museums have gathered vast amounts of evidence of hundreds of millions of years of evolution. now the challenge is to make sure it's shared and studied, not hidden away in the dark. victoria gill, bbc news in washington, dc. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell hello. sunday did bring a few sharp showers, but did also bring a lot of sunshine. and hopefully you got out and were able to enjoy a little bit of that, great afternoon at hayling island in hampshire, because sunshine will become perhaps increasingly in short supply as we move further into our week ahead. on a positive note, the winds will be lighter for the first couple of days, it'll be a largely dry picture too. from midweek onwards, however, there is a lot of uncertainty in our forecast and i will explain a little bit more about that in just a moment. right here, right now, it is a fairly quiet story to take us through the rest of today and on into monday. some showers through this evening for northern ireland, wales, maybe parts of the midlands and the northwest of england.
6:31 pm
a few continuing across the mountains of scotland, a little on the wintry side as well. elsewhere though, clear skies, light winds, temperatures set to fall away, certainly across scotland and northern england, perhaps parts of east anglia. we are talking about a fairly widespread frost. a little milder to the south and west, lows of five or 6 degrees perhaps. so, monday starts on the whole with a lot of fine weather and a lot of sunshine. but towards the west, an area of low pressure is trying to fringe in and through the day what that will do is bring high cloud initially into the west and then that cloud will thicken, could get some drizzle for northern ireland come the afternoon for western scotland, perhaps for wales and the southwest of england. eastern counties always getting the best of the brightness, but here a high ofjust five, for example in new castle, four in aberdeen and that gives you some idea of what is going on across the uk. fine in the east under the influence of high pressure, but cold air getting pulled around that high, from the continent in the west, low—pressure trying to squeeze in bringing in milder air
6:32 pm
but of course if they do manage to come in they will also try to bring in their fronts and spells of wetter and windier weather and it is that battle that we're up against in terms of trying to get the forecast right through the week ahead. tuesday it still looks like it'll be the high that is blocking anything coming in from the atlantic and keeping us on the whole dry. locking in perhaps a bit of cloud for central and eastern areas, and keeping the temperatures down a little with that continental feed of air, highs ofjust to single figures, particularly across eastern counties. milder there towards the southwest. as for the outlook at the moment, it looks like high pressure may well be the favoured scenario, but certainly thursday and friday is all to play for, so do stay tuned. hailing hello this is bbc news. the headlines. downing street has insisted tuesday's crucial commons vote will go ahead. and as the prime minister warns of ‘uncharted waters‘ if her deal is rejected — the brexit secretary has urged mps to back the plan. going ahead and that is because it is a good deal, it is the only deal

6:39 pm
their keeper could not get there, they found frustrations around only getting worse. rangers missed the chance to go level on points with celtic at the top of the scottish premiership. they were held to a one all draw by dundee. nick parrott has the story. taking on bottom of the table, dundee looks like the perfect opportunity for them to bounce back from defeat to aberdeen. after a poor start to the season, things are looking better. dundee sported their charitable mood the 90 minute. they have three spells, he scored for them against them back in april now the role is reversed, he remained calm but the other couldn't. he's already for this and rangers feasted their opportunity. with this first goal for more than does make year. they did not win after he was wronglyjudged offside,
6:40 pm

in europe's champions cup. they were down at half time but came back to beat cardiff blues 51—25. our rugby reporter chrisjones was there. and half here, it looked like a upset was coming, but they played some brilliant rugby and matthew for example, one of the scores of weekend. but it was a different beast after the interval, they upped their intensity and their accuracy and scored six second—half tries, sudden and total with them both grabbing a couple and he was a man of the match playing nearly 60 minutes on his return after a calf problem. a big boost for england and for saracens. and in europe, but ominously for the competition, both captain brent barrett and they were dissatisfied with today's

6:46 pm
to the film review here on bbc news and taking us through this week's cinema releases have ever is marked. but he got for this week. a very good week, we the old man in the gun which may or may not be his performance on screen. we have sorry to bother you, a socioeconomic satire which is a sundance hit. get off of me! back in the house. and white boy rick, a true story with a great cast. so the old man and the gun. robert, what is he, 82? he's 112, i think. i met him some years ago. you are a name dropper. iam. no, because i was really impressed, but the best thing about him is he looks like he's aged. he's weathered fantastically well. no botox. no, not as far as i
6:47 pm
can tell and he is described this as being, perhaps his last film he said this is going to retire because he's been acting for such a long time. this is based on a true story about an american career criminal, perrenial jail breaker, so he is the old man of the title. who, with his accomplices, rob small banks. they do it in a way that is very low—key, very understated and somewhat polite. it's as if people do not notice it happening. and the law doesn't notice and start joining the dots for quite some time. here's the clip. hello. don't cry.
6:48 pm
what are you crying for? this is my first day. there's always a first time for everything, isn't there? chin up. you're doing a greatjob. and he's doing a greatjob. he is! super sparkly, super twinkly and the film is shot using super 16 to give it that old retro feel. and what happens is he's committing these robberies with two accomplices, one played by danny glover, the other played by tom waits. and then he starts a relationship, and he takes her to a diner, she asks what do you do, if i told you, you would not want to be associate with me. so he sort of tells her that he's robbing banks and then he pretends that he's joking. so she kind of knows and she doesn't knows. and meanwhile, the detective is sort of starting to realise that all of these jobs from the over the hill gang up on the
6:49 pm
sort of similar mo and he starts to be on their tail. what i loved about this film is that firstly, the performances are great and the chemistry is fantastic. you completely believe in them and they're really affectionately drawn, the way in which they talk and spend time each other is beautifully done. it's an ensemble cast, great work from the likes of tom waits and danny glover. the best thing is, kind of got a special feel to it, weeding back to butch cassidy and the sundance kid, we've seen him doing this before and that the just some of that stuff from his back catalogue, very cleverly. i just thought it was lovely. really charming, it's got a bit of an edge to it and the whole thing about it is his character does the stuff because it's kind of in love with that. it's kind of addicted to it. why is he smiling all the time?
6:50 pm
because he seems to enjoy what he's doing. it's very gentle but it's not fluff, it's very gentle but there is real substance to it and you really believe those characters and i thought it was wonderful. i smiled the whole way through. it is his last film, it's a fitting tribute to a great film career. yeah, and he said never say never, you know, the fact is i'm sure he'll have a million offers to do something else. but it would be a great note to end on, it is such a great film. sorry to bother you. it is basically this kind of surreal satire, set in an alternative present oakland. there is a young man who is struggling for rent, he takes a job as a telemarketer and he is told by danny glover, who was his workmate, your problem is you need to use your white voice. he says, what's that? the white voice that sounds relaxed and casual and as the voice which your callers think that they want to sound like. he does this in suddenly he starts climbing up the latter which puts him at odds with his friends that are going on
6:51 pm
strike. what the whole film is about is on one hand it is a satire about capitalism and modern slavery and the story about selling out and when you sell out, what you lose and what everyone around you loses. it is very funny, but it ships slowly during the course of the movie from being a satire, into something that is much more surreal, it's starts to drift into the territory of a horror and science fiction inflections. do you think of something like, oh lucky man, the film that starts off as a tea salesman, but then becomes really weird. or, there is a film by brian yuzna, but anyone has seen society and they loved it, this is very much on the same wavelength. some say they can't take the shift in tone, but i thought it was executed consistently. read from the beginning, that's a very strange surreal twist in tone to it, very funny, but assertive, but it was really good. white boy rick which is the story of a
6:52 pm
teenager who became an undercover informant for the fbi. apparently, the fbi's youngest informant at the age 01:14 in the early 80s. so, which was such a beautiful film of that period. and here to have him as the kid, matthew as his father, his grandparents and at the beginning we are introduced to them as a kind of disparate, dysfunctional family on the streets of detroit. here's a clip. dad! oh, christ. keep going, i've got it under control. you don't need to stop the car, everything is fine, don't get out of the car. everything is not fine! a manjust ran out of your house, you don't have a damn thing under control! i hate you! i've got this under control! ain't under control! it looks like richard is having a bad day. no mum, i'm not having a bad day. my son and i walked
6:53 pm
to the lions den walked out with the golden fleece. ain't that right, ricky? that's right. you're pathetic! both of you! and put some clothes on, will you? we're going for custard! i love matthew. such a good actor. that whole ensemble, its out—of—control exec think it's its out—of—control! think it's great. for 71, brilliant implication of 70s, close to the 1980s detroit. the story is one of crime and guns and drugs, but what is primarily interesting is the family and the fact of the very beginning we are introduced to the young kid going into a gun show with his father and he is very much learned the ropes from his dad and passed on the skills, but these skills get them into a lifestyle which is very wracked with danger and misery. and what i liked about it was the film has a very kind of strange noodling field to the narrative. it is based on a true story. but you find yourself being more involved in the
6:54 pm
interrelationships between the characters than the actual gun sales in the drug sales so that sort of thing. terrific as the fbi see him on the street and think, we can use them. it's also very interesting and it takes a family with very sort of talk of an accident with some pews very sort of talk of an accident if the characters are sympathetic. you do see the world from their point of view, there is one point recess to some, we have to do something. look at the way we live. he says crash the car. we have to do something to get out of this. it's not for everybody, it will struggle to find an audience, but that was pretty impressive. and that the use of a good director. best out at the moment. well, still shoplifters which is a film that was a prizewinner at cannes. and again, a story of people living in the margins of society in tokyo and again, it begins with what you think of the father and son, the father teaches the son shoplifting, why do you teach them to shoplift?
6:55 pm
because it's what i know. that's what i do and it very human and i really liked it, again ijust think about spending time with characters that you believe in. i thought it was a really good film with a very dark heart to it. i enjoy disobedience, which you recommended. yes, it's great. terrific performances but the accent, you're not entirely sold on. variable. but overall, it was really good. and again, very difficult subject to put on film, and i thought they were completely convincing. i absolutely believed in them as well. well worth a watch. best dvd. mission impossible fallout, the thing is, who knew the mission impossible series was just going to get better and better? and... how many have there been by the way? ..i think seven now, but the thing about this is, it is not ironic. it is a proper nuts and bolts edge of your seat, action thriller and it's got fantastically executed set pieces but what i really like about it,
6:56 pm
it's very modern the way it's shot. it feels very physical and oddly old—fashioned for all its modern trappings and i just thought it was terrific. it moves like a bullet and it's a really good film and tom cruise is great in that role. i know he's not for everything and not for everyone, but he's really good in that role and he has seen this franchise from strength to strength. he's hurt himself so badly doing all the stunts. the stunt in which he hurt himself is in the film, and because we've seen so much behind the scenes footage, we see it in the film, you feel the pain. mark, thank you very much. a quick reminder before we go you'll find more film news and reviews from across a bbc bbc.co.uk/ mark kermode. you can find our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that is it, thank you so much and goodbye from us. hello. the weather is behaving gets

up hello. the weather is behaving gets up at the moment. it is fairly quiet on the weather front. pretty chilly come at the end of the week end. it would take us into monday morning, so this is what it looks like over the coming hours, chilly north westerly winds, a few showers there. scotla nd westerly winds, a few showers there. scotland and northern england on a -1' scotland and northern england on a —1, south of that temperature will be typically around four or 5 degrees and we wake up to a lot of sunshine, particularly across the eastern areas, clouds when the filter into the west of the country. so here, it'll end up a cloudy afternoon. temperatures tomorrow typically between six and 10 degrees this to go to the week, you can see
6:58 pm
these temperatures are dipping down, down to single figures across the country by the time to get to a roundabout wednesday. this is bbc news, i'm martine croxall. the headlines at seven. downing street insists the crucial vote in the commons on the government's plans to leave the european union will go ahead on tuesday. in london, thousands attend rival pro and anti—brexit rallies — as one leading brexiteer says a better deal with the eu can still be negotiated. we have to change it. it's a relatively simple job to do. we can have a withdrawal agreement that does not contain the backstop, we can do much much better than this. police in new zealand investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane say they have found a body. i don't think i'll be alive in ten years. charlie rowley, a survivor of the salisbury novichok poisoning, says he fears the nerve agent will eventually kill him.
