BTN: Episode 27 Transcript 18/9/18

Hey, welcome to BTN, I’m Amelia. Coming up today.

• We look into worries that some of our honey might not be coming from bees.

• Why many kids are now being taught how to spot fake news in school.

• And we celebrate World Afro Day with Rookie Reporter Christina.

Kids’ Rights Survey Results

Reporter: Ruby Cornish

INTRO: Yep. We're learning all about afros. You can see that and much more soon, but first. 22,000 of you, our BTN viewers, recently took the time to tell us all about your rights here in Australia. It was for a very good reason. The National Children's Commissioner wants to give the data to the United Nations. Let's find out what you said.

Our Kids’ Rights Survey was all about finding out how you guys feel about your rights as a kid. Your rights are basically the things you're entitled to no matter your religion, race, abilities, culture, class or gender. We wanted to know about a bunch of different rights, including ones to do with where you live, go to school, how you're treated, your health and the environment. We asked and more than 22,000 of you answered. So, thanks for that. You guys are awesome. All in all, you seem to agree that you have good access to your rights, especially being able to breathe clean air, being cared for and having a home, feeling safe and getting an education.

STUDENT: There's a lot of resources that schools use to create better education for children.

STUDENT: Some other places still believe in the old-fashioned way that girls can't come to school, and that makes Australia a better place.

But the results also revealed something a bit worrying. Those of you who don't speak English at home are less likely to feel like you have access to all of your rights. So, it seems where you or your family come from can have a real impact on how it feels to grow up here in Australia.

STUDENT: Some parents come from third world countries and their rights are completely different to what we think our rights should be right now.

STUDENT: I can definitely relate because I've dealt with racism before and I think it's just because kids don't really know what it's like to come from another country and deal with the racism.

When it comes to having a say in decisions that affect you, most of you agree that the places you most often get a chance to do that are at home and school.

STUDENT: I think I learn them mostly from my teachers or my parents.

STUDENT: I think at school doing assignments and inquiries on governments and rights and stuff.

But online, it's a different story. Nearly 80% of you don't feel like you get to participate in decisions that affect you online. Overall, you think Australia's doing a good job at making kids feel safe.

STUDENT: We've got a lot of police officers around and other safety measures.

And also at keeping you healthy.

STUDENT: They provide a lot of immunisations free to children under four and five and we have a whole range of medicines that are available.

But there's still room for improvement. Nearly 1 in 5 of you reckon Australia should be doing more to make sure kids are treated fairly and get to have a say about things that are important to them.

STUDENT: There are some kids out there who are very intelligent, they know a lot about government and how things work, and they should be able to have a say.

Well, some good news. The results of this survey are going to do just that. In November our Children's Rights Commissioner is going to deliver the results straight to the United Nations to help them understand what's being done to take care of kids here in Oz.

MEGAN MITCHELL, CHILDREN’S COMMISSIONER: This will be the first time that we’ve ever had this kind of input from kids around Australia.

STUDENT: I think it's a really good opportunity. We get to have more of a say and share our ideas and stuff.

STUDENT: They can work on what kids want, not what they think kids want.

STUDENT: Kids think quite alike, they're a lot like minded, so it's like me having a say in what's happening.

This Week in News

Jack here with the week's headlines.

First up, this week will be a big one for those fighting whaling. The International Whaling Commission will meet in Brazil and reps from 88 countries will vote on whether or not to change the ban on commercial whaling that's been in place for 30 years.

Japan wants to change the rules so that its whalers can hunt certain species as long as there are healthy populations and they don't take too many.

But the Australian government, along with many others, wants the ban to stay. It also wants the Whaling Commission to stop letting Japan hunt whales for scientific research.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has snapped its own selfie. These images were taken last month, and shows the little rover looking a bit dirty thanks to dust left on it from a recent storm.

As you can see in the images, the little rover's fitted out with 17 cameras, a robotic arm with specialised tools to drill for rock samples. And it's still going strong.

And finally, underground miners in outback Western Australia have struck gold, literally.

They've unearthed more than $15 million worth of gold in four days which geologists reckon was a "once in a life time discovery". The largest piece weighs around 90 kilos and took three men to lift onto the back of a ute.

Fake Honey

Reporter: Jack Evans

INTRO: Next up today. An investigation has uncovered evidence that some popular honey products on our supermarket shelves might contain stuff that isn't from bees. Let's find out more about this sticky situation and why it might've happened.

It's the news that's rocked the nation.

JACK: The honey's fake?

So maybe my reaction was a little dramatic.

JACK: No, no, no, no, what am I doing?

But if you're a honey lover, like me, it's pretty disappointing to find out that some of the honey in our supermarkets might not be 100 percent pure. Now I know what you're thinking, how can this be-eeee? Well, let's start at the bee-ginning.

As you probably know, honey comes from these little guys. They take the nectar in flowers and mix it with enzymes and proteins in their stomach. Then once back in their hive the bees spew it back up and bee keepers collect it. The end result is bee vomit. Otherwise known as yummy, runny honey. Yeah, try not to think too much about the whole vomit thing.

But recently an international testing lab that specialises in honey fraud detection, yes that's a real thing, did a bunch of tests on lots of honey products sold in Aussie supermarkets. And they found that nearly half of the honey tested had been mixed with something other than nectar from bees.

You see, some companies in Australia use a mix of Aussie honey and imported honey. Experts say some of that honey imported from overseas might have been mixed with other sugary substances like corn, rice or beet syrup. All that stuff is much cheaper to make than real honey. So, while that means who ever sold it would have made more money it also means honey-loving shoppers aren't getting what they paid for.

ROBERT COSTA: CHAIRMAN, COSTA ASSET MANAGEMENT: There are probably half a dozen different ways you can cut, dilute, blend honey in order to cut costs.

These experts say it's likely the Aussie companies that imported this honey had no idea that this was going on. Australia's biggest honey maker, Capilano, was one of the companies caught up in this investigation. It's denied that any of its products are mixed with anything but pure honey. And it's criticised the type of test used saying that it's always met Australian standards and passed Australian testing. IGA, another company identified, says its honey meets Aussie standards. While supermarket chain ALDI says it'll look into the claims.

The law firm that paid for the tests says there needs to be a bigger investigation to make sure honey fans can be confident their favourite spread is all sweet.

JACK: Next you're going to tell me this giant apple is fake.

RUBY: Jack that giant apple is fake.

JACK: Oh, well yes, I knew that.

Media Literacy

Reporter: Amelia Moseley

INTRO: Okay. Back in the day people used to get most of their news from papers, radio or TV bulletins. Now, pretty much anyone can put info out there online. Sometimes that's a good thing, other times not so much. To help you sort fact from fiction, ABC Education and the team from BTN have created some special videos and other fun resources for Media Literacy Week this week. But why is it important to learn these skills anyway? Take a look.

From the moment you wake up in the morning, all the way to when you go to bed at night, you’re consuming media. You're taking in videos, TV shows, movies, social media, books, games, magazines, ads and, of course, news and it's all feeding you information.

KID 1: I look at Instagram while I'm eating breakfast usually.

KID 4: Usually it's YouTube and sometimes I watch the news.

KID 2: I consume media for about an hour and a half per day.

KID 4: YouTube I'm probably on for about two hours a day.

But not all of that info is necessarily good info. And that's why experts are worried that you guys might not have the skills to help you understand and analyse all of the stuff you're seeing.

For instance, do you think you can tell the difference between real news and fake news? If you think you can, that's great. Give yourself a pat on the back but you might want to be really, really sure about that because studies show that on some social media sites, fake news spreads further and faster than real news. Even adults often struggle to tell the difference.

There are other problems that can be even harder to spot like, can you tell when something or someone in the media is biased? That's basically like leaning towards an opinion about something without taking in all of the facts. Bias in the media can be obvious but it can also be pretty subtle, and it can have a big impact on our opinions.

Finally, do you know when something's an ad? This one seems easy, after all they're simple to spot on TV. But advertisers are pretty clever about getting people to buy things. Now they use social media posts, articles, blogs and videos to sell things and it's not always easy to tell when someone's been paid to promote a product.

This is why a lot of people and organisations are now talking about media literacy. It's basically like any other kind of literacy, like learning to read. But this kind, is about learning to read between the lines of everything you see, hear or read.

So next time you're consuming your favourite kind of media, remember to stop and question whether the info you're getting is disgustingly dodgy or deliciously correct and fair.

Media Literacy Promo

And as we said earlier, if you want to get stuck into making yourself or your class media literate, just head to the BTN website and click on this link. It'll take you through to heaps of videos and resources. Here's a quick taste.

Boys Netball

Reporter: Jack Evans

INTRO: Moving to the netball court now. It's often seen as a female sport but now Netball South Australia is trying to encourage more boys to give it a go. It's launched a boy’s academy program and there are plans for a four-team competition. Here's more.

The minute these guys hit the court they knew netball was their game

BRAYDEN: When I first tried it, it was really, really fun.

TOMMY: I said that looks really easy, can I have a go? And I had a go and I've played ever since.

And up until last year, they've been able to play netball in a mixed junior comp. But now they're too old.

BRAYDEN: Boys can only play up to 12 if they get over then they're not allowed to play anymore.

Unlike the girls there's no competition for boys aged 12 to 16. But that's something Netball South Australia is hoping to change. This year they launched a new boys academy.

TOMMY: Yeah, it’s great to be able to play against another couple of boys I've never played against boys prior to this because I’m usually playing in mixed.

And next month these guys will take part in the first ever Junior Boys M League for 12 to 16-year olds.

LIZZIE BERMINGHAM, NETBALL SA: We're really focused on the boys and opportunities for them at the moment.

But despite how much these guys love the game, Netball SA says that the biggest challenge will be getting more boys involved. They say that a lot of people often associate netball as a game for just the girls, including some of the friends of these guys.

TOMMY: Well most of them say what the heck are you doing with your life and get over it.

BRAYDEN: There's no way I would be able to get my mates into it.

LIZZIE BERMINGHAM, NETBALL SA: We are really realistic. One of the biggest challenges we experienced so far is the perception that netball is a sport for girls and women.

Netball SA says that netball is a sport that can be played by anyone and that it doesn't matter whether you're a girl or a boy just as long as you love playing it. But what do you think? Would you like to see more boys take to the netball courts?

KID 1: I think anyone can do whatever sport they want to and if they enjoy it then it doesn't really matter.

KID 2: It's probably more of a girl’s sport than boys because there are more girl’s teams.

KID 3: Of course, it should be open to both genders, but it’s more traditionally played with girls.

KID 4: We're not back in the old days where it's boys are better than girls or like girls do other things and boys do other things. Boys and girls can do the same things whenever they want.

Did You Know?

Wet paper bags were used instead of nets in the first few games of netball ever held. That was in England back in 1895. The game was designed as a version of basketball that could be played while wearing long skirts.

Sport

Naomi Osaka has won the women's singles at the US Open.

It's the first time a Japanese woman has ever won the event.

But most of the attention has been on her opponent Serena Williams who got into a big fight on court with the chair umpire.

It all started when Serena was given a warning for receiving coaching during the game which isn't allowed.

SERENA WILLIAMS: I understand why you thought that was coaching but I'm telling you it's not, I don't cheat to win, I'd rather lose. I'm just letting you know.

Then during the second set Serena smashed her racquet and was docked a point.

SERENA WILLIAMS: You stole a point from me, you're a thief too!

To which the ref then gave her a whole game penalty.

Serena says she was judged more harshly for what she said because she's a woman and that male players get away with saying things that are much worse.

But some say she was behaving badly.

Despite the controversy, this new champion was thrilled to have beaten her idol.

NAOMI: I know for sure if I was in the crowd I would have been pulling for Serena too, so I’m really grateful they were so kind to me and it was my first Grand Slam so I was very thankful for that.

Meanwhile, Aussie Ashleigh Barty took out her maiden grand slam title winning the women's doubles with American CoCo Vandeweghe.

And another Aussie, Dylan Alcott, also had a big win taking out his second US Open wheelchair men's singles title.

And last up, Italian Moto2 rider Romano Fenati has been banned for two races after this bewilderingly dangerous move.

Fenati leaned over and grabbed the brake lever on rival Stefano Manzi's bike while they were going around 225ks an hour.

Manzi managed to keep his bike under control, while Fenati was disqualified from the race and banned from the next two.

World Afro Day

Rookie Reporter: Christina

INTRO: Finally, today, there are heaps of people all over the world who have afro hair. There's even a whole day coming up that's dedicated to it, World Afro Day. But here in Australia, it's not the most common hair type aside from me of course. Here's curly-haired Christina to tell us more about it.

Hi, BTN. My name's Christina and today I'm gonna tell you a bit about afro hair. As you can see, my hair's big and curly. And I'm not the only one. There are literally millions and millions of people around the world who have afro hair.

It's called that because most people with this hair type have black African origins. Sometimes their parents or grandparents are from there or they can trace it waaaaaay back to their ancestors. How I got my curly hair is because my dad he comes from Kenya in Africa. My mum's Australian and her dad's from England.

What was my hair like over the years?

TINA'S MUM: Well when you were born it was straight and very short, but black kinda coloured and then after about four months it went boom and it started to curl up.

That got me wondering why does my hair actually curl?

Well, all hair is made up of stuff called keratin. If you looked really, really closely at a strand of my hair under a microscope, you would see that the follicle (that's this bit under the skin) is a different shape to a straight hair follicle. That makes it do different things like bending and bunching up and it grows out at a different angle. Afro hair strands do all of those things big time. It can also be more dry and fine than straight hair strands which is why it can take time to style and there are lots of different ways to do that.

For centuries, people have been carefully styling their afro hair. For some people, it's a way of expressing themselves and their culture. My parents have always helped me do my hair.

TINA'S MUM: We probably spend maybe an hour or two every week doing your hair.

TINA'S MUM: Unfortunately, this year I was a bit busy at work and I forgot it was the school photo day, so your photo this year we didn't get to get the whole headshot in to see if it would fit inside the frame.

Sometimes we try new styles and once I had a ponytail here and then it was straight, and I looked like a clown, so we never tried that one again.

Perpetua goes to my school and she prefers to braid her afro hair.

PERPETUA: I braid my hair because it's easier and if it's in an afro it takes more time and gets too knotty. When I do it in braids, I just leave it and it won’t be as knotty and I don't have to brush my hair as much.

Sometimes people get a bit too curious about it. When people touch my hair, sometimes I get really annoyed especially when I'm in class and every time I'm at the shops someone at least touches my hair. I would say please stop it and sometimes I would say you can touch my hair, but just be a bit gentler.

I love my afro hair and I know lots of other kids and adults love theirs too.

PERPETUA: It makes me feel happy, as well as unique to have different hair to others.

MARWANN: Everyone's different and if you're trying to fit, just be yourself. Just have fun and play around with your hair.

Closer

Thanks Christina. And that brings us to the end of today's show. But as always, there's heaps of interesting stuff to keep you entertained on our website. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next week.
