Good morning, I'm Hayley with Tuesday's Newsround for you.

0:00:030:00:06

We've got lots for you including...

0:00:060:00:10

The eagles helping the police to catch drones.

0:00:100:00:13

And the twin seals making history.

0:00:130:00:16

Today is International Women's Day.

0:00:260:00:28

A global day celebrating the achievements of women and girls

0:00:280:00:32

in lots of different fields, from politics to sports

0:00:320:00:33

and everything in between.

0:00:360:00:37

It is also a day which aims to promote equality,

0:00:370:00:40

which means that women and girls are equal to men and boys.

0:00:400:00:44

So, to mark International Women's Day we've had a closer look

0:00:440:00:47

at a handful of inspirational women who are working

0:00:470:00:51

to make a difference.

0:00:510:00:54

Women and girls are equal to men and boys and as such should

0:00:540:00:58

be treated equally.

0:00:580:01:00

That's the message on International Women's Day.

0:01:000:01:03

That's what Malala Yousafzai believes too.

0:01:030:01:06

The fearless schoolgirl demanded that girls be allowed

0:01:060:01:09

to receive an education.

0:01:090:01:10

It is something that wasn't happening in the area of Pakistan

0:01:100:01:14

where she lived.

0:01:140:01:15

Malala was badly hurt for standing up for her beliefs.

0:01:150:01:18

She survived her attack and is now spreading her message about girls

0:01:180:01:22

and children getting equal rights to education all over the world.

0:01:220:01:26

She's an inspiration!

0:01:260:01:28

One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can

0:01:280:01:36

change the world.

0:01:360:01:39

Everyone knows Hermione Granger from Harry Potter.

0:01:390:01:41

Hermione is a character that lots of girls look up

0:01:410:01:44

to because she's sassy, strong and smart.

0:01:440:01:47

The actress who plays her, Emma Watson, is pretty cool too.

0:01:470:01:49

Recently she announced that she's taking a year away from acting

0:01:490:01:54

to learn more about issues which affect women and girls,

0:01:540:01:56

including persuading more men to get involved in the fight

0:01:560:01:59

for equal rights.

0:01:590:02:01

Good luck, Emma.

0:02:010:02:03

All I know is that I care about this problem and I want

0:02:030:02:06

to make it better.

0:02:060:02:09

Finally, there are lots of super successful sporting girls

0:02:090:02:12

who inspire us.

0:02:120:02:13

Olympic gold medal winners like Jessica Ennis-Hill

0:02:130:02:16

and Victoria Pendleton have encouraged lots of us girls to get

0:02:160:02:19

more involved in sport.

0:02:190:02:21

We have to be confident, we have to go in to each game

0:02:210:02:24

thinking we can win.

0:02:240:02:25

Successful footballers, like England captain Steph Houghton,

0:02:250:02:28

have inspired girls to practice their dribbling skills by getting

0:02:280:02:31

in to football, to prove that they are just as good

0:02:310:02:34

as the boys.

0:02:340:02:35

Hopefully, these wonderful women will inspire you too.

0:02:350:02:41

We want to know which women inspire you.

0:02:410:02:43

Go online and let us know.

0:02:430:02:49

To tennis now and one of the biggest names in the sport Maria Sharapova

0:02:490:02:54

has admitted that she failed a drugs test at the Australian Open in

0:02:540:02:57

January.

0:02:570:02:59

The former world number one said that she had been taking

0:02:590:03:02

the medication for her health reasons.

0:03:020:03:05

The drug called meldonium was added to the banned list in January.

0:03:050:03:09

She's been suspended from the sport starting from Saturday.

0:03:090:03:15

I've made a huge mistake, and I, I've let my fans down,

0:03:150:03:19

I've let the sport down that I've been playing since the age of four,

0:03:190:03:25

that I love so deeply.

0:03:250:03:29

Next up, drones are a popular piece of tech but they're also being used

0:03:290:03:32

by criminals.

0:03:320:03:34

But police in the Netherlands have got a novel

0:03:340:03:36

idea to try and tackle the problem.

0:03:360:03:39

They're training eagles to take the drones down.

0:03:390:03:43

Its instinct is to catch the prey.

0:03:430:03:44

It is not interested in people, it is not

0:03:440:03:48

interested in other animals.

0:03:480:03:49

It's interested only in catching the drone.

0:03:490:03:52

And also they are able to land the drone safely on the ground

0:03:520:03:55

and that is where we want it.

0:03:550:03:59

Meet R2-D2 and C-3PO.

0:03:590:04:02

Two little seal pups who are the first of their kind

0:04:020:04:05

in the world.

0:04:050:04:07

The two seal pups were born twins,

0:04:070:04:09

so both from the same mum at the same time.

0:04:090:04:12

It was thought that grey seals couldn't have twin babies but these

0:04:120:04:15

fellas, being looked after in a sanctuary in Norfolk,

0:04:150:04:19

have proved all the scientists wrong.

0:04:190:04:22

We contacted various institutions in the country,

0:04:220:04:25

and it was absolutely impossible, twin seals could never

0:04:250:04:28

be born to a grey seal.

0:04:280:04:30

So I sent their details up to Norway, and Norway

0:04:300:04:33

have come back with this wonderful news that they are in fact

0:04:330:04:36

twin seals and we are absolutely delighted.

0:04:360:04:41

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here on CBBC at 8:15am

0:04:470:04:50
