0:00:03 > 0:00:06Ricky here on a pretty wet Tuesday afternoon!
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Let's get you up to date.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Coming up on Newsround...
0:00:09 > 0:00:14The girl who's being transformed into a comic book hero.
0:00:14 > 0:00:24And the teenager who's demolished a world record.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28But first to the city of London, where scientists have made
0:00:28 > 0:00:31a fascinating discovery.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33By looking at ancient bones, researchers have been able to find
0:00:33 > 0:00:39out what the very first Londoners looked like.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41London.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44One of the most diverse cities in the world.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47There are millions of people from lots of different backgrounds
0:00:47 > 0:00:49living here.
0:00:49 > 0:00:56And it turns out that not much has changed over the past 2000 years.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00This is a skeleton of a 14-year-old girl who lived in London thousands
0:01:00 > 0:01:04of years ago under Roman rule.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Scientists extracted DNA from her teeth and bones to work out
0:01:07 > 0:01:11where she was from.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Amazingly, they discovered she grew up in North Africa but her mother
0:01:14 > 0:01:17was from southern Eastern Europe.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21The DNA test revealed the colour of her eyes, they were blue.
0:01:21 > 0:01:27Her family travelled across the globe to be in London.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Even though this was 2000 years ago, the world is a large place,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35and we think she may have been part of the military community,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38that her father or husband, even though she was young, she could
0:01:38 > 0:01:44have been moving with the Army.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Researchers plan to analyse more than 20,000 human remains of ancient
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Londoners and bones are being kept inside the Museum of London.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57This is what the capital looked like 2,000 years ago.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Scientists say from its beginnings it was a place full of people with
0:02:00 > 0:02:04different cultures and backgrounds.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Researchers say they hope to learn a lot more from these skeletons to
0:02:07 > 0:02:13find out more about the history of this capital city.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Next to the girl who's being turned into a comic hero.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Fed up of not seeing cartoon characters
0:02:18 > 0:02:24with disabilities, Emily decided to take action and I got to meet her.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Emily is nine years old.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28She has a condition called spina bifida which makes it
0:02:28 > 0:02:32difficult to move around.
0:02:32 > 0:02:42Like loads of young kids, she loves reading playing guitar, football
0:02:42 > 0:02:51and basketball and when she isn't busy doing that, she's a superhero.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Dad Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star and it is here
0:02:54 > 0:03:01where the characters come to life.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08There's five characters and the name of the comic is DOM -
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Department of Mobility.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14We have our own theme tune.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20They are all disabled apart from the creator.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Emily's dad is obsessed with comics, some of the characters he's created
0:03:25 > 0:03:30are based on other children with disabilities.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Together they make up team Strong Bones, the Department of
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Mobility came to life when Emily was born and she started watching TV.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42She was looking for something she could relate to, disabled characters
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and when we couldn't find any, I set about designing my own super
0:03:45 > 0:03:50heroes with disabilities she could read and enjoy.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Some shows I don't really see people in wheelchairs.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55How does that make you feel?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Upset.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00The Charity Strong Bones is publishing the first issue of the
0:04:00 > 0:04:01comic at the start of next year.
0:04:01 > 0:04:07Go Super Emily!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Sticking with superhumans, meet 16 year old weightlifter Rebekah Tiler.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13She started the sport at just 12 years old and
0:04:13 > 0:04:16on Wednesday she'll be the youngest member of the GB team competing
0:04:16 > 0:04:19at the senior world weightlifting championships in the US.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21This is what she thinks of people who still reckon
0:04:21 > 0:04:23weightlifting is a men's sport.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Everyone thinks it is a body-building sport, big muscles
0:04:26 > 0:04:30and hairy and everything like men!
0:04:30 > 0:04:35But it is nothing like that.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Come back at 0740 tomorrow morning for Rebekah's full story.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Now - blink and you might miss this.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48the Rubik's cube puzzle in less than five seconds!
