to reduce the level of drug use and violence in jails within a year. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the united states, this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. now on bbc news, it's time for the film review with jane hill and jason solomons. hello, and a warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. hi, jason — what have you been watching? hi,jane. well, this week, an uptight ewan mcgregor gets a surprise visit from some familiar furry flying friends. he's with hayley atwell. there's more to come

in disney's christopher robin. there's a love letter from one film—maker to another, as mark cousins addresses his hero orson welles in a documentary called the eyes of orson welles, which is inspired by finding a treasure trove of 0rson welles' never—before—seen sketches and drawings. and the boss is back, just in time for the football — denzel washington pops up with the equalizer 2. he is on a vengeful mission, and you don't want to get in his way. i wouldn't argue with him! start with christopher robin... only a pg, and i am fascinated about whether this is really children's film for summer? what is this? ijust came from a screening where there were children there with their merchandise, thinking, "great, i am going see a winnie—the—pooh movie — how cute." they're not. ah, they're not. what they will see is very cute. he is famously a bear of little brain, but this is a movie of very big heart.

it stars ewan mcgregor as an adult christopher robin, though i stress not the real christopher robin, referring to a film earlier this year called goodbye, christopher robin, about the rather miserable life that the real christopher robin had. this christopher robin is miserable, working in post—war london for a luggage firm. he has too much work on his plate, he can't spend enough time with his wife, hayley atwell, and his child madeline — played by a brilliantly—named child british actress, bronte carmichael — very posh. she's very good, though, as well. he's very stressed out and can't work out what is happening at work, and he gets a visit from a childhood friend, which might make him lighten up for the weekend... 0h. what to do, what to do, what to do... what to do indeed. pooh? christopher robin. no! no, no, no...

you can't be here. mm. this can't be happening. the stress. it's not stress. god, i'm stressed. it's pooh. i'm so exhausted. madelaine warned me! i like to be warmed. warmed and cosy. i've cracked! i've totally cracked. i don't see any cracks. a few wrinkles, maybe. is that pooh with an american accent? am i mishearing that? he always has an american accent, pooh, because he's voiced by the famous actor, jim cummings, who always does pooh and tigger as well, you remember tigger — "the wonderful thing about tiggers, their bottoms are made out of springs..."? and he does the song, don't worry. thank goodness. and also eeyore has an american accent, and if you remember that film with mark wahlberg, ted, with the swearing, smoking bear, this is kind of the pg version of that. the characters are there,

but as you see they're sort of furry characters, and it's about handing things on to the next generation. and here we see madeline having a tea party on the train with the characters as they try to come to london to try to make herfather have a nice time, to remember the childish things he'd put away when he was so very young. it's that kind of lesson. we get that in disney movies, in films like elf, where the father has to remember what it was like to be young. but we want this to be as good as paddington, that's the trouble, which is brilliant. yes, there's a sort of influx of furriness going on on the streets of london right now. this isn't paddington. a lot of nods to paddington, and even a part for some of the people who were in paddington — some voice cast, the voice of peter capaldi as rabbit here. it's very strange. i actually thought it was rather sweet and it kind of worked, but it is a very odd concoction, and i also have no idea whom it's for, because it

isn't really for kids — it is for grown—up kids who can't put away childish things, which actually strikes me very much as disney's core audience right now because they are the ones doing superheroes and star wars. it's for that age group as well, trying to remember what it was like to be young. ok, so it sounds like a curious mixture. curiouser and curiouser. said alice. and you're bringing a documentary as your second choice? yes, mixing things up. this one is certainly for film fans. citizen kane was voted the number one film six decades in a row, the best film ever made. orson welles is often cited as the best film—maker ever. certainly in terms of images. well, mark cousins, a well—known film historian, who worked at the bbc, he discovered a treasure trove of orson welles' sketches and he got them out and realised what we see in the sketches often translated into his films, such as touch of evil, which we are seeing here, which starred a great orson welles performance. it's a beautiful love letter to cinema. it is also very pretentious, which is what you want from mark cousins —

i wouldn't want it any other way! very esoteric, but you also learn a whole lot about what cinema can do, how it connects to the world, the shapes and motifs it can trigger. a real cineast‘s trove, as opening up that trove must have been for mark cousins, and finding clues to orson welles, what he calls his visual thinking. we often say that the eyes are the keys to the soul, but here they're sort of saying the paintings are the keys to orson welles' visual soul. he famously never finished films, orson welles, always arguing with the studios about money. what would he have made now with the internet and the free technology we have? he might have ended up finishing films. it is fascinating and absolutely beautiful and i loved every second, but again it is not for everyone. all right. is this for everyone, the equalizer 2? do you remember the first one? it is well documented i'm not good with violence, so i'm thinking this is not really my territory! denzel, however, is an expert. i love denzel washington...

well, i love him, but... i'd pay to see him read out the phone book, to be honest with you. yes. the first one, i remember very little about it except that he worked in the american equivalent of bm). so he now has a job driving the american equivalent of uber, in boston, ferrying people around, but he also kind of rights wrongs — he is indeed the equalizer. but he perceives the moral rectitude of what he's doing. here he is, taking some revenge and wrath out on some arrogant bankers who have mistreated one of his clients. how you doing? i'm the, ah, lift driver that you called to take home your girlfriend. not a girlfriend, man. 0h. credit card wasn't valid. come in. there you go. mm. pay yourself whatever, and give yourself a nice tip. thank you. you're not going to ask me if she got home 0k? this is the point where usually i'd give you a chance to do the right thing — but not tonight. tonight i'm going to need your cameras, cellphones, anything you might have used

to record what you did to her. you knocked on the wrong door tonight, pops. come here. ok, so that's the general gist? he does that a lot? a lot, and he's very good at it. he is 63, denzel washington, and i don't know why he does it. the central plot is to do with his cia handler. of course, he is a former cia assassin working as a taxi driver. he comes out of retirement to help her and track down why she has been killed, and it goes right to the top, one of those conspiracies, except it doesn't and ends up in a hurricane, she gets killed, and of course, who killed her? it ends up on the coast,

for no reason at all. that said, it has denzel washington been really cool all the way through, so i sort of like that film about denzel washington. not his best, but still denzel. best out, you have chosen a film which made me feel about 95! laughter. me too, i have to say. this has been out a week and it came out on tuesday, unusually, because it is an unusual film. a little indie british comedy from the makers of the in—betweeners. and i think you could call it in—tense. see what i did there? makes me realise i would never want to camp at a festival. much as i love music, there is a line. yes, very messy, and you need to be of the right age group, which sometimes, guilty, iam. i was not, but all of the 19—year—old men i went to the screening with were loving it.

that is enough. and very nicely acted, choosing the positives. and dvd... if you're not going out to a tent or a festival, dvd, emily blunt, in a quiet place. a post—apocalyptic film where if you make a sound, the aliens who have invaded will come for you so you have to be quiet and not say a word and get through it. her and her family sort of get through it. will they, when the? she is also pregnant, giving birth, not something you want to do when there are aliens around —— will they, won't they? everybody i know who has seen it said it was absolutely gripping. yes, you can just about survive it. you have been warned! thank you very much. lovely to see you, jason, and that is it for this week. whatever you choose to watch, whatever you are brave enough for, have a good week. enjoy your cinema going. goodbye. good evening.

a bit of a west—east divide with our weather today. the best of the sunshine and the warmth has been in the southeast of england. and as we go through the night tonight, we see quite a lot of cloud invading from the west, and that's going to push its way right across the country. it will bring outbreaks of rain and rather windy conditions on those exposed northwest coasts, in comparison to last night, those temperatures will hold up, perhaps just overnight lows of 12—15 degrees. so it looks likely that there will be some usable weather around for the weekend. mostly dry on saturday, but there will be a little more in the way of rain around perhaps on sunday. any rain will be fairly light and patchy across the scottish borders and northern ireland, i suspect, for the start of the weekend, but still pretty windy on those exposed northwest coasts. further south, lighter winds and the cloud will break up and allow for some sunshine to come through, so temperatures will respond. mid—20s quite possible, 2a or 25 degrees. as we move into the second half of the weekend, there's the potential for a little more rain, but the best of any brightness and warmth further south. this is bbc world news today. i'm kasia madera.

our top stories... surviving the worst monsoon rains in almost a century. close to a thousand people have already died across in india. some of the families of victims of the collapsed bridge in genoa shun the offer of a state funeral, as anger at the italian government grows. plus, why diets designed to take inches off your waistline, could also take years off your life. hello and welcome to world news today. more than 900 people have been killed so far during india's current monsoon season, according to authorities in the country.
