6:30 pm
and she made a plea in her acceptance speech. i would just also like to say to all those women out there wanting to make films, please go and do it, we need you. applause. however, the talk of the night was most certainly netflix. roma was one of six netflix films that premiered here and it is the first big win for the streaming service at a major festival. cannes banned netflix from its competition. the online giant has been attacked for its strategy of making films available for streaming on the same day they are released in cinemas. while some worry about what that would do to the movie industry, alfonso cuaron sees it as an opportunity. this is a film that is in black—and—white, in spanish and mixteco, in mexican. with no recognisable actors or stars. and they are giving a huge, huge international push for this film. releasing it both streaming and also theatrical.
6:31 pm
not any company does that. as the conversation about the future of film continues, what does seem certain is that we will hear more about roma as the awards season approaches. laura westbrook, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello, it has been a better afternoon than what we had yesterday for much of england and wales, certainly drier with more sunshine around and quite warm. but it has been breezy, the further north that you are that breeze has been more of the future. it will turn windy gci’oss the future. it will turn windy across scotland later this evening and into the overnight period, courtesy of this period of low pressure that is getting ever closer to the north of scotland. you can
6:32 pm
see the squeeze in the isobars which will bring that wet weather to scotland. not as windy in the south this evening. nice end to the day with pleasant spells of sunshine. for the north of scotland the ones will pick up, up to 55 mph, with heavy rain, particularly in the north and west. the eastern areas tending to stay dry. blustery for the north, lighter winds further south. clear spells for south and just about making double figures. one or two eastern areas could dip into single figures, so a fresher night compared to last night. this is the pressure card for monday, a ridge of high pressure across england and wales which means fine weather to begin with before this next area of low pressure moves on for the atlantic. plenty of sunshine to begin the day and quite a pleasa nt to begin the day and quite a pleasant morning for many. breezy gci’oss pleasant morning for many. breezy across scotland with a few showers, later in the day that weather system will arrive across northern ireland initially and push into western
6:33 pm
parts of scotland and it will turn windy as well. the best of the dry and bright weather further south and east. temperature is not as impressive as this afternoon, 21 degrees the best. with across the northern half of the country on monday night. the weather front sinks southwards and eastwards, so by tuesday morning there will be heavy bursts of rain to the north and stewards to the south. important because this weather front will be a dividing line on tuesday between something cooler fresher to the north, to something much warm and humid to the south, and by that time on tuesday we will be tapping into this humid air from on tuesday we will be tapping into this humid airfrom the new continent. in the spells of sunshine it will feel pleasant. it will feel cooler and windy in the north on tuesday and wednesday. 2a degrees is possible on tuesday in london but cooler for all areas by wednesday. boris johnson's latest attack on the government's brexit strategy sparks sharp criticism from senior conservatives. in a newspaper article, the former foreign secretary tells
6:34 pm
the prime minister: "we have wrapped a suicide vest around the british constitution". trade unions back calls for a new referendum on brexit, if theresa may fails to get a good enough deal. if it doesn't protectjobs, rights at work and peace in northern ireland, then the tuc will throw our weight behind the call for a vote on the terms of the deal. you owe me an apology, i have never cheated in my life. serena williams says she's fighting for women's rights after accusing an umpire of treating her differently from male players. north korea celebrates its 70th anniversary, but this time with long range missiles out of sight. this will be the last time. and alastair cook's final innings for england. good evening.
6:35 pm
the former foreign secretary boris johnson's latest intervention on brexit has been attacked by fellow conservatives as "outrageous" and "disgusting", after he likened the prime minister's proposals to a suicide vest. in a newspaper article, he said the chequers plan was a humiliation that gives the eu what it wants in return for nothing. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. neverfarfrom a camera, it seems, but borisjohnson didn't get the warmest welcome from cricket fans at the oval yesterday. commentator: ah, the former foreign secretary. appears to be on his own. booing perhaps dreaming up his latest attack on the government's brexit plan.
6:36 pm
in today's mail on sunday he called it feeble and pathetic and said by promising no friction at the irish border... suicide bomb or suicide vest... that language was quickly criticised by tory colleagues. i think there are much better ways to articulate your differences and i think it's a reminder, i think, for all of us in public policy, whichever political party represent, to use measured language because that's what the public want to see. some went much further. on twitter, the mp and former army officer tom tugendhat said... while sir alan duncan, a government minister, said it was one of the most disgusting moments in modern politics. with years of experience at westminster, there is little doubt boris johnson knew that his comments
6:37 pm
would provoke reaction. critics have suggested it was a deliberate distraction from revelations about his private life including the recent announcement about his divorce, but his supporters say his only focus is fighting for brexit and that's why he's being attacked. i think boris says it as he sees it and it's how many people see it in the country but few dare to call it. and he speaks truth unto power and i'm not surprised that those in power resent that and there's a backlash. either way, his willingness to challenge the prime minister has again fuelled speculation about his own ambition. although his allies insist the only change he wants in downing street is a different brexit policy. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. the trades union congress has said it will back the campaign for a referendum on the final brexit deal, if the government fails to secure an agreement that protects jobs and the economy. our political correspondent iain watson is in manchester,
6:38 pm
where the unions are holding their annual conference. theresa may is under pressure now from the trade unions on bringing back the final brexit deal because the leader of britain's 6 million trade unionists says she will put herfull weight behind trade unionists says she will put her full weight behind a trade unionists says she will put herfull weight behind a new referendum campaign, on the final deal, if she doesn't like what the prime minister brings back from brussels. the tuc is also putting pressure on the labour leadership. jeremy corbyn was to keep the option of another referendum on the back burner but frances o'grady of the tuc was sounding far more positive about the prospect of a new vote. all we're all we‘ re left all we're left with, with 200 days to go before potentially we crashed out of the the eu, all we got left is that campaign and call for a popular vote and if the prime minister won't come back with a deal that the people deserve we will be firing our weight behind that
6:39 pm
campaign. you've made it clear what you want the prime minister to do, but what about the leader of the opposition? different organisations will make their own decisions but it's time that politicians focused on what people are telling them. when labour holds its conference in two weeks some unions and grassroots members want to see the party going much further in the direction of a new referendum. i asked the shadow chancellor if he's prepared to move. i want chancellor if he's prepared to move. iwanta chancellor if he's prepared to move. i want a general election because it's about changing the negotiating team. if that doesn't happen, we'll keep the option on the table.|j team. if that doesn't happen, we'll keep the option on the table. i was unions opposed brexit but some such as the rail union act the league vote, and say that any vote on the new deal will look too much like a second referendum, a rerun, carrying political dangers. a second referendum would cause huge problems and divisions, not only in the trade union bill and members who expect people to respect their voice, but
6:40 pm
also in society and we should worry about that. they are playing with fire and should be careful. ina in a poll of members of the biggest unions commissioned by the people's vote campaigned there were majorities for the vote and a new referendum but the labour leadership is resisting any move to change policy. a group representing religious education teachers and faith organisations has called for big changes to the way the subject is taught in england. the commission for religious education says children should learn about atheism and humanism, as well as the main faiths, to better reflect modern britain. six royal navy sailors have been arrested in florida, accused of being drunk and disorderly while on shore leave. they're crew from britain's newest aircraft carrier, hms queen elizabeth, which docked there on its maiden voyage. reports say the men were fighting and urinating in public, and at least one was tasered after resisting arrest.
6:41 pm
serena williams has been fined $17,000 by the us tennis association after her outbust during the final of the us open, which she lost to japan's naomi osaka. williams accused the umpire of sexism, saying she was penalised in a way that male players are not. today the tennis world has been debating one of the most striking matches of recent times. our sports correspondent john watson reports. you owe me an apology. i have never cheated in my life. i have a daughter and i stand by what's right for her. i have never cheated. serena williams, furious at being warned for receiving on court instructions. the actions of her coach, interpreted by the umpire as breaking grand slam rules. trailing naomi osaka in the women's final, a point penalty for a broken racket followed before williams was penalised again, for verbally abusing the umpire. you will never, ever, ever be on a court of mine, as long as you live.
6:42 pm
you are the liar. you have stolen a point from me. you're a thief, too. i've seen other men call other umpires are several things, and i'm here fighting for women's rights and women's equality and for all kinds of stuff, and for me to say thief and for him to take a game, it made me feel like it was a sexist remark. williams received support from another great in the women's game, billie jean king, who said "when a woman is emotional, she's ‘hysterical‘, and she is penalised for it. when a man does the same, he is ‘outspoken‘ and there are no repercussions." any former player who was watching that unfold will have had a little bit of sympathy. i don't think carlos ramos is sexist in anyway at all. he's known as a very, very strict umpire. in fact, he's never going to pander to any player, no matter what their reputation or status in the game. organisers say that carlos ramos acted within the rules but inconsistencies in the officiating of the us open
6:43 pm
have been highlighted. when williams was punished for an court coaching, the australian, nick kyrgios received a pep talk from the tournament umpire, mid—match. you can't have one rule for one, some players and some umpires don't adhere to it and allow players to get away with things. i think they've just got to be fair to the players. her conduct may not be what we've come to expect from the multiple grand slam champion but for williams, a reflection of her frustration in her fight for fairness. john watson, bbc news. a drugs haul worth £7.5 million, along with guns and ammunition has been seized at dover docks. an hgv and trailer, meant to be carrying photocopier paper, was intercepted on friday and found to contain around a50 kilos of drugs including heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, as well as 20 firearms and 1,000 rounds of ammunition. two polish men have been charged and are due to appear in court tomorrow. north korea has held a military parade to mark
6:44 pm
its 70th anniversary, but in contrast with previous years, long—range missiles, with the potential to carry nuclear warheads, were not on show. donald trump, who is hoping to persuade north korea to abandon its nuclear weapons programme, called it a "big and very positive statement." our correspondent laura bicker reports from seoul. the soldiers marched with their usual zeal, a disciplined display, perfected after months of painful practice. it is meant to show devotion. there was something missing from kim jung—un‘s parade. he may have rolled out the tanks and artillery but there was no sign of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the subject of international sanctions. this less provocative display reflects mr kim's recent charm offensive. he's written another letter to the us president to try and get talks back on track. and once again, here
6:45 pm
he is playing the diplomat, this time showing off his friendship with china, saluting the crowds with president xi's envoy. but the invited cameras are told where to point, amidst the waving pyongyang elite. frankly there is very little doubt that north koreans are determined to remain nuclear in the foreseeable future. but right now, they don't want to advertise it. the bbc was not invited to pyongyang but we did speak to north korean defectors, who took part in past events. they told us it can take up to six months to prepare. ten hours of rehearsals a day, with very little food. the goose—stepping in particular is difficult to master. translation: you have to lift up the back leg at the same time your front leg hits the ground. this is very difficult. if you do this for six months, you can lose over five kilograms. there are fears north korea
6:46 pm
is on the verge of a food crisis, as crops fail after a heatwave. the kim family show the world only what they want it to see. just like the missiles, so much is hidden from view and until that changes, the international community may find it difficult to trust. laura bicker, bbc news, in seoul. votes are being counted in sweden after a general election expected to result in a far right party becoming the second biggest in parliament. the campaign of the sweden democrats focused on immigration and crime. our correspondentjenny hill is in stockholm now. what are you hearing? good evening. this is likely to be an historic night for swedish politics. the people behind me are supporters of the ruling party. the prime minister arrived ten minutes ago in order to watch the very first exit polls
6:47 pm
coming in. they are nervous because this party and in fact the entire political establishment here is under significant pressure from a far right party, the anti—migrant, anti—eu party. the swedish democrats have done well in the party ever since sweden took in more people seeking asylum in ahead of the population than any other european country. they've really got the establishment here on the run. it's going to be a very tense night i think here and the ruling party's headquarters. if the sweden democrats do as well as expected at least they will consider coalition building. this will be watched closely in eu capitals because like so many countries in europe it looks like liberal sweden is going to turn to the right. thank you forjoining us. there were two british winners at today's great north run.
6:48 pm

6:52 pm
a sexist remark. he has never taken a game from a man because they said thief. i mean, it blows my mind. but i'm going to continue to fight for women and to fight for us to have equal... like, cornet should be able to take her shirt off without getting a fine. this is outrageous. and i just feel like the fact that i have to go through this is just an example for the next person that has emotions and that want to express themselves, that want to be a strong woman, and they are going to be allowed to do that because of today. maybe it didn't work out for me but it will work out for the next person. matthew fitzpatrick is the first golfer in a0 years to defend the european masters. he needed an extra hole to do it. fitzpatrick had led by two going into the final round but it took a birdie on the first play—off hole to clinch victory. the englishman becomes the first since the great seve ballesteros in 1978 to retain the title.
