$:/STARTFEED. Hello and welcome to the weekend. We have got some | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
action-packed news. I well have all the details on the world's fastest | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
horse. The boy who slept through a car | :00:24. | :00:31. | |
crashing into his bedroom. And Felix Baumgartner's record- | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
:00:41. | :00:50. | ||
breaking jump get the Lago First, to the fastest horse on the | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
planet, Frankel. He has never been beaten and tomorrow he is looking | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
for the 14th and perhaps the final win of his career at Ascot. | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
He is the greatest racehorse of all time. What makes him so special? | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
He is the world's fastest horse who has won all 13 of his races by an | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
average of around 14 metres. That is why in the world of Horseracing | :01:17. | :01:26. | |
he has been given the nickname Usain Colt. He is an amazing animal. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
He is the Usain Bolt of horse racing. He is a superstar, he has | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
got a great presence and he has got the will to win, what most of the | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
great athletes have. He is almost twice as fast as the Jamaican | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
sprinter with a top speed of 43 miles an hour. Manchester United | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
midfielder Tom Cleverley reckons he is like as the are no Ronaldo, but | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
big, strong, tall, imposing and very fast. What is his secret? His | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
stride is longer than other racehorses. At seven metres it can | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
stretch to the length of a minibus. He can also accelerate like a | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Formula One car and can pull out in front of the rest of the field. He | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
needs a lot of fuel, eating 14 times more calories than an adult | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
man. But this weekend is expected to be the last time he races. When | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
he retires he will be worth around �100 million. What is next for him? | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
He could become a racing pundit, launch his own fashion range or | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
even settle down to write his autobiography. But it will be an | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
emotional day for the sport when the race horse that has been called | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
the greatest ever bow was out in front of 30 -- 32,000 people | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
tomorrow. I do not think horses can apply, | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
but it is that time again, BBC Sports Personality of the Year. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
judging line-up has been announced. Last year when Mark Cavendish won | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
there was a row because all the judges were men. This time the | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
panel is half the men and half women, including Sir Steve Redgrave, | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and Denise Lewis. They will all be | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
deciding who gets nominated. good is your memory? A record | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
number of people have been taking part in an experiment all about how | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
well we remember things. The more than 1000 people were given a short | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
list of words to remember. sounds easy, but sometimes your | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
brain can play funny tricks on you. There might be a test at the end. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
These children are learning all about the mind and are putting | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
their brains to the test as part of a memory experiments. I will read | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
out a list of words which I want you to remember and later on I will | :03:56. | :04:04. | |
ask you a question. Bed, a wake, rest, snooze, blanket, dream, tired, | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
yawn, snorer and drowsy. 1000 people in different locations were | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
tested. Scientists are hoping to find out more about memory | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
conditions like dementia. The test has been designed by Professor | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
Bruce Hood from the University of Bristol. He says memory is not | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
always reliable. Memories are not like recordings, but are | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
reconstructed from information we feed into it. Did I say the word | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
:04:45. | :04:46. | ||
rest? Yes. Dream? Yes. Sleep? No, I did not, but you are not alone if | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
you got it wrong. Eight out of 10 people think they heard the words | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
sleep. It is because the brain links words into groups. Because | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
they are all to do with sleeping the brain tricksy in to thinking | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
that you have heard of it. caught me out when he said sleep | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
because I thought it was because they are related to that word. | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
sounded like it should be there. Even their teacher thought he | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
remembered the words sleep, but the older you are either more likely | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
you are to get this test wrong. Your class would not mind you being | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
forgetful, especially when it comes to homework. | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
That was hard. In showbiz a lot of people are | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
saying and nine-year-old girl who auditioned for a film in her local | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
library could win Hollywood's top award. Quvenzhane Wallis could | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
become the youngest ever Oscar winner after getting great reviews | :05:47. | :05:54. | |
in the latest movie Beasts of the Southern Wild. You look down at | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
yourself and you are small and you really do not think that is true, | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
you think you are in a dream. it she does not win, she will have | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
a great career, but getting into acting is not easy. Going to top | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
drama schools is really expensive, so I went to investigate, including | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
meeting an actress who set up recourse is to encourage kids to | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
take up the art. These guys are at stage school | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
because they want to fulfil their dreams of becoming actors, but | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
should classes like this not be available for everybody? Rebecca | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
Ferguson shot to fame after winning the X Factor, but it was not easy | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
getting there. When I was younger it was really | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
expensive and I got a job at 14 and I used that money to go towards | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
dancing lessons and singing lessons. I think it is a shame people cannot | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
get it a lot cheaper. Charlotte has been an actress for 40 years, but | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
now is offering a free school to kids who cannot afford it. Tell me | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
about your idea. It is for students on long been -- low income families. | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
We believe students from those backgrounds are going to think more | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
than twice about taking on a lot of student debt. But at this school | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
they have a mix of students. Some pay fees and others get a free | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
place. Lots of people say stage school is only for privileged kids | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
who can afford to come. Is that the case? No, we have scholarships, | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
some are schools, holiday courses, so it is possible to come. If he | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
wants to pursue your acting career, then sometimes it takes a leap of | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
faith. Even if you do not have the money, places that see you have the | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
potential will give you a scholarship. It comes down to | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
talent. Yes, as long as you have got the talent and you are | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
determined, you will make it. Sometimes we find it hard to get up | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
in the morning, but even I would not have slept through this. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
year-old Ben from North X let through a car crashing through his | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
bedroom wall. The car sent bricks and rubble flying, but he was not | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
hurt and said he only woke up when he heard his mum shouting. | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
Felix Baumgartner is having an amazing week. He jumped from the | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
edge of space. It is because he has been made out of Lego. His | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
incredible jump from 24 miles up has been recreated using Lego. It | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
has got the balloon and even a Hamnett camera. That is a thorough | :08:48. | :08:54. |
