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