5:01 pm
the scottish first minister, nicola sturgeon, has said her mps would vote in favour of another referendum on eu membership, if that proposal was put forward at westminster. speaking at the start of the snp conference in glasgow, ms sturgeon also suggested scottish independence was "inevitable". the snp leader said the party's mps would oppose any brexit deal that falls short of staying in the single market and customs union. we cannot have a situation of fire or frying pan. in those circumstances, mps of all parties should come together and look at the alternatives, no doubt a second referendum would grow in those circumstances and i have said before
5:02 pm
that we would not stand in the way of a second referendum or a people's vote, snp mps would vote for this. our correspondent nick eardley spoke to us from the conference. nicola sturgeon had always been clear that the snp wouldn't stand in the way of another eu referendum, but this morning, she has gone further. in that clip, she said that snp mps would vote for another one if parliament is asked, and i amjoined by the man who leads that group at westminster, ian blackford. this offer to support another eu referendum, is it conditional on anything? no, we will support moves for a people's vote, but what we do want to point out at the same time is that scotland voted to stay in the eu, 62% to 38%. what we have made clear is that we want minimum damage done to our economy and we want to stay in the single market
5:03 pm
and customs union. the people's vote will allow that expression of views to be expressed again and we will support that. but we are making the point that if scotland votes overwhelmingly to stay, and england continue to reject moves to stay in the eu, we need to have our own solutions in scotland, to protect the economic interests of scotland's people, that is our responsibility. in that context, we will need to have the option of having an independence referendum, keeping scotland in europe as an independent nation. would you want to be allowed to hold another independence referendum, to be part of that process of having another eu referendum? our wishes must be respected and if scotland does vote to stay in the eu, as i expect it will, and we need to give voice to that. if england wishes to come out, that is a decision that the people of england can take,
5:04 pm
that we must make sure we defend scotland's interestes, staying in europe. interests, staying in europe. some in your party say they are ocncerned that this sets a precedent. now you have backed a second eu vote, if scotland were to vote for independence, you would have to have a confirmation referendum on the terms of that as well. is that fair? let's just nail that, because there is a difference... what is the difference? when people voted in 2014 in scotland, there was a white paper that was put in front of the people of scotland, a detailed opposition. a detailed proposition. the whole problem in 2016 was that it was a slogan on the side of a bus that was used as a mechanism to get people to vote for brexit. so under the circumstances, people did not vote for what will happen, people did not vote to become more poor, to come out of this market and customs union. it is quite different that people were clamouring for a second opinion on that. when the snp and scottish government comes in front of the people and has a detailed proposition.
5:05 pm
you have also said that your party won't vote for anything short of the single market and the customs union membership of both, in any deal, the prime minister comes back from brussels with. does that make the prospect of a no deal more likely? no, because there is a majority in the house of commons to stay in the single market and customs union. but, our prime minister is held to ransom by the right—wing elements in her own party. i am saying to her that recognising to stay in the single market and customs union is the best option, not just for scotland, but the whole of the uk. trust parliament to work with you on delivering that. what if she doesn't do that? as the prime minister and government have suggested, the deal she comes back from brussels with, would have to be signed off by 27 other states or nothing. what makes you think you can force her hand after that? if we are talking about the chequers
5:06 pm
deal, there is still an enconomic impact in scotland. jobs will be lost, people will be poorer. we have to put across strongly that there is an alternative to that. the only thing we can support is the least worst option, the one that protects jobs and investment across the uk. some people will think that is risking a no deal, in terms of getting what you want. we don't want a no deal, nor do we want a bad deal. we want a deal that will protect the interests of scotland and the uk. i will be arguing that we should stay in the single market and customs union, we have support across the party from the lib dems and greens and plaid cymru. we are going to see michel barnier in october and i am asking them to back this proposition. let's make sure that we don't put our constituents on the dole by an act of gross economic stupidity by coming out of the single market and customs union. how likely do you now think
5:07 pm
another eu referendum is? you are the largest party in parliament to support it, as do the lib dems and plaid cymru. some labour and conservative backbenchers as well. but you are a significant minority. we are signalling that the deal which is unsatisfactory, we have the option of having a people's vote. on that basis, we are happy to support that. but still, you're such a small number in parliament, this seems unlikely. we will work collaboratively with others across the chamber to see if we can get a majority for that proposition. thank you very much. the conference here in glasgow is about to get under way. we expect to hear from the first minister, nicola sturgeon soon. her big speech is on tuesday, where we may get some more details that position on another eu referendum. just to recap, the snp is saying
5:08 pm
that if an eu referendum was brought to parliament, they would back it and they would be the biggest party to do so. a second customer is believed to have died from a suspected allergic reaction to a product bought from pret a manger. the person, who hasn't been named, died last year after eating a flatbread sandwich which was supposed to be dairy—free. it follows the death of 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse who died in 2016 after eating a baguette from the chain. our correspondent, caroline davies, explained the background to the latest incident. we know that the incident took place in december in bath last year. a customer bought a super veg rainbow flatbread which was supposed to be dairy free. we don't know the name of the person, but we do know they collapsed and died after eating the sandwich. pret a manger say they were mis—sold guaranteed dairy free yoghurt. pret a manger said it withdrew
5:09 pm
all of the affected products, ended its contract with coyo and is in legal action. coyo had to withdraw products in february, and they told us that the claims made by pret a manger are unfounded. the said their product they had to recall was only supplied to them after this person died, so it couldn't be the cause of death. this comes after the inquest after the death of a 15—year—old girl who died in 2016 after she ate a baguette bridges from pret a manger. of course, that inquest started a conversation about retailers, suppliers, responsibilities towards people with allergies and how to keep people safe. it is important to point out that at this stage,
5:10 pm
the investigation is ongoing. although pret a manger have suggested the case is related to allergies, we haven't been given an official cause of death yet. a man has been shot and killed in liverpool by a man on a bike. a murder investigation was launched after the 27—year—old man was shot in the belle vale area of the city. he was treated at the scene but died later in hospital. police say the gunman was believed to be wearing an orange high—vis jacket and have appealed for witnesses to come forward. president trump has welcomed what he called an "historic" decision by the us senate, to confirm his nominee brett kavanaugh, to the supreme court. justice kavanaugh has faced a series of allegations of sexual abuse, which he's strongly denied. his lifetime appointment, approved by 50 votes to a8, could take america's highest court down a more conservative path. police have confirmed 20 people have been killed after a a crash
5:11 pm
involving a limousine in upstate new york. the limousine, which was reportedly carrying a wedding party, collided with another vehicle in schoharie, which is 170 miles north of new york city. an investigation is currently under way to determine what happened and new york state police say they are not revealing the names of those killed at this stage. officials in indonesia say the number of people confirmed to have died in the earthquake and tsunami, has risen to more than 1700. hundreds more are believed to be missing, buried in rubble and mudslides. rescue officials say they'll abandon the main searches for victims this thursday. hywell griffth sent this report from petobo on the island of sulawesi. slowly, some sort of normality is coming back to sulawesi, a basic economy of the bare essentials.
5:12 pm
the indonesian government has told people they must start thinking about the future. but how do you do that when everything you own has been swept away? this 15—year—old and his father are hoping to salvage something from their home, but it's hard after the house was carried 400 metres by a mudslide. translation: i saw it from a distance. i was afraid. i was sad. i was searching around trying to find my mum and my sisters. his mother was found alive, but his sister and his niece were both killed in petobo‘s mudslide. 500 families used to live here. so far, they've found at least 300 bodies. but in reality, they may never be able to know exactly how many people were trapped in this mud. the indonesian government has announced it will end search and rescue operations on thursday. it's likely petobo will then be declared a mass grave.
5:13 pm
nearby, this school isn't ready to reopen, but emergency tent classrooms could be set up this week. for this boy and his father, planning a future is still difficult, but they are desperate to try to rebuild their lives. scientists and representatives from nearly 200 governments have been meeting in south korea all week to try to agree a new report urging more ambitious global warming targets. tomorrow, they're expected to say increases in temperatures should be capped at 1.5 degrees celsius above pre—industrial levels. their report will warn countries that the existing target of two degrees, adopted in the paris agreement of 2015, is no longer enough. earlier one of the report's authors, professor myles allen, explained the impact such a temperature change could have on our lives. that was a huge achievement of the paris agreement
5:14 pm
but of course, everybody recognised at the time that the science available at the time didn't tell them what exactly that would mean. what were the benefits of limiting it to1.5, as opposed to allowing it to rise to two. and how much harder work would it be to meet a 1.5 degrees goal rather than settling for two. this is why the commissioned this new report. it is a very special report, but it is also a report specifically requested by the international community, asking us as academics to fill in the details, explain to them exactly what this 1.5 degrees goal means, so that they can then continue to discuss how they were managed to get that. it does, it is no secret that the implication of talking about 1.5 rather than two degrees is that we are talking about changes
5:15 pm
that will happen in our lifetimes. so, halting the increase in global temperature will require us to limit omissions over all time of carbon dioxide, reducing carbon dioxide emissions not by 20%, not by 50%, but actually by 100%, all the way down to zero. that means big changes. for example, if you're driving a car with a internal combustion engine. this is difficult it unless it is driven with hydrogen, it is difficult for that to be a zero carbon activity. so, most transition pathways envisage massive electrification of transport. that is one of the areas, because it will no longer be consistent with achieving our climate goals to continue to dump carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as we have been doing in the past. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has said a labour government would scrap
5:16 pm
universal credit, describing it as a shambles. but the conservative party chairman, brandon lewis, has defended the controversial benefits system. our political correspondent jonathan blake gave us this update. it's been beset by delays and problems and criticised really by not just a labour problems and criticised really by notjust a labour party, but select committee of mps and charities and the national hot office earlier this year to a report saying that eight yea rs year to a report saying that eight years after the work had begun to combine six benefits into one single monthly payment, only 10% of those who were expected to eventually benefit were on the system and they also pointed out it was costing around £700 per claim, four times as much as the government intends to spend when the system is fully operational. it was due to be all done and dusted n up and running by last year, of course that is now long—delayed and will not be until
5:17 pm
2023 that the universal credit system is up and running and just this week was all reports that the working page secretary estimate they had retired cabinet colleagues about the extent to which some benefit claims were going to lose out under the new system, two thirds of working age couples with children and half of lone parents would lose the equivalent of around £2400 per year. as you say, the labour shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell year. as you say, the labour shadow chancellor john mcdonnell has year. as you say, the labour shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell has this morning said that it is his you that this system should be scrapped. morning said that it is his you that this system should be scrappedlj think this system should be scrapped.” think most of when i have come to the conclusion is got to be scrapped. i've been listening to people over the last few weeks about the roll—out in that area. i have been looking at what the government said and how the accident to reform it. the reforms have not worked. we are at that stage now. it is not sustainable and more. it is not providing this safety net that
5:18 pm
people expect. when they need support. i don't think we are moving toa support. i don't think we are moving to a position now where it is not sustainable. it will have to go. until now as the labour‘s policy if they were elected into government to pause the universal credit system and see if an alternative could be workable because after so much money and time has been spent on this new system, it would be very difficult to reverse the changes but clearly he is going further back and in effect, preempting a consultation which labour is engaged and about what he should do about universal credit. the government is not putting forward any plans to change the system, staggering the roll—out process in places where it is up and running them it is working in the conservative party chairman brendan lewis the morning with ask for his response to mr mcdonnell‘s all for it to be scrapped. what we have outlined, even in the premises weeks, she outlined things like removing the borrowing cap and the council for building houses. ——
5:19 pm
given the prime minister spoke about. that is what we mean by the changes and austerity. also very clear about the fact, we will get what those independent panels come back with. we always have to make sure that it pays to work and we are making sure we help people get back into work and doing away that it is fairfor into work and doing away that it is fair for the taxpayer. that is what the government hopes of universal credit can achieve. making get better off for people to be an work rather than on benefits and providing a fair system for the taxpayer but at every turn it seems, is facing criticism about universal credit and the way is then implement it. -- it credit and the way is then implement it. —— it has been implemented. nicola sturgeon says snp mps would back another eu
5:20 pm
referendum if it was put to a vote at westminster. it's a boost to the campaign for another say on eu membership, which scotland's first minister links to the future of the united kingdom. we're on a journey that will end with independence. i think brexit brings the issues around this very sharply into focus. pret a manger says a supplier was to blame for a second death believed to be caused by an allergic reaction to one of its products. with his supeme court nomination in place, president trump looks to the midterm elections — nowjust a month away. the prominent saudi journalist turkish officials believe was killed inside his country's consulate in istanbul. throwing punches outside the ring — an ultimate fighting championship match descends into chaos.
5:21 pm
good evening. the scottish national party leader nicola sturgeon has said her party's 35 mps would vote in favour of another eu referendum — if given the opportunity to do so at westminster. her comments are a boost to the campaign for a so—called people's vote — although the first minister said the real solution for scotland was independence. it comes as theresa may seeks to strike a deal with the eu in the next few weeks, which would then need parliamentary approval. our scotland editor sarah smith reports. spilled on calls for a second referendum on the terms of brexit were accompanied through central london today by hundreds of dogs. their owners delighted to hear the snp now support their cause. while labour has not ruled out supporting a so—called people's vote, theresa may has said it will not happen. nicola sturgeon told the andrew marr show that, faced with a choice between a cobbled—together brexit deal or no deal at all, mps should look at an alternative. there is no doubt the calls for a second referendum would grow in those circumstances and i've said before, we would not stand in the way of a second referendum, a so—called people's vote. i think the snp mps would undoubtedly vote for that proposition. they would. that's a very important moment. the snp are the largest uk party
5:22 pm
to party to commit to a second referendum on brexit, with 35 mps now prepared to support it. but for many nationalists, that's not the referendum they really care about. tens of thousands joined a march in edinburgh yesterday in support of a second referendum on scottish independence. opinion polls published today suggest support is growing, but the question is when to call another vote. as soon as possible because we are out of europe by april. when would it be right to have another independence referendum? two years after brexit. i think then we will see the damage that's been done to the scottish economy. i understand why there is a delay because you need to find out what the terms of brexit are before we have a second referendum. nicola sturgeon promised an update on the timing of an independence referendum this autumn. now she says we must wait until we know the details of any brexit deal.
5:23 pm
the challenge is how to maintain her supporters' enthusiasm as she keep them waiting. nicola sturgeon‘s support for a people's vote on brexit is very interesting because until now, the leadership have been very cautious about this. just a couple of weeks ago, nicola sturgeon has helped but her concern was if you had another vote, it could get the same way as the one in 2016, with scotland voting to remain in the uk, to remain in the eu, rather, but being outvoted by the rest of the uk. she has obviously changed her mind about that out and says she will back a second referendum. the scottish tories have responded by saying this shows the snp are only interested in a neverendum and we should just get on with brexit. the sandwich chain pret a manger has said another of its customers has died from a suspected allergic reaction.
5:24 pm
the company is blaming one of its suppliers. it says a yoghurt which was supposed to be dairy—free contained traces of milk protein. the supplier, a company called coyo, has dismissed the claim as "unfounded". it follows the death of another pret customer, 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse, from a reaction to sesame seeds. our correspondent duncan kennedy is in bath. well, this is the shop behind me where the sandwich was bought. we don't know yet whether this involves a male or a female, an old or young person, a local person or a tourist. all the company are saying is that they are extending their sympathies to the family of the dead person, to say that this time this is not about food labelling, this is about food allergies and they're very much pointing the finger at one of their suppliers, a company called coyo space in kent. coyo themselves have denied the allegations saying that
5:25 pm
pret‘s claims are unfounded. denied the allegations saying that pret's claims are unfounded. this is the type of rain broke —— rainbow flatbread at the centre of this incident. the person who ate one died in december of last year. we don't have details of the person yet but it is believed they had an allergic reaction to the project which was supposed to be dairy free but in fact contained some dairy protein. burdett has now led to a furious row between pret and one of its suppliers, a company called coyo. in a statement, pret a manger said... but coyo says pret's claims are unfounded. they say they did have a big call of food containing dairy
5:26 pm
but they say this was after the death. in a statement, coyo said... this latest tragedy comes after the death of natasha ednan—laperouse, who died from an allergic reaction after eating a pret a manger sandwich two years ago. after natasha's inquest the family welcomed pret's announcement that it would in future list all ingredients on its freshly made products. the death involving the bath pret a manger is not about labelling. instead it appears to be another incident connected to food allergies which affect thousands of people. well, coyo have said they are still waiting for more information from pret so they can carry out their investigation. pret themselves are standing by that statement saying
5:27 pm
they are taking legal action against coyo. in the meantime the coroner has begun an investigation into this death. duncan kennedy in bath, thank you. labour have said they would scrap the new welfare benefit universal credit, they say the reform has been a failure and is causing hardship for many people. it follows claims that some families will lose £200 a month with its introduction. the government has insisted that universal credit means that work pays, and ensures fairness for taxpayers. in an extraordinary diplomatic development, turkey has accused saudi arabia of murdering a well—known journalist inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. jamal khashoggi, a saudi national who writes for the washington post, has apparently not been seen since visiting the consulate on tuesday. saudi arabia says the accusation is baseless. mark lowen reports from istanbul. jamal khashoggi, mysteriously disappeared, or brutally murdered?
5:28 pm
the high—profile saudi dissident has long been a thorn in the side of his government. he hasn't been seen since entering the saudi consulate in istanbul last tuesday to get marriage papers. his turkish fiancee waiting outside sounded the alarm when he didn't emerge. turkey says it believes mr khashoggi was killed inside the consulate in a premeditated murder involving a saudi hit squad who removed his body. the saudis said that was baseless, opening cupboards in a bizarre attempt to show the journalist is not inside. they claim he left the building and don't know where he is. translation: i would like to confirm that the citizen jamal khashoggi is not at the do it nor in the kingdom of saudi arabia and the do it and the embassy working to search for him and we are worried about his case. the turkish president said police are examining
5:29 pm
cctv footage and called mr khashoggi a friend. after the claims of assassination, he sounded a little more cautious. translation: my expectations are still positive, god willing we do not face a situation that we do not want. his fiancee's hopes are the same. if it is proved that jamal khashoggi's life ended here, it would plunge already strained turkey saudi relations into crisis and could also force london and washington and other western governments to rethink their embrace of crown prince mohammed bin salman because this would amount to state—sponsored murder on foreign soil. from exile in the us, the washington post left blank space for jamal khashoggi's regular article, saying it would be monstrous and unfathomable if he had been killed. the man who went to his consulate to
5:30 pm
help him get married, now the subject of an international murder inquiry. mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. the indonesian authorities have announced plans to end their search for survivors of the earthquake and tsunami that struck sulawesi later this week. they say no—one has been found alive since the third day of the search. more than 1,700 deaths have been confirmed and 5,000 people are now believed to be missing. the operation to help survivors is intensifying, with plane loads of aid arriving at palu airport. president trump has told a rally of his supporters that the confirmation of brett kavanaugh as a us supreme courtjustice has energised the republican campaign for the us midterm elctions. brett kava naugh's nomination was finalised last night, despite a series of allegations of sexual misconduct, which he'd strongly denied. president trump says the battle showed what is at stake for the midterms. from washington, barbara plett—usher reports. the brutal partisan fight over brett kava naugh's nomination is over. but it's set the battle lines for what is to come. president trump is on the campaign trail. he did a victory lap
5:31 pm
over his supreme court success, but pivoted quickly to mid—term elections as the way to protect his historic achievement. on november 6th, you will have the chance to stop the radical democrats, and that's what they've become, by electing a republican house and a republican senate. we will increase our majorities. the gripping drama over judge kavanaugh's nomination raised the stakes on both sides, not only over the direction of the supreme court, but also over the direction of the metoo movement. those on the left accused republicans those on the right accused democrats of weaponising the metoo movement to assassinate the character of an innocent man. democrats, too, are capitalising on that anger. this is not a time to curl up. it is not a time to shut up, it is not a time to give up.
5:32 pm
it is a time to get up, to rise up, to speak up. and that's what women in particular are doing, not only in washington but in cities around the country. both parties are seething with anger and set on channelling that outrage into elections. outrage to elections. barbara plett—usher, bbc news, washington. formula 1, and lewis hamilton has moved to the brink of a fifth world championship with his latest victory in the japanese grand prix. the british driver is likely to claim the title at the us grand prix in austin, texas, in two weeks' time. in one of the most high—profile fights in the history of ufc, it is scenes of brawling that will be remembered and not the victory of khabib nurmagomedov over ireland's conor mcgregor. the fight was set to break the organisation's pay—per—view record but after the russian attacked his opponent's camp, the sport has been left with difficult questions.
5:33 pm
patrick gearey reports. this was supposed to be the climax of the ultimate fighting championship's biggest night. millions watching as the defending champion khabib nurmagomedov beat ireland's conor mcgregor, a chokehold to end weeks of hype and trash talk. except it didn't finish there. with mcgregor beaten, the russian‘s fury spilled out of the octagon. both fighters were then involved in brawls. three members of nurmagomedov‘s team were arrested, but later released. this is not my best time, you know. i am human being and... but i don't understand how people can talk about ijump on the cage. what about he talk about my religion, he talk about my country, he talk about my father? in the build—up to the fight, mcgregor had been punished for attacking a bus containing his opponent. the hysteria continued in the press conferences. at one stage, mcgregor threatened to put a hole in his opponent's skull. though some find it too violent to be classed as a sport, mixed martial arts is increasingly popular around the world and its supporters say it is a safe and skilled discipline. now the man who has overseen
5:34 pm
its growth admits what happens its growth admits what happened in vegas was damaging. i think it's bad for everybody, it's bad for the sport, it is bad for the brand, it is bad for all the guys from both camps. by the time nurmagomedov‘s victory was announced, he had been escorted from the arena. it was judged to be too unsafe to present him with his belt. this was a night with no celebrations. patrick gearey, bbc news. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. good evening. it has been an intriguing day for the teams at the top of the premier league. there was plenty of hype ahead of the game between champions, manchester city and liverpool. a disappointment. the best chance
5:35 pm
was for manchester city. the jaw was fouled. it was not given. both sides have been cancelling each other road so far. one of the most eagerly anticipated matches of the early pa rt anticipated matches of the early part of this premier league season. the second part is about to get under way. waiting for somebody to make a breakthrough. liverpool looking to preserve their perfect record in the league. city have not won at anfield for 15 years. arsenal are up to fourth place in the premier league after an impressive 5—1win over fulham this afternoon. unai emery‘s side have won their last six league games but their manager has warned they can get even better. while fulham are just above the relegation zone in 17th. craig templeton reports. arsenal travelled from north to west london looking for their ninth win ina row, london looking for their ninth win in a row, whereas bill's return to the premier league has been less than plain sailing. conceding goals has been the problem and wenger their sprung another leak, their
5:36 pm
opponents on the net. but they have a world cup winner. his bloated finish gave through the equaliser. marketers looking for his first —— he was about to be upstaged. aaron ramsey had been on the pitch less than one minute but that was enough time to do this. simply sublime, 3-1. time to do this. simply sublime, 3—1. fulham are sinking fast and when that happens, you do not give peer space for two goals of his own. five games on the bones, not a bad day by the river. we continue our process, are we. improving that and also taking confidence, taking that is very important. but i think we are in the first competition in the football
5:37 pm
here in the premier league. a very difficult but the most important thing is each match and to prepare and to play and continue improving. above all, every player, with the commitment, behaviour. for now it is chelsea who are in the top spot in the premier league after their 3—0 win over southampton. eden hazard was the main man once again. he opened the scoring for cheslea with his seventh premier league goal of the season. ross barkley added their second, in the same week he earned a re—call to the england squad. alvaro morata scored the third for maurizio sarri's side — who remain unbeaten so far this season. lam very i am very happy. with the performance, with the result. a very happy for our supporters. we have played, i think, happy for our supporters. we have played, ithink, a happy for our supporters. we have played, i think, a good happy for our supporters. we have played, ithink, a good match, but i think we can do better. especially in the defensive phase. rangers beat the league leaders

hearts 3—1 at ibrox. celtic were 6—0 winners at stjohnstone. they took a 5-0 winners at stjohnstone. they took a 5—0 lead by half—time, four of the goals coming from james forrest. mo farah has won the chicago marathon and broken the european record and his own british record in the process. farah crossed the line after two hours, five minutes and 11 seconds, despite far from perfect conditions. it's his first victory in only his third marathon. the british runner was 37 seconds quicker than the european record and improved his personal best british record by one minute and 11 seconds. lewis hamilton is on the verge of a fifth formula one world title. the mercedes driver could wrap up the championship as soon as the next race in the united states after winning this morning's japanese grand prix — a race that saw sebastian vettel

5:45 pm
a good interesting week, mark. yes, we have 22july, opening next wednesday, focusing on a real—life tragedy. tom hardy and a parasite from outer space, venom. and columbus life, love and architecture. and we are going to talk about a star is born. we might have a little bit of lee riley. let's start with what could not be more difficult topic. it opens next wednesday, 22 july, more difficult topic. it opens next wednesday, 22july, simultaneously on netflix and in some theatres. this is a drama about the atrocity committed, but more importantly how a civilised country responds to that atrocity. although we see the bombings and the outrage, what it is really about is about how the country, the legal system, survivors
5:46 pm
and politician reacted to the atrocity. we have got the final number. eight dead. 69 on the island. wounded?- least 200. thank you. we are all shocked. this was an attack on our government and all our children. we area government and all our children. we are a long way from understanding why, but what is clear is that our nation has been attacked by someone who would see it changed. he would see our democracy becomes tyranny. see our humanity falls. we must not give this terror. we must fight.
5:47 pm
what the drama they really becomes about is how you deal with that kind of atrocity. there is a debate about whether or not the perpetrators should be allowed to speak in court, because what he is the thing is hateful and file. more importantly, the voices of those affected, of the survivors and families, are also to be heard. it is about a number of things. the rise of the far right, extremism, it is shocking to see some ideas, some extremist ideas, which kind of past into mainstream politics, not tactics but ideas and ideology. i think what this managed to do was make a serious film about how it is that any civilised, ordered society, you try and make sense of something like this. it is about the response being very measured and deliberate. it is about issues of freedom of speech. i think it deals with that in a very unconventional fashion, it deals with that in a very unconventionalfashion, which it deals with that in a very unconventional fashion, which is very important. it is hugely important. given a potentially sensationalised the subject matter
5:48 pm
is. it is also very, very moving and harrowing. it is disturbing. in the end, i think it is also defiant because it is about the voice of young people. you know, standing up to this as an ideology. it is a very tough and testing film, as it should be, but it is a serious tone. terribly difficult, is it not? there be green policy of you are going to talk about something so horrific, and not that long ago, should one not just make and not that long ago, should one notjust make a documentary? the director has a background in documentaries, and famously made united 93, which was a brilliantly blended documentary and drama. if anybody is going to do it, he is the quy- anybody is going to do it, he is the guy. i think he is serious. he has a documentary background and news, and you can tell. yes. on two very different matters for the second film of the week. so, this is a total mess. tom hardy as a former blogger whose body is taken over by
5:49 pm
an extra terrestrial parasite relaxed about people'shead off.” cannot keep up. it is outside the standard marvel universe. it starts out as a downbeat character study about a guy who loses his girl and a place for the park and then it turns into a robbery special effects movie with selling motorcycle chases and thenit with selling motorcycle chases and then it turns into all of me needs the fly. at the end of it, i thought i had never seen a movie so catastrophically over the place. i went to see it with my son and was about to say at least it was never boring, but it was in the beginning, and then became silly and in the last third it was very entertaining and good fun. thomas hardy does good work, still under the circumstances but... what was tom hardy doing this? i think he was doing his best to make it all together and make some kind of things. there are a million reasons for doing superhero
5:50 pm
movies. one admirable thing as it does not look like any other superhero movies recently. it is all over the place and not without interest. but it is a total mess. i love the way you can still try to pick a glimmer, "not without some interest but it is a mess." but it is not good! 0k, is not good! ok, columbusi is not good! ok, columbus i am really intrigued by. this is a us indie film. the feature debut of the director. a korean american businessman, his father, a famous architect, has collapsed on a visit to columbus. beamer, healy richardson is a young woman who lives there and instructor. she is interested in architecture and he first that he is not but evidently he is and they are talking about buildings, they start to talk about other things. here is a clip. during that time, things were designed to be imposing, fortress—like with towers behind bars. the idea here, it was that you

5:52 pm
buildings and by talking about buildings they're talking about their own lives. the fact that she is trapped, that they both have problematic relationships with the parent. all of this comfort whilst discussing architecture. the film is beautiful. just to look at, the only big screen because it is bitterly designed and has this kind of ambient sound to it, it reminded me, lee, although it is a different film, of marjorie prine, which is a science—fiction movie which is really about growing old and alienation. i thought this was really impressive. i am really interested in architecture as well which is why i'm so intrigued but i am wondering whether you have to have that fascination to enjoy the film. i think you are saying it is bigger than that. the exhibitors, but it was part of me thatjust thought i love looking at those buildings and the director does as well and has framed them in such a way. maybe it is a little niche. well and has framed them in such a way. maybe it is a little nichem has got rave reviews for everton —— river death opened. i would be very interested to you what you think
