6:05 am
but i exhausted people in there now but butiam, exhausted people in there now but but i am, iam exhausted people in there now but but i am, i am immensely proud of this team and immensely proud of this team and immensely proud of this club. remember, leicester city's triumph was built on a bond between players, supporters and owner. after a week of despair, that bond remains and maybe it's actually deeper than ever. the husband of a christian woman who spent eight years on death row in pakistan after being convicted of blasphemy, has appealed for the family to be granted asylum in the uk. ashiq masih says his wife isn't safe in pakistan after the supreme court in islamabad overturned her conviction on wednesday, which resulted in violent protests. two days before the mid—term elections in the united states, president trump has embarked on a final burst of campaigning. at rallies across the country, he hammered home his twin messages that the economy was booming, and the democrats want to flood america with illegal immigrants. dan johnson reports. the presidential plane in front of montana's snow—covered mountains.
6:06 am
winter is coming, and so is donald trump. clocking up the miles repeating his familiar campaign themes: a strong economy, record job numbers, promises of tax cuts and tough talking on iran and immigration. remember the wall? well, it still isn't built. so instead it's troops to the mexican border and talk of tent cities. we have our military now on the border. applause. and i noticed all that beautiful barbed wire going up today. barbed wire, used properly, can be a beautiful sight. what the president doesn't say is that the current group heading through mexico is made up of only a few thousand migrants and they're still a few thousand miles and probably months away. he claims this is one of america's most important elections. so do the democrats. barack 0bama gave the sort of criticism former presidents usually avoid.

6:14 am
night. temperatures holding up quite nicely and it should be dry as well. even before the first world war ended, there was a great effort to remember those who had died. in 1920, one army chaplain came up with an idea to create a remembrance for all the lost men. at the west end of the nave of westminster abbey is the grave of the unknown warrior. but for many, the story the unknown warrior is itself, unknown. how did this one person come to represent all those who died? to find out the answer, we have to go back to the first world war and meet a curate from folkestone. the year award began, this reverend was living in the town. he saw young men destined for the battlefield biting into the area. “—
6:15 am
for the battlefield biting into the area. —— flooding. byjanuary1916, david was himself on the western front, witnessing death and injuries ona front, witnessing death and injuries on a scale never seen front, witnessing death and injuries on a scale never seen before. one night after he had been conducting a burial service, there was a simple grave which there was a white, wooden cross, which someone had written on it in black pencilled letters, an unknown british soldier. my letters, an unknown british soldier. my grandfather said thatjust started him thinking as to who that person was. of course, he had served on the western front had seen the makeshift graveyards for soldiers. they didn't look like this, it would have been rows of wooden crosses, often small groups, many of them unidentified. now the war was over, his idea was to choose one fallen soldier whose identity could never be traced and bring him back to be buried with full honours in the abbey. —— westminster abbey.
6:16 am
buried with full honours in the abbey. —— westminsterabbey. he would represent the fallen, but the heart of the idea was that for anyone grieving, it could be their loved one buried amongst king ‘s. chaplain is given the task of bringing bodies all across the battlefield. then they were draped in flags for general wyatt to come and choose one of the bodies by laying his hand on it and that was the body that they made that famous journey to westminster. on the morning of the 10th of november, the body was taken from a castle in berlin to the hmas. the body was put aboard and lay on the quarterdeck, guards posting with heads bowed. in dover, crowds were waiting as the unknown warrior came home. hundreds of thousands crowded into the streets to capture a glimpse of the cotton and just as david railton had hoped, many were comforted this could be their loved one. the
6:17 am
reverend david railton was an inspirational clergyman from kent who could not, and would not, forget the menu at the height of the western front. and so he found a way to bring them all home. natalie graham reporting. you can see the full story on tomorrow's edition of inside out, at 7.30, in the south—east, you can also catch it on the bbc i player. now it's time for the film review with mark kermode and ben brown. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week?
6:18 am
it is a packed week with peterloo, the epic drama from mike leigh. widows, which is an update of the miniseries from the ‘80s and mirai, a charming animation. peterloo, a massacre back in 1819. interestingly, mike leigh said one reason he wanted to make the film is not enough people knew about it. he said he wasn't taught about it at school. it was a peaceful demonstration, people demanding suffrage and better conditions, which was attacked by cavalry and there were deaths and terrible injuries. and we get in this film is the lead up of the events, all the players of people who will be at the march and the protest. and the forces ranging against him.
6:19 am
it starts on the battlefield. we see a traumatised soldier return to his home land and finding famine and he said we want a speaker to address the meeting. but his mother is sceptical that doing this is going to have any practical effect. here is a clip. there's going to be a big march. aye, mother, at petersfield. 0utside, not indoors. no. in broad daylight. yes. on a monday. on a monday? i know, it's daft. second monday in august. not go to work? aye, they'll have to make do without us. we'll get the staff. not if all the mills turn out. playing with fire. no, mother this one will be different. different how? well, there's hundreds going, women and children an' all. we're to turn out in our sunday best. oh, well i'd best get me darning needles out then. aye, you should, same of rest of the street will be. i know they will. but so will that naidan and his bullies, the swine. they'll have to get past them. aye, but people have been practising marching peacefully.
6:20 am
aren't they, father? aye, up on kersal moor they say. do they? aye, whole families. it's a day out for everybody. we've to stand up for ourselves, esther. we can't go on being afraid. i know, love, but we've all got to be careful though. he has this large cast. in the first hour there are a lot of conversations and characters. everyone gets to have their say. some people might feel it is moving slowly to something we know is coming. but because you get to know the characters and the issues
6:21 am
and everything aired so clearly, by the time you get to the third act when the massacre happens, it is terrifying. it has the impact of a paul greengrass movie and it has real epic sweep. some people have said mike leigh is famous for dramas which centre on single characters. you forget mr turner or topsy turvy of the gilbert and sullivan operas. i thought it was powerful. certainly the screening i was at, people came out at the end and were stunned by it. i think it is interesting that mike leigh said he wanted to tell this story, because it is an important story people should know about and what it manages to do is make the past seem very contemporary and he puts you right there in the middle of the situation. although it is true it is a movie that takes its time and is quite wordy, when you get to the final act, you understand why. i'm definitely going to see it. one of my friends is it in. he is a cavalry officer. widows, i remember the tv series.
6:22 am
it was riveting. is this as good? i think that this is better. everyone was surprised when steve mcqueen said he would update this story. he updates it to present—day chicago with a group of women whose husbands are involved in crime and they have died and the women have the plans for a heist that didn't happen. now they will see if they can put this heist together. i love so much about this. firstly, it has a cast who are brilliant. viola davis is stand out. but the entire cast is brilliant. some some award ceremonies they have an award for ensemble cast. this should walk off for that. the way they capture the location of chicago with extreme poverty and extreme wealth cheek byjowl. and it is co—written by gillian flynn who wrote gone girl. the screen writing is sharp.
6:23 am
it is not overly explanatory. but it is really riveting. i like a good heist movie. i did a tv programme about heist movies. but this turns it on its head. like that film set it off, it gives you a group of characters who you would not expect to be front and centre in a heist movie and you get to know their lives and situation and these are real women with real lives and real problems. i think it is terrific and you will love it. i know you are friends with someone didn't love it. stop being friends with them. mirai, a japanese anime fantasy. yes by mamoru hosoda, the story starts with a young boy who discovers he is going to get a baby sister and he is thrilled. but as the drama goes on he discovers jealousies and a fantasy world in his garden, which is a portal to different views
6:24 am
of time on his life. at the start all he wants to do his show his sibling the world. here is a clip. i'm your big brother, so i'm going to teach you a lot of different stuff, 0k? first i'll take you outside and i'm going to teach you the names of all the bugs. dragonfly! and then i'll show you how you can see things in the clouds. there's a scorpion! see? and that one... she's too little to take her outside just yet. you can take her when she's a bit bigger, all right? fine! the witch and mr moustache. the witch was woken up by mr moustache so she got mad and chased him. and mr moustache ran. he got away byjumping
6:25 am
on a train on the line. then the witch tried to follow him byjumping on a different line on the km line but the two trains went in different directions at the stakes and they got stuck for ages. knock it off! that is the english language dub. like many anime now this has been simultaneously released in english and the original version. as a critic, i tend to prefer the original language version, but there are many good versions for seeing the dubbed version. some people do not want to read subtitles and it opens up to a younger audience as well. i thought it was moving and enchanting. the style of the animation at the start is light and yet many of the themes it is dealing with are quite dark. there is a beautiful portrayal of the mother and father and this
6:26 am
slight tetchiness between them. the father is trying to to be a good father, but he is not doing as much as he should and the mother is annoyed with him, that all her friends think he is fabulous. because he isjoining in with the childcare but he is not doing anything as much as she is. i also think if you have kids you will recognise the rivalries between the siblings and it is the fine line between imagination and fantasia and it is grounded in things you recognise as being real. so i really liked it. jolly good. best out? the bfi have a season called comedy genius and reissuing 9 to 5 and some like it hot, that is considered by some to be not just the best comedy ever made, but the best movie ever made. it is terrific. have you seen it recently? not recently. in the dim and distant past. it is so funny and incredible how well it holds up.
6:27 am
it is so sharp and very racy and very on the edge of what you think that kind of movie can get away with. i think it is terrific. worth another look. best dvd? leave no trace about a father and daughter living off—grid and being found by the authorities and how they then react to being found and brought back into society. i thought this was wonderful. it is made be the same film—maker who made winter's bone. i love when a film explains itself without somebody saying, "this is happening here." that never happens in leave no trace. i don't think it was seen by enough people in the cinema. at the moment it is my favourite film of the year. you're so positive. you love everything! i'm an upbeat kind of guy. thank you. and you will find more film

6:48 am
civil war, the winning communists drove the defeated nationalists from the mainland. more than1 million people, soldiers and civilians, made the journey to taiwan. ever since, taiwan's relations with mainland china have been fractious. the first stop of journey around taiwan is the former capital, tainan. tainan is taiwan's oldest city. it has been the port of entry for most of taiwan's conquerors. the dutch, the spanish, the chinese and the japanese have all ruled taiwan and left their mark. the dutch were the first to colonise taiwan and soon after they began building this large fortification.
6:49 am
this fort was built by the dutch — dutch east india company. from 162a. because the dutch people wanted to travel to china since the early 16205, but the chinese government don't allow them to have a settlement in china, so they are forced to come here and find this place. they built this place, they built the fort, they built the construction for more than ten years. you can see the wall. the way of the bricks were — it is very different to the chinese — the chinese way. how is it different? we call this a dutch bond. you see this layer, only the head of the brick toward outside, and this layer to this side. by the 1680s, chinese traders and settlers — mainly from nearby fujian province — were coming in increasing numbers. they brought with them

their language and culture, and, of course, their religion. this is tainan's kaiyuan monastry. surrounded by the modern city, it is one of the oldest temples in taiwan. parts of the date back to the 1680s. most mornings and evenings, the 100 or so monks and nuns here gather for prayer and devotion. their chanting gives thanks to the buddha for his teachings and providing a path to enlightenment. reverend chuan cheng, who has been a nun for 20 years,
6:51 am
kindly showed me around this beautiful and atmospheric place. we hope you attain happiness in life. so chuan cheng tell me a bit about the buddha behind us. he is the happy buddha. he looks very happy. yes, why is he happy? because he is full of wisdom and compassions. and knowledge. he is just full of great mercy. i asked chuan cheng why she became a nun. i became a nun to give my thanks to my parents and especially my mother, and also give thanks to buddha. buddhism, taoism, and christianity are the main religions on the island. visitors to the temple are encouraged to learn about buddha
6:52 am
and to pray. we hope they can learn and train himselves and the more compassion, more mercy, and more wisdoms, and to whole of human beings, yeah, just like buddha. before i leave, i take a moment to burn some incense and reflect on my own personaljourney. as the light fades, the monks and nuns gatherfor evening prayers. as their day began, it also ends. leaving behind the history

and beauty of some of tainan's oldest buildings, i am off to the neighbouring city of kaohsiung. this modern city is not known for the arts, but that's about to change. this the weiwuying, taiwan's brand—new national arts centre. they say it's the largest the world. the centre has been built to boost the arts in southern taiwan. and to become a fixture on the international performance circuit. so this might look like a big empty warehouse, but we're actually backstage at one of the more intimate auditoriums here. it can sit around 1200 people.
6:54 am
the centre will stage its own performances and host international touring productions. the weiwuying has four main stages, an opera house, a concert hall, a playhouse, and a recital hall. it also has a huge outdoor performance space that can accommodate an audience of 20,000 people. the total indoor auditorium capacity is close to 6000. 6000? it's massive. that's a lot. how will you fill it? we're just going to do a bit of something for everybody. that is our mission. this is for the people. so we have very diverse programming for the children, for the theatre—goers, for — forfamilies, just a bit of everything. but with most transport links
6:55 am
going through the capital, taipei, in the north of the island, i wonder — will it get the international and metropolitan audiences that it's catering for? kaohsiung is easy to access. we have an international airport that's15—20 minutes away from the centre. it flies in direct flights from southeast asia, northeast asia and beyond. it's quite easy to come by through hong kong, but also with the high—speed rail. it gets you from taipei to the kaohsiung in 90 minutes. very easy to come. cathy and her team are hoping that their approach of developing local talent and importing big international productions and acts will strike the right balance artistically and commercially. this splendid venue can

you can hear the entire halls vibrating. how good needed you need to be? there are a lot of keyboards. how many here is that one, two, three, four, five. i do have to spend a lot of time to practise. this is a brand—new organ. i believe it is the biggest one in the entire asia's concert hall. the largest in asia? what a privilege to play it. you want to play something? i know you played piano. i have played in 20 years. you can play a little bit of a song. plays heart and soul. thank you, tony.
