at many aiports worldwide. all ba flights from london heathrow and gatwick have been cancelled for the rest of the day. ba has apologised and said it's "working to resolve the problem". our business correspondent joe lynam reports. this is what happens when there is a major it failure. queues were snaking out of the door at terminal 5 at heathrow airport for thousands of ba passengers. the long bank holiday didn't start very well for these people. people have been standing in the queues for up to 120 minutes in some cases. the queue stretches from the check—in desks all the way out to the back of the terminal and down in front of the terminal where all the taxis deliver people. and many passengers contacted the bbc with their experiences. travelling with an 80—year—old

grandma. we have not been offered chairs, water, barges, nothing. —— vouchers. british airways has now cancelled all flights for the day. from heathrow and gatwick. and there have been reports of severe delays for ba flights around the world. this isjfk in new york. and this is rome. ba said it had experienced an it outage which had affected the airline's global network. it said it was working to resolve the problem and apologised to customers. a senior figure in the aviation industry said an it failure of this magnitude was extraordinary and rarely seen. he added ba had taken the right step to stop all departures.

for some ba passengers though, the long bank holiday weekend could be very long indeed. joe lynam, bbc news. the bbc‘s phillip norton — is currently in rome at fiumicino airport. he sent us this clip after the british airways captain came out to speak to the passengers. cancelled all departures from heathrow and gatwick. i still think we have plenty of time. you still have at least one hour, because i the time we get the

computer on... we will not leave you behind. that is the latest from here in rome. these are passengers waiting for a flight due to leave at 1145 waiting for a flight due to leave at 11115 local time. three hours and, clearly even british airways staff don't know when this system is very to an end. the problem we are being told is, even when it does come back online, the computer systems, the flights at heathrow, a huge backlog there to clear. those fights have not been able to leave for a number of hours now. many sites have landed which have not been able to park. the feeling here is that this could go on for some time yet. everyone travelling on that site

have now been asked by british airways to leave the airport, go to hotels in the city. reasonable expenses will be covered by the airline. according to a better that has been handed out. that is more than passengers at heathrow have been told they will receive from british airways. joining me now from cirencester is tim jeans, the chairman of cornwall airport in newquay and used to run ryanair at london stansted airport. he was the chairman of monarch previously. how big a problem? probably the worst scenario for british airways. a complete shutdown of their computer systems means effectively the airline, as we have

seen effectively the airline, as we have seen today, is shutdown also. it could not have happened on a worst day of this part of the year. the study of the summer, half term break, the school holiday is beginning, and this disruption will continue for quite a number of days because the flights this weekend with all have been virtually full. they are saying, british airways, they are trying to restore services from tomorrow but some delays and disruptions will continue into sunday. it is about getting everyone in the right place and aircraft in the right cities and airport, isn't it? sian tier —— the right cities and airport, isn't it? sian tier -- the operating crews will be in the wrong places. the wrong type of aircraft in the wrong airports. until systems are restored, passengers of british airways themselves cannot see the nature of the scale of the problems they are dealing with. probably tens

of thousands of passengers at airports around the uk and around the network who have no visibility of the network. they cannot even can start taking your kids with their passengers. this seems to be the problem. a lot of passengers stuck at airports like gatwick and heathrow they are getting very little information, they cannot use the application, they cannot access the application, they cannot access the website. what should british airways be doing? people do not like to be in the dark. that is their biggest problem, passengers will put up biggest problem, passengers will put up with many things but a lack of information is not one of them. apart from anything else, passengers stranded overnight if they can get hotels provided by the airline, would they have to do that themselves and reclaim the costs from british airways? the so—called

eu 261 regulation is very sound in the passenger's favour but with tens of thousands of passengers they will not be able to arrange accommodation alternatively or arrange meals as they should do. it is a real nightmare for passengers. and for british airways themselves because, asi british airways themselves because, as i say, they simply cannot see the problem themselves at the moment. one thing to get a refund but most people would prefer to go on holiday. in terms of reputation what does this do for a company? not a lot. people will rightly as the question, where is the resilient in the british airways systems? given that airlines around the world are totally reliant on their computer reservation systems, for their operations and everything else. to have a failure of this dimension, which is completely shut down the airline today, must raise questions

about the resilience of their systems, and that is clearly a big worry and something they will have to address. thank you. british airways have issued a statement. with regret, all flights are cancelled for the rest of the day. we are working hard to get our customers... the prime minister has announced that the threat level facing the uk is being reduced from critical to ‘severe' , following significant progress by police in their investigation into the manchester bombing. it means that an attack is no longer regarded as "imminent", but remains "highly likely". extra staff have been posted at

spotting and music event. people have been covering to bring their tributes of flowers and balloons. the carpet of flowers has extended here all day. at some point, families of the victims came here and people watched in silence as they read the tributes and looked at they read the tributes and looked at the flowers and saw pictures of their loved ones. the colleagues of elaine mciver, an off—duty police officer at the ariana grande concept, some of her colleagues came here today. emotions mixed. sadness and anger. and of course, defiance. many and anger. and of course, defiance. ma ny eve nts and anger. and of course, defiance. many events have been taking place across manchester today. people have been coming from all over the uk entered this city. my colleague reports. they're on hand for photos, but the armed police out

on the streets are there to protect and reassure the crowds who've turned out for the bank holiday weekend. shoppers mixed with hen parties in manchester as the threat level was lowered. itjust made you feel much more secure be quite honest having that so, yes, i think only sort of five days after something critical‘s happened in manchester, to reduce it so quickly, there's still a lot of investigation going ahead. there is also the side that though that you trust the fact the investigation's shown that maybe it's not the threat that we thought so you could feel possibly a bit comforted with that. increased security will be evident at 1300 events happening this weekend, including at wembley for the fa cup final between arsenal and chelsea. at the let's rock festival in shrewsbury, armed officers are mingling with gig—goers and every one of the 50,000 spectators at radio 1's big weekend in hull will be searched at least once.

i got searched twice, once at the transport and once here. no—one minds, because it's all about the safety. i would personally rather wait the extra half hour and get checked. they've got to be there haven't they, that's understandable. although the threat level‘s been reduced, the increased security will continue until midnight on monday. we made the decision that the resources we planned for this week's events will continue, so they'll still see the high level of police presence, some armed, some unarmed. once we are past the weekend, we are going to look forward to stepping down the extra resources we put in place over the last week. georgina calendar was killed in the blast. her mum was frantically trying to find her after the concert. today she spoke about the moment that she found her daughter. there she was on the stretcher and they were working doing resuscitation and getting her down the stairs and i was just screaming and shouting at her.

i was rubbing her hands, rubbing hertummy, rubbing herface and all the images are so vivid now, i can see everything... for every victim, a harrowing story. so much loss, unimaginable grief. the pain of this tragedy is still raw. docking their two georgina's mother. the family came here along with otherfamilies of the family came here along with other families of other victims. we saw georgina's family walk on with yellow balloons, flowers, 18 yellow balloons they released into the air

in memory of their child. it was painful to watch them together. the painful to watch them together. the pain the family is feeling is clearly a n pain the family is feeling is clearly an expressible. they came here, standing strong, reading the tributes to their daughter. they spent a lot of time in the square having a look at the tributes, seeing what had been written and is taking, i hope, comfort. we saw the family walk around the square, other families walking around the square, being able to read some of the words to give them some comfort and support from people here in manchester and from wider beyond, of course. people who have come from all over the uk and this bank holiday weekend. there are many events, the great manchester run tomorrow. it has started raining but that has not dampened people's spirit of remaining here, standing

shoulder to shoulder across the team unity. iam shoulder to shoulder across the team unity. i am joined shoulder to shoulder across the team unity. iamjoined now shoulder to shoulder across the team unity. i am joined now by a member of the libyan community. you felt it was important to be here today? the libyan community is an important pa rt libyan community is an important part of the manchester community. myself as a libyan, other libyans who have come here to show support, and show we are part of the society. the bomber was part of the libyan community. was she known to you? he was very isolated. —— was he known to you? he was very distant to us and we did not know him very well. tell me about the impact this has had to you live in manchester? the impact is great. we are part of the

society. there have been isolated incidents of hate crimes, but that does not represent the people of manchester. the people have shown us support. we are part of them, we have shown support, this is who we are. the chief constable of data manchester police said, on an average day, on monday, there were 28 reports of hate crimes. a doubling ina 28 reports of hate crimes. a doubling in a number. is that something you feel your community is experiencing? the terrorists, when they carried out this attack, they did notjust do it to kill people, but to divide us. i say, less than together and not give them what they want. there have been incidents, but those people do not represent the people of manchester. they had been standing together in manchester, and will continue. as a muslim community, as a people of manchester. do you feel the libyan

community is well integrated into manchester as a whole? the libyan community is well educated, we had doctors on the scene treating them. and various big football teams start that we are part of society, which are no different. thank you very much indeed, mohammed. people have come from across all communities, all faiths and none, people working here to support each other. people giving hugs, street pastors, emergency services, volunteers from charities going out of their way to offer each other support as manchester tries to get over this by looking after each other together. the prime minister has announced

that the threat level facing the uk is being reduced from critical to ‘severe' , following significant progress by police in their investigation into the manchester bombing. soldiers who have been assisting police will be withdrawn from the streets from midnight on monday. overnight, police in manchester made two more arrests. they are now questioning 11 men over the attack by salman abedi on monday. from manchester our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports. this is an investigation that is not yet over. this time, moss side. they are trying to work out where the bomb was made, where its components stores, and that means there is a co nsta nt stores, and that means there is a constant risk. the investigation is now focusing on who salman abedi

new, resulting in more arrests. they passed this morning as police who open their store in yet another raid. local people have helped us establish the identities of the 20 and 22—year—old man arrested last night. we have established a link between one of them and a member of salman abedi's family. that is the pattern of the police investigation, start with the bomber, find out who his friends and acquaintances are, and arrest them. they are increasingly confident. police have a good understanding of salman abedi's network and movements. more certain of the ongoing risk. the independent joint terrorism analysis centre has this morning taken the decision to reduce the threat level from critical to severe. the public should know that severe means an

attack is highly likely and the country should remain vigilant. so for this bank holiday weekend at least, the high levels of police activity around the country will continue. it seems that they have made great strides? they say they have made immense progress and it would seem from what theresa may said that the decision to downgrade the national threat level is as a result of the intense police activity we have seen here in manchester over the last 2a hours. and as a result of the progress that police have made. we have had a response from the chief co nsta ble of have had a response from the chief constable of this police force, greater manchester, ian hopkins, to

the decision to downgrade the threat level from critical to severe. he said, the change in the national threat level does not alter our response to monday's attack, which claimed so many lives. he said, we have made significant progress in this fast moving and complex investigation, working with the national counterterrorism policing network. he says the number of resources they have available remains the same. from that, we can ta ke remains the same. from that, we can take that, despite the fact things do not appear to be as infinite as they appeared to be, greater manchester police still regard this asa manchester police still regard this as a fast—moving and urgent investigation for them. the last confirmed arrests that greater manchester police told us about where the two in the early hours of the morning in manchester, a 20—year—old and a 22—year—old. the area is close to manchester arena where the attack happened on monday night when 22 people were killed

when a bomber set off his suicide pact. those arrests, the last ones that greater manchester police confirmed, they told us they used a controlled explosion to get into the property and so still this investigation continues apace. arlene foster is at wembley. —— the pyrotechnics are going off here. we are about five minutes away from kick—off. the teams are just on the pitch. arsenal and chelsea for the

136 fa cup final. a full house, fans asked to get year earlier. a security operation outside, lots of armed police, many more than usual, lots of searches and sniffer dogs. in the chelsea end, in fine voice. an enormous banner says, the pride of london. they are the champions of england looking to complete the double. arsene wenger, who was out there on the pitch with his team, is looking to win the fa cup for the seventh time as arsenal manager. a record for him, a 13th for the club, also a record. lots of speculation about where his future lies. a board meeting will decide that next week. we arejust a meeting will decide that next week. we are just a couple of minutes away from this fa cup final now. the climax of the english domestic season. there is going to be a

one—minute silence. hard to believe, really, to remember the manchester terror attack last monday. the duke of cambridge is going to make a commemorative wreath in his capacity as the football association president. the pyrotechnics have tha nkfully president. the pyrotechnics have thankfully died down. i was getting warm on the back of my neck! we are almost underway here at wembley stadium. iam almost underway here at wembley stadium. i am glad as your eyebrows we re stadium. i am glad as your eyebrows were not changed. —— burned. and more are on the ig systems failure, nothing coming in and outs of heathrow and gatwick. some delays and destruction may continue into sunday and maybe even belong. —— it systems failure. how great is it about what has happened to the computer system? ——

about what has happened to the computer system ? —— how about what has happened to the computer system? —— how clear? about what has happened to the computer system? -- how clear? not clear. no flights for the rest of the day says the statement. no information on that at all. some british airways staff telling passengers they thought it might be a cyber attack. one british airways pilot told his passengers that. the company says there is no evidence that their systems have been hacked. having said that, they are not identifying the source of the problem. the problems continue here for passengers at heathrow. big problems at terminal five. queues to get into the terminal earlier today, now queues to get out of it. people realise they are not going anywhere so they are trying to get out and finding difficulties. british airways said the problem will have a knock—on effect tomorrow, even if systems a re knock—on effect tomorrow, even if systems are back up and running. they say they do expect that long haulflights to they say they do expect that long haul flights to arrive in london.

there are still british airways flights coming in but none going out at the moment. how much information available to passengers? we were speaking earlier in the day to people who were frustrated they could not find anything out. passengers have been very angry and frustrated. out of the problem is that, with the computers down, british airways cannot communicate to its own staff. they may not be aware of what is happening. the british airways website was down for a while earlier today. it seems they are not able to update it. there is no banner information there for passengers telling them what is happening. ina passengers telling them what is happening. in a lot of people complaining that they were kept in the dark and poor information from british airways about precisely what is happening. thank you, and the. us media have published fresh claims about alleged links between president trump's transition team and the russian government. it's been reported that...

in december — mr trump's son—in—law and adviser, jared kushner, asked the russian ambassador to set up a secret channel for communication with the kremlin. mr kushner is understood to be under scrutiny by the fbi as part of its inquiry into possible russian interference favouring mr trump's election win. let's get more on this then. joining us live now from new york is the bbc‘s nada tawfik. it seems to become more and more complicated, the various strands of this investigation. absolutely. particularly at this case which involves the president's's son—in—law and an internet —— influential senior adviser in the white house. the first time we know ofa white house. the first time we know of a person in the white house being looked at by the fbi. american media outlets have said that jared kushner

met with the russian ambassador and proposed setting up a secret channel directly from the transition team to the kremlin. even suggesting it should be in russian diplomatic facilities to avoid monitoring by american intelligence agencies to which the russian ambassador says he was taken aback by intercepted russian communications that intelligence agencies saw. jared kushner allegedly wanted to have the former adviser flynn discuss security matters but it is unclear why they thought that needed to be secret. setting up the communications channel. jared kushnehs communications channel. jared kushner‘s lawyer says he is willing to speak to congress and other places about it. he is not being charged with any criminal wrongdoing and seeing as under scrutiny, a person of interest, but it is raised

new questions about the transition tea m new questions about the transition team lies conduct with the russian officials in washington, dc and democrats are already calling for jared kushner to have his security clea ra nce jared kushner to have his security clearance revoked because he was not forthcoming about the conversations. and. radio 1's big weekend has held a minute's silence at the event to remember victims of the manchester bombing. the two—day festival kicked—off with an increased police presence following the atrocity at manchester arena. here's the moment radio1 dj nick grimshaw took to the stage to introduce the minute's silence following a set by james arthur. like you guys, all of us had been thinking about manchester all week. we are heartbroken. we thought it would be nice for a one—minute silence for everyone who lost their lives in manchester on monday. after that, we will make as much noise as we can to defiantly make a loud noise as

a community of music lovers. pleasejoin me in a minute's silence for manchester. our 0ur correspondence our correspondence will to an american band just after they played about the importance of music. american band just after they played about the importance of musicm american band just after they played about the importance of music. it is important to show that no individual will put fear in our hearts and ruin music for the world. it is tragic what happened, we mourn and short love and respect of the people affected by that. but the music will continue and we won't let it represent what music is. music is love and equality and happiness. and the relationship that artists have with your fans, that is incredibly

important, isn't it? yes, no artist is anything without their fans. we are important to have the best bands in the world, and a player first summer festival in the in the world, and a player first summerfestival in the uk, there is no feeling like it. that was the band imagine dragons. now let's get the weather. northern ireland has seen some severe thunderstorms, flash flooding and also some hailstones. thunderstorms will continue to move northwards, they will put out overnight. a legacy of cloud and rain for north and west of scotland, but for the south and dry night with some clear spells and a little fresher and what it has been. it is sunday the northern half will hold onto a lot of cloud and it may stay cloudy day. it will feel cooler. central and southern areas will see warm sunshine. but some thunderstorms pushing their way northwards. a warm

and humid day across the south—east but cooler and fresher for the north and west. bank holiday monday is looking pretty cloudy, outbreaks are heavy, thundery rain across northern and eastern areas, the risk of more storms pushing into the south—east later on. here it will be warm, elsewhere cooler and fresher. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines just after 5:30pm: british airways extends its cancellation of flights at heathrow and gatwick for the rest of the day after a global computer system failure. ba says it hopes to get passengers onto the next available flights over the weekend. as you can see behind me, a huge queue waiting for any information. my queue waiting for any information. my main concern is that i don't want my 80—year—old grandma spending the night on heathrow floor. the terror threat level in the uk, which was increased to the highest

status of "critical" following the manchester bombing has been reduced to "severe". there will be more arrests and more searches, but this greater clarity and progress has led jtac, the independent body who assesses the right, to conclude that an attack is no longer imminent. police and army bomb disposal experts evacuate an area of moss side as part of an ongoing search linked to the manchester arena bombing. there are new revelations about president trump's son in law, jared kushner, and his alleged involvement in secret dealings with russia. us media is reporting that the fbi is investigating claims he discussed opening a secret communications channel with the kremlin. now let's catch up on the sport. it's one of the busiest days for sport this year and it's been dramatic already. . .we will get to the fa cup in a moment — dramatic already.

we will get to the fa cup in a moment — that game kicked off at 5.30 and i'll have news of rugby union's premiership final but we have already had a cup final in scotland today and celtic are the scottish cup champions for the 37th time. they beat aberdeen 2—1 thanks to a last gasp winner. patrick gearey reports. four weeks celtic have been taking the applause, hail scotland's champions, a final short of a treble. but aberdeen have been closer to them than any other, their motto, stand free, just as their winger did ten minutes in. gasps and cheers and barely cleared throats when celtic responded. stuart armstrong was the scorer. aberdeen had been ahead for less than two minutes. now it was a final of full—blooded stuff. kieran tierney jim out of this without the truth. the last team to beat celtic in any competition was barcelona, it calls

for aberdonian inspiration rather than fear. the only problem, the final moments. and celtic were coming, closer, it seemed, with every attack. patrick roberts within inches. at 90 minutes dons were hanging on. stoppage time was heart stopping time, and a young man from australia who was about to become a legend. victory and history that means more for having had to fight for it, celtic, scotland's invincible ‘s. this is exceptional. for the season to go all the way through the week without getting defeated on to win two trophies and clear up the travel, it's the best feeling you could ever experience. this is the best feeling ever. you couldn't expect anything better. it is huge tribute everyone behind the scenes who has worked hard all through the season, and what we have dedicated to the season has been incredible. it's been a dream, any manager

coming in at the beginning of the season, you couldn't write down what we would have done. i said to the players before they went out that this is a game where you want them to write about it afterwards, but you have to make history, it doesn't just happen. and the players did that. the second half in particular, they were brilliant. the fa cup final has just kicked off at wembley and it sees chelsea looking to claim a league and cup double this season while arsenal are aiming for a third cup infouryears. that's the teams coming out onto the pitch a few moments ago, four minutes had been played, and we can go to live shots because arsenal are celebrating. they have just scored within five minutes. that is arsene wenger, the manager looking to get something out of this season after his side have finished outside of the champions league races for the first time in 20 years. they were looking for a cup title this season if they can and arsenal have taken

the lead against chelsea. it is 1—0 at wembley to arsenal against chelsea. alexis sanchez with the goalfor arsenal, very chelsea. alexis sanchez with the goal for arsenal, very early into that game. we will bring new updates as they happen. watford have appointed marco silva as their new head coach, barely 48 hours after he resigned as manager of hull. the 39—year—old portuguese took charge of hull injanuary but was unable to prevent relegation to the championship. he now replaces walter mazzarri, becoming the ninth watford boss in five years. the english premiership couldn't have been closer — the score was 20—20 after 80 minutes in extra time was needed. for this season's greatest

entertainers the silverware they craved was within touching distance. exeter rugby can hear 12 months ago and were keen to put the past behind them. jack nowell charge forward for them. jack nowell charge forward for the initial breakthrough. the chiefs had a healthy lead heading into half—time, but it was trimmed down to four points. the player of the season showed impeccable timing. wasps flew out after the break, breathing space. it was a final fit for a while, but this was not to be confined to 80 minutes. in the final moments, exeter‘s penalty sent to extra time. nothing to separate them until the 98th minute. garrett steenson kicked for premiership glory. heartbreak this time for the men in black and gold, but for exeter, who has a silver lining. england have a chance of sealing their one—day cricket

series against south africa with victory at southampton today. but, the hosts are beginning to struggle a little. england were put into bat and set a victory target of 331 thanks largely to a century from ben stokes. he then took the opening wicket of south africas reply, hasheem amla caught by captain eoin morgan. but since then the tourists have made steady progress, quinten de kock is closing in on his century. he's joined at the wicket by ab de villiers. south africa now 2013 for 3. kimi raikkonen is on pole position for the monaco grand prix as lewis hamilton could only qualify 14th for formula one's biggest race. he'll start tomorrow's race from 13th after a penalty relegated jenson button to the back of the grid on his one off return to the sport. both fans and drivers are on the edgein both fans and drivers are on the edge in monaco. from trying to get the best view to the battle for pole

position, the tight and twisted streets throughout the greatest challenges. this place can put you ina spin. challenges. this place can put you in a spin. lewis hamilton had his hands full, he managed to keep his mercedes out of the barriers, but could not keep up the pace. there is something wrong with the car. you are only going to get one more bite of the cherry. but he ended up confronting a manner skin. his charge was stopped and he was condemned to 13th on the grid. any hope of closing the gap to the leader sebastian vettel evaporated. but it was kimi raikkonen who came out on top as he claimed pole position for the first time in nine yea rs. position for the first time in nine years. the far bigger challenge for the finnish driver will be to keep team—mate vettel behind to the chequered flag. the indianapolis 500 is also one of motorsport‘s most prestigious races and it takes place this sunday with fernando alonso looking to become only the second man

in history to have won a formula one world title and win the indy 500 race. alonso will start the 500—mile, 200—lap endurance race from fifth on the grid. thibaut pinot has won the penultimate stage of the giro d'italia to move within 43 seconds of race leader nairo quintana. the frenchman made a dramatic move for victory in asiago with 300 metres to go, taking nairo quintana and second—placed vincenzo nibali by surprise. the 2014 champion quintana keeps the pinkjersey. but tom dumoulin, who's fourth overall, is favourite to overhaul a 53 second deficit in tomorrow's final stage time trial from monza to milan. britain's adam yates is still in the white jersey of the best young rider, he's 8th overall. the australian with the in the lead

going into the final day of the pga championship. here's shot clear of the rest of the leaderboard with players finishing off their round at the moment. scott jamieson players finishing off their round at the moment. scottjamieson had gone into today's play as one of three players tied for the lead, but the disappointing afternoon has seen him drop down the leaderboard. he has set to double bogeys and is currently on four over par for the day. churchill won the big race of the day, the irish 2000 guineas stakes by jockey ryan moore. day, the irish 2000 guineas stakes byjockey ryan moore. the colt finished two lengths clear of thunder snow and will contest the saint james's palace stakes at ascot from which he is the odds—on favourite. tennis, and the french open gets underway tomorrow and after losing last yea r‘s underway tomorrow and after losing last year's final against novak

djokovic, world number one andy murray is hoping to go one better. he faces a russian player in the first round who has beaten before but are still concerned about his opponenfs but are still concerned about his opponent's recent form. but are still concerned about his opponent's recent formlj but are still concerned about his opponent's recent form. i need to accept that i'm struggling and then find a way to get through it, you know? i will get through it, i'm sure of that, when that happens, i don't know. hopefully it happens within a few days. hopefully happens at this event. if it doesn't, maybe it happens during the grass. that's all sport for now. scottish cup champions are celtic, arsenal are trying to join them, exeter rugby premiership champions. you can keep up to date with all those stories on the bbc sport website. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.

to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? as i'm sure you must have noticed, there is a new pirates of the caribbean movie coming into cinemas. why? laughter. baywatch goes from small screen to big screen. and aki kaurismaki's the other side of hope. let's kick off with the pirates of the caribbean, they are billing it as jack searching for the trident of poseidon. every single one of these films — this is the fifth — has a search, a quest. this time it's for the trident of poseidon. the last time we were with pirates of the caribbean, it was one that everyone felt was like an afterthought.

the reason we are back is because these movies make a huge amount of money. we have some of the old cast, some new faces. but generally the same old story. yes, there is a curse, a quest, some goings—on. here is a clip. i need to speak with you. hand me your sword. i don't have a sword. what kind of soldier has no weapon? i'm currently wanted for treason. so not the very good kind, then. i'm looking for a pirate. captainjack sparrow? well, today is your lucky day. because ijust happen to be captain jack sparrow. no, it can't be. i've spent years searching for this? the great jack sparrow is not some drunk in a cell. do you even have a ship?

a crew? pants? a great pirate does not require such intricacies. do you know how long i've been waiting for this moment? the audiences love it, so give them more and more? have you seen the other pirates movies? i think i saw the first one, a long time ago. thought it was all right, but i didn't need more. do you think this gag is so fabulous it's going to take five movies? firstly, i was never a fan of the first one, the second and third i found increasingly annoying, and the fourth just felt like a postscript. you havejohnny depp doing that same performance that has been getting more and more broad during the various movies. when he first started doing it, everyone said he was like keith richards from the rolling stones. it has become more and more like a pantomime. his accent seems to have gone to the other side of the world. he sounded positively australian in some moments. you also get the classic thing of, we need to relaunch the franchise, let's have intertwining plots, and all the way through you're

thinking, just give me a narrative that actually makes some sense. the weird thing about the pirates movies is they feel quite so mechanical and soulless. understandably, they come from a ride originally, they are an attempt to take that and put it on the screen. there is a real feeling that i suspect even people who are real fans of the pirates of the caribbean series will feel they have seen this before and done better. i've never been a fan of them, but i think even fans will start to think, for heaven's sake, do we have to do this all over again? actually, it is one of those movies in which you can almost see the accountants totting up the sums. putting this thing together. it's like an abacus. there is no new wit or invention. a lot of the script sounds like offcuts from carry on movies. you can take lines from this and carry on columbus and they are the same scriptwriting pattern.

it's not the worst of the movies, it's not the best of the pirates of the caribbean movies — boringly in the middle, with emphasis on the boring. we get that! something else we have seen before is baywatch, a long—running sort of kitsch classic tv series, what, 25 years ago? long enough ago that when it was on i didn't have a television. it's a sort of post—modern reboot in the manner of 21 jump street. zac efron is a disgraced olympian, a celebrity to bring attention to them. his character doesn't believe in teamwork. you know that over the course of the movie, they will find some sort of affectionate bond, and this will be driven by a long and rather creaky crime plot, because it's a feature film, therefore it has to have a crime plot. it's not particularly good, but not particularly bad either. i counted five times during this

movie that i laughed, five times more than i thought i would. it's nothing like as consistently funny as 21 jump street, but zac efron and dwayne "the rock" johnson are quite funny. there is a slightly sharp thing about the fact there is a lot of camera ogling, but it's zac efron who is being ogled. it is a two—hour movie that is at least one hour and five minutes too long. if it was a 55——minute tv special, they might have got away with it. i have seen worse. i did at least laugh a few times, which is more than i can say about pirates of the caribbean. when you describe it as post—modern, i'm sure the makers of the film will be flattered. i'm sure that that was how it was pitched in the first place. it's a post—modern redo. now, the other side of hope. this is a sort of comedy about europe's refugee crisis. it's aki kaurismaki, an interesting writer—director. if you are familiar with him, you will know his kind

of deadpan comedy. it's essentially a story about a young man from syria who arrives in finland, processed by the authorities, bullied on the street by thugs, but embraced by the displaced community who try to show him the ropes. here is a clip. you get a sense of that kind of bittersweet comedy. what i like about this is that on the one hand it is very sensitive and humane, and it feels real. it feels like a story about a character you can believe in. it also has that aki kaurismaki off—kilter sense of the world. it's laugh out loud funny in some places, when you don't expect it to be. the central character then meets up with a finnish businessmen who decides he will buy a failing restaurant, which he attempts to make work by doing various things. at one point he decides to make it a sushi restaurant, and he doesn't have sushi so they make salted herring instead. there are these absurd moments,

but it's a story about dispossessed people and the way in which strange friendships can be forged. it has beautiful use of music. at one point you get buskers in the street and the blues band in a bar who seem to offer a kind of greek chorus commentary. there's a lovely moment in a migrant reception centre where somebody starts playing a tune which takes a runaway to lost, distant lands. it's beautifully put together, visually crisp and clear in that kind of hyper real style. it's very, very difficult to get that balance between tragedy and comedy, between smiles and tears. but it genuinely manages to do both those things. the funny moments are funny, and the tragic moments are profoundly moving. it's very humane and touching. i think anybody could get on with it. it's a really, really good film. what is best out at the moment? i will say this for the last week, it won't be in cinemas for too much longer.

it's the levelling. i want people to see it on the big screen if they can. it's a story about a young woman who goes back to a family farm where she has unresolved family issues. fantastic performances, beautifully shot, wonderful soundscape, wonderful sound design. you need to see it on the big screen because so much of what's going on is going on in the sound, the sound of the wind, the rain, the farm itself. and you do lose that off the big screen. i think the director is a major talent, she was described as a rising star of tomorrow ten years ago by screen international. it's taken her that long to make this feature film. it's a great piece of work, the levelling. and best dvd? jackie. when i reviewed this the first time round, it took me two viewings to get to grips with it. one of the things i love about it is the score,

which is brilliant. a lot of attention on the central performance. which when i first saw it, i thought it felt strangely stilted, maybe a bit over—theatrical. second time round, i realised it's a film about a woman in a position whereby she has to perform certain roles. and that awkwardness is very deliberate. the theatricality is on purpose. it's a multilayered film. it's not immediately accessible, but it really does, the more you watch it the more you find in it. which is another reason why if you saw it in the cinema and weren't crazy about it, it's worth watching again at home. it stands up on the small screen. ok, mark. thank you so much. you can find all of our previous programmes on the iplayer. and also more online. that's all from us, thank you for watching, goodbye. cabbages rejecting the 20s in some
