You are live with Newsround this Saturday afternoon.

:00:00.:00:00.

Ayshah here, with a rundown of the top stories around.

:00:07.:00:08.

And do you know what your cat is saying?

:00:09.:00:25.

This week, lots of schoolchildren have been taking part in BBC

:00:26.:00:28.

News School Report, making news about stories

:00:29.:00:30.

As part of an international project, a group of schoolgirls

:00:31.:00:33.

from Bethnal Green in London have been making friends

:00:34.:00:35.

with teenage girls in Syria. Here is their story.

:00:36.:00:42.

We are linking up with children in Syria

:00:43.:00:49.

who have had to leave their homes because of the conflict there.

:00:50.:00:51.

We have suffered from many problems in the past four years.

:00:52.:00:55.

We have become friends with many teenagers in Damascus

:00:56.:00:57.

as part of a project called My Voice, My School.

:00:58.:01:01.

I have got one brother and four sisters.

:01:02.:01:05.

We found that their lives were very different to ours.

:01:06.:01:08.

They told us that, when they go to school, they say goodbye

:01:09.:01:11.

to their mothers as if they are never

:01:12.:01:13.

They keep having to move home and school and do not have proper

:01:14.:01:18.

I have changed three houses in different places.

:01:19.:01:21.

Despite those differences, we are all teenagers.

:01:22.:01:25.

Before we started, we were talking about Adele, as well.

:01:26.:01:29.

Meeting the teenagers in Syria has left us wanting to do to find out

:01:30.:01:48.

more about what the British government is doing to help children

:01:49.:01:50.

So, we have come to the Department for International

:01:51.:01:54.

Development in Whitehall, to find out more.

:01:55.:02:00.

The fact that we are raising money for aid is great,

:02:01.:02:08.

but how would raising money for aid have

:02:09.:02:09.

an impact if, at the same time, we are bombing Syria?

:02:10.:02:12.

The military action we are involved with is trying to tackle

:02:13.:02:15.

We really have to make sure we finish off this job.

:02:16.:02:18.

Our ambition is to ensure that every childin Syria is back in school

:02:19.:02:22.

by the end of the next academic year.

:02:23.:02:24.

One of the major problems at the moment is the refugee crisis.

:02:25.:02:27.

What would you say to people to people who have concerns

:02:28.:02:30.

I think we should be really proud of all the work

:02:31.:02:34.

It is fantastic that young people around Britain,

:02:35.:02:37.

like you, are passionate about what we can do to help

:02:38.:02:40.

It was great to put our questions to someone in power.

:02:41.:02:53.

However, it does make me feel sad to think of our friends and Syria. But

:02:54.:03:05.

we do have some hope for the future. A new study has found that hedgehogs

:03:06.:03:08.

might soon be extinct in Britain. It is thought that the number

:03:09.:03:12.

of hedgehogs decreases Hayley has been looking at what one

:03:13.:03:14.

park in London is doing to help Hedgehogs are animals that come out

:03:15.:03:18.

at night and like to live in gardens and parks,

:03:19.:03:22.

where they can find food, But thanks to more roads being built

:03:23.:03:24.

and more gardens being covered over, the habitats that hedgehogs need

:03:25.:03:29.

to thrive are disappearing and so, There are a number of reasons why

:03:30.:03:45.

the numbers have been declining. The arrays banning priest use of

:03:46.:03:57.

pesticides. There are also less foraging pleasers for hedgehogs to

:03:58.:03:58.

go. It is thought that, over the past

:03:59.:04:02.

ten years, almost one-third of all our hedgehogs have

:04:03.:04:05.

disappeared from Britain. And thanks to a recent survey

:04:06.:04:07.

from charity Hedgehog Street, we know that they have almost

:04:08.:04:09.

disappeared completely But there is one park

:04:10.:04:11.

in Central London where the hedgehogs are surviving,

:04:12.:04:16.

thanks to volunteers and rangers, who are keeping

:04:17.:04:18.

the park hedgehog-friendly. Every few feet, we have made a hall

:04:19.:04:35.

for them to get through so they can move between the two alias. It

:04:36.:04:41.

expands the amount of habitat they have got. Anything we can do to give

:04:42.:04:48.

him a better chance to find food is better and places to invest will

:04:49.:04:55.

hopefully in the long-term, keep the number is growing.

:04:56.:04:57.

So far, hedgehog numbers in Regents Park are on the up,

:04:58.:05:00.

but it is thought that, if more building over green land

:05:01.:05:03.

takes place, that Britain's hedgehogs might be threatened

:05:04.:05:05.

Now, can you understand your kitty when it makes this noise?

:05:06.:05:09.

Well, experts are trying to translate a range of meowings

:05:10.:05:18.

and purrings to help us communicate with our cats.

:05:19.:05:20.

Moggies meow more at humans then they do to each other

:05:21.:05:23.

and specialists at Lund University in Sweden are testing the different

:05:24.:05:25.

They hope to be able to understand the feline language by 2021.

:05:26.:05:34.

And last up, Harry Styles has got a new job.

:05:35.:05:37.

He has just landed his first film role.

:05:38.:05:39.
