It's Friday afternoon, and today, Newsround comes to you | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
I'm in Glasgow, as Hampden Park prepares for the arrival | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
And I'm in Belgium, speaking to kids who are remembering World War I, 100 | :00:13. | :00:25. | |
years on. Well, where better to start than | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It's been another big day | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
for the home nations, but there's one man in particular | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
that everyone is waiting to see. And with news on that | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
and all the day's big stories, Welcome to Hampden Park, | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
where tonight Scotland will welcome the Games' biggest star to | :00:41. | :00:51. | |
the track, the fastest man The Jamaican creates a frenzy | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
of excitement wherever he goes and The 100m and 200m world record | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
holder will line up as part But before I get too carried away, | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
let?s catch up with some England's dynamic diving duo | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
Jack Laugher and Chris Mears won gold in the synchronised three | :01:14. | :01:23. | |
metre springboard, with fellow English pair Nick Robinson-Baker | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
and Freddie Woodward joining them on In the gymnastics arena, it was | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
a case of who can stay on their It was beginning to look like no | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
gymnast wanted to win the gold after a series of falls, until Eliazbath | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Black from Canada produced a So tonight, | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
it is all about the Lightning Bolt , but last night another monster | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
of the track, David Weir, stormed A real feature of these Games has | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
been the combination of para sport alongside other sports, and I've | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
been looking into whether people The Paralympic Games took | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
the nation by storm, turning the likes of David Weir and Hannah | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
Cockroft into sporting heroes. But at the Commonwealth Games | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
in Glasgow, it's a bit different. There's fewer events and athletes, | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
meaning some familiar faces like And instead of a separate para | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
games, all the events for both able-bodied and disabled athletes | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
take place at the same time. High Speed two to be able to | :02:27. | :02:42. | |
experience the first medal we won has worked well. The integration has | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
been fantastic. And from London to Glasgow, | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
para sport is going We are about to watch David Weir in | :02:47. | :02:58. | |
the T54 1500m, here in Hampden Park. You can hear how loud the crowd is. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
So what do fans think about Para-sport being on at the same time | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
as the rest of the competition? David Weir is coming home to | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
victory. I think it is good, because then they get a chance to be in with | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
the main people. If you get bored of one thing, like the long jump, you | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
can easily watch something else. If someone is disabled, they can get | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
involved in the main events. You have different people together. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
So could other events such as the Olympics follow Glasgow's example? | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Logistically, it would be almost impossible to have a combined | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
Olympics and Paralympics. It would last a month. It is too big. You can | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
do it at the Commonwealth Games. So after Glasgow, | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
para and able-bodied athletes will go back to competing at different | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
times, but the success of these Commonwealth Games may mean we see | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
all athletes compete alongside each Next, let's go to Ricky in Belguim, | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
where people are getting ready to mark 100 years since the start | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
of World War One. Good afternoon from Ypres in | :04:08. | :04:21. | |
Belgium. Behind me is the men in gay, which commemorates soldiers who | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
died, but were never found. Today, I met two kids who were here to write | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
in a special book of remembrance. I put, if it weren't for you, we would | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
not be here. I wrote a poem. Flowers are red and the sky is blue, no one | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
is better than you. It is amazing, the amount of people, how many | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
graves there were. That was why we put our notes in the book. We will | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
be bringing you much more on the 100th anniversary of World War I | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
over the weekend and on month. On the whole team here, have a great | :04:57. | :04:57. | |
weekend. | :04:58. | :05:01. |
