03/12/2015 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker.

Tonight's guest has sold 25 million records worldwide

and duetted with Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion and Beyonce.

Now he's teamed up with the biggest diva of all time.

A little puppet romance to start. Of all the things you've done, that

must be the highlight. It was the highlight but she is so difficult.

The biggest diva. But beautiful. Stunningly beautiful. The harmonies

that you manage there. I know. We were lost in the moment. What can I

say? It was a dream come true. I've been watching the Muppets since I

was a kid. I'm one of only a few humans that has been able to kiss

her. Check it off. It was just great. Everybody in that team is so

amazing. The artistry of the puppeteers, how they make them come

to life. Last year, they were sitting where you are. Really? Was

Kermit on this green coat? He blended in beautifully. Later on we

will be talking about your tour. Also tonight - playing a track

from their number one album - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful -

for us later, it's the incredible Now you'd have hoped that

in the last 20 years - since the Disability Discrimination

Act was passed - attitudes towards However,

new research suggests that thousands of disabled people are still victims

of abuse every year but only 4% of What could be more everyday than the

school run with mum and dad? Emmy is for. Her mum, Victoria Wright, has a

genetic disorder called cherub -ism -- cherubism. When they happen, they

are very aggressive, very nasty. What can I do? While thousands of

people say they experience abuse because of their disability, there

were fewer than 500 successful prosecutions. That is to view for

Vicky, who, as well as being a busy mum, works as a disability rights

campaigner. She says she has been on the receiving end of hate crime all

her life. Have there been any incidents which shoot you up? One of

the worst ones was when I was with my daughter, we were going around

central London, this man turned to me and said, you are an ugly big

chin... I got off at the following stop, I called the police and I

reported it as a disability hate crime. They were nice but they were

not particularly interested. It does not end when the front door closes.

Vicky blogs about disability and is often abused online. There we go. He

crime is abuse towards someone because of their disability,

ethnicity or sexual orientation. 2500 incidents were reported to the

police last year. The crime survey, which is based on people's

experiences, suggest the real figure is closer to 70,000. Why are so few

incidents reported? Doctor Mark Walters is a legal expert from

Sussex University. We know what racism and homophobia is but few

people understand what disablism is. They think targeting someone because

of their disability is taking advantage of them but actually it is

about Reggie this and bias. That is a hate crime. What needs to be done?

We need better training among the police and the CPS so they can

identify this offence and sentence it as a disability hate crime. If

you saw me on a bus and you saw a guy making fun of my disability and

my face, would you help me? Yes. I am quite gobby so I would step in.

It physically pains me to see stuff like that. I have friends with

disabilities and I've been in situations where I've felt I needed

to speak up. When it comes to people like me experiencing hate crime, do

you think that is similar to other kind of hate crime? I would say it

is a different scale. Obviously, racism... It is all about

appearances. I cannot help the way I look. I don't think it is helpful to

say this type of hate crime is more serious. Victoria says she

experiences serious verbal abuse in the street once every eight weeks.

It does not happen down at daily basis -- happen on a daily basis but

when it does they are extremely nasty. The Association of these

officers said they are working to improve reporting of offences. Even

though it is recognised as a hate crime, this person wants this figure

and to be recognised in law. People should be treated fairly and without

prejudice irrespective of what they look like and that means anybody

with any sort of disfigurement, and it comes in many forms, should be

treated without this type of harassment. The wonderful thing

about getting older is I don't care what people say. When people shout

out things, or take photographs of me, I just think, salt you. There is

something wrong with them. Thank you. The last time we saw you you

were talking about an album you have made. You can fit a lot more on

stage than on CD. In the back of my head I always thought this was a

live album. An album of songs that have always wanted to be performed.

You can throw in some deep cuts, tell stories, tie the songs

together. This is an opportunity to take that trip which I've been on.

And they are songs you love since you were young. You worried in

school that being a singer would lead to you being bullied. It was

not. I was a little weirder and picked on in school. When your voice

is high, and you are singing show tunes, you're thinking, I will get

wedgies for my entire school life. It was a music teacher who pulled me

out of the back of a choir and recognised I had an ability and

forced me to sing a solo in front of the class. I thought that was social

death, game over. I did it and it was such a wonderful moment. My

parents had not heard me before, they were crying, the bully that was

bullying me came up to me and said, you've got the voice of an angel,

man. People were nice to me. I was intolerable from that moment on. How

proud that teacher must have been. Unsung heroes all over the world. It

is why I am such an advocate for arts education in schools. I know

how important having that foundation can be for your confidence. That

teacher and I have stayed in touch and continued to be friends. You say

about the songs and how special they are, one of them... All I Ask Of

You. I wanted to be the Phantom when I was a child. It is one of the

great duets. I was lucky enough to do it with Kelly Clarkson. People

were surprised to hear her sing this style of music. I was, I did not

realise she did this style. I did not think she would say yes. She

just crushed it. She loves musical theatre as well. One person who was

lucky enough to see you sing was Prince Harry. You did the Royal

Variety Show. Yes. There we are, complementing each other's beards.

That is actually true. He said, well done, that is a killer beards. I was

going to say the same about you. Little mutual appreciation going on.

Let's have a look at what you performed.

We just get lost in that song. We do like a musical. You are touring over

here next May. That's right. We played a few shows in Manchester,

London and Birmingham. We are coming back, we're going to play the Royal

Albert Hall and we will be doing a lot of shows around the UK. The

Royal variety is on ITV on Tuesday next week.

This year our Advent Calendar is made up

of One Show viewers, expecting an extra special Christmas this year.

So let's find out who's behind door number 3.

This time last year, Howard was diagnosed with

Acute Myloid Leukaemia, but this week he's been given

the news that he's in remission and will be able to celebrate

Christmas at home with his family - including his first grandchild.

Tomorrow is also Howard's birthday so, Josh, would you do the honours?

# Happy birthday, dear Howard, happy birthday to you. #

Now tomorrow's not only Howard's birthday - it's also the day

the stars of the chess world decend on London for England's biggest

Joining us shortly - the man who's officially ranked as the best chess

Before we meet him, Here's Gyles on the chess match that

The year was 1972, the height of the Cold War. East versus West, but the

greatest confrontation was on the chessboard. An unlikely American

hero was to emerge in the hope of smashing the Russian grip on the

world chess title. Bobby Fischer was a child prodigy from Brooklyn and

exceeded all expectations by becoming champion at 16. I was able

to play through the games. I just always one. In 1972, Fischer got the

opportunity to prove he was best in the world when he played

rush-hour's world champion in Iceland. It was broadcast throughout

the world -- Russia. Chess had never seen this before and would never

experience it again. The rivals had a possible 24 games of chess and

head of them and each game could last five hours. Fischer was perhaps

too confident at the beginning of the first match, doing the

unthinkable and making a beginner's mistake. He allowed his bishop to be

trapped and as a result, lost the game. The pressure was on. The world

was watching. To add to the drama, Fischer shockingly field to show up

and Spassky won the second game by default. America's great hope was in

trouble. Fischer claimed he could hear the noise from the cameras.

Spassky Agrees to play Game three in a small backroom where the moves are

relayed by CCTV to the audience. By the time they reached Game six,

Fischer began to live up to the hype to provide the viewing world with

one of the most remarkable games of chess they'd ever seen.

With his opening move, Spassky an characteristically moved his porn to

C4, which took Fischer by surprise. In the Soviet chess camp they were

wondering what openings Fischer might play. Spassky said there's no

point preparing for anything else, Fischer only ever plays E4. The

audience burst into applause and Spassky applauded along with the

audience. An amazing act of sportsmanship. After 21 games,

Fischer finally won when Spassky resigned. He had reached the

pinnacle of his career and become a national hero. Unfortunately triumph

would turn to tragedy. Fischer would refuse to defend his title. So it

was stripped from him and handed to another Russian contender, Anatoly

Karpov. Fischer became a recluse, only resurfacing with the lure of a

large pay-out to beat Spassky again. But his genius turned to mental

instability and he lived out the rest of his life in Iceland until

his death in 2008. The Grand Master finally resigned at the age of 64.

So young. And talking of extraordinary moves, doesn't this

feel weird sitting this way round! I feel masculine! These welcome direct

from Norway the man who has taken the chess world by storm, world

champion Magnus Carlsen. APPLAUSE

I'm going to try and have a go at playing bullet chess with Magnus,

which is basically an well, it's a fast game of chess, that's correct.

So, Magnus, you have 30 seconds to checkmate mat. Matt, on the other

hand, because he's a bit of a beginner, has got two minutes. I

wonder who's going to win! On your marks... It just seems mad. Do I go

first? You are white, so you go first. Marks, get set go. Magnus, we

saw on the film there that Bobby Fischer became a Grand Master at 15.

How old were you when you started playing? I was eight years old when

I started playing chess. And how long did it take you to get good?

About a year, probably. He's got you in check already! That's absolutely

unbelievable. You won't believe this, but Magnusson sometimes plays

blindfolded as well. As you do! -- Magnus plays blindfolded. Do you

have to remember the same board? I have to visualise the board in my

head. Sometimes I sing blindfolded! LAUGHTER

Only one legal move, you have to go there.

LAUGHTER Do you dream in chess, Magnus? Yes,

I dream about chess, but for some reason it's only in nightmares. Oh,

right. RU concentrating? There you are, good. He's made a move. Very

quick, very aggressive play here. You've made chess very cool because

you been modelling with Liv Tyler and Lily Cole. Was that a conscious

thing, to try to bring a bit of cool to the game? Yes, it was a very

exciting opportunity to do something different. I'm very happy just to be

a chess player now. Check. Hang on! Is that it? No, not yet, it's not

checkmate! As it happens, you are a big fan, Josh. I was in a musical

called Chess, but I don't know how to play chess well. I watched a

programme about it in the states. Checkmate.

He's got me in 13 moves! That is really aggressive play. It's

extraordinary to be on the other end of what you're doing there. How far

ahead are you thinking in a match like that? How many moves ahead? It

was difficult to think ahead because I couldn't get any of your moves!

LAUGHTER APPLAUSE

There you go! Thank you, Magnus. The London Chess Classic tournament

takes place at Kensington Olympia from tomorrow until Sunday 13th of

December. If that game was too fast for you and you would like to see it

in a bit of Slo Mo, you can go to the website I will have a look as

soon as I get home! I have no idea what happened! We're getting ready

for Florence and the Machine to perform for us at the end of the

show. First, Miranda is off in search of a flame haired hero of her

own. Beneath the swirling currents of

cold water there is a wildlife secret of such vibrant colour it

rivals any coral reef. The wildlife in question actually creates reefs

in this loch, which in turn provide a habitat for much marine life. It

hides in a maze of underwater nests. Andy Jackson has spent many hours

exploring the reefs within this loch and learning about the animal that

built it, the flame shell. They were first discovered 200 years ago, long

before scuba-diving was invented. Because they are rarely seen and

spent most of their time out of sight, we've only just learned how

they behave, how important they are for these lochs. This stretch of the

loch, it is here where nutrients are channelled through by strong tidal

currents. Perfect for the wildlife but risky for us divers. Probably an

hour's died and I out pretty sharpish because otherwise it is a

trip into the Atlantic and you can wave at Skye on the way! We don't

have long before the tide turns. It's time for The One Show team to

gear up. Andy's experience will be necessary to find a flame shell.

Once we're in the water it is a 100 metres swim the edge of the reef.

It's extraordinary how much life there is in this loch, because the

sea floor is sand and gravel which doesn't normally provide a good

foothold for plants or a hiding place for animals. But here the

flame shell is buying the sand and gravel together into reef which can

cover an area as large as 100 football pitches. So absolutely

everything UCB on us is flame shell reef. But finding a flame shell can

be a tricky business. -- everything you see beyond us is flame shell

reef. There we are! Oh my God! The first one new turnover isn't meant

to have a flame shell! Look at it! Oh my word. I have never seen

anything like it. It's like a scholar -- scollop but with long

hair. It's got these really long neon orange tentacles. It's got two

part of its shell and you can clearly see how it's moving. It's

protracted contracting those two sides of its shell together. The

reef is amazing as well. Now we've turned it over you can see all the

structure. Have you seen the size of some of the pieces of shell that

these tiny little creatures manage the stick together? Flame shell is

lift pieces of sand and gravel with their muscular foot and bind them

together with sticky secretions. The nest that they have built is a

labyrinth of tiny passages and tunnels. Underneath here it's a

subterranean world where they are breeding and feeding. Massed

together, these flame shell nest 's form this huge reef and provide

shelter for animals and a foothold for plants. The basis for the

amazingly rich ecosystem of this loch.

Thanks as always to Miranda. On the show we will be announcing the ten

songs short listed for BBC music awards Song of the Year, voted for

by you, the public. We are now on the hunt for The One Show viewers to

perform the songs on the short list. You don't have to be able to sing,

you just have two lip sync or mine the songs. Here are our friends at

Battersea dogs home lip syncing to one of Florence and the Machine's

hits. A version like no other! If you

think that he would like to give it a go, just e-mail us your details at

the usual address. We will send our team and they will come in film, you

don't have to do a thing. We're here now with Florence and the Machine!

Hello. What a year it has been for you. Headline at Glastonbury which

we know was a big highlight for you. Now nominated for two BBC music

awards and next year it carries on again because you already know that

you're singing at British summertime festival at Hyde Park and that will

be a real highlight for you too. Why will that be so special? It's such

an iconic place to play. My heroes have played there like Neil Young

and the Stones, and also we got to pick who can play with us, which is

the most amazing thing. We have got Kendrick Lamar and I am a huge fan

of his, he is incredible life. And Jamie XX as well, we started at the

same time so we have known each other for ages. Talking of singing

live, you're about to do it now. Time to say thanks very much to Josh

and to Magnus as well. Now Ship To Wreck, from your album
