:00:13. > :00:20.up: Find out why these guys are buzzing around Parliament.

:00:20. > :00:23.And which Royal muggle is the most magic?

:00:23. > :00:25.First, to Bangladesh in south Asia, where there have been violent

:00:26. > :00:30.demonstrations in the capital, Dhaka, in protest at the poor

:00:30. > :00:33.working conditions in the country's huge clothing business. More than

:00:33. > :00:37.300 people are now known to have died when an eight-storey building

:00:37. > :00:40.collapsed on Wednesday. Some people have been found alive today, but

:00:41. > :00:44.it's feared many more are still trapped under the rubble. The

:00:44. > :00:47.disaster has shed a light on an industry which supplies many of our

:00:47. > :00:53.clothes, and raised questions about the price being paid by those making

:00:53. > :00:56.them. Cutting, stitching and ironing. This

:00:56. > :00:59.is just one of the many factories in Bangladesh which makes clothes for

:00:59. > :01:02.shops in the West. It's an attractive option for high street

:01:02. > :01:08.companies here because wages are lower, so it costs them, and

:01:08. > :01:11.therefore us, the shoppers, less. In Victorian times, the area around

:01:11. > :01:16.Manchester was at the heart of the cotton industry and most of our

:01:16. > :01:19.clothes were made from the material produced there. Back then, many

:01:19. > :01:24.thousands of people worked in factories like these, often in harsh

:01:24. > :01:27.conditions. Over the last 100 years that's steadily changed, and much of

:01:27. > :01:35.what we wear is now made in countries thousands of miles away,

:01:35. > :01:41.because it's actually cheaper for companies to produce it there. So do

:01:41. > :01:46.you know where your outfit has come from? You're wearing something from

:01:46. > :01:51.a different country. It is surprising that someone else has the

:01:51. > :01:58.clothes before you Wear them. good and they are weak -- making the

:01:58. > :02:03.close. If you see them, they are coming from a poor country and you

:02:03. > :02:06.think about how many hours they are making the close four. As this

:02:06. > :02:08.week's disaster has shown, conditions in clothes factories in

:02:08. > :02:12.poorer countries like Bangladesh can sometimes be very unsafe, though

:02:12. > :02:15.many big shops here do have rules which try to make sure that people

:02:15. > :02:21.working for them are treated well and get a fair wage. The company

:02:21. > :02:24.savvy huge amount of power to make it so that it is taken much more

:02:24. > :02:27.seriously. Bangladesh is now the second-largest exporter of clothes

:02:27. > :02:30.in the world, with around 3.6 million people there working in the

:02:30. > :02:39.clothing industry. These jobs are a very important part of how the

:02:39. > :02:42.country makes money. The challenge is how to make them safer.

:02:42. > :02:44.The Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has decided NOT to appeal against

:02:44. > :02:47.the ten-match ban he's got for biting another player. Suarez was

:02:47. > :02:50.given the punishment for biting the Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic

:02:50. > :02:56.on the arm during a match last weekend. He'll now miss the rest of

:02:56. > :02:59.this season and the first six games of next season.

:02:59. > :03:02.More than 100 people protested outside Parliament today, calling

:03:02. > :03:07.for a ban on the use of some pesticides - which they say are

:03:07. > :03:10.harming bees. Pesticides are used to protect crops from insects, but the

:03:10. > :03:13.campaigners - some of them dressed as bees and bee-keepers - say the

:03:13. > :03:18.chemicals they contain are having a damaging effect on bees and their

:03:18. > :03:22.ability to pollinate. Bee populations in the UK have fallen

:03:22. > :03:28.dramatically in recent years. But the Government says there isn't

:03:28. > :03:31.enough scientific proof to stop the pesticides from being used.

:03:31. > :03:34.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry, have been visiting

:03:34. > :03:39.the home of another famous Harry - Harry Potter - at the Warner

:03:39. > :03:44.Brothers studios in Watford. The trio toured the set of the movie

:03:44. > :03:49.series, and Will and Kate even had a go at casting a spell. Let's see how

:03:49. > :03:53.the Royal muggles got on. One Harry, but no Ron or Hermione.

:03:53. > :03:57.Today's big stars on the Potter set were this Royal trio. William, Kate

:03:57. > :04:00.and Harry were here to officially open the Warner Brothers Studios. On

:04:00. > :04:04.their special ,tour they met author JK Rowling, checked out costumes and

:04:04. > :04:08.props from the movie series and Wills and Kate even had a go at

:04:08. > :04:13.casting a spell! Joining them were hundreds of children connected to

:04:13. > :04:23.the charities they support. The Duke even revealed his favourite Potter

:04:23. > :04:24.

:04:24. > :04:27.movie. Warner Brothers also make Batman, and William couldn't resist

:04:27. > :04:30.getting on the caped crusader's motorbike or inside the Tumbler from

:04:30. > :04:34.the last film, Dark Knight Rises. I'm over the moon to have seen the

:04:34. > :04:36.real Batmobile and Batpod. Harry's just excited to see a real life

:04:36. > :04:39.talking owl in the Harry Potter films.

:04:39. > :04:44.Now, if JK Rowling ever writes any more Harry Potter books, we know who

:04:44. > :04:48.we think should be first in line for the starring roles.
