Good afternoon Newsrounders. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:05 | |
Jenny, here, with your last Newsround this Sunday. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
We take a look at your epic fist bumping efforts! | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
And the unusual cafe for some of our feathered friends. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:22 | |
First, after 12 days of spectacular sporting action, | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
the Glasgow Commonwealth Games will come to a close tonight. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
England will top the medal table, their total boosted even further | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
today, with Lizzie Armitstead and Emma | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Pooley claiming both gold and silver in the 98km women's road race. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
It's Armitstead's first gold, after silver medals at Delhi in 2010. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
Pooley, who is retiring from cycling, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
cried as she crossed the line and was congratulated by her team mate. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
This is the best cycling team work that I | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
have ever been a part of, really. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
It's such a shame because Emma is retiring today. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
And we finally got sorted, but a fantastic job from Emma, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
from the whole | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
girls, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
I was really proud of them. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
Meanwhile, on the track last night, the Lightning Bolt was back with | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
a bang, helping grab gold for Jamaica, and | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
set a new Commonwealth record, in a thrilling 4 by 100m relay final. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:15 | |
He then donned a tam-o?shanter, celebrating in style with | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
a delighted crowd at Hampden Park. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
He said his victory lap took him quite a while. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Here?s why! | 0:01:24 | 0:01:25 | |
People are taking selfies. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
Normally, it was just autographs. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Now everybody wants a selfie, no one really wants an autograph anymore. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
It's taking for ever to get around the stadium. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:39 | |
And England's Nicola Adams made history by beating | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
Northern Ireland's Michaela Walsh, becoming the first ever female | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
Commonwealth Games boxing champion. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
And in the men's finals, boxers Paddy Barnes and | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
Michael Conlan claimed Northern Ireland's first gold medals | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
of the games, in the light-flyweight and bantamweight rounds. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Charlie Flynn and Josh Taylor also got in on the action, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
picking up two golds for Scotland. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
All day, you've been telling us your Commonwealth Games highlights. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
Tilly and Jessica thought the athletics and field events were | 0:02:03 | 0:02:09 | |
Tilly and Jessica thought the athletics and field events were | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Tilly and Jessica thought the athletics and field events were | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
awesome, they loved how high competitors go on the pole vault. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:16 | |
Thanks for those, guys. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:33 | |
Moving on, tomorrow marks 100 years since | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
Britain declared war on Germany. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
Ricky's going to be bringing you a series of reports from | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
the battlefields of World War One. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
Today, he's been finding out about the unusual recruits that did | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
their bit for the war effort. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
World War One was a global war. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
Around the world, millions of men were recruited to | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
fight, on both sides. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
As they travelled to the battlefields of Europe, | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
women at home took on their jobs in factories, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
making weapons for the frontline. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
And it didn't stop there. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Even animals played their part. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
The British army deployed more than one million horses and mules | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
during the conflict, their hard work shouldn't be underestimated. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
Many of them were used to move around artillery, general supplies, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:20 | |
and even wounded soldiers. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
Dogs played crucial roles in the First World War. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
In fact, they came to be just as dependable as soldiers. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:29 | |
Many were used to deliver vital messages, find wounded soldiers | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
and warn of gas attacks. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
Some even helped to sniff out enemy spies. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Pigeons were also used as messengers. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
They flew long distances quickly, delivering military orders to | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
soldiers on the frontline. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
And one of the most bizarre creatures who came to help | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
the soldiers, in the sometimes very dark trenches, were glow worms. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
They'd collect them in jars in their thousands, | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
and then at night, when they'd glow, they were able to study maps | 0:03:56 | 0:04:00 | |
and read letters from loved ones. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:01 | |
At night, their glow is visible, even from as far away as 20 yards. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:06 | |
Away from the frontline, even zoo animals were put to work. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
The government wanted to show everyone was helping out. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
This elephant, from Sheffield Zoo, was used to pull heavy loads, | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
instead of the British horses that were on the battlefields of Europe. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
Millions of animals were relied upon by both | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
sides during the First World War. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
But like the men sent to fight, the price they paid was high. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
8 million horses alone had died by the end of the war. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
But the efforts of animals in WW1 were never forgotten. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:41 | |
A cafe in Tokyo has got bird fans flocking to enjoy a cup of tea | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
with their feathered friends. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:46 | |
The Owl cafe has thirty owls for visitors to touch, | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
pet and even put on their heads. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
It's kept dark to protect the owls' eyes. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
The owners take the birds home every night, to stop them getting | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
the neighbours all a flutter with their night time hoots. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
And finally, you may remember, last week we told you that | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
scientists had revealed banging fists as a greeting, is more | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
hygienic than shaking hands. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:06 | |
Well, all week you've been sending in your fist bumping videos, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
so check out this epic montage to see if you can spot yours. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
