Good morning, guys, Jenny here with the kids taking on this top author | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Plus, the record breaking Batmen in Canada. | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
First, to some big news for all you space fans, as in the last few | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
hours a special craft that's spent 10 months travelling to Mars has | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
The Maven craft, built by US space agency NASA, has travelled more than | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
442 million miles from Earth and had to slow down enough to allow | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
All being well, it'll soon touch down on Mars and | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
spend the next year investigating why the planet is so dry. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Now to the kids taking to the pool with one of Britain's best | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Gangsta Granny writer David Walliams, who swam | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
the length of the River Thames for Sport Relief, joined school | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
kids from across the UK to take part in a special swimming relay. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
It's all to get more people into swimming. | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
BBC Sport's Mike Bushell donned his cap and armbands to have a go too. | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
He has tackled the English Channel and the Thames, but this weekend | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
David Williams was part of a relay team taking part in this relay. In | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
18 of mixed abilities, we were challenged with something 1000 | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
metres each broken down into 250 metre chunks. The thing about the | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
challenge this that I have done before is I was not competing | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
against anyone. Here it is different because I got in first and the first | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
thing that happened is someone overtook me and went twice as fast | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
as me, so I didn't like it X by Craig that it | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
as me, so I didn't like it X by to see families enjoy swimming and | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
everyone doing it for the fun of it. Swim Britain, taking place this | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
month at ten venues across the country, instigate more of a | :01:58. | :02:01. | |

swimming, and being a relay event family and friends to join in. It is | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
to try to get people to take part for the fun of it, and it is | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
important for kids to learn to swim. If kids could not swim it would be a | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
shame because there is so much fun you can have in the water. It can be | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
tough at times but you can count on your team-mates to support you on | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
your way around. Unless you keep them waiting too long. And you have | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
a comic genius on your team. I don't think he will finish until tomorrow. | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Good luck, Mike. By! In other news, hundreds of thousands | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
of people have been taking to Thompson, turned out in London for | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
a special march to urge countries around the globe to cut the amount | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
of harmful gases they produce. It was one | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
of more than 2,000 marches planned for the start of United Nations | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
talks on the issue later this week. But probably not toads. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
endangered species, you might Scientists in Scotland are worried | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
about the rare natterjack toad. I have come here to this big reserve | :03:08. | :03:25. | |
in Dumfries in the South of Scotland, and I am on the lookout | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
for something which is really hard to find, natterjack toads. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
Natterjack toads usually live in salt marshes and sand dunes. This | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
environment is unpredictable and can leave the toads without access to | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
fresh water. Since the 1970s their numbers have been falling and | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
researchers think there are only 60 left in this part of Scotland. The | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
best time to spot them is at night. Using one of these, and one of | :03:52. | :04:00. | |
these. Kirsty is a toad expert and it is important to remember some | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
toads can be poisonous so it is best to leave it to the professionals | :04:04. | :04:12. | |
like Kirsty. Let's look. We have been searching that ours and | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
couldn't spot a single natterjack toad. Why is it so difficult to find | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
one? They need sand dunes because they go and hibernate in the winter | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
in the borrower and it keeps them warm. Throughout the UK there are | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
not a lot of them any more. Once a natterjack has been found, they are | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
measured and photographed and the information goes into a big | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
database. We have got fingerprints which are different, and the line on | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
the back of the toad is different for every toad. We have found some | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
toad lips which have emerged this year and got picked Jews of them. | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
The pictures will help scientists to keep track of the Endangered Species | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
Act. -- got pictures of them. Well, sticking with | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
the wildlife theme, loads and loads of you have been getting | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
in touch with your spider stories. It's after experts claimed | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
the mild weather recently could lead Apparently the warmer temperatures | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
mean there are more insects And you've been telling us | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
about your spider sightings on Goldie in London said she had a | :05:13. | :05:27. | |
spider dangle over her head in the car and it was huge. | :05:28. | :05:28. | |
Melly from London said, ?I've seen loads in my garden and | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
And finally, you might have always thought there was just one Batman. | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Well, that?s definitely not the case in one Canadian city. | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
542 men in Calgary broke the Guinness World | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Batman. | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
They smashed the previous record of 250 people kitted out | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
