:00:18. > :00:19.Hello, and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.
:00:20. > :00:22.Tonight's guests have starred in two of the most talked-about
:00:23. > :00:27.One shocked audiences when she did a disappearing act as calculating
:00:28. > :00:40.Nick took my pride and dignity and my hope and my money. He took and
:00:41. > :00:42.took from me until I no longer existed. That is murder.
:00:43. > :00:45.Let the punishment fit the crime. And the other reminded us
:00:46. > :00:52.of a pivotal moment in American history playing Dr Martin
:00:53. > :01:06.Luther King in Selma. We will not wait any longer. Give us
:01:07. > :01:07.the vote. We are not ask, we are demanding. Give us the vote.
:01:08. > :01:11.Now they've teamed up for a brilliant new film and,
:01:12. > :01:18.Please welcome Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo.
:01:19. > :01:25.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Welcome, welcome to you both. And a
:01:26. > :01:28.very exciting time in your career but before we talk about movies this
:01:29. > :01:33.is what everybody is talking about today. Have you heard about the
:01:34. > :01:42.Waterbottle Challenge? Yes. The idea is to try and get it to land on its
:01:43. > :01:47.base, like that. How long have you practised. Practised. This is the
:01:48. > :01:53.real truthful all afternoon. It's a big thing in our house at the
:01:54. > :01:58.moment. But there. Your technique is a bit off. We will be asking you to
:01:59. > :02:02.do it shortly. So less about my technique. You focus on yourself.
:02:03. > :02:12.Everybody is doing it. We are talking Olympians are doing it. It
:02:13. > :02:19.is being banned in schools. Can we replay that. Can we replay
:02:20. > :02:26.it? It honesty happened. Here we go. They did record. Yes. Here we go.
:02:27. > :02:36.There you go, look. We sort of saw it. You can have a go later on.ful.
:02:37. > :02:40.Can't wait! We saw sort of crossed swords with won Anne Robinson, she
:02:41. > :02:46.said she couldn't see any point in having a pet. I think was trying to
:02:47. > :02:52.work people up. It worked. . If you like cats you wouldn't want to live
:02:53. > :02:58.next to these ones. Look at these. Oh my God, these
:02:59. > :03:06.aren't mind. I found these three. He is beautiful. Taking over the back
:03:07. > :03:16.alleys and streets in Nottingham, a gang of feral cats.
:03:17. > :03:19.Fighting, fouling and fornicating, wildcats like these are multiplying
:03:20. > :03:24.and no-one can agree on what has to be done about them They need to move
:03:25. > :03:29.on, it is hazardous people's health It is not their fault they are wild.
:03:30. > :03:32.We would leave a dog out for it to fend for itself. . I can't sit
:03:33. > :03:41.outside because it is smelling. That is out of control.
:03:42. > :03:47.Locals reckon up to 70 cats are living wild. Some want them gone,
:03:48. > :03:51.others want them leaved after. I am here to make sure it doesn't end up
:03:52. > :03:56.in a cat fight. Dawn wants immediate action. No-one wants to come out and
:03:57. > :04:00.have their eyes streaming and they can't breathe with the stench. I am
:04:01. > :04:07.even thinking of moving, that is how bad it is. Even the dogs are crying
:04:08. > :04:11.about it. They are. After complaints, the council wrote
:04:12. > :04:14.to residents warning them that feeding the cats could result in a
:04:15. > :04:19.fine, but this hasn't deterred everyone.
:04:20. > :04:24.Hayley is just one of the locals still putting out food It is
:04:25. > :04:29.ridiculous, because fining people for feeding a starving animal is
:04:30. > :04:34.wrong. I have tried a number of time, ringing cat agencies, everyone
:04:35. > :04:41.is always full. Over the road, John is looking after
:04:42. > :04:46.27 ferals in his garden, including two kittens. How can you not love
:04:47. > :04:51.that? Goo why are you looking after them? To have them sitting round,
:04:52. > :04:56.watching you, they groum like dad and much. Beautiful.
:04:57. > :05:01.As John shows me where the cats like to hang out we find o new litter of
:05:02. > :05:07.feral fur balls. Look at these. These aren't mine. Can you get them.
:05:08. > :05:11.I don't know. I will get, will I get a disease off them? Worried it might
:05:12. > :05:17.scratch me. It will do what it is told. The claws are sharp. Can I put
:05:18. > :05:22.them down. They are all matted. They are all closed up, their eyes. He is
:05:23. > :05:29.nearly blind, he is gappy, and you, you are not too bad. It is crazy.
:05:30. > :05:34.All these kittens have cat flu and eye infections which thankfully for
:05:35. > :05:39.us are not transmittable to humans. The charity Cats Protection is on
:05:40. > :05:42.hand to treat them. Jane is their neutering manager. Where are they
:05:43. > :05:46.coming from? A big part of the problem is across the UK people are
:05:47. > :05:54.not getting their cats neutered, that means they are able to have
:05:55. > :05:58.kittens. One female cat can result in 25,000 in five years. What is the
:05:59. > :06:03.plan? We will start by making sure the cats are fed in one place, that
:06:04. > :06:09.will enable us to trap them and take them to the vet and get a spay or
:06:10. > :06:14.snip. Of course feral perils don't just run free in Nottingham.
:06:15. > :06:18.Yorkshires a rescue puts the number of unwanted kittens born at more
:06:19. > :06:25.than four million. This is every day for us. Every day we are picking up
:06:26. > :06:28.scrag ends like you. There are feral cats living like
:06:29. > :06:32.this throughout the country. Local Authorities do need now to take
:06:33. > :06:36.responsibility here, just as they will take responsibility for other
:06:37. > :06:40.things in the local environment. Rescue centre manager Sam has been
:06:41. > :06:44.called out to six feral kittens born in a back alley in Bradford.
:06:45. > :06:49.Thankfully these little ones and their mum will be neutered and found
:06:50. > :06:53.loving homes. But being born for ram is a tough
:06:54. > :06:57.start in life with to guarantee of the a happy ending.. In this sort of
:06:58. > :07:02.environment not many of the kittens survive and sadly this one, not made
:07:03. > :07:06.it. There are other countries that have solution, our Government needs
:07:07. > :07:12.to look at the country, to see what is working there, because this
:07:13. > :07:15.problem needs to be addressed. Back in Nottingham, Cats Protection
:07:16. > :07:19.are putting their plan into place. If successful it will put the brakes
:07:20. > :07:22.on the feral population boom. But of course, it won't make them go away.
:07:23. > :07:26.You are not going to take the cats away from this area. No, we are not.
:07:27. > :07:33.There will be cat hearse. Why is that a good idea. If you remove them
:07:34. > :07:38.cats from out the area will move in. Neutering will help prevent smells
:07:39. > :07:42.and stop the cats fighting. So the people in this corner of Nottingham
:07:43. > :07:47.will still have to share it with their feral squatters but at least
:07:48. > :07:52.it will be less noisy and a little more fragrant P We do have an update
:07:53. > :07:55.for you. The latest news is that the process of rounding up and neutering
:07:56. > :08:01.the cats is under way and the kittens you saw, they are now at an
:08:02. > :08:09.adoption centre and will be rehomed when they are ready. They are cute.
:08:10. > :08:15.Let us talk about a UK Ukraine. It is a true story based on Seretse
:08:16. > :08:18.Khama and Ruth William, you sent and image to Rosamund to see if you
:08:19. > :08:26.would be interested in taking the role. This is the image of Seretse
:08:27. > :08:33.and Ruth in real life. What emotions did that evoke in you. David sent me
:08:34. > :08:38.that picture among other, and as I looked, didn't know anything about
:08:39. > :08:42.these, didn't know who they were, I looked after that photograph, I
:08:43. > :08:47.think it was something about, I think I saw the love and I think I
:08:48. > :08:53.saw the journey they had made, somehow, an it made me cry. I
:08:54. > :08:57.started crying, and it was a really strange and unexpected reaction that
:08:58. > :09:01.you sort of have to pay attention to, I tend to be private about those
:09:02. > :09:07.thing, but it has been talked about, but you know, those things, that are
:09:08. > :09:10.unexplicable and aren't to do with you thinking about anything, those
:09:11. > :09:14.moments when you are preparing for the a role they count. David, for
:09:15. > :09:18.those that don't know the story, this is something that has been on
:09:19. > :09:23.your mind, you wanted to tell this story for a long time. Why is it
:09:24. > :09:30.such a passion for you, and in a nutshell, what is the story. The
:09:31. > :09:35.story is about Seretse Khama who was studying in London, in the '40s,en
:09:36. > :09:40.he was studying law, and he was the heir to the throne of Botswana, he
:09:41. > :09:45.met this lady, Ruth Williams and they felt in love, they got married
:09:46. > :09:48.and the fall out from their interracial marriage was something
:09:49. > :09:55.they could not have fully anticipated. It caused a diplomatic
:09:56. > :10:01.earthquake between South Africa, Botswana and the United Kingdom. And
:10:02. > :10:05.it really is a story of love, this. And love overcoming all, and the
:10:06. > :10:11.hope that love will overcome all. That is right. You can get cynical
:10:12. > :10:15.about that, and you know, we have all grown up hearing fairy tales and
:10:16. > :10:20.in this story, living it, playing it I believed it. I believe you know,
:10:21. > :10:24.that Ruth, I can't really speak for you Ruth's strength came from
:10:25. > :10:30.knowing she was loved. And it gave her this tremendous strength. She
:10:31. > :10:33.was a very ordinary girl from Blackheath, she had been liberated
:10:34. > :10:38.in the war, she has done some jobs that would have previously been
:10:39. > :10:42.occupied by men, she had nothing to prepare her for this on a global
:10:43. > :10:47.stage. That love she had for Seretse. That was a thing that kept
:10:48. > :10:51.her on the straight and, that was the one thing she was driving for,
:10:52. > :10:55.they changed the face of a nation in the process. It is unbelievable what
:10:56. > :10:59.they did. The love between the two characters does shine through in the
:11:00. > :11:05.film. This is them, Ruth and Seretse having been on their first date when
:11:06. > :11:11.Ruth learns that Seretse is an isn't actually an ordinary man. Can we do
:11:12. > :11:23.this again? I mean meet? Is that too forward of me? No. No. What? Queen
:11:24. > :11:29.Victoria. The men who negotiated for her protection of bats wanna land.
:11:30. > :11:43.He was my grandfather. -- Botswana land. Land: A king. I am his heir.
:11:44. > :11:48.Oh... I see. APPLAUSE
:11:49. > :11:52.They do end up having a child, and that child, Ian is now the current
:11:53. > :11:56.President of Botswana, so was he involved in this process, in any
:11:57. > :12:01.way? Did you get to meet him, did you see him? Yes, met with him under
:12:02. > :12:08.the most extraordinary circumstances, we were shoots in
:12:09. > :12:12.Botswana one day and Rosamund and Terry who played Seretse's sister
:12:13. > :12:18.were doing a scene, I was on set on that day and we heard this noise and
:12:19. > :12:23.a helicopter. We were whispered to that the President is arriving and
:12:24. > :12:29.he landed... As the light is going. Were you nervous? We didn't really
:12:30. > :12:34.have time to get nervous, because for security reasons we weren't
:12:35. > :12:38.forewarned, thankfully. He walked behind the monitor, sat next to me
:12:39. > :12:44.and had this Presidential bearing about him, sat down and then
:12:45. > :12:49.Rosamund and Terry... A bit of Elvis mixed in. He has good hair. They
:12:50. > :12:52.were doing this scene. At the end of it he reasons we weren't forewarned,
:12:53. > :12:55.thankfully. He walked behind the monitor, sat next to me and had this
:12:56. > :12:58.Presidential bearing about him, sat down and then Rosamund and Terry...
:12:59. > :13:01.A bit of Elvis mixed in. He has good hair. They were doing this scene. At
:13:02. > :13:03.the end of it he turned to me and said "It's so strange seeing my
:13:04. > :13:06.parents again." And you know, you could see... That is the biggest
:13:07. > :13:09.compliment he could have paid you in a sense. I didn't know about that.
:13:10. > :13:12.It is S it must be strange to see your parents younger than you knew
:13:13. > :13:16.them, as it were. And to see that political story his parents almost
:13:17. > :13:20.created, and what has come from that, and, yeah, there, you must
:13:21. > :13:26.have all sorts of emotions mixed up in that? As a happily married man
:13:27. > :13:31.myself and a shameless romantic, I love this story for the fact that
:13:32. > :13:34.despite all the political machination, the thing that cut a
:13:35. > :13:38.swathe through all of it was the love these two people had. As
:13:39. > :13:41.Rosamund said that went on to change the nation, the power of love did
:13:42. > :13:46.that. I think that is an amazing thing to see. It must be frustrating
:13:47. > :13:49.that the film is not out for a little while, because A United
:13:50. > :13:52.Kingdom is out on the 25th November but people are going to be excited
:13:53. > :14:01.about it. Real anticipation for this one. I hope so. Seretse and Ruth
:14:02. > :14:06.within their battle, achieving independence for Botswana in 1966.
:14:07. > :14:13.Meanwhile in that same year immigrants had their own fight on
:14:14. > :14:18.their hands, as Emma explains. This is Euston railway station in
:14:19. > :14:20.London. It is a place of fusion and diversety, with people from all
:14:21. > :14:26.cultures working and passing through.
:14:27. > :14:30.But it wasn't always that way. As recently as 1966, as some British
:14:31. > :14:34.Railway stations black people weren't allowed to work in jobs
:14:35. > :14:42.where they camen to contact with the public. But this man was determined
:14:43. > :14:46.to change that. I have come to Kent to meet his son, daughter and niece.
:14:47. > :14:51.People came to him for advice, he was like the head of the family. As
:14:52. > :14:57.the youngest daughter he was protective to me. I remember sitting
:14:58. > :15:00.on his lap, or him holding my hand. After World War II, there were
:15:01. > :15:03.desperate shortages of workers in Britain. Asquith was part of a
:15:04. > :15:08.generation of people from the Caribbean, who came here, to keep
:15:09. > :15:13.our workforce going. The advert went out to the colony,
:15:14. > :15:17.around the world, they said come to London, England is your mother
:15:18. > :15:21.country, the streets of London are paved with gold, you can have
:15:22. > :15:28.regular jobs and income, and you can have a better life. They believed
:15:29. > :15:32.it. Life was hard for the family and others like them who earned much
:15:33. > :15:35.less than other workers. But in ten years as quit worked his way up to a
:15:36. > :15:43.guard at Marylebone station. With a big family to support he
:15:44. > :15:47.applied for a transfer to Euston station in 1966, where the guards
:15:48. > :15:50.were paid an extra ?10 a week, but he did not get the job and received
:15:51. > :15:59.an extraordinary letter of rejection. It was an unwritten law
:16:00. > :16:04.that they would not have any ethnic minority people to meet with
:16:05. > :16:09.passengers. What kind of jobs were black people allowed to do?
:16:10. > :16:18.Cleaning, menu task, it was blatant dissemination. He was invited like
:16:19. > :16:24.everyone else -- menial tasks, it was blatant discrimination. It
:16:25. > :16:30.didn't make sense. Asquith had a battle on his hands. The letter had
:16:31. > :16:33.been signed by the rail union, the very people supposed to be
:16:34. > :16:38.supporting him, but he would not take no for an answer and he kept
:16:39. > :16:44.lobbying the union until eventually MPs and railway managers started to
:16:45. > :16:50.take notice and in July 1966 amidst intense media pressure he got his
:16:51. > :16:55.victory. There is no colour bar now of any description at Euston.
:16:56. > :17:00.Celebration was short lived. Before long he received death threats. We
:17:01. > :17:05.have uncovered information about what he went through, that not even
:17:06. > :17:14.his family has seen before. That is kind of scary, looking at that. He
:17:15. > :17:18.has been handed three anonymous letters, one said his client would
:17:19. > :17:23.be cut, and another said when you get to Euston you will wish you had
:17:24. > :17:32.never come, I've never seen that before and I feel very hurt. I feel
:17:33. > :17:39.very hurt by that. Quite shocking. He was as brave as a lion. Look at
:17:40. > :17:43.him. I've seen pictures of him smiling, after these things, he was
:17:44. > :17:48.fearless. For the next two years colour bars continue to affect
:17:49. > :17:52.workers at other stations, but Asquith's fight has started
:17:53. > :17:57.something unstoppable and in 1968 the -based nations act made it
:17:58. > :18:03.illegal to refuse some unemployment on the grounds of their race -- race
:18:04. > :18:08.relations act. Now, after 50 years, The One Show as a surprise for his
:18:09. > :18:14.family. We have persuaded Network Rail to honour him permanently in
:18:15. > :18:21.the heart of the station. We have a little something, a surprise to show
:18:22. > :18:28.you. Colback this curtain. -- brought back. This plaque will stand
:18:29. > :18:40.here, for your father's legacy. You are welcome. It must be emotional.
:18:41. > :18:52.Indescribable. It has knocked us sideways. I'm very pleased it has
:18:53. > :18:57.happened. His fight helped end racial discrimination in the
:18:58. > :19:05.workplace, his is a name we should all know. STUDIO: That is lovely.
:19:06. > :19:15.David, what did you make of the story? You were moved. Yes. Colour
:19:16. > :19:23.bar is the name of the book that Susan Williams wrote that talks of
:19:24. > :19:27.Ruth Williams and Seretse Khama's story, and I just love that you
:19:28. > :19:32.showed that film, to show people how much the black experience is
:19:33. > :19:36.interwoven into British history and how little of it we have seen. That
:19:37. > :19:41.was one of the primary motivations for me in terms of getting A United
:19:42. > :19:44.Kingdom made, to show how much we are part of this country's history,
:19:45. > :19:52.not always the best part, but still a part of it. A significant part.
:19:53. > :19:55.Still very much working on projects in the future with that in mind.
:19:56. > :19:59.This week the husband of a woman who died after falling off her bike
:20:00. > :20:02.while not wearing a helmet has called for a change in the law -
:20:03. > :20:04.making it compulsory for all cyclists to wear helmets.
:20:05. > :20:06.But how much support is there from the cycling
:20:07. > :20:09.Michael Douglas has been to find out.
:20:10. > :20:13.Cycling in a big city is complete with hazards, but if you choose to
:20:14. > :20:18.ride without a helmet or even bring out your phone for a quick selfie,
:20:19. > :20:24.could you be taking a risk too far? I went on my bike to find why some
:20:25. > :20:30.cyclists might be taking less safety precautions than others. What are
:20:31. > :20:35.you not wearing a helmet? People give you a wide berth if you are
:20:36. > :20:46.wearing one. How safety fear without they had -- safety you feel without
:20:47. > :20:54.helmet and with headphones on? I feel as safe as possibly could be.
:20:55. > :20:59.Can I ask you a question? Do you normally ride with a helmet? Yes,
:21:00. > :21:08.but I forgot it this morning. Do you feel vulnerable? A little bit, yes.
:21:09. > :21:15.Psychologically, if I fall, I feel I will be more injured. How come you
:21:16. > :21:23.are not wearing a helmet? I don't want a helmet. Do you feel
:21:24. > :21:27.vulnerable without one? No. I was amazed at how many people who will
:21:28. > :21:32.not wearing helmets and how comfortable they were with this.
:21:33. > :21:37.Should everyone be made to wear a helmet? It is freedom of choice,
:21:38. > :21:41.whatever gives you confidence to go out riding is important, the biggest
:21:42. > :21:44.way to get confidence is by putting in far better infrastructure than we
:21:45. > :21:49.have got in the UK so we have space for cycling. People have mobile
:21:50. > :21:54.phones and headphones, so many distractions, how do you feel? You
:21:55. > :21:58.have got to be responsible on the road, you need to look ahead at what
:21:59. > :22:03.is going on, and you should have your senses and wits about you. We
:22:04. > :22:06.know about drinking and driving, but be careful when you are on your
:22:07. > :22:13.bike, we have got to look out for each other because we are all in
:22:14. > :22:22.this together. How come you don't wear red helmet? -- a helmet. I'm
:22:23. > :22:27.riding every day and I know every set of lights and I know where
:22:28. > :22:37.people are coming from. If spirits plays a big part in being safe. --
:22:38. > :22:44.experience. I take my time. What about something hitting you? A
:22:45. > :22:48.careless driver? I am very careful. If it was made mandatory to wear a
:22:49. > :22:54.helmet, that would frustrate you? I would break the law. I got to go.
:22:55. > :23:02.Thanks very much. One study found that helmets reduce the likelihood
:23:03. > :23:07.of serious head injury by up to 70%, and another found those with helmets
:23:08. > :23:14.were more likely to take risks on the road. If that is true, the best
:23:15. > :23:22.advice is to keep wearing a helmet, but cycle is if you are not wearing
:23:23. > :23:30.one. STUDIO: If you fall onto a hard floor, it is going to hurt, so put a
:23:31. > :23:37.helmet on. Anyway... We found this great clip of you, David, scoring

:23:49. > :23:55.That was my fourth time of trying, but still. That day. LAUGHTER
:23:56. > :24:04.It is time to do the water bottle challenge. To be fair, that is why
:24:05. > :24:10.we are doing it. Choose your bottle. Is the water to bottle ratio right?
:24:11. > :24:23.It is up to you. When you are ready. Oh! Just keep going. Oh! Is it going
:24:24. > :24:33.to happen? You have about 20 seconds. CHEERING

:25:39. > :25:44.signals breakfast. Amongst the first visitors, the pollen hungry bees,
:25:45. > :25:51.and others follow suit. A soldier beetle and cow parsley. Chafe at
:25:52. > :25:56.feeding on dandelion pollen. Connecting the dusting on its body
:25:57. > :26:05.and pollinating the next flower and wittingly. For the slug it is the
:26:06. > :26:15.petal of a juicy buttercup. As the date heats up, the butterflies join
:26:16. > :26:20.the fray, painted lady, Peacock, opening their wings until the sun
:26:21. > :26:36.rays were on their night chilled blood. -- warm. Millions are drawn
:26:37. > :26:42.into feed off the meadow. Descend down the grassy steps and a pool of
:26:43. > :26:52.water is home to a new group of inhabitants. A ruddy dragonfly in
:26:53. > :27:00.search of a mate. A raft spider spies the water for its next meal.
:27:01. > :27:12.The hive of activity draws a crowd up above. The feasting in sex make a
:27:13. > :27:26.-- the feasting insects make a meal for the birds. There is an abundant
:27:27. > :27:37.but fate to feed the cheque. A buzzard rides, scouring the meadow.
:27:38. > :27:52.For more substantial meals. But as the day draws to an end, the setting
