rain for northern ireland, west wales and the far south—west of england. early mist and fog clearing, but there will be patchy cloud around in the afternoon. the best of the sunshine is across scotland, and that is where we'll have the highest temperatures. as we go into tuesday, a similar day of weather. frontal system still only scraping into western parts. some rain, which could be heavy across northern ireland. elsewhere, largely dry with spells of sunshine once any early fog has cleared. tuesday will be the warmest day of the week for most of us. it could get to 19 or 20 across parts of scotland. as we move into wednesday, that front which has been lingering out west makes some progress eastwards. not much wind to push it along, so it's in no mood to move quickly. it becomes marooned on top of the british isles on wednesday. a band of cloud initially, but it may reinvigorate to give showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. ahead of that front, still some warmth, but behind it, the temperatures start to drop away.

that is the theme as we head towards the end of the week. it does look like turning a little cooler and fresher. some showers drifting eastwards during thursday. by friday, most of us will be dry, but temperatures are significantly lower than they have been. to sum things up for the week ahead, largely dry for most of us at first, rain spreading slowly eastwards. there could be patchy and dense fog and it does turn warmer for a time.

hello. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. early results in the spain's general election suggest that no party will be able to form a government on its own — meanwhile, a far—right party has won seats there for the first time

since the 19705. prayers have been held in the streets in sri lanka as church services are cancelled, a week after more than 250 people were killed in the easter sunday bombings. there's to be more prominent health warnings on packets of opioid painkillers because of growing concern over levels of addiction. police investigating the abduction and rape of two women in north london on thursday have released cctv images of a man they want to question. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be (guest c/a)with me are the political bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political correspondent for the times, henry zeffman, and the columnist for the guardian, dawn foster.

the metro leads with a story that victims of sexual offences are being warned that they must hand in their phones to police or risks letting their attackers go unpunished. the lead for the guardian is a report that whistleblowers have alleged that chaos, incompetence and bullying of home office employees is resulting in failed deporations and the detention of vulnerable people. the i anticipates a tough week ahead for the conservatives, predicting that they will lose 1,000 council seats in thursday's local elections. the ft leads on europe's financial regulation chief calling on the eu to overhaul its money laundering safeguards after the group's financial watchdog did not carry out an investigation into danish bank. the mail leads on a big survey which has concluded that britons who are above a healthy weight are at a heightened risk of developing severe health conditions including strokes, heart failure or an irregular heartbeat. and the main story for the telegraph is the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt's comments that britain should be cautious about allowing huawei to help build britain's 5g network.

quite a few of those feel like a retread of stories i have been reading for weeks by the guardian has something new, it sounds like these teams at the home office are under resourced and inexperienced. yes, they have looked at lots of different parts of the home office and the biggest problem is basically dealing with asylum cases, so one pa rt dealing with asylum cases, so one part is the fact that caseworkers are given 555 minutes to reject a claim and 222 grant one and the guardian say they that is more likely they are to reject them, and it can excuse the case against it and also the increased numbers of failed asylum seekers are being put into planes without escorts because they are under resourced and deportations don't then happen. so

there are a lot of very stressed, very under resourced and underpaid people in the home office and nothing seems to be working as it should be. there is a reference here to the dublin cessation team, which i'm surea to the dublin cessation team, which i'm sure a lot of people won't have heard of. it sounds like even in the home office, they won't have heard of it because last week it was called the third country unit, it has been renamed and it is about the eu rules under which member states are responsible for considering an asylu m are responsible for considering an asylum claim and then transferring the asylum seeker to a relevant state and clearly as long as the uk remains in the eu, we are bound by that convention, too. the really important thing here is whatever you think about britain's asylum policy and whether it is too permissive or restrictive, i don't think anyone would be comfortable with the story of chaos that is being told here and bureaucratic failings, really. for example, decisions on asylum applications are meant to take six months. they take two years. during

that time, applicants don't know if they can work or rent, that is clearly not ok. let's move on to the the i, this has been widely talked about, tories braced for a drubbing, about, tories braced for a drubbing, a word we don't hear very often outside of news headlines apart from my dad, this week from fed up voters. 1,000 council seats they think they might lose. the local elections are taking place this week in lots of the country and it is basically tory land, give or take a few, where these elections are happening, the places that are the bedrock of the tory coalition so if they are saying they do not like the conservatives, that is not good for the party. slight note of caution is that the way the council elections work is that these seats were last contested four days ago on the last day —— met four years ago on the same day as the 2015 general election and it feels a long time since the conservatives could win a functioning majority and they did then, so they are coming from an

historic heartland, so nevertheless, not good news. and when it comes to the european elections, in many cases, the conservative parties would prefer not to fight it at all according to this. apparently, the conservatives still haven't launched a european campaign, they are still working on the assumption that they might be able to wriggle out of the elections and somehow, which clearly isn't going to happen. do you think it is obvious we are going to have to ta ke it is obvious we are going to have to take part? i think it is almost impossible that theresa may will get a deal through in the next few weeks so a deal through in the next few weeks soi a deal through in the next few weeks so i think we have to accept we are going to have to vote. i think that we will leave before the fall term has happened, so those elected candidates will be put on ice, but at the moment it looks like there will be a lot more labour and brexit party candidates than there will be tories and even when you look at the council elections, the conservatives have fought it on two issues, bins and potholes and tried over and over again to try and get the election away from brexit, which is what has

upset so many voters. but, often, national discontent is sort of brought to the fore in a local area, even when it might have absolutely nothing to do with the council who is going to represent them. and the two issues do interact, so if potholes are not being fixed, the council might not have the money to fix them and that is because of decisions made by the conservative government over the past decade, so the local and national to interact but i think the conservative party just wants to get to the other side of both sets of elections. the metro, rape victims must allow cops access to mobiles. a real concern in this article about how this is an infringement of your civil liberties, a right to privacy. yes, victims groups for sexual assault and rape are very concerned about this. there have been a number, a small number of very high profile cases that collapsed at the last minute when digital evidence emerged and so now the cps and the police

are talking about the fact that they may require people to come forward —— i could come forward to allow the police to trawl their phones and there is a very low conviction rate for rape and sexual assault anyway and there is a fear that if people feel their privacy is violated after they have been attacked, they may just not come forward at all. the other side of this story, though, is that we had last year a number of rape trials collapse when evidence that finally came to the fore from mobile phones was brought to court. we have, although certainly my recollection is that in some of those cases, it wasn't that the evidence had never been disclosed, it was that the cps was doing a bad job of passing on to the prosecutors, and the police a bad job of passing on to the cps, digital data they already did have. it is being reported elsewhere that some of the cases of police asking for access to fans are really egregious. one woman was asked for all of her phone records dating back

seven years and the police said they would keep it for a century. i think most people would expect common sense to be applied here, this feels like a very crude mechanism which is not going to do anything to improve that conviction rate. the financial times, neverfarfrom brexit in its true direct form and here it is, theresa may facing a fresh brexit storm over aim to charge eu students more for tuition. why would anybody be surprised that we were going to perhaps consider this, given the fa ct perhaps consider this, given the fact that if we are not inside the eu, the previous rules are likely to change. that is one way of looking at this, is that all of the uk —— like all that the uk is suggesting is they are going to apply to eu students who want to study in the uk, the same fees that are applied to non—eu foreign students, but the difference here is that the uk starting from a position where the eu students do have a preferential scheme and also the uk wants goodwill from the eu in other areas.

we are asking the eu, under a situation where there is a brexit deal, for access to all sorts of programme “— deal, for access to all sorts of programme —— write programmes, like horizon 2020 or the programme under which british universities collaborate with european universities, so i think it is very strange to ask for brilliant relationships in one side of the court and whilst also making it very difficult for europeans to come here on the other. and also at a time when university seeing applications from abroad falling in some subjects, this is not necessarily the best way to attract more applicants, is it? it seems as if the government are essentially cutting off their nose to spite theirface. cutting off their nose to spite their face. they want more applicants, they want more eu stu d e nts to applicants, they want more eu students to come to the uk and then they are going to charge them a lot more, so obviously the number will fall more, so obviously the number will fa ll over more, so obviously the number will fall over and over again. it will be more difficult presumably for them to come here anyway, so if you are in that situation as a student, why wouldn't you go to germany, holland, where there are increasing in

numbers of english—speaking universities? this is one of the many issues that was raised after the country voted to leave, wasn't it? what happens to the erasmus programme? the right to study in 27 other countries? absolutely although it is worth saying this is not something that has to happen because of brexit, it is a decision that theresa may and damien heinz the education secretary want to make and i expect they will meet lots of resistance in the cabinet. the treasury it is suggested will object to the plan and like so much, this is probably a question that is going to be part of the forthcoming conservative leadership election and whoever wins that will really get to decide what the shape of britain's relationship with the eu is on all sorts of issues, but including this. shall we go back to the guardian and look at the picture story on the front, hayley carruthers collapsing just metres from the line of the finishing line of the london marathon today. there is a woman who is clearly immensely fit and itjust

tells you that the marathon takes on the body. on the body, yes, but also the body. on the body, yes, but also the mind, you have to completely drag yourself over at the end. she still finished 18th, even though she had to drag herself over. a lot of people were running around the two hour mark, easily sub—3 hours and it is incredible so many could manage to do that and i can't even run five k. ever been tempted? not at all. tempted and then quickly realised i couldn't do it. i was surprised at how the people in really elaborate costu mes how the people in really elaborate costumes were how the people in really elaborate costu mes were a ble how the people in really elaborate costumes were able to run and if they just ran costumes were able to run and if theyjust ran a normal —— in a normal costume of shirt and shorts, they would do very well. there is something brilliant about simultaneously in the same race having this woman, hayley carruthers, and the video that lots of people saw as someone dressed as big ben was failing to even cross the finishing line. the fact that they are competing, even if in name

only, in the same race is quite nice. let's finish with the avengers. henry is going to have to help dawn. avengers smash the record as disney eyes netflix fight. this is an extraordinary number to take up is an extraordinary number to take up the box office, as this film opens. that is right, $1 billion globallyjust in a week in, which makes me feel good because i'm clearly in a large number of people sad enough to have gone and seen it already. and you queued. yes, there was a queue stretching out of the cinema door because people were so keen to get an early and get prime seats, so they made sure everybody got in at the same time, slightly ridiculous. the key thing is it is not one film, it is the culmination ofa not one film, it is the culmination of a decade—long saga, they call it the marvel cinematic universe, which isa the marvel cinematic universe, which is a bit grandiose but basically, they are just very good fighting films. what is this certificate? i think this one was a 12a. so you get

let in, but would you want to? what doesn't appeal to you? properly the fighting but i am terrible at sitting in the cinema, ifidget. fighting but i am terrible at sitting in the cinema, i fidget. and it is three hours long. three hours? isn't that self died —— indulgent? speaking it titanic and over again. speaking it titanic and over again. speak i didn't you enjoy that?” think i was a relatively small child. isn't there an acronym for people who don't want to miss out on something. fomo, fear of missing out. i wonder if you have suffered from that? definitely, because the story to this film started with ironman and it would have felt like a waste of my previous errors put in

ifi a waste of my previous errors put in if i didn't go. that is also true. that is it for the papers this error by dawn and henry will be back at 11:30pm for another look at monday morning's front pages. coming up next, though, it is the film review. hello, there, welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's releases, mark kermode. mark, you got something for everyone this week, haven't you? we have. we have eighth grade, the debut feature from bo burnham. avengers: endgame — the saga comes to a conclusion. and bel canto, a trouble drama

starring julianne moore. so, eighth grade. just to be clear — because there's a different system in the united states — this is 14—year—olds? exactly. it's the end of middle school, and it stars elsie fisher is kayla, and it stars elsie fisher as kayla, a 13—year—old coming to the end of her eighth grade. and she is socially anxious in person. we see these shots of her moving through the corridors of school. everybody else is moving this way, she's moving that way. she finds it quite difficult to communicate with her peers in person. she's crushingly voted "most quiet" in class at the end of the year. but she has a second life online. there is a version of herself that she puts out online in which she posts cute, happy selfies. she does video blogs, vlogs, of self—help videos of how to put yourself out there and how to be more confident, how to be yourself. and the fact that no—one appears to be watching these videos — we see the video count as one, two, five, zero — doesn't matter, because in a way, she's kind of using that to talk to herself. she's also using her phone

and her headphones to avoid conversation with her father, because she has brilliantly observed, slightly sort of scrapie relation with her father, who she finds painfully embarrassing. here's a clip. can you not look like that, please? what? like what? just, like, the way you're looking. looking at the road? you can look at the road, dad! i obviously didn't mean that! just, like, don't be weird and quiet while you do it. sorry. hey, how was the...? no! you were being quiet, which is fine. just, like, don't be weird and quiet. cos, like, i look over at you and i think you're about to drive us into a tree or something. and then i get really freaked out and then i can't text my friends, sojust, like, be quiet and drive and don't look weird and sad. please. 0k. he sighs. that's worse. now don't be weird, mark!

the trailer says you're going to fall in love with elsie fisher. do we fall in love with her? i fell in love with the whole film. it's directed by bo burnham, who started out his career as an internet comedian doing songs, comedy sketches, and many of which are very, very brilliant. and what this manages to show you the life of this 13—year—old, who is painfully anxious, who is absolutely beset by anxiety about her peer group. it depicts a life in a completely sympathetic way which understands, for a start, the specifics of her life. bo burnham said that this is a film about a generation who have grown up in a culture they did not create which demands that they put a version of themselves out there online, and he said very specifically when he was receiving one of many awards that it was a generation referred to as somehow self—obsessed, but in fact what they are it's self—conscious. what they are is self—conscious. and the brilliant thing about this film is it looks like he's listened to those people.

it look like he's actually understood their experience. he gets the specifics of growing up in this generation z, the post—millenial generation. but as with all great coming—of—age movies, if you get the specifics right, the universality will take care of itself. the real genius of its film is not only that it's funny, and dark, and moving, and heartbreaking, and uplifting, and there is kindness, and there is cruelty all mixed together. but no matter who you are, you can watch this film and see, in that central character, a version of yourself, or someone you understand. i mean, i have nothing in common with that lead character, but the pain and the anguish that she goes through is really, really universal. i think this is one of the best films of the year. it came out in america last year. it was one of the films that barack obama listed as one of his favourite films of 2018. it's really wonderful. and in a week in which we have bigger blockbusters coming out, for me, this is the one to seek out. i think anyone with a beating heart will love this film. this is one of those films like mary poppins

which is going to be if you don't love this, we don't have anything further to say to each other. a real film for today. speaking of blockbusters, we have avengers: endgame, which is only three hours and one minute long. yes, and a little bit of that is the credit, but it is pretty much three hours long. this is the end part of infinity war, and it is concluding the saga which is played out over a series of films. it picks up at the end of infinity war, which has ended in disaster, and the beginning of the film is sombre in tone. actually daringly sombre, i think. reminded me of things like logan. film is a very much a three—act structure, each act with a very different flavour. i don't want to say anything at all about the plot, because if people want to go and see it at the weekend, don't want to spoil anything. it is very impressive that in the film of this kind of size, of this kind of visual spectacle, with this number of characters that they have to deal with, that actually, what it manages to do is it manages to make you care about the characters when they're on—screen. i laughed more times than i have

done in many alleged comedies. there were two moments in the film in which i teared up. bear in mind, i'm not that much emotionally vested in the story, but there were two moments which worked, which struck me as being universal. i do think that you do have to have seen the previous films. there's always a lot of discussion about, "can i see it?" you can do, but the more of the other ones you have seen, the more invested you are, the more you're going to get out of it. although there are moments because of the sheer number of elements it is dealing with, it feels perhaps slightly baggy or kind of... it is impressive that through all that, amidst all the visual spectacle, amidst everything else, it is the characters that are actually at the centre of it, and it does have an emotional heart. it has an emotional core and i don't think any fans will feel let down. even i, who is quite emotionally removed from this, was touched by it enough to be moved to tears in places. ok, bel canto, which is a hostage siege south america based on a novel. yes, a very popular novel, which apparently is very good. i haven't read the novel. i have seen the film. julianne moore is an opera

singer who agrees to give a highly—paid concert. ken watanabe is the industrialist who is in this country, who is there because he is theoretically going to be involved in building a factory. actually, he's there to see julianne moore sing. when guerrillas take over the building, they do so because they think the president is there. when they realise the president isn't there, they realise that the best asset they have is julianne moore. they wantjulianne moore to sing for them. the government has turned off the water to this house to make things more uncomfortable for us. i gathered that. we need water. my comrade wants to shoot someone just to show the government who is in charge, but i have another thought. what's that? i want you to sing. i want you to sing loud enough that these animals outside can hear it. what good would that do? it might remind them what is at stake. 0h.

no. i won't sing. not for you. he says to do what you're told. 0h. or what, he'll shoot me? you kept one woman, one american, una americana. if you shoot me, what do you think will happen to you and your people? i don't think i need to do what you say. i have to say with such a huge amount of international talent on screen, and julianne moore, who i think is generally wonderful, and it was based on a well—respected book, it's a shame that the film itself is so misjudged. it seemed to be, on the one hand torn between being a serious drama and on the other hand, being a soap opera. there's a subplot about the president not being there because he is staying at home to watch a soap opera on television. i have to say on some points, you think that is what you're watching. i did go into it, thinking, this is good quality actors and good quality stuff, and then just sitting there thinking, "at what point is this going to stop looking

like a creaky television drama?" the answer is, never. it's a real shame because, as i said, i'm a big fan of many of the people involved, but it is a real disappointment. oh, dear. all right. thank you. best out? from me, mid—905. a film you'll really struggle to find in theatres. a coming—of—age drama byjonah hill. a companion piece to eighth grade. also very empathetic. some have compared it to kids, but it's clearly different because it's made by somebody who actually understands the kids. i know you're a big fan also of... wild rose! jessie buckley! it's a such a great story about someone using country music to speak those inner truths — three chords and the truth, which country music is meant to be. i think it gets right to the heart of that and it's uplifting. i've seen it with a crowd. people really do end up punching the air, and a lovely cameo by whispering bob harris! one of the very few people who has earned the right to play himself in utterly glowing terms, because he really is that nice.

she's a great actress, and a belting voice. have you seen beast? she is so brilliant. she is really, really terrific in that. and lastly, best dvd. being frank, the chris sievey story. i know if you ever saw frank sidebottom play live... i had the great honour of sharing stage with frank sidebottom. this is chris sievey, who was a sort of brilliant sort of pop song composer who was in a great pop band that never got the recognition they deserve, and suddenly achieved unexpected fame as frank sidebottom, a character wearing a papier—mache head and talking as if he had a nose clip on his nose. and it's a really brilliantly made movie, because it has absolutely brilliant archive footage. it is made out of absolute love and affection for chris sievey, and the way this alter ego sort of became something he never expected it to be. i thought it was really moving and really touching. love it when you talk through your nose, mark. thank you very much! thank you very much. that is it for this week. thank you so much for watching. from both of us, goodbye.

good evening. we said farewell to storm hannah on saturday night, which meant sunday was the more clement day of the weekend for the vast majority, but it wasn't sunny everywhere. western areas had a lot of cloud and patchy rain, courtesy of a slow—moving weather front. it remains slow moving through tonight. cloud and patchy rain for northern ireland, southwest scotland, the isle of man, west wales, the far south—west, quite a mild night here. further east, a chilly night under clear spells. there could be a touch of frost in north—east england and eastern scotland. and some quite dense fog patches as well, some of which could be slow to clear, but they should, as we go through the morning. and then for many tomorrow, a fine day with spells of sunshine, the best of that across scotland, where temperatures in the north—west highlands could get up to 20 degrees. cooler in the west of northern ireland and the far south—west of england, still plagued by that slow—moving weather front, but that front will make progress eastwards slowly through the middle of the week, bringing a bit of rain and as it clears through, it will turn much cooler.

this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: early results in the spain's general election suggest that no party will be able to form a government on its own. meanwhile, a far—right party has won seats there for the first time since the 19705. prayers in the street in sri lanka as church services are cancelled a week after more than 250 people were killed in the easter sunday bombings. more prominent health warnings on packets of opioid painkillers due to growing concern over levels of addiction. and manchester city stand just two wins away from retaining their premier league title after they beat burnley1—0.
