0k. it's quite an impressive set, though, isn't it? you were an overnight success, you could argue, at fifty—ish. although they may look the same. bryan cra nston became an international superstar in the hit tv show breaking bad. playing walter white, a chemistry teacher who becomes a drug—dealing criminal. breaking bad was a phenomenal experience for me. it changed my life completely. and here he is in another life—changing role. i'm as mad as hell and i'm not going to take it any more! in the national theatre's stage adaptation of the 1970s film network, in which his character loses it on air and becomes a ratings sensation. in the ‘70s it was clearly a satire. network in 2017 is no longer a satire. it is profound and it is what we are living in.

this inundation of information is not necessarily a good thing. that our children can access not only horrific acts of real violence on their cellphone, but pornography. anything and everything is accessible now. it's not good for society. it's starting to feel like a dark age in hollywood. is there a way back for the weinsteins and spaceys of this world? if they were to show us that they put the work in and are truly sorry, and making amends, and not defending their actions, but asking for forgiveness, then maybe down the road there is room for that. character transformation is becoming a theme of bryan cranston‘s

late career as a star of stage and screen. from crystal—meth—cooking teachers to mad—as—hell newscasters. will gompertz, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here's evan davis. on august 30th this year, a massacre occurred in a village called tula toli, in mynamar. our team has been piecing together what happened that day. the testimony they've acquired makes a disturbing film, but an important one. join me now on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday i'm hugh woozencroft. the main headlines. italy will miss their first world cup in over 50 years after sweden hold them to a draw in milan. penalty practice makes perfect. england manager gareth southgate thinks his players must learn how to ‘execute under pressure'. and top seed rafa nadal saves four

match points as he takes his first match at the atp world tour finals in london into a deciding set. many of the fans of home nations will know how it feels to miss out on an international tournament, a major tournament. next year's world cup in russia will be the first since 1958 not to feature a team from italy. that's after their 0—0 draw at home to sweden saw them lose their world cup play off to sweden 1—0 on aggregate. this anthem has been heard at every

world cup since 1962. even the vetera n world cup since 1962. even the veteran keeper gianluigi buffon wasn't born then. sweden had a 1—0 advantage from the first leg. the italians normally get the job done but they are lacking in sparkle this year. some said that a world cup without there would be unthinkable but the swedish keeper robin olsen had a thing or two to say about that. sending buffon forward for a late corner was the last in a series of unsuccessful ideas. italy's time was up. sweden on their way to russia. not spectacular but they won't forget this night in milan in a hurry. and for different reasons, nor will their hosts. it means that the captain gianluigi buffon retires from international football after 176 caps. he was on tears —— in tea rs 176 caps. he was on tears —— in tears on the pitch afterwards.

well, the republic of ireland have the chance to achieve what northern ireland couldn't, two nights ago. martin o'neill‘s men face denmark in the second leg of their world cup qualifying playoff at the aviva stadium tomorrow night. and it's all to play for after the first leg ended in a goalless draw. i think we will try to be a bit more expensive if we can, deal with the ball a bit better. we're going to try and win the game. we have to find a way to win the match. these players have been able to do that. martin o'neill‘s team trying to join gareth southgate's england in the world cup. now the world cup may be eight months away but england manager gareth southgate is already planning for the possibility of penalty shootouts when the squad are in russia next year. southgate says his team need to learn how to ‘execute under pressure', believing his country's poor record in international

tournaments, including his own penalty miss in the euro 96 finals, comes down to understanding the situation. clearly it's something that we are looking at very closely. we have to have a plan for that. we can put players into prussia scenarios, which generally i think is good —— prussia scenarios. frankly we have to be good enough to get to that stage. penalties haven't knocked us out of the last two tournaments. first and foremost we have to make sure we have a clear way of playing, that everyone knows their roles and responsibilities and under pressure in the 90, 120 minutes, that we can adapt to that. world number one rafa nadal is into a deciding set in his opening match at the atp world tour finals. the 16 time grand slam champion lost the first set 7—6 to 7th seed david goffin and then saved four match points in the second set before forcing a decider thanks to a tie break. nadal is guaranteed to finish

the year as the world's top player even if he extends his curious record of never winning the season—ending event. he trails 4—1 in the deciding set. grigor dimitrov overcame the nerves in his atp world tour finals debut, but he still managed to beat austria's dominic thiem in three dramatic sets on his atp finals debut. the bulgarian number six seed battled through, 6—3, 5—7, 7—5 in the opening round robin match in the pete sampras group. england head coach eddiejones has apologised for swearing on tv, after receiving a telling off from his 93—year—old mother. jones admitted to being frustrated by his side's lacklustre performance at twickenham, and was caught on camera "losing his cool" during saturday's 21—8 win over argentina. normally i'm pretty good and i apologise from the lag —— for the

language used. i got a phone call from my 93—year—old mother wrapping me on the knuckles, i'm in trouble with my mother. that's a big enough punishment for me. i'm in the doghouse and i certainly won't do it again. six months ago we brought you the story of matthew bryce, who was stranded at sea for two days after his surfing trip went disastrously wrong. matthew almost died, and was rescued 13 miles off the coast of northern ireland, vowing never to surf again. well, time is a great healer, and matthew has decided he's ready to get back in the water. alex gulrajani has been to meet him. a moment matthew brice thought would never happen again. a moment matthew brice thought would never happen againli a moment matthew brice thought would never happen again. i knew i was going to die, it wasn't a question, it was a fact. lucky to be alive, that's how belfast coastguard have described a surfer who was rescued last night. he was picked up 13 miles off the argyll coast.

last night. he was picked up 13 miles off the argyll coasti last night. he was picked up 13 miles off the argyll coast. i was convinced i wouldn't see the sunrise. i'd totally given up, i'd resigned myself to the fact that i was going to die. i'm sitting here in the dark, i can't describe how cruel. it's not like he went out for a snowball fight and your hands are cold. it's like life is being sapped. six months on, matthew is ready to get back into the water. any fear or apprehension he has had has been replaced by pure excitement. how you doing? excited, i'm going to go in now. i'm going to jump i'm going to go in now. i'm going to jump in, i am i'm going to go in now. i'm going to jump in, lam buzzing. i'm going to go in now. i'm going to jump in, i am buzzing. cheering with the support of his friends he was back where he once said he'd never go again, on a surfboard. how cool was it, going out there? never go again, on a surfboard. how coolwas it, going out there? nice to see him on the water, keeping his

passion going. eventually he even found his feet. not bad for six months away. a couple of points where i was getting tossed around in the water and i thought, hang on, but it's fine. and reunited with the surfboard that saved his life. this surfboard, matthew, must mean a lot to you? it's special for me. i can never get over this. if i'd lost it, ifi never get over this. if i'd lost it, if i hadn't got back to it, if the leash had snapped, i would have died. it was the only thing keeping me safe. i'll always keep it. but there are no plans to hang it up yet. in fact the ocean is calling for the matthew and his friends will be back in the sea this weekend, determined not to give up on his passion. i want to go and you know, live as much as i possibly can. i

hope to god i'm not going to experience that again. i'd never wish it on anyone either. if i can ta ke wish it on anyone either. if i can take any positives, if i can get a message to people, be safe, go out with friends, don't be serving alone, don't be recklessly me. i think some good can come from it. great to see matthew back out on the water. rafael nadal has a break back in london and the world tour finals. next, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political

commentator daisy mcandrew and the former trade minister lord digbyjones. welcome to you both. thanks for being with us. tomorrow's front pages. the daily mail has a headline about the prime minister's guildhall speech where she accused the vladimir putin regime of influencing the west. the ft says theresa may has "bowed to pressure" from her pro—europe colleagues by offering parliament a full vote on the final brexit deal. the metro reports on another westminster sexual harassment allegation. daisy goodwin, creator of itv drama victoria claims that a government official groped her breast when she was on a visit to no 10. the express newspaper's lead is that the cost of a care home place is rising at the fastest rate on record. the telegraph also has the announcement that parliament will get a binding vote on the final eu divorce deal. and the i talks about the threat from russia, highlighted by the

prime minister. the daily mirror leads with richard ratcliffe, whose wife nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is imprisoned in iran. he has reportedly told the foreign secretary to fix the mess he has caused and bring his wife back to the uk. the guardian claims tory rebels are not satisfied with the announcement that they will be given announcement that they will be given a vote on the final brexit deal. let's kick off. we're going to start with claims on the front pages of quite a few of the papers. this is daisy goodwin, the tv writer who created the kit, victoria, saying she was groped at number ten downing st. on the front of many papers. she wrote it in the radio times but the papers have got hold of it. she's alleging that she was summoned to a meeting at downing street not by a politician but by an aide who worked there to discuss a broadcasting idea

that they had had and while they we re that they had had and while they were in this private meeting, he put his feet up on her chair, told how great she looked and as they left, groped her breast. c has written here and said that she was firstly shocked, but felt fully able to deal with it and said, what do you think you're doing, i think you did something inappropriate, and stormed out. she writes quite wittily about it but she says it didn't occur to her to report it and she didn't feel that she'd been violated or anything like that but she thought afterwards, should i have said something, because it wasn't acceptable. just because it didn't make her burst into tears and be very upset, is the kind of thing that shouldn't be allowed to be gotten away with and i think she has a good point. whether this chap remains anonymous after this. we know that everybody working in westminster is going to be digging

around trying to work out who it is. i wouldn't be surprised if everyone doesn't know who it is now. it is the latest saga in the so—called pestminster scandal. it is an allegation, it may be right or wrong, we should make that clear. but on the other
