Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Alex Jones.

:00:14.:00:16.

On tonight's show we have an exclusive that's going to take us

:00:17.:00:21.

and all of you to dizzying new heights.

:00:22.:00:23.

Yes, we've got the exclusive first look at the view from this,

:00:24.:00:28.

the spectacular 530 foot i360 tower in Brighton ahead of it's

:00:29.:00:33.

We're also reaching for the stars with a performance from an artist

:00:34.:00:44.

who has sold over 44 million records and won two Grammy

:00:45.:00:47.

But first let's meet a Hollywood star who's taken on robots,

:00:48.:01:00.

Doesn't take her heels off, even to run.

:01:01.:01:22.

Did you really keep those shoes on the whole time?!

:01:23.:01:31.

Sometimes it's easier to run in heels isn't it? Listen, I'm all for

:01:32.:01:45.

trainers, love sneakers when I'm running, but, because it was

:01:46.:01:47.

appropriate for the character, I needed to kind of figure out how to

:01:48.:01:53.

run in heels and I just realised it's about the tiptoes. You stay on

:01:54.:01:58.

your tippy toes, gives you spring. It's how sprinters run anyway. So

:01:59.:02:03.

you didn't have a stunt double then? No, I was doing that. There was a

:02:04.:02:07.

wonderful stunt double because it's an action film. Her name is Whitney

:02:08.:02:14.

and she's amazing. She did that. Big fan of the One Show

:02:15.:02:23.

be talking all about your new movie Pete's Dragon later on.

:02:24.:02:31.

As the value of the pound began to fall in the aftermath

:02:32.:02:34.

of June's Brexit vote, there was talk of foreign holidays

:02:35.:02:37.

becoming so expensive that Brits would be 'forced'

:02:38.:02:41.

But should those who usually head overseas really see

:02:42.:02:45.

Apparently. The big summer get away is upon us. While most would be

:02:46.:03:02.

heading abroad, recent surveys have shown that pro-Brexit, a fifth of

:03:03.:03:07.

businesses have had an increase in bookings for UK trips an one in five

:03:08.:03:10.

are more likely to consider holidaying at home in a so-called

:03:11.:03:15.

staycation. And, as the holiday-makers stop to refuel their

:03:16.:03:18.

cars and themselves, I want to know, are they heading towards the airport

:03:19.:03:22.

and far away lands or somewhere a bit closer to home? And what are

:03:23.:03:28.

their reasons for doing this? Where are you guys going? Near Poole. How

:03:29.:03:32.

does your trip here compare to one abroad? Just as good. Less hassle.

:03:33.:03:38.

It would be nice to go abroad but it's just as fun going to another

:03:39.:03:42.

place here. You have to go through the airports, the security, you have

:03:43.:03:45.

got to have your bags checked and with children and a newborn, it's

:03:46.:03:49.

impossible. Are you happy, little man? Yes. Where are you off to?

:03:50.:03:54.

Weymouth to the caravan. It's a lovely place. The people are nice,

:03:55.:03:58.

the weather is lovely. There are funfair rides. It's the traditional

:03:59.:04:03.

coastal English town, I suppose. We are going to go and see Stonehenge.

:04:04.:04:11.

Excited by it? Yes. The exchange rate is not in favour at the moment.

:04:12.:04:15.

If you are going to spend euros, you are not getting a good rate. The UK

:04:16.:04:20.

is beautiful, a lot of character and history. There is a lot to offer

:04:21.:04:25.

here. The weather can be temperamental, but we were in the

:04:26.:04:28.

south of France a few weeks ago and the weather was rubbish there. For

:04:29.:04:33.

so many in the UK, a trip here is fine, but for a lot of us, a holiday

:04:34.:04:38.

isn't the same unless you are heading abroad. Why didn't you

:04:39.:04:41.

choose a holiday in the UK? I prefer to jump on a plane, go where the sun

:04:42.:04:46.

is. Why have you chosen Portugal and not a trip in the UK? It's more

:04:47.:04:50.

exotic, better for the kids, somewhere different for the kids.

:04:51.:04:54.

Can the UK compare to Portugal? Given that it's cheap to travel

:04:55.:04:58.

overseas and obviously... We are still a member of the European

:04:59.:05:04.

Union. While we are, get in there! Poole in Dorset is a popular UK

:05:05.:05:07.

destination, so I thought I would pop along there to see if they have

:05:08.:05:11.

seen a rise in tourist numbers. We have seen an increase in year which

:05:12.:05:15.

we put down to people having a great holiday experience and wanting to

:05:16.:05:19.

come back again. What impact does the rise in numbers coming to parks

:05:20.:05:24.

like this have on the local area? It's about cooperation, the local

:05:25.:05:28.

attractions, restaurants, the town, and also they are investing

:05:29.:05:31.

themselves. Do you think with changes in the pound and Brexit

:05:32.:05:35.

factors have played a part in people coming here? I don't think that's

:05:36.:05:39.

what's driving it. People are loving their holidays and if they love it

:05:40.:05:42.

they'll come back and tell their friends. Alex Nick and their

:05:43.:05:47.

children Maya and Max have chosen Poole for their seven-day UK break.

:05:48.:05:51.

We have been abroad before but it's much more relaxed when you have

:05:52.:05:53.

younger children and you are driving somewhere. We can pack a lot more

:05:54.:05:57.

stuff to take with us. Will you go away from this seven days relaxed,

:05:58.:06:02.

rejuvenated like how you imagine a holiday abroad to leave you feeling?

:06:03.:06:06.

Yes, spending time with the family still, which is the most important

:06:07.:06:09.

thing. So holiday not home is on the rise.

:06:10.:06:13.

Is it really anything to do with Brexit do you think? Yes, and no.

:06:14.:06:18.

People have always had holidays in the UK and the number of people

:06:19.:06:22.

staying in the UK's gone up in the last five years, that's all before

:06:23.:06:25.

brex so it in some ways it has nothing to do with it at all.

:06:26.:06:29.

However, the Brexit vote weakened the pound, therefore going abroad is

:06:30.:06:33.

more expensive and there are a few other things like heightened

:06:34.:06:37.

security risks in places like Egypt or Turkey or Tunisia. Those people

:06:38.:06:43.

who may have gone there four or five years ago may be staying in the UK

:06:44.:06:51.

this year instead. What about the money? It's 1. 18 euros to the pound

:06:52.:06:58.

today and back in January it was 1. 36, so in terms of having ?100 cash

:06:59.:07:03.

and changing it for euros you would get 18 fewer euros today for your

:07:04.:07:08.

?100 so if you were in Paris that would buy you three beers, if you

:07:09.:07:12.

were in Bratislava, that would buy you 12, just in case that influences

:07:13.:07:18.

your decision. It's not good for anyone when a currency becomes

:07:19.:07:23.

lower. You say that but it's good for our home market because more

:07:24.:07:27.

people are coming here. OK, OK, I have thought about it.

:07:28.:07:31.

LAUGHTER. So people are coming over here on holiday. Where are they

:07:32.:07:34.

heading for? Top three places. Where would you go first of all in the UK,

:07:35.:07:40.

what is the most popular place? Pembrokeshire. Realry? I have a lot

:07:41.:07:46.

of friends in brighton, but, you know the beaches are beautiful.

:07:47.:07:50.

Brilliant film coming up with the massive tower on that. Anyway, carry

:07:51.:07:56.

on? London. London. Edinburgh. Manchester is number three. Also in

:07:57.:08:02.

the top 20, Reading and Southampton. Is Reading that dual of Berkshire on

:08:03.:08:07.

your trip? Not at the moment. It's very well connected. Lovely new

:08:08.:08:12.

station. Reading seriously? It's a nice place but I wouldn't think of

:08:13.:08:15.

it as a holiday nest nation would you? Perhaps not, no. If people go

:08:16.:08:20.

to the north-east it's about what they do, one in five people who go

:08:21.:08:24.

to north-east go and see a live game of football. I can understand that

:08:25.:08:29.

definitely. And see a few castles. In terms of Wales, 60% claim they

:08:30.:08:34.

socialise with the locals. Not sure what they means. That means that

:08:35.:08:41.

they are going to the pub. Yes, it does. So people are getting out

:08:42.:08:47.

there, enjoying it. Well, if you are, have fun. They are lovely to

:08:48.:08:49.

talk to, this lot. In just two days time we're

:08:50.:08:56.

going on our very own Staycation - as we head to the village

:08:57.:08:58.

of Weobley, and let them take over The villagers will be putting

:08:59.:09:02.

on a bit of a street party for us, and running some traditional Weobley

:09:03.:09:06.

games, which includes the first Now if your village also has some

:09:07.:09:09.

unusual games we want Send us a photo and tell us

:09:10.:09:25.

all about its history, the rules, the current record

:09:26.:09:29.

holder and we'll show some Now to the fictional forest of

:09:30.:09:46.

Millhaven where Bryce's film is set. Let us see the moment when your

:09:47.:09:52.

character gets to meet Elliott the dragon.

:09:53.:10:05.

APPLAUSE. Aw. It's just the most beautiful

:10:06.:10:21.

movie, it really is extraordinary. But we understand that that

:10:22.:10:25.

particular scene was pretty painful for other reasons? Oh, my gosh. So

:10:26.:10:31.

here is what I should say. New Zealand has no predators. Like truly

:10:32.:10:35.

there is no predators in New Zealand, so like Australia got all

:10:36.:10:40.

of them and so there's not a creature to like go around and eat

:10:41.:10:46.

the bugs. Help clean up, yes. And I was shooting this scene and there

:10:47.:10:50.

were just these little might row scopic bugs that just were swimming

:10:51.:10:55.

everywhere and were driving people crazy and I was getting ready to

:10:56.:11:00.

shoot the e-Megsal part and then two bugs flew into my eye and then

:11:01.:11:07.

disappeared behind my eye. So I have two little bug carcasses currently

:11:08.:11:15.

in my body. Oh! Gosh. My eyes were watery. And the director was saying

:11:16.:11:23.

"real tears"! It's a remake of the 1977 Disney classic and we were told

:11:24.:11:26.

that you were worried about taking on if role originally because you

:11:27.:11:30.

loved the original story and worried it would veer off a bit too much?

:11:31.:11:36.

Yes. It's so sad because I realise I've become one of those movie-goers

:11:37.:11:41.

that if like someone wants to remake a movie from my childhood, I'm just

:11:42.:11:47.

like, how dare they! It's like, you know, you need to find new ways to

:11:48.:11:53.

tell stories that resonated with previous generations. So I actually

:11:54.:12:00.

like sneakily got the swrift, nobody knew that I found a way to get the

:12:01.:12:05.

script. How did you get it? Maybe some friends who knew people who

:12:06.:12:09.

were involved and I said, maybe I won't tell anyone until I'm on a

:12:10.:12:15.

show in England. I got the script because I was most lie sceptical and

:12:16.:12:19.

I was like, what are they going to do, how can they make it better, the

:12:20.:12:24.

music and the dragon can't be better, it was such a great film.

:12:25.:12:29.

And I read the script and I was, I mean, crying instantaneously and it

:12:30.:12:34.

really touched me as a parent. The things that resonated so deeply in

:12:35.:12:38.

me as a child remained intact in this film and I just love this

:12:39.:12:44.

movie. It's classic Disney isn't it, hitting all the right notes. I don't

:12:45.:12:48.

know what you want to say, but it's all about belonging and your place

:12:49.:12:53.

really in the world and you doing what matters most for you? Yes,

:12:54.:12:59.

exactly. This is a little boy who is alone, he's an orphan and he

:13:00.:13:02.

encounters another orphan who happens to be a big fluffy green

:13:03.:13:08.

adorable dragon. As you do. Yes, as you do in those circumstances when

:13:09.:13:14.

you're alone and their friendship is just beautiful and time passes. Then

:13:15.:13:22.

my character finds this little boy in the woods and it gets

:13:23.:13:27.

complicated, lots of things happen and then it's triumphant in the end.

:13:28.:13:32.

Did I explain the movie well? ! You did. Perfectly. It resonates with me

:13:33.:13:38.

a lot. There is that kind of rural upbringing, certainly your character

:13:39.:13:41.

just wants to be out in the woods and this, that and the other and

:13:42.:13:46.

that mirrors your childhood because your dad, the legendary director Ron

:13:47.:13:49.

Howard bought this farm. Is it because he wanted to give you that

:13:50.:13:57.

sheltered upbringing? Yes. We moved to Connecticut when I was four and

:13:58.:14:02.

our house was really lovely and we were surrounded by woods. I'm the

:14:03.:14:07.

oldest of four kids and my younger sisters are twins and my brother was

:14:08.:14:14.

born almost immediately afterwards whoops-Daisy, here in England

:14:15.:14:17.

actually. So I spent a lot of time in the forest because, you know, my

:14:18.:14:21.

parents were just trying to survive the younger kids and I would leave

:14:22.:14:28.

in the morning and had an imaginary friend. We were going to the forest

:14:29.:14:41.

to do grand speeches to kingdoms of tearies and there was a unicorn and

:14:42.:14:44.

it was the whole thing and I would come back when it started to get

:14:45.:14:48.

dark. It was just this very innocent, very pure childhood that I

:14:49.:14:54.

had. Going to New Zealand and getting to, you know, be in the

:14:55.:14:58.

forest and my children were there and, you know, it was really

:14:59.:15:04.

meaningful to me. Sure. Pete's Dragon is in cinemas 12th August.

:15:05.:15:06.

Take tissues. As Team GB settle into their

:15:07.:15:11.

training camp in Belo Horizonte in southeastern Brazil,

:15:12.:15:14.

they'll all be reflecting upon the blood, sweat and tears that

:15:15.:15:15.

brought them this far. Marathon runner Tsegai Tewelde has

:15:16.:15:18.

been through more than most to earn his place in Rio,

:15:19.:15:21.

as Iwan recently found out. Since I was young, I had an ambition

:15:22.:15:39.

to compete. Earlier this year, 26-year-old Tsegai Tewelde finished

:15:40.:15:47.

12th in the marathon in London. His time is fast enough to earn him a

:15:48.:15:52.

seat to Brazil. Representing Great Britain in the Olympics was

:15:53.:15:56.

everything to me, it is the pinnacle of an athlete's career and the

:15:57.:16:04.

sacrifice and hard work is huge. But Tsegai's sacrifice is another level.

:16:05.:16:09.

He grew up in the secretive 1-party state of Eritrea that split from

:16:10.:16:13.

Ethiopia in the 90s after 30 years of war. At 18 he was among athletes

:16:14.:16:19.

chosen to represent Eritrea in the world cross-country Championships in

:16:20.:16:22.

Edinburgh and their coach had high hopes. Did you run well? Not much. I

:16:23.:16:34.

was supposed to run better. Tsegai finished a disappointing 19th in

:16:35.:16:37.

unfamiliar conditions and along with his team-mates feared what might

:16:38.:16:41.

happen when they flew home. Very early one morning, six of them

:16:42.:16:47.

sneaked away to the top of the famous Edinburgh landmark Arthur's

:16:48.:16:50.

seat for a crunch meeting. Were you scared? Yes, I was scared. I was

:16:51.:16:56.

suffering. Everything changed for us, that day. They decided not to

:16:57.:17:05.

fly home. Instead they pooled their money and bought six train tickets

:17:06.:17:10.

to Glasgow. They went to the nearest police station to seek asylum and

:17:11.:17:14.

they did not know that night would be the start of a new life. He

:17:15.:17:19.

brought me to their first home in Glasgow. It may be rubble now but it

:17:20.:17:24.

was once the Red Road flats made famous when the demolition did not

:17:25.:17:29.

quite go to plan. How different was life in Scotland compared to home?

:17:30.:17:33.

Totally different. Everything. Food. Drink. To help them settle in, the

:17:34.:17:41.

Scottish Refugee Council pointed them in the direction of an

:17:42.:17:45.

athletics club and was the coaching for a surprise. The six them

:17:46.:17:52.

appeared still in the tracksuits for Eritrea. We were gobsmacked. The

:17:53.:17:57.

club rallied to support them. The athletes repaid the club the only

:17:58.:18:03.

way they knew how. They are a successful club that suddenly even

:18:04.:18:09.

better at UK level, winning national titles. Life off the track has not

:18:10.:18:18.

always been easy and Tsegai has needed operations to remove shrapnel

:18:19.:18:22.

from injuries he sustained as a child in a landmine explosion. My

:18:23.:18:28.

involvement is more like a father figure. The last eight years, he has

:18:29.:18:33.

had ups and downs. It is not easy to come to a new country, settle in and

:18:34.:18:42.

develop as a world-class athlete. It is clear to see that Tsegai has

:18:43.:18:46.

become a big part of life of the club will stop it gives us

:18:47.:18:52.

something, inspiration. And it makes us feel we could do that because he

:18:53.:18:57.

started here. When you train with him you can ask for tips, how to get

:18:58.:19:03.

faster, and maybe if you get faster you will be at the Olympics. Do you

:19:04.:19:13.

feel safe here? Yes, I feel at home. Five of the Eritreans have been

:19:14.:19:17.

granted British citizenship and the sixth is about to resit the test

:19:18.:19:24.

soon. For Tsegai, his ambition to be an Olympian is about to be realised

:19:25.:19:29.

and he will run for Team GB. In terms of John and others who have

:19:30.:19:33.

been kind to you, what would be your dream from Rio to repay them? You

:19:34.:19:38.

have a smile on your face, could you get a medal? Maybe. Good luck to him

:19:39.:19:47.

and if you want to see how he gets on you have to wait until August the

:19:48.:19:51.

21st, the last day of the Olympics. I cannot believe the Olympics are

:19:52.:19:59.

almost here. Look who has come inside to join us for a chat, it is

:20:00.:20:08.

Liao -- LeAnn Rimes. Unbelievably it is 20 years since your first single.

:20:09.:20:15.

People could not believe how old you were initially when you first

:20:16.:20:21.

started. I wasn't 13 and I am not 33 now, I just have a good plastic

:20:22.:20:28.

surgeon! My voice was mature. For 13, yes. But I was still a baby. You

:20:29.:20:36.

have a new album, Remnants, about love and all its guises. It is. I

:20:37.:20:42.

look at love from many angles, receiving, giving love, standing up

:20:43.:20:48.

for love, making love. It is a powerful record. It is kind of

:20:49.:21:00.

finding your own self empowerment. It is inspirational. I had fun

:21:01.:21:04.

making it and it was inspirational to make the record, it was a healing

:21:05.:21:09.

record and I hope people get that out of it. And the song the Story,

:21:10.:21:17.

where does it sitting? It was recorded by an artist in the States

:21:18.:21:21.

ten years ago. By reference to the songs to the record label and the

:21:22.:21:26.

head of the record label said, we don't know this song, you must cut

:21:27.:21:31.

this. I thought, I have not thought about that, but I have always been

:21:32.:21:36.

in love with the song and in my story it fits the beginning of the

:21:37.:21:41.

next 20 years, it fits so well. It worked. You will be performing that

:21:42.:21:48.

live outside shortly. I am sorry it is raining and it is a bit cold. You

:21:49.:21:50.

know it is August? ! Anyone scared of heights,

:21:51.:21:56.

the South Coast, or Marty We started the show

:21:57.:21:58.

looking at holidays. And from this Thursday there will be

:21:59.:22:06.

another massive reason Brighton on the Sussex coast is

:22:07.:22:21.

famous for its seaside attractions, some controversial and outlandish

:22:22.:22:24.

and some triumphs of engineering genius. Now there is a new

:22:25.:22:30.

attraction to hit the beach-front and it is all of those things. After

:22:31.:22:39.

two years of construction, a ?46 million super skinny, super tall

:22:40.:22:45.

tower, the British Airways i360 is finally ready to open and I am here

:22:46.:22:49.

for an exclusive sneak preview. It was designed by David Marks and

:22:50.:22:55.

Julia Barfield, the same team behind the London eye. It is a moving

:22:56.:23:01.

experience, it slowly rises from the ground to a height of 138 metres,

:23:02.:23:07.

giving a magnificent view. You see a Panorama on folding. While most

:23:08.:23:15.

observation towers are fixed platforms, this works slightly

:23:16.:23:18.

differently. The 70 tonne pod is winched up the tower using eight

:23:19.:23:24.

car works, which means the central pole can be super-thin. It is

:23:28.:23:33.

officially the world's thinnest tall tower, 40 times taller than it is

:23:34.:23:37.

wide, but being tall and thin creates problems. It is more like a

:23:38.:23:44.

flagpole, a palm tree, than a traditional tall building, which

:23:45.:23:47.

makes it extremely vulnerable to the wind. The 6.5 beta foundations mean

:23:48.:23:57.

the tower can sway up to one metre without anyone noticing, but because

:23:58.:24:01.

of its shape, some gusts of wind can cause the tower to vibrate, making

:24:02.:24:08.

for an uncomfortable ride. Doctor John Roberts is the chief engineer.

:24:09.:24:13.

The wind blows around the circular shape and causes turbulence on the

:24:14.:24:18.

far side, which makes the tower likely to move. We want passengers

:24:19.:24:24.

to have a comfortable journey. This secret to stopping the tower

vibrating might surprise you. It is full of 76 tubs of water. We have

:24:31.:24:35.

installed cladding on the tower, which filters the wind. The main

:24:36.:24:40.

thing we have done is install a huge number of sloshing liquid dampers. A

:24:41.:24:49.

small scale model here, and they are bigger than this. They run in a

:24:50.:24:53.

circle mostly at the top of the tower. The water can radically

:24:54.:25:00.

reduce the vibrations. Let me show you. I have built my own towers. As

:25:01.:25:07.

you can see, we have a wobble problem but if I put in water at the

:25:08.:25:14.

top this, to create a sloshing damper, when I give them a gentle

:25:15.:25:22.

wobble, the energy is absorbed and this one comes to a rest much

:25:23.:25:28.

quicker than this one. The vibrations caused by the wind are

:25:29.:25:32.

soaked up by the water, stopping the tower wobbling. This clever

:25:33.:25:37.

engineering means the pod will be able to keep operating, even in wind

greater than 40 mph, which is good news, as I have been offered a sneak

peak of the view from the top. This is the first time anyone outside the

:25:51.:25:56.

i360 team has seen this view. The view is astonishing. It is a

:25:57.:26:01.

beautiful sight. And even though the wind is blowing off the sea at a

:26:02.:26:07.

pace, the pod is super stable. You cannot feel movement, the dampers

:26:08.:26:11.

are doing their job, the tower is stable. At a cost of ?46 million,

:26:12.:26:19.

the owners will need to sell more than 3 million tickets to get their

:26:20.:26:23.

money back. It is a good job it can stay open in a spot of blustery

:26:24.:26:29.

British weather. Brighton finally has another bonkers but brilliant

:26:30.:26:32.

piece of engineering. Wow. The secret, water tanks.

:26:33.:26:40.

Unbelievable. A brilliant place to propose.

Pete's Dragon is in cinemas from August 12th.

:26:44.:26:51.

We're heading to Weobley tomorrow, so Matt Allwright and Angela Scanlon

:26:52.:26:53.

with Ewan McGregor joining them on the sofa.

:26:54.:26:56.

But playing us out with her new single, The Story,

:26:57.:26:59.

which is out right now, it's LeAnn Rimes.

:27:00.:27:02.

# But these stories don't mean anything

:27:03.:27:32.

# When you've got no one to tell them to

:27:33.:27:36.

# I climbed across the mountain tops

:27:37.:27:51.

# I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules

:27:52.:28:01.

# But baby I broke them all for you

:28:02.:28:11.

# Because even when I was flat broke

:28:12.:28:13.

# You made me feel like a million bucks

:28:14.:28:19.

# You do and I was made for you

:28:20.:28:27.

# You see the smile that's on my mouth

:28:28.:28:31.

# It's hiding the words that don't come out

:28:32.:28:36.

# They don't know my head is a mess

:28:37.:28:47.

# No, they don't know who I really am

:28:48.:28:53.

# And they don't know what I've been through like you do

:28:54.:28:59.

# But these stories don't mean anything

:29:00.:29:30.

# When you've got no one to tell them to

:29:31.:30:11.

I remember it so clearly. Girl power!
