:00:15. > :00:22.Good morning. I am Jenny and you are alive with Newsround. First up, when
:00:23. > :00:26.was the last time you saw a hedgehog? Last week, last month,
:00:27. > :00:29.ever? Research carried out by the Suffolk wildlife trust has found out
:00:30. > :00:36.there has been a huge drop in the number of wild hedgehogs in the UK.
:00:37. > :00:40.Hedgehogs, they are cute and quickly but life in busy towns and cities
:00:41. > :00:45.can present a real dangers for our spiky friends. So, what is being
:00:46. > :00:52.done to help them? Sanctuaries like this one go to show the problems
:00:53. > :00:58.these little guys face. There are 80 to 90 hedgehogs here, all tucked up
:00:59. > :01:01.safe and warm. They come from various sources. They are usually
:01:02. > :01:07.found by people who bring them to us. We have abandoned babies, babies
:01:08. > :01:10.who have wandered off and got lost. Injuries threw streamers and
:01:11. > :01:15.netting, road accidents. We also have the sick ones that are found
:01:16. > :01:20.lying in people's gardens, obviously unwell. We try to get them up to
:01:21. > :01:23.weight as soon as possible and then we release them. 21-year-old Alison
:01:24. > :01:33.is the youngest hedgehog officer in the UK and it is her job to link up
:01:34. > :01:35.these areas of green space to give hedgehogs the chance to move around
:01:36. > :01:38.freely and safely when they come out at night to feed. We have got lots
:01:39. > :01:42.of great parks across the town but also lots of houses, fences and
:01:43. > :01:46.walls making it difficult for them to get between these great habitats,
:01:47. > :01:50.so we are trying to get volunteers on board who will manage their
:01:51. > :01:54.gardens for hedgehogs and hopefully persuade their neighbours to do the
:01:55. > :01:57.same so we have whole streets of connected gardens that hedgehogs
:01:58. > :02:03.will be able to easily navigate their way through. We have got a
:02:04. > :02:06.pole down here so they can get three -- a hole down here so they can get
:02:07. > :02:10.through to the other gardens. Ten-year-old Daisy is one of the
:02:11. > :02:14.many people across the UK doing their bit to help the hedgehogs. It
:02:15. > :02:18.is imported to take care of hedgehogs because they are
:02:19. > :02:24.endangered and I want them to be around when I am older. I've been
:02:25. > :02:29.making it somewhere that hedgehogs can come and live and stay and get
:02:30. > :02:35.some food and hibernate. For example, I have made some houses and
:02:36. > :02:40.I give them water and food and mealworms. Anyone my age that wants
:02:41. > :02:44.to do it, I'd say yes they can do it, because the more help that we
:02:45. > :02:50.have, the more hedgehogs they will be.
:02:51. > :02:56.Thanks for that, guys. Later today, this space probe is all set to land
:02:57. > :03:00.on the surface of Mars. If it lands well, it will be the European Space
:03:01. > :03:05.Agency's first successful landing on the red planet. The last attempt was
:03:06. > :03:11.when the Beagle two lander touched down but couldn't send back a signal
:03:12. > :03:20.13 years ago. If this works, experts believe this will be the greatest
:03:21. > :03:24.chance yet of finding life on Mars. This is the scab Morelli lander and
:03:25. > :03:29.it is on a mission to get to the surface of Mars. It has travelled
:03:30. > :03:35.500 million kilometres over seven months to get to the red planet. It
:03:36. > :03:40.is the first European probe in 13 years to give it a go. The last one
:03:41. > :03:51.was the Beagle two which lost contact when it landed in 2003.
:03:52. > :04:01.Scaparelli is a fancy name for a lander, right? It is named after an
:04:02. > :04:06.Italian astronomer. Something trickier than saying the word
:04:07. > :04:11.Scaparelli is landing on Mars. It has to travelled so fast in extreme
:04:12. > :04:16.heat and then it will use a parachute to slow down when it gets
:04:17. > :04:22.to the surface. After the landing, the satellite which took Scaparelli
:04:23. > :04:27.that before separating. The Mars's atmosphere. It will look for things
:04:28. > :04:32.like methane gas, which could give clues as to whether there is life on
:04:33. > :04:36.the red planet. Later this morning, we will speak to
:04:37. > :04:40.a space expert about this Mars mission and don't forget that there
:04:41. > :04:44.is lots more online including five man-made things that are already on
:04:45. > :04:48.Mars. And Leicester City are on the brink
:04:49. > :04:53.of making the Champions League knockout stages at the first
:04:54. > :04:57.attempt. They have had three group wins out of three. That is all from
:04:58. > :05:00.the team for now but we will be back at 8:15am. Goodbye.
