0:00:18 > 0:00:21Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24And Michelle Ackerley.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26It's Wednesday which means Alex and her team of incredible mums
0:00:26 > 0:00:34are over halfway through the Mother of All Challenges for Sport Relief.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37They must already be looking forward to a showstopping finale on Friday.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And we know the man who could write them one.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42He is - quite simply - the most-successful British
0:00:42 > 0:00:47songwriter of all time.
0:00:47 > 0:00:56# It's so easy to leave me # Don't cry for me Argentina
0:00:56 > 0:01:11# The truth is, I never left you # The Phantom of the Opera is now
0:01:11 > 0:01:21# Your mastermind #
0:01:21 > 0:01:24Amazing coloured coat #.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28APPLAUSE
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Please welcome Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Your fans are in tonight.Fantastic
0:01:36 > 0:01:42reception. Lovely to have you here, and are you. We will talk a lot
0:01:42 > 0:01:51about your memoir. You have joined joined when we have lost two of our
0:01:51 > 0:01:56greats, Jeremy Bowen and Stephen Hawking. You must have met him?I
0:01:56 > 0:02:00met him a couple of times at parties. The only conversation I had
0:02:00 > 0:02:04with him was because music, thank goodness, not sure I would have
0:02:04 > 0:02:12understood anything else.What is his taste of musicA wide taste in
0:02:12 > 0:02:18classical music, the Mozart requiem. Which I share with imhad. I'm one of
0:02:18 > 0:02:23these people who can't understand the concept of infinity.It's a
0:02:23 > 0:02:28tough one that.I'm hopeless when it comes to understanding anything he
0:02:28 > 0:02:35was talking about.We were happy he was there to stand.Extraordinary.
0:02:35 > 0:02:41Amazing person. Very engaging when we talked.Talking of talking and
0:02:41 > 0:02:44words here are inspiring words from the man who unlocked the secrets of
0:02:44 > 0:02:51our universe.Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what
0:02:51 > 0:02:57makes the universe exist. Be curious.Without imperfection you or
0:02:57 > 0:03:02I would not exist.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I'm not afraid of death, I'm not in a hurry to die, I've so much I want
0:03:07 > 0:03:12to do first.Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose
0:03:12 > 0:03:21and life is empty without it.It has been a glorious time to be alive.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance it's the illusion of
0:03:26 > 0:03:32knowledge.People who boost about their IQ are losers.Life would be
0:03:32 > 0:03:39tragic if it weren't funny.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43tragic if it weren't funny.So remember to look up at the stars and
0:03:43 > 0:03:48not down at your feet. Thank you to the Science Museum and the
0:03:48 > 0:03:54University College London. We are joined by the BBC's science
0:03:54 > 0:04:00correspondent, Pallab Ghosh. You met him many times?I got to know him
0:04:00 > 0:04:04well. I have known him for 20 years. It's a sad day. I remember the first
0:04:04 > 0:04:08time I met him. He was my Oied idol. You can imagine how nervous I was
0:04:08 > 0:04:12when I came to meet him. When he arrived, he smiled at me and
0:04:12 > 0:04:15immediately put me at my ease. I think that's one of the reasons why
0:04:15 > 0:04:19people have taken to him so much. He was basically a really nice bloke.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25That was the thing that came across. For all his kind of complex
0:04:25 > 0:04:29intellectual ideas, he had a wonderful charisma, warmth and
0:04:29 > 0:04:32humanitarian. That is what I remembered about him.That's lovely
0:04:32 > 0:04:37to hear. We all know of him as an incredible scientists. Just how
0:04:37 > 0:04:41important is his legacy, in terms of inspiring people inWell, he said
0:04:41 > 0:04:50that when he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease that was when
0:04:50 > 0:04:53he kicked off. He wasn't that interested in his work. It was all
0:04:53 > 0:04:56too easy. He decided then that everything else was going to be a
0:04:56 > 0:05:01bonus. Look at what he achieved. The frontiers of science. The most
0:05:01 > 0:05:04famous scientists in the world whole. If he could do that with that
0:05:04 > 0:05:08disability, what could the rest of us do. Another word that is often
0:05:08 > 0:05:12used with Stephen Hawking is "inspiration." Anyone that came
0:05:12 > 0:05:17close to him and saw what he did could not fail to be inspired.We
0:05:17 > 0:05:22heard him saying, life would be tragic if it wasn't funny. This was
0:05:22 > 0:05:26something else, great wit and humour that crossed generations, didn't it?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31He played a joke on me that very first time I met him. We were
0:05:31 > 0:05:34filming an interview and the cameraman wanted to change the
0:05:34 > 0:05:39lighting he said - is it all right if I unplugged this. He did. All
0:05:39 > 0:05:46these sirens went off. We thought, we've plugged something crucial to
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Professor Hawking's wellbeing. He slumped over. It turned out he was
0:05:50 > 0:05:55laughing at our incompetence. He was a huge joker.On that point, Andrew.
0:05:55 > 0:06:02We knew you did a clip for Comic Relief.Yes.Were you auditioning to
0:06:02 > 0:06:09be Stephen's voice. Look at this. Time to find my new voice.Stephen,
0:06:09 > 0:06:14listen to my voice. It's deep, it's sexy. It's got a tinge of...
0:06:14 > 0:06:22Physics.I'm the obvious choice. I'm intelligent, kind of, and I'm young
0:06:22 > 0:06:26and cool. Kind of.Frankly, I think your life is so important that it
0:06:26 > 0:06:31ought to be a musical. I'm thinkingful something like K
0:06:31 > 0:06:37everybody's Hawk hawk. A really, really big show.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41# Memory, you have photographic memory... #
0:06:41 > 0:06:48Not a chance! APPLAUSE
0:06:53 > 0:07:00Everybody's Hawking.Terrible.We are thinking of all of Stephen's
0:07:00 > 0:07:02friends and family today.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04We're moving on now to something we've talked
0:07:04 > 0:07:06about many times on the show - single-use plastic.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Because in yesterday's Spring Statement, the Chancellor
0:07:08 > 0:07:14called for a consultation on a potential plastic tax.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's the kind of co-ordinated action that supermarkets,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18recycling companies and councils have all been calling for.
0:07:18 > 0:07:25But where do the people who actually make the plastic stand?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28We've been kind of demonised as producers of this poison that is
0:07:28 > 0:07:32killing the country.It seems to be almost like a panic at the moment.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37These people all work in an industry that almost overnight has become
0:07:37 > 0:07:42socially unacceptable.I can't watch the TV. I can't tell my friends who
0:07:42 > 0:07:46I work for. It can be pretty embarrassing at times.This
0:07:46 > 0:07:52family-run company has been making plastic for almost 70 years and now
0:07:52 > 0:07:57produces 100 million single-use plastic tumblers every year. I don't
0:07:57 > 0:08:02think it's the enemy. It's the way that certain people misuse them. The
0:08:02 > 0:08:06salesman manager John Reeves contacted the One Show to defend the
0:08:06 > 0:08:11industry. I'm here at his factory to hear his argument that plastic need
0:08:11 > 0:08:19not be the environmental scourge that some say it is.
0:08:19 > 0:08:24One of the core products we have is the flexi glass. We can make a
0:08:24 > 0:08:30million of these glasses a day.May I?Yes.This is disposable.Yes.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35Designed to be used one time only. Yeah.How is that defensivable given
0:08:35 > 0:08:40everything we know about plastic pollution.These are used at many,
0:08:40 > 0:08:44many different occasions. At sporting events, music festivals.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47The reason it's used is that it's absolutely fit for purpose and it
0:08:47 > 0:08:51doesn't present any danger to any member of the public.Why not use a
0:08:51 > 0:08:55paper cup?The difficulty with a paper cup is you are left with the
0:08:55 > 0:08:59same problem. A paper cup typically has a plastic interior which means
0:08:59 > 0:09:06the product is difficult to recycle. They know their market but it
0:09:06 > 0:09:12understand it is has a responsibility to ensure the cups it
0:09:12 > 0:09:16manufacturers doesn't end up in landfill.We can get the cups back
0:09:16 > 0:09:21and recycle them and reuse the material again. We work at large
0:09:21 > 0:09:26scale music events, festivals and sporting arenas am we are designing
0:09:26 > 0:09:29recollection centres and recycling centres that can go on the concourse
0:09:29 > 0:09:33of these grounds. We are scooping the glasses up at the end of the
0:09:33 > 0:09:36events, bringing them back, reprocessing them, remanufacturing
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and making the product into something that can be useful. Our
0:09:39 > 0:09:44ultimate goal is to take the cup, use it, it comes back here and we
0:09:44 > 0:09:48make it back into a cup.This is what is called closed loop
0:09:48 > 0:09:54recycling. Reprocessing used plastic and remanufacturing it into other
0:09:54 > 0:10:00products. Although the company can't yet do that itself, it recently
0:10:00 > 0:10:07started working with HAHN Plastics in Manchester.We manufacturer
0:10:07 > 0:10:11outdoor furniture, decking boards, bollards, retaining wall structures,
0:10:11 > 0:10:17and all of them are made from 100% recyclable plastic. If we use
0:10:17 > 0:10:22plastic cups as an example, it would typically take 22,000 to make a
0:10:22 > 0:10:28garden bench and 48,000 to make a typical picnic table.But not all
0:10:28 > 0:10:33manufacturers are reusing plastic in this way and recycling companies
0:10:33 > 0:10:37believe the government should be putting regulations in place to make
0:10:37 > 0:10:42this happen.The important thing to remember with plastic recycling is
0:10:42 > 0:10:47everyone has a part to play. You and I go into the supermarket and buy a
0:10:47 > 0:10:55shampoo bottle off the shelve and put the bottle in the bin. We supply
0:10:55 > 0:11:04it to a client to
0:11:04 > 0:11:07it to a client to produce another item. We need to get it right from
0:11:07 > 0:11:11the start and retailers and consumer brands are designing products for
0:11:11 > 0:11:14repsychability. We should be saying, if you are a consumer brand or
0:11:14 > 0:11:21retailer and you want to do business in this country, you must include a
0:11:21 > 0:11:25minimum amount of row sighable material in your packaging. It's a
0:11:25 > 0:11:29resource, not rubbish. We want to keep it off our beaches and oceans
0:11:29 > 0:11:32and put it back in the British economy where it belongs.The
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Government will be work with the plastics industry to reform
0:11:37 > 0:11:39regulations and incentivise producers to take greater
0:11:39 > 0:11:43responsibility for the environmental impact of their products. Back on
0:11:43 > 0:11:48the factory floor, John is keen to show me the finished product. Here
0:11:48 > 0:11:51they come, the end of the line he with say it's the end of the line.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54You don't want it to be the end of the line?This is the start of the
0:11:54 > 0:11:58line, really. We want to make sure we can get as many of these cups, if
0:11:58 > 0:12:01not all of these cups back, and get them back into the recycling
0:12:01 > 0:12:07programme.This could potentially be big news for all of us as this type
0:12:07 > 0:12:10of low grade single-use plastic is one of the most difficult to find a
0:12:10 > 0:12:16market for. So I hope we get bins like this at major sporting events,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20concerts, festivals really soon.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Thank you Lucy. Next week we will look in more detail at how recycled
0:12:24 > 0:12:31plastic is being used to pave Britain's roads.Indeed. Andrew it's
0:12:31 > 0:12:38your 70th birthday next week and you had a business busy time, a new
0:12:38 > 0:12:44album and a memoir Unmasked. We know you as a prolific songwriter. Have
0:12:44 > 0:12:49you enjoyed the process of bright wroo writing a I used to memoir.Do
0:12:49 > 0:12:53the food reviews for the Daily Telegraph. Writing is something I've
0:12:53 > 0:12:59enjoyed doing. I can't write lyrics. I'm useless. You don't want to ask
0:12:59 > 0:13:05me about those.Don't go there.I enjoy writing pros.Did you think of
0:13:05 > 0:13:10doing a musical of your life?As I say in the introduction to the book,
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I'm the most boring person I've ever written about.Come on! Come on.I
0:13:14 > 0:13:20highly doubt that.You had an eccentric house.Yes.We have a
0:13:20 > 0:13:24picture of your auntie with a monkey on her shoulder. This is what you
0:13:24 > 0:13:31grew up -My auntie didn't live in the house. My father had a huge
0:13:31 > 0:13:37electronic organ. My mother took a shine to a pianist and much
0:13:37 > 0:13:43supported him. He often was in the house practicing away with loud
0:13:43 > 0:13:53music. My brother on the cello. I wonder what the neighbours thought.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57They must have gone mad. I was leaving the house with Tim Rice,
0:13:57 > 0:14:08Julian was playing away on his cello the guy lefrpd leapt out saying, I
0:14:08 > 0:14:19don't mind the organ or the piano but it obeo player I can't stand. I
0:14:19 > 0:14:24got into musicals. My Fair Lady came into town when I was nine years old.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30I saw My Fair Lady and West Side Story back-to-back. Two different
0:14:30 > 0:14:34musicals. I fell in love with them. With my aunt being in the theatre
0:14:34 > 0:14:38and me making glamorous people in the theatre who she knew, the whole
0:14:38 > 0:14:42thing just... It grabbed me at an early age. At a time when kids
0:14:42 > 0:14:47weren't into musicals at all. Is the thingThat, isn't itOne show on
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Saturday night which completely grabbed me. It was called Oh, boy,
0:14:52 > 0:15:01on ITV, shot by a guy who went on to direct the Rockfella. Filmed in the
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Hackney Empire. It was live. They used the theatre as if it was part
0:15:04 > 0:15:10of the set. When I was very young I thought of rock music as theatre.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15That put me apart from the others who were at that time doing The
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Boyfriend.Yes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:25And these days, if you don't own them, you work closely with those
0:15:25 > 0:15:29theatres you grew up in. That must be extraordinary now.The first
0:15:29 > 0:15:33theatre I went to to see anything was the London Palladium, that is
0:15:33 > 0:15:37one of ours. The first theatre I saw a musical was the Theatre Royal,
0:15:37 > 0:15:43Drury Lane, and that is one of ours! My great joy at the moment is we are
0:15:43 > 0:15:47going to refurbish and reconstruct the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. It
0:15:47 > 0:15:53closes in a year. That is
0:15:55 > 0:15:57closes in a year. That is going to be great fun, make it for today.You
0:15:57 > 0:15:59talk in your memoirs about stories that might have been, some leading
0:15:59 > 0:16:02ladies that didn't end up playing big roles, Judi Dench, Liza
0:16:02 > 0:16:08Minnelli.Judi Dench was going to play Grisabella in caps but she
0:16:08 > 0:16:13broke her Achilles tendon in rehearsals and people often as me
0:16:13 > 0:16:19what Memory would have been like if Judi had some good, and almost like
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Edith Pier Avenue, if it makes any sense. And Liza Minnelli, I have
0:16:23 > 0:16:28known her very wealthy years but she has never done anything of my but
0:16:28 > 0:16:32she did screen test for the movie of Evita. I didn't have any control but
0:16:32 > 0:16:36I remember it was rather weird, she had a blonde wig and didn't look
0:16:36 > 0:16:42great in a blonde wig. And then Bette Midler, we cast Jesus Christ
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Superstar and Robert Stig Wood, the producer, Castellet in New York with
0:16:46 > 0:16:52a lady from the original album -- Robert Stig would. We got a
0:16:52 > 0:16:55last-minute call from an agent who said you must go and see this girl
0:16:55 > 0:16:59who has been singing in a swimming baths in New York and I went at the
0:16:59 > 0:17:05last minute and she sang I Don't Know How To Love Him and it was to
0:17:05 > 0:17:11die for but we had cast by that time and it was not to be.The book is a
0:17:11 > 0:17:15brilliant memoir, it is all in there and it is quite a read, I must say.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19And while we are celebrating Lord Webber's achievements, we can't
0:17:19 > 0:17:25forget the hard work being done by Alex and her team of mums for Sport
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Relief.So far, they have swum through the freezing waters of Loch
0:17:28 > 0:17:34Ness, they have climbed one of the Lake District's highest peaks and
0:17:34 > 0:17:37the Mother of All Challenges, it is called for a reason.And it is stage
0:17:37 > 0:17:41three, time for them to get on their bikes.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45With two elements of our Mother of All Challenges in the bag, we are
0:17:45 > 0:17:49feeling tired and missing our loved ones.There is quite sombre feel
0:17:49 > 0:17:55this morning brawlers. We are all exhausted and missing home.I think
0:17:55 > 0:17:59he said mum for the first time over the weekend and I wasn't there to
0:17:59 > 0:18:05see it. So I am finding it really hard.Today, at that hour swim and
0:18:05 > 0:18:08hike, we have a long-distance cycle ride which will take us over three
0:18:08 > 0:18:13of the toughest passes in the Lakes, the Kirk Stone, the Hollister and
0:18:13 > 0:18:19the new lands. That is 7,000 feet of climb.The first one will be Kirk
0:18:19 > 0:18:24stone pass, it will be a really tough day.Your legs will be a bit
0:18:24 > 0:18:29ropey, hopefully they will holdout for the cycle today, especially for
0:18:29 > 0:18:33the big hills, which will be seriously hard.We are absolutely
0:18:33 > 0:18:38shattered but we can't put it off any longer. Debbie and I have been
0:18:38 > 0:18:42chosen to cycle the first leg.I think today is going to be
0:18:42 > 0:18:49ridiculously tough. And I have my lucky heart from my girl.I am
0:18:49 > 0:18:54scared of the big hills. It is a tough challenge for me and the Debs,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58who has suffered from depression in the past.I got to the stage where I
0:18:58 > 0:19:02couldn't leave the house with my two little girls, I was too scared.What
0:19:02 > 0:19:07was the Trigger for that?It was the trauma of Ed Leigh's birth, how'd
0:19:07 > 0:19:13you carry on, what are people thinking about me? And I thought, I
0:19:13 > 0:19:20have got to get some help here.And thank goodness I did. That is why
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Debbie, mall, Jodi and Leigh are here pushing themselves to raise
0:19:24 > 0:19:30awareness for other mums who may be going through other situations. And
0:19:30 > 0:19:36Debbie, up these hills, is really having to push herself.I can't...
0:19:36 > 0:19:42You can do it, Debs.You definitely can. Keep driving, great work.Think
0:19:42 > 0:19:50of the girls.I can't...It is really tough, but she doesn't give
0:19:50 > 0:19:59up. Even after miles of cycling. This is so hard.
0:20:00 > 0:20:08This is so hard.With little power left in her legs,... This mum does
0:20:08 > 0:20:17not surrender.That was truly remarkable. That is some of the
0:20:17 > 0:20:24bravest riding I have ever seen. That is inspirational for anybody.I
0:20:24 > 0:20:30am not pushing you!
0:20:31 > 0:20:35am not pushing you!Jodi, Leigh and Amal take on the next leg.If I
0:20:35 > 0:20:38think back to a year ago, I could barely get out of a chair. And it
0:20:38 > 0:20:42wasn't only for physical disability, I just wasn't motivated to move.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46This was an opportunity, a chance to move forward beyond all of the
0:20:46 > 0:20:51rubbish I went through, you know, into a new life.The flat stretch of
0:20:51 > 0:21:00road soon runs out.Oh, my guard! Are you kidding?The sheer gradient
0:21:00 > 0:21:09of the harnessed pass claims its casualty. -- of Coniston pass.You
0:21:09 > 0:21:16have got this, this is your challenge, Amal!And then the steep
0:21:16 > 0:21:23incline proves too much for the whole team.Go on, girly.This is
0:21:23 > 0:21:31brutal out here. The fact you have, this far is incredible.Through
0:21:31 > 0:21:37strain and injury, these mums ride onto the top of their last hill.My
0:21:37 > 0:21:46back.Don't look back.That is so much worse than I ever imagined.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52Absolutely brutal.We had all planned to join up again for the
0:21:52 > 0:21:56final leg but after 11 hours in the saddle and dark most roaring in, the
0:21:56 > 0:22:01decision was made to call it a day. They have had an incredible day,
0:22:01 > 0:22:05they have achieved a huge amount, climbing over 7,000 feet, some
0:22:05 > 0:22:09massive climbs throughout the day but they just couldn't finish off
0:22:09 > 0:22:13because of the safety aspect, and so I have taken them off the road. What
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I am really keen for them to do is to remember what they have achieved,
0:22:16 > 0:22:21something truly exceptional. APPLAUSE
0:22:21 > 0:22:28Very, very good effort. Tomorrow, Alex and the team will be
0:22:28 > 0:22:31caving in the Brecon Beacons.To support the Mother of All Challenges

0:23:05 > 0:23:10So, shall we have a little look and see how much you have all donated so
0:23:10 > 0:23:19far for this challenge? It is currently standing at...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22currently standing at... Thank you, one and all and well done mums, keep
0:23:22 > 0:23:27it up.Team mum! And before they started their challenge, Alex took
0:23:27 > 0:23:31two of the team over to Kenyi to receive your donations in action and
0:23:31 > 0:23:38here is the first report -- over to Kenya.Kenya's capital city,
0:23:38 > 0:23:43Nairobi. I have come to this district with Amal and Debbie. It is
0:23:43 > 0:23:48home to thousands of children. How cute!
0:23:48 > 0:23:56But delivering a child here is far from straightforward. Each year in
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Kenya, around 74,000 children die before their fifth birthday. In the
0:24:00 > 0:24:07UK, that figure is 3,000. For many families, this can be due to poor
0:24:07 > 0:24:10hygiene and sanitation. It is quite an assault on
0:24:10 > 0:24:15everything, the smell, the heat and the human sewerage that is running
0:24:15 > 0:24:20through this whole place. And, sadly, there is another reason.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Not enough women go to a hospital or clinic to have their babies.
0:24:23 > 0:24:30Hello, are you Jane? We have come to meet Jane. She has
0:24:30 > 0:24:33lived here her whole life.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42TRANSLATION: I gave birth at the home and after two months, my baby
0:24:42 > 0:24:49had rashes on its body and losing weight and vomiting and then my baby
0:24:49 > 0:24:54died.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00died.Jane, can I ask what your baby's name was? Speaker Margaret. A
0:25:00 > 0:25:08baby girl.Oh, beautiful. TRANSLATION: I think about her all
0:25:08 > 0:25:13the time.Talking to Jane brings back difficult memories for Debbie,
0:25:13 > 0:25:20who has miscarried twice and nearly lost her own child Ellie.It is
0:25:20 > 0:25:24almost like looking in the mirror, talking to her, but hers is a
0:25:24 > 0:25:30million times worse.It brings them home.They are precious the world
0:25:30 > 0:25:35over, kids are precious.The good news is that Jane is pregnant again
0:25:35 > 0:25:38and is getting help from community health worker Lorna, who encourages
0:25:38 > 0:25:45mums to receive care at the nearby Kibera health Centre, supported by
0:25:45 > 0:25:52Sport Relief donations. Through this project we visiting today, they are
0:25:52 > 0:25:56trying to do that, to educate these women and help them realise it is
0:25:56 > 0:26:00much safer for them to give birth in the clinic where they have
0:26:00 > 0:26:07professionals that can help. In this clinic, they do absolutely
0:26:07 > 0:26:12everything. Women come here to give birth, they do immunisations, they
0:26:12 > 0:26:15do postnatal care on the mothers. Without this establishment and the
0:26:15 > 0:26:19care and facilities they provide here, it would be a very different
0:26:19 > 0:26:23scenario for women and babies. Helen is the nurse in charge and
0:26:23 > 0:26:30helps to keep the centre running. How many women do you see on average
0:26:30 > 0:26:36every morning here, then?We see up to 40 children every day, those who
0:26:36 > 0:26:42come in for immunisations. Then we have those that come for growth. So
0:26:42 > 0:26:50sometimes 60 children.How many staff would serve 60 or so children?
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Two people, a nutritionist and a nurse.I get stressed if I have to
0:26:55 > 0:26:59see ten plus patients in a morning clinic. I cannot imagine having to
0:26:59 > 0:27:04get through 60 patients on my own. Every mother who comes here will be
0:27:04 > 0:27:06seen, regardless of the staffing ratios.
0:27:06 > 0:27:12But this clinic's work is not just about women. Men play an important
0:27:12 > 0:27:18role to. Having sadly lost two wives and four children, Lucas's job is to
0:27:18 > 0:27:24educate fathers and their families on natal care.I do educate men. If
0:27:24 > 0:27:30your wife is pregnant, she should go to clinic, she should take a
0:27:30 > 0:27:34balanced diet. We tell them about hygiene, boiling water, drinking
0:27:34 > 0:27:41water.Are you seeing a difference? Before, they are very bad but now,
0:27:41 > 0:27:45they catch up. This improved education of parents
0:27:45 > 0:27:50has helped mums like Jane, who is now able to visit the health centre
0:27:50 > 0:27:53with health worker Lorna, securing a better chance for a healthy future
0:27:53 > 0:28:00for her new baby. The clinic seems so busy and,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03obviously, the babies are very healthy and doing well. What sort of
0:28:03 > 0:28:09things would help you?New infrastructure and, of course,
0:28:09 > 0:28:14training, for health care workers. You need a few more Helens.When the
0:28:14 > 0:28:19mother smiles at me and says thank you, that is it, I am satisfied.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23No one should have to go through what Jane did and lose a baby.
0:28:23 > 0:28:29Projects like this one can help save lives.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34£10, just £10 will buy equipment to help newborn babies that are
0:28:34 > 0:28:38struggling to breathe.And £20 will help provide training for hero
0:28:38 > 0:28:41community health volunteers like Lorna to help keep mothers and
0:28:41 > 0:28:45babies safe.Honestly, your money will help so many mothers and so
0:28:45 > 0:28:50many babies in this area. Just donate what you can, thank you.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Thank you.And that is exactly what is driving them on that challenge,
0:28:55 > 0:28:58pushing themselves to the absolute limit so they can give opportunities
0:28:58 > 0:29:01to others. We will have more from Alexandre
0:29:01 > 0:29:09mums' visit to Kenya tomorrow.And that is it, thank you to our guest
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Andrew Lloyd Webber.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12His memoir Unmasked is out now.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16And Unmasked: The Platinum Collection - an album
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Angelica is back tomorrow and we will find out while Debbie McGee has
0:29:19 > 0:29:20swapped her
