Good afternoon. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:03 | |
I'm Leah and this your Sunday afternoon Newsround. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
We'll be telling you about: | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
The beautiful butterflies arriving in Mexico. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
And we've got the latest score from the Davis Cup. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
But first to our top story. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
And we're off to Egypt and the tomb of an ancient king, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
where experts say they've made an exciting discovery. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
I've been finding out more. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:36 | |
This is 3,000-year-old tomb of King Tutankhamun. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
The most intact tomb ever discovered in Egypt. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
It was first uncovered in 1922. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
Close to 2,000 ancient objects were found hidden inside. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
Now experts say they're 90% sure there is a secret room hidden | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
within the boy king's tomb. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Archaeologist Dr Nicholas Reeves made the discovery by studying | 0:00:56 | 0:01:02 | |
detailed scans of the burial chamber, taken by specialists. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
My close examination of these scans highlighted the apparent presence of | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
closed doorways on the west wall, potentially leading to an additional | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
Tutankhamun-period storeroom. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
He believes when King Tutankhamun suddenly died, his remains were | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
rushed into what was originally Queen Nefertiti's tomb for burial. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
And the tomb was then split into two to hold both monarchs. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
But she has never been found. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
Not all Egypt experts are convinced with Dr Reeves' theory. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
So the mystery of Queen Nefertiti still remains. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:40 | |
And next to the tennis where Great Britain are close to winning | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
the Davis Cup for the first time in 79 years. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Team GB already lead Belgium 2-1, needing one more win to take | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
the trophy. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
Here are live pictures of the match happening right now | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
between Andy Murray and Belgium's David Goffin. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Andy is doing really well and is leading the Belgian player | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
by two sets to love. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
If Murray wins, Britain will win the Davis Cup | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
for the first time since 1936. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
And now to Emily, a girl who was so fed up of not seeing cartoon | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
characters with disabilities, she got her arty dad involved | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
and decided to take action. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
Ricky's got this one for us. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:22 | |
Emily is nine years old. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:23 | |
She has a condition called spina bifida, which makes it | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
difficult to move around. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
Like loads of young kids, she loves reading, playing guitar, | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
football and basketball. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
And when she's not busy doing all of that, she's also a superhero. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Dad, Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:44 | |
Dad, Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
And it's in this room where the characters come to life. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
There's five characters and the name of the comic is DOA, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
short for Department of Ability. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
And we've got our own theme tune. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
Emily's dad is obsessed with comics. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
Some of the characters he's created are based on other | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
children with disabilities. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:13 | |
Together, they make up Team Strong Bones. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
The Department of Ability came to life when Emily was born. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
And at the time she started watching television and reading comics, she | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
was looking for something she could relate to, ie, disabled characters. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
And when we couldn't find any, I just set | 0:03:23 | 0:03:25 | |
about designing my own group of superheroes with disabilities that | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
she could read and actually enjoy. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Some shows, I don't really see people in wheelchairs. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
And how does that make you feel? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
Kind of upset. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
The charity Strong Bones is publishing the very first issue of | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
the comic at the start of next year. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
Go, Super Emily! | 0:03:43 | 0:03:48 | |
Thousands of orange and black Monarch butterflies have | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
begun arriving at their winter home in Central Mexico. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
Millions embark on the 4,800 kilometre journey from as far | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
north as Canada, down into Mexico. | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
Experts hope more than 225 million Monarch butterflies will | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
continue to arrive in Mexico each year to enjoy the warm weather. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
It's now time for a roundup of the week's weirdest news from Jenny. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:19 | |
You know what it's like. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
You're standing in front of a crowd of thousands, | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
about to sing the national anthem, and then this happens. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:27 | |
# Australians all let us rejoice...# | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
HE HICCUPS | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
Seven-year-old Ethan got the hiccups while he sang the song | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
before a baseball game in Australia. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
At the end of the song, he ran around the pitch getting | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
high-fives from all the players. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Now to Japan, where more than 120 waiters have taken part | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
in this year's Waiters' Race. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
They had to balance trays of glasses and bottles filled with water while | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
running down a 300-metre course. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Usually, scientists spend their time figuring out really | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
complicated and important things. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
But when they're not doing that, they're using a high-speed video to | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
find out how snot travels through the air when we sneeze. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
Scientists in America discovered that snot moves in different | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
ways once it leaves our noses. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
In sheets, bursts and strings. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
Someone get him a tissue. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
And finally, new pictures of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge have | 0:05:32 | 0:05:35 | |
been released by Kensington Palace. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:36 | |
The snaps were taken by her mum Catherine, | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
the Duchess of Cambridge, at their country retreat in Sandringham. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
The Duke and Duchess say they hope everyone enjoys the photos. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:47 | |
Well, that's your lot for today, but Newsround's back in the morning | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
