Good morning - Jenny here, live with all the news you need	:00:00.	:00:00.
Europe's Mars mission crosses it's fingers for a safe landing.	:00:00.	:00:17.
And the people looking after these cute but spiky creatures.	:00:18.	:00:31.
When was the last time you saw a hedgehog?	:00:32.	:00:33.
Well, research carried out by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust has	:00:34.	:00:38.
found there has been a huge drop in the number of hedgehogs	:00:39.	:00:41.
Hedgehogs - they are cute and prickly, but life in busy towns	:00:42.	:00:46.
and cities can present a real dangers for our spiky friends.	:00:47.	:00:49.
Sanctuaries like this one just go to show the problems	:00:50.	:01:09.
There are 80 to 90 hedgehogs here, all tucked up safe and warm.	:01:10.	:01:14.
They are usually found by people who bring them to us.	:01:15.	:01:18.
We have abandoned babies, babies who have wandered off	:01:19.	:01:20.
Injuries through streamers and netting, road accidents.	:01:21.	:01:23.
We also have the sick ones that are found lying in people's	:01:24.	:01:26.
We try to get them up to weight as soon as possible and then	:01:27.	:01:30.
25-year-old Ali is the youngest hedgehog officer in the UK,	:01:31.	:01:39.
and it is her job to link up these areas of green space to give	:01:40.	:01:42.
hedgehogs the chance to move around freely and safely when they come	:01:43.	:01:45.
We have obviously got lots of great parks across the town but also	:01:46.	:01:54.
lots of houses, fences and walls making it difficult for them to get	:01:55.	:01:57.
between these great habitats, so we are trying to get volunteers	:01:58.	:01:59.
on board who will manage their gardens for hedgehogs	:02:00.	:02:02.
and will hopefully persuade their neighbours to do the same	:02:03.	:02:05.
so we have whole streets of connected gardens that hedgehogs	:02:06.	:02:07.
will be able to easily navigate their way through.	:02:08.	:02:10.
We have got a hole down here so they can get	:02:11.	:02:13.
Ten-year-old Daisy is one of the many people across	:02:14.	:02:22.
the UK doing their bit to help the hedgehogs.	:02:23.	:02:24.
It is important to take care of hedgehogs because they are	:02:25.	:02:27.
endangered and I want them to be around when I am older.	:02:28.	:02:34.
I've been making it somewhere that hedgehogs can come and live and stay	:02:35.	:02:37.
For example, I have made some houses and I give them water	:02:38.	:02:44.
Anyone my age that wants to do it, I'd say, yes, they can do it,	:02:45.	:02:56.
because the more help that we have, the more hedgehogs there will be.	:02:57.	:03:01.
And in Champions League action last night,	:03:02.	:03:04.
Leicester City are on the brink of making the knockout stages	:03:05.	:03:06.
A Riyad Mahrez goal helped the Premier League champions	:03:07.	:03:10.
beat FC Copenhagen 1-0, to now make it three	:03:11.	:03:12.
They are already five points clear of second place, and seem	:03:13.	:03:17.
Elsewhere, Tottenham were away at German side	:03:18.	:03:20.
And they had their goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to thank after coming	:03:21.	:03:24.
He put in a man-of-the-match performance to secure them a point,	:03:25.	:03:30.
Later, today the space probe Schiaparelli is all set to land	:03:31.	:03:40.
If all goes well, it will be the European Space Agency's	:03:41.	:03:44.
first successful landing on the Red Planet.	:03:45.	:03:46.
If this attempt works, it'll be the start of a mission that experts	:03:47.	:03:49.
believe stands the greatest chance yet of finding evidence	:03:50.	:03:51.
Professor Tim O'Brien from Jodrell Bank joins me now.	:03:52.	:04:03.
Tim, this isn't the first landing on Mars, is it?	:04:04.	:04:06.
It is the mission that is going to test the technology that lets us	:04:07.	:04:17.
land on Mars so it is difficult, but we looking forward to future	:04:18.	:04:22.
missions and in 2020 we will send a Rover to Mars that will drive deep	:04:23.	:04:26.
into the surface of Mars. It is all about how we get from space right	:04:27.	:04:30.
down to the surface successfully. An exciting time.	:04:31.	:04:35.
Astronaut Tim Peake told Newsround he believes	:04:36.	:04:37.
I am not sure it will be intelligent life but there could be life on	:04:38.	:04:47.
Mars. There is another spacecraft going around Mars and that one is	:04:48.	:04:51.
designed to look for gases like methane in the atmosphere that are	:04:52.	:04:54.
thought to be produced by like some microbes might even exist now below	:04:55.	:04:59.
the surface of Mars. The last time there was a European mission to land	:05:00.	:05:04.
on Mars it was not successful. You're a part of that. Why was it so	:05:05.	:05:11.
tricky? Yes, Beagle Two was a British spacecraft drop on	:05:12.	:05:18.
tomorrow's -- on to Mars. I was in the control room. It is hard. It	:05:19.	:05:25.
hits the atmosphere moving at 20,000km/h so it heats up	:05:26.	:05:29.
incredibly, has to slow down with parachutes and rockets until it is	:05:30.	:05:33.
just above the surface at which point the rocket switch off and it	:05:34.	:05:35.
drops onto the surface for the last two metres so it is very difficult	:05:36.	:05:39.
to do and in very harsh conditions as well. My goodness! An exciting	:05:40.	:05:44.
time. Thank you for coming in to speak to us about it. We will have	:05:45.	:05:48.
more on that. Make sure you're watching online as well.	:05:49.	:05:50.
Newsround's back right here at 4.20 with Ricky.	:05:51.	:05:53.
Don't forget to go online for all the rest of the day's stories,	:05:54.	:05:56.
