0:00:03 > 0:00:04Afternoon, Newsrounders.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07You're live with me Martin and some of this on the way.

0:00:07 > 0:00:12How to save a Tasmanian devil from extinction.

0:00:12 > 0:00:16Plus why popstar Adele is wearing a disguise.

0:00:33 > 0:00:33But first to the latest on what's been happening in France's

0:00:36 > 0:00:37capital city, Paris.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39It's a week since a series of attacks there.

0:00:39 > 0:00:41They were carried out by the extremist group Islamic State

0:00:41 > 0:00:44and today world leaders meeting at the United Nations have agreed

0:00:44 > 0:00:47a plan to try do everything possible to stop further attacks.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Now loads of you have sent us questions this

0:00:48 > 0:00:52week asking about what happened in Paris and what it all means.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54So I took them to the BBC's expert on this subject, security

0:00:54 > 0:00:55correspondent, Frank Gardner.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58So, first off, Aditya and Jessica and actually a lot of other people

0:00:58 > 0:01:03are asking why did Islamic State want to attack France?

0:01:03 > 0:01:06The answer that so-called Islamic State have given is that

0:01:06 > 0:01:10it's in retaliation, in revenge, for the French bombing

0:01:10 > 0:01:14of their positions in Syria.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18But the French are doing that to try and protect the local population.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Cara, who's eight, says, what are the soldiers and policemen doing

0:01:21 > 0:01:25to keep the people in Paris safe?

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Cara, I think the main point of the soldiers and police

0:01:28 > 0:01:33on the streets is to try and reassure the public, but also to

0:01:33 > 0:01:40put off any terrorists who might think of maybe attacking again.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42And when they see the police with guns, hopefully,

0:01:42 > 0:01:45they won't want to attack.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47That's the main purpose of it.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51So Victoria, who's 10, says, is it likely that the UK will get attacked

0:01:51 > 0:01:54and if so, are we prepared for it?

0:01:54 > 0:01:57That's something Liam, Hazel, Tana and lots of other kids have

0:01:57 > 0:02:00been asking as well.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02There have been a number of attempted attacks, people trying

0:02:02 > 0:02:04to do attacks in this country.

0:02:04 > 0:02:09Nothing like as big or horrific as Paris, but smaller and still

0:02:09 > 0:02:14nasty attacks which the police and the spies have been able to stop.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17But they say sooner or later there is a chance that

0:02:17 > 0:02:19something might get through.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21What I would say is this, though.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24The chances of you or me or any of your friends being caught up

0:02:24 > 0:02:26in it are very, very small.

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Tiny, in fact.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Yes, there is a high chance there will be an attack somewhere

0:02:31 > 0:02:33in Britain of some sort.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Probably quite small, but the chances of you being caught

0:02:35 > 0:02:39up in it or involved in it are very, very small indeed

0:02:39 > 0:02:42so don't change your way of life.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45You can see Frank answering more questions on the Newsround website

0:02:45 > 0:02:48and there's lots more on what's happening in Paris.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Plus help and advice if anything in the news upsets you.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Now, the Premier League is back following the international break

0:02:55 > 0:02:59and, in the early kick-off, Watford are taking on Manchester United with

0:02:59 > 0:03:02the score currently 1-0 to Man U.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Later today, all eyes will be on the match

0:03:04 > 0:03:07between Liverpool and Manchester City, when ex-Liverpool striker

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Raheem Sterling comes up against his old club for the first time

0:03:10 > 0:03:14since leaving them in the summer.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17I always think there is a pressure for the player to play against, not

0:03:17 > 0:03:22only for Raheem, for every player to play a team they were at a lot

0:03:22 > 0:03:28of years and maybe for James Milner it would be exactly the same.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32It's part of the career of the player, another defending,

0:03:32 > 0:03:34another shirt.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37Now to a special wildlife project to try and save one

0:03:37 > 0:03:38of the world's most famous animals.

0:03:38 > 0:03:41Tasmanian Devils live on an island off the coast of Australia but it's

0:03:41 > 0:03:47taken lots of hard work to try and keep them from going extinct.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49The Tasmanian devil.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52It can grow as long as 76 centimetres.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54But they are under threat from a deadly cancer that has

0:03:54 > 0:03:57threatened them with extinction.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59The disease has caused the population of devils to crash

0:03:59 > 0:04:04to 10,000 from an estimated 250,000 when the disease was first

0:04:04 > 0:04:07discovered nearly 20 years ago.

0:04:07 > 0:04:12What happens is, it's transferred simply by touch, so the devil's

0:04:12 > 0:04:16natural feeding behaviour and mating behaviour, whenever they

0:04:16 > 0:04:20come into contact with each other, this disease can be transmitted,

0:04:20 > 0:04:23and, thus the rapid decline.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26It is a very nasty disease.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27After three months, we see symptoms.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31After six months, those devils are gone.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33But there is hope.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36A group of 22 disease-free captive creatures have been flown 250

0:04:36 > 0:04:43kilometres from Sydney to their natural habitat in Tasmania.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45They were then released into bushland,

0:04:45 > 0:04:49surrounded by fencing to help protect them from any wild Tasmanian

0:04:49 > 0:04:52devils infected with the disease.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55The project currently has 180 Tasmanian devils in the programme,

0:04:55 > 0:05:01making it the largest captive population in Australia.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03It's hoped if this first reintroduction is

0:05:03 > 0:05:06successful, more of these endangered animals can be released to help save

0:05:06 > 0:05:10the future of the species.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12Now, finally, the singer Adele has auditioned as herself

0:05:12 > 0:05:15for a special BBC programme.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Everyone else there thought they were competing in an Adele

0:05:18 > 0:05:22sing-a-like contest but the star herself donned

0:05:22 > 0:05:25a disguise and pretended her name was Jenny to take part.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29It was all for a special show about her.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31And it didn't take long for the other contestants to work

0:05:31 > 0:05:33out what was going on.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37# When the rain is blowing in your face

0:05:37 > 0:05:43# And the whole world is... #

0:05:43 > 0:05:47You are joking me?

0:05:47 > 0:05:52# I could offer you a warm embrace... #

0:05:52 > 0:05:54That's it for today.

0:05:54 > 0:05:55We're back tomorrow at 10.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Bye!
