there is also been a disorders, but there is also been a rise for women, as well? you think there is a culture now where men feel that they can come, or rather, they now can recognise that they have an eating disorder, but also there is a confidence now where you can talk about mental health issues as well? it is an equality in both senses in terms of, i mean, this is a commercial imperative. we have seen huge great corporations see how much money has been made at persuading women that the product they were told six months ago is absolutely intrinsic to any kind of cosmetic beauty or public appeal, and they realise there is also money to be made by encouraging men. the days of a shellac of brill cream are long gone. as tony said, a huge downside is that now men are realising just what is involved, the

cost we pay is huge if you are not robust. not everybody looks ahead billboard, and of easily some are more sensitive than others to those messages. calls for roads to be close to allow children to play in the streets. calls for roads to be close to allow children to play in the streetsm says that pilot schemes increase youngsters activities. this is around childhood obesity and also parents need more cautious. i am not sure how motorists will react. but roads are notjust sure how motorists will react. but roads are not just for motorists. this is the antidote, one of potential the context of what we have discussed. how it used to be. many thanks for taking us through the papers. and thanks to you for

watching. next is the film review. goodbye. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, i'm joined by james king, while mark takes a summer break. welcome, james. great to see you. what have you been watching this week? first up, it feels like ages since there has been a new, fresh, romantic comedy. well, there's one out this weekend. it is called the the big sick and i will tell you about that. from australia, hounds of love, this is a brutal true story, a kidnap drama. and a big hit in the states, this one, it stars queen latifah and is a comedy called girls trip. now, probably no one has missed

all the publicity for the big sick. really interesting interviews everywhere with the actor, the writer. this is a really interesting take. does it work as a film? yes, there is a lot to say about it. first, you can see on the poster, kumail nanjiani is the writer and the star and it's written it with his partner, emily gordon, about their life, how they got together, the real—life romance. the big difference between them is kumail is originally from pakistan, moved to chicago with his family, quite a traditional pakistani muslim family, whereas emily is white american, from this academic and eccentric family. that is the chalk and cheese dynamic that every good romantic comedy needs. yes. that is at the centre of it but then people are saying, why is it called the big sick? there is also an illness which happens to one of the characters as well. there's a lot happening in the film, a lot of story. the clip is from the beginning of the movie. kumail is trying to make it

as a stand—up comedian and he meets emily, played by zoe kazan, for the first time. hi. hi, hello. my name's kumail. we know. we saw you perform. now that the niceties are out of the way, i have to tell you that when you yelled at me, it really threw me off. you really should not heckle comedians, it's so rude. i did not heckle you. i just woo—hooed you, it's supportive. that's a common misconception. yelling anything at a comedian is considered heckling. it does not have to be negative. so if i yelled out, like, "you are amazing in bed", that would be a heckle? yeah, that would be an accurate heckle. whoa! goodbye. i'm going. you have scared my friend off now. already, it is endearing, isn't it? i think kumail and emily, the writers, are inspired by the greats. they've said they were inspired by richard curtis, annie hall

and tootsie so if you are inspired by those movies, that is a good start. tootsie is one of my favourite films! absolutely. what was really good about it, a lot of people have said, is this some statement about the politics of america and racial relations in america right now but it is not. it is a personal story, not a political story. it is a true story about two people getting together. it is a lovely personal story. is there anything new in talking about interracial couples, which doesn't get talked about a lot? absolutely. that is a refreshing thing about this film, it is in there but it is not trying to make a larger statement. it is just about what happened to them. this is what happened to them. it is very charming. he's in it, he wrote it, he stars in it but it is not too self—serving, it's more affectionate than that? absolutely, it is very affectionate and there's a lovely relationship between kumail and emily's parents, holly hunter and ray romano. ray romano, i know from a sitcom and one of the voices in ice age.

i didn't really expect him to be as good as he is. you can see him there. in this comedy is really showing us he is a good actor as well. i think he could be possibly up for some awards for this performance. i love holly hunter. she is just going for it! she isjust nuts in this and brilliantly so. fantastic. how lovely to go into the summer after a hard year with something genuinely fun and uplifting. we have not had a new, fresh romantic comedy for a while. people seems to think we know all the tropes, we know how they work, all the cliches but this actually, it has a romantic comedy framework but it is doing new things. our next film from australia. i'll put it out there, i have read lots about it but i know i could not stomach it. talk us through it and explain. explain why some people like me may be rather queasy. again, loosely based on a true story, at least, about the moorhouse murders which happened in perth in western australia

in the mid—‘80s, where a suburban couple were kidnapping teenage girls. i suppose what is really gripping and interesting about this film is that it is not some exploitative horror movie. it is actually a character study of this couple who do this and why they do it and what is going on in their heads. specifically, the wife, emma booth, whose character is called evelyn, who she is and what has gone on in her past and why she is in this situation and does what she does. that stops itjust being about cardboard cutouts, just a gory movie. it's interesting because it is actually about the characters, these three—dimensional characters, the kidnappers and one of the girls they kidnap. they all have their own stories and real depth to them. it's really well made. this is the first film from ben young and he really captures suburban australian life very well, disillusionment and a kitchen sink drama, really. it is brutal and tough to watch,

of course, but very well made. ok, i hear you and that he might be a talent to watch but i am not sure i have the stomach for that. but girls trip, on the other hand, takes us back into the world of nice summer films. definitely back into the lighter territory! we've got queen latifah in this, jada pinkett smith, tiffany haddish, regina hall, four college friends who go to new orleans for the weekend and chaos ensues. have a look at the clip. terrific. i'm happy freaknik lisa is back. hey, right! too bad all that pent—up energy is going to waste. mmmm. 0h! what was that, sasha? what was that you were saying about pent—up energy? you texted him? idid.

never doubt a boss. you get some, girl! # i slay, i slay, i slay all day #. have a good evening, ladies. you, too. yes! is itfun? is it a bit silly? it is all of those things, definitely silly and funny. it has a sort of relentless joie de vivre, a bubbliness and bawdiness about it. it was pretty difficult to find a clip we could play out. what is most interesting about it, and this is what people are picking up on, its characters are four contemporary, successful, confident black woman and you do not have enough of those movies. not nearly enough. it is not an oscars movie, it's not an issues movie. tt is joyfully frothy and silly which is why it is refreshing. it is a bit predicatably clunky at times but this effervescence carries it along. we will definitely see

more movies like this. it has been a big hit in the states and this will change things. that is interesting because i was thinking how much i enjoyed hidden figures. then i'm thinking it's bad that i even think that because that is the last time i watched a film that focused on african american women. you think that and you think my goodness, the fact that even resonates with you shows what a paucity there is of that sort of film. absolutely, and hidden figures is great but it is the oscar—worthy serious movie. this is justjoyfully not like that. it is deliberately frothy and flimsy and everyone is having fun and that is the real novelty. it is there to give you a good time, as is for younger viewers, captain underpants, which mark was raving about last week. oh good, that is good to hear. this is out now. i could've chosen dunkirk but everyone has said how great dunkirk is, i do not need to add to that, although i think it is.

captain underpants, not a christopher nolan movie, i think it's fair to say. it's a dreamworks animation, based on the bestselling books. a couple of best mates hypnotise the school principal into believing he is this superhero called captain underpants. it is just zany, silly and nonstop. it is a bit knowing, has that knowing wink, that self—reflexive quality that adults like. if you just want some jokes about pants, though, there's loads ofjokes about pants. whoopee cushion humour, i read. i love that phrase. yes. the main antagonist is called professor poopypants. i mean, come on! yes, that says it all, that is all we need to know. for anyone who wants to stay in this week what movie have you picked out for us? i'm going to choose life which is a sci—fi film about astronauts bringing back a martian life form to earth. the life form starts out as a single cell organism but then grows into something much more intimidating. immediately when you watch this, you're thinking alien and ridley scott and there's a lot of similarites. it is not as good but a lot of similarities.

it's mainly set in a spaceship. i would say watch it forjake gyllenhaal, who's probably the main star, with rebecca ferguson and ryan reynolds. jake gyllenhaal always brings this melancholy to what he does. his character is really interesting, does and says some really interesting things. it is familiar as a science—fiction movie but jake gyllenhaal makes it something more than run—of—the—mill. 0k, thank you very much. i like him as well. see you next week, james, good to have you with us. thank you very much indeed. that is it for this week. whatever you're seeing, enjoy. quite a variety this week. see you next week. hello there. over the next couple of days fewer showers and hopefully more sunshine. lots of showers around today. a month were the rain

in devon lee. this thickening cloud from the irish sea bringing more downpours back into wales, northern england and scotland. intensity easing overnight. a lot of showers in northern ireland. clearer skies towards the south—east. quite a bit of sunshine across england and wales. many places dry. passing showers across wales and northern england but not as widespread. pause likely across scotland and northern ireland with hail and thunder. sunshine towards the south—east feeling quite warm. this idea of the showers dampening down, not as many, not as heavy. cloud and rain coming in from the south—west reaching northern and eastern parts of the uk

later in the day. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: a show of strength from the united states after another ballistic missile test by north korea. security is stepped up at airports across australia after a plot to blow up a plane is uncovered. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: more violence in venezuela, during controversial elections for a new assembly, to change the constitution. a pioneering programme in china to bring love and hope to some of the country's millions of children needing special, end of life care.
