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. | |

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. | |
