why? the dependent is controversy, why? the dependent is also going to change its front—page photo, we've got vladimir putin at the moment. could you talk about the telegraph, please? we'll show it at 11:30pm, let's look at this one now. the sunday telegraph were a bit quicker than us. john, you have had your turn. bold came third. a gentleman called justin gaitlin one and he has been at drugs cheat, hence the controversy. twice he has been banned for using performance enhancing substances, john. and that makes him unpopular with the audience in the stadium. they do keep doing him. maybe he gets a

lifetime advantage from using drugs. but assuming he doesn't, then i think people are entitled to a second chance. if they are the rules and you are allowed to compete again after a while, you can't really... we've got an economist round the table, let's try to do better at 11:30pm. we'll try and find some stories that we think are worth talking about as well, i don't know. that is the papers for this hour. thank you ruth and john, you'll both be back at 11.30pm for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. coming up next, it's the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.

to take us through this week's cinema releases is james king. hello again. hi. what a funny old week! it certainly is. we have valerian and the city of a thousand planets, a mega budget sci—fi from luc besson starring dane dehaan and cara delevingne. england is mine takes a look at the early years of manchester's answer to oscar wilde, smiths front man morrissey. and to quote the man himself, panic on the streets of london, panic on the streets of birmingham. yes, the emoji movie has been let loose onto an unsuspecting british public. be afraid! 0h, lord! let's start with sci—fi. that is an odd week! it is august, people! i read that valerian is possibly the most expensive french film ever? most expensive european film of all time. actually, 20 years ago,

there was a film called the fifth element which luc besson, the same director, had made which did well. at that point, that was the most expensive european film of all time. now it is valerian, with a budget of $200 million, which could not buy neymar, but it is still a lot of money. it is set in the 28th century. it is about a couple of intergalactic secret agents who are investigating strange goings—on at the alpha space station. cara delevingne and dane dehaan star. let's see. 0k. what's the shortest way there? north—north—east, 113 degrees. 60, 70, 80, 90. that leads me straight into a wall. you said you wanted the shortest way. wow. wow, would i be right in saying

you can see the money? well, yeah! you can see the money. but watching it, ijust thought how much has changed in the 20 years since the fifth element. the sci—fi and space movies we have had from people like christopher nolan and jj abrahams with his star trek and star wars movies, and alfonso cuaron and actually, valerian looks expensive, but it looks like an expensive 90s movie. i don't think it looks as elegant and as chic and certainly not as cerebral as the more recent science fiction films we have seen. it actually looks a bit gaudy. we saw it towards the end of that clip. it looks quite gaudy and camp and dare

i say it, quite silly at times. you are allowed to say that! 20 years ago, there was a silliness about the fifth element, but perhaps we were more forgiving. but a lot has changed in that 20 years, so now i am not so sure that luc besson‘s style, and he does have a very distinctive style, feels so of the moment as it did then. and what do you make of cara delevingne? the big question. everyone wants to know that. well, she's clearly very comfortable in front of a screen. she is arguably the world's most famous model, so she looks completely at home. is she, on the evidence of this movie, the new meryl streep? i don't think so. however, she's very young and there is plenty of time for her to improve. i think the leads are not the most charismatic. if you see the trailer, you will see rihanna in the trailer a lot. rihanna is not in the movie that much. that is a bit of a cheat on the part of the marketing. i would have liked to have seen her in it more

and ethan hawke in it more. they are very much supporting characters. if itjust looked really good, cool, i would have forgiven it these problems. all right. we couldn't have anything more different for our second film, england is mine. this is a biopic of morrissey‘s early years in the run up to him meeting johnny marr and forming the smiths. the title is from a smiths song, still ill. it stars jack lowden, who is in dunkirk as well. you might have seen him in dunkirk. he plays an raf pilot. he is tom hardy's colleague in that movie. very good in dunkirk and very good in this as a young morrissey. the downside is that the first half of the film, morrissey is so painfully shy as a teenager that he is virtually mute. so you have a film where you really don't know what is going on in his head because he is such an insular character. and the film really is about him coming out of his shell.

most interestingly, the women in his life encouraging him to come out of his shell, his family and female friends. do you need to be a fan of the smiths to enjoy it or could this be a coming—of—age film? that is certainly what it's trying to be. there are adrian mole—esque elements of it with the nerdy, shy teenager, but also about if you follow your dreams, then they will come true, which perhaps isn't immediately what you think of when thinking of morrissey, but it is there in the movie. the second half is better. that is when he does come out of his shell and becomes more flamboyant. that's when he becomes more interesting. 0k. it's august, children are not at school. you take them to the cinema a lot. even watching the trailerfor the emoji movie made my eyes hurt. do you think morrissey has ever used an emo" signed off a text with a smiley face? i doubt it, somehow. yeah.

in terms of plot, the emoji movie is very convoluted. is there a plot? you can sum it up very simply. it is trying to be the lego movie, desperately, which was a couple of years ago and a huge success critically and commercially. it is about this emoji living in a phone in this emoji city which is very uniform and regimented, but he is different. he wants to prove he is different to everyone else and special and doesn't follow the herd. there is actually a ‘meh' face. do you know what a ‘meh' face is? indifferent, the feeling i had when coming out of valerian. so he is a meh face, but he wants to be more than that. in this clip, we have, i can't believe i am saying this, sir patrick stewart voicing a poop emoji... i can't believe it either! and james corden voicing a high five emoji. let's hear that... you are smooth. just doing my duty. ha ha! what? what did i say? rocket, look at the party!

woohoo! come on, tell me you aren'tjust a little bit tempted. steven, for the last time, i don't want to buy a time share. come on, man, it's high five! you know me, i'm a favourite. it's got to be some sort of mistake. i mean, look at me, i'm an attractive hand giving a high five. fist bump! come on in. hey, ladies. fist bump? he's a knucklehead, literally! look at him. i can look like that! 0w, cramp, huge mistake! ok, i get it. i get it! what age group do you think this is aimed at? young! i would say young and indiscriminating. maybe a first film when you haven't seen anything else. imean... if it were funny... we would forgive it a lot more and of course, the lego movie, mentioned earlier, was very funny. pixar make funny animations. the level of comedy in animations is very high. but i have read a lot about the cynical nature of it and the product placement. because it is not funny, because you are not laughing, you are looking at the downside, which is that it feels very corporate. even though it is supposedly about an emoji who wants to

be an individual, a bit different, actually, what it is selling you are very corporate and mainstream apps and games. so it does feel a bit like an advert as they run around this phone and run to different apps and games. trying to get them young! better children's films are available this summer... i would say so. best out at the moment, the big sick? yes. mentioned this last week. doing very well at the box office, so that is good to see. a romantic comedy about an interracial relationship. also... talking about the smiths... it is also literally about a girlfriend in a coma. the lead female character gets very ill, and it is written by kumail nanjiani and emily gordon. it is their story, the story of how they got together. so even though it is dealing with big topics, it feels very personal and charming. they are happy to tip their hat to richard curtis and judd apatow, who produced the film. i like romantic comedies when they are

done well. we are often a bit down on them as a genre, but when done well, they are incredibly charming. i am pleased that they are celebrating how good romantic comedies can be. perhaps why it's doing well! if you want to sit on the sofa instead, what is your recommendation? free fire, from ben wheatley, co—written with his regular partner. he works across different genres, comedy and crime and dystopian sci—fi, but actually in all of his movies, there is this great feeling that things are about to go pear shaped. things are about to kick off, literally in this film, because it is about a meeting in the 70s in this disused warehouse in boston that goes wrong. it is a meeting between gangsters and arms dealers, and it is very tense and nerve—wracking and then the free fire of the title kicks in. it is notjust a shoot ‘em up, though. there are great actors in this. brie larson, cillian murphy.

it harks back to gutsy 70s action films. martin scorsese actually is the executive producer of this film and it does have that gutsy, dirty feel about it that we had in the 70s. james, thanks very much. see you next week! thank you very much indeed. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going if you can. as we said, quite a varied bunch. see you next time. bye bye. good evening. compared with today's downpours, the evening and night looks relatively quiet. most will have a try and clear night and a chilly one. the decrease over this

time of year. temperatures holding up time of year. temperatures holding up in the towns and city, double figures, but in the countryside, they will it down‘ is. the crisp start tomorrow morning but a bright one but it won't last. again, cloud and showery rain arriving northern ireland quickly, west of scotland, north—west england by the end of the morning. further east, client bright with increasing cloud, not too bad in north—east scotland and it batters up in the afternoon across northern ireland. a keen trees and quite a bit of cloud makes it feel cruel. —— cool. see you later. this is bbc world news. our top stories: a shock defeat for usain bolt in his

last race before retirement. he thanked london four years of support. i could never expect this from any other crowd. they push me to do my best and i really appreciate it. the un votes unanimously in favour of new and tougher sanctions against north korea after last month's long—range missile tests. police in italy say a british model was drugged and kidnapped in milan to be sold in an on line auction. they arrested a 30 year old polish man. five people have died in italy and romania after a record—breaking heatwave.
