Ricky here on a pretty wet Tuesday afternoon!

Let's get you up to date.

Coming up on Newsround...

The girl who's being transformed into a comic book hero.

And the teenager who's demolished a world record.

But first to the city of London, where scientists have made

a fascinating discovery.

By looking at ancient bones, researchers have been able to find

out what the very first Londoners looked like.

London.

One of the most diverse cities in the world.

There are millions of people from lots of different backgrounds

living here.

And it turns out that not much has changed over the past 2000 years.

This is a skeleton of a 14-year-old girl who lived in London thousands

of years ago under Roman rule.

Scientists extracted DNA from her teeth and bones to work out

where she was from.

Amazingly, they discovered she grew up in North Africa but her mother

was from southern Eastern Europe.

The DNA test revealed the colour of her eyes, they were blue.

Her family travelled across the globe to be in London.

Even though this was 2000 years ago, the world is a large place,

and we think she may have been part of the military community,

that her father or husband, even though she was young, she could

have been moving with the Army.

Researchers plan to analyse more than 20,000 human remains of ancient

Londoners and bones are being kept inside the Museum of London.

This is what the capital looked like 2,000 years ago.

Scientists say from its beginnings it was a place full of people with

different cultures and backgrounds.

Researchers say they hope to learn a lot more from these skeletons to

find out more about the history of this capital city.

Next to the girl who's being turned into a comic hero.

Fed up of not seeing cartoon characters

with disabilities, Emily decided to take action and I got to meet her.

Emily is nine years old.

She has a condition called spina bifida which makes it

difficult to move around.

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

and basketball and when she isn't busy doing that, she's a superhero.

Dad Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star and it is here

where the characters come to life.

There's five characters and the name of the comic is DOM -

Department of Mobility.

We have our own theme tune.

They are all disabled apart from the creator.

Emily's dad is obsessed with comics, some of the characters he's created

are based on other children with disabilities.

Together they make up team Strong Bones, the Department of

Mobility came to life when Emily was born and she started watching TV.

She was looking for something she could relate to, disabled characters

and when we couldn't find any, I set about designing my own super

heroes with disabilities she could read and enjoy.

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

How does that make you feel?

Upset.

The Charity Strong Bones is publishing the first issue of the

comic at the start of next year.

Go Super Emily!

Sticking with superhumans, meet 16 year old weightlifter Rebekah Tiler.

She started the sport at just 12 years old and

on Wednesday she'll be the youngest member of the GB team competing

at the senior world weightlifting championships in the US.

This is what she thinks of people who still reckon

weightlifting is a men's sport.

Everyone thinks it is a body-building sport, big muscles

and hairy and everything like men!

But it is nothing like that.

Come back at 0740 tomorrow morning for Rebekah's full story.

Now - blink and you might miss this.

14-year-old Lucas Etter has just become the first person to solve

the Rubik's cube puzzle in less than five seconds!

4.904 seconds to be exact - smashing the world record set in April.

You're up to date - we're back tomorrow.
