who went missing after leaving a club, say they have "significant concerns" about her safety. england's minister for schools says pupils should be banned from taking smartphones into school. some breaking news from the business world. nissan is expected to announce over the next week that it is cancelling a planned investment at its plant in sunderland. in 2016, the car maker said it would build the x—trail suv at the site,
5:02 pm
it was going to be built at the site. it was after it received "support and assurances" from the government over brexit. that was concerns the company had over brexit negotiations and developments. with me now is our business correspondent rob young. take us through what we know. what we expect is... what is over the next week the company will announce it will cancel a planned investment in thex it will cancel a planned investment in the x trail vehicle, a sports utility vehicle currently only made injapan but utility vehicle currently only made in japan but back utility vehicle currently only made injapan but back in 2016 in 2016 in the autumn, the company announced it would make this vehicle at the
5:03 pm
sunderland nissan plant is well and it was seen as a show of confidence in britain, as it was heading towards the european union exit door. the government at the time had given nissan some kind of assurance about the future of carmaking in the uk which seems, at the time, persuaded the boss of nissan that this investment should go ahead but asi this investment should go ahead but as i said workers expects that investment to be cancelled. we expect a formal announcement from the car—maker at some point next week. but everybody will now be thinking about repercussions. what we are talking about here is future promised investment is not happening, rather than existing work being stopped. when this investment was first announced, the company was suggesting it could perhaps lead to the creation of 200 newjobs in a couple of years. the impact on workers may well be negligible, to
5:04 pm
nonexistent. but there is potentially an impact in terms of prestige for uk as a carmaking destination because this was seen as a feather in the cap of uk carmaking. the industry has warned recently they were on red alert as they said, because of the uncertainty over brexit and what britain's future trading relationship with the eu will look like. industry was pointing to a fall in investment in carmaking. it is lumpy, as they say. you get a lot of investment one year and not much the next because there are not new model is being launched all the time. but clearly this is news that will worry unions at the plant, because we do not know the implications of this. thank you. thousands of opposition supporters have poured onto the streets of caracas in protest against venezuela's president nicolas maduro, in the hope of getting him to step down. the protests come as a senior air force general published a video
5:05 pm
on twitter saying he refused to recognise mr maduro as president and was instead backing the opposition leaderjuan guaido — who's declared himself interim president. the governing socialist party announced a rival protest in the city, to counter the opposition march. in a video posted on twitter, general francisco yanez recognises opposition leaderjuan guaido's as the interim head of state and calls on other members of the military to defect. saying the military stand with venezuelans. the official air force twitter account immediately branded him a traitor. here's some of what general francisco yanez had to say earlier today.
5:06 pm
translation: i am standing before you to let you know that i do not recognise the dictatorial authority of nicolas maduro, but recognise juan guaido as the acting president of venezuela. venezuela, 90% of the country's forces are not with the dictator. they are with the people of venezuela. the transition to democracy is imminent. 0ur correspondent james reynolds is in caracas and sent this report from the protests. tens of thousands of opposition supporters are coming out to protest in the centre of caracas. the opposition wants to make this one of the biggest demonstrations in this country's history. they are all coming through here. they will end up looking at the stage there, where they hope to see their leader, juan guaido, the 35—year—old head of the national assembly who has declared himself the interim president of venezuela.
5:07 pm
and for these protesters, for the first time there is a sense of optimism, because they now find they have someone they can call their leader. juan guaido has been recognised by a number of countries in the west. but this movement still faces significant problems. president maduro, , their enemy, their opponent, still controls the country. the high command of the armed forces is still loyal to the president, and government forces are celebrating their own gatherings at the moment. but nevertheless, for the opposition now, this is one of their most optimistic moments in years. james reynolds. russia has suspended its participation in a key nuclear arms control agreement after the united states announced yesterday that it would do the same.
5:08 pm
the us and other nato countries say russia has violated the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty — an accusation russia refutes. president putin insisted the door remained open for negotiations, but he instructed ministers not to initiate arms control talks. translation: our american partners have announced they are suspending their participation in the deal. and we are also suspending our participation. that was president putin. our correspondent steve rosenberg has the latest from moscow. the message from moscow today to the us administration is, to put it simply, anything you can do, russia can do too. do, russia can do, too. so if you want to pull out of the inf treaty, russia will pull out of the inf treaty. if you, america, wants to develop a new range of weapons, russia will develop a new range of weapons. president putin spoke of some specific weapons moscow intends to develop. this new range of short
5:09 pm
and medium—range hypersonic land—based weapons. also, a land—based of the kalibr cruise missile, which is normally a sea—based cruise missile in russia. he did make it clear that russia would not deploy short and medium—range weapons in europe, or anywhere else in the world, unless america deployed them first. as you say, he made it clear that russia does not want to be dragged in to an expensive arms race. that is the last thing that moscow wants in difficult economic circumstances for the country. steve rosenberg from moscow. snow and ice have caused further disruption for parts of the uk. forecasters are warning of more severe weather over the weekend, with the possibility of temperatures dropping to minus 16 degrees celsius in parts of scotland overnight. caroline davies reports. stuck fast in the snow, in basingstoke. after hours of disruption, cars
5:10 pm
and lorries were eventually freed and the snow is starting to ease. yesterday's conditions didn't stop many heading out on the main roads today, including those who do it for a living. the congestion it causes, you can't get on with yourjob, sometimes. you know, butjust deal with it and get on with it. i came down from the midlands and there was nothing at all, up there. further south i've come, the roads are a little bit icy. probably about the last hour, iwould say, i've been amongst the snow. where are you on to, next? down to amesbury, so i will be amongst it for the next hour or so. it's not been too bad, actually. the worst bit i found is actually the car park here because it hasn't been gritted at all. but most of the roads seem to be ok. conditions in most parts of the uk have tended to be better today than they were yesterday. and with sunshine and clear skies, the snow is starting to melt, which has meant that some people
5:11 pm
who were stuck have been able to start to go home. it wasn't easy for all truck drivers, in keith last night, this lorry found itself in need of help from highway services. but snow hasn't been miserable for everyone. in haslemere, this morning, some strapped on their skis and enjoyed the powdery slopes. the freezing temperatures have caused widespread disruption across the south east of england. this picture shows some damaged cars after a driver tried to take a lorry down a road in walderslade in kent. in bluebell hill, kent, cars struggled to move in the snow. and these pictures, provided by viewers , give a flavour of the weather, people have been enjoying — and enduring — over the last 2a hours. looking ahead, the met office is warning that tonight will be
5:12 pm
the coldest of the winter so far. scotland could see lows of minus 16 overnight into sunday. police searching for a 21—year—old student in hull who went missing after leaving a club say they have "significa nt concerns" about her safety. more than 70 officers are continuing to look for libby squire, a student at the university of hull. she was reported missing after getting into a taxi outside the welly nightclub. humberside police have asked local residents to check their gardens and outbuildings to see if she has taken shelter somewhere. earlier they gave an update on the search. we are supporting libby's family, who have described her as a very thoughtful and caring young woman, who always puts other people before herself. they have said this is very out of character for libby. clearly that raises our concerns about her significantly. i once again urge anyone with information about libby to come
5:13 pm
forward and pass that information to the police as soon as they are able. elsewhere, search teams are trying to find a missing university student in reading. daniel williams, who's 19, was last seen in a student union bar at the university's whiteknights campus in the early hours of thursday. he was reported missing after he failed to return to his student accommodation. the student was last seen wearing jeans, black shoes and a black hooded top. a high courtjudge has used twitter to urge a mother who vanished with her three—year—old son to return home. the judge's plea was delivered in a tweet posted on thejudicial office twitter account — using the hashtag ‘come home olly‘. mrjustice williams appealed directly to ellie yarrow—sanders to bring missing toddler olly sheridan home, with reassurances that she will be given a voice in court. it's thought to be the first time a judge has used twitter in this way.
5:14 pm
miss yarrow—sanders disappeared with her son in july after becoming involved in family court proceediungs with her ex—partner. plans to prevent censorship during debates at universities have been drawn up, following a number of incidents where speakers were banned from campuses. the guidelines, which are designed to encourage open debate, unless there's been a breach of the law, have been drawn up by the equality and human rights commission together with students and universities. floods in the north—east australian state of queensland have reached what officials are calling ‘catastrophic levels'. the tropical monsoon rains have already destroyed buildings, forced evacuations, and swept away cars and livestock in a large area centred on the coastal city of townsville. saturday alone, is expected to see up to 20cm of rain equivalent to about a month's average rainfall. for four days, parts of northern queensland have been battered
5:15 pm
by the heaviest monsoon rains in memory. the main reservoir in townsville is so full, vast amounts of water have had to be released, causing majorflooding. the city has been declared a disaster zone. many homes are submerged and streets turned into rivers. dozens of people have been rescued and thousands more moved to higher ground. when we use the words unprecedented and uncharted, we use this for a reason. we have not been in this scenario before. there has been a lot of rain that has been falling, especially over the townsville catchment, and some of these levels are unprecedented. there is a warning that the worst may yet be to come. the heavy rain is expected to continue until at least monday.
5:16 pm
there is, though, some good news — the tropical monsoonal conditions are likely to bring much—needed relief to drought—affected parts of queensland to the west of townsville. phil mercer, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. nissan is expected to announce next week that it's cancelling plans to build its new model suv at its plant in sunderland. russia has suspended its participation in a key nuclear arms control agreement, after the united states announced yesterday that it would do the same. the met office issues weather warnings for ice in many parts of england as wintry conditions continue to disrupt the uk. pupils should be banned from taking smartphones into classrooms, according england's schools minister. the government is due to publish new guidance shortly on issues such as internet safety and social media.
5:17 pm
but some teachers say mobile phones can be ‘fantastically useful‘ for learning. our political correspondent, jessica parker, has more. smartphones are everywhere. but should they be in schools? well, it‘s the responsibility of head teachers to decide. but the ministerfor school standards, nick gibb, says it‘s his own view that schools should ban their pupils from bringing smartphones into school. i have to agree with that, because they have them so often in their hands that they won‘t be concentrating or listening properly. they can use them for other things in school, that's the only thing. like calculators and things like that on them. but they don't use them for that, do they? they are just using them personally all the time, i imagine. they certainly shouldn't be allowed to have them on, when they're at school. perhaps to and from school, yes. but certainly not in school time. the government‘s due to publish new guidance for schools shortly and it‘s expected to say children should be taught to limit the amount of time they spend on the internet.
5:18 pm
of time they spend on the internet. mr gibb says while there is nothing intrinsically damaging about spending time online, excessive use can leave children tired and unable to concentrate. managing our smartphone use is a challenge facing adults as well as children. but there are those who argue restricting access in this way isn‘t the answer, because young people need to be able to fully engage with this kind of technology. if you push phone use away from school and ban it, you are just pushing it underground and you are losing an opportunity to help young people learn how to use tech for good and to use their mobile as part of their working and living life. and the trade union the naht, which represents school leaders, has also expressed scepticism, saying there isn‘t one policy that will work for all schools. jessica parker, bbc news. dramatic footage has emerged of the moment a dam burst in brazil, releasing millions of tonnes of mining waste that engulfed nearby buildings.
5:19 pm
at least 110 people are now known to have died in the disaster, hundreds are missing. our science editor, david shukman, reports from the site of the dam in the state of minas gerais. this is pretty well as close as we are allowed to get to the disaster site. you‘ve got some local people here just trying to come to terms with what on earth happened, so let me try to explain to you how this disaster unfolded. up in the hills beyond, that‘s where the dam itself was, holding back a great lake of sludge. it broke, as we know, and a torrent of heavy cement—like mud tore its way down one of these valleys just in the distance there, overwhelmed the cafeteria, where miners were having lunch, overwhelmed the offices of the mining company itself. then it swept into this area where we are now. right in the middle of this
5:20 pm
little area was a posada, a kind of small hotel with holiday chalets. that was all swamped by the mud. just close by here — this was basically a farming area, a little farmhouse, just absolutely wrecked by the power of the deluge of mud. what happened next is that the mud didn‘t just stay here, it was moving incredibly rapidly. you can still hear the search and rescue helicopters buzzing around and occasionally we see rescue teams still at work. i say rescue — they are now in the business ofjust searching for bodies. one team we sawjust now had a dog with them. they were trying to respond to wherever the dog was sniffing. as i was saying, the wall of mud destroyed this whole area and then carried on over
5:21 pm
the ridge you can see in the distance, and into a valley beyond, where it then tore through a village down below, causing yet more destruction. the question that everybody is just bewildered by, stunned by here, is how brazil, which is a rapidly industrialising, modern economy, how here this kind of disaster, whatever failings there were in safeguarding the dam were allowed to happen, caused so many deaths and so much destruction. that was our science editor. norway is on a drive to cut down on the amount of food that is left uneaten on plates in hotels and restaurants. and, as our environment analyst roger harrabin reports from tromso, they are also hitting on some cunning ruses to persuade us to take less, and eat less. in a restaurant, there‘s always food thrown away. this hotel in tromso is trying to halve its food waste, but how? let‘s start with these
5:22 pm
smoothie shots. these are made from yesterday‘s leftover fruit. then crafty tricks to nudge people into taking less, like skinny tweezers to stop you piling up the salmon, or little spoons to serve the herring. and look at this — a micro muesli. how cute is that? another idea — instead of guests taking a big melon slice and leaving some, the staff dice it so you take precisely what you want. and in case you missed the message... many people load onto their plates, so they don‘t have to go multiple times. we were able to make people think about how they put food on their plate and how much they bring to the table to make sure they eat it all. another trick is to keep food looking fresh. as a serving dish empties, guests assume the remains are stale, so why not switch the food
5:23 pm
into a smaller dish? then again, so it still looks fresh and all gets eaten. ideas like this have cut food waste almost 10% in a yearfor this chain. the target is 20% by 2020 and then 50% by 2030 — the same as the un target. the chef weighs the daily waste. so far, the policy has saved the hotel chain 26 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. and there‘s a bonus. we‘re also making money out of it, which is a really positive side—effect by reducing food waste. so how do guests respond to this culinary nanny state? if i have tools given to me that i take less, then it helps me. i don't put on as much weight when i travel. i think it's a good thing. i feel it helps the environment but it also helps myself to not gain, what do you call it, weight that i don't need.
5:24 pm
there is no ban on loading up your plate here. take as much as you want. but you‘d better not leave it. roger harrabin, bbc news, norway. ministers have announced plans to widen the definition of treasure so that more ancient objects unearthed in the uk can be preserved for the nation, rather than sold to private collectors. in recent years, there‘s been an increase in the number ofarchaeologicalfinds — many of them made by amateur enthusiasts using metal detectors. dr michael lewis is the head of treasure at the british museum. speaking a little earlier, he gave me some more details on the government plan. it‘s mainly gold and silver objects that are treasure. hoards of objects — so coin hoards, they‘re treasure as well. there is also an addition as well that was made some time ago, where prehistoric base metal assemblages are treasure. so, in essence, it‘s gold and silver things, but it can be other things as well. ok, in its current form
5:25 pm
there obviously have been issues. i think it was kicked off by the crosby garrett helmet. why the need to change then, why the need to reform it? well, this consultation, because it is a consultation, it‘s not been decided yet what exactly is going to happen. but the idea is to look at the definition of treasure to see whether there could be more categories of treasure added to the criteria. whether the process could be a bit more normalised than it is at the moment. things have changed since the act came into force, in terms of the landscape. and also give the police more powers in terms of law enforcement, as well. there are different aspects to the act. but from an archaeological perspective, what people are most interested in is ensuring the most important archaeological objects end up in museum collections, and that isn‘t always what happens. so, for example, you mentioned the crosby garrett helmet, very important object.
5:26 pm
because it didn‘t fit the definition of treasure, the legal sense, it was sold privately and therefore it‘s not on display in a museum collection. so what was it formed of, what was it made of? it was made of copper alloy and it was found in parts, to start with, and then it was kind of reconstructed by an auction house and then put on display — sorry, and then sold. yeah, so that didn‘t fit the criteria. so the idea here, with this consultation, is can you capture objects like that, that archaeologists and historians think are really, really important and should be in museum collections for people to see, and is there a way of doing that? treasure is big business, isn‘t it? 2017 is quoted as being record—breaking. i am interested to know — since 1996, there was an increase of a 1,500 percentage increase in treasure finds. i believe only around 30% of those were classed as treasure? actually, it‘s even more than that because, in a given year, about 1,000 or so objects are classified as
5:27 pm
treasure under the act. i work for an organisation as part of the british museum called the portable antiquities scheme, where we record finds found by metal detectorists, principally, across the country. last year we recorded about 80,000 archaeological objects. so you can see there is a big difference between what is legally required to report and those that they don‘t. that was doctor michael lewis. customs officials in india have detained a passenger after they found a month—old leopard cub hidden in his luggage. officials at chennai airport found the cub when they heard noises coming from the 45—year—old man‘s bag. the animal appeared weak and in a state of shock and has been taken to a wildlife park to be cared for. authorities are investigating whether the man, who travelled from bangkok, is part of an international smuggling ring. a scheme to monitor the impact of light pollution

has been launched by the campaign for rural england. we‘re being asked to count the number of stars we can spot with the naked eye on a clear night. john maguire has been to northumberland, home to one of the uk s dark sky parks. we‘re heading out into the freezing night with the saunders family for some stargazing. david gets off to a strong start, identifying the plough and subsequently the north star. find the right—hand side of the saucepan, and the two stars there, draw an imaginary line and continue along, and the next brightest star that you see... and with a little help from a smartphone, lola and maisie find orion‘s belt. the three in a line, the belt. no, there. is that orion‘s belt? yes, there. look, there. why do you think guys you‘re so lucky, you can see the stars,
5:29 pm
and maybe other people can‘t see them ? because we live in the middle of nowhere! but what‘s the advantage of that on a night like tonight? there is no streetlights, so you can see... the black sky without the orange glow. it helps that it‘s a clear night and that we‘re in the northumberland countryside, away from the too—bright lights of newcastle. it‘s all lit up, isn‘t it? it‘s orange and it feels like it should be completely dark. but it isn‘t, but that‘s all streetlights and houses and the cars. it‘s all lit up, isn‘t it? it‘s orange and it feels like it should be completely dark. but it isn‘t, but that‘s all streetlights and houses and the cars. is that mars? we're pointing at mars on this thing, yeah. is it higher? no, that's definitely mars. the following evening, we‘re in nearby hexham, to see the lights go on. these are among the 116,000 streetlights which the county council is replacing with low—energy led lamps. it has taken four years, cost £25 million, but will save 1.3 million a year and reduce the county‘s carbon footprint. and there is another benefit. so, they have a special design,
5:30 pm
but we have to angle them correctly because you don‘t want them pointing up or sideways, or in people‘s windows. the light is more gentle and soft, much less harsh. we may not be able to control the clouds above us, but by aiming for dark skies, we can have skies filled with light — starlight. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with mel coles. hello there. winter has been flexing its muscles recently but there are signs we are going to see something a little bit milder as we head through the coming week. many areas though seeing scenes like this through the day today. and while there are some good spells of sunshine around, we‘ve also got further wintry showers affecting parts of pembrokeshire and down into south—west england, along the east coast and the far north.
5:31 pm
away from these areas, more crisp, winter sunshine on offer but it feels cold, particularly in that northerly wind, which certainly isn‘t helping the temperatures. as we head into tonight, where we‘ve seen a bit of snow melt, a few showers, there‘s the chance of some icy stretches. it is going to be cold under those starry skies, temperatures will plummet. through parts of south england, we could have the coldest night of the winter so far. where we‘ve got the lying snow we could see temperatures fall as low as —12 celsius. a few wintry showers continuing to feed in across the far north. so a cold start to sunday morning but a change is afoot. we start to look to the atlantic for these weather systems that are gradually, over the week, going to introduce something a little bit milder. through tomorrow, we will see some cloud and outbreaks of rain and snow initially as it bumps into that cold air, working its way through north—west england and up into scotland. as the day goes on though, that snow will become more confined to higher ground. and away from that, we‘ll see increasing amounts of cloud, the far south and east hanging
5:32 pm
on to the best of the brightness. still feeling cold but temperatures just starting to recover in the far south—west. and that will continue to be the trend as we head through the coming week. we gradually start to see our temperatures recover as weather systems begin to draw in slightly milder air each time. but a windy start to monday morning, particularly among irish sea coasts we can locally have gales with outbreaks of rain. with snow for the highlands and the southern uplands, and some of the rain will persist through the day through eastern scotland. but temperatures back up into double figures for some areas. so yes, it is going to be turning milder but it won‘t be plain sailing. we will see rain at times. some of that will be heavy, mainly out to the west but certainly not exclusively and at times it will be windy. and a snapshot of our capital cities over the week shows how those temperatures recover by day, but by night we could have some frost still. hello this is bbc news... the headlines... nissan is expected to announce next week that it‘s cancelling plans to build its new model suv at its plant in sunderland. thousands take to the streets in venezuela to protest

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? we are definitely in awards season, so we have a couple of contenders. first the greenbook, the story of an unlikely friendship. ‘can you ever forgive me?‘ memoirs of a forger. and burning, a film from south korea. where do you want to start? green book, first picture, best supporting actor, and mahershala ali is tipped to win. peter farrelly with his brother used to make comedies, like dumb and dumber, and this is a comedy. this is a drama with some comedic
5:46 pm
element in it. it is based on a friendship between tony, who needs work, and old school races. he is an old—school racist. he goes for a job interview and he finds that the job is to be a chauffeur and minder for an african american pianist. but he needs the work. they are to ring the segregated south. they are going to some dangerous areas. and they are chalk and cheese. one of them is educated and a brilliant musician and the other is vulgar and comes from the streets. inevitably during theirjourney together they find they have things in common, not least when tony is trying to write letters home to his wife and don starts to tell him how he should write a letter. here is a clip. dear dolores, d—e—a—r. this is an animal. "as i am writing this letter i‘m

eating potato chips and i‘m starting to get thirsty." you know this is pathetic, right? tell me what you are trying to say. i don‘t know. you know, i miss her. then say that. but do it in a manner that no one else has ever done it before. something like... put this down. "falling in love with you was the easiest thing i have ever done." "nothing matters to me but you and every day i am alive i am aware of this. i loved you the day i met you. i love you today and i will love you the rest of my life." aw. it is a good—hearted film, you can see from that. it is oscars, so whenever there is an oscar contender there is controversy. on the one hand, the family says this is not true, they were not friends,
5:48 pm
it was an employer and employee relationship. there have been complaints that this is a story about racism but seen through the eyes of a white character and he saves the day. there have also been comparisons with driving miss daisy, which won the oscar for best picture. but that was saved by the performances. in this case, it is the performances that saves it. i understand the criticism that it is a soft film and it is just trivia. but the performances are really winning, so much so that when you are watching the film you think, i am going to park all the things i think that is wrong with it because i like the characters. i think mahershala ali has a good chance of winning. i think viggo mortensen does a good job with his role. you would be hard pressed not to be charmed by it because its heart is in the right place. yes, it makes a lot of mistakes, it is not ground—breaking and it is fantastically soft soap to.
5:49 pm
remember it is awards season. how much of the aspects of the chemistry between the two leads applies to your next pic of the releases? good question. melissa mccarthy and richard e grant have been nominated as well. this is based on a true story, the story of lee is real, author who could not get published, so she started forging letters from famous literary figures, noel coward and dorothy parker. she found out she got quite good at it. she said in the film i am a better dorothy parker than dorothy parker. richard e grant is jack, the character she fakes the letters for. a lot of people say he is like withnail and i, but that character was needy. in this, he puts up a lot of front because he has got a lot of anxieties. she is fantastic.
5:50 pm
a couple of reviews have said it is a revelation. but it is not a revelation, she was in dramatic theatre for a number of years. evenif even if you look at our flawed film like tammy... she has always had a dramatic underpinning. this was brought to the screen and a very likeable form. i like the chemistry between them. norepinephrine‘s name comes up a lot in the dialogue in a funny way. and as a huge fan of her i liked this in much the same way. it is about the characters. there is a great irony in the centre at eight. —— of it. it is about somebody who finds her own voice by pretending to be the voices of other people and i think it works really well. richard e grant is fantastic. it is a long overdue nomination. the next release, burning, which is not about chemistry and it is entirely different. this is based on a short story
5:51 pm
which i have not read. shy young man, his mother left home and his father was in trouble with the law and he has to turn to the family farm. one day he sees a girl who is outside a stall trying to get punters to come in and he does not recognise. what he does not realise is she knew him as a child from the village where they both grew up. here is a clip. hard to work out from that what that film is really about. exactly and i have seen the whole film and it is still quite hard. he is smitten but mystified. she tells him things but he does not remember. then she asks him to look after her cat which he never find. then she turns up with a playboy boyfriend who is a gatsby type figure and he likes to make barnes disappear by burning them down and then she disappears. the rest of the film is him trying to figure out
5:52 pm
whether she has disappeared, has she actually disappeared? is he involved ? do we get any answers? maybe it is a murder mystery and maybe it is a film about rich and poor and town and country and reality and invention and memory and what you think remember. the film closes on you like this and it becomes so mesmerising. i was completely gripped by it and afterwards i spoke to a couple of people and said, was that a clue? did you see the cat? what i loved about it if it is one of those films that gets right under your skin. it is absolutely breathtaking. is it a murder mystery, a love story, a paranoid thriller? is it all in his mind? at no point does the film say, here is what is going on. it is really brilliantly mystifying in a way which is completely mesmerising. ijust wanted to go straight back
5:53 pm
in and watch it again. i will watch it again. even on second viewing it will keep the secrets. you have got to be up with the uncertainty of it. but how wonderful, i loved it. it is so hard to describe. i have no idea what you are talking about even after seeing it. go and see it to have a proper discussion with you about it. destroyer. i like this. the whole of the best director liz has not one single female director in a year that had so many great movies directed by women. ——director list. this film has been sadly overlooked and it needs to find an audience. it is a really good, twisted cop thriller. and two sentences on best dvd. disobedience, again it is a story about life, love, religion, betrayal, the universe and everything.
5:54 pm
wow, that will do me. that is a good collection for this week. thank you so much. and that is all we have time for. thank you for watching. goodbye. hello there. winter has been flexing its muscles recently but there are signs we are going to see something a little bit milder as we head through the coming week. many areas though seeing scenes like this through the day today. and while there are some good spells of sunshine around, we‘ve also got further wintry showers affecting parts of pembrokeshire and down into south—west england, along the east coast and the far north. away from these areas, more crisp, winter sunshine on offer but it feels cold, particularly in that northerly wind, which certainly isn‘t helping the temperatures. as we head into tonight, where we‘ve seen a bit of snow melt, a few showers, there‘s the chance of some icy stretches.
5:55 pm
it is going to be cold under those starry skies, temperatures will plummet. through parts of south england, we could have the coldest night of the winter so far. where we‘ve got the lying snow we could see temperatures fall as low as —12 celsius. a few wintry showers continuing to feed in across the far north. so a cold start to sunday morning but a change is afoot. we start to look to the atlantic for these weather systems that are gradually, over the week, going to introduce something a little bit milder. through tomorrow, we will see some cloud and outbreaks of rain and snow initially as it bumps into that cold air, working its way through north—west england and up into scotland. as the day goes on though, that snow will become more confined to higher ground. and away from that, we‘ll see increasing amounts of cloud, the far south and east hanging on to the best of the brightness. still feeling cold but temperatures just starting to recover in the far south—west. and that will continue to be the trend as we head through the coming week. we gradually start to see our
5:56 pm
temperatures recover as weather systems begin to draw in slightly milder air each time. but a windy start to monday morning, particularly among irish sea coasts we can locally have gales with outbreaks of rain. with snow for the highlands and the southern uplands, and some of the rain will persist through the day through eastern scotland. but temperatures back up into double figures for some areas. so yes, it is going to be turning milder but it won‘t be plain sailing. we will see rain at times. some of that will be heavy, mainly out to the west but certainly not exclusively and at times it will be windy. and a snapshot of our capital cities over the week shows how those temperatures recover by day, but by night we could have some frost still. it this is bbc news. the headlines at 6. nissan is expected to announce next week, that it‘s cancelling plans to build its new model suv at its plant in sunderland. thousands take to the streets in venezuela to protest
