crawling for 25 miles of it been crawling for 25 miles of it probably. but here she is, coming in at 18th. clearly an incredibly fit athlete that the toll this race ta kes athlete that the toll this race takes on people is not to be underestimated. the amazing thing which i didn't realise until i read the picture caption in the telegraph and good on them for mentioning it, hayley carruthers is a full—time nhs radiographer. as well as being able to runa radiographer. as well as being able to run a marathon at such an amazing pace, and you can see the toll that running so fast takes, she is also working in the health service full—time. i honestly do not have a clue how she manages to fit in the training. i haven't realised that so i'm glad you pointed it out. none of us are ever i'm glad you pointed it out. none of us are ever the likely to do it.” definitely won't be. it makes you feel incredibly inadequate in some ways but also just watching all these people running and looking at

how hard they work. it's really quite amazing when you look at the accomplishments that people feel as the huge crowds. even if they are two or six hours in terms of their finish time. a lot of people need sponsorship and i'm happyjust to hand my money over so i don't have to put my trainers on. finally, council drones to spy on home extensions. a lot of councils have experienced very strong cutbacks and when it comes to police and planning, planning applications and planning, planning applications and seeing what happens afterwards, this council in north yorkshire have applied to the civil aviation authority for permission to fly drones around and check on what people are building. there was a story a few years back about a man who built a house he hid behind some hay bales, and he was forced to drag it down afterwards. if you can get

someone it down afterwards. if you can get someone to fly a drone around, take photos and get someone back at council to look at maps and see what is going on, that could help. with house prices as they are, people are choosing as often as they can, it seems, to stay put rather than extend and move. exactly, one thing the drones might be able to do is establish the full extent of that, in north yorkshire at least. it shows how unregulated drones are, yet again, a planning officer can't knock on any door and examine the garden without you reason and yet in north yorkshire it appears they might be able to fly a drone over anyone's garden just to check. i think a lot of people will be a bit wary. i think there are some rules as to how close you can get to people's houses, but you can see a lot from high up. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later

on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, henry zeffman and dawn foster. that's it from all of us tonight. next on bbc news, it's 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 ia—year—olds? exactly. it's the end of middle school, and it stars elsie fisher is 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 which are very, very brilliant. and what this manages to show you the life of this 13—year—old, who is painfully anxious, who was 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. 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 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 and of infinity war, which has ended in disaster, and the beginning of the film is sombre in tone. actually differently 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 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 enough to be moved to tears in places. 0k, 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 julianna 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 isjulianne moore. they wantjulianne moore to sing for them. she won't play ball. here's a clip. 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 trauma 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—90s. 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. the weekend ended on a

pretty decent note across many parts of the uk, and it is quite a quiet start to the new working week, with lots of dry weather to come through tomorrow. we will see rain spreading slowly eastwards over the next few days, some fog patches to contend with. it turns warmer for a time, but just for with. it turns warmer for a time, butjust for a time. with. it turns warmer for a time, but just for a time. this with. it turns warmer for a time, butjust for a time. this is how things shake up through the rest of the night into tomorrow. cloud and outbreaks of rain into the west, a slow—moving weather front not making much progress, retreating with westwards a cross much progress, retreating with westwards across northern ireland. some spells of sunshine, temperatures in the mid to high teens, maybe 19 degrees in the north—west highlands of scotland. as we go through tomorrow night, monday night into the early hours of tuesday, some mist and fog patches developing and eastern areas. at west it looks like we will see more in the way of wet weather pushing

into northern ireland by the end of the night. some of this rain on the heavy side. that rain will slowly spread eastwards through tuesday and wednesday, warming up ahead of that rain band, but behind it it will turn much coolerfor rain band, but behind it it will turn much cooler for the end rain band, but behind it it will turn much coolerfor the end of rain band, but behind it it will turn much cooler for the end of the week. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore, the headlines: sri lankans unite in grief a week after the easter sunday attacks. prayers in the street for the 250 victims of islamist extremists. here they are spouse kind humanity. the very notion expressed by the bombers. aid workers in mozambique say they're struggling to reach thousands affected by cyclone kenneth as floodwaters continue to rise. i'm kasia madera in london.
