:00:16. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones And Matt Baker.
:00:22. > :00:23.As you've just seen, the daredevil bike riders
:00:24. > :00:34.Later we'll see them flip, spin and jump 30 feet in the air -
:00:35. > :00:41.Right outside the stewed yoi. -- studio.
:00:42. > :00:43.These boys are world-class in their sport of freestyle
:00:44. > :00:45.motocross, which is something they have in common
:00:46. > :00:49.He was England's Euro 96 goal scoring machine -
:00:50. > :01:03.COMMENTATOR:. It's Shearer. Shearer! Excellent.
:01:04. > :01:15.Please welcome, Alan Shearer. APPLAUSE.
:01:16. > :01:22.Your face while you were watching that. You picked a corker of a night
:01:23. > :01:26.to come here tonight. The stunts we will see outside later are something
:01:27. > :01:31.else, aren't they? Yes. Are you a fan of motorbikes? Have you been on
:01:32. > :01:35.a motorbike? I'm scared. Too fast for me. Too quick. My mum and dad
:01:36. > :01:40.would never let me on them, I'm afraid. No. As a young lad I cannot
:01:41. > :01:46.believe that you've never been on a motorbike? I know. No chance. Too
:01:47. > :01:53.quick. Learnt some lessons tonight. Unbelievable. You might fancy it
:01:54. > :02:04.after tonight. Now, how can it be fair that
:02:05. > :02:07.a couple will shortly be taking part in an inquest into their son's death
:02:08. > :02:10.without the free legal Particularly when some of those
:02:11. > :02:12.they hold responsible for it can use lawyers,
:02:13. > :02:22.paid for by the taxpayer. Two years ago the Thames flooded
:02:23. > :02:27.dozens of homes at Chertsey in Surrey. In most cases the damning
:02:28. > :02:32.was limited to property and possession, but not in this house.
:02:33. > :02:37.-- damage. It was a beautiful, beautiful home. Nicole Gbangbola and
:02:38. > :02:43.her family were at home when their basement flooded. What happened that
:02:44. > :02:52.night haunts her. Every time it rains that deep sense of fear is
:02:53. > :02:57.there. That night she found her seven-year-old son, Zane, collapsed
:02:58. > :03:07.overcome by fumes. Paramedics found her husband unconscious. They were
:03:08. > :03:12.taken to hospital, Kye Gbangbola was left paralysed, but before dawn Zane
:03:13. > :03:17.died. When he died we pray sod hard we wouldn't survive. It would have
:03:18. > :03:21.been kind if we hadn't, but it did. We have to make sure it doesn't
:03:22. > :03:28.happen to any other family. Nobody deserves to save their child in a
:03:29. > :03:33.special toxic body bag. The post-mortem into Zane's death was
:03:34. > :03:39.inconclusive. Public Health England said its specialist teams had found
:03:40. > :03:40.hydrogen cyanide in the home. But tests said carbon monoxide was
:03:41. > :03:51.probably responsible for his death. For a year no-one could return to
:03:52. > :03:55.the house. When the couple bought it 12 years ago, legal searches flagged
:03:56. > :04:00.up no issues with the surrounding line. Five years on this cottage was
:04:01. > :04:05.built next door, meaning fresh searches. What we didn't know, until
:04:06. > :04:12.the report in 2011, was that this field was a landfill site from 1936.
:04:13. > :04:18.It's well-known that landfill sites can produce toxic gases as bacteria
:04:19. > :04:21.break down organic waste. Hospital blood tests revealed hydrogen
:04:22. > :04:25.cyanide present in the whole family. They believe this lethal gas was
:04:26. > :04:32.carried in their home from the old landfill site by the floodwater.
:04:33. > :04:36.25,000 parts per mill hydrogen cyanide was detected by the special
:04:37. > :04:42.incident crews. That was in our home. How much carbon monoxide was
:04:43. > :04:47.found in your home? Nil across four sweeps. Nil. The Environment Agency,
:04:48. > :04:51.local council and police wouldn't comment on the issue of carbon
:04:52. > :04:57.monoxide. However the council did tell us there was no evidence to
:04:58. > :05:05.link Zane's death and landfill. Tests showed it to be clean river
:05:06. > :05:10.water. How Zane came to die and his father was paralysed is now going to
:05:11. > :05:14.a legal battle. His parents say the fight is taking place on unequal
:05:15. > :05:17.terms. You can see the boxes. They represent the bundle of evidence we
:05:18. > :05:23.are expected to use in Zane's inquest. There are huge amounts of
:05:24. > :05:30.it. 25 files. We have been refused legal aid. We, as defenceless
:05:31. > :05:36.parents, are expected to go against QCs, mostly funded out of the
:05:37. > :05:40.public's expense, whilst we are unfunded and unrepresented. This is
:05:41. > :05:45.a disgrace. Why was it that you weren't given legal aid? We were not
:05:46. > :05:50.given legal aid on the grounds of it is not of significant wider public
:05:51. > :05:55.interest. The coroner wrote to the Legal Aid Agency and said that,
:05:56. > :06:00.absolutely, it is of wider public interest. At the inquest that will
:06:01. > :06:06.determine how their son died the couple will have to argue their case
:06:07. > :06:08.themselves. And face barristers from organisations including the
:06:09. > :06:14.Environment Agency, whose legal bills are paid by public funds. In a
:06:15. > :06:18.bid to get the decision reversed, they are et mooing Shadow Home
:06:19. > :06:23.Secretary, Andy Burnham, opposite the House of Commons. With them is
:06:24. > :06:29.Deborah Coles from the charity Inquest. It's mystifying to me how
:06:30. > :06:34.this family have been denied legal aid. There is it exceptional public
:06:35. > :06:40.funding available for families to be represented at inquests involving
:06:41. > :06:44.very complex, difficult issues. Andy Burnham championed the cause of the
:06:45. > :06:52.Hillsborough families in their battle for a second inquiry. It
:06:53. > :06:56.cannot be right that public bodies spend public money like water when
:06:57. > :07:03.ordinary families are left to fend themselves in the court room. I have
:07:04. > :07:08.said that he and Keir Starmer will write to say the injustice of them
:07:09. > :07:12.not having legal representation must be immediately corrected. The couple
:07:13. > :07:21.can only wait and hope for a change of heart before the inquest. Well,
:07:22. > :07:27.Nick is here with us now. So many people will feel an enormous amount
:07:28. > :07:31.of sympathy. Most cases as far as inquests are concerned don't qualify
:07:32. > :07:36.for legal aid? It's important to make that distinction. It's held in
:07:37. > :07:40.a coroner's court, it's not a trial. The job of the coroner is through
:07:41. > :07:43.the examination of evidence and questioning of evidence to come to a
:07:44. > :07:47.conclusion about what caused someone's death. The idea is that
:07:48. > :07:52.people are understanding of the language that is used in court and
:07:53. > :07:56.there aren't too many battles in between people as to what or didn't
:07:57. > :08:00.go wrong. That's what the job of the coroner is. Most families don't have
:08:01. > :08:04.legal representation. It's only in exceptional circumstances that any
:08:05. > :08:08.family would be granted legal aid to get that representation and only if
:08:09. > :08:12.it's in the public interest. You talk about public interest. We heard
:08:13. > :08:15.about it in the film. How do they define public interest then? The law
:08:16. > :08:21.states that legal aid will be offered at an inquest if the inquest
:08:22. > :08:25.is expected to examine dangerous practices, systematic failings, or
:08:26. > :08:29.other significant risks to life, health and safety. Which the
:08:30. > :08:33.Gbangbola's believe in Zane's case will be subjects that will get
:08:34. > :08:38.covered. Added to that, in Zane's inquest, as we heard in the film,
:08:39. > :08:44.every other interested party will have legal representation. The firm
:08:45. > :08:47.that hired the Gbangbola's the petrol company. The firm that owns
:08:48. > :08:51.the landfill site next to their home. The coroner himself has asked
:08:52. > :08:55.for a barrister to inform him on points of law. What is the situation
:08:56. > :09:01.with Andy Burnham's involvement? What will happen now? The Shadow
:09:02. > :09:04.Home Secretary will write to Michael Gove to ask the Legal Aid Agency to
:09:05. > :09:07.reconsider that decision. The Gbangbola's told us that the Legal
:09:08. > :09:11.Aid Agency got in touch with them and asked them to reapply for legal
:09:12. > :09:15.aid. The Legal Aid Agency have confirmed that they are now
:09:16. > :09:19.considering a second application, but they haven't maded a decision as
:09:20. > :09:25.yet. They will have to hurry up the inquest starts a week on Monday.
:09:26. > :09:31.Sounds positive. If they have asked them to reapply. Thanks.
:09:32. > :09:35.Last week we learnt the amazing fact that chickens can count.
:09:36. > :09:42.This week Miranda has proof that pigs also belong
:09:43. > :09:50.in the Premier League of animal intelligence.
:09:51. > :09:58.Being able to recognise yourself is a trait exclusive to just a handful
:09:59. > :10:02.of species. It indicates a level of intelligence once thought to belong
:10:03. > :10:08.only to humans. Today, we know that other animals can also be
:10:09. > :10:11.self-aware. Scientists tested this by developing a mirror experiment
:10:12. > :10:16.where they shone a light onto the faces of monkeys. They found the
:10:17. > :10:19.monkeys didn't respond to the reflection, but touched themselves,
:10:20. > :10:29.showing they recognised the mirror imagine belonged to them. This same
:10:30. > :10:34.understanding of self has also been found in dolphins. One species that
:10:35. > :10:41.is has this aptitude may come as a bit of a surprise - the pig.
:10:42. > :10:47.Cambridge professor Donald Broom is a leading expert in animal
:10:48. > :10:52.awareness. He placed a mirror into a room with young pigs and they were
:10:53. > :10:56.interested in their own reflections. Clearly checking themselves out in
:10:57. > :11:00.different angles. They could find food by looking in a mirror too.
:11:01. > :11:06.Proving the world they saw in that will mirror was a reflection. Pigs
:11:07. > :11:11.have been domesticated for around 8,000 years. Are their wild
:11:12. > :11:16.counterparts just as intelligent? Is we are conducting a two-part
:11:17. > :11:22.experiment. We are enlisting the help of Professor Broom. Identifying
:11:23. > :11:27.what a mirror image has been demonstrated for a few different
:11:28. > :11:30.kinds of animals. You have to have sophisticated cognitive analysis in
:11:31. > :11:35.order to do that. Out of all the pigs you tested, did they react in
:11:36. > :11:40.the same way? Seven out of eight pigs went to the right place and
:11:41. > :11:46.found the food bowl. That is very impressive. We will repeat your
:11:47. > :11:50.experiment with wild boar. Do you think we will find the same result?
:11:51. > :11:53.They are more nervous than domestic pig. They may respond to the
:11:54. > :12:01.situation in a different way. It will be interesting to try. David
:12:02. > :12:05.Laye has been breeding wild boar for the past seven years. They are
:12:06. > :12:11.seriously destructive and very naughty. We recruited these cheeky
:12:12. > :12:14.chaps to help us. We have placed a mirror so they can familiarise
:12:15. > :12:22.themselves with their own reflections. For the next part of
:12:23. > :12:28.the experiment the mirror was put in one corner of the pen and a barrier
:12:29. > :12:33.set at right angles to it. A bowl of food was placed on one side. If
:12:34. > :12:36.Professor Broom is right, when the boar are released into the pen they
:12:37. > :12:39.will head towards the mirror, see the reflection of the food bowl,
:12:40. > :12:47.turn around on themselves to go and find it. Where the experiment set,
:12:48. > :12:51.we make a quick exit. Open the gate. With the gate open, the first boar
:12:52. > :12:55.immediately heads towards the mirror, looks directly into it and
:12:56. > :12:58.turns, just as we'd hoped. At the last-minute it appears to have
:12:59. > :13:04.second thoughts and returns to the mirror to check. So we rounded them
:13:05. > :13:10.up for another attempt. The gate is just about to go back. This time the
:13:11. > :13:15.first boar take as reassuring glance in the mirror and heads straight to
:13:16. > :13:21.the food. The second boar follows suit. The third peers at its third
:13:22. > :13:25.reflection, but is not so quick whited. It was instand townious. If
:13:26. > :13:29.you know what is in the mirror and see it in the mirror you react
:13:30. > :13:35.immediately. That is what the first two pigs did. Here is an example
:13:36. > :13:41.where all three are looking in a mirror before going round the mirror
:13:42. > :13:45.to scoff from the trough. What could we say about the intelligence of the
:13:46. > :13:48.wild boar piglets compared to that of infants, say? Developing that
:13:49. > :13:53.ability that the pigs have, they can work out what is in the mirror,
:13:54. > :13:56.tends to develop at about two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half
:13:57. > :14:00.years old in children. It's a high-level of ability, I think. What
:14:01. > :14:04.is truly fascinating as a zoologist is that the more we learn about
:14:05. > :14:10.animals the more they surprise us with how intelligent they really
:14:11. > :14:14.are. Umm... A running theme going here. I mean, I thought the chicks
:14:15. > :14:21.were dodgy. They had more ground there. Pigs are clever, seriously.
:14:22. > :14:26.They are. I think I will stick with chickens if we phone a friend in the
:14:27. > :14:33.animal world. The euros kick off next Friday. You have made a
:14:34. > :14:40.documentary 20 years on from Euro 96. You speak to your team-mates and
:14:41. > :14:59.key people important in your life at that time.
:15:00. > :15:12.in a very Match of the Day way - here's some highlights.
:15:13. > :15:27.It was a great night. We never won a tournament. It is on tonight at
:15:28. > :15:32.quarter to 11. It was very revealing for you, even talking to your own
:15:33. > :15:37.team. I said to Paul Ince, I have got to ask you the question because
:15:38. > :15:41.you have been criticised for not taking a penalty. He said, I have
:15:42. > :15:46.never taken a penalty in my life, why would you want me to take one.
:15:47. > :15:51.Against Germany in the semifinal and there were five perfect penalties
:15:52. > :15:56.and when we got to the sixth one with Gareth Southgate we started
:15:57. > :15:59.struggling. I will never criticise anyone who misses a penalty because
:16:00. > :16:05.it is big pressure and it is tough to get up there and Gareth had the
:16:06. > :16:11.courage. Did you think it was risky going for the top corner? The other
:16:12. > :16:17.side was my favourite side, going to the goalkeeper's right. I scored a
:16:18. > :16:20.penalty against Holland in the group game and against Spain in the
:16:21. > :16:26.quarterfinals and I put it towards the right and I thought I had to
:16:27. > :16:30.change it. It is lucky that it wasn't me who did not miss a
:16:31. > :16:35.penalty. The first thing I did after watching the documentary, I tried to
:16:36. > :16:44.Google the Terry Venables Hotel because it looked so nice. It was
:16:45. > :16:51.lovely. You end up loved in 1996, but you started in disgrace. Let's
:16:52. > :16:56.talk about Hong Kong. Do we have to? You talk about it in the
:16:57. > :17:02.documentary. Do you think the criticism was justified? We were
:17:03. > :17:05.given permission to go out that night and have a drink and the
:17:06. > :17:13.assistant manager, Bryan Robson, was with us and we know he likes a drink
:17:14. > :17:18.himself. I was one of the lucky ones, I never got pictured in the
:17:19. > :17:25.dentist 's chair. I saw people with cameras and I sneaked back to the
:17:26. > :17:28.room. But I was there. I did reveal that in the documentary, but I was
:17:29. > :17:36.not in the chair. Weather headlines there? Yes, they were fair. We had
:17:37. > :17:42.to make a point because we were under pressure. After those pictures
:17:43. > :17:48.we had to do well. On the semifinal, how did the game compared to other
:17:49. > :17:53.matches in your life? That semifinal and the Holland game when we beat
:17:54. > :17:58.them 4-1 was the best atmosphere I have ever played in. The atmosphere
:17:59. > :18:07.on those knights was incredible and the song, Three Lions with David
:18:08. > :18:10.Skinner and it was great to be involved and it was a great team
:18:11. > :18:16.spirit. We had come so far. We started the tournament of pretty
:18:17. > :18:22.slowly when we drew. We really thought, and everybody thought, that
:18:23. > :18:26.we were going to win it. The squads have been announced. Let's look at
:18:27. > :18:33.the home nations. Early predictions, Mr Shearer. I am hopeful for
:18:34. > :18:39.England. We have got to get out of the group. We have to see some
:18:40. > :18:46.progression. That Wales game should be an easy one. Northern Ireland is
:18:47. > :18:50.a tough group. It is a tough one for them to get out of the group, but
:18:51. > :18:51.they will have a party whatever happens.
:18:52. > :18:54.Live coverage of Euro 2016 begins across the BBC from the 11th June.
:18:55. > :19:00.Alan Shearer's '96 is on tonight at 10.45pm on BBC One.
:19:01. > :19:07.If you cannot stay up that late, it is worth the BBC iPlayer.
:19:08. > :19:10.In a moment we'll see what happened when our three stunt riders went up
:19:11. > :19:15.For obvious reasons we pre-recorded it.
:19:16. > :19:17.But first it's time to remember a broadcasting daredevil who took us
:19:18. > :19:27.My father, Raymond Baxter, was thought of as an action man and he
:19:28. > :19:37.was on screen and off screen. He did not just say things, he did them as
:19:38. > :19:43.well. You join me in a hawk. Good gracious collide. The BBC's Raymond
:19:44. > :19:51.Baxter is among the rally contestants. He joined the BBC in
:19:52. > :19:55.the 1950s and stayed with them on and off for the next 50 years. The
:19:56. > :19:59.Farnborough airshow was one of his favourite jobs. He knew what he was
:20:00. > :20:06.talking about, he had been a Spitfire pilot. I was 19, scared
:20:07. > :20:11.stiff and fiercely proud. I was eight when my father started to
:20:12. > :20:16.present Tomorrow's World. It was popular science for everybody. I
:20:17. > :20:21.think he got the job because he was already known for doing motor racing
:20:22. > :20:29.and aviation. Or in stainless steel which does not react with the body's
:20:30. > :20:34.tissues. My Big Brother Graham and I used to watch it became much every
:20:35. > :20:39.week because Top of the Pops was on afterwards. I was once on the
:20:40. > :20:44.programme myself, I got to play one of the games of the future. Not
:20:45. > :20:51.exactly Xbox which you can see by the expression on my face. I was ten
:20:52. > :20:57.years old when I grandfather died in 2006. Even though he was serious, he
:20:58. > :21:02.was very funny. It is safer and it is cheaper because it does not work.
:21:03. > :21:11.This is an unusual looking space rocket. Would you care to explain
:21:12. > :21:17.why? No. He was always a rebel and he loved to surprise people and he
:21:18. > :21:23.always put his heart into things. Raymond had a terrific sense of
:21:24. > :21:29.humour and I found that help. In 1972I had the chance to join him and
:21:30. > :21:33.the Tomorrow's World team. Because the disc and the bubbles are
:21:34. > :21:38.magnetic, we have got the equivalent of a tiny tape recorder. I remember
:21:39. > :21:44.driving in the snow and ice across the Yorkshire Moors and I was
:21:45. > :21:48.foolish enough to ask him if he was comfortable driving in these
:21:49. > :21:54.conditions. Quite quietly he said, dear boy, I won my class in the
:21:55. > :22:02.Monte. Do you remember the body armour? Anyone who saw that would
:22:03. > :22:05.never forget it. That really worried him, the safety and where the
:22:06. > :22:10.bullets were going to go. I do not think it showed on camera, but if
:22:11. > :22:15.anyone looked closely, he was very concerned. It was that sort of
:22:16. > :22:20.dedication that ensured all of us who work with him that we always had
:22:21. > :22:24.to give our very best. He used to come back from doing exciting things
:22:25. > :22:29.like the first hovercraft crossing of the channel and flying in
:22:30. > :22:36.Concord. He liked new things and he liked to try out new things not just
:22:37. > :22:40.on TV, but in his own life as well. We had an amphibious vehicle called
:22:41. > :22:43.the otter which he used to tow around the country, memorably at
:22:44. > :22:48.Windermere after flooding and storms, and an RAC man came by and
:22:49. > :22:56.said, it is OK, so, I will get you out of there. The boat was his pride
:22:57. > :23:00.and joy, she was one of 700 little ships that left from Ramsgate in
:23:01. > :23:06.1940 to evacuate the troops from the beaches of Dunkirk. 25 years later
:23:07. > :23:12.he wanted to take her back and did with a lot of other little ships. We
:23:13. > :23:16.are British and we know what we are doing. And the little ships have
:23:17. > :23:23.been going back every five years ever since. We often had picnics and
:23:24. > :23:30.boat trips on the Thames and we used to dangle from up there and he would
:23:31. > :23:35.tickle our feet. My parents were married for 51 years. She died in
:23:36. > :23:40.1996 and he was never the same without her. Even so, he was
:23:41. > :23:44.charmingly, stubbornly, belligerently independent to the
:23:45. > :23:47.very end. He sings like a lovely man. What a
:23:48. > :23:52.broadcaster. Earlier today we were treated
:23:53. > :23:54.to a heartstopping private performance from Nitro Circus -
:23:55. > :23:56.a group of extreme bike riders We had a few things to ask the only
:23:57. > :24:14.British member, Jamie Squibb. Good to meet you. Hello. How did a
:24:15. > :24:21.boy from Devon end up in a circus in America? How did I end up in night
:24:22. > :24:27.to circus? It has basically evolved over many years of just trying and
:24:28. > :24:32.trying and constant progression and eventually reaching a standard where
:24:33. > :24:40.I was invited on board to ride on the Nitro Circus tour. And here I am
:24:41. > :24:46.ready for my second tour, buzzing. In front of the BBC as a venue, how
:24:47. > :24:52.does this compare? This is incredible. But it has been a very
:24:53. > :24:56.testing day. As you can imagine, it is very tight for room, so we have
:24:57. > :25:04.got the jump 15 feet smaller than usual. This is small compared to
:25:05. > :25:12.what we will be doing on the tour. We do not want to tempt fate in any
:25:13. > :25:18.shape or form. Please do not. But how often do these jobs go wrong?
:25:19. > :25:24.Health and safety, do not get me started on that. It is not healthy
:25:25. > :25:28.or safe, but we train a lot at home and we are prepared. We all right
:25:29. > :25:33.our bikes a lot and we are ready to get this done. We wish you all the
:25:34. > :25:40.very best. We are going to stand back there at a safe distance. Here
:25:41. > :25:43.go. The guys are almost in possession, so let's have a massive
:25:44. > :27:41.welcome for Nitro Circus. Goodness me!
:27:42. > :27:59.APPLAUSE My diaphragm, from excitement.
:28:00. > :28:06.Goodness me. We have never seen anything like it on the show. That
:28:07. > :28:11.is what we are aiming for. The train at the end was my favourite bit, is
:28:12. > :28:16.that what you call it? Yes, we get the bikes in the air at the same
:28:17. > :28:20.time doing the tricks. What we did there was very tame compared to what
:28:21. > :28:27.we do on the live tour. That is just three of us. The tour this Friday in
:28:28. > :28:33.Worcester we will have 12 bikes in the air upside down at the same
:28:34. > :28:36.time, three wide and four deep. We have got a camera angle from a set
:28:37. > :28:42.of handlebars so we can get a sense of what it feels like. Huge
:28:43. > :28:47.congratulations, Jamie. Nitro Circus are on tour all over
:28:48. > :28:50.the UK throughout the summer. His documentary, Alan Shearer's '96

:28:55. > :28:58.Preachers are here to play Mr Reginald Keys?
:28:59. > :29:17.We're from Army notification. About your brother.
