:00:28. > :00:31.the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It's been another big day

:00:32. > :00:33.for the home nations, but there's one man in particular

:00:34. > :00:37.that everyone is waiting to see. And with news on that

:00:38. > :00:40.and all the day's big stories, Welcome to Hampden Park,

:00:41. > :00:51.where tonight Scotland will welcome the Games' biggest star to

:00:52. > :00:54.the track, the fastest man The Jamaican creates a frenzy

:00:55. > :00:58.of excitement wherever he goes and The 100m and 200m world record

:00:59. > :01:08.holder will line up as part But before I get too carried away,

:01:09. > :01:13.let?s catch up with some England's dynamic diving duo

:01:14. > :01:23.Jack Laugher and Chris Mears won gold in the synchronised three

:01:24. > :01:28.metre springboard, with fellow English pair Nick Robinson-Baker

:01:29. > :01:30.and Freddie Woodward joining them on In the gymnastics arena, it was

:01:31. > :01:35.a case of who can stay on their It was beginning to look like no

:01:36. > :01:40.gymnast wanted to win the gold after a series of falls, until Eliazbath

:01:41. > :01:43.Black from Canada produced a So tonight,

:01:44. > :01:50.it is all about the Lightning Bolt , but last night another monster

:01:51. > :01:53.of the track, David Weir, stormed A real feature of these Games has

:01:54. > :02:00.been the combination of para sport alongside other sports, and I've

:02:01. > :02:02.been looking into whether people The Paralympic Games took

:02:03. > :02:11.the nation by storm, turning the likes of David Weir and Hannah

:02:12. > :02:15.Cockroft into sporting heroes. But at the Commonwealth Games

:02:16. > :02:18.in Glasgow, it's a bit different. There's fewer events and athletes,

:02:19. > :02:21.meaning some familiar faces like And instead of a separate para

:02:22. > :02:26.games, all the events for both able-bodied and disabled athletes

:02:27. > :02:42.take place at the same time. High Speed two to be able to

:02:43. > :02:44.experience the first medal we won has worked well. The integration has

:02:45. > :02:46.been fantastic. And from London to Glasgow,

:02:47. > :02:58.para sport is going We are about to watch David Weir in

:02:59. > :03:04.the T54 1500m, here in Hampden Park. You can hear how loud the crowd is.

:03:05. > :03:09.So what do fans think about Para-sport being on at the same time

:03:10. > :03:14.as the rest of the competition? David Weir is coming home to

:03:15. > :03:21.victory. I think it is good, because then they get a chance to be in with

:03:22. > :03:27.the main people. If you get bored of one thing, like the long jump, you

:03:28. > :03:31.can easily watch something else. If someone is disabled, they can get

:03:32. > :03:34.involved in the main events. You have different people together.

:03:35. > :03:39.So could other events such as the Olympics follow Glasgow's example?

:03:40. > :03:44.Logistically, it would be almost impossible to have a combined

:03:45. > :03:47.Olympics and Paralympics. It would last a month. It is too big. You can

:03:48. > :03:52.do it at the Commonwealth Games. So after Glasgow,

:03:53. > :03:54.para and able-bodied athletes will go back to competing at different

:03:55. > :03:57.times, but the success of these Commonwealth Games may mean we see

:03:58. > :04:00.all athletes compete alongside each Next, let's go to Ricky in Belguim,

:04:01. > :04:07.where people are getting ready to mark 100 years since the start

:04:08. > :04:21.of World War One. Good afternoon from Ypres in

:04:22. > :04:25.Belgium. Behind me is the men in gay, which commemorates soldiers who

:04:26. > :04:31.died, but were never found. Today, I met two kids who were here to write

:04:32. > :04:36.in a special book of remembrance. I put, if it weren't for you, we would

:04:37. > :04:43.not be here. I wrote a poem. Flowers are red and the sky is blue, no one

:04:44. > :04:48.is better than you. It is amazing, the amount of people, how many

:04:49. > :04:53.graves there were. That was why we put our notes in the book. We will

:04:54. > :04:56.be bringing you much more on the 100th anniversary of World War I

:04:57. > :04:57.over the weekend and on month. On the whole team here, have a great

:04:58. > :05:01.weekend.
