Afternoon, Newsrounders.

0:00:030:00:04

You're live with me Martin and some of this on the way.

0:00:040:00:07

How to save a Tasmanian devil from extinction.

0:00:070:00:12

Plus why popstar Adele is wearing a disguise.

0:00:120:00:16

But first to the latest on what's been happening in France's

0:00:330:00:33

capital city, Paris.

0:00:360:00:37

It's a week since a series of attacks there.

0:00:370:00:39

They were carried out by the extremist group Islamic State

0:00:390:00:41

and today world leaders meeting at the United Nations have agreed

0:00:410:00:44

a plan to try do everything possible to stop further attacks.

0:00:440:00:47

Now loads of you have sent us questions this

0:00:470:00:48

week asking about what happened in Paris and what it all means.

0:00:480:00:52

So I took them to the BBC's expert on this subject, security

0:00:520:00:54

correspondent, Frank Gardner.

0:00:540:00:55

So, first off, Aditya and Jessica and actually a lot of other people

0:00:550:00:58

are asking why did Islamic State want to attack France?

0:00:580:01:03

The answer that so-called Islamic State have given is that

0:01:030:01:06

it's in retaliation, in revenge, for the French bombing

0:01:060:01:10

of their positions in Syria.

0:01:100:01:14

But the French are doing that to try and protect the local population.

0:01:140:01:18

Cara, who's eight, says, what are the soldiers and policemen doing

0:01:180:01:21

to keep the people in Paris safe?

0:01:210:01:25

Cara, I think the main point of the soldiers and police

0:01:250:01:28

on the streets is to try and reassure the public, but also to

0:01:280:01:33

put off any terrorists who might think of maybe attacking again.

0:01:330:01:40

And when they see the police with guns, hopefully,

0:01:400:01:42

they won't want to attack.

0:01:420:01:45

That's the main purpose of it.

0:01:450:01:47

So Victoria, who's 10, says, is it likely that the UK will get attacked

0:01:470:01:51

and if so, are we prepared for it?

0:01:510:01:54

That's something Liam, Hazel, Tana and lots of other kids have

0:01:540:01:57

been asking as well.

0:01:570:02:00

There have been a number of attempted attacks, people trying

0:02:000:02:02

to do attacks in this country.

0:02:020:02:04

Nothing like as big or horrific as Paris, but smaller and still

0:02:040:02:09

nasty attacks which the police and the spies have been able to stop.

0:02:090:02:14

But they say sooner or later there is a chance that

0:02:140:02:17

something might get through.

0:02:170:02:19

What I would say is this, though.

0:02:190:02:21

The chances of you or me or any of your friends being caught up

0:02:210:02:24

in it are very, very small.

0:02:240:02:26

Tiny, in fact.

0:02:260:02:28

Yes, there is a high chance there will be an attack somewhere

0:02:280:02:31

in Britain of some sort.

0:02:310:02:33

Probably quite small, but the chances of you being caught

0:02:330:02:35

up in it or involved in it are very, very small indeed

0:02:350:02:39

so don't change your way of life.

0:02:390:02:42

You can see Frank answering more questions on the Newsround website

0:02:420:02:45

and there's lots more on what's happening in Paris.

0:02:450:02:48

Plus help and advice if anything in the news upsets you.

0:02:480:02:52

Now, the Premier League is back following the international break

0:02:520:02:55

and, in the early kick-off, Watford are taking on Manchester United with

0:02:550:02:59

the score currently 1-0 to Man U.

0:02:590:03:02

Later today, all eyes will be on the match

0:03:020:03:04

between Liverpool and Manchester City, when ex-Liverpool striker

0:03:040:03:07

Raheem Sterling comes up against his old club for the first time

0:03:070:03:10

since leaving them in the summer.

0:03:100:03:14

I always think there is a pressure for the player to play against, not

0:03:140:03:17

only for Raheem, for every player to play a team they were at a lot

0:03:170:03:22

of years and maybe for James Milner it would be exactly the same.

0:03:220:03:28

It's part of the career of the player, another defending,

0:03:280:03:32

another shirt.

0:03:320:03:34

Now to a special wildlife project to try and save one

0:03:340:03:37

of the world's most famous animals.

0:03:370:03:38

Tasmanian Devils live on an island off the coast of Australia but it's

0:03:380:03:41

taken lots of hard work to try and keep them from going extinct.

0:03:410:03:47

The Tasmanian devil.

0:03:470:03:49

It can grow as long as 76 centimetres.

0:03:490:03:52

But they are under threat from a deadly cancer that has

0:03:520:03:54

threatened them with extinction.

0:03:540:03:57

The disease has caused the population of devils to crash

0:03:570:03:59

to 10,000 from an estimated 250,000 when the disease was first

0:03:590:04:04

discovered nearly 20 years ago.

0:04:040:04:07

What happens is, it's transferred simply by touch, so the devil's

0:04:070:04:12

natural feeding behaviour and mating behaviour, whenever they

0:04:120:04:16

come into contact with each other, this disease can be transmitted,

0:04:160:04:20

and, thus the rapid decline.

0:04:200:04:23

It is a very nasty disease.

0:04:230:04:26

After three months, we see symptoms.

0:04:260:04:27

After six months, those devils are gone.

0:04:270:04:31

But there is hope.

0:04:310:04:33

A group of 22 disease-free captive creatures have been flown 250

0:04:330:04:36

kilometres from Sydney to their natural habitat in Tasmania.

0:04:360:04:43

They were then released into bushland,

0:04:430:04:45

surrounded by fencing to help protect them from any wild Tasmanian

0:04:450:04:49

devils infected with the disease.

0:04:490:04:52

The project currently has 180 Tasmanian devils in the programme,

0:04:520:04:55

making it the largest captive population in Australia.

0:04:550:05:01

It's hoped if this first reintroduction is

0:05:010:05:03

successful, more of these endangered animals can be released to help save

0:05:030:05:06

the future of the species.

0:05:060:05:10

Now, finally, the singer Adele has auditioned as herself

0:05:100:05:12

for a special BBC programme.

0:05:120:05:15

Everyone else there thought they were competing in an Adele

0:05:150:05:18

sing-a-like contest but the star herself donned

0:05:180:05:22

a disguise and pretended her name was Jenny to take part.

0:05:220:05:25

It was all for a special show about her.

0:05:250:05:29

And it didn't take long for the other contestants to work

0:05:290:05:31

out what was going on.

0:05:310:05:33

# When the rain is blowing in your face

0:05:330:05:37

# And the whole world is... #

0:05:370:05:43

You are joking me?

0:05:430:05:47

# I could offer you a warm embrace... #

0:05:470:05:52

That's it for today.

0:05:520:05:54

We're back tomorrow at 10.

0:05:540:05:55

Bye!
