Jenny here with everything you need to know about spiders

:00:11.:00:13.

How to get a face inside one of the world's rarest gems.

:00:14.:00:17.

But first to the fight to protect animals across the globe

:00:18.:00:20.

as a top charity say wildlife populations are falling fast.

:00:21.:00:25.

A new report by the World Wildlife Fund says the numbers of mammals,

:00:26.:00:29.

birds, reptiles and fish more than halved between 1970 and 2010.

:00:30.:00:33.

Experts believe the drop in numbers is due to hunting, pollution,

:00:34.:00:37.

climate change and the destruction of where the animals live.

:00:38.:00:41.

Next to Hong Kong in Asia, where massive protests have

:00:42.:00:49.

continued overnight, with thousands of demonstrators

:00:50.:00:51.

They want more freedom to decide who is in charge.

:00:52.:01:00.

China currently runs Hong Kong, and has said they'll provide

:01:01.:01:03.

a list of leaders they approve of for people to vote on.

:01:04.:01:06.

But the protestors say they should be able to choose whoever they want.

:01:07.:01:09.

The BBC's Martin Patience has been on the streets this morning.

:01:10.:01:15.

Another day, and yet more protesters here in the heart of Hong Kong's

:01:16.:01:22.

financial district. What this issue boils down to is the protesters want

:01:23.:01:27.

what they see is a free and fair election to elect Hong Kong's next

:01:28.:01:34.

Chief Executive in 2017. Beijing says, look, everybody in Hong Kong

:01:35.:01:37.

will get the vote, but the protesters say that Beijing will

:01:38.:01:42.

screen the candidate, so that is no real choice. So you have this

:01:43.:01:47.

extraordinary stand-off between the protesters and the authorities in

:01:48.:01:54.

and Hong Kong, and the longer this goes on, the pressure will build on

:01:55.:02:01.

Beijing to clear the streets, because the worry is that people in

:02:02.:02:04.

mainland China will see the protests and it will inspire them.

:02:05.:02:08.

if you're scared of spiders, then look away now, because it's

:02:09.:02:11.

They're growing fat on flies and big on bugs.

:02:12.:02:15.

2014 has been a bumper year for these guys.

:02:16.:02:18.

Spiders. Love them or hate them, they are taking over the world. They

:02:19.:02:29.

even took over this news bulletin. Maybe that is going a bit too far.

:02:30.:02:34.

But experts have said that a mild autumn is leading to a good spider

:02:35.:02:39.

season. Is a great time for spiders at the moment. The population

:02:40.:02:44.

probably isn't increasing, they are just out and about more. There are

:02:45.:02:48.

lots of insects around for them to eat. Loads of you have been in touch

:02:49.:02:53.

telling us your spider stories. Julia from Hereford says, every

:02:54.:02:57.

morning I see a huge spider in the bar, nearly as big as my palm.

:02:58.:03:16.

Many of you have been wondering how to deal with the spiders, so these

:03:17.:03:21.

kids from Bristol are looking for answers. There are kind of spiders

:03:22.:03:26.

who prefer to live indoors, especially when it gets cold

:03:27.:03:32.

outdoors. Most spiders prefer to live outside. What do they eat? Most

:03:33.:03:40.

of them eat meat, so they will beat flies, wasps and things. This is a

:03:41.:03:47.

daddy-longlegs spider. You quite often see these up near the

:03:48.:03:53.

ceilings, I have loads in my house. This one is nice because she is

:03:54.:03:57.

carrying an egg sac as well, that white blob. She has all her eggs

:03:58.:04:02.

wrapped up in silk, and she is carrying them around. There have

:04:03.:04:05.

been reports of the biting. Should we be worried? It is extremely rare

:04:06.:04:11.

for spiders to bite. Very few British spiders are even big enough

:04:12.:04:17.

to bite through human skin, and even if you do get bitten, it is just

:04:18.:04:22.

like a nettle sting. So if you spot a spider, don't fear, just tell a

:04:23.:04:27.

grown-up who can help you take the spider out. And to find out more

:04:28.:04:31.

about healing the spider safely, head over to the website! Get it?

:04:32.:04:36.

Finally - have you ever wondered how to get a picture

:04:37.:04:38.

Of course not. But just in case...

:04:39.:04:41.

This is the latest masterpiece from Chinese artist Wallace Chan.

:04:42.:04:46.

He burned the face of a Greek goddess into the middle

:04:47.:04:49.

of this purple sapphire using a special laser.

:04:50.:04:52.

His fans include royalty and Hollywood superstars.

:04:53.:04:55.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at 8.15.
