Martin here with your Saturday headlines: you've told us what you

:00:00.:00:00.

think of the new Strictly presenter taking over from Brucie, and the

:00:07.:00:10.

15-year-old girl on course to be the most successful British weightlifter

:00:11.:00:11.

of all time. This is Newsround. The Galapagos Islands, off the coast

:00:12.:00:25.

of South America, are famous for their rare species of wildlife and

:00:26.:00:28.

are considered an area of natural beauty. But a large goods ship from

:00:29.:00:32.

nearby Ecuador ran aground on rocks there yesterday. Even though the

:00:33.:00:36.

ship is carrying thousands of litres of diesel oil, authorities say that

:00:37.:00:40.

the storage tanks are not at risk of spilling fuel at the moment. They

:00:41.:00:45.

are making plans for what to do in case the situation changes.

:00:46.:00:48.

Formula One next, and Lewis Hamilton was second fastest earlier in the

:00:49.:00:52.

final practice session at the Spanish Grand Prix. The Brit came

:00:53.:00:56.

first in yesterday's first two practice runs but was slightly

:00:57.:00:59.

slower than his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg this morning. So far,

:01:00.:01:04.

Hamilton has had a dream season, winning the last three races, and he

:01:05.:01:08.

is happy with how his car feels this weekend. Getting back into it. It

:01:09.:01:12.

feels like a bit of a long break, so to get back in the car and feel a

:01:13.:01:17.

positive step forward from the team. A big thank you to everyone back at

:01:18.:01:21.

the factory for all the hard work, because the car is feeling better

:01:22.:01:24.

ths weekend. Next, a man in a hamster wheel, a

:01:25.:01:28.

bearded lady, and twins with intertwining hair: it's the

:01:29.:01:31.

Eurovision Song Contest tonight, with all the drama taking place on

:01:32.:01:44.

BBC One from eight o'clock. Here's the BBC's Sophie Van Brugen.

:01:45.:01:53.

On this stage later on, the countries will battle it out. If you

:01:54.:02:05.

months ago, this was a disused shipyard. The favourites Sweden,

:02:06.:02:11.

Armenia and the Netherlands, but the act that has got everyone talking is

:02:12.:02:20.

the bearded lady from Austria. The UK hasn't won the competition for

:02:21.:02:26.

quite a few years. This year it is Molly. Until yesterday, I was all

:02:27.:02:36.

right and then I had a thought of, oh God, and you need that to keep

:02:37.:02:43.

you on your toes. I want to look back and feel I did my best. It is

:02:44.:02:50.

about representing my son in the best way possible, so there is

:02:51.:02:55.

pressure on me from me for that. I have stiff competition. I need to

:02:56.:03:03.

get off the stage so they can give it a final polish. It is on BBC One

:03:04.:03:07.

at bit later on. Also, loads and loads of you are

:03:08.:03:48.

saying that Anton Du Beke would have been a better choice.

:03:49.:03:57.

15-year-old Rebekah Tiler is already Britain's strongest schoolgirl and

:03:58.:04:00.

could become Great Britain's most successful female weightlifter ever.

:04:01.:04:03.

She has broken over 100 British records and this weekend competes

:04:04.:04:05.

against grown-ups in the British seniors. She is building up to

:04:06.:04:09.

Glasgow's Commonwealth Games. But it's difficult: Rebekah has to fit

:04:10.:04:12.

her training around school. BBC Breakfast's Mike Bushell has been to

:04:13.:04:14.

meet her. The powerhouse smashing

:04:15.:04:16.

weightlifting records and the schoolgirl. Rebekah's home is a

:04:17.:04:22.

shrine to weightlifting. We've got her sisters here. They're all

:04:23.:04:25.

getting into the sport as well, Emily, Lisa and Sophie. Here's

:04:26.:04:29.

Rebekah. Hi, Rebekah. Hi, girls, you all right? Not much time, though, to

:04:30.:04:32.

say hello to her sisters, because she's got to go in with Mum and Dad,

:04:33.:04:36.

finish the cooking, get the steaks on. No skimping on tea: it's very

:04:37.:04:40.

important, the diet, because within an hour, five days a week, she's

:04:41.:04:43.

back out for training again. What do your schoolmates reckon to

:04:44.:04:46.

it? Yeah, they think it's quite cool. Teachers are, like, "Oh, well

:04:47.:04:50.

done, Rebekah," and the boys like to arm-wrestle me. I'm really proud of

:04:51.:04:54.

her. Has it inspired you to have a go as well? Yeah, we do it down at

:04:55.:04:59.

the gym. I do it three times a week. It's a family trip to the gym, then,

:05:00.:05:03.

where even five-year-old Emily, in the middle here, starts training

:05:04.:05:06.

next year and where I saw just why Rebekah was persuaded to switch from

:05:07.:05:09.

sprinting to weights when she was younger. She's broken over a hundred

:05:10.:05:13.

British records already and can get 123 kilograms above her head in one

:05:14.:05:20.

go. That's over 19 stone. HE STRAINS.

:05:21.:05:25.

It's not even moving! Normally, before a competition I

:05:26.:05:29.

just go blank, and I just lift the weights, and it happens. Really?

:05:30.:05:34.

Yeah! It was hard at first, but then, when I got into it, it just

:05:35.:05:39.

came easy for me. And it's only the start. With funding from UK Sport

:05:40.:05:42.

secure, and with her sisters hot on her heels, Rebecca's hoping to raise

:05:43.:05:48.

the bar further than ever before. That's all from me, but I'm back

:05:49.:05:52.

just before two. See you then. Don't forget to check out the website for
