Hi guys. Welcome along, this is Newsround coming right at your face, | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
live right after 5pm. It is Ore and Hayley here. We have packed the | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
next eight minutes full of everything you need to know. Your | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
views have flooded in all day ahead of tomorrow's teachers' strike. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
Stay tunes to find out what that looks like on this poor hawk's face. | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
But before any of that, we are talking about the award that sport | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
stars up and down the country dream of winning. It's the BBC Sports | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
Personality of the Year award. top ten have been revealed. They | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
include the biggest names in sport such as Andy Murray and Rory | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
McIlroy. For the first time in five years it does not include any women. | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
Some people say that is not fair. Others say it is just a reflection | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
of the sporting year. I have been speaking to one of the people who | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
voted for the short list. Women have not reached as high a standard | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
as men in this country. That is -- I don't understand the reason, but | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
it is a fact. You think men are higher sporting achievers than | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
women? They have a higher profile. That is why they have dominated the | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
list this year. Some say it is to do with the popularity of certain | :01:39. | :01:45. | |
sports. Women's sport, hockey, women's football you don't see that | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
much of. Has that got anything to do with it. Jessica Ennis has | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
reached that high pinnacle of sport on the world stage, which is what | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
the BBC are looking for. Well, that is what he reckons. This | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
year's sports personality, it is fair to say has upset some famous | :02:11. | :02:21. | |
:02:21. | :02:24. | ||
It is a big talking point. We have been joined by BBC reporter Matt | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
Slater. A big year for sport. It's been a fantastic year, thanks to | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
men and women. Why, in your opinion, have we got no women on the list? | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
There is a problem. There is a problem in this country that sport | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
is for boys not girl. Boys go and read about sport. One thing leads | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
on to the other. Women are excluded. The sports editor mentioned it. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Profiles - it is a shame. Not only do women make up half the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
population, we have amazing women sports stars. Is it anything to do | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
with the nominations. They are sports writers - is it fair, it is | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
right? The BBC has gone out to ask experts. These people are editors, | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
from all around the country. We thought it was a good way to do it. | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
This is the first time we haven't had a female nominee. Look, | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
something has gone wrong this year. You could split it up into a sports | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
man and sports woman of the year. Thank you for coming in. Moving on | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
to Egypt, where people are voting in the first free elections since | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
President Hosni Mubarak was forced to stand down. Some people say the | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
vote will not change things. Others are excited about their first real | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
:03:54. | :03:57. | ||
Election day in Egypt. There are huge queues, said to stretch up to | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
two miles long in some places. People tonight mind because of how | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
important this vote is. Earlier this year, Egyptians got so | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
fed up with how their country was being run, they took to the streets | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
in protest. Night after night, tens of thousands of people camped in | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Tahrir Square, in Cairo, finally bringing about a revolution, they | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
hoped would change their country forever. This is the result, the | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
first democratic parliamentary elections since President Mubarak | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
was kicked out in February. He had ruled the country for 40 years and | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
never allowed free votes. There were worries it would be delayed | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
because of demonstrations last week, which left more than 40 dead. So | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
far, there's a huge turnout of people. There's been no trouble. I | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
have not seen the blatant bribery which used to go on under Hosni | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
Mubarak's rule. It seems less chaotic. They've had a day to | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
rettify mistakes of yesterday. The election -- rectify mistakes of | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
yesterday. The election is going along well. Lots of people in Egypt | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
cannot read or write. Voters will not find out who has won for a | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
while. This is the first round of elections. They are held in stages | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
and the results will not come out until next March. Some people are | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
worried the military will still have too much power. Others are | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
excited because Governments should have to take notice of what they | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
think. Now, what is not loved about catching up with the latest | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
blockbuster at the cinema? If you cannot see the picture well and are | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
visually impaired it is hard to know what is going on. Audio | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
disskription means you are told what is going on the screen. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
-- description means you are told what is going on the screen. I love | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
to see the latest films at the cinema. There's one thing you may | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
have noticed, I am visually impaired and use a cane, so I need | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
these to enjoy a film. They are for audio description. I | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
put them on and sit wherever I like. It is cool because it means I can | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
enjoy the film, just like everybody else. When there is a gap in the | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
characters talking the audio description tells me about the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
exciting stuff that is happening on the screen. He sees the baddies | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
take their escape... But the problem is not all films | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
have it. Some cinemas only use it for some screenings, which is not | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
fair. I hope it will change soon and all films will realise how | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
important it is. Do you think more films should have audio | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
description? Absolutely. I am behind it 100%. The film companies | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
are moving in the right direction. Hopefully the numbers will increase | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
going forward and it will give the customer the opportunity to come | :06:55. | :07:04. | |
out and see more audio deskripive films. It would be a great idea to | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
have an award for audio description. It could encourage more to use it | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
in their films. I hope they do. Now, tomorrow most of you will get | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
a day off school because lots of teachers are going on strike. They | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
will join other workers who are unhappy with the changes the | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Government wants to make to their pensions, that's the money you get | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
to live on after you retire. have asked you to see what you | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
:07:39. | :07:47. | ||
think about the strike. That's it. You guys can still have | :07:47. | :07:51. |
