Ricky here on a pretty wet Tuesday afternoon! | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
Let's get you up to date. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up on Newsround... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
The girl who's being transformed into a comic book hero. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:14 | |
And the teenager who's demolished a world record. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:24 | |
But first to the city of London, where scientists have made | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
a fascinating discovery. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
By looking at ancient bones, researchers have been able to find | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
out what the very first Londoners looked like. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
London. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
One of the most diverse cities in the world. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
There are millions of people from lots of different backgrounds | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |
living here. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
And it turns out that not much has changed over the past 2000 years. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:56 | |
This is a skeleton of a 14-year-old girl who lived in London thousands | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
of years ago under Roman rule. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
Scientists extracted DNA from her teeth and bones to work out | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
where she was from. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Amazingly, they discovered she grew up in North Africa but her mother | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
was from southern Eastern Europe. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
The DNA test revealed the colour of her eyes, they were blue. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
Her family travelled across the globe to be in London. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:27 | |
Even though this was 2000 years ago, the world is a large place, | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
and we think she may have been part of the military community, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
that her father or husband, even though she was young, she could | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
have been moving with the Army. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:44 | |
Researchers plan to analyse more than 20,000 human remains of ancient | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
Londoners and bones are being kept inside the Museum of London. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:54 | |
This is what the capital looked like 2,000 years ago. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
Scientists say from its beginnings it was a place full of people with | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
different cultures and backgrounds. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
Researchers say they hope to learn a lot more from these skeletons to | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
find out more about the history of this capital city. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:13 | |
Next to the girl who's being turned into a comic hero. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Fed up of not seeing cartoon characters | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
with disabilities, Emily decided to take action and I got to meet her. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:24 | |
Emily is nine years old. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
She has a condition called spina bifida which makes it | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
difficult to move around. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
Like loads of young kids, she loves reading playing guitar, football | 0:02:32 | 0:02:42 | |
and basketball and when she isn't busy doing that, she's a superhero. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:51 | |
Dad Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star and it is here | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
where the characters come to life. | 0:02:54 | 0:03:01 | |
There's five characters and the name of the comic is DOM - | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
Department of Mobility. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
We have our own theme tune. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
They are all disabled apart from the creator. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:20 | |
Emily's dad is obsessed with comics, some of the characters he's created | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
are based on other children with disabilities. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
Together they make up team Strong Bones, the Department of | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
Mobility came to life when Emily was born and she started watching TV. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
She was looking for something she could relate to, disabled characters | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
and when we couldn't find any, I set about designing my own super | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
heroes with disabilities she could read and enjoy. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
Some shows I don't really see people in wheelchairs. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
How does that make you feel? | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Upset. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
The Charity Strong Bones is publishing the first issue of the | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
comic at the start of next year. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
Go Super Emily! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:07 | |
Sticking with superhumans, meet 16 year old weightlifter Rebekah Tiler. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
She started the sport at just 12 years old and | 0:04:11 | 0:04:13 | |
on Wednesday she'll be the youngest member of the GB team competing | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
at the senior world weightlifting championships in the US. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
This is what she thinks of people who still reckon | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
weightlifting is a men's sport. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
Everyone thinks it is a body-building sport, big muscles | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
and hairy and everything like men! | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
But it is nothing like that. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
Come back at 0740 tomorrow morning for Rebekah's full story. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
