0:00:15 > 0:00:18Hi, guys, Naz here with your Sunday afternoon Newsround.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22First up, this week marks 100 years since a massive change in the law
0:00:22 > 0:00:25meant some women were allowed to vote in this country
0:00:25 > 0:00:27for the very first time.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29And that was made possible by a few superheroes.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Watch this...
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Marvellous Millicent Fawcett and amazing Emmeline Pankhurst...
0:00:36 > 0:00:41Their mission - fighting for the right to have their say.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43These are two superheroes with two very different superpowers,
0:00:43 > 0:00:48both battling a grave injustice.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52The story starts way back in 1897...
0:00:52 > 0:00:53I say!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56..when the only people allowed to vote for their MPs in the UK
0:00:56 > 0:00:59were rich men and no women at all.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Marvellous Millicent was angry about it.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07She set up a league of heroes known as the Suffragists.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10They campaigned for women to get the vote and tried to get support
0:01:10 > 0:01:13from men in Parliament.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15But for amazing Emmeline, this was not enough.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18She started a different group of heroes called
0:01:18 > 0:01:22the Suffragettes in 1903, who felt that they had to go much
0:01:22 > 0:01:27further to bring about change.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29They chained themselves to railings, set buildings on fire
0:01:29 > 0:01:34and attacked policemen.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Not everyone liked the Suffragettes because of their tactics,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40but they definitely made an impact.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And then, in 1914, a great darkness fell upon the planet
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and World War I broke out.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48That meant that women took the place of men
0:01:48 > 0:01:51in lots of really important jobs, while the men were fighting
0:01:51 > 0:01:54on the battlefield.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And because women made a huge difference to winning the war,
0:01:57 > 0:01:58it became impossible to keep ignoring demands to
0:01:58 > 0:02:04give them the vote.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07So, in 1918, the rules were changed - all adult men were allowed to vote
0:02:07 > 0:02:09and for the first time, some woman could, too.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13It would be another ten years before all women could vote,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15but our superheroes played a huge part in creating a future where men
0:02:15 > 0:02:23and women would have an equal vote.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Next, what's better than a sausage dog?
0:02:29 > 0:02:3050 of them!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32This is the first "sausage walk" in Hong Kong.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The dogs got together for walkies dressed in everything from winter
0:02:35 > 0:02:36jumpers to some pretty smart-looking tweed!
0:02:36 > 0:02:43Check them out strutting their stuff!
0:02:43 > 0:02:48Some big supermarkets in the UK are promising to do more to help cut
0:02:48 > 0:02:50the amount of plastic we use,
0:02:50 > 0:02:51but they haven't met these two yet!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54They're determined to get food stores to change their ways...
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Hi, I'm Amy.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57And I'm Ella.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59And we're here today on a bit of a mission.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Every year, UK supermarkets use a million tonnes of plastic
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and all that plastic is seriously harming our planet.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07We want them to make a change.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Iceland is one of the big UK supermarkets.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13They say they want to cut the amount of plastic that they use.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16So we've come to grill one of their bosses to see
0:03:16 > 0:03:18if they are doing enough.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20We know that wasting plastic is really bad,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23so why do you use so much of it in your shops?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Because that is what we have been used to for the last 30 years,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28we have been using plastics all the time.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32It is not right now but it is just something that we used moving away
0:03:32 > 0:03:35from traditional materials like paper and board.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38See, the reason we are so passionate about this is because plastic,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42when it's thrown away, is really harmful to the planet.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It doesn't rot like paper or food.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So we end up with mountains of the stuff.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Animals get trapped in it, it is eaten by fish in our seas...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And if it's the sort of plastic that can't be recycled,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56it means making more and more of it.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Supermarkets ARE making some changes though, like trying to make more
0:03:59 > 0:04:02packaging recyclable.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Iceland say that in five years all of its own products
0:04:04 > 0:04:07will be plastic-free.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Five years is quite a long time.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Now, by that time we will be around 17 and 19 years of age.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18So why are you not doing it now, why is it taking this long?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Because the materials are just not available.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22We would love to do it now.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25So, if we go in and say, "Right, we are changing direction" and go
0:04:25 > 0:04:28onto another material, and that's more expensive,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30we do not think the consumer is going to pay for that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32If it is only your products that are going to become plastic-free,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34what about everything else?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Are your shops still going to be completely full of plastic?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38We're trying to get rid of all plastic.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41We're going to push the other brands that you see around the store,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43we are going to push everybody to do it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Plastic has been a problem for years, so why is the change only
0:04:46 > 0:04:48starting to happen now?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Blue Planet came along, we all watched it and we were
0:04:50 > 0:04:51shattered, weren't we?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53We are killing sea turtles and seals.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Yes, we are on it, we are all looking at things
0:04:56 > 0:04:58and already changing things, but when Blue Planet came on,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I think everybody was aware then that we've got a problem.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Thank you very much.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, it was great to hear what Ian had to say and hear
0:05:07 > 0:05:10about all the changes that Iceland are making, it just seems to lack
0:05:10 > 0:05:11that sense of important urgency.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Yeah, Ian said some good stuff, but I just can't
0:05:14 > 0:05:16imagine a place like this being completely plastic-free.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18So there's still a lot of steps that Iceland and other
0:05:18 > 0:05:19supermarkets need to take.
0:05:19 > 0:05:27I just wish it could happen sooner.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Now everyone loves it when you get to watch a film at school,
0:05:34 > 0:05:38but these pupils in Atlanta in the US are super excited
0:05:38 > 0:05:41about going on a school trip to see the new superhero movie
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Black Panther.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Over three million people have watched this clip in just one day!
0:05:48 > 0:05:54That's a lot of views and a lot of happy kids!
0:05:54 > 0:05:56That's all from the weekend team today.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Newsround's back at 7.40am tomorrow morning with Martin!
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Have a great Sunday.
