Hi, I'm Jenny, live from the Newsround studios, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
with all the news you need to know this Saturday morning. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:14 | |
First, let's catch up on all the action from | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
the Commonwealth Games, last night. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:22 | |
Glasgow finally got their first glimpse of | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
the fastest man in the world doing what he does best, as Usain Bolt and | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
his Jamacian team mates coasted in to the 4 by 100m relay final. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Splash star, Tom Daley, and his diving partner, James Denny, smashed | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
their final dive to secure silver in the men's synchronised 10m platform. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
And Scotland's Lynsey Sharp was roared home, by the Hampden Park | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
crowd, as she grabbed silver in the 800m final, just hours | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
after being treated for sickness. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
Next, Monday marks 100 years since the start of Britain's | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
involvement in World War One. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
Lots of the fighting happened in France and Belgium, | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
where deep trenches were built for the troops to live in. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
Ricky's been to look at a trench in Belgium to find out what life | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
was like for people living there during the war. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
This is a typical trench. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
And obviously, it is not just somewhere they fought, they actually | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
ate here, they slept here, they did an awful lot of other things. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
Talk us through what happened in the trenches. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
It would be your normal, daily experience, but all in one place, | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
in one location, with the added danger of the German shooting. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
You had to do everything here. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
There was no going anywhere else, unless you were wounded. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
You would eat here, as best you could. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
They might have such things as little cookers like this. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
Really, this is as luxurious as it gets, in this kind of trench. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
What kind of things would they have eaten? | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
You get a variety of tinned food. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Some of them were notorious, and some | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
of them were actually very tasty. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
Some of them were so bad that they helped to strengthen the trenches, | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
because nobody would eat them. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
For sleeping, if the ground was wet, you just had to do the best you can. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
It was quite a harsh existence. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Especially in winter, when it was cold and damp. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
Certainly in trenches, that is where we find the development | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
of what we call trench foot. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
This is a condition where your feet are permanently wet, all the time, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
and you can never dry them out. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Your feet actually start to rot. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
The officer would come around adding respectively men's | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
featured every day. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:22 | |
He would make sure they were OK. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
Other things, like going to the toilet, you are not moving anywhere. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
How do you go to the toilet, without a toilet? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
Wonderful things called buckets. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
Buckets! | 0:02:33 | 0:02:33 | |
So no privacy really. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
No, none at all. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:37 | |
How did they get rid of the waste? | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
At night, the bucket would be emptied. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
They would throw what ever was in the bucket, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
towards the German lines! | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
Or, if someone was using the toilet and they really had to go | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
there, then onto a shovel, and throw the contents | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
as far away from your trench towards the Germans as you could. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:59 | |
That's all from me, Newsround's back just before 12. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 |
