news. jeremy corbyn has confirmed the labour party would support another referendum on brexit if his party's conference backs the idea this week. mr corbyn says he'd prefer to settle questions over brexit with a general election, but would abide by the decision of party members. 0ur political correspondent, alex forsyth, reports from liverpool. all behind jeremy. get your copy of labour briefing. at labour's liverpool conference, there's one thing on most people's minds. there is growing demand among the rank and file for a labour to back another public vote on any brexit deal. today, the labour leader said he'd listen to party members. 0ur preference would be for a general election and then we can negotiate our future relationships with europe. but let's see what comes out of conference. we're a democratic party, we're very big. it's the biggest conference we've ever had. given that, do you feel bound by what the conference decides, as the leader? well, obviously. i'm there elected as
5:03 pm
a leader of this party. the government has ruled out another election, insisting a brexit deal is possible even after its plan was rejected by the eu. i think what we need to do hold our nerve, keep our cool, continue to negotiate in good faith and really press the eu to be clearer on what their objections are. but here, unsurprisingly, they‘ re not happy leaving it to the government. behind the scenes today, delegates will agree on motions the party will vote on later this week, deciding labour's position on another referendum, and some say it must be clear whether the party backs it or not. it's a bit of a binary choice. you can't really fudge that. we think we need a meaningful vote in parliament. failing that, we think that the prime minister needs to call a general election so we can have the debates among the deal and then it may be that we have to have a people's vote if parliament can't come to a view. but there is a warning. any vote should be about the way we leave the eu, not reversing brexit.
5:04 pm
the referendum shouldn't be on, do you want to... do we want to go back into the european union? that shouldn't even be an option? no. because the people have already decided on that. they say they'll listen to party members, but finding a view on brexit that unites labour supporters here and across the country, well, that's a conundrum forjeremy corbyn. let's talk to our chief political correspondent vicki young who is at the labour party conference in liverpool for us now. we can try her now. —— join or not. this week there will be a lively diploid about the issue whether labour back another referendum. there wasn't any agreement on it. tom watson, the deputy leader is saying that if the membership wants it, that it should be something that should go ahead with. the discusses iamjoined by should go ahead with. the discusses i am joined by the chair holder of the labour party. jimmy carter says
5:05 pm
he would one of the general election but denied the spores. the conservatives will not vote for another generaljeremy corbyn. conservatives will not vote for another general jeremy corbynm should be and there should be a general election. we want it. we have a situation where the government have been arguing among themselves for more than two years. this most crucial issues that will affect us controvert generations and they still can come up with any agreement among themselves. how are they quickly too, but the deal with they quickly too, but the deal with the other 27 eu nations? virtually impossible so we are heading for a cliff edge, we are heading for a no—deal brexit which will be catastrophic for the nation, for individuals, for business, for people in the workplace. so the a nswer people in the workplace. so the answer isn't to have another phone. we have already had a vote. that is the issue. we have had a vote and the issue. we have had a vote and the vote was to leave the eu. the challenge for political parties and
5:06 pm
the challenge for the labour party is to bring everybody together. we have constituents were spent but have constituents were spent but have parties are split. the conservatives haven't got a clue where they are in this any more. there is no symbols of control. and i believe a general election should be the preference rather than any call for a people's vote or a second referendum. which in many ways is the same thing. one poll out today has suggested that a huge majority of labour party members do want a second vote on brexit. so, how'd you deal with that? that's a prominent party, isn't it was a lot that is theissue, party, isn't it was a lot that is the issue, polls. the vast majority of opinion are inaccurate. i've never heard anybody who is said that we have been contacted by anybody with regard to this. but i fully understand that there is a big concerns about brexit and rightly so. concerns about brexit and rightly so. because of the problems it will
5:07 pm
create in the country. however we believe we should take anything from the table. we should be in a position to negotiate a brexit deal with the security and a secure economy,, with the security and a secure economy, , secure with the security and a secure economy,, secure environmental protections and a really good working relationship with the other 27 eu nations. and that is what we will be calling for. when jeremy corbyn spoke about this this morning about what labour would ask for in these initiations, he's asking for these initiations, he's asking for the impossible in many people are saying that theresa may is. full access to the single—payer —— this to the market, you want the benefits which you don't want these so—called outsides. the eu would never agree to this. i have always said all along that we should have brexit negotiations which would be a benefit to the uk. we want the benefit to the uk. we want the benefit of the single market and we wa nt
5:08 pm
benefit of the single market and we want a fresh in a straight... while they give that to you? and the same with their digging their heels with theresa may? it is in the process of negotiation, balanced negotiation and we believe quite categorically that the way in which the government of theresa may is trying to negotiate this brexit deal is being absolutely outrageous. we believe that the labour party approach would be much more amicable and a much more friendly. and by doing that with negotiations, we believe we would get a brexit deal which would be fit for purpose and support the country enters the security of employment and the economy which absolutely imperative. do you agree that some labour mps are asking to be deselected because they don't wa nt to be deselected because they don't want to be part of the transformation of the labour party? i think this is a huge issue in conference with regard to mps,
5:09 pm
mentor recession, sugar balance. we have had a great session today. —— trigger balance. we have 13,500 delegates here. people contained in this conference and it is fantastic. there has been a good, robust group. there'll be a demand and how we... lot of people and their are saying they do not want their mp. it hasn't been amicable. i have heard some the hall and you can't stop somebody from eating overly excited. but what we “— from eating overly excited. but what we —— the reality is we're looking ata we —— the reality is we're looking at a new way of thing urging all participation with the trade unions, more participation with the sea mps and more... members apartment had nothing to worry about. but at the end of the day like other people in society and particularly people in public office, people need to be accountable. but they would say they think there is going to be a perch
5:10 pm
that if you don't fall in line behind jeremy corbyn on anything —— everything and you will be ousted as an mp cybele that is just not true. it's absolutely not true. we have a democracy review. there have been 11,452 submissions for the democracy of review. we have all sorts of different ideas and views. however, the selection or the menswear reselection of mps was never part of the democracy review. it is not the democracy review. they submitted motions with regard to the potential of urban selections and we agreed to have a look in an alternative way of doing with the selection with members of parliament. members of parliament have got no need to worry at all. but at the end of the day, people need to be accountable and they need to be accountable of the people who elect them. it is difficult summer with lots of stores
5:11 pm
but anti—semitism in the party. jeremy corbyn was asked about that today and were, one of the mps said she still is i feel far enough. he didn't seem —— there didn't seem to be much confusion there. this is still a problem is and it was a lot people need to... people need a condo for this issue. anti—semitism has no play in the labour party. jeremy corbyn has apologised. he is apologise lots and lots of times public way to the jewish apologise lots and lots of times public way to thejewish community, the jewish leaders and public way to thejewish community, thejewish leaders and rabbis. and he has apologised. jeremy is really at the forefront now together with others of being part of a party rooting out the summit —— anti—semitism, rooting out islamophobia, written out anything with harassment or bullying in the party. and i think it's been a long and drawn—out process. they spoke very clearly and passionately about
5:12 pm
the need to eradicate the labour party, and society as well, of that horrible, vile disease of anti—semitism. jeremy —— jeremy has apologised. thank you very much. lots of lively debate to come from here today and in the coming days. vicki, thank you very much. vicki youngin vicki, thank you very much. vicki young in liverpool. a man has been arrested at buckingham palace. lets get more on this, i'm joned by our news correspondent simonjones. what has happened today was the man who is been arrested is 38 years old. we understand he was first detained by security staff at 12:47pm this afternoon at a visitors entrance to buckingham palace. and i understand he was. >> went to the security then the police were called and they arrived at around one o'clock and they arrested him on suspicion of possessing a firearm a toews her son gone. he is being taken to a police
5:13 pm
station in london we're not sure which one. —— a taster. they do not believe that this was terror related. and i understand this was all dealt with pretty calmly initially by the security officers at buckingham palace and the police when they arrived. the queen was not at buckingham palace at the time. she was on a break at balmoral in scotland. there have been attempts to breach security before buckingham palace to breach security before buckingham pa la ce eve n to breach security before buckingham palace even though it is very heavy presence. it is a high-profile building and we have seen attempts to get into the building in the past. it seems that this stays at the initial line of security that scanning equipment has certainly done itsjob scanning equipment has certainly done its job and alerted the police and initially the staff at buckingham palace to this man who had this taster. —— taser. it will bea had this taster. —— taser. it will be a big operation to establish what went on. certainly from what i understand, and the police are treating this as an isolated
5:14 pm
incident at the time. simon, thank you. iran's president, hassan rouhani, has accused american—backed gulf states of supporting the attackers who carried out yesterday's assault on a military parade. 25 people, including 12 revolutionary guards, were killed, in one of the worst attacks against the elite force. president rouhani spoke as he left tehran for new york to attend the un general assembly. he says he's ready to confront the united states and its gulf arab allies. translation: the victims fell as innocent murderers. undoubtably the islamic republic of iran does not overlook this crime. it's clear to us overlook this crime. it's clear to us which group the attackers belonged to and to where they are linked. the small puppet countries that we see in the region are backed by america and the united states is provoking them and giving them the necessary capabilities to commit these crimes. the president of iran.
5:15 pm
chris buckley well a short time ago, our correspondent chris buckler, who's in washington, told me more about the accusations that are being made by tehran. iran has not presented any evidence oi’ iran has not presented any evidence or given specifics about who was responsible. but they believe these are gulf states who were involved in this attack. they actually pointed the finger at sub that —— and wash in washington for supporting those goals is. the vesnin pointed right back mike nikki haley the us ambassador to the un. she says that the president has to look at what his country has been doing. but they have been oppressing the people she says. and then they would try to work out exactly why this attack has happened. but you can imagine that all of this and particularly this time to bash this kind of rhetoric will cause more tension between the us and around particularly ahead of this un general assembly meeting because already we have had the us bought a the orion nuclear deal and more economic sanctions on iran. —— the iran nuclear deal. this will damage you cause me and cause problems for the country. where will
5:16 pm
it run try to cause —— draw support from when it gets to the un? well, they can try to make the argument that those who are still inside this iran nuclear deal including the uk of course and consider them "listen we are trying to do our best to address the concerns that you have. we're doing our best to try to stop the use of nuclear weapons to try and stop their spread. " and that the dreaded support there. of the same time you presidentjohn kind of put pressure on those countries. —— jeff president trump. and we have party scene that there is a danger of businesses they sing from —— —— facing... the crazy real tension there. perhaps one of the most interesting things during this whole meeting of the un general assembly is the meaning of the un security council because it will be chaired by donald trump himself. specifically it is about trying to stop the spread of weapons of mass
5:17 pm
distraction. but he has already said that as far as he's concerned, it is a meeting about iran. that is going to be what —— watch very carefully specifically by president rouhani. the headlines on bbc news. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, and his deputy, tom watson, say they would back another brexit referendum if that's what party members want. a man has been arrested at buckingham palace on suspicion of possession of a taser. us media giant comcast outbids rupert murdoch's 21st century fox to buy tv broadcaster sky for more than £30 billion. iran's president accuses american—backed gulf states of supporting groups behind a deadly terror attack on a military parade yesterday. polls have closed in the maldives, in an election which opposition groups have warned will not be free and fair. president abdulla yameen is seeking a second term in office, despite concerns about his record on human rights and the jailing of his rivals.
5:18 pm
president yameen has links to china, while his opponent, ibrahim mohamed solih, is seen as leaning towards india and the west. directors of the british broadcaster, sky, have urged shareholders to accept a takeover offer worth more than £30 billion from the us media giant, comcast. after a long—running battle against rupert murdoch's 21st century fox, comcast won the auction for sky, as our business editor simonjack reports. it's been an epic battle between two heavyweights of the media world. in the final round, us cable giant and universal studios owner comcast delivered a knockout blow, offering £30 billion, 10% more than the disney—backed 21st century fox was prepared to pay. the prize — sky's 23 million customers across europe, ten million of them in the uk. the final bid has come in at £17.28, which is a 17% increase on the previous offer for sky, so they certainly have. and i think for comcast, sky is a very important strategic asset.
5:19 pm
it will help them diversify outside of the us, where they're seeing pressure of cord—cutting — that is consumers are less and less paying for big, expensive cable packages. so why are all these megadeals happening now? look no further than the new kids on the block, netflix and amazon. both are winning new subscribers around the world. both are pouring billions into making their own original content. in the short—term, sky customers will notice little difference. both bidders had agreed to fund loss—making sky news for at least the next ten years. putting up prices will be hard, given the red—hot competition for eyeballs. comcast may have won, but they had to pay £30 billion. the real winners this weekend are the sky shareholders, which include the family of one rupert murdoch. he may not have succeeded in buying all of sky as he once wanted, but he will not be going home empty—handed. simon jack, bbc news. a british man who says he is a pharmacist from birmingham has been detained in syria on suspicion of being a member of the so—called islamic state group.

fraudsters scammed almost 49,000 older people across the uk in the past year, equivalent to nearly six every hour. caroline davies reports. it's a crime that can happen in your own home, as simple as a convincing phone call or a few clicks on a computer. and for one group in particular, reported cases of fraud are becoming more common. the cost of personal fraud across all ages is estimated to be around £10 billion a year. figures requested in an investigation by 5 live show that nearly 49,000 people aged over 60 reported that they had been scammed and more than 1,000 of those victims were over 90. some experts worry the real number of over—60s affected is far higher and that older people are particularly at risk as they are more likely to live alone and be drawn into conversation with a fraudster. the impact can be devastating, leaving victims without savings, potentially reliant on the state to pay for their care. those who do fall victim to fraud

launched what is being described as the world outside biggest... india's prime minister, narendra modi, has launched what's been described as the world's biggest universal health care scheme. the plan, dubbed as modicare, aims to give 500 million people, nearly half of india's population, free health insurance. but critics say the government has failed to prepare the necessary infrastructure to implement the billion—pound programme. devina gupta reports. niva 1.6 niva1.6 million people die every year because of lack of access to affordable health care in india. the national health protection mission is meant to plug this gap to help the shortage of 7001 or dollars. but unlike most of the global public health seems to cover all the citizens, india by some policy will only cover a transmittal trimming costs like surgery and cancer care for 500 million of the country by the force. while the government claims that this will make two or

5:27 pm
danny shaw reports. he's talked down a suicide bomber, been shot at in a car, and duffed up a government advisor. agh! all in day's work for a close protection officer? here's one man who should know. i have protected theresa may when she was home secretary, you're right, and it is nothing and was nothing like what david budd did. agh! the way we operate is not quite like david budd, who seems to be operating independently! so independently, he even has an affair with the home secretary. that's not realistic at all! anybody who crosses that line would not last very long within the department and might not last very long within the police service. but the met police wants to capitalise on the popularity of bodyguard. there's been a surge of interest injoining the force. it needs to recruit detectives and technology experts. it's about encouraging people
5:28 pm
to have an ambition, dream big, and actually, some day you could be protecting her majesty the queen, or protecting the home secretary. but you're not going to get that instantaneously. one feature of the programme is the large number of senior female officers and detectives from black and minority ethnic groups. it takes some doing... the reality is rather different. they're in a minority, as this asian counterterrorism detective told me. she doesn't want to be identified because of the sensitive nature of her role. women and bme officers are in every rank and every specialism in the police service. so it's not a rare thing. we do have senior female officers, we also have senior bme officers. but we still do need more diversity, without a shadow of a doubt. the character of david budd makes great telly and may inspire some potential recruits, but he's no substitute for a real close protection officer. it's not about making waves —

hour at 12 under par. three shots clear ofjustin rose. i would love to be able to win this event. a bunch of guys behind me and have been playing well and are playing well. we will see what happens tomorrow. anthony joshua knocked out his opponents at wembley to retain his opponents at wembley to retain his title but now attention turns to who he will fight next, a clash that could see him become the undisputed heavyweight champion. he has said he is happened to —— happy to face off against the upcoming champion of any further matches. the smile that is becoming the symbol of his unstoppable success. joshua carries the belts and the
5:40 pm
burden of his sport, but with each belt he gets even better. who is going to be to me? the toughest of the toughest. get king kong. the old school. get them to fight aj, see who will be time. —— see who will beat me. joshua was dropped in the first round. his opponent raised the prospect of a massive upset but joshua has conquered adversity in the past and would do so again. the champion showing why he is on top of his profession, pouncing on his russian prey to score a ruthless knockout and stay on course for a potential super belt in six months' time. he showed the world why he is number one and why many people believe he is number one. in 2019 will have the opportunity to see who will have the opportunity to see who will the true number one is. the
5:41 pm
only title missing from joshua's collection is held by the american boxer, while tyson. is another possible opponent. for a boxer with a dream of becoming the undisputed king of his profession. the key question is, who it will be fighting against russia in april. as the clamourfor him against russia in april. as the clamour for him intensifies, against russia in april. as the clamourfor him intensifies, it will be one of the biggest matches the sport has ever seen. can the promoters figure she would would be one of the biggest fights of all time to determine the undisputed world heavyweight champion?m time to determine the undisputed world heavyweight champion? it could ta ke world heavyweight champion? it could take a lot of work. by ken —— you know when no sewage will be. i'm in who everyone wanted to be. that is the unbeaten american who holds one of the american belts. they want the
5:42 pm
american to sign the contract now, this week, tomorrow at possible. the problem is, he has an appointment, a fight with tyson fury on december the 1st. they still want him to commit himself and went the fight in april. it will not speak tyson who will beat him and that is because if tyson were to be to the american, there would be a rematch and he would not fight joshua there would be a rematch and he would not fightjoshua on april 13th. last night many people mentioned the american boxer who has had many fights with anthonyjoshua. if you are asking me to gamble for charity, i am gambling that it will be the american on april the 13th. meanwhile, the roses fought back from three points down in the final minutes of the game. they won 45—42.

5:44 pm
to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. it's almost becoming a habit! it is. what have you got for us this week? it is a very strange week. we have the little stranger, the new film by lenny abrahamson. we have a simple favor, which i know you are going to see it this weekend, so you are looking forward to the review. can't wait. and the house with a clock in its walls, a sort of family fantasy with a horror inflection. 0k. so first, the little stranger, is this about a haunted house, or haunted residence? the question about whether it is actually haunted is sort of central to it, so it is based on a novel by sarah waters, stars domhnall gleeson. he, dr faraday, goes to a house where he is called to attend to someone working there, who appears to be ill, but he thinks they are just freaked out.
5:45 pm
something has scared them. and it turns out that he went to this house when he was a child, where his mother worked there and he was completely overwhelmed by the house and he fell in love with it. now he goes back, and the house is crumbling, and the people inside the house appear to be coming apart. and everyone is sort of slightly brittle, slightly on edge and there is something creepy going on on the background. here's a clip. how did you find the patient, doctor? mrs ayres. mother, this is dr faraday. he thinks we're brutes. a little under the weather. i imagine she'll be quite well by tomorrow. you'll observe a change in betty yet. this house works on people. girls come here like specks of grit. ten years later, they leave as pearls. i expect dr faraday's thinking betty won't stick it out for ten years. most girls would rather work in factories these days, and who can blame them? as it happens, i was
5:46 pm
thinking of my mother. she was a maid here before i was born. well, i do hope she enjoyed her time. right, roderick. so there is — something is wrong. there is talk about the house being haunted by, you know, by the little stranger. fantastic performance by ruth wilson there, who is somebody who seems to be trapped in the house. it is like the fall of the house of usher, everything is falling apart around her. the question is, is it a haunting or are people imagining things, or is it them projecting their fears on to the house itself? if you have ever read the haunting of hill house, the shirley jackson novel, one of the greatest ghost stories ever written, there is a lot of that in this. one of the problems, it has been marketed slightly as a horror film. it is not. it is absolutely not a horror film.
5:47 pm
it's a psychological drama, which happens to have a ghostly edge, and you can read pretty much the whole film in one of two different ways. i liked it. i liked the fact it lets the pot simmer rather than boil. it is paced very moderately, it takes its time, it tells the story in an orderly fashion, but you get this growing sense of disorder. there is a couple of really terrific performances in it, i think particularly ruth wilson, who is great. my only worry is, i think some audiences might grow slightly impatient if they go, thinking it is going to be a ghost story, it's going to be a chiller, which is why when you say is it a ghost story, yes, but no. it's — you can read it in a number of ways, but i thought it was rather well done, and rather impressive in a very low—key, very understated fashion. it is very spare, isn't it, the way it is, the script is quite stripped back. it builds up tension. you get a sense something is wrong but you are not quite sure what, and as i said, the key to this
5:48 pm
is the haunting of hill house, which is the urtext from all modern ghost stories and it is written large on this. i am really slightly anxious now about the second film, which is a simple favor. i have been co—opted by my 14—year—old daughter to go and see this film, so, tell me it's a good choice. it is directed by paul feig. andrea kendrick is this staid supermum, who she is somebody is at school being all perfect and over volunteering. her son makes friends with another child whose mother is blake lively‘s martini—swilling pr executive. they form an unlikely friendship. anna's kendrick‘s character starts to see a possible new world opening up to her — and then herfriend disappears. somebody described this as gone girl'sjust wanna have fun. it is definitely — it wasn't my line, it is a good one, but not mine. it's the most crazy mishmash of genres. 0n the one hand it's a ditsy romcom,
5:49 pm
then it's a twisted erotic a thriller, then it's an old—fashioned whodunnit. the book was described as being like in the mould of gone girl, and yet somebody else described it as a post noir comedy. there are times watching it i thought, this is the most chaotic film i have ever seen. however, i liked it. and the reason i liked it was because you have two great performances, anna kendrick, blake lively, who — even when the film is careering around like a boat tossed on a roaring ocean, they somehow keep their eye on the horizon, and as long as you stick with them you go with it. one minute it's funny, the next it's weird, then it's twisted, then you are meant to take it seriously, then it is not. it really did seem sometimes like channel surfing, but you have these two central performances, they sink their teeth into it gleefully. it has a nice bite to it. i came out thinking, "that was all over the shop, but i liked it". i think i am going to need a lie down after it, but i will go and see it anyway.
5:50 pm
you'll enjoy it. as you come out, ask yourself, what that was all about? genre? what genre? the house with a clock in its walls. if the cast is anything to go by, it should be a treat. very good cast. jack black, cate blanchett, based on a popular book from the 1970s. an orphaned kid is sent to stay with his uncle, played by jack black, who is a warlock. he conjures up spells cate blanchett is the next door neighbour, mrs zimmerman, with whom he has a sparring but ultimately loving relationship. here is a clip. that's a lot of clocks. what constitutes a lot is really a matter of personal taste. for me, it's a perfect amount of clocks. oh, sorry, there's a deranged cuckoo in there. your ratchet wheel's shot and the click spring's not far behind. hello, you're lewis, i presume. how was your trip? this old hag is my next door
5:51 pm
neighbour, mrs florence zimmerman. i'm relieved to see you didn't inherent your uncle's freakishly oversized head. ha! says the woman who literally looks like a q tip. oh look, the giant head is angry. my god, did that withered purple skeletonjust speak? she thinks she's smarter than me because she has more college degrees. no, i think i'm smarter than you because i'm smarter than you. the relationship between those two is actually the most fun of the film. the rest of it, it is directed by eli roth, who is known as a hard—core horror director, and did things like hostel. this is a very strange choice for him. i have to say, i don't think it works. it's, although the source material predates harry potter and those novels, the film looks very much like, not even post harry potter, post percy jackson and the lightning thief. it has a lot of special effects, but for a film about magic it isn't very magical. the script doesn't hang together in any way, so as the narrative is unfolding,
5:52 pm
what is the thing with the clock, the back story? so at no point does it do that thing that one of the movies needs to do, which is to click, oh i'm in a different area, i'm in a new realm, you know, magical possibilities. so it's a mess. one of the strange things is i like, you know, films for younger viewers that have a bit of scares in them. i remember thinking that the harry potter movies were hammer movies for younger viewers, and i mean that in a good sense because i am a big fan of the hammer films. this felt all over the place. it is interesting because it has a lot of resources, it has this source material and a very good cast, and special effects, all available to the director, and yet it is a mess of a film that i think will disappoint more than it will enchant. some people will get some fun out of it because there are some nice moments, particularly in the relationship between the two central adults, but beyond that, i don't see it having a huge shelf life. best out is wajib,
5:53 pm
a palestinian drama. yes, i really liked this. this was the palestinian entry for the foreign language film 0scar, although it wasn't nominated. it is the story of father and son, who are estranged, travelling round nazareth in the run—up to christmas, but they are handing out wedding invitations, which they have to do by hand, that is the wajib, the duty of the title. and as they travel around, you discover their relationship, how they have fallen out. one has has stayed, one has gone away, one is young, one is old, there is resentment, and yet it is really funny, very subtle. it is kind of bitter in some places, it blends the personal and the political. it is very low—key, and i thought it was kind of wonderful. it did the thing i want a film to do, which is to intrigue me about the characters, and i thought it was really good. it is called wajib. it's a very small release, but if you get a chance, do check it out, it's really good. and best dvd this week is the breadwinner, which is an animation. and a hand drawn one at that? it is an animation
5:54 pm
directed by norah twomey. it is made by the people who made song of the sea, so it's not one of those 3d digital animations. this has cut outs and hand drawns and different forms of animation. it is the story of a young girl living in taliban era kabul, whose father and brother are arrested, and leaving only women in the house. women are not allowed to go out on their own, so she has to disguise herself as a boy to go out into the town, and suddenly she discovers this whole new world when she changes gender. it is brilliant. it deals with some dark subject matter but in a way that is accessible. they have made it so it can be watched by viewers of all ages. there is tough stuff in it, though. i loved it, it is one of my favourite films of the year. i thought it was brilliant. mark, as ever, thank you very much. particularly for the reassurance over the choice of our film this weekend. do ask yourself, what was that all about? i expect to be bamboozled. a quick reminder before you go, you will find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online. and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. thanks for watching.
