12/12/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to our freshly decorated festive One Show

Have a look. Do you like this? CHEERING

We have the fire, the window, and some lovely trees. Only thing we

don't have, is a talking tree. Maybe something like this?

Break the windows. Windows. Break them yourself. APPLAUSE

There is only one man who has the voice to make a tree truly

terrifying, please welcome Liam Neeson and his young co-star Lewis

McGugan. you have been together now for two

weeks, has Liam been giving you any advice? I guess I was a bit nervous,

and he was telling me to enjoy it, and just don't get too nervous. Have

you ever done an interview from the inside of an Advent calendar?

LAUGHTER Also tonight, Angela Scanlon will

take us backstage at the BBC Music Awards.

She'll be chatting with the likes of Craig David, John Legend,

Emeli Sande and the one and only Robbie Williams, before they perform

We will include some pictures of the old red carpets and you always have

this pose. It is these films, these Taken, movies, and I'm trying to be

tough. I do it automatically now. It is kind of your thing. But with

Lois, we notice you have taken it to a new level -- Lewis. What is going

on? You see, I can't stop. Unlocking forward to -- I'm looking forward to

talking to you about A Monster Calls. Alex has seen it. I was in

bits. Liam is of course so famous he's

recognised wherever he goes, and after this movie Lewis' face

will be everywhere too. But thanks to controversial

new technology that seems to be straight out of a Liam Neeson action

movie, we could all soon Just how easy is it to pick out a

face in a crowd? When you have 9 million visitors a year like

Manchester's Christmas market, it is like a needle in a haystack. We are

going to give it a go using the latest facial recognition

technology, Inc tested by security services and the police across the

world and it is claimed that it can spot known criminals in an instant

-- it is being tested. We are going to put this to the test. Chris and

his team works for one of the companies at the forefront of the

technology and they are setting up the cameras in two of the market's

busiest sections, each one is connected to a laptop, and can

search for faces of wanted individuals. How does it know what

it is looking for? Certain characteristics, relative positions

of different landmarks on your face, and the shading of your face. You

have a few people setting up. Look at that. You can see that we'll is

in the database, but Adam isn't. If I go in front of will, his name

disappears. When it has enough information, it has checked and then

says it is him. This is happening in real time? Yes. We have a group of

Christmas shoppers and they have provided a photograph of the

database and to make it a bit trickier they have brought along

disguises. Will the camera picked them up and identify them? Very

unlikely. It depends how good the technology is. Will the camera

picked you up? I hope not, I want to win this. It will be clever if it

does. We can find out how clever it is and activate the cameras. Bill

and Alicia are the first to walk by. Look at that. It has picked up Bill

with a bid. Both of them. -- beard. The first two volunteers have been

picked up just like that. Similar technology is in use at passport

control areas in airports. It is also found in some smartphones,

automatically grouping friends and family into albums, but those can

only work on a still image and they won't work on a moving person. Back

at the Christmas market, two more shoppers are approaching the

cameras. She has a bolder blonde wig on, should that make any difference?

The blonde nurse will not make a difference, but it could obscure a

number of her facial features -- the blonde quality will not make a

difference. This is looking quite promising, they are coming very

close. It has failed to recognise either of them. You have to see a

face and you have to see another the face to be able to measure those

characteristics. We had a shot and we processed him, but that did not

find a match was his younger photograph has fooled the system. It

may not be full proof, but technology is being trialled in

London and Leicestershire by police forces. Journalist Alastair

specialises in privacy issues and he's worried by lack of legislation

governing its use. It is the way we balance police powers and public

privacy in the 21st-century, when it comes to DNA and fingerprints they

are established laws in place which cover how long biometric information

might be kept, but with facial images at the moment they are not

included in the legislation. What is the problem with that? On the place

national database there are 16.5 million mugshot images but according

to the Di Commissioner hundreds of thousands of these will never have

been charged and never have been convicted -- biometric Commissioner.

So should they be holding onto the information? The government 's

investigation has not yet been published will stop what does Chris

make of the privacy concerns? I do not think this is a bad tool, but it

is there to help find bad people and stop them from doing bad things. In

our test five of the eight shoppers were successfully spotted and the

other three managed to go undetected. Looking at faces is not

a 100% perfect science and I'm happy with the way it went. The debate

over facial recce missions soft -- facial recognition software will

rumble on, and we have seen this is a very powerful tool in the right

hands. STUDIO: The mind boggles at what they can do. Some of the weeks

work. And the beards. Lewis, you are on film posters, when we first

recognised? I've not been recognised yet. My friends went to the cinema

once and they weren't expecting to see me back then they saw the

trailer for A Monster Calls and they told me that. I've been getting

messages and love from people. It is about to get a lot more. You are in

this movie, an enormous amount. Liam, what happens in the film? It

is based on an extraordinary little book by Patrick Ness. It is about a

boy who is going through a very difficult period in his life and he

has no one to relate to or talk to. He is bullied at school. In his

troubles mind he conjures this monster -- troubled mind. Which is

this tree which tells him these tales and tries to guide him through

this terrible period he is going through. And give him advice. That

is kind of essentially what it is about. We can have a look at a bit

more of the film. I'm not afraid. Of course you are afraid. But you will

make it through. For this is why you called me.

I suppose, from watching that segment, people could think it was a

family fantasy film, but it does deal with some very deep rooted

issues and very hard issues. Very emotional film. Who would you say

the film is targeted at? Like the book, it is targeted at young

adults, but anybody can watch it, I think. The lessons that Connor

learns can benefit anyone and the great thing about the film is that

anyone can relate to it because many people suffered a loss or treatment.

By the way, this young actor here... He goes to an emotional range which

would embarrass Shakespeare's hammered. It is phenomenal --

Hamlet. It was two years ago when you started filming and you were 12?

Yes. How did you cope with that? When I was told I got the part, I

was excited but also nervous. It is a big role to undertake. I was lucky

enough, when I started, everyone was really comforting and welcoming.

They helped. You are in every scene. It is an amazing performance. You

hold the entire thing together. Yeah. You are making a real name for

yourself and rightly so because you are fantastic in this film, what did

you want to do when you were around at the age of Lewis? Take apples

from trees. Rebel without a clue. I was very in sconce in school and

amateur boxing. That is where that comes from, that post. In those days

it was more like this. You are very aware of the Hollywood world which

Lewis is entering and now a part of, what have you been saying to him to

be wary of? Or not as the case may be forced up my advice, keep doing

what you are doing, stay grounded, stay close to friends and family,

they are very important. That is essentially it. Stay real to

yourself. That can be hard, by the way. Very hard. People telling you

you're brilliant and you are great. When you start believing that it can

affect you for the sometimes not for the best. How did that relationship

affect you on set? It was CGI, but you were there and having a

dialogue. How did that work? Liam was not on set when we were doing

the film but we had ten days motion capture, which is when we are

putting the suits on, these sensors. Like ping-pong balls. That gave me

an opportunity to rehearse, but on set, they made a monster 's head

kind of thing, full size, spectacular animal tonics will stop

the mouth good move. You are acting to that? Yes, it was helpful,

definitely. A Monster Calls is out on New Year's Day, take some

tissues. Over at the Excel in London

there's a very busy red carpet at the moment,

because everyone is arriving It's a night celebrating

the best music of 2016, and we've given Angela the task

of tracking down some Who have you got? We are here at the

ExCel Centre and the glittering stars on the carpet, but I'm

interested in what is happening here. It is a bit gritty. We have so

many 14 performances. Starting with Emeli Sande, I'm very excited --

many wonderful performances. You are back with your second album, app,

how terrifying is that, the all-important second album? --

second album, Long Live The Angels. I was nervous as to how people would

receive these songs, but I wanted to approach it with honesty and as much

salt as possible and I hope people enjoy the music. -- as much soul.

What are you going to do this evening? It will be a nice Christmas

special, much of the album has a gospel choir and they are here with

me tonight. We wanted to stay true to the song, breathing underwater,

and the rehearsals have been very special. It is Christmas, so we

thought we would get you a beautiful gift. You have done stuff for

charity and I hope this comes in handy. Thank you very much. We are

going to go off and see if we can find Robbie Williams. I'm hoping...

He is a busy man, but let's see how we go. There's a lot happening here,

very bustling. Claudia Winkleman, straight off Strictly, and here is

the man himself. You can see the heavies outside. Can we go in?

Hello. How are you? Nice to see you. Lovely to see U2.

This live? Hello, live, Britain. Have you got a microphone? Yes. Are

talking to this and people can hear me. You a sharp as well as talented.

This is quite' room. You call this blush? No, no. Do you have an

intense rider? Know, I've never picked one out for myself but I

notice it is getting less and less, the older I get and the road thins

as I get older because I can't eat sugar any more, or drink alcohol any

more. It is just like, three pieces of pineapple, some arm and in some

coconut water that never gets drunk. -- some almonds. I am closing the

sunken eyed with a song called Sensational from my new album. Why

this song? I imagine it's difficult to pick a song for an event of this

scale. It was written as a show close, actually. I was with my

songwriting partner, Mr Guy Chambers, come in, quick! There he

is. I was saying, wouldn't it be great if we had an old-fashioned

show close like Sammy Davis Junior used to do or Dean Martin? So we

wrote one and the song has reached its destination because we are using

it to close the show this evening, that we are doing right now.

Beautiful and you are also quite busy over Christmas and the New

Year, I believe? Yes, I am, on New Year's Eve I'm doing a big show on

the television, for the BBC. Beautiful. New Year's Eve is taken.

My dance card is full and I have got to go and sing at people but I'm

really looking forward to it. You will be backstage a lot so we got

you a little game. I wanted to get you reindeer pants but I was

overruled so instead, a football game. Figure out how to play it. You

open it. Thank you very much. Thank you for chatting. Pleasure. Thank

you, darling. See you later. Goodbye. APPLAUSE

I hope we get home in time for the finale because I love a bit of

Robbie. Who has the biggest rider that you know of? In the world of

Hollywood. What does it mean? When you say what drinks you what, what

suites you want, popcorn, probably more high-end, in the dressing. You

have never heard of a rider? I swear I've never heard that word! How do

you spell it? Rider. I have never had one either.

There's only 12 sleeps left until Christmas Eve,

which means reindeer like Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet,

Cupid and Rudolph are getting ready for a long night ahead.

But have you ever wondered how they can see where they're

They gallop across the night sky, pulling Father Christmas on a

sleigh, packed with presents. But they don't just fly. Reindeer have

another special ability and I'm going to attempt to prove it, with

this Christmas star. With very little daylight, living in the

Arctic tundra is tough. Fortunately, reindeer have an unusual adaptation

that makes life a little easier. They are able to see UV, the

ultraviolet spectrum of light. The human eye can see what is called

visible light, the colours red down to Violet. But reindeer can see

beyond that. Professor Glenn Jeffrey from University College London

discovered reindeer can see ultraviolet light. The animal adapts

and is evolved to its environment. By actually being able to go down

deeper into the UV, they get a lot more light in the eye and if you do

that, you are in a much better position to find food, to see your

predator when he is stalking you. The reindeer has one key predator,

the wolf. We can see a white dwarf on a snowy background. But the

reindeer sees, because there is no UV being reflected back from it, it

sees a much darker image, so it sees a very dark animal on a white

background. These animals have evolved that mechanism in 10,000

years. That is impressive. Luckily, we don't have to go all the way to

the Arctic to catch up with these cleverly adapted creatures. Here at

home farm, near market harbour in Leicestershire, and she keeps a herd

of reindeer. We are going to use two other animals in a special Christmas

ultraviolet experiment. -- to of her animals. I got two to start off with

from Sweden and over 10-12 years, we have got 47. Who are we using in the

experiment? A male and female, Sven and Sven who is full of character to

a month ago, we rate the stars over the feeding troughs, the reindeer

were fed here every day but only the start over the trough that had the

food in was switched on. The UV stars in the stable's Tim Wright

might not be visible to us but the reindeer should associate an

illuminated star with a tasty snack. One month on and we are putting it

to the test. We are moving one of the stars and putting it on top of

what else but a Christmas tree, to see if the reindeer will follow the

star, even when there's no food at the bottom. Using a special

ultraviolet camera, we should be able to show what we see and what

the reindeer sees. They should now associate UV light with food. It is

time to release the first reindeer. He's walking in the right direction.

As he noticed the star? Oh, look at this. He's going towards...

Definitely spotted it! Look at that! He has gone straight to the tree. He

has followed the UV star. He's pawing the tree because he has

equated the star with food. He's expecting food there. Brilliant.

Astonishing. Shall we released the second reindeer? Absolutely. Here

comes second reindeer. What is she going to do? Would you believe it?

Straight over as well! Angela, I have to say that is a result. Back

of the net. I never thought it would work but the reindeer, as soon as

they became acclimatised to the field, straight to the tree and the

star. Brilliant. Well done, you. Thank you very much. It seems our

reindeer definitely associate UV light with survival. It is amazing

to think there are still things to discover about animals that we

thought we knew pretty well. So while Santa's reindeer only use

their magic flying abilities once each year, it is astonishing that

their special UV vision is used right throughout the winter to help

keep them fed and safe from predators. Follow that star.

Reindeer moss, that is what they like to eat. Lichen, like a mossy

thing. I would have gone with a mince pie myself! It is a bit like a

rider. We want to talk to you about Unicef and the work you do as a

goodwill ambassador. One recent trip you did, you went to Jordan, didn't

you come meet some Syrian refugees? What impact did it have on you?

Myself and my son went out there, we just got back a couple of weeks ago.

It is a huge refugee camp, 80,000 people, ten miles from the Jordanian

border. It is called Zatari and the work Unicef are doing is amazing,

especially educating the children. Half of the 80,000 are children. I

was so impressed with these Muslim girls, 14, 15, 16, you talk about

girls being empowered with education, and they wanted to be

mathematicians, police inspectors, engineers and teachers. Very

impressed with what Unicef are doing. And by the way, this time of

the year, I know all the charities are looking for money and stuff but

I just wanted to say, you know, Unicef, for every ?1 that goes

there, 75p goes where it is supposed to go, to the children. I just

wanted to say that. There's a documentary about Zatari on BBC One

awhile ago. Lots of causes to give two and the public are generous. The

British people are extraordinarily generous. Absolutely.

Angela has found some more big names backstage at the BBC Music Awards.

We think you have found John Legend. Has he got a rider? Yes, we are

going to chat to John Legend. I'm going to doorstep him so let's see

how that goes. This is him. John? Hello. How are you? Angela, nice to

meet you. Welcome to my dressing room. It is quite plush, I like the

Moroccan rug. It's quite lonely in here, I needed a friend, thanks for

coming, Angela. Happy to be here. All set for tonight? I'm ready to

perform my new single, from my new album. Is there a little medley? I

might sneak something else in there. I heard your sound check and it made

me weep in a good way. It was quite wonderful. We have heard rumours

that may be... You're in a big movie which is not a rumour. La La Land.

Will we lose you do it? Are you going to go all Hollywood honours

are not sing any more? I'm going to be singing, trust me, it's never

going away. Good to know. What do we have here? You have the most

beautiful daughter. Is she musical? I can't tell yet but she makes a lot

of noise. That is a start. We got terrible gift. It is a Luna. For my

baby girl, Luna. I hope she likes it. Thank you. If you don't get time

to stop at duty free, that is the gift. Merry Christmas, Luna. This is

it for you this year. Lovely to see you, chill out and rest before your

performance. Craig David. Adam Lambert, remember him? Craig David,

all the way. Great? Hello! Hello! How are you? Good, how are you?

Comment. Another Moroccan rug, I like how each of you has slightly

different decoration in your dressing room. Is it different in

the others? Yes but equally plush. I like the lemons. Is this

preparation? A bit of water, kettle, the simple things. And brownies in a

little pot? They came in, just the little chestnut, you have do have a

couple, just in case. Things all right with you? Yes but let's talk

about you, you are back with a bang and there's a lot of excitement and

a lot of love for Craig David. It's going to wicked. When we did the

rehearsal today, playing a bit of a throwback track going into Ain't

Giving Up, which we are performing tonight, people were getting lively

and everyone was getting ready for the rehearsal. With an arena tour in

the line-up, it is wicked. Well, we have got a little present for you.

It is a calendar, a Countryfile calendar with lots of delightful

animals and I have put my birthday in there, 29th of December, all the

important dates. Another little chestnut. Happy Christmas. Nothing

has changed, that is the thing. Work hard, play hard, chill on Sunday.

Chill on Sunday and have a wonderful performance. The show is on at

8:30pm. Enjoy it. Thank you so much. APPLAUSE

I'm so pleased he got the calendar! He's genuinely chuffed. He will know

what he's doing every day. Perfect. That is all we have got time for the

night. Thanks to Lee and to Lewis. Tomorrow Jamie Oliver will be

here, along with a live Have a lovely evening. Good night.

I'm going to put a lock on the fire!
