:00:00. > :00:00.Happy Friday, I'm Jenny, you are live with CBBC,
:00:00. > :00:10.and we've got loads of great stuff on the way, so don't go anywhere...
:00:11. > :00:12.Lightning flashes and boiling lava explode from a Japanese volcano,
:00:13. > :00:28.and The sea-lion that popped into a US restaurant for dinner.
:00:29. > :00:31.First - take a look at this spectacular picture of lightning
:00:32. > :00:35.flashes as a powerful volcano erupted in Japan.
:00:36. > :00:40.The Sakurajima volcano on the island of Kyushu regularly explodes,
:00:41. > :00:58.In the latest fiery blast, the volcano has blasted thick ash into
:00:59. > :01:03.the sky. Local people have not had to move from their homes, and no one
:01:04. > :01:10.was hurt. The volcano is one of the biggest tourist attractions. But the
:01:11. > :01:18.latest volcano eruption means that no one can go up the mountain. The
:01:19. > :01:22.last eruption was in 2013. No one was injured.
:01:23. > :01:24.And go online to see our guide to what causes volcanoes,
:01:25. > :01:29.There are loads of interesting facts to read and some great pictures too.
:01:30. > :01:39.How do you protect trees are in danger of disappearing? You collect
:01:40. > :01:44.seeds. The monkey puzzle tree is under threat. Hayley has more.
:01:45. > :01:51.These are the unmistakable prickles of the monkey puzzle tree. In the
:01:52. > :01:53.wild, they are in real danger of dying out. Conservationists are
:01:54. > :02:01.working hard to make sure they survived. Back in 2009, the team
:02:02. > :02:06.went to Chile in South America to collect seeds from the last Mullaney
:02:07. > :02:10.-- remaining cluster of monkey puzzle trees. Six months on, they
:02:11. > :02:15.look like this. You will see a route coming out of the bottom within a
:02:16. > :02:20.couple of weeks. Within six months or so, you will see issue coming out
:02:21. > :02:24.of the top. A tiny, spiky sheet. It takes in six years to get to this
:02:25. > :02:29.stage in their lives, but these have done amazingly well. It could be a
:02:30. > :02:34.prehistoric landscape. Monkey puzzle tree 's date back 200 million years
:02:35. > :02:40.to the dinosaur times. These conifers, apart from being poor
:02:41. > :02:44.quality fodder, grow to 130 feet in height. Along with the monkey puzzle
:02:45. > :02:50.tree seeds, thousands of others were also collected in Chile. They were
:02:51. > :03:01.brought back to the millennium seed bank at Wakehurst. They were put
:03:02. > :03:04.into jars and put into huge... In the next few years, it is hoped that
:03:05. > :03:10.a forest landscape like those in Chile can be recreated here on the
:03:11. > :03:18.slopes of Sussex. These trees in Chile are under threat for all sorts
:03:19. > :03:23.of reasons. Collecting the seeds, and having this scientific
:03:24. > :03:29.collection will help to protect the futures of these trees for
:03:30. > :03:33.generations to come. Luckily, they are tough, strong trees that can
:03:34. > :03:35.tolerate snow, rain and wind, which are all is -- all very common in the
:03:36. > :03:41.UK. Prince Harry has thanked
:03:42. > :03:43.the soldiers who helped to rescue children and their families
:03:44. > :03:46.from their flooded homes just before He told them that hundreds
:03:47. > :03:49.of people across Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cumbria
:03:50. > :03:50.were very grateful. And chatted and laughed with dozens
:03:51. > :03:54.of children who came out to see him. A new home is being built
:03:55. > :03:56.at Edinburgh Zoo, in Scotland, for two rare red pandas,
:03:57. > :03:58.like these ones. There are already two
:03:59. > :04:00.of the endangered species living here at the Highland Wildlife Park,
:04:01. > :04:03.but now two new creatures will arrive in Edinburgh
:04:04. > :04:05.later this year. It's hoped their new home
:04:06. > :04:08.will help them breed. A hungry sea lion has been
:04:09. > :04:11.rescued in San Diego, in California, after he was found
:04:12. > :04:14.sitting, wait for it, Workers found the pup chilling
:04:15. > :04:22.in a booth and called the Sea World He was treated to a big meal
:04:23. > :04:26.and is now safe. You'll love this snow and ice
:04:27. > :04:28.festival, that's opened in Northern This ten metre tall model
:04:29. > :04:34.of a high speed train is one Organisers hope more
:04:35. > :04:37.than two million people will visit from all over the country,
:04:38. > :04:52.and abroad, to see the sculptures. That is all from the team today. I
:04:53. > :04:53.am back tomorrow on the six Nations and the flying Scotsman train. Have
:04:54. > :04:56.a lovely evening.
