Morning.

I'm Martin,

and this is Newsround.

First, can you imagine how it

would it feel if someone told

you your opinion didn't matter just

because you were a girl?

Well, that's what it was like

until 100 years ago this week

in the UK, when women

and poorer men weren't allowed

to vote for their MP.

These kids have been finding

out what that was like.

Today, we're going to be

voting on some really,

really important issues that

will have an effect on all of you.

You have been split into two teams.

We have the Yellows,

and we have the Greens.

We're going to vote on whether...

..only have Brussels sprouts

for the rest of the whole week.

Write yes or no on here,

what you agree with.

OK?

Place your votes, and then go back

and sit in the middle.

So we have just got the votes in.

And the Yellows voted for the Greens

having to eat Brussels sprouts

for the rest of the week.

Next, we're going to have a race.

Greens versus Yellows.

To see who can cross

the room the fastest.

But we're going to have

a vote on whether...

The class have voted...

that the Greens will

only be allowed to hop.

Go!

Hands up if you thought

those votes were unfair.

Do you guys know that 100 years ago

women were not allowed to vote?

So imagine how they would have felt.

After I voted, I felt kind of guilty

that I had voted for something bad

to happen to the Greens.

I found it unfair because I am

making decisions for other people.

It's just unfair that some people

can't vote and some people can.

I was really surprised.

I thought it was all women,

and I thought that was

unfair for only men.

And it doesn't matter

your gender, where you come from,

or how rich you are,

that you should vote.

Everyone should be able to vote.

Later this week, the Winter Olympics

start in South Korea.

But if you're more of a fan

of summer sports, you're probably

looking ahead to

the Commonwealth Games.

It's being held in April

on the Gold Coast in Australia.

And two people who will be

there representing England

are divers Jack Laugher and

Chris Mears.

Let's see them in action...

COMMENTATOR:

Laugher and Mears.

Forward 4.5.

Well, that was a dive that

Jack Laugher missed yesterday.

Laugher and Mears

coming out with this.

I knew it was going to be

a little bit like that,

watching it in training -

this is their most difficult dive.

were you going to be representing

Team England?

Congratulations -

how did it feel to find out

were you going to be representing

Team England?

It is great. We competed in Glasgow.

With won. That was an amazing

experience so we are excited to see

what we can do on Gold Coast.

Tell

me about your friendship, it is a

difficult sport, which skills do you

have do possess?

We live together

and train together every single day.

Inside the swimming pool we are

dedicated and focus. Similar

heights, and spinning speed. That

helps. We can reach each other like

a book and that gives us the

competitive edge against other

athletes. Being able to read each

other's mines is a real talent.

We

saw the Commonwealth Games. How does

it feel for years on?

I am now

seeing a lot of technical flaws!

Compared to where we are at now. We

came out with a win and are excited

to go to Gold Coast and see if we

can make an impact.

Last time, we

asked you what different sports you

would like to try, and usurp

curling.

Will you be watching?

I

love the Winter Olympics and I love

to watch curling.

Good luck to all

of them.

Curling is a good Scottish

sport as well! Thank you for coming

in.

The Philadelphia Eagles

won the American

Super Bowl for the first time.

It's American football's

biggest and most showbiz

event, and all happened

while you were fast asleep.

The Eagles beat the favourites

and last year's winners

the New England Patriots.

But most importantly

for me - this year's

half-time Show was amazing!

Justin Timberlake was the star.

He performed for 12 minutes -

including his song

Can't Stop the Feeling -

and ended up in the

middle of the crowd.

Among them was a 13-year-old boy

who may just be the most popular

person in his school today -

he managed to bag

a selfie with the star.

Check out this frozen waterfall in

China. It looks like an ice

sculpture hanging on the website. It

is almost as tall as seven

double-decker buses. Tourists have

been travelling from miles just to

see it.

See you later.
