Hi, I'm Hayley.

Coming up on Newsround:

From the girl who's beating the boys

to the finishing line...

..to the guy breaking

records in the snow.

First to the Philippines,

a country in south-east Asia.

A huge volcano there is erupting,

but it's not a usual eruption.

Whitney's been finding out more.

This is Mount Mayon, the most active

volcano in the Philippines.

Scientists say what's happening

at the moment

is called a quiet eruption.

There is no big explosion.

Instead, the lava is flowing

out slowly and quietly.

It's still dangerous but people

don't always realise it

because it's not as dramatic,

so even though 15,000 people living

nearby have left their homes,

lots of other people still haven't.

The volcano erupted 50 times

in the last 500 years

and lies in what is known

as the Ring of Fire.

That's an area around the

Pacific Ocean where earthquakes

and volcano eruptions are common.

But now the authorities believe

things are about to get worse.

It's expected to change from a quiet

eruption to an explosive one.

If that happens,

no one will be allowed

to stay in the area

until the danger has passed.

Now when you think of racing

drivers who are the names

that spring to mind?

Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel,

Fernando Alonso maybe?

One thing these guys

all have in common

is that they're, well, guys,

but Newsround recently went to catch

up with one woman who's

looking to change that.

This is Jamie Chadwick.

She started motor

racing when she was 11.

Aged 17, she became

the first woman

and the youngest driver to win

the British GT championship

and now she's racing in Formula 3.

So, what is she doing today?

Taking me for a drive, of course.

Jamie, I'm really scared.

Am I going to be all right?

You'll be fine.

Are you sure?

Trust me, the last few people

I've taken out haven't dealt

with it well at all.

There's been fainting,

passing out, but...

Jamie!

I trust you'll be fine.

Oh, good.

Are you ready?

It's exciting.

Yeah, so this is Silverstone.

It's the home of

British motor sport.

It's where they have the Grand Prix.

We're going to go on the circuit

they do the F1 at,

which is really cool.

Yeah, coming out

onto the circuit now.

Oh, my gosh!

It's so fast!

How did you realise you had

a passion for racing?

I guess before, I didn't really

follow motorsport that much.

So I didn't really know much

about it, but as soon

as I first got in a go-kart,

it was like, pretty

much, that was me done.

That's exactly what I wanted to do.

Oh, I love this.

What would it be like

if you got into Formula 1?

I think an absolute

dream come true, really.

It's what you always work

for, it's what I think

I really want to achieve,

it is what sets the bar

for every young driver.

You want to be there,

you want to be racing

against the greats.

You want to be

the best in the world.

Do you want me to do

a faster lap, or...?

Yeah, go on then.

OK.

This is so fast!

Oh, my gosh!

It's so fast!

Jamie, that was so much fun.

I've got helmet hair, though.

How do you get rid of that?

You don't.

You just have it for life.

You are such an amazing driver.

Why do you think it's

so male-dominated, this sport,

and do you think it can

change in the future?

Yeah, I'm really

hoping it can change.

Obviously, there aren't that many

women involved in the sport

at the moment,

but when people realise that

women can be involved,

women can be just as good as the men

if not better in my opinion,

I'm hoping more women get involved.

On your marks, set, go!

Now you may have tried to run

really fast at your last

school sports day,

but this is another level.

This runner ran the fastest mile

on Antarctica in temperatures

of minus 20 degrees!

He broke the record just 650 miles

from the South Pole.

The clock was stopped

at the seriously fast time

of 4 minutes 18 seconds.

That's snow joke!

Just enough time to tell you to head

online where we've got

the latest X Factor gossip.

Which judge do you think

could be making a comeback?

That's it from me.

See ya!
