20 tupperware boxes, each box has $100,000 in $100 bills. viola davis is the leader of a pack of grieving widows who been left high and dry by their villainous husbands and find they have little choice but to follow in the criminal footsteps. it's not going to be some cosy reunion. why did you want to tell the story? so, i was 13 years old, in ealing, 13 years old watching this tv show called widows. you two better get yourself wheels, good ones. get them from auctions, use assumed names. and these womenjust connected with me. they were being judged by their appearances and being sort of deemed as not being capable, similar to how i was being judged at that age. the original tv series was set in london. the new film version is located in chicago, maybe with half an eye to american audiences, while providing the director with a relevant social, political and racial landscape. i am exploring the reality of how we live today, how i have to deal with that and how people look at you differently to how they look at me. that is what i'm after, that is what i'm interested in. and why people are, sort of,

you know, where they are in the position of society. so sorry for your loss. if there's anything i can do, please don't hesitate to ask. the thing that we should be focusing on is how do we, or how do people get the power to sort of change things? 0ur husbands aren't coming back. so are those currently running the british film industry doing enough to give opportunities to new and diverse talent? is not now but hopefully in the future. i mean, you know, not now but it on them now and i think they understand that. i think people are making efforts to sort of change things, change that environment. you know, you want to give people opportunity, there's got to be a starting line and a fair crack at it. and, you know, it's a great industry to be in and i think a lot of kids, working—class kids, don't feel like... they never have that idea in their head that they can actually be in the film industry. it should be possible. the british film industry's enjoying a golden period, with busy studios, a booming visual effects sector

and government support through tax breaks. it is, you could say, a time of unequalled opportunities. will gompertz, bbc news. here on bbc one, time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday with me, will perry. coming up: is—really good for the home side in haifa, scotland are beaten for the first time in the nations league. only a friendly at the principality but wales are thrashed 4—1 by spain. and eddie pepperell‘s in a 3—way tie for the lead at the british masters golf, but this spectacular hole—in—one will be the talk of the clubhouse tonight. funny i missed the putt on the wall

before and thought i could easily be level par there now and now i go and make a hole in one. hello, and welcome to sportsday, i'm will perry. we'll start with an eventful night of international football, news of a late come back from the world champions france to come. but first, more on scotland's 2—1 nations league defeat in israel, here's patrick gearey. more words have been dedicated this week to one man who wasn't starting this match ban to ii week to one man who wasn't starting this match ban to 11 who were. leigh griffiths decision to leave a scotla nd griffiths decision to leave a scotland wide to improve his fitness begs several questions, not least how will this core? with israel's help for a start. charlie had not scored for his country and one half yea rs scored for his country and one half years and missed a penalty for scotla nd years and missed a penalty for scotland earlier this year. never in

doubt. israel might be just as man city but ranked below luxembourg, still they should be level at the break. to start at the second half was largely played in scotland's half. the equaliser had felt inevitable for a while. all hands on deck for scotland, but one went overboard. this. johnson charles and further depleted the scottish resistance. in the end kieran tierney scored the winner for israel for them. it was that sort of night. it's a long way back and it seems alex's team have a long way still to go. so, scotland's first defeat and israel's first win leaves group c1 looking like this. scotland still top, but only on goal difference with all teams on three points after two games. israel and albania meet on sunday. wales were also in action tonight, they lost 4—1 to spain in a friendly at the principality stadium in cardiff. spain have been in good form since their disastrous world cup and took the lead inside 10 minutes through paco alcacer. sergio ramos then scored a header before alcacer had the freedom of the welsh box to make it 3—0.

marc barta added a fourth after half—time with wales struggling defensively again. sam vokes did score a last minute consolation goal but it was a heavy 4—1 defeat for ryan giggs' side. world champions france left it late to draw 2—2 with iceland in gan—gom. the french who had a strong side out were losing 2—0 but an own goal and then this last minute kylian mbappe penalty saved their blushes if we had the vidiprinter tonight, we'd have needed to spell england under 21's scoreline tonight. — 7—nil winners over andorra to guarantee a spot at next year's european championships. and the best of the lot was the first one, everton‘s ademola lookman finishing off a well—worked move. northern ireland's under 21s meanwhile won i—nil in iceland. england lost their opening nations league game to spain, they're in ree—eka where they face croatia tomorrow

behind closed doors. no fans will be allowed in because of uefa sanctions against the hosts, after a swastika was marked on their pitch in a euro qualifier three years ago. our sports correspondent andy swiss is there for us. welcome to the hillside here above the stadium the reason we are up here is what the match taking place tomorrow behind closed doors, summing when fans have been looking at this as a potential vantage point. as you can see, you can get a view of some of the page, about half, but it's hardly a front row seat and with increased security expected near kick off tomorrow the question is whether the fans will be able to get even this close. despite the fact they cannot get into the stadium and member of england fans, as many as 500 in fact are making the journey here to croatia and earlier on i spoke to one of them from the football supporters

federation, kevin miles. there are a lot of people who pride themselves on having witnessed every england game in the last and most very disappointed by the way the punishment aimed at tackling racism which effectively punishes the innocent because english fans have not been convicted of anything to do with racism here and a lot of those people will try i'm sure every opportunity to find a vantage point rather from a flat balcony or hillside or wherever else. the chances of getting in the stadium i think are probably really slim where do you think most of the fans will be watching this match from who come here. where do you think they will be on friday night? i think a lot of people will have a look round the ground with the possibility of getting a vantage point somewhere else but i think most people like me will watch in the pub. it put it that promises to be a strange inmate that promises to be a strange inmate that evening for england fans and the players, a repeat of the world cup semifinal against croatia just a few months ago, but in terms of atmosphere there to say tomorrow night will be very different. well on the pitch, croatia have already named their starting lineup with the likes of luka modric,

liverpool's dejan lovren and chelsea's mateo kovacic all taking to the field in rijeka. gareth southgate has kept his cards closer to his chest but believes any one of his squad can be a match for the world cup finalists. there's nobody in this squad that is here that we are not thinking of putting into the team. it is not experimentation, it is players who we believe in, players 0k experimentation, it is players who we believe in, players ok that in a lot of cases are relatively inexperienced at the highest level, but players we have enjoyed working with that have shown in training this week that they can handle this level, and we will pick a team that we think is the best one to win the game. the football association held what's been described as a "healthy discussion" today about the proposed sale of wembley stadium to american the football association held what's been described as a "healthy discussion" today about the proposed sale of wembley stadium to american billionaire shahid khan. the deal, worth around 900 million pounds, will go to a vote of the fa council on the 24th of october (oov) with around a two thirds majority

council on the 24th of october. with around a two thirds majority needed for the sale to proceed. bbc sport understands the proposal is very much in the balance with councillors wanting further information and reassurance on how the money will be spent and administered. we talked about about two or three hours, what more information, a lot more thinking to do. is their concern about how the money is spent? about one of the overriding concerns now? how the money is spent is always going to be notjust a concern, but it's an actual fact in making —— factor in making the decision and that was discussed as well. former aston villa chairman sir doug ellis has died at the age of 94. he had 35 years in the role over two spells, the most recent from 1982 to 2006, when he sold the club to the american businessman randy lerner. ellis had made his fortune as a pioneer of the package holiday industry before becoming a major shareholder and chairman of villa in the 1968. he was knighted in 2012 for his services to charity. a minute's silence will be held at their next match at home to swansea on the 20th of october.

europe's ryder cup hero tommy fleetwood has made a fine start in his late charge for the european tour race to dubai. he's leading the british masters after the first round, sitting on five under par alongside matt wallace and eddie pepperell, they have a 1 shot lead at walton heath, but it was the pepperell who produced the moment of the day. a spectacular, physics—defying hole in one at the par three ninth his first after over 2000 par 3's on the european tour. it was a shock, really. funny i missed the putt on the hole before and thought i could easily be level par through nine because i know there's a tough part three coming up andi there's a tough part three coming up and i go and make a hole in one. it was bizarre, obviously bizarre. a shot from where i was getting looked like it pitched in the hole, jumped

up, looked like it was going on because of the height it came out andi because of the height it came out and i didn't see from there it obviously went in. very nice. and at about 6:00 tomorrow morning, kyle edmund will face one of his sternest tests when he takes on world number five alexander zverev in the quarter finals of the shanghai masters. the british number one beat chile's nicolas yarry 7—6, 6—3 in the last 16. elsewhere, jamie murray and bruno soares have reached the semis — assuring them a place in the season ending atp world tour finals. katie boulter is into the quarter finals at the tian—jin open. scotla nd scotland beaten 2—1 in israel in their nations title winning the first to get albania but the sides suffering a defeat tonight. one win, one defeat for scotland. that is often sports day. coming up in a moment it is the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are david wooding, the political editor of the sun on sunday, and jessica elgot, political correspondent at the guardian. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily telegraph carries a picture of princess eugenie and jack brooksbank in windsor — ahead of this weekend's royal wedding. they also report philip hammond plans to scrap a promised income tax cut to pay for a climbdown on universal credit. however, according to the daily express, hopes of an income tax cut for millions of households were dramatically boosted after a treasury minister signalled that keeping taxes down will be a top budget priority.

the i has conservative mps threatening to withdraw support for government's flagship benefits reform saying backbenchers are furious after the work and pensions secretary esther mcvey admitted that some universal credit claimants will be worse off. the daily mail says theresa may faces uproar over plans to give judges pay rises of nearly £60,000 a year — an increase of more than £1,100 a week. according to the guardian, a kent motorway is undergoing closures as work begins on turning it into a potential lorry park to deal with the possible impact of a no—deal brexit. the financial times says global stock markets are heading for their worst week in six months as investors, worried by rising interest rates, sold equities worldwide, with president trump blaming an "out of control" us federal reserve for the downturn. and the metro reports that a transgender prisoner —

who was born a man — has beenjailed for life for sexually abusing two women at a female prison and for two earlier rapes. parso, par so, let's start with the financial times. what else could we start with but a bit of brexit, because there has been not a full cabinet meeting today, but some of the most senior cabinet ministers have been called into downing street for what we were told is an update on brexit negotiations. it sounds like there was a little bit of unhappiness about what they were being handed, or offered, and it's all about whether the uk government decides to give a bit more of a concession about the backdrop to stop the hard border. unhappiness is a bit ofa stop the hard border. unhappiness is a bit of a euphemism looking at the financial times. fuming is the word. these are the people that theresa may thinks she can get more on—site

to lead the way to show some solidarity for her plan. of course it is all about the vexed issue of the i wish border, which is if we can solve the irish border situation, then we are almost there with the deal and of course no deep —— nobody likes this and there is this big cabinet meeting tuesday which if they're fuming tonight, goodness knows what they'll be like on tuesday. this is unfolding as we speak because i'm sure our colleagues, just got back in westminster are wringing their sources to find out what happened at that meeting tonight. it sounds, i know laura was saying andrea leadsom is understood to be a bit unhappy about it. unhappy about what is discussed, this idea of the backstop, the uk staying in a custom agreement but with no deadline, that is the keeping. that is the key thing that seems to be the dividing line. whether you can have this kind of insurance policy that the northern ireland has similar rules of the european union in order to prevent a hard
