:00:12. > :00:14.This is Newsround on Monday morning - I'm Ricky.

:00:15. > :00:17.If you're having eggs for your breakfast, do you know

:00:18. > :00:22.The big supermarket Tesco is going to stop selling eggs

:00:23. > :00:25.It's after 14-year-old Lucy campaigned for them them to stop.

:00:26. > :00:34.Nearly half of all eggs on our supermarket shelves

:00:35. > :00:39.That means the hens have small spaces -

:00:40. > :00:53.Many think this is not good for the hens' welfare and they should

:00:54. > :00:56.Meet 14-year-old Lucy - she felt so strongly about the issue

:00:57. > :01:11.I found that a lot of hens are housed in cages or barns,

:01:12. > :01:13.so from there I wrote to supermarkets and some politicians

:01:14. > :01:23.I didn't get the best response so instead I started looking

:01:24. > :01:26.I never expected to get some many signatures but within five months

:01:27. > :01:30.we got to raise 280,000 signatures, so I went to a meeting with Tesco

:01:31. > :01:33.and I met the head of agriculture, and when I was there I didn't get

:01:34. > :01:36.the sense they were planning to change, but clearly something

:01:37. > :01:38.made a difference to them, and now they've said

:01:39. > :01:40.that they will stop selling caged eggs by 2025.

:01:41. > :01:43.I think it is quite a long way in the future

:01:44. > :01:44.but I just think that means it

:01:45. > :01:48.will be done properly and that will give me more chance to prepare

:01:49. > :01:49.for it and work with other supermarkets.

:01:50. > :01:52.For years animal charities like the RSPCA have tried to stop

:01:53. > :02:00.I think if Tesco's announcement can encourage other retailers to do

:02:01. > :02:03.the same, in 2025 we might not be able to buy any caged

:02:04. > :02:06.eggs in supermarkets, and that can only be

:02:07. > :02:08.a really positive thing for hen welfare.

:02:09. > :02:11.Lucy hopes she can get more supermarkets to change their minds -

:02:12. > :02:13.and go that egg-stra mile and take eggs from caged hens

:02:14. > :02:24.And the new big family film the BFG had it's first showing yesterday.

:02:25. > :02:26.The stars turned out but all the talk was about 11-year-old

:02:27. > :02:37.Nobody would listen to me anyway - I'm an untrustworthy child!

:02:38. > :02:40.We basically went to schools and put ads in papers.

:02:41. > :02:43.We were all over the UK and it was really important to me

:02:44. > :02:50.to honour Roald Dahl and his intentions in first

:02:51. > :02:52.writing the story of Sophie, that she be English.

:02:53. > :02:54.So I was really hoping that she would

:02:55. > :02:56.come from the UK, and we found her in Manchester.

:02:57. > :02:58.Malala Yousafzai - the schoolgirl who was shot

:02:59. > :03:01.by the extremist group the Taliban on her way home from school

:03:02. > :03:04.in Pakistan - has just celebrated her 19th birthday.

:03:05. > :03:06.For years she's campaigned for girls all over the world to be

:03:07. > :03:11.Well, unlike most teenagers, for her birthday

:03:12. > :03:14.she decided to visit one of the world's largest refugee camps

:03:15. > :03:17.For these girls who live in the Dadaab refugee

:03:18. > :03:18.camp in Kenya, this is the

:03:19. > :03:40.The 340,000 refugees who live here are escaping war, and have moved

:03:41. > :03:44.here to feel safe. I so many girls here today and they were saying that

:03:45. > :03:48.even though they are in a refugee camp, at least they are going to

:03:49. > :03:57.school and getting education. They are really happy here. It means

:03:58. > :04:02.great happiness for me because I am a girl who is very brave and strong

:04:03. > :04:08.and know what education is, and the importance of education. Earlier

:04:09. > :04:13.this year the government in Kenya said it would close down this

:04:14. > :04:18.refugee camp. They say it is not safe and want to send some of the

:04:19. > :04:22.families back home to Somalia. Education is a need for them. They

:04:23. > :04:28.want to learn and closing down this camp and not arranging an

:04:29. > :04:32.alternative for them, not arranging separate schools for them in Somalia

:04:33. > :04:35.are here, that would put their lives at risk. They would not be able to

:04:36. > :04:39.follow their dreams and achieve their dreams.

:04:40. > :04:41.separate schools for them in Somalia or here, that

:04:42. > :04:45.They would not be able to follow their dreams and achieve

:04:46. > :04:51.She hopes her visit will help persuade the government in Kenya to

:04:52. > :04:52.allow these girls to carry on getting the education they deserve.

:04:53. > :04:54.That's all from me - Newsround's back right
