Good afternoon.

0:00:030:00:03

I'm Leah and this your Sunday afternoon Newsround.

0:00:030:00:06

We'll be telling you about:

0:00:060:00:07

The beautiful butterflies arriving in Mexico.

0:00:070:00:10

And we've got the latest score from the Davis Cup.

0:00:100:00:15

But first to our top story.

0:00:250:00:27

And we're off to Egypt and the tomb of an ancient king,

0:00:270:00:29

where experts say they've made an exciting discovery.

0:00:290:00:31

I've been finding out more.

0:00:310:00:36

This is 3,000-year-old tomb of King Tutankhamun.

0:00:360:00:39

The most intact tomb ever discovered in Egypt.

0:00:390:00:43

It was first uncovered in 1922.

0:00:430:00:47

Close to 2,000 ancient objects were found hidden inside.

0:00:470:00:49

Now experts say they're 90% sure there is a secret room hidden

0:00:490:00:52

within the boy king's tomb.

0:00:520:00:56

Archaeologist Dr Nicholas Reeves made the discovery by studying

0:00:560:01:02

detailed scans of the burial chamber, taken by specialists.

0:01:020:01:07

My close examination of these scans highlighted the apparent presence of

0:01:070:01:11

closed doorways on the west wall, potentially leading to an additional

0:01:110:01:14

Tutankhamun-period storeroom.

0:01:140:01:18

He believes when King Tutankhamun suddenly died, his remains were

0:01:180:01:21

rushed into what was originally Queen Nefertiti's tomb for burial.

0:01:210:01:23

And the tomb was then split into two to hold both monarchs.

0:01:230:01:26

But she has never been found.

0:01:260:01:30

Not all Egypt experts are convinced with Dr Reeves' theory.

0:01:300:01:32

So the mystery of Queen Nefertiti still remains.

0:01:320:01:40

And next to the tennis where Great Britain are close to winning

0:01:420:01:45

the Davis Cup for the first time in 79 years.

0:01:450:01:48

Team GB already lead Belgium 2-1, needing one more win to take

0:01:480:01:51

the trophy.

0:01:510:01:53

Here are live pictures of the match happening right now

0:01:530:01:56

between Andy Murray and Belgium's David Goffin.

0:01:560:01:59

Andy is doing really well and is leading the Belgian player

0:01:590:02:01

by two sets to love.

0:02:010:02:03

If Murray wins, Britain will win the Davis Cup

0:02:030:02:05

for the first time since 1936.

0:02:050:02:10

And now to Emily, a girl who was so fed up of not seeing cartoon

0:02:100:02:14

characters with disabilities, she got her arty dad involved

0:02:140:02:16

and decided to take action.

0:02:160:02:17

Ricky's got this one for us.

0:02:170:02:22

Emily is nine years old.

0:02:220:02:23

She has a condition called spina bifida, which makes it

0:02:230:02:26

difficult to move around.

0:02:260:02:29

Like loads of young kids, she loves reading, playing guitar,

0:02:290:02:32

football and basketball.

0:02:320:02:33

And when she's not busy doing all of that, she's also a superhero.

0:02:330:02:35

Dad, Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star.

0:02:350:02:44

Dad, Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star.

0:02:480:02:52

And it's in this room where the characters come to life.

0:02:520:02:55

There's five characters and the name of the comic is DOA,

0:02:560:02:59

short for Department of Ability.

0:02:590:03:02

And we've got our own theme tune.

0:03:020:03:03

Emily's dad is obsessed with comics.

0:03:090:03:10

Some of the characters he's created are based on other

0:03:100:03:13

children with disabilities.

0:03:130:03:13

Together, they make up Team Strong Bones.

0:03:130:03:15

The Department of Ability came to life when Emily was born.

0:03:150:03:18

And at the time she started watching television and reading comics, she

0:03:180:03:21

was looking for something she could relate to, ie, disabled characters.

0:03:210:03:23

And when we couldn't find any, I just set

0:03:230:03:25

about designing my own group of superheroes with disabilities that

0:03:250:03:28

she could read and actually enjoy.

0:03:280:03:31

Some shows, I don't really see people in wheelchairs.

0:03:310:03:34

And how does that make you feel?

0:03:340:03:36

Kind of upset.

0:03:360:03:39

The charity Strong Bones is publishing the very first issue of

0:03:390:03:41

the comic at the start of next year.

0:03:410:03:43

Go, Super Emily!

0:03:430:03:48

Thousands of orange and black Monarch butterflies have

0:03:480:03:50

begun arriving at their winter home in Central Mexico.

0:03:500:03:52

Millions embark on the 4,800 kilometre journey from as far

0:03:520:03:56

north as Canada, down into Mexico.

0:03:560:04:00

Experts hope more than 225 million Monarch butterflies will

0:04:000:04:04

continue to arrive in Mexico each year to enjoy the warm weather.

0:04:040:04:08

It's now time for a roundup of the week's weirdest news from Jenny.

0:04:140:04:19

You know what it's like.

0:04:190:04:20

You're standing in front of a crowd of thousands,

0:04:200:04:22

about to sing the national anthem, and then this happens.

0:04:220:04:27

# Australians all let us rejoice...#

0:04:270:04:31

HE HICCUPS

0:04:310:04:34

Seven-year-old Ethan got the hiccups while he sang the song

0:04:340:04:37

before a baseball game in Australia.

0:04:370:04:38

At the end of the song, he ran around the pitch getting

0:04:380:04:41

high-fives from all the players.

0:04:410:04:45

Now to Japan, where more than 120 waiters have taken part

0:04:480:04:50

in this year's Waiters' Race.

0:04:500:04:54

They had to balance trays of glasses and bottles filled with water while

0:04:540:04:57

running down a 300-metre course.

0:04:570:05:01

Usually, scientists spend their time figuring out really

0:05:030:05:05

complicated and important things.

0:05:050:05:08

But when they're not doing that, they're using a high-speed video to

0:05:080:05:12

find out how snot travels through the air when we sneeze.

0:05:120:05:17

Scientists in America discovered that snot moves in different

0:05:170:05:19

ways once it leaves our noses.

0:05:190:05:22

In sheets, bursts and strings.

0:05:220:05:25

Someone get him a tissue.

0:05:250:05:29

And finally, new pictures of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge have

0:05:320:05:35

been released by Kensington Palace.

0:05:350:05:36

The snaps were taken by her mum Catherine,

0:05:360:05:38

the Duchess of Cambridge, at their country retreat in Sandringham.

0:05:380:05:41

The Duke and Duchess say they hope everyone enjoys the photos.

0:05:410:05:47

Well, that's your lot for today, but Newsround's back in the morning

0:05:470:05:50

0:05:500:05:52
