a black and white war. but it was not a black and white war. our philosophy behind doing all this was to try to present an image of the war that was how it was experienced by the soldiers. and they certainly experienced it in colour. they didn't experience it in black and white. every single frame was originalfilm. it's not something made up of us painting stuff or doing any sort of fiddly artwork or anything. so these were silent films. yes. so the first decision was to add sound. we just threw it at our sound department and they did a really good job and made it sound like a sound recordist was there. then we went one step further and sent it out to a couple of lip readers so any time someone sang something, they would come back and give us their opinion of what was actually being said. then we got actors to do the voices, to try to bring the film to life. you knew your lives were in one another's hands and it united you very closely,

and you didn't let anything interfere with that. we actually got the new zealand army to do some live firing for us, so all the shell noises where you hear the shells flying are real shells. and the explosions are live explosions. the new zealand artillery did a live firing thing and we had microphones all over the place, getting all these howling shells. so that's not made up. all that stuff's real. you lived like tramps... one thing i would hope it would do for schoolkids is to inspire them to delve into their own family histories. the best thing that anybody can do is just to look and see, "what part did my family play in this war?" you can learn some amazing things. peterjackson talking to will gompertz, and the film they shall not grow old will be screened simultaneously on 16 october in 249 cinemas across the uk. newsnight is on bbc two. now it is

time to the news where you are. hello, you're watching bbc news, the time is 10:32 here's what's coming up on sportsday this evening. kirby scores again, but the lionesses can't hold onto the lead against the matildas we'll hear from the home nations men's teams as they prepare for their matches in the international break and england's cricketers will be looking to live up to their position at the of the one day rankings. their series in sri lanka starts in the morning hello and welcome to sportsday

evening, england lionesses drew 1—all against australia tonight at fulham's craven cottage. it was only a friendly, but the teams could meet at next summer's world cup and england really should have put the game out of sight had it not been for some very poor refereeing. let's cross live now to the gorund and speak to our reporter jo currie. hijo, unbeaten in the international break but england should have made it two out of two. phil neville did pretty well to keep a lid absolutely. it was an eventful evening to say the least. plenty to be said about the refereeing, but they cannot get away from the fact that as they were on saturday, wasteful this evening. just to give

you some statistics, they had 17 shots on saturday, they had 23. across two matches, the only scored one goal in each. the players all things, it isjust one goal in each. the players all things, it is just not good enough. they dominated right from the off and on the 20 minute mark, the eventually took the lead. a wonderful game, good work from her in the box from the goalkeeper, unselfishly, on the back post. does michelson two matches for her. england didn't proceeded to dominate, 84 minutes, they got to the lead and equalised, across the quarter. running up from the corner, what airheaded this is from her. standing, possibly three or four,

they said that they were not ruthless enough with a month to go before the world cup it is something that they absolutely have to work him before then. throw the statistics, the shots that they had on goal over those two matches against australia and brazil. but i thought phil neville did pretty well to keep a lid on his obvious anger, there were some very basic errors from the officials. yes, from start to finish really. the officiating was very poor. bear in mind, we spoke to fill, he had done tv lied and been through, he had some time to calm down but he was still incredibly unhappy and it is very understandable as well, if you watch the match. england, but it does my potential goals and two potential penalty decisions as well. the first of which, the goal ruled out for offside, the congress of,

probably should've shot, unselfishly. shows the plan the fourth at the back of the net, only for the goal to be ruled out. england then thought they got the goal over the line, didn't he two penalty decisions. just before the half—time it looked like she had been tripped, penalty not given. and in towards the end, she was sure this was a penalty. she and then later on having a penalty decision where that second penalty decision in particular, so the periphery was close, really should've done better without it he says in general, refereeing in the game is not good enough innings to get better, particularly ahead of that major tournament in france. my biggest concern about going to the world cup is maybe the standard of refereeing.

it is improving, it is always improving. but the referee on saturday, portuguese or free on saturday, portuguese or free on saturday, the french are free today. the second penalty was the biggest concern because she was actually nearer to the actual penalty, and she referred to the linesman for help, which for me was astounding really. i i think most of the headlines will be about the refereeing, but a win against brazil and a draw against australia, with the world cup design next year. they've only got one more game at the moment for the end of the year, they will be playing sweden in november. first chance and make an impression,

croatia on friday and in spain, the 18—year—old is something than to the top this season, they've base croatia behind closed doors. punishment for a swastika being brought into the pitch in the euro qualifier three years ago. in the world cup semifinals three months ago when croatia of course, the team will stop you like these of the teams we want to play against, if you want to play gets the best. i do not take it as a distraction. you wa nt to not take it as a distraction. you want to play as many as you can. it does not matter who were playing against. we want to play as many games as we can. i've ever played in a game behind closed doors before, so they will be a good experience. and we will come in fully focused and hungry to get the point. spain actually face wales on thursday in cardiff in a friendly. the welsh maanger ryan giggs says his squad's youngsters remind him of manchester united's celebrated class of ‘92, of which he was a star member. amongst the new wave of welsh talent is liverpool's harry wilson

who is looking forward to the challenge that the spaniards will bring. i think everybody wants to play to test themselves, against the quality that they've got all the pitch. whether it be an home of the stadium, they're hoping to get a full house. so we're hoping to put ona full house. so we're hoping to put on a performance to impress the fans. northern ireland are playing austria away on friday, kyle lafferty has ruled himself out of that game. scotland are in israel in the nations league on thursday. much of the build up has centred around leigh griffiths — who withdrew from the squad — citing a lack of fitness. but alex mcleish says he respects the strikers decision. everybody has issues and the personal life and to respect the decision. you know, and i do not

wa nt to decision. you know, and i do not want to throw him under a bus. and there was no one a —— no animosity whatsoever. i see his body language, ican whatsoever. i see his body language, i can see him not wanting to. pakistan have a massive lead in the first test after an almighty collapse from australia in dubai. australia were going along nicely at 142 without loss, but were all out for 202 on the third day. that was in reply to pakistans first innings of 482. 0peners usman khawaja and aaron finch reached half centuriees but only two other batsmen made double figures. bilal hasif took 6—36 on his test debut. pakistan chose not to enforce the follow — and they lost wickets before the close, finishing on 45—3. a lead of 325. the england cricket vice—captain jos buttler says he's happy that they're favourites to beat sri lanka in the one—day

series, which starts tomorrow. their preparation hasn't been ideal, with the first warm—up game cut short and the second washed out completely because of heavy rain. only four batsmen have spent any time in the middle and they have a poor record in sri la nka they have shown going with bangladesh and winning in those conditions. we have to do the same here. you are considered to be favourites for the series, how do you feel about that? yes, i'll be like being favourites. that means you're doing well. being on top of the rankings come i think the guys enjoy that pressure of being the number one. and obviously, going glam playing international cricket isa glam playing international cricket is a real tough challenge, but i don't think there's anything that

worries us. that's all from sportsday. coming up next on bbc news it's the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are caroline wheeler, who's the deputy political editor at the sunday times, and the politicaljournalist, jane merrick. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily mail reports that school pupils are to be given routine mental health checks. teachers will be trained to carry out the ‘wellbeing' assessments at primary and secondary schools.

the daily telegraph says the royal college of psychiatrists is to review its opposition to the legalisation of cannabis — despite its concerns over the risks the drug poses to users' mental health. the i says health chiefs are calling for an army of unpaid helpers to support exhausted medical staff and improve patient care. according to the metro, one of the spies accused of carrying out the salisbury poisonings had his identity exposed by his grandmother. the financial times says the bank of england has issued its starkest warning yet that up to 41 trillion pounds of derivatives contracts maturing after brexit are at risk — unless european officials urgently address regulatory uncertainty. the guardian reports on comments from the former prime minister gordon brown — who says britain is on course for a summer of discontent over universal credit. the daily express says soaring

property prices have forced more than a quarter of young adults to live with their parents. and the times reports that a third of young people abstain from alcohol — and the proportion of them who have never tried it has almost doubled in the past decade. so, lots of different stories on the front pages today. let's start here with the male. mental health checks for all peoples, including primary i think this is really welcome, actually. at the moment, there's not actually. at the moment, there's not a lot of detail of what they're talking about here. the daily mail talks about mental health well—being assessments being at primary school, i think that it also talks about them publishing some sort of

happiness index. but at the heart of the story, but it is a kind of the mental health ticking time bomb within the schools. and one of the horrifying statistics that is on the front page of the daily mail is that obviously girls are at more risk of health problems with self harming reported among 8—bit of them. which is apparent, is absolutely terrifying. and there is a great spectrum that you can look at in terms of health problems in schools. but actually, just looking at things like anxiety, things about the age in which children are at primary school. the very overwhelmed by very small things, which if they are not taught how to cope with, you can teach them some successful strategies for those stressful events that happen to us later on in life. how they're going to
