0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hi, I'm Ricky and you're watching Newsround.

0:00:08 > 0:00:12Coming up on the show today...

0:00:12 > 0:00:13The British star with her own doll.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15But who is it?

0:00:15 > 0:00:18The girl cleaning up after the snow.

0:00:18 > 0:00:26The oldest message in a bottle is discovered in Australia.

0:00:33 > 0:00:37First up, when you walk around where you live do you ever see

0:00:37 > 0:00:41strange street names and wonder - "Why did they call it that?"

0:00:41 > 0:00:44Well, you aren't the only one, so we've done some digging.

0:00:44 > 0:00:51Here's this week's Big Question.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53These might sound like they are all made

0:00:53 > 0:00:56up places but they are all real!

0:00:56 > 0:01:04It is a clue to this week's Big Question...

0:01:04 > 0:01:06First, we need to go way back to the Roman times.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09They brought the idea of roads as we know them to the UK.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11Before that, we just travelled on dirt tracks.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14As more roads were built, it became clear

0:01:14 > 0:01:17that all the new roads needed names so people knew

0:01:17 > 0:01:18where they were going.

0:01:18 > 0:01:26This started out very simply.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30If it is the main road in town, guess what?

0:01:30 > 0:01:31It is called Main Street.

0:01:31 > 0:01:34If it is a street that has a market on it, it

0:01:34 > 0:01:35is probably called...

0:01:35 > 0:01:37In 2017, a research scientists found that the most

0:01:37 > 0:01:38popular name was High Street.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40There are 2472 in the UK.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Over years, councils and builders have had to

0:01:42 > 0:01:43get creative.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Here is Alan Scott, a town planner from the Scottish Borders

0:01:45 > 0:01:47here to tell us more.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49Names to be considered could be suggested for

0:01:49 > 0:01:51various reasons.

0:01:51 > 0:01:52Various local people, local landmarks, plants,

0:01:52 > 0:01:55trees, islands.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58We have even had them named after golf courses.

0:01:58 > 0:02:06I think that really has a ring to it.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Olympic gold medal boxer, Nicola Adams has been

0:02:10 > 0:02:12turned into a Barbie doll.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's International Women's Day later this week and Nicola's

0:02:14 > 0:02:18the first star from the UK to join a special range of Barbie dolls

0:02:18 > 0:02:19designed to honour inspiring women.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21The makers of the doll say they chose Nicola

0:02:21 > 0:02:24because of her outstanding contributions to boxing.

0:02:24 > 0:02:30Nicola says she's excited to become the first ever boxer barbie.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33With all the snow last week, lots of you have probably been doing

0:02:33 > 0:02:35this.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38But one girl has added a bit of a twist, by clearing up

0:02:38 > 0:02:39rubbish at the same time.

0:02:39 > 0:02:40Check this out!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Wow.

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Meet Amelia.

0:02:43 > 0:02:48She is eight and love sledging.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51She hates all the rubbish people leave behind,

0:02:51 > 0:02:56like these broken sleds.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58She is on a mission to clear up the trash.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00I was worried about the children because if they were sledging

0:03:00 > 0:03:02they could cut themselves.

0:03:02 > 0:03:07I was really sad because an animal could get its head stuck in here.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12Lots of people heard about Amelia's big clean up and came out to help,

0:03:12 > 0:03:19including this trash fighting hero.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23Remember Nadia, also known as trash girl,

0:03:23 > 0:03:26who became famous for cleaning up rubbish on her bike?

0:03:26 > 0:03:28The fact that Amelia has done something about it is

0:03:28 > 0:03:30really, really good.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32And Amelia's Dad is helping out, too.

0:03:32 > 0:03:37She likes being outside and anything that spoils being outside,

0:03:37 > 0:03:43like rubbish and litter, she wants to do something about it.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45I just thought that everyone was good and cared about nature,

0:03:45 > 0:03:46but apparently they do not.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48It is getting heavy.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51There's loads of stuff in there.

0:03:51 > 0:03:58This rubbish does not stand a chance, with not one,

0:03:58 > 0:04:04but two trash girls and their gang of helpers helping.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05It is good.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10I am really happy today because I met my hero.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13So, rubbish of Norwich, watch out, trash girls are coming to get you!

0:04:13 > 0:04:16The world's oldest known message in a bottle has been

0:04:16 > 0:04:19found after 132 years!

0:04:19 > 0:04:23It was found by a family in Perth in Australia.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28Experts say it was thrown overboard by the German Navy.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32And was part of an experiment into the routes boats travelled in 1886.
