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