the film review. good afternoon. theresa may has said she gets "irritated" by the ongoing speculation over her position as prime minister. mrs may told the bbc the debate should be about the country's future, rather than her own, with only six months to go before brexit. her comments come days after conservative mps opposed to her brexit plan, met to discuss how and when they could force her to stand down. nick eardley has more. at chequers, where her brexit proposal was born, a sight we don't often see — the prime minister at ease, defending her plan for life outside the eu. this week, some discussed

replacing her over that policy, but theresa may says it's not her future that is important, it's the country's. this is where i get a little bit irritated. this debate is not about my future. this debate is about the future of the people of the uk and the future of the united kingdom. that's what i'm focused on and that's what i think we should all be focused on. ensuring that we get a good deal from the european union, which is good for the people of the uk, wherever they live in the uk. some brexit backers would say the plan would be a disaster. they are flexing their political muscles to change it. michael gove says he backs the prime minister, saying he's compromised. but he says compromises needn't be forever. a future prime minister could always choose to alter the relationship between britain and european union. the chequers approach is the right one for now, because we need to respect the vote and take advantage of the opportunities of being outside the european union. but with so many different views still on the table, who makes the final call?

london's mayor thinks it should be voters in a referendum in the final deal. the question should be a choice between the deal done by this government or staying in the european union. the deal done by this government we can now actually see what the consequences would be. labour's leadership remains to be convinced on another referendum. the prime minister insists it won't happen. she says she'll fight for her plan. you know what some people say, they rather liked it when you joked about being "that bloody difficult woman", they liked that. and they sometimes say, "where's she gone? we want her back." she's still there. but there's a difference between those who think you can only be bloody difficult in public and those of us who think, actually, you bide your time and you're bloody difficult when the time is right and when it really matters. and it's that resolve that will be tested in the coming months. nick eardley, bbc news. all next week here on bbc news, we mark 6 months until brexit.

we'll take a closer look at the potential impact of the uk leaving the eu, beginning in salford and burnley. that's tomorrow morning from 11 here on bbc news. at least 50 people are now known to have been killed in the philippines by typhoon mangkhut, many of them caught in landslides set off by heavy rain. the typhoon has now moved across from the philippines, to southern china and hong kong, with winds of up to ioomph. from hong kong, robin brant sent this report. this was a monster typhoon that hit three places in three days. hong kong was in the middle. more than 100 people here have been injured, but no deaths have been reported. the biggest casualties were shattered windows and fallen trees. dozens of roads were blocked. there's some flooding in lower—lying areas, as well. this is obviously not what sunday

evening in one of the main streets in hong kong is supposed to look like. there is rubbish everywhere. we've got about half a metre of flooding there, as well. the worst of the winds have passed, but there's a big clean—up operation that needs to happen. people still being urged to stay indoors. it wasn't a direct hit and the worst has passed, but the rain is falling and there's a landslide warning in place. it's still dangerous to be out. translation: i'm here to feel the strength of the typhoon. it's quite strong. in the philippines, it was more serious. the death toll there is rising — the damage more widespread in smaller communities in a country less able to protect its people. in a flooded home, rescuers found a mother and child, stranded. both were saved. the child passed first to safety. here, too, though, there is now the threat of mudslides. mangkhut has now made

landfall in mainland china, hitting guangdong province, the final stop on its devastating westerlyjourney. thousands had already been evacuated there. they'll know the full extent of the damage once monday comes. robin brant, bbc news, hong kong. the east coast of the united states is facing an "epic amount of rainfall," particularly in north and south carolina, where at least 12 people have died as a result of storm florence. many people in the area have been moved to safety and those that have attempted to return home are being urged not to, as further flooding is on the way. our north america correspondent, chris buckler, reports. this storm has left streets submerged across north carolina. towns along the coast and now inland have become badly flooded, leaving rescue teams as the only route to safety for some families. from the air, you get a better sense of the scale of the problems here, and during the brief breaks

in the weather, this has been the most effective way of getting people out of cut—off areas like new bern. driving conditions are increasingly difficult. motorists have been advised to avoid this state completely if they can. and new evacuation warnings have come into force for more of these carolinan towns. the worst is yet to come. mandatory evacuations for areas within one mile of the cape fear river in fayetteville, and one mile of the little river have been implemented. the number of people who have died as a result of this extreme weather is continuing to rise. florence is no longer a hurricane, but this sprawling storm is moving slowly across the carolinas, dumping months of rainfall injust days. the effects of hurricane florence are still being felt — and the authorities say as long as the rain falls, there is the danger of further catastrophic flash flooding. and after this week in north carolina, both man

and beast are well aware of the impact of that. chris buckler, bbc news, wilmington. vince cable has said his party will "not buy" any brexit deal from brussels, based on theresa may's chequers proposal. the liberal democrat leader was speaking at the party's annual conference in brighton. mr cable criticised the prime minister's plan, suggesting that it has "an enormous hole in it", because there is no provision for services which make up 80% of the british economy. well, there are two big issues which you can't escape at the lib dem conference in brighton this year. one of them you were just talking about, brexit and the party's policy, of course, to oppose and stop brexit in whatever way they can. and the other one is really the state of the party itself and whether it needs to undergo big changes, as the leader, sir vince cable, has put forward and suggested, in order,

really, to survive and broaden its appeal, to bring more people in as unpaid supporters, to allow non—mps to stand for the leadership. that's something which sir vince cable was facing questions on in the main hall in brighton earlier on. there is a bit of nervousness i think it's fair to say among the lib dem members who have heard these proposals and are worried that the party is going to be open to all and sundry and someone who wasn't an elected member of parliament, who the membership would particularly happy with, could come in and be installed as leader of the party. as one person put it to sir vince cable, they were worried that somebody like chuka umunna, the labour mp who has been campaigning for a second vote on the final deal with brussels, could come in and end up as the party leader. and this was sir vince cable's response. there is no leadership election in prospect, except in the longer term. we have very good mps. i see nothing wrong

with opening up the talent pool and looking at people who share our values. it may be that the party rejects them, maybe they don't get through the nomination process, maybe they don't get through the star chamber interrogation progress but at least not ruling things out from first principles. just because we can think of somebody we distrust who might get through hypothetically. that seems to be the wrong way of looking at it. the liberal party, surely we are open to choice? looking at possibilities? so, applause for sir vince cable as he answered those concerns about potential changes to the party which, of course, will only happen if the membership agreed to them and get behind them. for many senior figures in the party, he's got the right idea with those suggestions. brexit, the big policy

that the lib dems have that they are struggling to capitalise on as a major party who oppose brexit. yesterday the brexit spokesman tom brake said that there wouldn't be time for parliament to scrutinise a deal that the government reached with the eu on the terms of britain's withdrawal from the eu, so what would lib dem mps do, regardless of the deal that the government comes back with when parliament gets a chance to vote on it? sir vince was asked about that in a session earlier today. there is an enormous hole and it's been exposed by many of the prime minister's allies. if we are left in a late—night in earlyjanuary with that in front of you...? we're not going to buy it, we're not going to buy it. we're not going to buy it, a very clear signal there from sir vince cable that regardless of the deal, the government manages to get, if there is one, with the european union

on britain's exit from the eu, then lib dem mps will vote against it in parliament. that may have a big impact because the parliamentary arithmetic is tight, as we know. theresa may doesn't have much of a majority in parliament at all. so it won't take much, if a handful of labour mps or most of them vote against it with along the lib dems, to put the government in a very difficult position. that wasjemerson that was jemerson blake that wasjemerson blake in brighton. we're going to stay with that story. jonathan blake. the prime minister says we should be concentrating on brexit. joining us now isjonathan isaby, editor of brexit central. you provide a one—stop shop on all of the twists and turns of brexit. what do you make of the goings—on

this weekend? sadiq khan has changed his mind and says we need a second referendum. vince cable says they aren't going to buy anything. people like sadiq khan and vince cable have been heavy campaigners for the remain campaign in 2016 and they are like all the other people who say they won't support any deal, they won't support brexit, they want another referendum, all of those people supported remain and didn't like the results in the referendum. frankly it gets a bit tedious, these people coming out again and again making these points. in sadiq khan's case it's interesting because after the referendum, the point andrew marr put to him, he had said he accepted the result and to have another referendum would be extremely divisive and it would create a lack of faith in the democratic process amongst the people who voted for brexit in massive numbers. i think he was

right then. and what he's saying now is the side of things. this idea of a second referendum, it is two subjects that have come up over the last 48 hours. the possibility of a general election, and referendum marked two. how do you think people are going to vote? what do people want? people want the government to get on delivering the result of the referendum we had in 2016. more people voted in that than have ever voted for anyone or anything in british electoral history and they expect the government to get on with delivering it. when i speak to people around the country they seem astonished that more than two years since the referendum, brexit still hasn't happened. the notion that politicians should be trying to reverse that result or engineer some form of second referendum, to do the vote all over again, people find exotic rating. is the feeling then

that the is going going to deliver it? if you look at what has been said about chequers from across the range of voices, from the robust eurosceptics in the jacob rees—mogg mould in the party, to the moderates in the party likejustine greening, through the opposition benches and indeed to michel barnier and the european commission in brussels, no one seems to think that chequers is the right answer and neither does the right answer and neither does the polling. the other day it suggested the british public thought that was the worst possible deal there could be. what we've got now area there could be. what we've got now are a series of important meetings, are a series of important meetings, a meeting with the prime minister soon, and the european cultural, and we expect a special meeting in november when the european leaders are going to have to this out. one thing the prime minister me to look at is going back to a canada style free trade agreement, which is what

the eu offer the uk in the first place. thank you forjoining us. the headlines on bbc news. theresa may has revealed her frustration with the continued speculation over her leadership — as the prime minister defends her brexit plan. around 50 people are killed by flooding and landslides in the philippines, as typhoon mangkhut make landfall on the china coast. the french far right leader marine le pen rebrands her party to try and broaden its appeal. we're going to stick with that story. the french far—right leader marine le pen has rebranded her party in an effort to broaden its political appeal. formerly known as the front national, the party is now called rassemblement national, national rally.

ms le pen has been speaking to her party at its summer conference this afternoon. 0ur correspondent, hugh schofield, is in paris, and sent this update. rebranding, a new name but the message is identical to what was there before. as you say, she has had a tough year and a half, she lost the election of course against macron after a pitiful performance in the second round of the elections, then there have been these judicial problems, money problems, the defection of her very important number two, florian fillipo, so people have been tending to say it is all a bit of a bust and flush but i have to say there is a sense that the hard right in the form of marine le pen is very much back. this was the opening salvo in a period leading to the european elections in which we will see a lot of her and a lot of the confidence she used to have back in action.

largely, down to the opinion polls. the opinion poll, a very important one last week, showed that in voting intentions for next year's european elections in may, she and her party, the national rally, are now neck and neck with emmanuel macron‘s party. this is crucial and very interesting because it shows that the traditional parties, the moderate right and left are still not resurrecting themselves from the ashes of the debacle in the presidential election and still if you want to position yourself as somebody who does not like macron and wants to undo his liberalising, globalising policy, then the place you will go to is not the far left, which for a time seemed to be the port of call, but once again the hard right, represented by marine le pen and her party. she also has this sense, which is hardly the first time we are reporting on it, that she is representative of a transnational movement across europe. she brought this up over again in the speech, you look across europe to salvini, to 0rban in hungary, to what's happening in sweden, denmark,

and you have a sense, she has a sense that as she put it, there is a big shake—up going on in europe and she wants to be part of it. let's return now to news that at least 50 people are now known to have been killed in the philippines by typhoon mangkhut, many of them caught in landslides set off by heavy rain. large expanses on the main island of luzon are under water, including farms which produce a big portion of the nation's rice and corn. 0ur correspondent howard johnson sent us this update. today, we made the 50 milejourney to a seaside town that we visited a day before the storm struck. we wanted to go back to see how people had fares during the storm. 0n the way we saw electricity poles felled, forests ripped to shreds and we saw crops completely destroyed. when we got there, we went along to meet a man who we had seen

the day before the storm struck. he told us at the time he would wait to watch the waves and pray to god before he decided whether he would leave his home or not. when we saw him today, his house had been completely destroyed. the roof had been ripped off and his living room was in tatters. he was fighting back tears as he told us he was sad because his house had been completely destroyed. president duterte has flown over this region today to assess the damage, he said he will dig deep to give to those most in need. he says he shares the grief of those who have lost loved ones because of this typhoon. the final death toll is still not known because more information keeps coming in. there have been lots of landslides affecting particularly the north of the country and tonight we have heard details of a landslide near bagio where at least 32 miners have died, they are still looking for other survivors and the hope is they will work through the night to find as many people as they can.

joy maluyo from the aid organisation, world vision is on the island of luzon, and she explained what the conditions were like on the ground. it is still chaos here in the north, actually i have travelled here and i have seen at least two or three landslides. clearing operations are still ongoing. we are starting to get more information about the extent of typhoon mangkhut‘s damage, especially here in this province. as you mentioned, there have been at least 50 deaths already, including children. majority of these deaths were caused by landslides. world vision is really worried about the effect of this experience, especially to the children. our team is in cagayan.

they were able to go to the place where the typhoon made its landfall. farmlands were reduced to nothing, and parents are now worried on how to provide for children, their children's needs, in the coming days. obviously there are some areas you have not yet been able to access. what is proving to be the most difficult aspect of this weather event when it comes to accessibility and knowing the true extent of the typhoon? it is very challenging, especially here in benguet, because going here this afternoon, there have been a lot of closures on roads, we had to take longer routes. there is still a threat of more landslides. going to this area at the moment is a bit dangerous, it is dangerous especially,

rescue operations are ongoing. a russian activist supporting the protest group pussy riot, pyotr verzilov, has been flown from moscow to berlin for specialist treatment following a suspected poisoning. he became seriously ill on tuesday. he is best known for an anti—putin protest at the world cup final in moscow earlier this year. 0ur correspondent damien mcguinness is in berlin, and has been following the story. he arrived late last night here in berlin on an ambulance plane that was funded by a german ngo that has in the past also helped other anti—putin activists. that's because he became seriously ill in moscow, his fellow anti—putin activists say that's because he was poisoned. that's what they suspect. it seems he was unable to speak, could not walk or hear anything, was rushed into hospital in a very serious condition. he then was sent over here to germany to a very famous hospital here in berlin

where he is right now being given treatment. he is apparently much better now according to a statement by one of his fellow activists. we still don't really know what exactly happened because doctors and officials here in germany have not yet confirmed whether this was in fact a poisoning, and if so, what's behind it. we still don't really know why he's ill. but he is ill and he is in hospital right now in berlin. any reaction from russia? he's also a canadian citizen, so what have officials been saying, if anything? he is quite a controversial figure in russia. so far no official statement about him being in germany right now. in russia, he really divides opinion because this group is not necessarily very popular with many russian voters. they have done quite a few anti—putin stunts which many russians would feel as disrespectful, for example a performance in a cathedral, "punk prayer" is what they called it. he has also engaged in an orgy in a museum and released cockroaches into a court, lots of things his supporters

and anti—putin opposition activists quite like because it really gets publicity and shakes people up. some russian voters don't like it because they feel it's very disrespectful. he does divide opinion in russia. he himself is not a massive name in russia but his group, pussy riot, with whom he works, is very famous. he was previously with an art connective, whose name is "war" in russian, a group also known for controversial acts. right now, this group wants to create publicity to get opposition going against putin, some people like that and some don't. but he has got a lot of support in the west so it's likely that people who don't like or criticise the russian government will also be very interested to see what happens to him here in germany. interesting to point out he still faces charges in russia because after that stunt, which you mentioned, which many of us will have seen at the world cup, when he ran onto the football pitch

dressed in a fake policeman‘s uniform, he was fined and put into jailfor 15 days. after he was released, he was then given other charges which he has not yet gone to court for. it might get controversial still, it might be quite a difficult situation if he does not go back to russia to face these charges so that could be the next problem that we now see here in berlin. the leader of the conservative party in scotland, ruth davidson, has said that she never wants to be prime minister because she "values her mental health too much". in an interview with the sunday times newspaper she's spoken for the first time of her struggle with depression, suicidal thoughts and self—harm. ms davidson, who is pregnant with her first child, had frequently been tipped as a future leader. a major study into taking an aspirin—a—day suggests

the drug should not be taken by healthy, elderly people. aspirin is taken widely for its impact on the heart but the clinical trial on 19,000 people in the us and australia found no benefit for people in good health over 70. former england and ipswich town footballer kevin beattie has died at the age of 64. his former team said on twitter that they are devastated to hear of his passing, following a suspected heart attack. the footballer, who was known as beat, made 296 appearances for ipswich town and won nine caps for england. now, benedict cumberbatch and james corden are just two of the british nominees up for an emmy award, which take place in la tomorrow night. it's the first year that the categories have been dominated by the streaming service, netflix. 0ur los angeles correspondent, james cook, reports. enemies to the east. enemies to the west. game of thrones has vanquished them all, winning more emmy awards than any other drama series

in tv history. whatever stands in our way... we will defeat it. this year, it leads the field with 22 nominations. did you ever stop to wonder about your actions? westworld, where cowboys meet science fiction, has 21 nominations, including a second supporting actress nod for thandie newton. you're going to take me to my daughter. who knows where westworld's going to go for season three? we certainly have no idea. do you not? no, not at all! i'm having dinner with lisa joy, who's one of our show runners, next week and i'm going to get her very drunk and i'm going to get some dish out of her, yeah! the handmaid's tale, with its bleak vision of a totalitarian united states, is also a frontrunner again. it won best drama last year.

is the handmaid's tale a piece for our times? of course. my goodness, of course. i feel like it's the only piece for our times right now. the other shows are sources of entertainment and inspiration, but i really feel like it holds a mirror up to society and asks hard questions, particularly about women and the roles of women and equality, and so i think it's necessary. somebody help! she will keep hurting people until i catch her! spy thriller killing eve debuted on bbc1 last night, but it's already thrilled american audiences, winning a nomination in best drama for sandra oh, a milestone for an asian actress. help me! it can only be great. i mean, it could only be great! to discuss it in any kind of way, i'll leave that to other people because it should be discussed. but not for me. i'm just happy. in hollywood, the crown remains hugely popular,

and it's in the running again. but what's the fascination with the royals? i think we're sort of secretly happy that their life is more miserable than ours, because they live in what we imagine is this gilded cage with everything that you could think of that you'd want to be, princes and kings and queens, they have this incredible lifestyle supposedly, but then you understand that in the middle, they've all the same problems we do. and that's what makes good drama, whether you're in la or the yorkshire dales. so, when i'm in england, iwatch, like, emmerdale and shows like that. you do not! you're an emmerdale fan? me and my mum love all of those. why? they're just — they're very addictive. they know how to write a show, you know. they leave those cliffhangers real good. this annual bafta tea party is a curtain raiserfor the emmys, and very soon, we'll find out who'll be sipping the champagne. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willets.

hello. looks like we are stepping into a spell of autumnal, wet and windy weather for the next couple of days. we have had some rain sinking south today, still sinking into southern areas. behind it, showers and looming over the atlantic is the next area of low pressure. wind and rain and the way. 0vernight, drizzly rain and the way. 0vernight, drizzly rain in southern areas, behind it, some clearer skies, a little cooler through the night, some showers to the north. already by the time would get a monday morning, we start to see the next area of wetter weather moving in, the remnants of hurricane helene, so there will be a lot of rain in northern ireland, central and western scotland and in this south, improving millie bright which sunshine. even in scotland. it turns windy it on tuesday, a spell of

gales on the irish sea and the wet weather, then more gales on wednesday. hello this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. the headlines: theresa may has revealed her frustration with the continued speculation over her leadership, as the prime minister defends her brexit plan. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, has called for a second eu referendum, and attacked the government's handling of brexit. around 50 people have been killed by flooding and landslides in the philippines, as typhoon mangkhut makes landfall on the china coast. the french far right leader, marine le pen rebrands her party to try and broaden its appeal. constance wu stars as a naive professor trying to win over her boyfriend's wealthy family in crazy rich asians. find out what mark kermode thinks of that and the rest of the week's big releases in the film review. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's janette kwachi.

fantastic news from formula 1. we are going to start with this cycling, actually. simon yates will be the vuelta a espana champion when he rides into madrid today. it'll make him the third different briton to win one of cycling's grand tours this year. the final processional stage is under way, it'll see them arrive in the spanish capitaljust after 7pm this evening. yates' lead in the overall standings won't be challenged and he'lljoin geraint thomas and chris froome as 2018's winners. he'll be the first briton to win without the help of team sky too — yates rides for the australian based team, mitchelton scott, alongside his twin brother adam. lewis hamilton has won the singpore grand prix for the fourth time but described it as the "longest race" of his life. the mercedes driver continues to increase his lead in the driver standings' and now sits 40 points ahead of sebastian vettel — jennie gow was in singapore for us. the party is just about to get under

way and lewis hamilton deserves to celebrate. in qualifying he made it count, he converted that to win and is now in a commanding position in the championship with six races to go. nick parrott reports. lewis hamilton says the marina bay street circuit is the most challenging track of the year. but the world champion made winning here look easy. no one could get close to him in qualifying or on the dash to the first corner. a perfect getaway here is vital for victory. his title rival, sebastian vettel, crashed at the start last year and almost did so again as he fought with max verstappen for second place. the ferrari got ahead while others got caught up, showing what can go wrong. vettel stopped early for fresh tyres in a bid to change his luck, but when verstappen roared out after his stop, he snatched back second place. the dutchman delighted. verstappen: yes! team radio: 0k, focus now. focus. vettel slighted. vettel: no chance, again, we were too late. this race is supposed to be

a bogey one for mercedes, but with vettel coming third, hamilton's championship lead has grown to 40 points. the battle isn't over yet, but the finishing line is getting closer. nick parrott, bbc news. we had a great start, the team have never given we had a great start, the team have nevergiven up faith we had a great start, the team have never given up faith and belief in me and valtteri in our ability. it was a real blessing, it was a long race. overall we weren't fast enough, we didn't have the pace in the race. but i think we tried to be aggressive in the beginning and obviously it didn't work out. so after that, i think i had a different race from the other guys, different race from the other guys, different tyres and i wasn't very convinced we could make it to the end. so next up we had to sochi in two weeks' time. mathematically, yes, vettel ca n weeks' time. mathematically, yes, vettel can still win the championship. he has to pretty much win every race and hope hamilton finishes way behind him or has some

retirements, but we note sochi is a track mercedes enjoy and hamilton is in the form of his life. in the football... burnely are still looking for their first premier league win of the season, after a 1—0 defeat to wolves. last season's championship winners were on top throughout the game, but could only manage one goal. rauljiminez scoring his second of the season to give wolves back to back league victories and move them to ninth in the table. west ham lead 3—1 at everton in the day's other game. cristiano ronaldo scored his first two goals forjuventus after not finding the net in his first three matches. his first goal came just after half time against saswolo with this tap in. and he doubled his goal tally midway through the second half when he was on the end of this counter attack. juventus won the game 2—1. well, last night zlatan ibrahimovich became one of three current players along with ronaldo and lionel messi to score 500 career goals. the landmark moment for the swedish striker came during la galaxy's 5—3 mls defeat at toronto fc.

the 36—year—old showing incredible skill to score with this effort. it had been billed as the fight of the year — the rematch between canelo alvarez and gennady golovkin a year on from their previous fight, which ended in a controversial draw. last night in las vegas, canelo became the new unified middleweight champion, winning by majority decision but there's already talk of a third encounter between the pair. 0ur reporter ade adedoyin was in las vegas and says last night's fight was close. we know rematches don't always live up to expectations, but saul alvarez and gennady golovkin delivered another highly entertaining contest, one that ebbed and flowed, sometimes within the same round. i spoke to many of the journalists ringside — they all had it close, some for golovkin and some for alvarez and some even called it a draw. alvarez got the decision and he described it as one of the greatest moments of his life. he said it is a proud moment

for mexico, this bout, of course, happening on the weekend of mexico's independence day celebrations. as for gennady golovkin, he came to the post—fight news conference wearing sunglasses, after having stitches for a cut eye. he said he leaves the arena the defeated man, but in his heart, he still feels he's the champion, he feels that he did enough to win, and he says he's open to a third fight. there certainly seems to be an appetite for a trilogy, and why not? both men will earn over $50 million for tonight's fight. may 5th next year is another bank holiday weekend for mexico, so a real possibility that they could do it again then and another fight that would be great for vegas and the local economy. in rugby union, the game of the weekend didn't disappoint with wasps surving a fightback from leicester to win 41—35. wasps started strongly and scored two early tries including this from josh bassett after a superb kick from elliot daly. tigers had will spencer sent off just before half—time but responded well and took took the lead after sione kalamofoney crossed over. but being a man down showed

shock and surprise, perhaps not that it was eliud kipchoge who led the way or that it was on the flat streets of berlin, where many of the fastest ti mes streets of berlin, where many of the fastest times have been run before. what was a surprise was the margin by which he smashed the marathon world record. the kenyan‘s time of two hours, one minute and 39 seconds was over a minute faster than anyone else in history. i feel great, two hours and one minute and 39 seconds. iam hours and one minute and 39 seconds. i am really happy and i'm grateful to those who worked with me. the 33—year—old is no stranger to marathon success. he claimed gold in the olympics brazil two years ago. eliud kipchoge is the olympic champion. and in april he won the london marathon. eliud kipchoge was

already regarded as one of the greatest marathon runners of all time. perhaps now, the greatest. great britain's alistair brownlee was disqualified from the grand final of the world triathlon series, as mario mola won a third world title in a row. brownlee was initially given a 15—second penalty in australia forfailing to go around a buoy during the swim stage. but this was then upgraded to a disqualification. he continued to compete and did not appeal against the decision after the race. he later tweeted to express his disappointment claiming he was disorientated after being held under the water. meanwhile, his brotherjonny was the highest brit in 8th place. some sad news from the world of football today, and the former england and ipswich town defender kevin beattie has died of a suspected heart attack this morning at the age of 64. beattie, who was capped four times by england, was part of one of ipswich town's most successful ever teams which won the the fa cup and uefa cup in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. his manager at ipswich, sir bobby robson, described him as the best english player he had

ever seen, and he is widely regarded as ipwich‘s greatest ever player. that's all the sport for now. coming up next it's the film review. hello, and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's releases is mark kermode. hello, mark. hey. what have you been watching? a very interesting week. we have crazy rich asians, which, as you know, is proving a huge international hit. we have the rider, a very melancholic and very touching tale of rodeo. and lucky, featuring harry dean stanton in one of his last roles. yeah, this is quite a week. what did you think of crazy rich asians?

so, adapted from the novel from kevin kwan, which i confess i haven't read. no, likewise. so, constance wu is rachel chu. she's a chinese—american economics professor at nyu who is dating a guy called nick, who she doesn't know is filthy rich until the moment he says, "look, you know, there's a wedding in singapore. i'm gonna be there. you should come with, you should meet the family." they get on the aeroplane, they turn left. she says, "we go that way." he says "no, no, no." suddenly, they are in super first class and people are offering them champagne. and she goes, "how — what is all this about?" he says, "well, my family are comfortable." she then arrives and she meets the family and she is pitted against a series of ex and wannabe girlfriends, a grandmother who is kind of in charge of everything, and michelle yeoh's eleanor, who is the mother, who has no intention of letting her son marry whomever he wants. here's a clip. it'sjust great seeing you guys all like this. when i was growing up, it wasjust me and my mum.

but we didn't really have a big family like this. that's a beautiful ring, auntie eleanor. nick's father had it made when he proposed to me. how did you guys meet? actually, they met at cambridge, both studying law together. oh, i didn't know you were a lawyer! i withdrew from university when we got married. 0h! i chose to help my husband run a business and to raise a family. for me, it was a privilege. but for you, you may think it's old—fashioned. but all of this doesn't just happen. it's because we know to put family first. it's, it's. .. i don't think i'm going to mess with her! but isn't that great? it is a really terrifically steely performance. what i liked about the film, i mean, there has been a lot of talk about how culturally important it is, that we haven't seen a major hollywood studio produce a movie with this kind of cast since thejoy luck club, which is, you know, two decades ago... oh, yes, long time ago! ..and that means immediately the film comes with a lot of cultural baggage and a lot of roles that it has to fill. but the main question is, does it work, is it funny, is it engaging?

and looking at some of the trailers, i was worried. i thought "this is gonna be like sex in the city with all the wealth and consumerism." i actually found myself rather enchanted by this. firstly, there's a very a likeable cast. i mean, when they need to be funny, awkwafina is very, very funny. michelle yeoh is very not—funny, which i think works really well. the second thing is that although certain bits of the construction of the drama are a bit creaky — i mean, if you know rom—coms, it does take all the familiar rom—com traits, it's not sort of breaking new ground in terms of its narrative, but it's being played with — it's breathing enough new life into those old riffs to make them work. and also the narrative was going off into areas, into darker areas than i expected. because, on the one hand, there is all of this wealth and stuff going on but the whole attitude is, this is not a great thing, these people are scary people and, you know, there are battles that have to be fought. and also, as the characters reveal their back stories, there were surprises. there were genuinely things,

ithought "oh, i really didn't think the movie was going in that direction." so, i confess i went in with my slightly sniffy critic's hat on thinking, "yeah, 0k, impress me. make me laugh" and it did. and not only did it make me laugh, towards the end, it made me cry. and, as you know... 0h! that's the perfect film! you laugh and you cry. i laughed and i cried. it is mark kermode's perfect film! no—one was more surprised than me, so, you know, go along and... i'm really looking forward to it. i'm really looking forward to it, very much. as, in fact, i am the rider. a very, very different film. very different. so, this is chloe zhao, who made songs my brothers taught me. it is a film about rodeos and the people that work on rodeos and it is using non—professional actors playing very, very close to home. the central character, brady, who we first meet when he is recovering from a fall, a terrible fall, which has left him with a metal plate in his head, and he has been told he cannot ride any more, he cannot go back to the rodeo. his sister and his father play versions of themselves, so their interaction is very sort of realistic. on the one hand, it is a film about pursuing your dreams

and what it means to follow your dreams and what it means when those dreams throw you. and it has a touch of the melancholia of that film lean on pete, which i liked very much... i liked that, yes. ..but also a tougher edge, a harder edge — a little bit of the perhaps of the florida project in terms of the kind of realism. you know, it is about what dreams mean and it's about the kind of the down—to—earth reality of the situation, but it's done with real compassion, real conviction, you absolutely believe in these characters, not least because, as i said, they are playing so close to home. and it achieves a kind of poetry. it's very, very moving. it's slow, you know — which i think it needs to be, it takes its time to tell its story — but i thought it was really beautifully done. slow is not always bad. it can be hugely enjoyable. no, absolutely! now, lucky. yeah. the final — i mean, one of the last films made by the great harry dean stanton. again, it's a melancholy film about an old—timer on his last hurrah. he's called lucky. we see him, he gets up and does his exercise, he has a cigarette —

he smokes constantly — he goes to the diner where he does the crossword, he goes to the bar where he hangs out with his kind of misfit group of buddies. at the diner, he meets up with another ex—veteran — another veteran, pardon me — with whom he starts having a conversation which appears to be about nothing but is actually about everything. here's a clip. marines, huh? yessir. you? navy. 0h! 0k, ok, you guys are great. you always give us a lift to the fight. i read somewhere that the marines didn't have the mental capacity to understand the inner workings of a ship. world war ii, huh? pacific. yeah, same here.

did you ever get around the philippines? yeah, i spent a couple of years in that slice of heaven. yeah, me too, but i never got off the boat. consider yourself lucky. now, that scene is kind of reminiscent of a similar scene from the straight story, the david lynch film, and it's no surprise that david lynch himself plays one of the characters in the film — he plays howard, who lucky meets in a bar, who is very distressed because his tortoise, who he's had for ages, has run away. and there is a long philosophical discussion about his friendship with this tortoise and what it means that the tortoise has left. and he gets — he says to people, "you don't understand. a tortoise is really, really important. " and what the film is about is, on the one hand, it's about facing the inevitability of death and it's also about the fact that, even if life itself appears to be meaningless, we should approach it with a smile. it's quietly philosophical. it's often quite funny. it's very touching. it has an odd theatrical quality to it, particularly in the bar scenes.

there are some sequences in which you think, "are they acting stiffly on purpose, or is that part of a device?" it reminded me also of some of the films ofjim jarmusch, you know, that observational, you'll look at something with a slightly off—kilter eye. and, as i said, it's very charming, very touching, very gentle. there is a darkness behind it because he has these dreams of the void but it's a film which wins you over because it is such strange company to be in, but actually generous and benevolent. and as i said, in the end the message is keep smiling, because it is all you can do, which i think is a good message. i love it. from everything you have said, i absolutely love it. good! and your film of the week, i also loved, even though i spent 1.5 hours just feeling very angry. it was beautifully made. the miseducation of cameron post, which is desiree akhavan's adaptation of emily danforth's novel about a teenager in the ‘90s sent to a christian gay conversion therapy centre where, you know, all this stuff —

we will tell you all this stuff and somehow it will change your same—sex attraction! ‘cause there's no such thing as homosexuality, there isjust sin. i thought the triumph of the film was although the subject matter is very dark, and it doesn't shy away from that, it's also — there is a lot ofjoy in the film. this lovely irony that chloe grace moretz‘s character is sent to this place where actually, she meets the very group of friends that everyone is trying to keep her away from so, i thought — but i understand that thing about there are times when it does make you angry. but there is more humour in it than i anticipated, and that's what makes it work as a film. and it's set in the early ‘90s, but boy does it seem relevant to the politics of today which, again, i thought was very important. goodness, yes! like spike lee's blachklansman, it's a period setting but it feels very, very urgent and contemporary. yes, and they started filming it i think before trump was elected. the election happened mid—shoot. it would have been an interesting wrap party that night. yeah, you have to see that to get that, but it is extraordinary. it feels contemporary, doesn't it,

even though it's set in ‘93. it does. and dvd? so, very quickly, this is zama, which is the superb film by lucrecia martel, who made the headless woman. it is an 18th—century story about the titular character who is in a south american colony longing for reassignment to buenos aires. it is a film which on the one hand has a very down—to—earth political story, on the other hand, it has a dreamlike quality to it. it's very, very poetic. it's also — you know, the best movies are movies which tell their story through images, rather than characters sitting down and explaining to you what is going on. you could watch zama and take away seven different stories. what i really like about it was, like the best cinema, it is a visual storytelling. it is a film which is a film, not just an argument. i really liked it. really, really liked it. it is called zama and it is on dvd. excellent, and i love it when you bring something that i know nothing about and then i can think about it for the weekend. thank you very much.

you're welcome. good to see you, mark. thank you. and a quick reminder before you go that you can find all of the film news and reviews from across the bbc online, there's the address. all our previous film review programmes are on the iplayer as well of course. really cracking week, i think, and enjoy your cinema—going, whatever you choose to see. thanks for being with us, bye—bye. hello. we had the autumnal chilly start with a little mist and fog last week. this week, we have autumnal gales and some soaking rain in the forecast. we've had a little rain around this weekend, and through the course of sunday, it's made its way further south across england and wales, as we saw in wigan. this is the main band of rain, but all the time it tends to be petering out, just a lot of rain and low cloud with it. to the north, it's brighter, with showers and some sunshine either side as well to the end of the day. through the evening and overnight, that misty, drizzly weather will sink into southern areas.

behind it, as the skies clear, it will turn a tad chilly with a bit of mist and fog around and generally light winds. further north and west, already we are starting to see a sign of a change coming into the south west of ireland towards morning. that's the first of the rain associated with the remnants of ex—hurricane helene, which is the tropical air, so will give us some soaking rains and, potentially, as you can see up through the irish sea, some strong to gale force winds. so, some autumnal gales up on the way before it whisks away, and we could have more gales on wednesday. but interestingly, as well as the wet and windy weather forecast, we'll also see temperatures really lifting as the warm, humid air drags its way into southern areas. so, the tropical air will also have the effect of giving southern parts temperatures in the mid—20s with some sunshine, as well. but clearly, there's concern about the amounts of heavy rain we'll get and the strength of the wind, which could cause disruption through monday evening, overnight and into tuesday. so, for monday, dawn's a little grey and drizzly, with some mist across the hills in the south. further north, brighter — any fog clears away.

it's a gradual improvement, a brightening spell through england and wales, but for scotland and northern ireland, there's a lot more cloud around, and some really quite heavy rain for a time. where it stays dry, potentially, south—eastern northern ireland, south—east scotland, 18-19, but 24-25 in the south and east. so, it will feel quite summerlike again. then through monday evening and overnight, we see more of rain, that deepening area of low pressure moving its way northwards. so, bringing gales to the irish sea coasts of england, wales, perhaps southern scotland as well. so, it will be a very mild night. these temperatures are really akin with the average by day at this time of year. so by tuesday, that's starting to move out the way, so quite a windy start tuesday morning, then we look to the atlantic for this next area of low pressure, which could bring even strong winds, potentially, some severe gales to the north and west. this is bbc news. the headlines. theresa may defends her brexit plan — as the prime minister hits out at speculation over her future.
