Good morning - Ricky here with your Monday Newsround live on CBBC.

0:00:120:00:18

First - if you're having eggs for your breakfast,

0:00:180:00:20

do you know where they come from?

0:00:200:00:21

The big supermarket Tesco is going to stop selling eggs

0:00:220:00:24

from hens that live in cages.

0:00:240:00:25

It's after 14-year-old Lucy campaigned for them them to stop.

0:00:250:00:28

Naz caught up with Lucy to find out more.

0:00:280:00:33

Nearly half of all eggs on our supermarket shelves

0:00:330:00:36

come from caged hens.

0:00:360:00:39

That means the hens have small spaces -

0:00:390:00:41

giving them little room to move.

0:00:410:00:45

Many think this is not good for the hens' welfare and they should be

0:00:450:00:49

roaming freely outside.

0:00:490:00:50

Meet 14-year-old Lucy - she felt so strongly about the issue

0:00:500:00:52

she did something about it.

0:00:520:01:01

I found that a lot of hens are housed in cages or barns,

0:01:010:01:07

so from there I wrote to supermarkets and some politicians

0:01:070:01:09

to try and change what happens.

0:01:090:01:12

I didn't get the best response so instead I started looking

0:01:120:01:15

to doing a petition.

0:01:150:01:18

I never expected to get so many signatures but within five months

0:01:180:01:22

we got to raise 280,000 signatures, so I went to a meeting with Tesco

0:01:220:01:25

and I met the head of agriculture, and when I was there I didn't get

0:01:250:01:29

the sense they were planning to change, but clearly something

0:01:290:01:31

made a difference to them, and now they've said

0:01:310:01:33

that they will stop selling caged eggs by 2025.

0:01:330:01:43

I think it is quite a long way in the future, but I just think that

0:01:430:01:47

means it will be done properly and that will give me more chance

0:01:470:01:50

to prepare for it and work with other supermarkets.

0:01:500:01:53

For years animal charities like the RSPCA have tried to stop

0:01:530:01:55

supermarkets from selling them too.

0:01:550:01:56

I think if Tesco's announcement can encourage other retailers to do

0:01:560:01:59

the same, then in 2025 we might not be able to buy any caged eggs

0:01:590:02:03

in supermarkets, and that can only be a really positive

0:02:030:02:05

thing for hen welfare.

0:02:050:02:07

Lucy hopes she can get more supermarkets to change their minds -

0:02:070:02:10

and go that egg-stra mile and take eggs from caged hens

0:02:100:02:13

off their shelves too.

0:02:130:02:15

And the new big family film the BFG had it's first showing yesterday.

0:02:150:02:18

The stars turned out but all the talk was about 11-year-old

0:02:180:02:20

Ruby Barnhill who plays Sophie.

0:02:200:02:24

Nobody would listen to me anyway - I'm an untrustworthy child!

0:02:240:02:31

We basically went to schools and put ads in papers.

0:02:310:02:33

We were all over the UK and it was really important to me

0:02:330:02:37

to honour Roald Dahl and his intentions in first

0:02:370:02:39

writing the story of Sophie, that she be English.

0:02:390:02:44

So I was really hoping that she would

0:02:440:02:47

come from the UK, and we found her in Manchester.

0:02:470:02:54

Next, boys are more likely than girls to struggle

0:02:540:02:56

with their speaking skills when they start primary school,

0:02:560:02:58

according to some experts.

0:02:580:02:59

Their research suggests thousands of boys in England started

0:02:590:03:02

Reception Class last year without being able to speak a full

0:03:020:03:04

sentence or follow simple instructions from a teacher.

0:03:040:03:06

The Government say they are putting more money into helping

0:03:060:03:09

young children.

0:03:090:03:12

In the last hour, Nasa has launched a rocket carrying supplies

0:03:120:03:15

for the International Space Station.

0:03:150:03:16

There she goes...

0:03:160:03:19

The SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft is carrying a British machine

0:03:190:03:22

which will analyse DNA in space for the first time.

0:03:220:03:25

DNA is what gives us our eye and hair colour and other

0:03:250:03:28

characteristics from our parents.

0:03:280:03:36

Now, Malala Yousafzai - the schoolgirl who was shot

0:03:360:03:38

by the extremist group the Taliban on her way home from school

0:03:380:03:41

in Pakistan - has just celebrated her 19th birthday.

0:03:410:03:43

For years she's campaigned for girls all over the world to be

0:03:430:03:46

allowed to go to school.

0:03:460:03:50

Well, unlike most teens, for her birthday she decided

0:03:500:03:53

to visit one of the world's largest refugee camps in Kenya.

0:03:530:03:56

For these girls who live in the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya,

0:03:560:03:58

this is the only place they can go to school.

0:03:580:04:04

The 340,000 refugees who live here are escaping war,

0:04:080:04:10

and have moved here to feel safe.

0:04:100:04:20

-- The 340 refugees who live here are escaping war,

0:04:200:04:23

and have moved here to feel safe.

0:04:230:04:24

I saw many girls here today and they were saying that

0:04:240:04:27

even though they are in a refugee camp, at least they are going

0:04:270:04:30

to school and getting education.

0:04:300:04:31

They are really happy here.

0:04:310:04:41

It means great happiness for me because I met with a great

0:04:480:04:50

champion girl who is very brave and strong and know

0:04:500:04:52

what education is, and the importance of education.

0:04:520:04:54

Earlier this year the government in Kenya said it would close

0:04:540:04:57

down this refugee camp.

0:04:570:04:58

They say it is not safe and want to send some of

0:04:580:05:01

the families back home to Somalia.

0:05:010:05:02

Education is a need for them.

0:05:020:05:04

They want to learn, and closing down this camp and not arranging

0:05:040:05:07

an alternative for them, not arranging separate schools

0:05:070:05:09

for them in Somalia or here, that would put their lives at risk.

0:05:090:05:12

They would not be able to follow their dreams

0:05:120:05:14

and achieve their dreams.

0:05:140:05:23

She hopes her visit will help persuade the government in Kenya

0:05:230:05:25

to allow these girls to carry on getting the education

0:05:250:05:28

they deserve.

0:05:280:05:29

Tennis now, and Andy Murray wasn't there but Great Britain have

0:05:290:05:31

another hero in this guy - Kyle Edmund - after he helped

0:05:310:05:34

them into yet another Davis Cup semi-final.

0:05:340:05:40

He won both his singles matches meaning Great Britain beat Serbia

0:05:400:05:43

and will now play Argentina.

0:05:430:05:45

So Team GB are still on track to retain the trophy.

0:05:450:05:49

That's all from me - Newsround's back in
