0:00:03 > 0:00:03Good afternoon.

0:00:03 > 0:00:06I'm Leah and this your Sunday afternoon Newsround.

0:00:06 > 0:00:07We'll be telling you about:

0:00:07 > 0:00:10The beautiful butterflies arriving in Mexico.

0:00:10 > 0:00:15And we've got the latest score from the Davis Cup.

0:00:25 > 0:00:27But first to our top story.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29And we're off to Egypt and the tomb of an ancient king,

0:00:29 > 0:00:31where experts say they've made an exciting discovery.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36I've been finding out more.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39This is 3,000-year-old tomb of King Tutankhamun.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43The most intact tomb ever discovered in Egypt.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47It was first uncovered in 1922.

0:00:47 > 0:00:49Close to 2,000 ancient objects were found hidden inside.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52Now experts say they're 90% sure there is a secret room hidden

0:00:52 > 0:00:56within the boy king's tomb.

0:00:56 > 0:01:02Archaeologist Dr Nicholas Reeves made the discovery by studying

0:01:02 > 0:01:07detailed scans of the burial chamber, taken by specialists.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11My close examination of these scans highlighted the apparent presence of

0:01:11 > 0:01:14closed doorways on the west wall, potentially leading to an additional

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Tutankhamun-period storeroom.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21He believes when King Tutankhamun suddenly died, his remains were

0:01:21 > 0:01:23rushed into what was originally Queen Nefertiti's tomb for burial.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26And the tomb was then split into two to hold both monarchs.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30But she has never been found.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Not all Egypt experts are convinced with Dr Reeves' theory.

0:01:32 > 0:01:40So the mystery of Queen Nefertiti still remains.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45And next to the tennis where Great Britain are close to winning

0:01:45 > 0:01:48the Davis Cup for the first time in 79 years.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Team GB already lead Belgium 2-1, needing one more win to take

0:01:51 > 0:01:53the trophy.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Here are live pictures of the match happening right now

0:01:56 > 0:01:59between Andy Murray and Belgium's David Goffin.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Andy is doing really well and is leading the Belgian player

0:02:01 > 0:02:03by two sets to love.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05If Murray wins, Britain will win the Davis Cup

0:02:05 > 0:02:10for the first time since 1936.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14And now to Emily, a girl who was so fed up of not seeing cartoon

0:02:14 > 0:02:16characters with disabilities, she got her arty dad involved

0:02:16 > 0:02:17and decided to take action.

0:02:17 > 0:02:22Ricky's got this one for us.

0:02:22 > 0:02:23Emily is nine years old.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26She has a condition called spina bifida, which makes it

0:02:26 > 0:02:29difficult to move around.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Like loads of young kids, she loves reading, playing guitar,

0:02:32 > 0:02:33football and basketball.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35And when she's not busy doing all of that, she's also a superhero.

0:02:35 > 0:02:44Dad, Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Dad, Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55And it's in this room where the characters come to life.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59There's five characters and the name of the comic is DOA,

0:02:59 > 0:03:02short for Department of Ability.

0:03:02 > 0:03:03And we've got our own theme tune.

0:03:09 > 0:03:10Emily's dad is obsessed with comics.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Some of the characters he's created are based on other

0:03:13 > 0:03:13children with disabilities.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Together, they make up Team Strong Bones.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18The Department of Ability came to life when Emily was born.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21And at the time she started watching television and reading comics, she

0:03:21 > 0:03:23was looking for something she could relate to, ie, disabled characters.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25And when we couldn't find any, I just set

0:03:25 > 0:03:28about designing my own group of superheroes with disabilities that

0:03:28 > 0:03:31she could read and actually enjoy.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Some shows, I don't really see people in wheelchairs.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36And how does that make you feel?

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Kind of upset.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41The charity Strong Bones is publishing the very first issue of

0:03:41 > 0:03:43the comic at the start of next year.

0:03:43 > 0:03:48Go, Super Emily!

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Thousands of orange and black Monarch butterflies have

0:03:50 > 0:03:52begun arriving at their winter home in Central Mexico.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Millions embark on the 4,800 kilometre journey from as far

0:03:56 > 0:04:00north as Canada, down into Mexico.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Experts hope more than 225 million Monarch butterflies will

0:04:04 > 0:04:08continue to arrive in Mexico each year to enjoy the warm weather.

0:04:14 > 0:04:19It's now time for a roundup of the week's weirdest news from Jenny.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20You know what it's like.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22You're standing in front of a crowd of thousands,

0:04:22 > 0:04:27about to sing the national anthem, and then this happens.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31# Australians all let us rejoice...#

0:04:31 > 0:04:34HE HICCUPS

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Seven-year-old Ethan got the hiccups while he sang the song

0:04:37 > 0:04:38before a baseball game in Australia.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41At the end of the song, he ran around the pitch getting

0:04:41 > 0:04:45high-fives from all the players.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Now to Japan, where more than 120 waiters have taken part

0:04:50 > 0:04:54in this year's Waiters' Race.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57They had to balance trays of glasses and bottles filled with water while

0:04:57 > 0:05:01running down a 300-metre course.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Usually, scientists spend their time figuring out really

0:05:05 > 0:05:08complicated and important things.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12But when they're not doing that, they're using a high-speed video to

0:05:12 > 0:05:17find out how snot travels through the air when we sneeze.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Scientists in America discovered that snot moves in different

0:05:19 > 0:05:22ways once it leaves our noses.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25In sheets, bursts and strings.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Someone get him a tissue.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35And finally, new pictures of Princess Charlotte of Cambridge have

0:05:35 > 0:05:36been released by Kensington Palace.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38The snaps were taken by her mum Catherine,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41the Duchess of Cambridge, at their country retreat in Sandringham.

0:05:41 > 0:05:47The Duke and Duchess say they hope everyone enjoys the photos.
