gender pay gap is far more new ends. women in the uk between the ages of 20 and 40 are earning the same as their male counterparts but when they become mothers... people will be having a sharp in take a breath saying that is not true... rather than talking about the nuances... darwinism. yes. if you choose to cherry pick the evidence, you can justify any argument. it might be this particular individual has not been successful in his career... i am assuming it is him. it sounds a little bit. and maybe angry. we think this is not the best context from which to make an argument about a highly complicated issue. from which to make an argument about a highly complicated issuem from which to make an argument about a highly complicated issue. it has

left google with a bit of a problem having to explain this. maybe something good would come of it. having to explain this. maybe something good would come of itm is an absolute nightmare. they have a lot of infuriated employees who have these nasty manifesto against them. not in any company but in the tech industry which have even a wider pay gaps. i am all out of outrage. i need a rest. that's the papers for the night... just because lam papers for the night... just because i am female. laughter go to our website for more details. i am even wearing the right colour. great to have you here. thank you very much, the film review is coming up next. 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, 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 trailer for the emoji movie made my eyes hurt. do you think morrissey has ever used an emoji? 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. hello there. monday brings us a day

of mixed fortunes in terms of the weather. we have got a fairly slow—moving weather front to start the day across the south—west of england, through wales, the midlands as well. that will edge its way slowly south but i think the far south—east largely dry with some sunshine and improvement further north for the likes of wales and northern england. a dry day with one oi’ northern england. a dry day with one or two light showers. more sunshine than we saw during sunday. scotland and northern ireland will see a mix of sunshine and scattered showers. temperatures between 18 and 21 degrees. through monday evening this weather front in the south will nudge its way further north and rain returns to wales and the midlands through the early hours of tuesday morning. clear and fresh to the north of that with a few scattered showers around. matter and dry and the south—east but we could well see some heavy showers cropping up across south—east parts of england later on tuesday. rain continuing across the south—west of england and wales, at the midlands, to the north of that sunny spells and scattered showers and temperatures 15 to 20

degrees. i'm mariko 0i, in singapore, the headlines: china urges north korea to get smart and stop its nuclear missile tests, hours after the un votes for new sanctions. myanmar accuses the un of exaggeration and rejects claims of human rights abuses against rohingya muslims. i'm babita sharma, in london. also in the programme: a warning that too much time online is as bad for children as junk food — how worried should parents be? and forget the world athletics championships, these hens are preparing for some tough competition. live from our studios in singapore and london, this is bbc world news — it's newsday.
