the spanish grand prix, with sebastian vettel coming second. and the red carpet is ready, the stars are on their way, it can only be the tv baftas. i will be here live for the next few hours, hoping to top two stars ranging from benedict cumberbatch tojoan collins. 200,000 people in 150 countries — the scale of the cyber attack which hit the nhs on friday makes it the largest of its kind, the head of the eu's police agency has told the bbc. europol‘s director rob wainwright says computer disruption for ransom is an escalating threat. five nhs trusts remain affected by the cyber attack.
5:02 pm
there are fears that monday, for many the start of the working week, could reveal there are more victims. here's our technology correspondent, theo leggett. 0perations cancelled and appointments delayed — friday's cyber attack affected nhs organisations throughout england and scotland. systems at some hospitals like the royal london are still down. other patients have told me their operations have had to be cancelled, but i must say, i don't blame the staff in any way. it's not theirfault and i don't blame the it people. they are just fighting a battle that just goes on and on. the crisis may not be over. the head of europe's policing agency, europol, says there could be a new wave of infections when people return to work tomorrow morning, and he says the size of the attack is deeply disturbing. we've never seen anything like this, unprecedented in its scale. we are seeing over 200,000 victims in over 150 countries, so clearly a global phenomena.
5:03 pm
the government insists it takes cyber security seriously, and that includes providing the health service with the money it needs. we're spending around £50 million on the nhs cyber systems to improve their security. we have encouraged the nhs trusts to reduce their exposure to the weakest system, the windows xp, only less than 5% of the trusts use that system any more, and there is money available to strengthen these systems. labour claims the attack has demonstrated the consequence of chronic underfunding. we've seen huge investment cuts in the infrastructure of the nhs. in the last year, 1 billion taken out of infrastructure in order to plug wider gaps in the nhs. so what i'm saying today is a labour government will put 10 billion into the infrastructure needs of the nhs, and a big priority of that will go to investing in cyber security and upgrading it. most nhs trusts have now restored their critical systems
5:04 pm
but experts say this attack is unlikely to be the last and insist politicians will need to help the nhs build proper defences against new viruses, rather than just treating the symptoms of the latest infection. theo leggett, bbc news. let's get the latest from one of the nhs hospitals targeted in last friday's attack. 0ur correspondent, judith moritz, is outside york hospital. they were having a meeting earlier today when we last spoke to you. what has come out of that? what they have said to me in the last hour is they are hoping tomorrow morning will be back to normal, but there is a lot of fine tuning between departments because it will not be until tomorrow morning that all the staff comeback in and switched things on in their entirety. what they are asking people to do, outpatients, is to check before coming to hospital. the hope is
5:05 pm
appointments will be running as normal, but there could be some fine tuning between the different departments and it worth double—checking. the website is functioning fine and you can go online or phone up. they have been working around the clock to get things running because a third of the computers between this hospital at york and the sister hospital at scarborough, one third of the 6000 machines were affected. everyone of them has had to be re—examined and switched off and looked at individually. it is a slow process and some departments pathology and radiology on friday had to switch to manual working. they could not carry out breast screening, mri scanning was affected, and 30 operations were cancelled yesterday. but they are continuing to try to work to sort things out and buy tomorrow they hope things will be back to normal. rob wainwright from europol says he
5:06 pm
has some nervousness about tomorrow because for many it is the start of a working week. i appreciate in a hospital all the departments are open seven days a week, but on the administration side a lot of people will be switching on their computer for the first time since they left on friday. is the trust concerned about that? i asked that and they said absolutely, that is something they are very keen they have to deal with. start should not turn on their la ptop with. start should not turn on their laptop or pc until they are told it is safe to do so. they will know in advance if the machine is ok to be turned on or not. advice will be circulated and they will have it before they come in. they are aware of it. this weekend there were fewer staff members to deal with it, but there will be more tomorrow. i spoke to the chief executive and i said michael fallon has spoken to say
5:07 pm
that the nhs trusts were warned about this threat. did he feel they had been warned about it adequately? he said that was an easy sound bite. he said that was an easy sound bite. he said that was an easy sound bite. he said the board had met within the last couple of months to look exactly at this issue and they had been reassured they were doing the right thing. he said particularly the it department that had been working around the clock, they are battling against something that could happen any day, they knew that, but he said most of the systems will be back up and running. they have been doing it one ward, one department at a time, so not one area has suffered more than any other. they are switching pcs on piecemeal to check them all out to make sure they all have support. emmanuel macron has been sworn into office as president of france a week after his decisive election victory. mr macron has promised to shake up the political order and revive the economy. he said france had to find answers to the great crises of our time. 0ur paris correspondent hugh schofield was watching.
5:08 pm
0n the big occasions, france knows how to roll out the pomp. this morning at the elysee palace all of the display and colour of an old, proud nation was put to effect as the youngest ever president arrived to take the helm of state. all the great and the good of france were there, and emmanuel macron's family, led by his wife, brigitte, who preceded her husband on the red carpet by a few minutes. it was his former boss, francois hollande, who greeted emmanuel macron. just eight months ago, he was one of hollande's ministers. then the two men secluded themselves for an hour, nuclear codes and other secrets were being passed on. then the old president was gone, and the new one bounded up the stairs of the palace with the youthful energy he clearly wants to be his hallmark. inside, the results of the election were officially read out and mr macron was inducted, as all presidents are, as grand
5:09 pm
master of the legion of honour. looking on, his wife, brigitte, who looks set to play a key role now in the presidency. then came president macron's first words to the nation, a promise to give back to france its confidence and its pride. translation: i will convince our citizens that the power of france is not declining, that we are on the edge of a great renaissance, because in our hands we have all the assets which make and will make the great powers of the 21st century. from there, it was his first public appearance as president, driven up the champs—elysees to the arc de triomphe. it's been a day of ceremony and ritual and ringing rhetoric, images and impressions which show to the french the importance of this moment, sacramental handing on of power to their new, youthful leader. but, as the ceremony ends, the work begins.
5:10 pm
president macron has promised france a renaissance, a big word and a big task. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. let's see what he is up to at the moment. he is with his wife and he has been meeting the mayor of paris. that is the lady with the dark haired to the left of his shoulder. he is now meeting various dignitaries in paris, the leading is of the various political groupings, the mayers of the different districts of paris. he is also meeting ambassadors and religious leaders and everybody wants to shake hands with the newly elected president and bask in some of the reflected glory. he has got some tough tasks ahead of him and maybe he will address some of those when he will address some of those when he makes his speech in the next few minutes. he is running quite a bit
5:11 pm
behind schedule and that is not hugely surprising at the moment. tomorrow is his first day of busy executive action. he will be announcing the appointment of a new prime minister and is due to fly to berlin to meet angela merkel. he is campaigning for further reform of the european union in the light of brexit. the european union in the light of brexit. nurses are promising a summer of protest across the uk and possible industrial action. members of the royal college of nursing at their annual conference in liverpool are calling on the next government to end years of below—inflation pay increases. but a ballot will be needed before any strike goes ahead. our health correspondent jane dreaper is in liverpool for us. yes, it has been a day of intense emotion here. in the conference debate this morning some of the speakers and people in the audience we re speakers and people in the audience were in tears as they talked about the effect of the years of pay freezes and capped pay rises and
5:12 pm
what they feel that has done to them and their family incomes. what they feel that has done to them and theirfamily incomes. with me to discuss this is the man who proposed the resolution this morning, the chairman of the royal college of nursing's counsel, michael brown. what exactly is it you want to do? is this a summer of discontent? the feeling in the hold this morning and the emotion you mentioned during that debate cannot be ignored. we carried out that poll and it told us members are feeling really undervalued and want to show which have a government we have in the future that nursing pay can no longer be ignored. patients will be really worried when they hear about nurses protesting. we have already seen the havoc that a cyber attack can cause on hospitals and the disruption in terms of cancelled appointments, but they will be worried when they hear about this proposed action. let's be clear, our argument and dispute is not with patience and the public. we will
5:13 pm
strive to bring patience and the public along with us. we are a long way from taking industrial action. we have been listening to our members and we want the government to respond to us and to listen to what nurses have been saying today. will it come to industrial action or is this an empty threat? it is not an empty threat. we said we would be responsible and give the next government of the uk the opportunity to end public sector pay restraint. if when a new government is formed and it continues to fail to listen to the hardship of nurses, we will proceed to an industrial action ballot. your members get pay incremental rises on top of the pay rise because of progressing in the job, don't they? in 2004 pay progressive system was introduced in the nhs for nursing and other people. that starts people at the starting point of the job and over a period of five years they progress to the true value of thatjob.
5:14 pm
period of five years they progress to the true value of that job. is the appetite among your members? this is a conference where we hear lots of fire and anger from the delegates, but around the country is there the appetite? 0nly i9% responded to a consultation about this. what we entered into a few weeks ago was listening exercise with our members after hearing stories of hardship and an argument that they were no longer happy with nhs pay. this wasjust that they were no longer happy with nhs pay. this was just a small survey. today the next steps took that forward and we need to go out and talk to all our members and all the people out there and find out what their views are. this represents a significant hardening of this union's position about how this will play out in the coming months in terms of protests and marches outside of hospitals, and we will have to wait and see. a teenager has been stabbed to death and two others injured during a brawl in north london. police found the injured 18—year—old

after they were called to enfield on saturday night over reports of a fight. he was taken to hospital but was pronounced dead an hour later. two others also suffered stab wounds. scotland yard has launched a murder investigation but said no arrests have yet been made. the headlines on bbc news: the cyber attack which hit the nhs and affected 150 countries is the biggest of its kind in history, according to the head of europol. emmanuel macron becomes french president in an elaborate ceremony at the elysee palace. nurses vote overwhelmingly in favour of a "summer of protest" over pay. the uk's most prestigious tv awards, the british academy awards take place later. the event at the royal festival hall on london south bank will be hosted for the first time by sue perkins.
5:16 pm
i guess graham norton need and night off after hosting the eurovision contest last night. 0ur entertainment correspondent, lizo mzimba is on the red carpet. it isa it is a big night forjoanna lumley in particular. it is a very big night for her. she has been awarded the most prestigious accolade that a ba fta the most prestigious accolade that a bafta has, the bafta fellowship, so she will be taking to the stage at the end of the evening to accept that in recognition of her incredible contribution to television and film over the last 20 or 30 years. she also has to do what people up for the fellowship have to do, sit through a slightly embarrassing and sometimes really quite emotional reel of clips from all sorts of things early in their careers that they hoped might have been forgotten. but she had so many wonderful things that she has done from the new avengers to absolutely fabulous, but it will be a wonderful
5:17 pm
reel of clips that we will see. it will be an interesting evening. ba fta will be an interesting evening. bafta is trying to reflect the changing tv landscape. five years ago programmes that were on online only channels were not eligible for the bafta ‘s, now the crown from netflix is eligible and is also leading the nominations this afternoon with the best drama series, the best actress, as well as other nominations. whatever kind of broadcasting appears, and it applies to the bbc as well, netflix has become an online only channel. we hope to see a whole range of styles here from the likes ofjoan collins to benedict cumberbatch who was nominated for playing richard iii. it should celebrate the very best of
5:18 pm
british television. we look forward to hearing more from you a little later. not a bad evening to be on the red carpet. makes a change for being in the rain. and victoria derbyshire is in the news category, so good luck to her. in the general election campaign, labour says it would raise billions of pounds for public services with a new tax on financial transactions — what's known as a ‘robin hood' tax. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said the levy would bring in £26 billion over the course of the next parliament. but the conservatives say targeting the city of london would lead to job losses. speaking on the andrew marr show, the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, said it's right that all transactions including what are called derivatives, are taxed the same. the truth is is that at the moment, we have got a tax which applies when you buy stocks and shares. currently, some people called market—makers, with hedge funds and so on, if they buy these shares they do not pay the tax. i don't understand why that is, but the other thing is that we also
5:19 pm
think that we should extend this tax to different types of financial instruments. it is a betting on the stock market and will help to stabilise it. many other countries do it. hillary clinton wanted to do it if she was elected as president, no one says that she is trying to undermine wall street. the eu is looking at that... it should be done in coordination with other countries to avoid hedge fund managers from moving to paris or dublin, wherever? you want to keep businesses here? i think the house of lords committee on this was interesting, looking at any changes of behaviour and they said they did not think it would be as drastic as some of the doomsayers say that it will. it is a question ofjust tidying this tax up. it does not seem to me to be right you can bet on the stock market or bet on the debts of a company and not pay tax, whereas it and not pay tax, whereas if
5:20 pm
you want to invest, you have to pay tax. kate andrews, from the institute of economic affairs, says it isn'tjust companies or major investors who would feel the impact of a robin hood tax. once again we're seeing this fallacy being highlighted that there will be knock—on effects. and unfortunately whether you're a pensioner or a saver, whether you're a small investor who might be hit with higher charges or if you're anyone borrowing money who might be hit with higher interest rates, something like a robin hood tax is going to affect ordinary people and the end of the day. even if your well—meaning attempts to get people with a lot of money, the bigger corporations and the banks, to be paying more into the system, always when we see these kinds of interventions it's ordinary people who are most badly affected. at the moment, especially with the financial sector and the city in particular being concerned about the knock—on effects of brexit it's very possible that they may move more of their business to other
5:21 pm
countries which would take them in with open arms. i don't think anyone thinks a bank is going to up and leave overnight but you could easily see financial transactions here in the uk decreasing and that means less tax revenue coming in. labour said that this policy is going to raise over £20 billion but realistically that has to assume that financial transactions will stay where they are but what they would really want to do if they were interested in getting more money into the treasury is to encourage the financial sector, encourage growth there, create more jobs and then, through thosejobs, you'd have higher tax revenues. the view from the institute of economic affairs. the view from the institute of economic affairs. the conservatives say they'lljoin forces with councils and housing associations to build thousands of new homes for rent — if they win the general election. theresa may says she wants to fix a broken market. it's not clear how much money the tories would invest or exactly how many new properties would be built. labour has dismissed the announcement as spin. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. it is my great pleasure to hand that over to you. mrs thatcher became famous for selling off council houses. but this conservative prime minister
5:22 pm
is now pledging to help local authorities build more of them. if re—elected, theresa may would give councils new powers to purchase derelict land and buildings at below market value. housing associations as well as local authorities could then use these to build more homes for rent. some homes would be sold off after ten to 15 years. tenants would have first option to buy and then proceeds used to fund more rented housing. the policy is aimed at voters who might not be traditionally conservative supporters, including some of the million people on housing waiting lists. while the conservatives say thousands of new homes would be provided, a precise figure is yet to be given and they have not said how much extra funding would be given. labour pledges to build 100,000 homes a year for rent and sale by the end of next parliament. the party says that conservative policy is spin, not substance, as some of the details are yet to be revealed. the liberal democrats have pledged
5:23 pm
to keep the uk's aid spending at the un's target of 0.7% of national income, while keeping defence spending at nato's benchmark of 2%. the leader tim farron said his party's success in turning the 0.7% figure into law during the coalition government had prevented conservative ministers from ditching the promise. this announcement means all three major parties are committed to both the un and nato targets, following similar commitments from both the conservatives and labour. the snp leader, scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has admitted that numeracy and literacy have got worse in scottish schools. a survey last week showed fewer than half of 13 and 14—year—old pupils were performing well in writing. nicola sturgeon told the andrew marr show that action is being taken to address it. japan says north korea's latest test may have involved an entirely
5:24 pm
new type of missile. japan's defence minister said this was the first time pyongyang had fired a missile that had reached an altitude of more than 2000 kilometres. the us military confirmed that a missile was launched near the north western city of kusong and landed in the sea ofjapan. the new president of south korea, moonjae—in, called the launch a reckless provocation. 0ur correspondent steve evans — who's in the south korean capital — gave us more details about the test. north korea is now conducting missile tests about once every two or three weeks. the previous two were duds but this one clearly wasn't. if the japanese defence ministry is getting it right and this missile reached an altitude of 2,000 kilometres, it marks a big improvement in north korea's technology. that would mean it's getting close to having an intercontinental ballistic missile, something president trump said would not happen.
5:25 pm
the condemnation has been pretty routine, the same words from seoul and tokyo. president trump and the white house have condemned the test. there's been talk of negotiation recently. president trump said he'd be proud to meet kimjong—un if the conditions were right. and north korean diplomats said that talks may happen if the conditions were right. another missile test indicates that the conditions aren't right yet. i defence system has been installed ina i defence system has been installed in a prison in the channel islands and it makes a first. the sky fence system seizes control of drones if they come within certain airspace. this remarkable footage shows
5:26 pm
a drone being used to smuggle drugs into a uk prison. it is unclear how big a problem it is. the only drones they catch are the ones that crash. and here in guernsey prison chiefs are leading the way in tackling this aerial menace. you are about to see a drone stopped mid—flight. the system hacks the frequency of the drone, holds it and sends it back to where it came from. you can see it has stopped. it kind of rears up, doesn't it? yes, absolutely. the aircraft is disconnected and it is into return—to—home mode. you no longer can see what is coming from the screen. and drones are getting smaller all the time. do you think the system could cope if there was a swarm of tiny drones? yes. as soon as any type of drone is detected, the whole perimeter fence sort of becomes live, so no drones can cross any of the perimeter fence at all. it is the first prison in the world to be using a drone detecting fence called sky fence. it is part of a £i.7 million security upgrade, but some of it has come free of charge.
5:27 pm
we bought the drone detector package which told us there were drones within the prison, but it didn't actually stop them coming in. this new technology which has been introduced we were offered as an upgrade and didn't have to pay for that. the payback hopefully will be that other prisons will come and see it and both the prison and the company will benefit from that. the anti—drone system will be activated at the end of next month and experts tell me it could also be applied to other places such as airports. portugal has won the eurovision song contest for the first time in the history of the competition. salvador sobral, who is awaiting a heart transplant, lifted the trophy after winning over both the internationaljuries, and the tv viewers. the uk's lucie jones delivered the country's best result in six years, as our correspondent steve rosenberg reports. he could not believe it. but salvador sobral had just won eurovision. his victory is portugal's first

5:33 pm
the head of europol the eu's law enforcement agency has warned that the start of the week could reveal more victims of this weekend's global cycber attack. the new french president emmanuel macron has been sworn—in at the elysee palace. in his inaugural address, he said the country was on the verge of a great renaissance. the largest nursing union, the royal college of nursing, will stage a "summer of protest" over the government's 1% cap on pay rises. labour have pledged to introduce a "robin hood" tax on financial transactions, to raise billions of pounds for public services if elected. the proposal has been slammed by the conservatives as a "total shambles". that is the news dealt with, now let's have a picture of sporting action on a busy afternoon! it was a day of contrasts at selhurst park —
5:34 pm
a 4—0 defeat for hull city confirmed their relegation from the premier league, but there were celebrations for crystal palace — as the win meant they are safe in the top flight for next season. for hull it's real disappointment and a case of what might have been — as nick parrott reports: had the season started when marco silva took charge of hull city they would have been templating into their match with crystal palace. he made them almost unbeatable at home but could not improve their awful form on the road... many who travel to selhurst park were resigned to their fate and they knew it would not be their day as early as the third minute. 0n not be their day as early as the third minute. on loan defender andrea block year build this match as the equivalent of a champions league final. but this error that led to wilfried zaha's golf was more akin to what you would see on a park ona akin to what you would see on a park on a sunday morning. the tigers did not manage a single shot on target while crystal palace scored all four
5:35 pm
of and stop christian benteke given all the space he needed to make it 2-0. if all the space he needed to make it 2—0. if referee martin atkinson missed this, he was on the ball in the second half... no dispute over crystal palace's spot kick. the home sides were not content to leave it there either. patrick van aanholt struck in the final minutes so the eagles could soar to safety in style while condemning hull to the championship... nick parrott, abc news. -- bbc —— bbc news. for the club, of course, this is not a good moment. now it is time for the club to take the next step to understand what has happened, we had many problems this season. of course, we've come here to play well. and it started in a bad way. of
5:36 pm
course, we've given them what they wa nt course, we've given them what they want for the match. no doubt the new players arriving in january made a massive effort. and, a massive difference as well. it lifted all of the other players here. for me, it is the most of done. the fixtures that we had to face going into the last eight or nine games, to come out of those fixtures with a win against chelsea away and liverpool away, and arsenal at home. if you see what arsenal have done now, since that victory we had here, it shows how big a task it was for us and in the end, we did it with a game gone, i'm glad to say. so that result means palace avoid relegation — as do swansea city as well... their players celebrated keeping their place in the top flight next season, defender angel rangel posted this on social media. at the start of the year the swans were bottom of the table and four points from safety.
5:37 pm
but three wins from their last four games has helped them stay up. at the other end of the table liverpool took a step closer to guaranteeing champions league football next season with a 4—0 thrashing of west ham. the win movesjurgen klopp's side up to third — a win from their final game against middlesbrough will see them secure a place in europe's elite competition, as maz farookhi reports. even from up here, the task for liverpool was crystal clear... anything less than a win and champions league qualification was out of their hands. the problem is, they haven't enjoyed visits to west ham in recent years. but then those word to their old ground. at the london stadium, philippe coutinho was able to slice through the hammers defence, setting up daniel sturridge for his first goal since the beginning of the year. the home side had plenty of chances of their own in the first half but failed to make them count. it was more
5:38 pm
difficult for andre ayew not to score here but inexplicably, he only had the post twice. after creating a goal, it was time for philippe coutinho to take centre stage. this run doubling the liverpool lead, before adding another minutes later. rather than celebration, commiseration for west ham. in the gold build—up there was a clear handball noticed by everyone, it seems, but the referee. west ham pause for thought for what might have been. the visitors didn't. reidy added a fourth. the scoreline in the end was emphatic. after the result yesterday, all the pressure had been onjurgen klopp's men “— pressure had been onjurgen klopp's men —— 0rigi's. champions league bubble was now in touching distance... —— dotball. —— dotball. it is not really long, but what a player he is. it is very important for us today, and all of his

5:45 pm
it's washington, it's the west wing, already you're in with the intrigue! and it'sjessica chastain and a very fine director, so all the omens look good. so the story isjessica chastain is a lobbyist who gets embroiled in a battle between the people who want controls on gun sales and those who want to sell more guns. early on she is enlisted by a group of people who say, we're trying to make guns seem more popular. we want to get guns to appeal to women. she literally laughs them out of the room. the next thing that happens is she is approached by the other side, who are trying to fight for the restrictions lobby. she decides that she will throw in her lot with them. they want her because of her very powerful and, it has to be said, sometimes cynical way of lobbying. here's a clip. what's the best indicator of voter in tension? that's our first prong. grassroots action aimed squarely at soliciting donations. not names in a petition, not clicks in cyberspace. will they know how much we're raising?
5:46 pm
non—profits have to report on theirfinances. every congressional staffer watches fining day like a hawk. while you're out there hustling, i'll be working influential senators who can deliver their colleagues votes. that's our second prong. 0ur third is to identify who holds sway in target states. employers, workers groups. don't just waltz into a senator's office and make your case, find out who they trust and convince that person to make your case. that is how we win. does she take no pr|soners, i'm guessing? absolutely, that's exactly it. it's a take no prisoners performance and very strong supporting cast, including gugu mbatha—raw. i went into this feeling the same as you did — i like the subject matter, i like the milieu, i like the cast, the director. i came out thinking, it's not as good as it should be. the whole is less than the sum of its parts. there is something about it that keeps you at a distance. i was never completely engrossed, i never completely believed in these characters. one of the things about it is it has
5:47 pm
this plot that's full of twists and turns and there is a certain point after which those twists and turns start to sort of defy credibility. that said, it is done with gusto and, as i said, jessica chastain is always worth watching in anything and the subject matter is interesting and timely and it ought to be more gripping than it is. like you, i really wanted it to be great and i came out thinking, it's kind of 0k, what i wanted it to be more than 0k. however, it makes sense, which is more than can be said for alien: covenant, which is the next instalment in the ongoing alien franchise. now, are you an alien fan? oh my goodness, no. you know enough about me and horror films to know i'm chicken. there's no way. there is no way. the first alien film was a horror film, the second was a war film, then we had alien iii, which was a mess, alien: resurrection, which was weird. and now we got onto the prequels. prometheus, which really suffered from... rather than having the dialogue
5:48 pm
that they had in alien, which was space truckers, people in space talking about overtime, talking about work conditions, griping about stuff you could believe in. in prometheus they started talking about the nature of mankind, god, the nature of existence. this is very much a prometheus sequel rather than an alien prequel. we have a group of space truckers, they're in space, they get a signal, they arrive at a new planet. it looks like it's going to be a new eden, it actually turns out to be some kind of living hell. what they do all the time is talk about poetry, about art, about life, about god, in a manner that nobody ever talks in space. we have sort of greatest hit reruns of all the famous moments from alien and aliens, but sped up in a way where they make no sense whatsoever. there is no question that ridley scott is a visual stylist, but he's only ever as good as his script. the fact is, with alien: covenant, the script is very, very weak. there's a famous story that when vincent ward was going to do alien iii,
5:49 pm
he wanted it to be the name of the rose in space. this is the da vinci code in space. and, as someone who loved alien because it was ruthless, because it was stripped down, and loved aliens because it's a war movie, this is very much like a massive amount of pontificating and holding forth and also it makes no sense whatsoever! i know people don't necessarily go to alien movies to tie up all loose ends, but there were moments in it... there was one moment in it where a character says so little that makes any sense i laughed out loud. you've made me laugh! that's the only laugh you'll ever get from me about alien, i suspect. i'm a little more hopeful about your third choice this week, jawbone. jawbone, written by and starring johnny harrison. i have to say, i know nothing about boxing, other than what i know from the movies. this is the tale of a washed—up boxer who is struggling with alcoholism and we meet him at the beginning of the film. he's on, i think, the south bank, in london, and he's drunk.
5:50 pm
he lives in a flat which used to be his mother's flat, he's in danger of being evicted. he's arrested early on for causing a disturbance. his life is in a mess. he turns up at his old gym, which is run by ray winstone and ray winstone gives him a look that tells you everything you need to know about their history. he says, ok, you can train here, but no alcohol and no talk of unlicensed games. however, he needs money and the next thing is he's having a meeting with ian mcshane. here's a clip. i think i can get you your money. i tell him, i've got an ex aba champion with me who's looking for a fight. jimmy, you were one of the bravest kids i ever saw. the thing i don't with is kind of nick you're in now. so if you take this, it's on your back. whatever happens from there, you are on your own. yeah, i know. you're up for it, yeah? yeah, i'm up for it. right, i'll make the phone call.
5:51 pm
now, i thought this was really intriguing. i went in not knowing much about it, other than it was a boxing movie and i like members of the cast. i thought it really drew you into the story. you believe in the character and his dejection and his addiction and his alcoholism and his struggle to redeem himself. so i said that moment when he first goes into the gym and ray winstone looks at him in a way that kind of tells you everything, there are some wonderful scenes with michael smiley, who is a terrific actor, again it's not to do with what they say, it's to do with what they don't say. you know, cinematography has changed a lot since martin scorsese did not raging bulland, here, this puts you right there, in the ring, on the receiving end of the punches. as i said, i've never been to a boxing match in my life, or a boxing gym, but this had the smack of authenticity and it had heart. it felt like it was a story being told by somebody who really believed in all of this and it engages you. it makes you care.
5:52 pm
it's not fantastically original, but it is done in a way that seems very honest, very authentic, very moving. and as somebody who is not a boxing fan, i know nothing about boxing, i found it very gripping. and some great british talent in there as well. yeah, ray winstone, as far as i'm concerned, walks on water anyway, but this is a very understated role and he plays it beautifully. and, as i said, michael smiley who is a terrific actor, a really, really brilliant screen presence. there are couple of moments between him and johnny harris's character, it's just to do with the way they look at each other. everything is said in the eyes, and the gestures, in the way they hold their heads and necks. it was a real pleasure to see it because it's a textured film and it takes an idea that we've seen done... you know, boxing does turn up in movies a lot because it's a spectacular sport in a way. but this really had something. in the end it's not a boxing movie. in the end it's about somebody
5:53 pm
overcoming their demons and wrestling with their own demons and overcoming addiction and dealing with alcoholism in a way which seemed honest and truthful and very engaging. best out? bless you, you have brought me a woody allen! yeah, manhattan. i love a lot of woody allen. i love the jazz, the new york, the angst, the neurosis. it's all there. and the way that manhattan looks means it's one of the woody allen films that you should see on a cinema screen. often when you think of woody allen you think of the jokes, the characters and all the rest of it. but this does look brilliant. the combination of the visuals, from the beginning he is a writer and he describes the way he feels about the city. people talk about the classy woody allen, annie hall, manhattan, i'm a huge fan of love and death. but the idea of seeing manhattan on the big screen — i haven't seen manhattan projected since it first came out, ‘79, 1980, something like that. the idea of being able to see it projected again, because it's a beautifulfilm.
5:54 pm
that's wonderful. i didn't know it was being reissued, so that's fantastic. talking of seeing things on a big screen, i'm very interested in this week's dvd because it is la la land, which i did enjoy hugely. but doesn't that really need to be seen on a big—screen, that wonderful opening shot, the dancing, the californian sunshine? well, i've seen it on a big screen and a small screen, although nowadays small screens are no longer that small, and i have to say it worked both times for me. in fact, oddly, when i saw it on the small screen i was in slightly more comfortable conditions, because there weren't people talking around me. i really like la la land, the opening sequence which is so beautiful. glorious! i think emma stone's performance is terrific. some people have complained and said things like, there's not a memorable tune in that film. i thought, what are you talking about?! and it made me happy! you leave with a spring in your step and a song in your heart. i loved the ending and i won't spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it. but i thought it was spot on.
5:55 pm
i will say no more because that would be a spoiler. it would be. they do it really, really well. incidentally, it's a musical, oddly in the same way manhattan is kind of a musical as well. not really, but sort of. it is glorious. the music is driving the story. thank you very much, mark. that is the dvd viewing for the week. a reminder, you can find much more film news and reviews from across the bbc online of course. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going. goodbye. hello, some welcome rain is on the way forfarmers hello, some welcome rain is on the way for farmers and growers over the weekend. initially coming from this
