:01:02. > :01:05.I have got one brother and four sisters.

:01:06. > :01:08.We found that their lives were very different to ours.

:01:09. > :01:11.They told us that, when they go to school, they say goodbye

:01:12. > :01:13.to their mothers as if they are never

:01:14. > :01:18.They keep having to move home and school and do not have proper

:01:19. > :01:21.I have changed three houses in different places.

:01:22. > :01:25.Despite those differences, we are all teenagers.

:01:26. > :01:29.Before we started, we were talking about Adele, as well.

:01:30. > :01:48.Meeting the teenagers in Syria has left us wanting to do to find out

:01:49. > :01:50.more about what the British government is doing to help children

:01:51. > :01:54.So, we have come to the Department for International

:01:55. > :02:00.Development in Whitehall, to find out more.

:02:01. > :02:08.The fact that we are raising money for aid is great,

:02:09. > :02:09.but how would raising money for aid have

:02:10. > :02:12.an impact if, at the same time, we are bombing Syria?

:02:13. > :02:15.The military action we are involved with is trying to tackle

:02:16. > :02:18.We really have to make sure we finish off this job.

:02:19. > :02:22.Our ambition is to ensure that every childin Syria is back in school

:02:23. > :02:24.by the end of the next academic year.

:02:25. > :02:27.One of the major problems at the moment is the refugee crisis.

:02:28. > :02:30.What would you say to people to people who have concerns

:02:31. > :02:34.I think we should be really proud of all the work

:02:35. > :02:37.It is fantastic that young people around Britain,

:02:38. > :02:40.like you, are passionate about what we can do to help

:02:41. > :02:53.It was great to put our questions to someone in power.

:02:54. > :03:05.However, it does make me feel sad to think of our friends and Syria. But

:03:06. > :03:08.we do have some hope for the future. A new study has found that hedgehogs

:03:09. > :03:12.might soon be extinct in Britain. It is thought that the number

:03:13. > :03:14.of hedgehogs decreases Hayley has been looking at what one

:03:15. > :03:18.park in London is doing to help Hedgehogs are animals that come out

:03:19. > :03:22.at night and like to live in gardens and parks,

:03:23. > :03:24.where they can find food, But thanks to more roads being built

:03:25. > :03:29.and more gardens being covered over, the habitats that hedgehogs need

:03:30. > :03:45.to thrive are disappearing and so, There are a number of reasons why

:03:46. > :03:57.the numbers have been declining. The arrays banning priest use of

:03:58. > :03:58.pesticides. There are also less foraging pleasers for hedgehogs to

:03:59. > :04:02.go. It is thought that, over the past

:04:03. > :04:05.ten years, almost one-third of all our hedgehogs have

:04:06. > :04:07.disappeared from Britain. And thanks to a recent survey

:04:08. > :04:09.from charity Hedgehog Street, we know that they have almost

:04:10. > :04:11.disappeared completely But there is one park

:04:12. > :04:16.in Central London where the hedgehogs are surviving,

:04:17. > :04:18.thanks to volunteers and rangers, who are keeping

:04:19. > :04:35.the park hedgehog-friendly. Every few feet, we have made a hall

:04:36. > :04:41.for them to get through so they can move between the two alias. It

:04:42. > :04:48.expands the amount of habitat they have got. Anything we can do to give

:04:49. > :04:55.him a better chance to find food is better and places to invest will

:04:56. > :04:57.hopefully in the long-term, keep the number is growing.

:04:58. > :05:00.So far, hedgehog numbers in Regents Park are on the up,

:05:01. > :05:03.but it is thought that, if more building over green land

:05:04. > :05:05.takes place, that Britain's hedgehogs might be threatened

:05:06. > :05:09.Now, can you understand your kitty when it makes this noise?

:05:19. > :05:20.and purrings to help us communicate with our cats.

:05:21. > :05:23.Moggies meow more at humans then they do to each other

:05:24. > :05:25.and specialists at Lund University in Sweden are testing the different

:05:26. > :05:34.They hope to be able to understand the feline language by 2021.
