:00:16. > :00:20.$:/STARTFEED. Hello and welcome to the weekend. We have got some

:00:20. > :00:24.action-packed news. I well have all the details on the world's fastest

:00:24. > :00:31.horse. The boy who slept through a car

:00:31. > :00:41.crashing into his bedroom. And Felix Baumgartner's record-

:00:41. > :00:50.

:00:50. > :00:55.breaking jump get the Lago First, to the fastest horse on the

:00:55. > :00:59.planet, Frankel. He has never been beaten and tomorrow he is looking

:01:00. > :01:06.for the 14th and perhaps the final win of his career at Ascot.

:01:06. > :01:12.He is the greatest racehorse of all time. What makes him so special?

:01:12. > :01:17.He is the world's fastest horse who has won all 13 of his races by an

:01:17. > :01:26.average of around 14 metres. That is why in the world of Horseracing

:01:26. > :01:32.he has been given the nickname Usain Colt. He is an amazing animal.

:01:32. > :01:38.He is the Usain Bolt of horse racing. He is a superstar, he has

:01:38. > :01:42.got a great presence and he has got the will to win, what most of the

:01:43. > :01:50.great athletes have. He is almost twice as fast as the Jamaican

:01:50. > :01:53.sprinter with a top speed of 43 miles an hour. Manchester United

:01:53. > :02:00.midfielder Tom Cleverley reckons he is like as the are no Ronaldo, but

:02:00. > :02:04.big, strong, tall, imposing and very fast. What is his secret? His

:02:04. > :02:09.stride is longer than other racehorses. At seven metres it can

:02:09. > :02:13.stretch to the length of a minibus. He can also accelerate like a

:02:13. > :02:18.Formula One car and can pull out in front of the rest of the field. He

:02:18. > :02:24.needs a lot of fuel, eating 14 times more calories than an adult

:02:24. > :02:31.man. But this weekend is expected to be the last time he races. When

:02:31. > :02:35.he retires he will be worth around �100 million. What is next for him?

:02:35. > :02:40.He could become a racing pundit, launch his own fashion range or

:02:40. > :02:44.even settle down to write his autobiography. But it will be an

:02:44. > :02:49.emotional day for the sport when the race horse that has been called

:02:49. > :02:52.the greatest ever bow was out in front of 30 -- 32,000 people

:02:52. > :02:58.tomorrow. I do not think horses can apply,

:02:58. > :03:02.but it is that time again, BBC Sports Personality of the Year.

:03:02. > :03:06.judging line-up has been announced. Last year when Mark Cavendish won

:03:06. > :03:12.there was a row because all the judges were men. This time the

:03:12. > :03:16.panel is half the men and half women, including Sir Steve Redgrave,

:03:16. > :03:22.Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and Denise Lewis. They will all be

:03:22. > :03:27.deciding who gets nominated. good is your memory? A record

:03:27. > :03:32.number of people have been taking part in an experiment all about how

:03:32. > :03:38.well we remember things. The more than 1000 people were given a short

:03:38. > :03:43.list of words to remember. sounds easy, but sometimes your

:03:43. > :03:46.brain can play funny tricks on you. There might be a test at the end.

:03:46. > :03:51.These children are learning all about the mind and are putting

:03:52. > :03:56.their brains to the test as part of a memory experiments. I will read

:03:56. > :04:04.out a list of words which I want you to remember and later on I will

:04:04. > :04:11.ask you a question. Bed, a wake, rest, snooze, blanket, dream, tired,

:04:11. > :04:16.yawn, snorer and drowsy. 1000 people in different locations were

:04:16. > :04:20.tested. Scientists are hoping to find out more about memory

:04:20. > :04:25.conditions like dementia. The test has been designed by Professor

:04:25. > :04:30.Bruce Hood from the University of Bristol. He says memory is not

:04:30. > :04:35.always reliable. Memories are not like recordings, but are

:04:35. > :04:45.reconstructed from information we feed into it. Did I say the word

:04:45. > :04:46.

:04:46. > :04:52.rest? Yes. Dream? Yes. Sleep? No, I did not, but you are not alone if

:04:52. > :04:56.you got it wrong. Eight out of 10 people think they heard the words

:04:56. > :05:01.sleep. It is because the brain links words into groups. Because

:05:01. > :05:05.they are all to do with sleeping the brain tricksy in to thinking

:05:05. > :05:11.that you have heard of it. caught me out when he said sleep

:05:11. > :05:16.because I thought it was because they are related to that word.

:05:16. > :05:20.sounded like it should be there. Even their teacher thought he

:05:20. > :05:24.remembered the words sleep, but the older you are either more likely

:05:24. > :05:28.you are to get this test wrong. Your class would not mind you being

:05:28. > :05:34.forgetful, especially when it comes to homework.

:05:34. > :05:39.That was hard. In showbiz a lot of people are

:05:39. > :05:43.saying and nine-year-old girl who auditioned for a film in her local

:05:43. > :05:47.library could win Hollywood's top award. Quvenzhane Wallis could

:05:47. > :05:54.become the youngest ever Oscar winner after getting great reviews

:05:54. > :05:58.in the latest movie Beasts of the Southern Wild. You look down at

:05:58. > :06:04.yourself and you are small and you really do not think that is true,

:06:04. > :06:10.you think you are in a dream. it she does not win, she will have

:06:10. > :06:16.a great career, but getting into acting is not easy. Going to top

:06:16. > :06:19.drama schools is really expensive, so I went to investigate, including

:06:19. > :06:25.meeting an actress who set up recourse is to encourage kids to

:06:25. > :06:29.take up the art. These guys are at stage school

:06:29. > :06:33.because they want to fulfil their dreams of becoming actors, but

:06:33. > :06:38.should classes like this not be available for everybody? Rebecca

:06:38. > :06:42.Ferguson shot to fame after winning the X Factor, but it was not easy

:06:43. > :06:47.getting there. When I was younger it was really

:06:47. > :06:54.expensive and I got a job at 14 and I used that money to go towards

:06:54. > :06:59.dancing lessons and singing lessons. I think it is a shame people cannot

:06:59. > :07:04.get it a lot cheaper. Charlotte has been an actress for 40 years, but

:07:04. > :07:11.now is offering a free school to kids who cannot afford it. Tell me

:07:11. > :07:15.about your idea. It is for students on long been -- low income families.

:07:15. > :07:21.We believe students from those backgrounds are going to think more

:07:21. > :07:25.than twice about taking on a lot of student debt. But at this school

:07:25. > :07:29.they have a mix of students. Some pay fees and others get a free

:07:29. > :07:35.place. Lots of people say stage school is only for privileged kids

:07:35. > :07:41.who can afford to come. Is that the case? No, we have scholarships,

:07:41. > :07:46.some are schools, holiday courses, so it is possible to come. If he

:07:46. > :07:52.wants to pursue your acting career, then sometimes it takes a leap of

:07:52. > :07:56.faith. Even if you do not have the money, places that see you have the

:07:56. > :08:00.potential will give you a scholarship. It comes down to

:08:00. > :08:05.talent. Yes, as long as you have got the talent and you are

:08:05. > :08:11.determined, you will make it. Sometimes we find it hard to get up

:08:11. > :08:15.in the morning, but even I would not have slept through this.

:08:15. > :08:20.year-old Ben from North X let through a car crashing through his

:08:20. > :08:25.bedroom wall. The car sent bricks and rubble flying, but he was not

:08:25. > :08:30.hurt and said he only woke up when he heard his mum shouting.

:08:31. > :08:37.Felix Baumgartner is having an amazing week. He jumped from the

:08:37. > :08:43.edge of space. It is because he has been made out of Lego. His

:08:43. > :08:48.incredible jump from 24 miles up has been recreated using Lego. It

:08:48. > :08:54.has got the balloon and even a Hamnett camera. That is a thorough
