You're in the right place for all of Wednesday's top stories.

:00:00.:00:00.

The "fire" Volcano in Mexico erupts again.

:00:00.:00:12.

And a campaign to save British hedgehogs.

:00:13.:00:24.

Yesterday, we told you about how a famous animal park is

:00:25.:00:28.

planning to make changes to their killer whale displays

:00:29.:00:31.

SeaWorld has said they will phase out entertainment shows

:00:32.:00:36.

at their site in San Diego to concentrate on showing

:00:37.:00:40.

The decision by SeaWorld comes after years of pressure from campaigners

:00:41.:00:45.

who say making the animals perform for people is cruel.

:00:46.:00:49.

One person who agrees with that is CBBC wildlife presenter, Steve

:00:50.:00:52.

Orca are the world's largest species of dolphin, and as you'd expect,

:00:53.:01:03.

they have a very big brain, they are very intelligent,

:01:04.:01:05.

they are really social with the other members of their pod, which

:01:06.:01:08.

usually are members of their own family.

:01:09.:01:10.

It has also been shown that they will grieve their dead

:01:11.:01:13.

and they will grieve when their calves are removed away from

:01:14.:01:15.

And this is a creature which can travel 100 miles in a day,

:01:16.:01:20.

like swimming from London to Birmingham, every single day.

:01:21.:01:24.

So if you were to take an orca and stick it into, essentially, a

:01:25.:01:27.

large swimming pool, I think it would be

:01:28.:01:29.

bedroom for the whole of the rest of our live with one single song in the

:01:30.:01:35.

bedroom for the whole of the rest of our lives with one single song in

:01:36.:01:39.

background being played on loop over and over again,

:01:40.:01:41.

never able to communicate with other members of our friends and family.

:01:42.:01:44.

I don't think this one species should be kept in captivity.

:01:45.:01:47.

SeaWorld say they look after the animals well

:01:48.:01:49.

Next, today is Armistice Day - and at 11 o'clock

:01:50.:02:13.

a two minute silence will be held across the country to remember those

:02:14.:02:17.

It starts at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month -

:02:18.:02:22.

the time in 1918 when the guns finally fell silent along the

:02:23.:02:25.

Western Front in World War I and an armistice, or peace, was declared.

:02:26.:02:30.

People across the country will be marking the event, and we asked some

:02:31.:02:33.

of you what you'll be thinking about at 11 o'clock today.

:02:34.:02:37.

I will be thinking about my grandad and many of the

:02:38.:02:41.

soldiers who fought in the war and risked their lives to save us.

:02:42.:02:45.

I will be thinking about the people who died for us so we can be

:02:46.:02:48.

I will be thinking about all those soldiers and people that have

:02:49.:02:55.

To me, it means that I am being very respectful to the people

:02:56.:03:02.

It makes me feel proud of my country and people who suffered for us.

:03:03.:03:14.

I will be thinking of the people that risk their lives for our lives,

:03:15.:03:18.

It makes me feel grateful, and I need to respect it.

:03:19.:03:26.

I will be thinking about this poppy because it

:03:27.:03:28.

represents Flanders Field, which was the first poppy to be grown,

:03:29.:03:33.

We want to know if you are remembering anyone today.

:03:34.:03:50.

A volcano in Mexico has erupted for the third time in a week,

:03:51.:03:54.

sending a column of smoke thousands of metres into the sky.

:03:55.:03:56.

The Colima volcano in the south-west of Mexico has been showing signs

:03:57.:03:59.

Over the past months, nearby villages have been blanketed with

:04:00.:04:02.

thick coats of ash but no evacuation was needed for Wednesday's eruption.

:04:03.:04:07.

Next, should we have a national animal in Britian?

:04:08.:04:10.

In Russia they have the bear and in Australia it's the kangaroo .

:04:11.:04:14.

So should the humble hegdehog become the symbol for the UK?

:04:15.:04:19.

Well, Conservative MP Oliver Colville thinks so.

:04:20.:04:22.

He wants there to be vote on which animal should represent us,

:04:23.:04:25.

He thinks it could help save the species, whose numbers have

:04:26.:04:29.

fallen by more than a third over the last decade, with fewer than

:04:30.:04:33.

Finally - it's been a busy few weeks for these guys.

:04:34.:04:40.

They're are all dressed up as Father Christmas.

:04:41.:04:41.

These men have just graduated from Santa School in Brazil.

:04:42.:04:44.

The school prepares them for a very busy December which will see many

:04:45.:04:47.

of them working in shopping centres - spreading the Christmas joy!

:04:48.:04:54.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.

:04:55.:05:00.
