Jenny here, live with all the top stories this Monday.

:00:11.:00:16.

First up, a robot called Philae was dropped onto a comet in 2014

:00:17.:00:19.

and sent pictures back to earth but fell silent 60 hours later

:00:20.:00:24.

Scientists thought they'd lost it forever, but amazingly

:00:25.:00:31.

This picture from the European Space Agency comes from the Rosetta probe

:00:32.:00:36.

and shows Philae hiding, tucked into a ditch on the comet.

:00:37.:00:39.

You can find out loads more about this at Newsround online.

:00:40.:00:43.

Next up, great news for these cuddly creatures.

:00:44.:00:46.

Giant pandas are no longer an endangered species,

:00:47.:00:48.

meaning they're not at risk of dying out soon.

:00:49.:00:51.

I've been finding out how the giant panda has made its comeback.

:00:52.:00:56.

They're cute, they're cuddly and, most importantly,

:00:57.:00:59.

they've been brought back from the brink of extinction.

:01:00.:01:03.

Giant pandas live in the wild in China and need lots

:01:04.:01:06.

But with bamboo forests being cut down in China, panda numbers

:01:07.:01:12.

Conservationists thought if nothing was done to help the animals,

:01:13.:01:17.

So how did the animals make a come back?

:01:18.:01:24.

Areas where trees had been cut down were reforested, so more

:01:25.:01:26.

space for pandas to live in and for bamboo to grow.

:01:27.:01:30.

Forests were connected together so that pandas

:01:31.:01:37.

can roam around more, meet each other and create

:01:38.:01:39.

Working with local people to help protect the forests

:01:40.:01:42.

Creating more panda reserves which help look out for the animals.

:01:43.:01:47.

All this has meant, over ten years, panda numbers have gone up

:01:48.:01:51.

If the climate gets too hot for the bamboo to grow,

:01:52.:02:01.

there could be more difficult times for the creatures.

:02:02.:02:04.

There's still only about 2,000 of them left in the wild and that's

:02:05.:02:07.

But it's such a good increase, and as long as we continue

:02:08.:02:11.

to protect the forest then there's a really good chance that,

:02:12.:02:13.

going forward, we'll have even more pandas than we do at the moment.

:02:14.:02:16.

At least 1,000 people have been evacuated from villas

:02:17.:02:20.

It's after a forest fire spread to popular holiday

:02:21.:02:24.

Those evacuated were moved to nearby schools, restaurants or hostels.

:02:25.:02:35.

Moving on, he won a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics in London,

:02:36.:02:38.

now he can add a silver medal from the Rio Olympic

:02:39.:02:41.

art, and we're lucky enough to have him in the studio now!

:02:54.:02:56.

Firstly, congratulations on your silver medal!

:02:57.:02:58.

you are so much. And thank you so much.

:02:59.:03:04.

You were three years old when you started doing tae kwon do.

:03:05.:03:10.

My dad was an instructor so I didn't have much choice about what sport to

:03:11.:03:13.

go into but I am so grateful! How did you go from that

:03:14.:03:17.

to Olympic medalist? It was just me and my dad until 2011

:03:18.:03:27.

when I made Team GB and you later at the 2012 Olympics I got bronze and

:03:28.:03:32.

now I have the silver medal and I am very grateful.

:03:33.:03:33.

You narrowly missed out on a gold medal in Rio.

:03:34.:03:39.

It was devastating at the time but now I can reflect on it I am super

:03:40.:03:48.

happy that I am on Olympic silver medallist and I will complete the

:03:49.:03:49.

set in Tokyo. What might Newsround viewers not

:03:50.:03:50.

know about you? I am actually a bit of a bookworm. I

:03:51.:03:55.

loved Notes and Crosses. My fellow reporter Ricky said

:03:56.:04:05.

he caught up with you in Rio and I hear that you're a Newsround

:04:06.:04:08.

fan so I've got a present for you - Because you asked so nicely! This is

:04:09.:04:34.

a jumping front kick, one of the highest kicks in tae kwon do.

:04:35.:04:43.

Amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you so much for having me.

:04:44.:04:46.

That's all from the team today, but set your alarm clocks

:04:47.:04:48.

because I'll be back at 7.20 for your morning Newsround.
