0:00:16 > 0:00:17Hi, I'm Martin.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19You're watching Newsround and we've got loads for you today.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21First up - the Prime Minister's announced plans
0:00:21 > 0:00:24to try to get rid of more plastic waste over the next 25 years.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27One thing Theresa May wants to do is to make some supermarket
0:00:27 > 0:00:28aisles 'plastic-free'
0:00:28 > 0:00:30with no packaging at all.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Environmental groups say if the plans aren't made
0:00:32 > 0:00:33law they won't work.
0:00:33 > 0:00:41So why is everyone talking about plastic?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Plastic is everywhere. It takes a long time to get rid of. A simple
0:00:49 > 0:00:52plastic bag can take hundreds of years to disintegrate and in that
0:00:52 > 0:00:57time it can do a lot of damage, getting into the oceans and harming
0:00:57 > 0:01:01animals. And there is so much of it. In the UK alone the amount of single
0:01:01 > 0:01:06use plastic wasted every year would fill 1000 of its famous Royal Albert
0:01:06 > 0:01:15Halls. The problem is not just here. The plastic is washing up on beaches
0:01:15 > 0:01:18all over the world. We are trying to tackle the problem. You can help by
0:01:18 > 0:01:22trying to find ways to reduce the amount of plastic used by recycling
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and reusing.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26We want to know what you think.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Should some plastics - like water bottles
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and drinking straws - be completely banned?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Head to newsround online and give us your views.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Now if gadgets are your thing then get ready because BBC technology
0:01:34 > 0:01:37reporter Chris Foxx has sent us a special report from CES,

0:01:40 > 0:01:47of the latest inventions.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09There is the suitcase which follows you around automatically so you
0:02:09 > 0:02:14don't have to carry it. I asked the company if they would make a
0:02:14 > 0:02:17schoolbag version but they have no plans at the moment. If you like
0:02:17 > 0:02:23gaming you might like this body virtual reality suit. It helps you

0:02:35 > 0:02:40yourself in. The company took a video of me and locked me in a snow

0:02:43 > 0:02:48help you learn how they work. It lets you playing some -- play some
0:02:48 > 0:02:51simple old-fashioned games. But it's a complicated process to put it all
0:02:51 > 0:02:55together. This show is about companies are showing off what they
0:02:55 > 0:02:59think will be the next big thing. Not all of them are good ideas. And
0:02:59 > 0:03:03not all of them will make it to the shops. So, what do you think of
0:03:03 > 0:03:09these? Happy emoji or thumbs down emoji?
