09/06/2014 The One Show

Hello. And welcome to the One Show, with Jones and:

Sit yourself down. You were performing on stage in Chesterfield.

Did they sing for you? They all sang happy birthday. The only thing was

it was in different sections. Really, because I told them, I think

they knew it was... This is all to do with, I mean you have this

massive tour coming up. It is not a little tour. No, no, three months.

June, July and August. You are celebrating 50 years. Well, it will

be 50 years. I recorded It's Not Unusual in 1965. It is almost 50

years. Your career... Where do you start the 50 years from. From the

number one - straight in there! Well, we were thinking over the 50

years you have duetted with some amazing people. We thought how to

narrow it down. We came one a wheel. You glim ped this. This is the wheel

of collaborations. You can spin it later on. We will have a chat about

who it ends up pointing at. Sounds good? Yes. We will try and Bend it

Like Beckham for Children In Need, by recreating this epic free kick

against Columbia at the World Cup in 1998. That's bek ham! Oh, it's in!

It was amazing! We have recreated the same set - the same distance.

Defenders, slightly different. We want people to come down and have a

go at kicking it. We'll charge a pound. That will go to Children In

Need. A lot of people have been here this afternoon. He got it in! It

went from a bounce, he's not really allowed. That We'll have a go later.

Can you coach me? I can't Bend it Like Beckham. I need to change my

shoes. I have some flats Ofsted chief said a culture of fear and

intimidation has taken grip in some Birmingham schools. Shortly we'll

talk to Kurt Barling as Muslim hardliners in school. First we have

access to a school in Birmingham. This school is not part of the

allegations, but has a battle of its own to cope with. Al-Hijrah is

funded by the state but run by a religious charity. The exam results

are good, but Ofsted said it is badly managed. Six days ago the

governors were officially banned from the site. Until last week they

were very much there and very much in control. Lurking in the

background question marks into religious extremism. In the middle

of this confusion, pupils, sitting their GCSEs. I will go to the school

to see how it has impacted on the parents and the children. Tensions

are high here. Al-Hijrah has been given notice to improve by off fed.

The koun -- Ofsted. The council said it is concerned. It is ?889,000 in

the red. This is officially now the ex-chair

of governors, but surprisingly, he still has access to the school and

let us spend the day there. It is prayer time now? Yes, for some of

the children. What we are seeing here is actually

a normal part of every day life in this school. Children will come once

a day to an act of worship. It is led, actually, by a very young

pupil. Our guide is keen to show us that

everything in the school is operating as usual.

You get the sense, with all this turmoil, things cannot be quite so

straightforward. Three head teachers in 18 months - it rings alarm bells.

Explain that. I agree. We have not been allowed by the local authority

to appoint a permanent head teacher since last April. The first time...

The local authority's fault? Yes. Is this school being managed properly?

Financially? We receive ?1800 per pupil less compared to Birmingham

council spent on other children in Birmingham. Secondly, we don't

manage our finances, the local authority approves every invoice,

every payment and they make every payment. Following the council's

decision to sack him and ten other governors, a new interim board has

been approved by Michael Gove to take over the running of the school.

The problem is they have not been able to get in yet, as the old

governors will not let them through the door. Some of the parents we

spoke to still support the sacked board.

I want my kid... I think the education is really good. What it is

they are attacking the faith, really. I am happy with everything.

My concern, why targeting Muslim schools? Is it fair to say there is

suspicion among the parents and perhaps the school leadership of the

local authority? And there is suspicion of the local authority of

the school and the parents. That is the thing. There is a lot of

confusion, suspicion. How can a school that was outstanding. How can

72.4% pass rate be a failing school? It doesn't make any sense. Like most

schools that deliver strong results, Al-Hijrah advertise their successes

openly. I get the sense parents and school believe they are being judged

by different criteria. Faith is a fundamental part of the life of this

school. But are outsiders adding two and two

and getting five, if they are making a link between that and infiltration

by extremists? Having said all along that the school was not being

investigated as being part of operation Trojan Horse, Birmingham

City council suddenly told the One Show on Friday that it could not

confirm whether or not this was the case. The quality of teaching... It

is another criticism in the report. Most of the teachers are delivering

a good education. Children are leaving here with useable

qualifications. Do you think the objective is to shut the school

down? No, I don't think so. I believe a tiny minority will have

the objective to make the results poorer and therefore to fit into a

narrative that all Islamic schools are failing schools. Ultimately the

reason this story has come to the fore is not because you are an

inadequate school, it is because there's this fear that the school

and the children will be subjected to extremism and radicalisation.

Absolutely correct. If it is in your interest to be worried about

extremism, it is in my interest, twice as much. My kids will suffer

from it and I will be blamed for it. So, it is twice as much in our

interest to prevent it and not to allow it to happen.

Now, you spoke to a lot of parents in the film who were pro the school.

That is not the full picture. The Ofsted report said about two out of

five of the parents they spoke to in a questionnaire said that they were

unhappy with the state of the education in that school. And, of

course, Birmingham City Council, we asked them to talk to us too. As you

can see, they didn't talk to us, because they were not in the film.

What does the future hold for that school? The majority of those

children are doing their GCSEs at the moment? A lot are, at the top of

the school. It is a school aged four to 16. It is unusual in that

respect. The head teacher, since we made that film, has been sacked. The

man you saw in the film has been banned from going on-sight.

-- on-site. The interim executive board, put in place, Birmingham City

Council on the orders of the Secretary of State, is responsible

for taking charge. If they can get? . . -- Can get in? Parents are

suspicion about what will happen because it directly affects their

children. It is an important stage in their education, isn't it? The

Ofsted report released today, that has looked at 21 schools. What were

the main things that came out of that? 21 schools in Birmingham have

been investigated. Three were good or outsdanding. 12 were found to --

outstanding. 12 were found to need improvement. The remaining six were

found to be inadequate. They are in special measures. These include

three academies from the Park View Educational Trust. That trust says

those claims are not true. They are unfounded. Now, what has been said

about what is happening in the schools, the Secretary of State for

education gave a statement to the House of Commons this afternoon. He

said there's a culture of fear and intimidation in the schools. Here is

an example, some of the head teachers have said they are being

obliged to do things they didn't think were right. And effectively

acted as whistle-blowers. The Ofsted report found that in some cases

there was a limited knowledge of alternative beliefs. These are state

schools w a Muslim majority of children, but nevertheless have a

responsible to teach children about all faiths practiced in Britain. No

doubt there'll be an investigation. At the end of the day, it is about

the children and their education. Now George is about to introduce us

to a remarkable creature that will make you look at your guard no-one a

different light. The last place you would expect to

find one of the hardiest living things on the planet is here in the

heart of Cambridge. I am on the hunt for a creature which can tolerate

intense heat and extreme cold, can survive high levels of radiation and

even endure the vacuum of space. Closer to home, it can be found all

over Britain in woods, urban areas and even in the garden.

In this moss there should be a quite a few of them. As they are

microscopic, I will need specialist equipment to see them. In the lab I

can get a closer look. Look at them! It has little feet.

These microscopic animals are known as the Water bear, or the moss

piglet. . You can see why. There are more than 900 species of this in the

world. They can be found in extreme environments from, the North Pole to

the Sahara desert. What is really interesting about

them is they are incredible survivors. So far, research has

shown they can last at least 20 years without food or water. It

could be a lot more than that. This man, professor of biology at the

University of Cambridge, has been testing how tough these little

creatures really are. They have an amazing ability to dry out Get to

the dry state, they call it. If we lost 15% of the water in your

bodies, that is it, we would be dead. They have lost most of the

water and are in a state of suspended animation. It is in this

dried out state they are indestruct table. There have been tests carried

out, showing they can withstand extreme conditions. They can survive

the temperature of boiling water, 100 degrees Celsius and even

sub-zero temperatures. This is something I have always wanted to do

- this is a flower which is alive andliable and soft. We stick -- and

pliable and soft and we stick it in. Minus 196 degrees.

That is pretty cold. This is what happens to live things when they are

at that temperature. It breaks like glass. Are you

telling me that one of these creatures will survive that.

Amazingly enough. Show me! In here we have a little bit of that is

dried. It is fizzling. Any ordinary organism would die. If we go and

retrieve that... We need to rehydrate that and see if they have

survived that process and see if they will come back to life. After

adding water, it is then a case to see if life returns. And amazingly,

in just under an hour, there's movement. That is incredible.

How they do it is still puzzling scientists. Their robustness has led

to the theory this form of life could exist on other planets,

especially Mars. We know conditions have changed on Mars and they have

become more harsher than originally. There would be liquid water there

billions of years ago. At that time life could have evolved. If it did

there is a chance it is there in some form. A creature like this

could well make it. If they can survive these extremes in Earth, why

not in space as well? test. This miracle can search for

past or present life. It is interesting to think that a tiny

creature that could be found in our back gardens could be unlocking some

of the secrets of our universe. What a delightful image to finish

on. Tom, we were saying you have got

this tour all around Europe, Stockholm on Wednesday, Belgrade on

Sunday, where are you most looking forward to going? It is a toss-up

between Hyde Park and Colwyn Bay. Hyde Park is July the 13th so that

should be good, I love playing there. The brilliant thing is that

you are doing a mixture of festivals, one in Colwyn Bay that

sounds fantastic, Jessie J will be there, and you are doing racecourses

and smaller venues. What was your thinking when you chose these

venues? I wanted to play as many places as possible within three

months so my agents put them together, saying... This is where

you are going. Yes, and fine. You are doing all the greatest hits? Not

all of them, that would take a long time. I am doing quite a few.

Talking of fine music, you have done a remarkable amount of

collaborations over the years. Basically we want you to spin this

wheel and have a chat with whoever it lands on. Ready? Go for it. It is

Ray Charles, let's remind you. You did four duets with him, what

was he like? He is great. Ray was a stylist. He did things his own way

and very natural. Is that why you kept going back? Yes. There were so

many songs we could do together. It was difficult to figure out which

ones to do and which ones not to do but we had a great time doing that

show. It was really good and there were all these people on this wheel,

they were great people. Let's see another clip now, people will be

dying to see it. Spin the wheel. Go again! It landed on Dusty

Springfield to start with. Stevie wonder, excellent.

# there is a place in the Somme where there is hope for everyone...

You have done so many songs between you, how would you decide between

you who to sing? We didn't medley. When we did it, because the show was

recorded them, and he asked if he could do it again. My producer said,

no, we move on. I said we don't move on because Stevie would like to do

it again. He has never forgotten that because when I see him... I

insisted on doing it again for his sake. We sang happy birthday to him,

and he said to me, I really hope you are pretty. Anyway, give it another

spin. OK. Janis Joplin! There is an element of sadness about

that clip because she died the year after that at 27 years old, but they

say that she captivated an audience just like Elvis. Definitely. When we

did that one, it was strange because I sang the ballad before and I think

she was doing a ballad at the time, then we did this rave up. When I

sang this with her, the first time she said, wow, you can really sing!

To her, that was me, you No, singing, as opposed to doing... I

suppose the joy of this tour is that it must put you straight back to

those days? Definitely, that is it. Being on stage is the best thing for

me because I bare my soul. All roads lead to the stage, the TV and the

recordings, but the live shows... I am sure people will come from far

and wide. Just a couple of days to go until the start of the World Cup

and our wall chart is filling up nicely with your photos. We have

England there. Harry says he should represent England because he helped

to decorate their house with the flag. This is a picture of the

Thorpes family in the USA, and Jennifer in the West Midlands said

she would love to represent Honduras because it was her best ever cruise

ship stuff -- stop off. All day we have been inviting people to

recreate David Beckham's free kick from 1998 World Cup. But first Phil

Tufnell went to meet some of you who played a small part in that big win

that took place in 1966. 1966 and England is gripped by World

Cup fever. The beautiful game is back in its spiritual home. The 60s

are swinging and hopes are high. The World Cup final on the 30th of

July, 1966, saw England face up against West Germany. This is the

day we have all been waiting for. At 3pm, in front crowd of over 90,000

people, the first ball was kicked in the Cup final. Most of us think of

the final in fuzzy black and white, but these four people saw it in

colour. Neal was a freshfaced 15-year-old back in 1966, when he

was selected to be a ball boy in the World Cup final. He found himself a

position on the halfway line right in front of the dugouts. You were

the first Englishman to touch the ball during the final? Yes, they

kicked the ball straight out into touch, and it came to where I was

standing so I picked it up. If I had not given it to the player I gave it

to, we may not have won, tongue in cheek! Every World Cup needs a

mascot, a tradition that started in Britain in 1966 with our very own

World Cup Willy. His father was an illustrator for children's books and

was given a brief to design a mascot by the Football Association. After

several attempts, the result was this cheeky lion. You were the

inspiration for it? Yes, I was 12 years old at the time. I had bright

red ginger hair. It mean to your dad, who designed the mascot? It was

his favourite, and remained his greatest achievement for the rest of

his life. Willie appeared on merchandise from dolls to T-shirts.

The Germans called him Villie! 12 minutes into the final, Germany

scored, but seven minutes later with a superb header, Geoff Hurst levels

things up and the crowd in the stands go wild. The two teenagers

here had the job to work on the scoreboard. They came here to get a

summer job and ended up working at Wembley. You're expected to do some

odd jobs and ended up scoring the World Cup final, how did that

happen? In the days before the tournament

started, there was a notice pinned on the notice board looking for

volunteers for the scoreboard so we just applied. It was 2-2 as the game

went into injury time and Geoff Hurst got the ball over the line to

make it 3 for England, or did he? Did that ball go over the line or

not? I thought it did. It all happened so fast. I don't think so!

With seconds to go until the final whistle, Hurst scored again, sealing

the deal. England were the World Cup champions. A glorious day, and

something we haven't seen the like of sins. For the last 11 world cups,

someone else has walked away with the trophy.

All day we have been bending it like Beckham. We have. Here is how they

got on. With the World Cup about to start, the One Show has come up with

the ultimate challenge of footballing skill to commemorate one

of the greatest World Cup free kicks. Can you bend it like Beckham?

I got invited to do this challenge, and I thought, what can Beckham do

that I cannot do? If I was going to make excuses, which I am, these are

too tall. It is an obscene distance. You look at it and think,

I could just about get it to dribble over the line. Plus my footwear is

not entirely appropriate. The technique was, don't look at the

goalkeeper, looked that way. I overcompensated giving him the eyes

because there was a crowd here of my hard-core fans. Beckham is good at

free kicks. They just need to make the goal is a little bit wider. I

don't even think Beckham was aiming there, if I'm honest. Spoony was

good! You know the way the foot ball commentators always talk about the

atmosphere, it has been great out here! You are going to have a go

now, aren't you? Tom and I will move. Right, OK, here you go. Don't

put the pressure on! That was rubbish! It was a good attempt. That

is all we have got time for. Thank you, Tom. Don't forget, tickets
