up: Find out why these guys are buzzing around Parliament.

:00:13.:00:20.

And which Royal muggle is the most magic?

:00:20.:00:23.

First, to Bangladesh in south Asia, where there have been violent

:00:23.:00:25.

demonstrations in the capital, Dhaka, in protest at the poor

:00:26.:00:30.

working conditions in the country's huge clothing business. More than

:00:30.:00:33.

300 people are now known to have died when an eight-storey building

:00:33.:00:37.

collapsed on Wednesday. Some people have been found alive today, but

:00:37.:00:40.

it's feared many more are still trapped under the rubble. The

:00:41.:00:44.

disaster has shed a light on an industry which supplies many of our

:00:44.:00:47.

clothes, and raised questions about the price being paid by those making

:00:47.:00:53.

them. Cutting, stitching and ironing. This

:00:53.:00:56.

is just one of the many factories in Bangladesh which makes clothes for

:00:56.:00:59.

shops in the West. It's an attractive option for high street

:00:59.:01:02.

companies here because wages are lower, so it costs them, and

:01:02.:01:08.

therefore us, the shoppers, less. In Victorian times, the area around

:01:08.:01:11.

Manchester was at the heart of the cotton industry and most of our

:01:11.:01:16.

clothes were made from the material produced there. Back then, many

:01:16.:01:19.

thousands of people worked in factories like these, often in harsh

:01:19.:01:24.

conditions. Over the last 100 years that's steadily changed, and much of

:01:24.:01:27.

what we wear is now made in countries thousands of miles away,

:01:27.:01:35.

because it's actually cheaper for companies to produce it there. So do

:01:35.:01:41.

you know where your outfit has come from? You're wearing something from

:01:41.:01:46.

a different country. It is surprising that someone else has the

:01:46.:01:51.

clothes before you Wear them. good and they are weak -- making the

:01:51.:01:58.

close. If you see them, they are coming from a poor country and you

:01:58.:02:03.

think about how many hours they are making the close four. As this

:02:03.:02:06.

week's disaster has shown, conditions in clothes factories in

:02:06.:02:08.

poorer countries like Bangladesh can sometimes be very unsafe, though

:02:08.:02:12.

many big shops here do have rules which try to make sure that people

:02:12.:02:15.

working for them are treated well and get a fair wage. The company

savvy huge amount of power to make it so that it is taken much more

:02:21.:02:24.

seriously. Bangladesh is now the second-largest exporter of clothes

:02:24.:02:27.

in the world, with around 3.6 million people there working in the

:02:27.:02:30.

clothing industry. These jobs are a very important part of how the

:02:30.:02:39.

country makes money. The challenge is how to make them safer.

:02:39.:02:42.

The Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has decided NOT to appeal against

:02:42.:02:44.

the ten-match ban he's got for biting another player. Suarez was

:02:44.:02:47.

given the punishment for biting the Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic

:02:47.:02:50.

on the arm during a match last weekend. He'll now miss the rest of

:02:50.:02:56.

this season and the first six games of next season.

:02:56.:02:59.

More than 100 people protested outside Parliament today, calling

:02:59.:03:02.

for a ban on the use of some pesticides - which they say are

:03:02.:03:07.

harming bees. Pesticides are used to protect crops from insects, but the

:03:07.:03:10.

campaigners - some of them dressed as bees and bee-keepers - say the

:03:10.:03:13.

chemicals they contain are having a damaging effect on bees and their

:03:13.:03:18.

ability to pollinate. Bee populations in the UK have fallen

:03:18.:03:22.

dramatically in recent years. But the Government says there isn't

:03:22.:03:28.

enough scientific proof to stop the pesticides from being used.

:03:28.:03:31.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Harry, have been visiting

:03:31.:03:34.

the home of another famous Harry - Harry Potter - at the Warner

:03:34.:03:39.

Brothers studios in Watford. The trio toured the set of the movie

:03:39.:03:44.

series, and Will and Kate even had a go at casting a spell. Let's see how

:03:44.:03:49.

the Royal muggles got on. One Harry, but no Ron or Hermione.

:03:49.:03:53.

Today's big stars on the Potter set were this Royal trio. William, Kate

:03:53.:03:57.

and Harry were here to officially open the Warner Brothers Studios. On

:03:57.:04:00.

their special ,tour they met author JK Rowling, checked out costumes and

:04:00.:04:04.

props from the movie series and Wills and Kate even had a go at

:04:04.:04:08.

casting a spell! Joining them were hundreds of children connected to

:04:08.:04:13.

the charities they support. The Duke even revealed his favourite Potter

:04:13.:04:23.
:04:23.:04:24.

movie. Warner Brothers also make Batman, and William couldn't resist

:04:24.:04:27.

getting on the caped crusader's motorbike or inside the Tumbler from

:04:27.:04:30.

the last film, Dark Knight Rises. I'm over the moon to have seen the

:04:30.:04:34.

real Batmobile and Batpod. Harry's just excited to see a real life

:04:34.:04:36.

talking owl in the Harry Potter films.

:04:36.:04:39.

Now, if JK Rowling ever writes any more Harry Potter books, we know who

:04:39.:04:44.

we think should be first in line for the starring roles.
