This is Newsround on Monday morning - I'm Ricky.

:00:12.:00:14.

If you're having eggs for your breakfast, do you know

:00:15.:00:17.

The big supermarket Tesco is going to stop selling eggs

:00:18.:00:22.

It's after 14-year-old Lucy campaigned for them them to stop.

:00:23.:00:25.

Nearly half of all eggs on our supermarket shelves

:00:26.:00:34.

That means the hens have small spaces -

:00:35.:00:39.

Many think this is not good for the hens' welfare and they should

:00:40.:00:53.

Meet 14-year-old Lucy - she felt so strongly about the issue

:00:54.:00:56.

I found that a lot of hens are housed in cages or barns,

:00:57.:01:11.

so from there I wrote to supermarkets and some politicians

:01:12.:01:13.

I didn't get the best response so instead I started looking

:01:14.:01:23.

I never expected to get some many signatures but within five months

:01:24.:01:26.

we got to raise 280,000 signatures, so I went to a meeting with Tesco

:01:27.:01:30.

and I met the head of agriculture, and when I was there I didn't get

:01:31.:01:33.

the sense they were planning to change, but clearly something

:01:34.:01:36.

made a difference to them, and now they've said

:01:37.:01:38.

that they will stop selling caged eggs by 2025.

:01:39.:01:40.

I think it is quite a long way in the future

:01:41.:01:43.

but I just think that means it

:01:44.:01:44.

will be done properly and that will give me more chance to prepare

:01:45.:01:48.

for it and work with other supermarkets.

:01:49.:01:49.

For years animal charities like the RSPCA have tried to stop

:01:50.:01:52.

I think if Tesco's announcement can encourage other retailers to do

:01:53.:02:00.

the same, in 2025 we might not be able to buy any caged

:02:01.:02:03.

eggs in supermarkets, and that can only be

:02:04.:02:06.

a really positive thing for hen welfare.

:02:07.:02:08.

Lucy hopes she can get more supermarkets to change their minds -

:02:09.:02:11.

and go that egg-stra mile and take eggs from caged hens

:02:12.:02:13.

And the new big family film the BFG had it's first showing yesterday.

:02:14.:02:24.

The stars turned out but all the talk was about 11-year-old

:02:25.:02:26.

Nobody would listen to me anyway - I'm an untrustworthy child!

:02:27.:02:37.

We basically went to schools and put ads in papers.

:02:38.:02:40.

We were all over the UK and it was really important to me

:02:41.:02:43.

to honour Roald Dahl and his intentions in first

:02:44.:02:50.

writing the story of Sophie, that she be English.

:02:51.:02:52.

So I was really hoping that she would

:02:53.:02:54.

come from the UK, and we found her in Manchester.

:02:55.:02:56.

Malala Yousafzai - the schoolgirl who was shot

:02:57.:02:58.

by the extremist group the Taliban on her way home from school

:02:59.:03:01.

in Pakistan - has just celebrated her 19th birthday.

:03:02.:03:04.

For years she's campaigned for girls all over the world to be

:03:05.:03:06.

Well, unlike most teenagers, for her birthday

:03:07.:03:11.

she decided to visit one of the world's largest refugee camps

:03:12.:03:14.

For these girls who live in the Dadaab refugee

:03:15.:03:17.

camp in Kenya, this is the

:03:18.:03:18.

The 340,000 refugees who live here are escaping war, and have moved

:03:19.:03:40.

here to feel safe. I so many girls here today and they were saying that

:03:41.:03:44.

even though they are in a refugee camp, at least they are going to

:03:45.:03:48.

school and getting education. They are really happy here. It means

:03:49.:03:57.

great happiness for me because I am a girl who is very brave and strong

:03:58.:04:02.

and know what education is, and the importance of education. Earlier

:04:03.:04:08.

this year the government in Kenya said it would close down this

:04:09.:04:13.

refugee camp. They say it is not safe and want to send some of the

:04:14.:04:18.

families back home to Somalia. Education is a need for them. They

:04:19.:04:22.

want to learn and closing down this camp and not arranging an

:04:23.:04:28.

alternative for them, not arranging separate schools for them in Somalia

:04:29.:04:32.

are here, that would put their lives at risk. They would not be able to

:04:33.:04:35.

follow their dreams and achieve their dreams.

:04:36.:04:39.

separate schools for them in Somalia or here, that

:04:40.:04:41.

They would not be able to follow their dreams and achieve

:04:42.:04:45.

She hopes her visit will help persuade the government in Kenya to

:04:46.:04:51.

allow these girls to carry on getting the education they deserve.

:04:52.:04:52.

That's all from me - Newsround's back right
