people met my beautiful girlfriend. it's the romantic comedy that's been delighting america. these people aren'tjust rich, they're crazy rich. and with its all—asian cast, changing hollywood. this is rachel. when you look at the lack of asian—american and asian—led stories and actors, it really highlights that. you realise that we do want to create a movement so that, you know, people feel represented and heard and understood and valued. # ifeel glorious...#. that movement is seeing hollywood deciding to make more ethnic minority movies. why? the sad fact is that the studios rely on the statistics and the statistics for this film in particular are blowing everybody out of the water. she has been begging me to come visit her, you know. the universe has spoken. the smart, sleek romcom, set firmly in the modern social media age, is a box office sensation in the us, mostly down to its relatable storyline. and that's important. its message for the film industry wouldn't be spreading so quickly
10:31 pm
and powerfully if audiences weren't first enjoying it simply as a movie. box office failure could have so disappointed its cast, which includes british star gemma chan. you feel that, you know, if the film hadn't worked or people don't come to see it, you know, gosh, what if it means for the next 25 years, they are not going to allow a film to be made with asian leads? that is, that's what it comes down to. it's about time someone stood up to aunt eleanor. but you, not me. oh, god! this film has made history. no matter if it doesn't win any accolades, if, you know, we don't come out on the top of any sort of awards shows, whatever. the statement has been made. what about us taking an adventure east? like queens? and that is that films like this or black panther aren't one—offs and that audiences want and deserve far better ethnic representation. lizo mzimba, bbc news. newsnight‘s about to begin over

10:37 pm
from luke shaw. you can read more from luke shaw. you can read more from his press conference on the bbc sport website. someone else with her from today was the liverpool captain jordan henderson. he said whilst in russia, they got an idea of how much they inspired the nation back here and felt they change the perception of the england team. he says that he feels that nation fell back in love with the squad. and that makes them excited of the match is still the com. i feel their confidence after the world cup will be high. we have to go out and show that against bank because we are a fantastic team. i'm sure there will be a full stadium supporting us. so, i feel as though yeah, we made the need —— nation fall in love with england again. and hopefully we are just going to continue on the journey and the just the more memorable, memorable things for us. but england will very much
10:38 pm
be hoping to pick up with they left off in russia. distracted their uefa edged campaign. they held swimwear on saturday. they play switzerland ina on saturday. they play switzerland in a friendly on tuesday. after that wonderful campaign in russia and thatjordan henderson says the nation has fell back in love with the team, it be interesting to see what kind of reception they get from the fans in these two games. tiger woods has been named in the us team for next months ryder cup in paris. captainjim furyk announced three of his four wild card picks in the last half an hour. the fourth one will be announced on sunday. alongside woods, phil mickelson and bryson dechambeau have also been selected. let's get more on this now with our golf correpondent iain carter, who's been waiting all day for this news. iain — no real surprise that woods is back in the fold? no, i don't think so. really from the moment he finished second at the
10:39 pm
pga championship last month, he was nailed on to return to this american ryder cup team. it will be his first appearance since 2012. he was always going to be part of the infrastructure if you like of this ryder cup team because he had been named as a vice captain. but at the start of a year when he returned from those multiple back surgeries, it was one of his goals to force his way back into the american ryder cup tea m way back into the american ryder cup team either by qualifying automatically or as has been the case earning this wild card pick from captainjim furyk. he says that it's an incredible feeling beyond special that he is back in the american ryder cup team and cannot wait for the match which of course ta kes pla ce wait for the match which of course takes place at the end of this month. what about phil mickelson? i feel it would be hard to be somewhat out of his stature. exactly he and he has been an architect of the new outburst that the americans have too the ryder cup. it was phil mickelson who spoke out in the wake of the defeat in 2014 at gleneagles who was
10:40 pm
the driving force behind the task forces and new way in which the americans averse to wire cup. —— ryder cup. this is the first time he's needed a wild card pick since the 1990s. he made his debut back in 1995. he has played in every ryder cup since then. so it went up in a really big set to beat him out even though his form has not been the best in recent times. only one top ten since winning in march. but i think the fact that he mixes so well particularly with the younger generation of the american players means that he is seen byjim furyk as an important cog within the american team for the match in france. you mentioned mickelson's farm, a sharp contrast from bryson dechambeau pasta form. he is the hottest player in the planet at the moment. he has won the first to a pga playoff offence. heading towards a tour chairmanship and the fedex cup. he is absolutely red heart. i
10:41 pm
think he would be an enormous character at this ryder cup. he plays in a completely different way and this notice is closer all the same length and approaches it with a scientific approach. so i think the european fans will find him very interesting to watch and as i say, his form is better than anyone in the world right now. he is going to bea the world right now. he is going to be a formidable force and a big friend of tiger woods so it wouldn't bea friend of tiger woods so it wouldn't be a surprise to me to see those two paired together. from the european point of view, thomas bjorn gets his go tomorrow. he bonuses for wild ca rd go tomorrow. he bonuses for wild card picks. the favourite importer, and eric stenson. and then a selection between two spaniards. sergio garcia or rosol. i'm sure would hear you more tomorrow. iain carter, thank you forjoining us. there's been a shock in the women's draw at the us open this afternoon, with last year's champion sloane stephens suffering defeat in the quarterfinals.
10:42 pm
she was beaten in straight sets by 19th seed anastasija sevastova. she becomes the first latvian woman to make the semi—finals at the us open. argentinian third seed juan martin del potro has secured his place in the semi—finals with victory over american john isner. isner won the first set on a tie—break but del potro, who claimed his only grand slam title at the 2009 us open, took the second 6—3 and then the third on a tiebreak. he went on to seal his place in the last four in style, taking the fourth and final set six games to two. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
10:43 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are the talkradio presenter, daisy mcanderw and kevin schofield, edior of politicshome. —— daisy mcandrew. and i promise no relation. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. jeremy corbyn has been humiliated by his own allies, as the labour party's ruling body rejected his attempt to add a caveat to the party's definition of anti—semitism. that's in the times. the same story makes it into the independent, which says that labour has failed to end the row over anti—semitism. the daily express has said that labour has had a new love by the alleged cover above anti—semitic crimes. mark carney is expected to stay on as governor of the bank of england until 2020, to help the government ease the brexit transition —

putting pressure on him recently to ask if he would stay on for his original five—year term. ask if he would stay on for his originalfive—yearterm. —— ask if he would stay on for his original five—year term. —— the brexit magnets. —— madness. when you look at mark carney, you kind of have to have some sympathy for him because he came over here with such fa nfa re because he came over here with such fanfare if you remember. he was such a coup for george osborne getting him. he would be in charge of this transition. it would bring a set of the revelers —— recession. and now he has been sidelined in the last few years because he hasn't been the main story. he has been having to firefight brexit. and not been hugely popular. an issue with theresa may. they have a scratch or relationship. yeah, she was critical of him and his monetary policies in 2016 and the tory party conference speech. he's also not terribly
