:00:00. > :00:00.Martin here with your Saturday headlines: you've told us what you

:00:07. > :00:10.think of the new Strictly presenter taking over from Brucie, and the

:00:11. > :00:11.15-year-old girl on course to be the most successful British weightlifter

:00:12. > :00:25.of all time. This is Newsround. The Galapagos Islands, off the coast

:00:26. > :00:28.of South America, are famous for their rare species of wildlife and

:00:29. > :00:32.are considered an area of natural beauty. But a large goods ship from

:00:33. > :00:36.nearby Ecuador ran aground on rocks there yesterday. Even though the

:00:37. > :00:40.ship is carrying thousands of litres of diesel oil, authorities say that

:00:41. > :00:45.the storage tanks are not at risk of spilling fuel at the moment. They

:00:46. > :00:48.are making plans for what to do in case the situation changes.

:00:49. > :00:52.Formula One next, and Lewis Hamilton was second fastest earlier in the

:00:53. > :00:56.final practice session at the Spanish Grand Prix. The Brit came

:00:57. > :00:59.first in yesterday's first two practice runs but was slightly

:01:00. > :01:04.slower than his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg this morning. So far,

:01:05. > :01:08.Hamilton has had a dream season, winning the last three races, and he

:01:09. > :01:12.is happy with how his car feels this weekend. Getting back into it. It

:01:13. > :01:17.feels like a bit of a long break, so to get back in the car and feel a

:01:18. > :01:21.positive step forward from the team. A big thank you to everyone back at

:01:22. > :01:24.the factory for all the hard work, because the car is feeling better

:01:25. > :01:28.ths weekend. Next, a man in a hamster wheel, a

:01:29. > :01:31.bearded lady, and twins with intertwining hair: it's the

:01:32. > :01:44.Eurovision Song Contest tonight, with all the drama taking place on

:01:45. > :01:53.BBC One from eight o'clock. Here's the BBC's Sophie Van Brugen.

:01:54. > :02:05.On this stage later on, the countries will battle it out. If you

:02:06. > :02:11.months ago, this was a disused shipyard. The favourites Sweden,

:02:12. > :02:20.Armenia and the Netherlands, but the act that has got everyone talking is

:02:21. > :02:26.the bearded lady from Austria. The UK hasn't won the competition for

:02:27. > :02:36.quite a few years. This year it is Molly. Until yesterday, I was all

:02:37. > :02:43.right and then I had a thought of, oh God, and you need that to keep

:02:44. > :02:50.you on your toes. I want to look back and feel I did my best. It is

:02:51. > :02:55.about representing my son in the best way possible, so there is

:02:56. > :03:03.pressure on me from me for that. I have stiff competition. I need to

:03:04. > :03:07.get off the stage so they can give it a final polish. It is on BBC One

:03:08. > :03:48.at bit later on. Also, loads and loads of you are

:03:49. > :03:57.saying that Anton Du Beke would have been a better choice.

:03:58. > :04:00.15-year-old Rebekah Tiler is already Britain's strongest schoolgirl and

:04:01. > :04:03.could become Great Britain's most successful female weightlifter ever.

:04:04. > :04:05.She has broken over 100 British records and this weekend competes

:04:06. > :04:09.against grown-ups in the British seniors. She is building up to

:04:10. > :04:12.Glasgow's Commonwealth Games. But it's difficult: Rebekah has to fit

:04:13. > :04:14.her training around school. BBC Breakfast's Mike Bushell has been to

:04:15. > :04:16.meet her. The powerhouse smashing

:04:17. > :04:22.weightlifting records and the schoolgirl. Rebekah's home is a

:04:23. > :04:25.shrine to weightlifting. We've got her sisters here. They're all

:04:26. > :04:29.getting into the sport as well, Emily, Lisa and Sophie. Here's

:04:30. > :04:32.Rebekah. Hi, Rebekah. Hi, girls, you all right? Not much time, though, to

:04:33. > :04:36.say hello to her sisters, because she's got to go in with Mum and Dad,

:04:37. > :04:40.finish the cooking, get the steaks on. No skimping on tea: it's very

:04:41. > :04:43.important, the diet, because within an hour, five days a week, she's

:04:44. > :04:46.back out for training again. What do your schoolmates reckon to

:04:47. > :04:50.it? Yeah, they think it's quite cool. Teachers are, like, "Oh, well

:04:51. > :04:54.done, Rebekah," and the boys like to arm-wrestle me. I'm really proud of

:04:55. > :04:59.her. Has it inspired you to have a go as well? Yeah, we do it down at

:05:00. > :05:03.the gym. I do it three times a week. It's a family trip to the gym, then,

:05:04. > :05:06.where even five-year-old Emily, in the middle here, starts training

:05:07. > :05:09.next year and where I saw just why Rebekah was persuaded to switch from

:05:10. > :05:13.sprinting to weights when she was younger. She's broken over a hundred

:05:14. > :05:20.British records already and can get 123 kilograms above her head in one

:05:21. > :05:25.go. That's over 19 stone. HE STRAINS.

:05:26. > :05:29.It's not even moving! Normally, before a competition I

:05:30. > :05:34.just go blank, and I just lift the weights, and it happens. Really?

:05:35. > :05:39.Yeah! It was hard at first, but then, when I got into it, it just

:05:40. > :05:42.came easy for me. And it's only the start. With funding from UK Sport

:05:43. > :05:48.secure, and with her sisters hot on her heels, Rebecca's hoping to raise

:05:49. > :05:52.the bar further than ever before. That's all from me, but I'm back

:05:53. > :05:56.just before two. See you then. Don't forget to check out the website for

:05:57. > :05:58.all the rest of the day's stories.
