Hi, I'm Hayley -

and this is Newsround.

0:00:150:00:18

It's thought here in the UK

we use more than 8 billion

0:00:180:00:21

plastic straws every year.

0:00:210:00:24

So a group of kids in Scotland

are on a mission to get them banned.

0:00:240:00:28

It's because they want to help

protect our planet and cut

0:00:280:00:32

the amount of plastic that

gets thrown away.

0:00:320:00:34

Whitney has this...

0:00:340:00:36

They've already convinced

Glasgow Council, the biggest

0:00:360:00:38

in Scotland to ditch

0:00:380:00:41

plastic straws but their mission

0:00:410:00:43

doesn't stop there.

0:00:430:00:45

These kids are taking

the ferry to the Isle of

0:00:450:00:47

Arran.

0:00:470:00:49

Around 5000 people live there

and they want them to quit using

0:00:490:00:52

them too.

0:00:520:00:54

There is, like, animals out

there in danger because they are

0:00:540:00:56

eating plastic.

0:00:560:00:58

What do you hope to do

with this campaign?

0:00:580:01:01

Try and stop plastic

straws from being used.

0:01:010:01:03

And start using, like, paper straws.

0:01:030:01:06

It's our future and

we need to make sure

0:01:060:01:08

that it's not all gone

when we grow up.

0:01:080:01:12

They call themselves

the Ocean Defenders.

0:01:120:01:16

A lot of plastic when

it's thrown away ends

0:01:160:01:18

up in the sea.

0:01:180:01:20

It can stay there for hundreds

of years because it doesnt

0:01:200:01:22

rot like a paper straw would.

0:01:220:01:25

This means it's harmful to both

animals and the environment.

0:01:250:01:30

They're talking to

other kids about what

0:01:300:01:32

they're doing so they

can do the same.

0:01:320:01:36

I hadn't really thought about it

but now the presentation has

0:01:360:01:38

taught me a lot more about it,

it's very different now.

0:01:380:01:43

I think the most surprising

and interesting thing is

0:01:430:01:45

how much this does

affect the environment.

0:01:450:01:49

You wouldn't expect that from wee,

tiny plastic straws.

0:01:490:01:53

We could to speak to some

0:01:530:01:55

of the cafes on the island

0:01:550:01:56

because I know a lot

of

0:01:560:01:59

the cafes sell plastic straws

so if we could maybe get them

0:01:590:02:02

to change to paper straws it

would be really

0:02:020:02:04

good.

0:02:040:02:05

We're trying to make people stop

expecting a straw in their

0:02:050:02:08

drink.

0:02:080:02:10

They are so knowledgeable

and they're are really confident and

0:02:100:02:13

passionate, the way they speak.

0:02:130:02:14

Did you find the arguments

persuasive, you got plastic

0:02:140:02:16

straws...

0:02:160:02:17

Absolutely.

0:02:170:02:18

Absolutely.

0:02:180:02:19

This is my naughty pot,

naughty pot no more.

0:02:190:02:21

You go, guys!

0:02:210:02:29

Thanks, guys, good work.

0:02:290:02:31

The FA Cup dream is over) for League

2 side Newport County.

0:02:310:02:34

They played premier league giants

Tottenham at Wembley last night.

0:02:340:02:37

But lost 2-0.

0:02:370:02:38

Spurs will now face Rochdale.

0:02:380:02:39

Next, meet the extreme ice

skater from Saudi Arabia -

0:02:390:02:42

who's moved to Liverpool in England

to share his incredible skating

0:02:420:02:45

skills with the world.

0:02:450:02:48

Growing in Saudi Arabia you don't

really see much ice.

0:02:550:02:58

When I came I first came

to Liverpool people

0:02:580:03:00

doesn't expect someone

from an Arabic country to come

0:03:000:03:02

and present something new.

0:03:020:03:09

I got into ice skating

as a boy, my sister started

0:03:220:03:27

ice-skating as figure skater

when I was young and since then

0:03:270:03:29

I started going there with her.

0:03:290:03:31

Every time I go the coach

would see me starting to do flips

0:03:310:03:35

and I started watching

aggressive skating and line

0:03:350:03:38

skating and nobody knew

there was

0:03:380:03:41

something in the middle called

extreme where you could just jump,

0:03:410:03:44

break dance.

0:03:440:03:47

It's a physical sport.

0:03:510:03:54

You train your hands, your legs,

your blood circulation, it

0:03:540:03:57

helps your fitness wise,

it helps in your confidence

0:03:570:04:00

once you get used to it,

the first basic thing I tell

0:04:000:04:03

everybody that's never

skated, your mind is your

0:04:030:04:06

boundaries, try a jump,

if

0:04:060:04:08

you don't like it, try footwork,

you don't like it, try

0:04:080:04:11

spinning, you don't

like it, you got brakes.

0:04:110:04:18

I would love to go to the Olympics,

my dream at the end is to

0:04:210:04:24

reach if I can to the best

ice skater, extreme ice

0:04:240:04:27

skater in the world.

0:04:270:04:30

That's so impressed that.
