Hello, everyone, Leah here this Sunday with today's big stories

0:00:030:00:06

from Newsround, including:

0:00:060:00:08

The house you can eat!

0:00:080:00:12

And we meet the girl who's been transformed into a comic book hero.

0:00:120:00:17

But first to Egypt, where experts say they have made

0:00:250:00:28

an exciting discovery in the tomb of an ancient king.

0:00:280:00:28

Leah's been finding out more.

0:00:310:00:32

This is 3,000-year-old tomb of King Tutankhamun.

0:00:370:00:38

The most intact tomb ever discovered in Egypt,

0:00:380:00:42

it was first uncovered in 1922.

0:00:420:00:45

Close to 2,000 ancient objects were found hidden inside.

0:00:450:00:50

Now experts say they're 90% sure there is a secret room

0:00:500:00:54

hidden within King Tut's tomb.

0:00:540:00:58

Archaeologist Dr Nicholas Reeves made the discovery by studying

0:00:580:01:00

detailed scans of the burial chamber taken by specialists.

0:01:000:01:06

My close examination of these scans highlighted the apparent presence

0:01:060:01:10

of closed doorways on the west wall, potentially leading

0:01:100:01:15

to a Tutankhamun period storeroom.

0:01:150:01:17

He believes that when King Tut suddenly died, his remains were

0:01:170:01:20

rushed into what was originally Queen Nefertiti's tomb for burial.

0:01:200:01:24

The Queen's remains were then moved into the hidden chamber,

0:01:240:01:30

sealed behind a wall.

0:01:300:01:34

But not all Egypt experts are convinced.

0:01:340:01:36

Until Dr Reeves can find proof, the mystery of Queen Nefertiti remains.

0:01:360:01:38

Next, Prince Harry may have a bit of of a sore knee today

0:01:410:01:44

after taking a tumble during a polo match in South Africa yesterday.

0:01:440:01:47

Play was stopped before he got back up and

0:01:470:01:50

in the end, Harry's team lost 8-7.

0:01:500:01:52

But it was all for a good cause, as the Prince was in Lesotho

0:01:520:01:56

raising money for charity.

0:01:560:01:58

And now to Emily, a girl who was so fed up of not seeing cartoon

0:02:000:02:03

characters with disabilities, she got her arty dad involved

0:02:030:02:05

and decided to take action.

0:02:050:02:07

Ricky's got this one for us.

0:02:070:02:09

Emily is nine years old.

0:02:120:02:15

She has a condition called spina bifida, which makes it

0:02:150:02:17

difficult to move around.

0:02:170:02:18

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

0:02:180:02:22

football and basketball.

0:02:220:02:25

And when she's not busy doing all of that, she's also a superhero.

0:02:250:02:30

Dad, Dan has turned his daughter into a comic book star.

0:02:370:02:40

And it's in this room where the characters come to life.

0:02:400:02:44

There's five characters and the name of the comic is DOA,

0:02:500:02:53

short for Department of Ability.

0:02:530:02:55

And we've got our own theme tune.

0:02:550:02:59

They're all disabled, apart from the creator of them, the

0:03:000:03:04

person who joined them altogether.

0:03:040:03:07

Emily's dad is obsessed with comics.

0:03:070:03:09

Some of the characters he's created are based on other

0:03:090:03:11

children with disabilities.

0:03:110:03:14

Together, they make up Team Strong Bones.

0:03:140:03:18

The Department of Ability came to life when Emily was born.

0:03:180:03:20

And at the time she started watching television and reading comics, she

0:03:200:03:24

was looking for something she could relate to, ie, disabled characters.

0:03:240:03:27

And when we couldn't find any, I just set

0:03:270:03:30

about designing my own group of superheroes with disabilities that

0:03:300:03:33

she could read and actually enjoy.

0:03:330:03:36

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

0:03:360:03:40

And how does that make you feel?

0:03:400:03:42

Kind of upset.

0:03:420:03:43

The charity Strong Bones is publishing the very first issue of

0:03:430:03:45

the comic at the start of next year.

0:03:450:03:47

Go, Super Emily!

0:03:470:03:51

In sport:

0:03:530:03:54

A British boxer has just become the Heavyweight Champion of the World.

0:03:540:03:57

27-year-old Tyson Fury beat Wladimir Klitschko,

0:03:570:04:00

bringing the Ukrainian's nine-year reign as champion to an end.

0:04:000:04:06

Great Britain are one win from the first Davis Cup title

0:04:060:04:08

in 79 years, following Andy and Jamie Murray's doubles victory

0:04:080:04:11

against Belgium yesterday.

0:04:110:04:11

The Scottish brothers beat Steve Darcis and David Goffin to put

0:04:110:04:14

the visitors 2-1 up in Ghent.

0:04:140:04:17

A win for Andy Murray against David this afternoon would seal the GB

0:04:170:04:20

win.

0:04:200:04:22

Even if we'd lost the doubles, I would've said the same thing.

0:04:280:04:31

I still think we have a very good chance in both of the matches.

0:04:310:04:34

Even if I was to lose against Goffin, I think we have a very good

0:04:340:04:38

chance in the fifth robber, whoever plays for them, or us, I do think we

0:04:380:04:41

have a very good chance in that one.

0:04:410:04:47

In football:

0:04:480:04:49

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has scored his 11th Premier League

0:04:490:04:53

goal in a row after drawing 1-1 with Manchester United.

0:04:530:04:56

The record was previously set by former Man United player Ruud

0:04:560:04:58

van Nistelrooy.

0:04:580:04:59

Jamie says the breaking the record wasn't on his mind,

0:04:590:05:02

but says his team-mates were quick to congratulate him.

0:05:020:05:06

I've just been taking each game as they come.

0:05:060:05:09

The record wasn't in my mind.

0:05:090:05:10

Just delighted that as a team, we've put

0:05:100:05:12

in a great performance today and, like I say, we've come away with

0:05:120:05:15

a point against a very good side.

0:05:150:05:17

Now to San Francisco in America and the house made entirely out

0:05:170:05:20

of gingerbread.

0:05:200:05:20

8,000 pieces of gingerbread, 1,500lbs of icing and 700lbs of

0:05:200:05:24

candy were used for the creation.

0:05:240:05:29

in California.

0:05:290:05:31

It will be on display at a hotel for the Christmas holidays.

0:05:310:05:34

And a festive shout-out now.
