroom for the whole of the rest of our live with one single song in the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
bedroom for the whole of the rest of our lives with one single song in | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
background being played on loop over and over again, | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
never able to communicate with other members of our friends and family. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
I don't think this one species should be kept in captivity. | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
SeaWorld say they look after the animals well | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
Next, today is Armistice Day - and at 11 o'clock | :01:50. | :02:13. | |
a two minute silence will be held across the country to remember those | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
It starts at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month - | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
the time in 1918 when the guns finally fell silent along the | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Western Front in World War I and an armistice, or peace, was declared. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
People across the country will be marking the event, and we asked some | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
of you what you'll be thinking about at 11 o'clock today. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
I will be thinking about my grandad and many of the | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
soldiers who fought in the war and risked their lives to save us. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
I will be thinking about the people who died for us so we can be | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
I will be thinking about all those soldiers and people that have | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
To me, it means that I am being very respectful to the people | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
It makes me feel proud of my country and people who suffered for us. | :03:03. | :03:14. | |
I will be thinking of the people that risk their lives for our lives, | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
It makes me feel grateful, and I need to respect it. | :03:19. | :03:26. | |
I will be thinking about this poppy because it | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
represents Flanders Field, which was the first poppy to be grown, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
We want to know if you are remembering anyone today. | :03:34. | :03:50. | |
A volcano in Mexico has erupted for the third time in a week, | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
sending a column of smoke thousands of metres into the sky. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
The Colima volcano in the south-west of Mexico has been showing signs | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Over the past months, nearby villages have been blanketed with | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
thick coats of ash but no evacuation was needed for Wednesday's eruption. | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
Next, should we have a national animal in Britian? | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
In Russia they have the bear and in Australia it's the kangaroo . | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
So should the humble hegdehog become the symbol for the UK? | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Well, Conservative MP Oliver Colville thinks so. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
He wants there to be vote on which animal should represent us, | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
He thinks it could help save the species, whose numbers have | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
fallen by more than a third over the last decade, with fewer than | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Finally - it's been a busy few weeks for these guys. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
They're are all dressed up as Father Christmas. | :04:41. | :04:41. | |
These men have just graduated from Santa School in Brazil. | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
The school prepares them for a very busy December which will see many | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
of them working in shopping centres - spreading the Christmas joy! | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | :04:55. | :05:00. |
