And the caped crusading superhero in Japan whose sole aim is just to | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
make people happy. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:20 | |
Top scientists are warning that we all need to eat less red meat | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
and dairy products. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
But this isn't just to do with our health - they're saying | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
it's to help the environment. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
A new report is the latest to claim the amount of meat we eat | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
is speeding up climate change, as Martin's been finding out. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:40 | |
Red meat. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:41 | |
More and more people around the world are eating it, as the | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
appetite for the likes of burgers and steak, grows around the world. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
But now scientists say we need to eat less of it, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
cutting back to just two portions a week to help save the planet. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
They say red meat production is speeding up climate change. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
So when the world wants more of it, the impact | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
on the environment goes up too. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
And here's how it happens: | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
Cows, the main source of red meat, need space to live and graze. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
To make room, forests full of trees, that help absorb carbon dioxide, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
are chopped down. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
So carbon dioxide levels go up. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:12 | |
Cows also burp. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:13 | |
A lot. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
And these burps contain methane, a gas that's even more harmful to the | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
environment than carbon dioxide. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:24 | |
As more and more people want to eat more and more meat we're seeing meat | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
production at scales that require a lot of land. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
The problem is really the scale. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
Every year we eat more than 65 billion animals worldwide. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
So if we need to cut back on red meat, what's the alternative? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:50 | |
Red meat is good for you in small quanties but hey, try chicken. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
The United Nations says that as the world's population grows, and | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
developing countries get richer, the amount of meat produced around the | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
world is going to rise by more than a half in the next forty years. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
This latest report says if we want to help the planet, we'll all | 0:02:03 | 0:02:06 | |
need to cut back on this stuff . | 0:02:06 | 0:02:12 | |
Next up, there are just a few hours left until football's transfer | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
deadline, to add to the record-breaking amount already spent | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
by English clubs this summer. Old Trafford has given us the big news | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
of the day, with Colombian striker Rad-a-mel Falcao off to Manchester | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
United, on a season-long loan from Monaco. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
United have the option to buy him for good at the end of the season. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
The deadline is 11:00pm | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
tonight so check back with us in the morning, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
to see who has ended up where! | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
It's crunch time for Andy Murray at the US Open tennis tournament. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
He takes on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at 8:00pm | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
our time, tonight, for a place in the quarterfinals. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
If he wins it'll be the first time Andy's beaten | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
a player in the World's top 10, since he won Wimbledon last year. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
But he says his best tennis is yet to come. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
He is an exciting player to watch. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
Big serve. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
He moves extremely well. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
He is very explosive around the court | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
and can generate a lot of power. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
In terms of how I am playing a think I am playing OK. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
I don't think I have played my best tennis yet. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
And I hope that is just around the corner. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Next up, space fans, it's fair to say that our star has | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
been pretty busy this week. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
There have been a number of eruptions on the surface | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
of the sun in the past few days. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Solar flares can cause disruption to satellites, | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
power grids and even air travel. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
But experts say these latest flares aren't aimed in Earth's direction, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
so for now, we can just enjoy the show. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
And it's by far the most popular page on our website right now: | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
the confirmed line-up for the new series of Strictly, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
which starts at the weekend, and you've been telling us what you | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
think of the celebs involved. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Quite a few of you are excited that Pixie Lott is taking part - | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Isobel says she's a huge fan of Pixie and thinks she'll win! | 0:03:58 | 0:04:06 | |
And last up, The Dark Knight has risen - not in Gotham, | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
but in the city of Chiba in Japan. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
This is Chi-Batman, riding around on his three-wheeled Chi-bat-pod. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
The masked motorcyclist gets quite an audience wherever he goes, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
in awe of his superhero costume and crime-busting gadgets. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:32 | |
So why is the man of mystery doing this? | 0:04:32 | 0:04:40 | |
I started doing this around three years ago. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
As to my reasons, during the great earthquake people | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
forgot how to smile. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
I wanted to help bring the smile back. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:49 | |
That is why I started. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:56 | |
Amazing. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:56 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back in the morning. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
Have a great afternoon. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 |
