Hi, I'm Ricky and you're
watching Newsround. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Coming up on the show today... | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
The British star with her own doll. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:13 | |
But who is it? | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
The girl cleaning up after the snow. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
The oldest message in a bottle
is discovered in Australia. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:26 | |
First up, when you walk around
where you live do you ever see | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
strange street names and wonder -
"Why did they call it that?" | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
Well, you aren't the only one,
so we've done some digging. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Here's this week's Big Question. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:51 | |
These might sound
like they are all made | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
up places but they are all real! | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
It is a clue to this
week's Big Question... | 0:00:56 | 0:01:04 | |
First, we need to go way
back to the Roman times. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
They brought the idea of roads
as we know them to the UK. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Before that, we just
travelled on dirt tracks. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:11 | |
As more roads were
built, it became clear | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
that all the new roads needed
names so people knew | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
where they were going. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
This started out very simply. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:26 | |
If it is the main road
in town, guess what? | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
It is called Main Street. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
If it is a street that
has a market on it, it | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
is probably called... | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
In 2017, a research scientists
found that the most | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
popular name was High Street. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
There are 2472 in the UK. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Over years, councils
and builders have had to | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
get creative. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
Here is Alan Scott, a town planner
from the Scottish Borders | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
here to tell us more. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
Names to be considered
could be suggested for | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
various reasons. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Various local people,
local landmarks, plants, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:52 | |
trees, islands. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
We have even had them
named after golf courses. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
I think that really
has a ring to it. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:06 | |
Olympic gold medal boxer,
Nicola Adams has been | 0:02:09 | 0:02:10 | |
turned into a Barbie doll. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
It's International Women's Day
later this week and Nicola's | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
the first star from the UK to join
a special range of Barbie dolls | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
designed to honour inspiring women. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
The makers of the doll
say they chose Nicola | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
because of her outstanding
contributions to boxing. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Nicola says she's excited to become
the first ever boxer barbie. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:30 | |
With all the snow last week,
lots of you have probably been doing | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
this. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
But one girl has added a bit
of a twist, by clearing up | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
rubbish at the same time. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
Check this out! | 0:02:39 | 0:02:40 | |
Wow. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Meet Amelia. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:43 | |
She is eight and love sledging. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
She hates all the rubbish
people leave behind, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
like these broken sleds. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:56 | |
She is on a mission
to clear up the trash. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
I was worried about the children
because if they were sledging | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
they could cut themselves. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
I was really sad because an animal
could get its head stuck in here. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
Lots of people heard about Amelia's
big clean up and came out to help, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
including this trash fighting hero. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:19 | |
Remember Nadia, also
known as trash girl, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
who became famous for cleaning up
rubbish on her bike? | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
The fact that Amelia has done
something about it is | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
really, really good. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
And Amelia's Dad
is helping out, too. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
She likes being outside and anything
that spoils being outside, | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
like rubbish and litter,
she wants to do something about it. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
I just thought that everyone
was good and cared about nature, | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
but apparently they do not. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
It is getting heavy. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
There's loads of stuff in there. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
This rubbish does not stand
a chance, with not one, | 0:03:51 | 0:03:58 | |
but two trash girls and their gang
of helpers helping. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:04 | |
It is good. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
I am really happy today
because I met my hero. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
So, rubbish of Norwich, watch out,
trash girls are coming to get you! | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
The world's oldest known message
in a bottle has been | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
found after 132 years! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
It was found by a family
in Perth in Australia. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
Experts say it was thrown
overboard by the German Navy. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
And was part of an experiment into
the routes boats travelled in 1886. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
