Hello again.

0:00:130:00:13

It's Monday, I'm Jenny, live with your first Newsround update.

0:00:130:00:16

Coming up:

0:00:160:00:16

The red planet rover touching down after a 400 million mile journey.

0:00:160:00:19

Plus, Ayshah goes on the hunt for a rare type of toad.

0:00:190:00:23

But first, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to

0:00:230:00:25

the streets to ask world leaders to do more to protect the environment.

0:00:250:00:33

More than 10,000 people, including the Nanny McPhee actress Emma

0:00:330:00:36

Thompson, turned out in London for a special march to urge countries

0:00:360:00:39

around the globe to cut the amount of harmful gases they produce.

0:00:390:00:41

It was one of more than 2,000 marches planned

0:00:410:00:44

for the start of United Nations talks later this week.

0:00:440:00:46

Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been asked to speak

0:00:460:01:23

Next to Mars, and the US Space Agency mission that hit the Red

0:01:230:01:26

Planet's orbit just a few hours ago.

0:01:260:01:28

NASA? Maven craft has been whizzing through space for

0:01:280:01:30

the past ten months, travelling more than 442 million miles from Earth.

0:01:300:01:33

The Maven had to slow down enough to allow the gravity

0:01:330:01:35

on Mars to grab it.

0:01:350:01:36

Once the spacecraft is in position on the planet it will

0:01:360:01:39

spend the next year investigating why Mars is so dry.

0:01:390:01:48

Now, when you think of endangered species, you usually

0:01:480:01:50

think of pandas and tigers.

0:01:500:01:52

But scientists in Scotland are worried about another type

0:01:520:01:54

of creature, natterjack toads.

0:01:540:02:01

Their numbers are falling, and researchers are looking into

0:02:010:02:03

new ways to make sure they survive.

0:02:030:02:04

We sent Ayshah on a mission to track down the slimy rare amphibians.

0:02:040:02:29

I am looking for natterjack toads.

0:02:290:02:41

Their numbers have been falling.

0:02:410:02:49

The best time to spot them is at night.

0:02:490:02:58

Let's look.

0:02:580:03:13

We couldn't spot a single toad.

0:03:130:03:31

Once found, they are measured and photographed.

0:03:310:03:44

The line is different on every toad.

0:03:440:03:54

Time for me to hop off.

0:03:540:04:03

And sticking with animals, let's have more

0:04:030:04:05

I am looking for natterjack toads.

0:04:050:04:06

of your scary spider stories after the news that we'll be seeing

0:04:060:04:11

Experts say we can expect a "good spider season" because of the

0:04:110:04:14

recent mild weather, which has meant there are more

0:04:140:04:16

insects for the spiders to eat.

0:04:160:04:17

And that's prompted loads of you to tell us about your spider sightings

0:04:170:04:21

over on the website Abigail said, ?I saw a giant spider in my room

0:04:210:04:24

and I couldn't sleep till my mum had thrown it out of the window.?

0:04:240:04:27

Emily from Birmingham saw four spiders in three days.

0:04:270:04:29

She said one was bigger than her hand!

0:04:290:04:31

Melly from London said, ?I've seen loads in my garden and

0:04:310:04:34

in the corner of the room.

0:04:340:04:35

I hate spiders!?

0:04:350:04:36
