who can actually g var tin wm hrfl— it"ui‘ii someone who can actually handle that department. i think david lidington isa department. i think david lidington is a possibility. james brokenshire has experience of immigration. i think sajid javid would be an interesting symbolic appointment... is the prime minister brave enough to do that symbolism? yes... it does not have a huge amount of experience in running a department either. not have a huge amount of experience in running a department eitheri think she realises that the home office is such an appalling department to have to run. i think she will go for the safest pair of hands she can find. i thinkjames brokenshire and david lidington would be safe hands. sajid javid, possibly, i respect him, have a lot of time for him, but i suspect he has not quite got that weight. the other thing, apart from thinking who has got the weight, the experience, the safe pair of hands, is how can i avoid destabilising or reshuffling so avoid destabilising or reshuffling so much of my cabinet that i create more uncertainty? that is it. theresa may did not want to have a

reshuffle at this stage. this delicate stage. we are just about to enter the most difficult stage of the brexit negotiations. and she has previously put a premium on minimising the number of moves she makes in her ministers. we will see more tomorrow. we will hopefully get an answer on the next home secretary. it is kind of you both, when i first saw you this evening we we re when i first saw you this evening we were not expecting to roll in the way we did. thinking we were going to be talking about sainsbury. nice stuff about korea. that will come back as a story. now it's time for the film review. 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? very interesting week. we have beast, a psychological thriller set on jersey. we have avengers: infinity war, the latest in the mcu series. and the wound, a coming—of—age movie with a difference. i love the sound of beast, i love a psychological thriller. it is set onjersey, it has a central performance byjessie buckley, who plays this young woman called moll, living under the thumb of her domineering mother, played by geraldine james, with a hint of anxiety, as if she is partly frightened of her daughter. anyway, our heroine meets this young man, played by johnny flynn, called pascal, a wild character, a vagabond, and immediately the family take against him. plus, the rest of the community are very suspicious of him, but she falls in love with him, and he sparks in a rebellious spirit that has hitherto

been kept under wraps. here is a clip. i'm sorry, sir, butjeans aren't allowed in the clubhouse. it's the club dress code. but they're blackjeans! i'm sorry. maybe the burger, then. yeah. hubbub. i'd like to make a toast. to my family. for everything you've done for me. i forgive you. thud. get out!

what i really like about this film, you can see from this the palpable tension, and, secondly, there has been a string of murders on the island, and the finger of suspicion points towards pascal, obviously johnny flynn's character, who moll believes is innocent, because she is in love, because he is manipulative, or is it because she has dark secrets in our past? the best way of describing this is that it is kind of like a twisted fairy tale. the title itself alludes to beauty and the beast, and there is an echo of la bete from 1975, which was banned for ages in this country. and there is a little touch of regarde la mer, see the sea, about bright coastal settings with a murderous underbelly, all those things mixed together, and the best thing is you are kept guessing all the way through as to the characters' motives. which one of them is the monster?

the title of beast is not specifically applied to any of them. and it really manages that knife—edge balance, a really difficult trick to pull off, sometimes you can do it in the first act, but this manages all the way through, the central performances are brilliant. the chemistry is good. really, people talk about chemistry on screen, there is real electricity in this pairing. it is really well written, a debut feature for michael pearce, keeps you on the edge of your seat, and it has a timeless fairy—tale quality. you kind of know the story, a princess rescued by a prince, or is he the beast leading her into the woods? it works really well, thejersey interiors are very good, the interiors largely from surrey, but it works well, you get a sense of two worlds colliding. terrific, really good, exciting

film, beast, well worth seeing. ok, avengers: infinity war — i am told there are no fewer than 22 superheroes in this movie! a few too many? everything about the movie is vast, i should say that people have been saying don't give away plot spoilers, we won't. the setup is that thanos is gathering the infinity stones together to wipe out half the universe, a group of superheroes must get together to stop him, that is all you need to say about the plot. everything is huge, from the canvas to the amount of characters, to what is at stake, the entire future of the universe, to the running time of the movie itself, not a short film! and the amount of money it will doubtless take at the box office. here is the thing. if you are a fan of this particular cinematic universe, if you are invested in these characters and followed them through the series so far, you will really like this. things will surprise you, make you gasp, make you cheer. in the screening i was in,

there were all those reactions. however, if you are not particularly invested — and hands up, i have seen all the films but they are not great personally resonant — you may end up thinking this is long, episodic. it does balance light and dark, there is tragedy and comedy, although occasionally it felt like channel hopping. there is one section, then another, and they don't intertwine. the film—makers have done a good job ofjuggling disparate elements. the overriding problem for me is one of consequence, which is that i struggled to invest in the most dramatically dangerous moments. i know other people who have watched the movie who did not have that same feeling. i think it comes down to whether or not you are a fan. i'm guessing you're probably not a huge devotee of this series. no — but i do like superhero movies. the film makes very few concessions to people who are not right in the middle of it. if you can't make this movie

for the fans, which can you? i thought it was impressive, although i remained unengaged, but i know enough people who are invested in those characters who absolutely loved it and thought it took real risks. we have got to move on to the wound, what is it? a south african drama. a young man is sent by his father to take part in a ritual, which takes place in a remote mountain, you have to live in a hut and learn to be a man, an initiation ritual. his father is sending him because he thinks his son is soft, and also because he is starting to have anxieties about his sexuality. here is a clip. so the rest of the film takes place in this encampment where the ritual takes place, and it becomes a film about manhood and initiation and coming of age, what it means to be a man, sexuality, love, what is demanded of you by your elders and society, about honesty and frankness. some people have made the comparison to brokeback mountain,

which i understand, although i think it is slightly off the money. the thing ifound interesting was that it evokes a world with which i was completely unfamiliar, and it tells a story which feels universal, and that is a really clever thing to do — a story which is very specific about its setting and its circumstances, and yet it allows every viewer, i think, to recognise universal truths in what is happening. as i said, it is a coming—of—age movie, which is one of the most popular of cinematic genres, yet it is taking real risks, doing things that are daring, doing them well, with great honesty, and ifound it very moving, very moving, and it balances realism on the one hand with a timeless quality on the other, almost magical quality, very good. and best out? the old dark house, a reissue of an old film from the 1930s, which was believed lost, it has been restored, and it is really worth seeing, not least because james whale is an extraordinary director.

i remember people talking about this as a masterpiece, but it is not in circulation anymore. the thing that it does is it is travellers, they wind up at an old dark house, they shouldn't go in, but they do, the floorboards creak, there are monsters on the loose. what it does is establishes and satirises a number of horror film conventions, and it is a remarkable thing to see it back in cinemas in a spanking new print, so well worth checking out, the old dark house, from the 1930s. and your best dvd? if hostiles, i really like hostiles, not seen by enough people in the cinemas, a story about an army captain who has to take his archenemy back to a tribal homeland, brilliant performances, but it has a terrific soundtrack by max richter, which uses an instrument of which there was only one when they made it in the world, and it produces the most unearthly sounds, extraordinary thing, and it is one of those movies...

you can watch it with your ears. it is called hostiles, it was not seen enough in cinemas, but i think it is a really impressive piece of work. watch it with your ears, i like that! a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, though. thanks for watching. goodbye. weather has been getting a little colder across eastern england now for a number of days but tomorrow is going to be the coldest of all for show. a band of rain working in with

gale force winds across the east coast, and it's the wind and rain that will not just coast, and it's the wind and rain that will notjust make it feel cold, it really will be cold. normally at this time of year we expect the sea temperatures up to about 15 across south—east england. however, underneath this persistent area of rain, so not all areas, but if you are under the rain band, temperatures hovering about four degrees, so it will be a cold one. chiefly affecting east anglia and south—east england. tightly packed isobars telling you it will be a windy day here. further north and west, clear skies, and temperatures have already dipped below freezing ina number of have already dipped below freezing in a number of spots. a cold night for sure with that frost developing in towns and cities, but the cloud keeping temperatures above towards eastern areas. we start the day cold across northern and western areas. a decent day in many areas, dry weather with sunshine, but you can see how the cloud thickens into central and southern england until

we reach this persistent band of rain across east anglia and the south—east. gale force winds across the coast and 25 to 35mm is of rain could bring localised flooding across this part of the world. it will be a cold afternoon as well. in the west, where we see the sunshine coming out, temperatures should reach double figures, but again a few showers in scotland. that low pressure is out into the north sea. a ridge of high pressure follows the tuesday, meaning at least for a time the weather will cheer up and we will see some sunshine. further west, the next weather front in off the atlantic, bringing some rain to northern ireland, and that finishes across western scotland, northern england and wales through the afternoon. temperatures still on the cool side for the time of year that slowly improving. that rain pushes eastwards overnight. quite slow to clear away from central and eastern england but eventually the wednesday most of us will see some sunshine as the rain clears through. showers in the rain clears through. showers in the north—west, likely to be heavy and thundery, temperatures between

ten and 14, but after quite a chilly start to the way, i've got better news. towards the end of the week on the weekend, temperatures are set to improve. in london, should be pushing into the low 20s. as we go through the weekend, the weather becoming dry with some spells of sunshine as well. but tomorrow, for eastern england, a really cold day. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: the us says there's a "real opportunity" for a deal with north korea's leader but he must take irreversible steps to get rid of his nuclear weapons. we are not naive in the administration and a lot of will ride on this meeting with kim jong—un. a key british minister resigns amid claims she misled parliament over targets for removing illegal immigrants. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme: rohingya protesters demanding the right to return to myanmar greet visiting un ambassadors who are due to meet the burmese leader aung san suu kyi.
