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 | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
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. | :04:44. | :04:48. |
