word. they are saying mps should vote to enforce —— to force mrs may to come back to the commons before the end of the month. if she does not, mps themselves should have more power to decide what happens next. we will discuss again, thank you very much. work has begun to enable the m20 motorway in kent to be turned into a car park, in the event of possible disruption caused by a no—deal brexit. steel barriers are being installed that would allow traffic to keep moving in a contraflow system on one side of the motorway, while lorries would be parked up on the other. the road between ashford and maidstone will be closed overnight, until the work's completed in mid—march. police investigating the disappearance of the missing hull university student libby squire, have been given more time to question a man. 21 year old libby hasn't been seen for over a week. the 2a year—old man, who was arrested on suspicion of abduction, will remain in custody until nine o'clock this evening. the scientist who discovered the link between eating too much processed meat and bowel cancer has accused the government of not doing enough to encourage people
8:07 am
to cut their consumption. the department of health says it's committed to ensuring that all food products are as safe as possible, as ben ando reports. the cancer risks in eating too much processed meat, like bacon and ham, were first exposed four years ago, but since then, says the man who discovered the link, nothing has been done to warn people or reduce consumption. professor denis corpet, who led the research, has described the lack of action as a dereliction of duty by politicians in the uk and the eu. the danger is down to nitrites, chemicals that are used to help preserve the meat, which can be responsible for causing bowel cancer. nitrite to put into processed food to protect against bacteria and microbes that can cause food poisoning, which itself, of course, can be very dangerous. the food standards agency says it tries to get the balance right, between putting in nothing to be effective and not so much as to cause undue risk.
8:08 am
so what and how much is safe? processed meats include sausages, bacon, ham, corned beef, and deli meats. nhs guidance says to eat no more than 70g a day — that's the equivalent of about two sausages or three thin slices of ham. cancer campaigners say there are other much more risky factors. we know the link between processed meat and cancer is not well—known, especially compared to link with smoking, but it is putting it into context — that smoking is inherently much more risky when it comes to cancer. but with ham a staple of many school lunch boxes, professor corpet says parents in particular need to think about how much processed meat their children are eating. ben ando, bbc news. kurdish—led forces, backed by the united states, have launched a final push to defeat the islamic state group in syria. more than 20,000 civilians have been evacuated

8:13 am
you. you have a huge task which we will come to in a moment. max, you wrote a letter and started a campaign about yourdad, wrote a letter and started a campaign about your dad, tell us about it. they want to read from the letter? yes. my dad has a blood cancer that i really don't want him to have. i really want you to help my dad beat his blood cancer by registering to be on the stem cell donor list. if my dad does not find a stems match, he will only have a few more years with me and i want lots more. totally understand that, brilliant, well done. tell is about you and how you discover that you
8:14 am
we re you and how you discover that you were ill. my story kicks off back in 2016, i had just were ill. my story kicks off back in 2016, i hadjust done were ill. my story kicks off back in 2016, i had just done an iron man match in wales. well done! the family had to put up with my training regimen. a couple of days later i was in hospital with pneumonia and legionnaires but i managed to get over that. subsequently things did not get better so long story short was that i was called into the office of my gp aftera ct i was called into the office of my gp after a ct scan and he told me i had suspected myeloma. my reaction was, cani had suspected myeloma. my reaction was, can i take antibiotics for it? he then said cancer and subsequent conversations to because to this life span of seven years. then we had to make a choice, chemotherapy and treatment by the last two years
8:15 am
but we decided with working with dkms to take it proactively. in september last year, we started a campaign called 10,000 donors. the key is first and foremost to get 10,000 new registers on the global list. only 2% of the uk population oi'i list. only 2% of the uk population on that register but opportunities like this gives us a chance to spread the word and get more people oi'i spread the word and get more people on there. it is free, it does not cost you anything. you just register with dkms. this angel pack in the post and you send it back. there is a cost in running that. —— the send you our pack. you are note —— you are not donating a kidney, you have millions of stem cells floating around your body. it is a cheap
8:16 am
swab, there is nothing invasive about it. why are so few people registered? i think a lot of it is awareness. if you go back 15 years, the were done when stem cells were extracted from the back of the bone and most people do not like needles. times have changed, that only accou nts times have changed, that only accounts for 10% of donations. it is like giving blood, blood taken from one arm... i want to show you this, this is the informative diagram about what happens. so blood is taken from one arm, pumped through a machine and this themselves are pumped out and it is given back to you through the other arm. that is a continuous cycle of four to six hours. stem cells replenish themselves within a four week period. that joining is fantastic.
8:17 am
thank you. i know some of your friends have signed up for this, one of your fence has been a friends have signed up for this, one of yourfence has been a much? absolutely. the 10,000 is arbitrary, we will keep going once we reach that. we have had 5000 people sign up that. we have had 5000 people sign up in four months and four confirmed people which is four lives impacted immeasurably. my friend alex is in london right now donating his stem cells. the more people we get to sign up, the greater the opportunity. people will not then be in the opportunity like i was with my doctor saying this illness cannot be cured, there is hope if you had stem cells. it should be, you have got this, we have the technology, we had the stem cells and we can translate — — transplant
8:18 am
had the stem cells and we can translate —— transplant and tea within weeks. that is my aim with this campaign to make them available. you must be very proud of your diet for all this work he is doing with this. —— your dad. to people talk to you about this at school and elsewhere, what you sitting in? some people say to me... you are doing a brilliantjob, just by year on the sofa here with your dad you have done more than you can imagine. —— just by sitting here. as you said, you get this pipe through the post, it does not hurt. people in general good health can visit 10,000 donors dot—com. request a swa b 10,000 donors dot—com. request a swab from their gp, do it at home. 10,000 donors dot—com. request a swab from their gp, do it at homelj had better get on with it then. yes,

see you in half an hour. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. mathematician and broadcaster bobby seagull is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to bobby in a minute, first let's look at the front pages. the sunday mirror leads with the story that prince philip has handed in his driving licence. they add that the woman who was involved in a crash with the duke of edinburgh last month has said she now feels safer. the observer reports that mps are calling for the sacking of transport secretary chris grayling over the collapsed brexit ferry deal. the mail on sunday features an expose on labour leaderjeremy corbyn, labelling him ‘totally unfit for office' . and the express shows a picture of commons speakerjohn bercow and leading tory remainer kenneth clarke claiming a "brexit curry house plot". andrew marr is coming up at ten
8:23 am
o'clock. first, where are you going to start? the observer, staff crisis looming. teachers love learning and they want to pass on their knowledge to the next generation but there needs to be fairness and what they are paid. the issue is real term cuts over the last seven years. every year the pay is in theory going up but because of inflation it has been cut, in real terms for thousand pounds annually. this is impacting recruitment and retention of teachers. so many teachers do this as a vocationaljob as well, it must be tough? absolutely. if you are thinking that you need to
8:24 am
inspire the next generation, as a nation wish to have a better attitude towards teachers. it feels like with pina last seven years, i understand the austerity and tough times but there should be respect for the profession. —— with salary for the profession. —— with salary for the profession. —— with salary for the last seven years. for the profession. —— with salary for the last seven yearslj for the profession. —— with salary for the last seven years. i bet eve ryo ne for the last seven years. i bet everyone has a fleece in their wardrobe, nice and cosy and warm, good value but the national trust is trying to change the type of the said hands out because it is saying they are not environmentally friendly. we all love fleeces but they contain microfibres and when you wash them, these 5% up on the environment and water. it can be ingested by aquatic creatures and parts which can lead to starvation and death. they cause environmental damage so the national trust is
8:25 am
asking if we can create new ways of making jumpers and fleeces so it does not create the waste that it does not create the waste that it does now. either asking manufacturers to change it? yes, there is research going on into different types of jumpers there is research going on into different types ofjumpers like a proteinjumper which different types ofjumpers like a protein jumper which would not be as damaging. it is good that the national trust is recognising fleeces because problems with the microfibres or perhaps people should not watch them as much!|j microfibres or perhaps people should not watch them as much! i would say fleeces last a long time but perhaps thatis fleeces last a long time but perhaps that is why. there is a joint statement saying the global industry is working to gather the data needed to make more decisions about the fibres used to make the product. it is very interesting, fundamental change could happen. the next story is about the sunday telegraph about retail. i do not have a copy so you
8:26 am
have to explain. they are seeing in 2018 there was a record level of stores closing, 18,000. i think 13,500 opened at the same time. what is the reason for this? increased rents is one reason but weird you do your christmas shopping?” rents is one reason but weird you do your christmas shopping? i did half and half. has it changed over time? yes, definitely. retailers are at the brunt of the shift in their spending culture. let us look at this wild garden in a lot of the papers this morning, this is the duchess of cambridge helping to create a garden for the chelsea flower show. you can see it here, it isa flower show. you can see it here, it is a garden which is really designed for playing. again, i generation where young people are spending more time indoors and on their telephone,
8:27 am
this is to get them outside and enjoying the mental health benefits of being connected with nature. we have a tree house here, i love this seat, a day, at the age, stepping stones. it looks like a fun place to spend time. —— a bridge. stones. it looks like a fun place to spend time. -- a bridge. you can go and play on that. i will light the fire. this is about diesel cars, if you have recently bought a diesel car, perhaps not the best news. up to 20% in the last years cut into the value. people are looking at hybrid electric cars. a lot of environmental stories this morning. microfibres in jumpers, people environmental stories this morning. microfibres injumpers, people are much more aware of the impact on the
8:28 am
outside surroundings. lovely to see you, thank you for coming in. lovely to see you, thank you for coming in. andrew marr‘s coming up at 10 o'clock on bbc one, andrew what's in store today? in political news, a lot about the labour party, talks of splits and anti—semitism. i am joined labour party, talks of splits and anti—semitism. iamjoined by labour party, talks of splits and anti—semitism. i am joined by tom watson, deputy leader of the labour party and james brokenshire and also by the film director spike read and the austrian foreign minister to give is a view from the brussels cider thing a busy hour at ten o'clock. it sounds like it, thank you very much. —— brussels side of things. —— brussels side of things. we're here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning, and coming up in the next hour... as prince philip gives up his licence at the age of 97, we'll discuss what the rules are for older drivers. we'll meet the cub scout who's earned every badge available. and we'll find out why ‘the favourite', is the favourite, at tonight's bafta awards. huge amount of talk about that film.

8:31 am
steel barriers are being installed that would allow traffic to keep moving in a contraflow system on one side of the motorway, while lorries would be parked up on the other. the road between ashford and maidstone will be closed overnight until the work's completed in mid—march. the scientist who discovered the link between eating too much processed meat and bowel cancer has accused the government of not doing enough to encourage people to cut their consumption. professor denis corpet says unnecessary deaths are not being prevented. the department of health says it's committed to ensuring that all food products are as safe as possible. kurdish—led forces, backed by the united states, have launched a final push to defeat the islamic state group in syria. more than 20,000 civilians have been evacuated from land still held by is near to the iraqi border. there's been reports of heavy fighting throughout the night. two people arrested in connection with a house fire in stafford which killed four children have been released on bail. the 24—year—old woman and

8:33 am
with the sport this morning. yes, the premier league title race might take another twist, manchester city could have a twist, and spurs as well. you knew i would mention them. and the rugby, two interesting matches yesterday. wales below par. they haven't hit top gear yet. but ireland have got their mojo back. good morning. wales are top of the six nations table after beating italy 26—15 in rome, that's a record equalling 11th test win a win a row. the champions ireland are up and running, three tries at murrayfield saw them beat scotland 22—13 james burford reports the unmistakable sound of six nations. ireland set on igniting the defence of their crown.
8:34 am
rugby at this level is about punishing your opponents' mistakes and that is what ireland did so well on their way to the title last year, that's what they had to do here with conor murray racing over. it wasn't long before jacob stockdale added one on. last yea r‘s top scorer clearly very keen to match his previous achievements. but in this game, how often do we see the pendulum swing? scotland's finn russell sensed this was a turning point. commentator: the pop up, the try! sam johnson for scotland! determined not to let this one slip, the defending champions threw caution to the wind and flung themselves forward. ireland up and running but by no means perfect. they were in our 22 for 34% of the time and in our half for about 72% of the time. so that was a massive defensive effort. we kind of went to to sleep little bit there and we have got to be better than that. wales, meanwhile, were in for scare in rome. italy had every intention of spoiling the party and were well on the way to doing
8:35 am
so when braam steyn went over. but eventually the away side's quality told. warren gatlin could breathe a sigh of relief as his players ground out an 11th successive win. pat yourselves on the back, you've just equalled a welsh record. you have got to enjoy that moment. in international rugby, everything is not about being perfect. if they beat england in two weeks' time, wales will break a record that has stood for 109 years. until then, this is a moment to savour. two wins out of two for wales who know they must improve for their match against england in a fortnight. eddiejones‘ team play this afternoon at twickenham, france the visitors. england should be hight on confidence after that impressive start against the irish in dublin last weekend. captain owen farrell says they're prepared for anything france throw at them. they have a massive pack that can suck you in and make your defence tight so they can take advantage and score tries in the corner.
8:36 am
we know that they come alive with offloads and turnovers and a scrappy ball and things like that. all the teams seem to come to life and punish you. but the main thing for us is that we are at it for 80 minutes on the weekend, that we're focused, that we're engaged and really ready for anything. england face the champions france in the women's six nations in doncaster at 12:a5. wales and italy gound out a 3—3 draw in lecce in southern italy yesterday, teo measly penalties. robyn wilkins gave wales a half—time lead. italy equalised in the second half and had this kick to win it in added time. but it drifted wide. a draw does at least lift wales off the
8:37 am
bottom of the table. it was an emotional afternoon at southampton where tributes were paid to striker emiliano sala. the argentinian who never got the chance to play for cardiff. it was their first match since his death was confirmed following a plane crash in the english channel. as for the game itself, a last—minute kenneth zohore goal earned cardiff a 2—1win, and that takes them out of the relegation zone. a fitting result then for the bluebirds manager, who said they did it for sala. he was a fabulous lad, emiliano. you know, when i met him and you know, i think it's appropriate that we come down today with out black arm bands on and put in ta performance like that. you know, it could quite easily have folded, but we were determined today. liverpool are back on top of the premier league, manchester city will return there if they beat chelsea this afternoon, butjurgen klopp's side have their noses in front, that's after after a much needed 3—0 win over bournemouth at anfield, it could have been more. sadio mane gave them the lead before that delicious lob from georghino wijnaldum. mo salah scored their third early in the second half. after two straight draws,
8:38 am
they had slipped behind city on goal difference, but they are now three points clear, and will have a game in hand after city's match. we wanted to show a reaction and not on the noise around but only the we had. it's ourjob to not only come through somehow. we want to convince. we want to really perform and we did that, we had outstanding football moments on the pitch. we were focused, were concentrated and yeah, deserved the three points. manchester united are into the champions league places for the first time since the opening day of the season. their remarkable unbeaten run under ole gunnar solskjaer continues. two paul pogba goals and a solo effort from anthony martial gave them a 3—0 win at fulham. palace drew against west ham, arsenal stay sixth but move to within three
8:39 am
points of chelsea after a 2—1 win at huddersfield. and it was an unhappy return to watford for former manager marco silva as his everton side lost 1—0 at vicarage road. a third straight league defeat for everton, who had kurt zouma sent off after full time. burnley won 3—1 at brighton. in the scottish cup, kilmarnock can thank their keeper for taking rangers to a fifth round replay. daniel bachmann saved james tavernier‘s penalty early in the first half at rugby park. it was goaless at full time, and they'll face each other again at ibrox in ten days' time for a place in the quarterfinals. it was the perfect week for great britain's fed cup team down in bath in their europe africa zone event. they've won the final against serbia katie boulter and johanna konta again won both theire singles rubbers. konta battled through fatigue to beat serbia's aleksandra krunic in three sets.
8:40 am
it means that great britain are just one win away from reaching world group ii for the first time since 1993. the emotion and the exhaustion got to konta, who was happy to have won but said she felt terrible. she put her feet up for a couple of weeks. she does look absolutely exhausted. yes, she left it all out there, as tennis players like to say. england's batsmen finally showed some mettle in the final test against west indies in st lucia. the series is already lost and it looked like this could be heading the way of the others as keatonjennings on his return to the side, once again failed to impress on the first day. but an unbeaten century partnership from ben stokes and jos buttler helped england to 231—4. play resumes at 2 o'clock. the british indoor athletics championships continue this afternoon, laura muir is the new 3000 metre champion. it's longer than her normal
8:41 am
distance, she smashed through the last 400 metres to take the title in 8 minutes 48 seconds. melissa courtney took the silver, and amy eloise—neal ran a lifetime best to take the bronze. i knew that i could go a little bit faster and try and get the times, melissa has run fantastic over 2000 as well, so i needed my strength and speed and i just as well, so i needed my strength and speed and ijust wanted to tuck in, andi speed and ijust wanted to tuck in, and i wanted to run that last lap sub 60, which i believe i did, so thatis sub 60, which i believe i did, so that is good. you can follow the second day of the championships across the bbc, you will be able to find a link on the website, no doubt. david law has his first title on the european golf tour. it came at the vic open just outside melboune. and what a way to win it, an eagle on the last for a one stroke victory. the scot finished on 18 under par. the vic open is the only
8:42 am
touranment with male and female fields playing on the same course at the same time for equal prize money. they play in alternate groups. the french player celine boutier also won her first tour title. and it is quite handsome purse for the men and women, £750,000, and the rankings sanctioned by the european tour and the lpga. it has got to be their way forward, hasn't it? yes, it works, it is entertaining, you get the men coming through, then the women. it mightjust appeal to everybody. thank you very much. it is 8:42am. you are watching breakfast. at the age of 97, the duke of edinburgh has decided to give up his driving licence — this after he apologised for his part in a car crash last month.
8:43 am
let's talk about how that process works, and what advice is in place for older drivers, with peter rodger from the charity iam roadsmart. good morning. i know we are talking about the duke of edinburgh, but the situation that he and his family are in is very common, isn't it, for families up and down the country who will be watching this morning, perhaps an older driver in the family, it can be incredibly difficult to persuade someone that they perhaps shouldn't be on the road any more. it is one of those really sensitive things, because what you are talking about on the services whether someone should drive or not, but underneath the surface it is about personal independence, and almost identity. it isa independence, and almost identity. it is a really deep personal thing, because it is can ijust walk out of the door and go and do what i want to do orami the door and go and do what i want to do or am i dependent on other people to help me do that? how safe, statistically, our older drivers? say in the over 70s group? are they
8:44 am
as dangerous as we sometimes think they are? almost the exact opposite. if you take age groups of drivers, it is one of those slightly on statistics, but if you take age groups of drivers, the over 70s are the safest people on the road if you measure it by the number of them who have a driving licence and the number of times they are involved as drivers in events that cause people injury. that is counterintuitive, but behind that, older drivers in general are self—regulating what they do, tending not to drive around at three o'clock in the morning, tending to be in less of a hurry, not rushing around because work is making you rush, all those kind of things. so they are able to operate ina more things. so they are able to operate in a more relaxed manner, really. what advice do you have the people watching who might have an older driver in the family whose driving is causing them serious concern? driver in the family whose driving is causing them serious concern7m driving is causing you serious
8:45 am
concern, then you need to open a conversation. but do some research first, so find out what the alternatives are. i live in london where we have lots of public transport which is relatively accessible, where there are dial a ride schemes and all that sort of thing. the situation might be difficult in a rural norfolk or rural shropshire, we were only hearing yesterday about how many bus routes are disappearing. so you might need to think about what the alternatives are before you open the conversation, and if you are not sure, or you think that some external influence might be useful, there are lots of organisations, we are one, but there are lots of others, which offer a driving assessment for the mature driver, where you have that independent voice that might take some of the personal sting out of the conversation, because it can be a very sensitive issue. you say it can be, i have had this issue in my own
8:46 am
family. what if the older driver simply says, i am completely fine, it is none of your business? again, back to are there other ways you can deal with the conversation? can you persuade them to perhaps get some help and advice and constructive help? and in many cases, older drivers are performing quite well, without wanting to run across your own experience, in many cases the older drivers performing well but other people have expectations that they won't be able to, so taking that independent route can help in both ends of the spectrum, as it were. but there are plenty of stories where people have either gone to the doctor to get it done, you can write to the dvla yourself and get them to start a process, but it isa and get them to start a process, but it is a sensitive issue, and you do need to be aware of it, don't necessarily assume it has to be a single conversation that takes five minutes, it is opened and closed.
8:47 am
this might be a bit of a you need to work through over several conversations rather than just thinking it is an open and shut issue. peter, thank you very much indeed, for talking to us on a tricky issue. i'm surea tricky issue. i'm sure a lot of people will have sympathy with that issue. let's find out about the weather. here's darren with a look at this morning's weather. it is going to be that, cooler! cooler! we have still got some sunshine today, but also some rain around as well. we have also had a little snow over the very tops of the welsh hills, turning showery already. this rain will be continuing for a good few hours yet, turning wet in the south—east, stained —— staying cloudy until the
8:48 am
end of the day. we have this curl of rain with stronger winds arriving in northern ireland at the end of the afternoon. the wind is picking up a bit across the south, especially early on in the night as we get this wet weather moving away from northern ireland, that is gone by the morning, and there's wet weather in northern scotland moving southwards, maybe a little winter in is over the hills. we are drawing down northerly air, and we have some blue on the charts, so the threat of a touch of frost, more likely in scotland. but that feed of cold northerly wind gets cut off on monday by this developing ridge of high pressure which we will keep for the high time being. so a quiet start to the new week, a chilly start, a touch of frost, one or two icy patches, and a dry day. the wind should be light as well, and after
8:49 am
the frosty start, it will be chilly, further south, milder, double figures perhaps. this is tuesday, we have a dry start for england and wales, some sunshine as well, but more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland, and that will topple its way into the northern parts of england, and it brightens up parts of england, and it brightens up in northern parts of northern ireland. that northerly feed of air doesn't last very long at all, and it tends to fade away, so we keep most of the rain out in the atlantic. this is the dominant feature, that area of high pressure, and because it is sitting to the south—east, this is where the air is coming from, a long way south, so it would be cold. in fact it will be quite a mild week ahead, dominated by that area of high pressure, there won't be much rain around at all, breezy in the north and west, but as
8:50 am
we are seeing, we are drawing in some milder air. thank you very much indeed. i wonder if darren was a cub scout. were you in the cub scouts? i was, in the cub scouts? iwas, i in the cub scouts? i was, i was a sixer, and then i was a patrol leader in the scouts. i knew it! you will love this story. all cub scouts promise to do their best. but one from lancashire has done better than most. matthew is ten, and he's just completed every challenge to earn every badge on offer. he s believed to be one of a dozen or so who manage it every year. dave guest has been to meet him. his sleeve is covered in badges. can we get to this report about his
8:51 am
exploits? i don't think we can. what a shame. i think we saw him briefly running up the stairs. whoever is sowing those badges on is doing very, very well! while we prepare that report, let's talk about the matters. the bafta film awards take place at the royal albert hall tonight. the favourite, starring olivia colman as queen anne, has 12 nominations. here's our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba. as has become traditional, the duke and duchess of care will be the guests of honour this year's ceremony. and it's a royal drama, the favourite, which many expect to live up to its title and win the prestigious best film award. while its star, olivia colman, who plays queen anne, is the favourite for best actress. did you? look at me! how dare you! close your eyes! she has tough competition, though, from the wife star glenn close, after she won at the screen actors guild for her portrayal of the wife
8:52 am
of an award—winning author. you were seducing the luscious linnea? nothing happened. don't you dare insult my intelligence! four years out of the last five, best actor has been won by someone playing a real—life character. the vice presidency is mostly a symbolicjob. this year, christian bale, who plays former us vice president dick cheney in vice... and remi malik, who plays freddie mercury in the queen biopic bohemian rhapsody, look to be in a close race for that award. dear dolores... d-e-a-r. this is an animal. similarly for best supporting actor, mahershala ali, who plays a jazz musician touring america's deep south in green book... i'vejust come from having my teeth bleached. and richard e grant, who plays the best friend of a struggling author in can you ever forgive me?, are thought to be neck and neck.
8:53 am
while best supporting actress looks to be the night's most open race, emma stone and rachel weisz both in contention for the favourite alongside amy adams from vice, claire foy‘s portrayal of janet armstrong, the wife of astronaut neil armstrong in first man, and margot robbie's queen elizabeth i in mary queen of scots. lizo mzimba, bbc news. it is always a big night. film critic anna smithjoins us from our london newsroom. you have been on one of the panels, haven't you? yes, i am on the ee rising star award panel. and do you have quite robust discussions? yes, it is all behind closed doors, top secret, and we talk about the greatest talents of the year, then we all do a blind vote and pick our top five, and the nominees come out,
8:54 am
so they have been a surprise to me as well. i don't know who the public will pick, they will be voting until friday. let's talk about for example best film. we know the favourite is very much the favourite, why is that? it is a perfect bafta movie, very british, a lot of talent behind it. the director is great, and has previously done slightly more edgy things, this is a more accessible one than the lobster and killing of a sacred dear, and it stars olivia colman, who is very popular. yes, and also glenn close, lady gaga, so many popular actresses. it was a surprise i think the glenn close took the last award, but i think
8:55 am
that olivia colman is a popular bafta actress, i think she will take it today. what the eu has been the standout film ? it today. what the eu has been the standout film? once again, i think the favourite will take that, but i also think it is such an exceptional piece of work, that are already director awards already. i think he is very likely to win for that and also very likely to win for that and also very likely i think the best
8:56 am
foreign—language film, because it isn't in a foreign language, but i think that will be the favourite for me in that category. we have talked about roma, but it is only a limited release? it is mainly a netflix release, which makes it a historic, and if it goes on and continues to win, that will make it ground—breaking and significant, because there is an ongoing discussion about whether streaming films should even be allowed to be qualified for awards, but this certainly is proving that doubt as well. we have talked about leading actors, let's also talk about leading actor as well. renny malik isa leading actor as well. renny malik is a popular choice for bohemian rhapsody, and he is up against christian bale. christian bale is terrific in vice, and they are both playing real—life characters which work in an actor's favour when it
8:57 am
comes to being nominated and indeed winning. soi comes to being nominated and indeed winning. so i think in the past i would have said christian bale, but bohemian rhapsody is surprising my early doubts and doing really well, so he could take it. and the critics we re so he could take it. and the critics were so critical of bohemian rhapsody, and i know you are one.|j liked rhapsody, and i know you are one.” liked it, but with a few drawbacks. i thought it was overwhelmingly joyful and i forgave its i thought it was overwhelmingly joyful and iforgave its flaws, but it does have them. the audience have voted with their feet, and i was at a bafta screening where remi malik was president and he said it went —— where he was present and it went down well with the voters.” where he was present and it went down well with the voters. i haven't been able to see it, but tell me about a star is born, because bradley cooper has a couple of nominations, actor and director, and lady gaga as well. i think this
8:58 am
might be one of those films that is a lwa ys might be one of those films that is always the bridesmaid, never the bride, it has been awarded a7, but at the golden globes it only took one award. it is a very enjoyable film, i think the directing is terrific, lady gaga is tremendous, but is is falling short of the other films in terms of buzz. i'm not sure it will be very happy tonight. and looking towards the oscars, we are little bit biased here and everything. olivia colman, could she get the oscar, do you think? possibly. again, it is between her and glenn close, and that there is a feeling that it is glenn close's time. are you going to night? what it is like? very glamorous, royal albert hall, thousands of people, a sumptuous dinner with all the stars you could imagine. it is hard to believe that all these people are in the same room. sounds like terrible work! good luck, have a lovely day. just a reminder, baftas, joanna
