Hi, I'm Martin -
and welcome to Newsround. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
It's a hundred years since a massive
change in the law meant some women | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
were allowed to vote in this country
for the very first time. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
And that was made possible
by a few superheroes. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:28 | |
These are two superheroes with two
very different superpowers, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
both battling a grave injustice. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
The story starts way back in 1897... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
I say! | 0:00:44 | 0:00:45 | |
..when the only people allowed
to vote for their MPs in the UK | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
were rich men and no women at all. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Marvellous Millicent
was angry about it. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
She set up a league of heroes
known as the suffragists. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
They campaigned for women to get
the votes and tried to get support | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
from men in Parliament. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
But for Amazing Emmeline,
this wasn't enough. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
She started a different
group of heroes called | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
the suffragettes in 1903. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
They felt that they had to go much
further to bring about change. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
They chained themselves to railings,
set buildings on fire | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
and attacked policemen. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Not everyone liked the suffragettes
because of their tactics. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
But they definitely made an impact. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
And then in 1914, a great darkness
fell upon the planet | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
and World War I broke out. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
That meant that women
took the place of men | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
in lots of really important jobs,
while the men fought | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
on the battlefield. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
And because women made a huge
difference to winning the war, | 0:01:45 | 0:01:53 | |
it became impossible
to keep ignoring demands to | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
give them the vote. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
So in 1918, the rules were changed. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
All adult men were allowed to vote,
and for the first time, some women. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
It would be another ten years before
all women could vote, | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
but our superheroes played a huge
part in creating a future where men | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
and women could have an equal vote. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:17 | |
Have you ever wondered
what life's like from a polar | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
bear's point of view? | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
I know I have - and it
seems so have scientists. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:27 | |
So they attached
small cameras to some | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
of the bears to watch them
going about their daily lives. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Scientists say Arctic sea ice
has been melting over | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
the last few decades -
but polar bears need that ice | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
to help them catch their prey. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
They wanted to check
if the animals got enough to eat. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
It's hoped the polar bear eye's view
camera will help teach us more | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
about how the animals are surviving. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
Next, it's one of the biggest
sporting events in the world | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
and the most important match
in American football. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
I'm talking about the Super Bowl,
which takes place this | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Sunday in the US. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
Ricky caught up with two
experts to find out more | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
about this incredible game. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
The Super Bowl is finally here. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:15 | |
It is one of the biggest sporting
events in the US and it's becoming | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
huge all around the world
and here in the UK too. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
It's one of the biggest sporting
events in the world, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
not just the United States,
and it's incredible. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
The United Kingdom taking
to the sport is something | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
we are all very excited about. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
The event is outstanding,
the half-time show and everything | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
involved with the game,
I'm excited. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
A lot of people talk
about the half-time show | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
and there is always a huge celebrity
on the stage. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Who is it this year? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
Justin Timberlake. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
Can you tell us who is in the final
and this year's Super Bowl? | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
We have got the New England Patriots
and the Philadelphia Eagles. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
The Philadelphia Eagles have
never won a Super Bowl | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
whereas the Patriots have won five. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
I'm leaning towards
the Philadelphia Eagles right now, | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
I like the way they play,
but you can never really bet | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
against New England Patriots. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
What about some top
players to look out for? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
The top player in the history
of the game, Tom Brady. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Philadelphia, you've
got the new quarterback | 0:04:14 | 0:04:15 | |
Nick Foles who has really come
into his own and last | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
couple of games. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:19 | |
We have Jay Ajayi, a British player,
what do we think of him? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
He has been a spark. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
The reason they have
had success of late | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
is because of him and his skill set. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Great player and fan favourite
and I am excited to see him | 0:04:32 | 0:04:35 | |
in the first Super Bowl. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
You've won the Super Bowl twice
with the New York Giants. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
Tell us what that feeling was like. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:40 | |
Hard to describe but I would equate
it to winning the World Cup, | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
something people here
are more familiar with. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
It's so exciting, a lifelong dream,
something of a kid America dreams | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
about and to finally accomplish
that was very special to me. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
Enjoy your weekend! | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Have a good one. | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 |
