:00:23. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to The One Show - the second in our series
:00:26. > :00:33.of three shows for the build-up to the Commonwealth Games.
:00:34. > :00:41.First thing this morning, Alex Jones was out jogging. Off I went along
:00:42. > :00:45.the banks of the River Clyde and I bumped into the Australian team. I
:00:46. > :00:52.felt inadequate so I went back to the hotel, but I tried. Who knows
:00:53. > :01:01.where you will get tomorrow. Everyone is inspired by the games. A
:01:02. > :01:06.festival vibe. Here we are at the Quay, a pop-up festival which is
:01:07. > :01:16.free. Every festival needs headlining acts. How about these?
:01:17. > :01:22.# Well # You make me want to shout...
:01:23. > :01:31.# Don't you for get about me. # Don't, don't, don't, don't.
:01:32. > :01:54.# Don't you forget about me. We are joined by Lulu, Jim from
:01:55. > :02:03.simple minds and as a lovely added bonus, Clare Balding too. All day
:02:04. > :02:13.long I was there, what did you think of that mash up? Very impressive.
:02:14. > :02:16.Clare, your part in the Commonwealth Games is huge. Part of the
:02:17. > :02:22.presenting team. You have got your Bible. This is my homework, a great
:02:23. > :02:29.read every night. I sit down and I think, what I am going to learn
:02:30. > :02:41.today? How many highlighters have you been through? Eight. Here you
:02:42. > :02:50.go. Thanks, I love stationery. A random fact? Artistic gymnastics,
:02:51. > :02:59.the oldest ever Australian competitor, she is 25! There is
:03:00. > :03:06.stuff on all of the different nations and territories. It's great.
:03:07. > :03:11.We have been doing a bit of sorting up. Here we go.
:03:12. > :03:16.The Commonwealth Games started in 1930, with 11 nations competing.
:03:17. > :03:23.Since then, more and more teams have joined from around the world to
:03:24. > :03:30.compete in cities from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne to Delhi, and now over
:03:31. > :03:34.4,500 athletes will be going for gold right here in Glasgow.
:03:35. > :03:44.Who could forget the dramas of Delhi? We have to thank all of you
:03:45. > :03:48.who have sent in photographs of your connections to the Commonwealth
:03:49. > :03:55.Games. The aim was to get a photo from all 19 Commonwealth Games that
:03:56. > :04:01.have been. We are doing all right. This is Angus from Helensburgh in
:04:02. > :04:04.Scotland. His wife Sarah says he is a forgotten hero of the games
:04:05. > :04:11.because he won a bronze medal in the Brisbane games of 1982. That is the
:04:12. > :04:13.type of thing we want. We remember Angus tonight. We will do our best
:04:14. > :04:19.to get all 19. Not just hosting the
:04:20. > :04:23.Commonwealth Games but also On Day 2
:04:24. > :04:27.of his referendum road trip, here's Joe Crowley, and he's travelling
:04:28. > :04:43.from Glasgow to Edinburgh. to people working in the arts
:04:44. > :04:48.industry, to find out how they think change could affect them. Alan is a
:04:49. > :04:53.writer and novelist who is pro-independence. Rod Jones is a
:04:54. > :04:59.member of the band Idlewild and see says he will vote no. I am as
:05:00. > :05:03.dissatisfied as the next creative person but I feel we should stay a
:05:04. > :05:10.part of the solution. People in England and Scotland are not
:05:11. > :05:15.different... We have a lot in common. England, Wales, places like
:05:16. > :05:21.that. I can't see how any of those relationships will be different. We
:05:22. > :05:26.have responsible T as part of the UK to help everybody else, to effect
:05:27. > :05:30.change and make it a better country for everybody. It is not like your
:05:31. > :05:39.granny is going to phone you up and say, you voted yes, I don't love you
:05:40. > :05:43.any more. From Glasgow, the final leg of my journey takes me to the
:05:44. > :05:49.economic powerhouse of Scotland. Edinburgh is home to a large part of
:05:50. > :05:53.the financial services industry. I will be voting no on September the
:05:54. > :05:58.18th because I believe we can have the best of both worlds. As a
:05:59. > :06:01.business owner in Edinburgh that is really important. Having a home
:06:02. > :06:07.market of 65 million customers I can freely trade with, not worrying
:06:08. > :06:11.about currency exchange rates, different tax systems, is incredibly
:06:12. > :06:16.important. Particularly at a time when we should be making it easier
:06:17. > :06:21.to do business, not harder. I am going to be voting yes in September.
:06:22. > :06:26.If you look at the most successful countries in the world, they tend to
:06:27. > :06:31.be small, democratic, highly skilled countries. Almost exactly like
:06:32. > :06:36.Scotland. Who have got control over their resources and decision-making.
:06:37. > :06:40.The Scottish people face a very important decision. An impassioned
:06:41. > :06:43.debate is taking place across the land. Ultimately, whatever the
:06:44. > :06:54.outcome, the future of the United Kingdom will be down to the people
:06:55. > :06:58.of Scotland. A yes man? A no man! I am not convinced it is the right
:06:59. > :07:02.thing for us. I think it is time Scotland were brave and took a stop
:07:03. > :07:09.forward themselves and govern their own destiny. -- a step forward. I
:07:10. > :07:13.don't see any problem with the way the union is at the moment. I
:07:14. > :07:18.believe the people of Scotland should have the right to make their
:07:19. > :07:22.own decisions, not decisions made by the establishment in London. It has
:07:23. > :07:25.been really encouraging to see how many people are engaged by this
:07:26. > :07:30.referendum, they are excited, they want to have a say. There are still
:07:31. > :07:34.plenty of people out there who feel politics doesn't make any
:07:35. > :07:38.difference. It will be whichever side that can win most of those
:07:39. > :07:39.people across which will determine whether Scotland becomes independent
:07:40. > :07:52.or not. Angelica has one of the best
:07:53. > :07:57.microphones I have ever seen. I'm here with Marc Sherland
:07:58. > :07:59.and Grace Campbell. They each have a very different
:08:00. > :08:01.message about the referendum. First up, Marc,
:08:02. > :08:10.who supports Better Together. Nature deems us one mass
:08:11. > :08:12.fabulous real estate. From John o'Groats
:08:13. > :08:15.to Lands-never-end. My tartan has rainbow threads.
:08:16. > :08:18.Heart leaps in highlands, flatlands. Lochs and lakes,
:08:19. > :08:20.not locks and gates. I love the handshake,
:08:21. > :08:22.not the Glesga kiss. Proud, wha's like us,
:08:23. > :08:24.but who see the big picture. Born here, or far off,
:08:25. > :08:27.corrie or ham fisted. My tartan has rainbow threads.
:08:28. > :08:31.Heart leaps in highlands, flatlands. Jock Tamson's bairns, better
:08:32. > :08:35.together, blessed and united. A unique way of expressing yourself,
:08:36. > :08:51.using poetry. And now speaking up for Yes
:08:52. > :08:53.Scotland, it's Grace Campbell, an In the end, it is not about nations,
:08:54. > :08:58.just a world less weighted Not a severing of what exists,
:08:59. > :09:01.but creating what does not. In the end,
:09:02. > :09:04.something fairer is all we ask of Start again and say what you want to
:09:05. > :09:14.say. In the end, between the warring
:09:15. > :09:20.voices a mute parenthesis remains. In the end, it is not about nations,
:09:21. > :09:23.just a world less weighted Not a severing of what exists,
:09:24. > :09:27.but creating what does not. In the end,
:09:28. > :09:29.something fairer is all we ask of In the end, between the warring
:09:30. > :09:33.voices a mute parenthesis remains. None will know
:09:34. > :09:53.unless they brave that leap that is Two effective pieces. Lulu, as a
:09:54. > :09:59.Scottish girl you won't get to vote because you live in London. Would
:10:00. > :10:05.people outside Scotland like to have a say? A lot of people who don't
:10:06. > :10:10.live in Scotland are upset. They have vocalised that quite loudly.
:10:11. > :10:17.Moving on to talk about your music, Jim, 30 years ago it was pretty much
:10:18. > :10:24.this area that inspired the song Waterfront. It was. What was it like
:10:25. > :10:27.this area that inspired the song back then? It was a beautiful
:10:28. > :10:29.this area that inspired the song like this, it is always like this in
:10:30. > :10:34.Glasgow! It really was, it was a night like this. If you go back 30
:10:35. > :10:35.Glasgow! It really was, it was a years, Glasgow is
:10:36. > :10:40.Glasgow! It really was, it was a reinvent itself, even currently with
:10:41. > :10:46.the games, people will see another reinvention of Glasgow. Being a
:10:47. > :10:51.Glaswegian, it's very exciting. At that time, this whole area was
:10:52. > :10:56.unrecognisable. Probably safe to say it was on its knees. However, on a
:10:57. > :11:01.night like this, seeing the river flowing and all that, a great
:11:02. > :11:06.feeling of hope still for the city. We were writing a song for the time,
:11:07. > :11:11.Derek, our bass player, had come up with a melody that day, and the
:11:12. > :11:15.words came and the song was Waterfront. It's great that wherever
:11:16. > :11:23.we go in the world, it is a song that gets the audience up and going.
:11:24. > :11:41.So much so, you have re-recorded it for your new DVD, at the Hydro
:11:42. > :11:42.# Move on up to the waterfront. # Walk on up to the waterfront.
:11:43. > :11:53.APPLAUSE The DVD and album is out on Monday.
:11:54. > :12:00.Lulu, you are involved in the festivities running up to the games.
:12:01. > :12:05.I have a gig at Glasgow Green tomorrow night. Come on down. The
:12:06. > :12:15.weather is going to be like this. We are going to rock out. They tell us
:12:16. > :12:24.that the Glasgow audience are quite hard to please. They are very fussy
:12:25. > :12:31.but they have very good taste. Is it right about Frank Sinatra? Yes! Did
:12:32. > :12:38.they throw tomatoes at Frank Sinatra? Did you? Frank Sinatra came
:12:39. > :12:43.to Glasgow, to the Empire and they booed him?
:12:44. > :12:50.to Glasgow, to the Empire and they booed Nobody believes it. It will
:12:51. > :12:59.not happen to you two. They do say, if the Glasgow audience loves you,
:13:00. > :13:03.you can make it anywhere. Jim, you are going to be playing a little
:13:04. > :13:07.something for us at the end of the programme which we are very much
:13:08. > :13:11.looking forward to. Speaking of excitement, how excited were you
:13:12. > :13:16.first thing this morning when you realised about your pinger? This is
:13:17. > :13:23.the last outing of the pinger for a little while. Ready? There she is!
:13:24. > :13:31.One day to go until the start of the Commonwealth Games. It has been a
:13:32. > :13:35.long pinger session. Here is Iwan with the story of a sprinter who has
:13:36. > :13:36.had to put his whole life back on track to even think about competing
:13:37. > :13:47.in Glasgow. In 1998, I won gold in the 400
:13:48. > :13:54.metres at the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. This year in Glasgow,
:13:55. > :13:59.Hodgson will be representing Belize at my distance. The fact he is even
:14:00. > :14:03.competing is amazing. His passion has taken him on a journey which is
:14:04. > :14:07.far from plain sailing. Less than five years ago, he was homeless and
:14:08. > :14:12.living rough on the streets of London. Today, he still lives in
:14:13. > :14:17.London but he uses the streets where he once slept as a training ground.
:14:18. > :14:21.I find it amazing to meet you and think that you used to live over
:14:22. > :14:27.there, your first night rough was on those steps. How did life come to
:14:28. > :14:32.that? I had been living in Croydon with my partner. I popped out to the
:14:33. > :14:36.shop one day and some drug addicts broke into my flat and assaulted my
:14:37. > :14:41.partner. We went to the police but because there were no witnesses,
:14:42. > :14:45.they advised us it was not safe to go back there. He and his partner
:14:46. > :14:48.had no choice but to leave. They struggled to find another place
:14:49. > :14:54.where they could live together safely and ended up sleeping rough.
:14:55. > :14:58.Being in a city like London, because it is so big, you don't know if you
:14:59. > :15:04.are going to be safe. Being a spoilt kid, I would phone my mum, my dad,
:15:05. > :15:09.my friends, but you felt pretty much alone in this situation? I phoned my
:15:10. > :15:14.mum and we had an argument, I decided I didn't want to go home
:15:15. > :15:21.until I had made something of myself and made her proud. He was born in
:15:22. > :15:25.Belize in Central America. Together with his two sisters, he was adopted
:15:26. > :15:31.by British parents at just four and moved to Scotland. He was a very
:15:32. > :15:39.loving little boy. Just wanted to be loved. And looked after. By the age
:15:40. > :15:43.of seven, he was already the champion of his local running club
:15:44. > :15:49.in Helensburgh. At 14, he was breaking school records. He had to
:15:50. > :15:55.be a winner, even in nursery he was a winner. First prize for everything
:15:56. > :15:59.in sport. This inner drive saw him get himself off the streets. He was
:16:00. > :16:03.determined to turn his life around and saw selling the bid is you as
:16:04. > :16:11.his way to do it. Familiar pavements? -- the big issue.
:16:12. > :16:15.Definitely, this is where I used to sell the big issue. I got my
:16:16. > :16:18.magazines. When you are running, you don't think about anything else
:16:19. > :16:24.about the end goal, where you are trying to get to. I have always done
:16:25. > :16:29.that. After two years on the street and on friends' couches, he was
:16:30. > :16:33.given an opportunity in a city law firm through a big issue pacemen
:16:34. > :16:34.scheme. It was only a matter of time before he secured himself
:16:35. > :16:38.scheme. It was only a matter of time a permanent position in the billing
:16:39. > :16:40.department. scheme. It was only a matter of time
:16:41. > :16:45.a permanent position in the -- basement scheme. He was put forward
:16:46. > :16:51.to carry the Olympic torch in 2012. Then he received a surprise call
:16:52. > :16:55.from his home country. He was young, his story was fantastic, we wanted
:16:56. > :17:01.to encourage him to compete in the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Two
:17:02. > :17:04.years on, now single, he is balancing the demands of a job in
:17:05. > :17:10.the city with regular training for the Commonwealth Games. He has since
:17:11. > :17:14.been reunited with his mother, and for her, seeing him back in Scotland
:17:15. > :17:18.competing in the Commonwealth Games will be a hugely proud moment. No
:17:19. > :17:20.matter what has happened in his life, or not happen,
:17:21. > :17:25.matter what has happened in his life, or I have always been proud of
:17:26. > :17:30.him and he knows that. It has been a pleasure. Massive good luck at the
:17:31. > :17:33.Commonwealth Games. Win it, but don't run too quickly because I hold
:17:34. > :17:47.the record, all right? He is pretty quick! Claire, you love a good story
:17:48. > :17:49.of an athlete. You are part of the coverage, BBC's Commonwealth Games,
:17:50. > :17:53.here you are lining one the rest of the team at the end of the pool. So
:17:54. > :18:01.when can we see you and what will you be doing? I am doing the
:18:02. > :18:05.swimming. The evening sessions which start on day two. I will be doing it
:18:06. > :18:11.with Mark Chapman, we have a studio in the front. We have a problem
:18:12. > :18:16.there Claire. We have a studio with a live band. It is going to be
:18:17. > :18:21.great. There you go. I think we got that A studio with a live band.
:18:22. > :18:27.Highlights programme, swimming. We know you love a highlighter, in
:18:28. > :18:31.Sochi a trolley became your new best friend It did. It got its own
:18:32. > :18:36.Twitter can't and everything. Matthew Pinsent suggested we have
:18:37. > :18:40.one here and call it is Scochi trolley. Very good. Is there
:18:41. > :18:49.anything that has come in obvious as the new thing for the Commonwealth
:18:50. > :18:55.Games? Something with tartan I am impressed with the little collides,
:18:56. > :19:02.the thistle who is not prickly. We have to talk about the Clyde ciders.
:19:03. > :19:05.I love them. London 2012 was about Games Makers, helping out and
:19:06. > :19:10.volunteering This is the extraordinary thing, and I think it
:19:11. > :19:14.is a roll on effect from the success of London 2012, all of us feeling
:19:15. > :19:16.more confident about our ability to stage something, the volunteers made
:19:17. > :19:22.that Olympic Games and the Clyde cider also do the same for the
:19:23. > :19:26.Commonwealth Games, and they needed, 5,000 volunteers that were needed,
:19:27. > :19:31.50,000 applied. It was just, amazing. I met a student this
:19:32. > :19:35.morning who missed out on been a Clydesider but was volunteering to
:19:36. > :19:39.help work at the BBC, she was enjoying that. BBC will take free
:19:40. > :19:44.work when they can get it. Free labour. Brilliant. Why would you say
:19:45. > :19:49.the Commonwealth Games are unique, there are some that don't feature in
:19:50. > :19:54.the Olympics You get events like squash and Nick Matthews will carry
:19:55. > :19:59.the flag for England but you Binyamin Netanyahu ball. I am
:20:00. > :20:03.excited about, in so many place netball in school, this is their
:20:04. > :20:07.chance to shine and be on the national stage. Squash, NASA great
:20:08. > :20:12.TV sport and you hardly ever see it. -- that is a great TV sport. Lawn
:20:13. > :20:17.bowls, you like that. It is like the curling of the games. We saw you
:20:18. > :20:21.with Chad Le Clos's dad, which was a brilliant moment, so, who are you
:20:22. > :20:28.looking forward to meeting from a parents' point of view? Burt. I
:20:29. > :20:33.would like to meet Chad's mum. I think Chad's dad has had a of, you
:20:34. > :20:36.know, a lot of attention, he has done three adverts since he went
:20:37. > :20:41.back to South Africa. Has he really? Unbelievable. Look at my boy, my
:20:42. > :20:43.beautiful boy, unbelievable. I know you want to see him again.
:20:44. > :20:44.beautiful boy, unbelievable. I know Everyone's parents and brothers and
:20:45. > :20:50.sister, I love that. That is a Everyone's parents and brothers and
:20:51. > :20:53.record from a parents' perspective. The athletes are going for
:20:54. > :20:57.individual records. One has broken one, if he turns up. David Calvert
:20:58. > :21:03.is a shooter from Northern Ireland, and this will be his tenth
:21:04. > :21:07.consecutive Commonwealth Games. 40 years. Of course, there are other
:21:08. > :21:13.shooters competing, Iwan has been back on the road to meet a family
:21:14. > :21:14.who have had their sights set on the Commonwealth Games 2014 for some
:21:15. > :21:27.years. Many families have a competitive
:21:28. > :21:30.streak, especially when playing games.
:21:31. > :21:34.But one family involved in this year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
:21:35. > :21:40.have taken competition to a whole new level.
:21:41. > :21:45.The McIntosh family have rifle shooting in their blood. Mum has
:21:46. > :21:49.four medals. Dad is the Scottish team manager, and daughter's
:21:50. > :21:53.Jennifer and Seonaid compete at international level. So what happens
:21:54. > :21:57.when you play games at home? Who tends to win? As a family we stopped
:21:58. > :22:01.playing games when the kids were small because it descended into
:22:02. > :22:07.argument. So avoid all games. Even monopoly. Especially monopoly!
:22:08. > :22:10.Especially monopoly. The McIntoshes are an ordinary family but with
:22:11. > :22:22.extraordinary skills, they often practise here at the rifle range at
:22:23. > :22:25.Edinburgh's Meadowbank stadium. 2010 at the Commonwealth Gameses in
:22:26. > :22:32.deli I won three medals. Two golds and a bronze. This year I am hoping
:22:33. > :22:38.to win a few more. I will compete in three vents so hopefully three
:22:39. > :22:43.medals from that. I hear you have had good news. Tell
:22:44. > :22:46.me about it I have been selected to shoot for Team Scotland at the
:22:47. > :22:55.Commonwealth Games this year. It is really exciting.
:22:56. > :22:59.When did the girls show an inkling for getting involved? Jennifer has
:23:00. > :23:05.from a fairly young age, she has memories of her mum coming back from
:23:06. > :23:09.Victoria Commonwealth Games in 94 and she started young. Seonaid kept
:23:10. > :23:18.away from it but she has swung to shooting. She is just as committed.
:23:19. > :23:21.Shirley is one of the most successful woman shooters everything
:23:22. > :23:24.in the UK. How are you feeling about the
:23:25. > :23:29.summer? How confident you for the girls? It is a very strange feeling.
