Hello and welcome to
The One Show with Matt Baker. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
And Angellica Bell. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:26 | |
And hello to the Wilsons, enjoying a
snow game on their sledge. These are | 0:00:26 | 0:00:33 | |
Winter Olympians in the making.
Hitting the slope. Off they go, a | 0:00:33 | 0:00:38 | |
huge pile of them. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
It's a welcome to the world
hello to Sienna Waring - | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
born on the A66 in County Durham
this morning. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
APPLAUSE
Welcome. A great place to be born. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:55 | |
A to Ozzie Burrows. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
An ingenious way to get the snow off
his car. I used a brush this | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
morning. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
It's a round of applause hello
to the takeaway delivery guy | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
in Lincoln who had to learn how
to do the skeleton. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:13 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
That is a curry in a hurry! | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
And finally hello to the newly
married Mr and Mrs Robinson | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
from Stranraer, who should be
sunning themselves in the Maldives | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
but are stuck in Glasgow airport. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
But Glasgow airport is pretty cool,
as well. They are together. Having a | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
memorable time. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
Because yes it's still white out
there, and can you believe it, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
it's the first day of spring today. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
The Beast from the East has
made its presence known. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
We have been seeing traffic jams and
road closures up and down the | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
country from the A43 in Hampshire to
the M80 between Glasgow and | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
Stirling. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Mass disruption on the
rails and at airports. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:07 | |
Storm Emma is on her way and there's
expected to be going on 2ft of snow | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
in the South West tonight. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
Our favourite weatherman
Ben Rich is here. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
Who knew you could be on the One
sofa three times in a week. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
He'll be telling us what the next
few days will be like. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
And the president of the AA -
Edmund King is here, | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
letting us know how much travel
misery Storm Emma could be | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
bringing to the roads. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
To take us away from the cold we're
joined by Simon Schama, | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
Mary Beard and David Olusoga -
the faces of the BBC's | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
breathtaking new series,
Civilisations, which promises | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
an epic journey through thousands
of years of beautiful art. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
The latest area to issue a severe
red alert snow warning | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
is the South West and South Wales. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Happy St David's Day, everyone. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
Jon Kay is in Tiverton in Devon,
which is bracing itself for the full | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
force of Storm Emma. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Jon, has Emma arrived yet? | 0:02:54 | 0:03:00 | |
Storm Emma has arrived and it was
above this patch Emma met the Beast | 0:03:00 | 0:03:06 | |
from the East. They had a horrible
and messy meeting in the skies above | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
this red warning zone. There is no
red to be seen, you cannot see | 0:03:09 | 0:03:18 | |
anything, it is quite everywhere.
This is Tiverton high street. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Somebody making their way home. A
tractor is trying to clear things. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
Very few people out to night, people
have been told to get home, shut the | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
door and tried to settle down and
see this out. This red zone is a big | 0:03:32 | 0:03:39 | |
area from south Wales and covers
Cardiff and cuts through the Bristol | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
Channel through Somerset down to
Devon. Some communities here are | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
used to being cut off for a couple
of days in winter but this red zone | 0:03:47 | 0:03:52 | |
is unusual because it covers urban
areas, and people who are not used | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
this will have to deal with it and
it will snow pretty much all night | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
and we will see more over the next
couple of. Thank you. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
Keep safe in the South West tonight. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
The red alert in Scotland may have
been lifted this morning, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
but it has still been a difficult
day on the roads. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
Food shops in the centre of one of
Europe's biggest cities closed | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
because of the snow. Most of the
shops seem to be a meltdown, closing | 0:04:18 | 0:04:25 | |
early, shutting their doors, nothing
on the shelves. The empty shelves in | 0:04:25 | 0:04:31 | |
Glasgow are partly the result of
some of Scotland's biggest roads, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
including the M80, seizing up.
Hundreds of drivers spent the night | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
in their vehicles and others abandon
them. Horrendous. A couple of | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
people, bless them, they deserve a
medal, giving people a drink. Mark | 0:04:46 | 0:04:52 | |
from the RAC is doing his best to
get motorists back up and running. I | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
would say there has been a risk to
life. A lot of the major roads. I | 0:04:56 | 0:05:03 | |
have never seen the M80 that quiet.
Normally, it would be heaving with | 0:05:03 | 0:05:10 | |
traffic. With up to 30 centimetres
of snow minor roads are also quiet. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:17 | |
And of course, drivers are stuck.
Got a rope on just now. If he drives | 0:05:17 | 0:05:27 | |
gently and I drive gently, it gives
us basically a four-wheel drive and | 0:05:27 | 0:05:32 | |
hopefully gets us there. Thank you
very much, much appreciated. Wright, | 0:05:32 | 0:05:39 | |
the next one. In these conditions,
getting to any emergency is not | 0:05:39 | 0:05:45 | |
easy. Pat O'Mara is the head of the
ambulance control centre in Glasgow. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
We have seen more accidents -- have
you seen more accidents? Demand | 0:05:49 | 0:05:56 | |
levels have been the same. But it
has been harder to get to patients. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:02 | |
Obviously it is treacherous for your
staff, as well. Do you have measures | 0:06:02 | 0:06:08 | |
to protect them? We have staff put
up in hotels. They have not seen | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
their families for a couple of days.
We make sure we rotate people and | 0:06:12 | 0:06:17 | |
keep an eye on fatigue levels. This
evening the M80 was due to open but | 0:06:17 | 0:06:23 | |
an Amber alert is in place until
tomorrow morning. What is the | 0:06:23 | 0:06:28 | |
situation with the red warnings? The
red warning in central Scotland | 0:06:28 | 0:06:36 | |
expired earlier this morning simply
because the snow eased off but there | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
is still a lot of snow lying around.
We have a new red warning for parts | 0:06:41 | 0:06:48 | |
of the south-west of England and
South East of Wales. Talking about | 0:06:48 | 0:06:53 | |
parts of Devon, into Somerset, far
south-east Wales. Those areas could | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
see easily 20 centimetres, but
perhaps 40, 50, you mentioned two | 0:06:58 | 0:07:05 | |
feet of snow. I expect we will not
be farther away from that in | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
Dartmoor, Exmoor. And blizzards. As
you saw, there are amber warnings, | 0:07:10 | 0:07:18 | |
the second tier, across south-west
England more generally, south Wales, | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
Northern Ireland and the north-east
of England and East of Scotland. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
Edmund, you are president of the AA
and we have seen the chaos the snow | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
has caused. What the roads like now?
They are still pretty busy and | 0:07:31 | 0:07:38 | |
dangerous. Our patrols have been out
today and more like snow patrols, | 0:07:38 | 0:07:45 | |
chasing cars stuck in snow and in
ice and you can see from the map, it | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
is across the country. North-east,
Northwest, Scotland, Lincoln. A lot | 0:07:51 | 0:07:58 | |
of closed roads in Lincolnshire. And
in the deep South and south-west. We | 0:07:58 | 0:08:04 | |
have experienced three times as many
calls for breakdowns. Something like | 0:08:04 | 0:08:10 | |
30,000 calls today alone. We have
had to mobilise all patrols and get | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
extra patrols out, even getting
staff to call centres using 4x4 | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
vehicles. Some people need to get
out, so what tips would you give | 0:08:20 | 0:08:26 | |
them? Be prepared before you go out.
If you looked at Scotland last | 0:08:26 | 0:08:32 | |
night, the M80, if you did not have
half a tank of fuel, you would have | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
been in trouble. Make sure you have
at least half a tank of fuel also if | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
you stop you can keep the engine and
heater on. Put carpet or cardboard | 0:08:41 | 0:08:46 | |
in the boot of the car. If you are
stuck in snow, take the cardboard | 0:08:46 | 0:08:53 | |
out, if it is a rear wheel drive
car, put it under the rear wheel and | 0:08:53 | 0:08:58 | |
drive over it, it gives you
traction. Be prepared and then drive | 0:08:58 | 0:09:04 | |
very smoothly, pull away in second
gear, do not accelerate quickly, do | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
not put on the brakes quickly. Keep
to the main roads, they are better | 0:09:09 | 0:09:14 | |
gritted, although Ben Rich would
know this, in some of the | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
temperatures we have seen, Grit is
not all that effective. Do not be | 0:09:18 | 0:09:25 | |
complacent, even with a 4x4 you can
skid off the road. And it can wash | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
off. When rain falls it washes the
Grit. Edmund, thank you for making | 0:09:28 | 0:09:34 | |
the journey to see us. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:35 | |
Lincolnshire is one of the places
that has been hardest to get around | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
today with no major roads open first
thing this morning. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
Peter Levy is there now. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
Are things getting moving? Not
really. All of the major roads have | 0:09:43 | 0:09:53 | |
been blocked at some point today.
100 schools plus closed. A bad day. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
Barnaby between Grimsby and
Scunthorpe, it is the coldest I have | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
ever been. I have Simon bachelor
with me who is a farmer. When did | 0:10:03 | 0:10:09 | |
you get up this morning? 5am I was
on the road. He has been helping | 0:10:09 | 0:10:16 | |
people get out of the snow with the
snowplough. I have been trying to | 0:10:16 | 0:10:21 | |
keep the road opened and help people
who are stuck as we try to keep | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
lorries flowing so they can get
access to the farm. Nobody asked you | 0:10:25 | 0:10:31 | |
to do this! We have to get people
into work at our farm and you come | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
across people stranded. You cannot
leave them, you have to help the | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
community. You are one of the good
Samaritans that has come out today. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:46 | |
There have been a lot of people out
helping. It has been extraordinary. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
Yes, everybody pulling together. It
is gone 7pm, go home and get some | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
food. Thank you. If I can tell you
about a lady called | 0:10:57 | 0:11:08 | |
about a lady called cat -- Cat, a
nurse, who walked three hours in the | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
snow to get to work at Lincoln
County Hospital. And then she came | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
across a colleague called Lucy in
the snow and injured. They got to | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
work at the hospital and did their
shift and they staying at the | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
hospital tonight. I reckon you
should invite her down to see the | 0:11:25 | 0:11:32 | |
One Show one night because it is
extraordinary what she has done | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
today. The coldest I have been I
have to say, in Lincolnshire. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:41 | |
Back to you. I think that is a
wonderful invitation. We should give | 0:11:41 | 0:11:46 | |
a round of applause. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:53 | |
a round of applause. Everybody, the
farmers, like the fourth emergency | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
service is situation is like this. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
Tonight sees the launch
of Civilisations - | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
the BBC's new epic art series. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
Filmed across six continents,
31 countries and three | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
years in the making,
it's the Blue Planet | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
of the art world. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:14 | |
The record of human history brims
over with the rage to destroy. But | 0:12:14 | 0:12:22 | |
it is also imprinted with the
opposite instinct. To make things | 0:12:22 | 0:12:28 | |
that go beyond the demands of food
and shelter. Things that makers see | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
the world and place in it in a
different light. We are the art | 0:12:32 | 0:12:38 | |
making animal. And this is what we
have made. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:47 | |
Well, it is a big old series.
Fantastic. We are looking forward to | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
it. We have Simon and David and Mary
here. Heavyweights. But this is the | 0:12:52 | 0:12:59 | |
first time you have worked together.
David, who is doing what? I am doing | 0:12:59 | 0:13:06 | |
the age of discovery. 16th, 17th,
18th century. Mary is doing the | 0:13:06 | 0:13:10 | |
ancient world and Simon is doing
everything else. No pressure. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:16 | |
Insufferable greed. I do not stop
with the ancient world. I get up to | 0:13:16 | 0:13:23 | |
2014. We all do. You are in one of
the programmes. You are not, | 0:13:23 | 0:13:29 | |
actually! | 0:13:29 | 0:13:34 | |
actually! Excited for minute. It is
interesting. We have watched it | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
today. All of it? Not all nine
programmes. Because we would not | 0:13:37 | 0:13:45 | |
want to watch it now we want to
watch it with everyone. My students | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
say that. I say, did you read it?
They say, I looked at it. Am I as | 0:13:49 | 0:13:55 | |
bad as one of your students? As good
as! Each episode is your personal | 0:13:55 | 0:14:02 | |
journey, you researched it. When you
filmed it, did it live up to | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
expectations and the work you put
into the episode? More than that. It | 0:14:06 | 0:14:13 | |
was always more difficult to film
did you thought. It is easy to sit | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
in London and say we will go there.
Planet in the office. It works fine | 0:14:17 | 0:14:23 | |
but it never does when you get
there. I had looked at the | 0:14:23 | 0:14:31 | |
terracotta Warriors and I saw them
at the British Museum. This is what | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
makes you so lucky on telly. Not
just look at them from the side, but | 0:14:37 | 0:14:44 | |
get down, wander about amongst them.
I thought, wow, if my mum knew I was | 0:14:44 | 0:14:51 | |
doing this, she would be so proud.
With paintings, you have to go | 0:14:51 | 0:14:57 | |
either at 6am, or at night, when
nobody else's there. A small price | 0:14:57 | 0:15:04 | |
to pay but it is just you and
Rembrandt. Sometimes that is scary. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:11 | |
I was there with the painters
staring at me with that fishy eye, | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
saying, I have seen people like you
before. You feel embarrassed but you | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |
do it nonetheless. A precious sense
of immediacy. And incredible | 0:15:21 | 0:15:27 | |
emotion. The cave paintings. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
emotion. The cave paintings. The way
they use ink to put their mark on | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
it, you kind of hit on it, the point
of art is for it outlived the person | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
that has created it. That is the
breakthrough. The group have very | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
cleverly sort of kept me from seeing
it. Everything was set up and | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
normally we would have just a quick
look. But no, you take a risk | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
because I might be even more soppy
and incoherent and if that I usually | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
am! He is quite soppy about it
sometimes, sometimes he gets soppy! | 0:15:59 | 0:16:05 | |
You enjoy him getting soppy. How
impact poll has this series being, | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
you will have done so many
programmes of the past? It is easy | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
to write something and know what
your going to say but then you stand | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
in front an amazing piece of art,
and you are low because you there | 0:16:18 | 0:16:23 | |
early, and you have a different
relationship. The thing you wrote | 0:16:23 | 0:16:29 | |
isn't enough because what you're
trying to express is what you feel | 0:16:29 | 0:16:30 | |
in that moment. The men are terribly
soppy about this. They go gooey and | 0:16:30 | 0:16:38 | |
cry in front of works of art. I'm
not ashamed! I do not. You were | 0:16:38 | 0:16:45 | |
struck by the cave. One thing that
struck me is how art can be so | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
similar in the world, yet be so far
apart. I'm talking about the | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
mosque... That's a good point, in
the second cave we went to, very | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
deep, and it was weird, I felt
weirdly at home in the caves. The | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
temperature is always about kind of
15 or 14 or something, never colder. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:09 | |
Half an hour walk into where the
paintings are and then you come | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
across these horses. Of course, no
ice age artist is out there with a | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
little sketch pad, so they are
actually looking hard and then going | 0:17:17 | 0:17:23 | |
back and translating what they've
got in their memory. It is not just | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
the kind of cartoon of a horse, they
use the lines of the rock for bones | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
and the anatomy of a horse. This is
an amazing thing. Because it started | 0:17:32 | 0:17:38 | |
all those tens of thousands of years
ago, it is very, a very emotional | 0:17:38 | 0:17:43 | |
moment. The starting point. It is
all there for you. A magical, | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
magical series. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
Civilisations starts
tonight 9pm on BBC Two. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
Now, what lengths would you go to,
to help and protect, | 0:17:53 | 0:17:55 | |
and give an opportunity to someone
you didn't know on the other | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
side of the world? | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
Here's the story of how
one student imprisoned | 0:17:59 | 0:18:07 | |
Prison found himself in Glasgow. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:14 | |
My name is Hernando. In 1973, I was
at 24-year-old student in Chile. My | 0:18:14 | 0:18:23 | |
name is Marilyn Thompson and in
1973I was a third-year student at | 0:18:23 | 0:18:28 | |
Essex University. This is the
story... Of how she saved me. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:40 | |
In September 1973, the democratic
government of Chile was overthrown | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
by Commander in Chief of the Chilean
army, General Pinochet, in a violent | 0:18:44 | 0:18:50 | |
coup. In the days that followed,
4500 people were killed or | 0:18:50 | 0:18:56 | |
disappeared. 200,000 were imprisoned
or tortured. One of those was | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
24-year-old Hernando. The Secret
Service came very late at night, | 0:19:01 | 0:19:09 | |
after the coup. They broke down the
door. They blindfolded and took me | 0:19:09 | 0:19:15 | |
to an interrogation centre. I was
brutally tortured. It was a very | 0:19:15 | 0:19:21 | |
difficult life, if I can call it a
life, because at some point I was | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
kind of losing my mind.
It surprised me that I can talk the | 0:19:26 | 0:19:33 | |
way I'm talking now, because I
couldn't say this in the first 20 | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
years.
The Pinochet regime was fast to | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
stamp out any dissent. Military
police targeted those with socialist | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
views, many of whom were academics
and students. Hernando's crime was | 0:19:45 | 0:19:52 | |
distributing leaflets opposing the
dictatorship. Marilyn would soon | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
come to his aid. I was studying
Latin American studies and I had | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
Latin American friends. I was really
horrified by what was happening in | 0:20:01 | 0:20:07 | |
the country. There was news reels
and films that were coming out which | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
showed how horrific it was. It was
just general repression, a reign of | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
terror.
The coup sparked international | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
outrage and in the UK people took to
the streets in their thousands. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:27 | |
Academics formed a network to
provide asylum to Chilean students. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
Working with the world University
service, they offered places at | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
British universities. We developed
quite strong relations, helping them | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
to settle down in the country. The
issue of language was a very big | 0:20:40 | 0:20:45 | |
one, because the majority didn't
speak any English at all. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
Hernando was on a list of political
prisoners as his family had reported | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
him missing. The world University
service awarded him a grant to | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
continue his studies at Glasgow
University. After ten months in | 0:20:58 | 0:21:04 | |
prison, the Chilean authorities
expelled Hernando from the country. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
On the 6th of June 1974, he was
flown to the UK. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
Because of my previous experience,
torture in prison, I didn't know | 0:21:11 | 0:21:18 | |
what to expect because your mind is
not accustomed to freedom. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
Marilyn was one of the first people
he met. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:30 | |
Reminds me, what was it like when
you first got here to the UK? The | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
very first day, I went to your
office and as soon as I opened the | 0:21:34 | 0:21:40 | |
door, I saw you smile. You spoke to
me in Spanish, which made a big | 0:21:40 | 0:21:45 | |
difference.
After graduating, Hernando pursued a | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
career in electrical engineering. He
met his wife Vicky the year he | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
arrived in Glasgow and they have
four children. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
900 Chileans were given a home in
the UK after the Pinochet coup. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
Marilyn supported 50 of them to
settle into their new lives, and | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
today she is meeting up with some of
them for the first time in 35 years. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:13 | |
Bradford University offered me a
place. After finishing my studies, | 0:22:13 | 0:22:19 | |
it gave me knowledge to get together
with some other people and we opened | 0:22:19 | 0:22:25 | |
the first Chilean restaurant in
Britain. That was in Birmingham. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:29 | |
We were really grateful, there were
so many amazing people embracing us | 0:22:29 | 0:22:35 | |
and protecting us and helping us,
unconditionally. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
Like Hernando, they have all built a
new life in the UK thanks to this | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
support and action of a determined
group of British academics. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
That is incredibly heart-warming.
Incredible story. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
Thanks to Hernando and to Marilyn,
who is with us today. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
Very welcome, looking forward to
having a chat shortly. | 0:22:56 | 0:23:03 | |
26 new designs celebrate a to Z of
Great Britain. Each have an alphabet | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
as well as an iconic image. So, we
are going to put you to the test as | 0:23:08 | 0:23:13 | |
major historians. We are going to
ask you what U think the icon | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
relates to. David, Q, any idea?
Queen? It is queueing. Let's go in | 0:23:16 | 0:23:33 | |
with N, what you think? NHS. It. And
E? Eggs and bacon. Simon, you are | 0:23:33 | 0:23:45 | |
too good at this! APPLAUSE
There are 26. It is so beautiful, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:49 | |
have a look, you will enjoy it. You
can have it, go on. Just for now. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:23:53 | 0:23:54 | |
This week we've seen
Emma Massingdale take her two | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
beautiful Eriskay ponies back
to the Hebridean land | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
where they originate from. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
And tonight, she's wrapping up
warm in Harris Tweed... | 0:24:00 | 0:24:07 | |
So far, I've travelled nearly 100
miles of my journey from the | 0:24:10 | 0:24:14 | |
southern island, heading to the most
northerly tip of the Outer Hebrides. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
The weather has been pretty awful
for the last few days, so arriving | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
on the Isle of Harris, my first up
is to pick up some warm weather | 0:24:22 | 0:24:27 | |
clothing. Hello. Hello. Harris Tweed
is renowned and sold all over the | 0:24:27 | 0:24:32 | |
world and everything is made on the
island. Marion was born here and | 0:24:32 | 0:24:36 | |
works in the shop during her
holidays and she is also a student | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
at the University of Glasgow. But
getting used to big city compared to | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
life on the island was a bit of a
culture shock. It was so different | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
from being here, it was so busy and
everything. I've been there three | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
years now, so the busy city life for
my term time and then I come back | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
here and it's a bit quieter and I
enjoy it because it's two really | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
contrasting places.
All Harris Tweed is woven by hand in | 0:24:58 | 0:25:03 | |
the homes of the islanders. It is
very popular. And it gives people | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
jobs. It's also put Harris on the
map so we're very proud of that, I | 0:25:07 | 0:25:13 | |
must say.
And sporting our new gear we get on | 0:25:13 | 0:25:17 | |
our way. Tourism here generates over
£50 million every year and supports | 0:25:17 | 0:25:23 | |
1000 full-time jobs. During the
summer months, fishermen Lewis | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
Mackenzie takes to rest out on boat
trips to spot wildlife. We are | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
heading to an area where he regular
sees sea eagles any Els withdrew to | 0:25:30 | 0:25:35 | |
try and bolster numbers. Perfect.
So, let's just see what happens. And | 0:25:35 | 0:25:42 | |
we don't have to wait long. Here it
comes, here it comes. Oh, wow! Here | 0:25:42 | 0:25:48 | |
he is. He might come round again. He
is embarrassed. Unfortunately, | 0:25:48 | 0:25:58 | |
doesn't return, but it's not long
before another regular summer | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
visitor appears that has
affectionately been named Barry by | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
Lewis. Barry...
Barry is a great skewer who likes a | 0:26:05 | 0:26:14 | |
free meal. He's been coming back
here for the last five years. I have | 0:26:14 | 0:26:20 | |
this routine every day where he
follows the boat for a bit of fish | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
and he gets annoyed if I don't have
anything, so he did well to get | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
something today. After a quick bit
of fishing and crab catching we head | 0:26:27 | 0:26:32 | |
back to shore, with my supper. So
good! I loved going out on the boat | 0:26:32 | 0:26:38 | |
with Lewis today. Not just getting
to see all the amazing marine life | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
that surrounds this coastline but
also getting to see his relationship | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
with the animals.
It is apparent that to live here the | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
locals have had to be resourceful.
Donald is a crofter and the | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
generations his family have been
digging pit on their land. What | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
exactly is Pete? It is carbon,
basically. I like to think of it as | 0:26:57 | 0:27:04 | |
similar to coal but without the heat
and pressure applied. As you can see | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
all around us, there are no trees,
so there is no option of burning | 0:27:08 | 0:27:13 | |
wood and there hasn't been for
probably a few thousand years. So | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
this stuff has been vital for the
survival of people here in the | 0:27:16 | 0:27:22 | |
Western Isles for umpteen
generations. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
As a crofter, Donald is allowed to
cut peat but only enough for his own | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
use. He has been working the land
for around 12 years, but like most | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
islanders, to survive financially he
has had to diversify. The main thing | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
about crofting is you have do have
another source of income. Most | 0:27:37 | 0:27:40 | |
people do, my mother with their
teacher and a crofter, my father was | 0:27:40 | 0:27:47 | |
a fisherman and a crofter, I work
part-time for the local council | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
myself. There are lots of
similarities, traditional ways of | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
working that there is a modern twist
as well. After nearly three weeks of | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
horse boarding, we are on the final
leg through the Outer Hebrides. I | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
can see the Lighthouse! Just a few
metres left to go. And after 186 | 0:28:00 | 0:28:06 | |
miles, I reach journey's end. Hello,
boys. We've made it. I've absolutely | 0:28:06 | 0:28:17 | |
loved exploring the islands here,
from down south to hear at Lewis. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:24 | |
Every single pocket and every corner
you go around is completely | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
different. There is so much to see
and experience. You could literally | 0:28:27 | 0:28:32 | |
spend months here and still has more
to see. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
It's been amazing.
I hope she got home all right! Don't | 0:28:36 | 0:28:43 | |
you? | 0:28:43 | 0:28:44 | |
From one Emma to Storm Emma -
weatherman Ben Rich, | 0:28:44 | 0:28:47 | |
what are we expecting overnight? | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
How are things looking for the next
12 hours or so? In some parts of the | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
country things do not look great at
all because where we have that Met | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
Office red warning in the south-west
of England, we will see huge amounts | 0:28:57 | 0:29:01 | |
of snow, blizzard conditions, very
strong winds also affecting the | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
south-east of Wales. You can see the
worst of the weather there, some | 0:29:05 | 0:29:10 | |
snow also spreading into parts of
the Midlands overnight. It will move | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
into some parts of Northern Ireland,
and all the while the snow showers | 0:29:12 | 0:29:17 | |
continue across northern and eastern
parts of Scotland and North East | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
England on what will be another cold
and frosty nights. Into tomorrow, | 0:29:20 | 0:29:25 | |
more snow across the south-west
corner, perhaps other southern areas | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
as well, and those snow showers
continuing in the north-east. So | 0:29:29 | 0:29:33 | |
some pretty nasty weather still to
come for you two over the next 24 | 0:29:33 | 0:29:37 | |
hours or so. After that, it does
very, very slowly improved. We will | 0:29:37 | 0:29:43 | |
waive goodbye to that! We want to
finish with a nice snowman, here he | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
is. Nick Franks from Scotland. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
Thanks to Ben, Edmund,
Mary, David and Simon. | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
Civilisations starts
tonight at 9pm on BBC Two. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:57 | |
The show will be back tomorrow, good
night. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:00 |
