a historic domestic treble. theresa may is preparing to make what is being described as a ‘bold offer‘ to mps, in a final attempt to get her beleaguered brexit deal through parliament and onto the statute book before she leaves office. ministers will begin discussions on monday on a package of measures to be included in the forthcoming withdrawal agreement bill, aimed at securing cross—party support. the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, says to break the brexit impasse, the government should commit to another referendum in the bill. our political correspondent ben wright has this report.

a forlorn campaign launch on friday for european elections theresa may didn't want to happen. next thursday, we will be holding european elections. but soldiering on, she now that says she will ask mps to vote on a new and improved brexit plan. on tuesday, the cabinet will discuss changes to the brexit will discuss changes to the brexit will she hopes will win over labour mps despite the collapse across party talks yesterday and theresa may will make a speech on her strategy later in the week. but power is draining from the prime minister and tory critics say any changes to the bill would be meaningless. you can watch the movie titanic hundreds of times but i'm afraid the ship sinks every time. so if you are going to bring back the deal and it still has the backstop unit than the dpr is going to supported and now an increasing number of conservative mps, even those who voted for it for the second or third time, are saying, enough is enough. —— the dp.

second or third time, are saying, enough is enough. —— the dpw second or third time, are saying, enough is enough. -- the dp. it is this man giving conservatives nightmares was upper pole is saying the wrecks that party is set to do very well in the european elections on thursday. —— polls are saying. yesterday, jeremy corbyn said labour will consider any new plans coming through. but they are insisting number ten must bring in another referendum. we do need to break the impasse and one way to do that is for the government to put forward a public vote on the bill it proposes to put forward in a few weeks time. and with the unofficial contest to replace theresa may already revving up, the prime minister's promise of a bold next move to break the deadlock seems optimistic and very late in the day.

australia's conservative government has pulled off a surprise victory in the country's general election to remain in office. exit polls had suggested a narrow victory for the opposition labor party for the first time in 6 years. in the end, prime minister, scott morrison's party edged ahead, prompting the leader of the opposition, bill shorten, to resign. earlier scott morrison thanked the voters. it's always been for those of you watching this at home tonight, for me and for my government, for all of my team, it's all about you. tonight is not about me or it's not about even the liberal party. tonight is about every single australian who depends on the government to put them first. cheering and applause. and so, friends, that is exactly what we're going to do. our government will come together after this night and we will get back to workjust as glad

as they did in new south wales. just a few months ago. and that is our task and that is my undertaking to australians from one end of the country to the other. i said that i was going to burn for you and i am, every single day. our correspondent, hywel griffith, is in sydney for us and gave us this update. the gap in the polls was always tight, down to about 1—2%. however, scott morrison and the government we re scott morrison and the government were on the wrong side of that. they trailed behind labour for 2.5 were on the wrong side of that. they trailed behind labourfor 2.5 years. scott morrison is known for being a pentecostal christian and has spoken about his face —— faith and the values he was to protect in australia but on that stage behind me, they are rapidly dismantling it now, he spoke about the miracle that had been delivered here in sydney

tonight. labour had a broader climate change action plan. we were told it was the number one issue for voters will stop it seems and particularly places like rural queensland where the coal industry is still huge and dominant, that the majority of voters didn't get behind it. they wanted to go with the status quo. they wanted to go with scott morrison's argument that the economy was the key. austria has announced snap elections after the deputy chancellor, heinz christian strache, resigned. it follows he emergence of a video in which the leader of the far right freedom party apparently promised public contracts in exchange for campaign support before the general election 2 years ago. mr strache complained he was the victim of political targeting. mr strache addressed reporters earlier where he apologised for his behaviour and

announced his resignation. translation: today at 11am, translation: today at "am, i had a conversation with sebastian kurz and i offered my resignation and he accepted this decision. i am doing this in my responsibility for this project, to prevent any further damage to my family because that is the most important thing in life, my party and my office. the austrian chancellor sebastian kurz says he can no longer govern in coalition with the freedom party. translation: i have nonetheless stayed, not attending the coalition over the first misconduct but after yesterday's video i must say honestly, enough is enough. also if the methods to me are curly contemptible, the content is just what it is. —— clearly intangible. the name call allegations. a man has died after a fight

in a street in rochdale last night. he's believed to be in his early twenties. greater manchester police say a woman, who's 25, has been arrested in connection with the murder investigation. two migrant boats have been intercepted off the south coast of england. the home office says border force intercepted the first boat carrying 11 men across the channel. in a separate incident, kent police received a call from a vessel in danger south of folkestone. nine people, including men, women and a 12—year—old child were rescued and brought to dover. they are all believed to be a mixture of iranian and iraqi national. the us has warned that commercial airliners flying over the persian gulf face a risk of being "misidentified" amid heightened tensions between washington and tehran. in recent days, the us has deployed warships to the gulf and withdrawn diplomatic staff from iraq over what it describes as iranian threats. iran's foreign minister, mohammad javad zarif, told local media that he does not believe a war will break out in the region. tensions have been rising after the us‘s withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal last year.

the partner of murdered journalist lyra mckee has made a public plea for same—sex marriage in northern ireland. sara canning told the crowds gathered outside city hall for the rainbow rally that a law change would be a win for everyone. ms mckee, a 29—year—old journalist and author, was shot dead by dissident republicans as she observed rioting in londonderry last month. the differences made, and the rights not extended to same—sex couples is not acceptable. it is not fair, it is not right and it's an affront to us as individuals, as couples, as families. to our love, to our loved ones and our children, we pay our taxes, we are governed by the same law, we love deeply and we love dearly. should we not be afforded the same rights in marriage? the duke of cambridge has spoken about the pressure of working as an air ambulance pilot and the strain it placed on his mental health.

in a bbc documentary, he says he was left with the feeling that death was always around the corner. prince william also said that losing his mother, diana, princess of wales, when he was a child, was a pain like no other. andy moore reports. he is the man who will be king, and his voice carries when he decides to take up a particular issue, in this case mental health. we have got to relax a little bit and be able to talk about our emotions because we are not robots. in this documentary, prince william sits in a changing room and discusses the issue with stars of the footballing world. he speaks candidly about the enormous grief he suffered when his mother, princess diana, died in a car crash in 1997. he was just 15. i think when you are bereaved at a very young age, any time really, but particularly at a young age, i can resonate closely to that, you feel pain like no other pain, and you know within your life it is going to be very difficult to come across something that is going to be even worse pain than that but it also brings you so close to all those other

people out there who have been bereaved. england and spurs defender danny rose was praised by the prince when he spoke publicly about his depression, but some people were not so understanding. in the summer, i was speaking to another club, and they said, the club would like to meet you, "just to check you are not crazy." because of what you said? yeah, because of what i had said and what i had been through. prince william spoke about the stress of his formerjob as an air ambulance pilot. he said he sometimes found it very difficult to deal with his feelings. in some cases, very raw emotional day to day stuff where you're dealing with families who are having the worst news they could ever possibly have, on a day—to—day basis. it leaves you with a very depressing, very negative feeling where you think, death is just around the door everywhere i go. that is quite a burden to carry and feel. prince william says the best way to share that burden is to be honest and talk openly about the mental health issues that all of us experience. andy moore, bbc news.

earlier i spoke tojosh connolly, a mental health campaigner who has had to overcome his own mental health struggles. i think it's great to hear people of that stature talking about their emotions and feelings, the way that these guys are doing. i do think it's going to be paramount to breaking down the walls of stigma. certainly for me, it really resonates when he talks about losing his mum and the pain it caused. that caused you problems as a child? my dad was an alcoholic and i lost him when i was nine years old. but quickly i thought that as a boy and then as a young man i wasn't supposed to struggle with it, and i thought that mental health struggles were something that happened to other people. and i never knew that i was allowed to struggle, particularly as a man

in the way that i did. what i found is that being open about it now has really helped me to come to terms with some of the ways that i feel. i feel there's a lot of awareness now, isn't there, about mental health because it's becoming such a huge issue, is it men who find it particularly difficult to talk about their mental health issues? well, i think it's two fold, we find it more difficult to communicate in general, not just to talk about it but we struggle to hear each other when we talk about our emotions too. when i was struggling, if i communicated it to other men, men often didn't know how to react. i do find it twofold. we find it difficult. for a long time there was a perception that as men we were supposed to be strong and rise above it and to be the providers and the protectors and all that kind of stuff, that social construct goes against struggling in the way

that people are and the way i can add still do in my life. how did you get through it? for me, i reached the point where i found i didn't want to be here anymore and i made an honest decision. it felt like an honest and noble decision at the time, to take my own life. but i had an experience with my children and i changed my mind. but from there, i had to completely strip myself back and almost had to come out to everybody and admit that i wasn't the character and the man that i was portraying and that actually i was someone who was struggling, struggling with the ways that i felt, and that i needed help. and for me, one of the best things i've done and continue to do is reach out for and accept help. you can see more of that interview with the duke of cambridge in the documentary — ‘a royal team talk: tackling mental health‘ — which will be broadcast on bbc one,

tomorrow night at 10—30. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may prepares to make a ‘bold offer‘ to mps in a final attempt to get her brexit deal through parliament. australian prime minister scott morrison claims victory for his centre—right coalition government — in a shock result at the country's federal polls. the austrian chancellor calls a snap election hours after his far—right deputy resigns over corruption allegations. sport and time for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. good evening. a fantastic day for manchester city. they have become the first team to achieve the feat of winning the fa cup and league cup and premier league in the same season. they did it in incredible fashion, beating watford 6—0 in today's fa

cup final at wembley — for the biggest win in this fixture for 116 years. craig templeton reports. the old wembley was the sides of pep guardiola's finest hour as a player, could a new one be where his team when is an historic trouble? but watford fit in their first cup final in 35 years looked to provide a sting in the tail. here is the chance. he understands the importance of taking your chances. that is what the city do. when david silva was given an opportunity he took it. david silva with the chance! and when his namesake bernardo was allowed space, it looked like raheem sterling had printed. but the goal belong to gabrieljesus. kevin de bruyne for manchester city! but they were not done yet. there was no doubt that gabrieljesus was the score of this

one. and then raheem sterling, who grew up in the shadow of wembley, scored not only on, but two goals for the biggest cup final win since 1903. so six goals, three domestic trophies, history made. craig templeton, bbc news. of course it was an incredible final for us, not for watford, because the end result is what it is. we finished an incredible year for us. for the organisation, the people, congratulations. especially for the players, of course, because they are the reason why we won this title. it starts with the manager. we set the standard at the start of the season and we said we wanted to go back to back. it is the group, a talented young players. you need quality and that's why we did it. in the scottish premiership, st mirren have won back to back league games for the first time this season but they will still face a play—off to stay in the top division. st mirren beat already—relegated dundee 3—2, but hamilton's 2—0 win at home to stjohnstone means

st mirren finish second from bottom and will now face dundee united in the play—off final. motherwell completed their season with a 3—2 win at home to livingston. he may not have quite hit the majestic heights of the last two days, but the united states' brooks koepka is still well in control of the second major of the year — the uspga in new york. koepka started the day with a 7—stroke lead after compiling the lowest 36 hole score in major championship history. he produced more of the same with two birdies on the front nine. despite bogeys at the ninth and tenth koepka is still five shots clear of his countryman luke list. matt wallace is the highest placed briton on li—under par. northampton clinched fourth place and the final play off spot in rugby union's premiership despite losing 110—21 to top of the table exeter. harlequins were within a whisker of snatching fourth place but missed a last minute long—range penalty. they were beaten 27—25 by wasps

as ben croucher reports. trying to keep track of the various fermentations at the end of the seasonis fermentations at the end of the season is enough to make anybody a bit dizzy. luckily, northampton's helter—skelter season was in their hands, while beating exeter, at least. an early lead certainly help. they went to guarantee a top four finish disappeared. northampton fell behind when matt emerged from a quick game of hide and seek with the ball. dave dennis further pushed the chiefs clear. the saints could march no further. luke cowan—dickie confirmed their faith, no further. luke cowan—dickie confirmed theirfaith, beaten no further. luke cowan—dickie confirmed their faith, beaten 40—21. all this meant harlequins went to the party. only for theirfinale all this meant harlequins went to the party. only for their finale to have a sting in the tail. the first from josh bassett may not have been too painful, especially when you

have joe marcha nt too painful, especially when you have joe marchant your side. impressed, eddie? once a wasp has stung you, though, they can always come back and deliver more pain. joe simpson not once but twice evading the backplane to maintain their own fate hopes of champions cup rugby next season. staggering but struggling, queens were falling short. but hang on, somewhere in there was ali ali. putting the queens within touching distance of a top fourfinish. as queens within touching distance of a top four finish. as this rollercoaster campaign ticked through james laing had rollercoaster campaign ticked throuthames laing had the chance to win it. that close. nine months, 22 matches, 1762 minutes and it all came down to a matter of inches. enough to put your head in a spin. ben cutting, bbc news. —— benat crouch hill.

defending champions leinster will face glasgow in the pro14 final after beating irish rivals munster 211—9. while ospreys won their champions cup qualification match against the scarlets 21—10. johanna konta has become the first british woman to reach the final of the italian open in 48 years. the british number one came from behind to beat the netherlands kiki bertens in three sets. konta will play karolina pliskova in tomorrow's final. i've never really doubted my ability on this surface. i don't necessarily feel like this is massively out of the blue. double olympic taekwondo champion jadejones has added a world championships title to her long list of achievements after taking gold in manchester this evening. she was fairly comfortable in beating the defending champion ah—reum lee of south korea 14—7 in the under 57 kilogram final. the 26—year—old completes the set, adding to the bronze and silver medals she'd won at previous world championships. that's all the sport for now. the rest of the day's stories in the

late finish to the golf available at the bbc sport website. thank you. just a reminder there won't be a paper review at 11:30 but let's have a quick look at some of the front pages. the observer's front page talks of labour's fears that the party's ambiguous stance on brexit could hand votes to the lib dems in the upcoming european elections. the sunday times says tory heavyweights are calling for a return to the "centre ground" in party politics. with michael heseltine saying he won't vote for the conservatives because of the party's position on brexit. the sunday telegraph claims theresa may blocked ministers from proposing a new law that could have protected northern ireland veterans from facing murder charges from the troubles. the sunday express says britain believes nigel farage is best placed to lead brexit negotiations, according to a poll done for the paper. and the mail on sunday makes claims against the labour mp geoffrey robinson — allegations that the paper makes clear he strenuously denies. thousands of women with down syndrome, who are going

through the menopause, might not be getting the help they need because health professionals often overlook their symptoms. the down syndrome association warns that emotional symptoms are sometimes written of as challenging behaviour caused by a learning disability. jayne mccubbin has been to find out more. right, ladies. what do you all know about menopause? it's the change. the change. it's something what men don't have to go through. there's a reason it's been given to women — because we can cope. sorry, man in the room! i'm here to be abused — it's fine! this is the award—winning cafe leap in leeds. it's run for and by people with learning disabilities. but this session is to help women prepare and go through the change. feeling sad and tearful, depressed, forgetting things. you can get angry. i get quite tearful. you can get quite tearful sometimes. you've got lots of support here.

we're all sisters. should we do a group hug? it's something, susan, every woman sat in this table is going to go through, sweetheart. my name is susan hanley and i am 54 years old and i'm going through the menopause. susan is the chair of cafe leap and has had a tough time coping with some of the worst of the symptoms. what do you fancy? but this is where she comes for advice and support and essential tea and cake. a woman needs her cake. nice. not bad. becky told me you were a bit scared at first. i was a bit scared. i wasn't sure what i was going through. you weren't sure what was happening. i could get really low but i try to pick up myself. that's all you can do, really. the down syndrome society tell us

too many women like susan get late diagnosis and delayed support because symptoms are too often missed by gps. women with down syndrome, they tend to go through the menopause earlier than the majority so the majority, they tend to say it's 50—plus, whereas with down syndrome, it can be in your early 40s. and there is another reason symptoms can be missed as well. it's called diagnostic overshadowing. often that is when someone is classed as having challenging behaviour, for example, or they're having an emotional outburst. so gps or medical professionals will miss an underlying medical problem because theyjust haven't taken the time to see beyond the learning disability? yeah. for some reason, it never seems to get picked up as menopause. please, doctors, nurses, whatever, please help us. don't use long words.

don't talkjargon. don't hold it in. get it all out, out of your system. you'll feel great in yourself. one third of women will fly through the menopause, one third will manage the symptoms, but another third will find it hard and women with learning difficulties might need that bit extra help to make sense of what is happening. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. the queen and prince philip were among the guests at the wedding of lady gabriella windsor and thomas kingston. lady gabriella is the daughter of the queen's cousin, prince michael of kent. it was the third royal wedding to be held at windsor castle's st george's chapel in less than a year. the duke of sussex attended without his wife meghan, duchess of sussex, or their son archie who was born earlier this month. an ‘extremely rare' roman coin has been found during work to upgrade the a14 between cambridge and huntingdon. it dates from around 269 ad, and it was minted for an ill—fated emperor ulpius cornelius laelianus,

who was killed after reigning for two months. it's believed to be only the second of its kind to be found in england. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello there. it has been a much cooler day today across northern ireland and scotland. the essays got me had temperatures into the low 20s. they have been struggling underneath a thick layer of cloud. we also had outbreaks of rain around as well. the radar picture picking up as well. the radar picture picking up that wet weather. further south as we have seen heavy showers breakout across central and eastern parts of england. some of the showers have been quite heavy. with the clouds looking like this through the clouds looking like this through the course of the afternoon across parts of oxfordshire. looking at the weather overnight, most of the showers across england and wales will fade away and we will be left with dry weather, clearing skies, some mist and fog patches, especially the east midlands, east anglia. more on the way for cloud

for northern ireland and scotland where they will continue to be some patches of rain running through from time to time. another cold night. temperature 6— 10 celsius. for sunday, quite a cloudy day. they are breaking to give some sunny intervals but heavy showers particularly arriving as we had into the afternoon. for many areas it is a cloudy start of the day. rain still pestering parts of northern ireland and some showers going into western scotland. it is later on in the day we will see they shower clouds really grow and become heavy and potentially thundery as well. most of the showers and scotland across eastern areas and over the high ground as well. some of the showers will be quite slow—moving. given more sunshine it feels warmer, temperatures up to 16 degrees. similar in northern ireland with a risk of cells as well then we will have a line of slow—moving downpours across some central and eastern areas of england. these bringing some hefty downpours late in the day. looking at the weather peaked in the next few days, as we start

the week we will see a mixture of seoung joung oh jobs continuing. showers continue to be slow—moving. later in the week it turns windier and we may see low pressure move in by the end of the week to threaten rain. monday, largely tried to start the day. loud breaking to give spells of sunshine. —— largely dry. some of the showers will be quite intense. temperatures coming up a little bit. highs of 17 in edinburgh and 19 encarta. showers to start off the week. it will turn breezy with the week. it will turn breezy with the threat of some rain for some of us. that is your weather.

hello this is bbc news with chris rogers. the headlines: theresa may prepares to make a ‘bold offer‘ to mps

in a final attempt to get her brexit deal through parliament. australian prime minister, scott morrison, claims victory for his centre—right coalition government — in a shock result at the country's federal polls. tonight is not about me or it's not about even the liberal party. tonight about every single australian who depends on their government to put them first. the austrian chancellor calls a snap election hours after his far—right deputy resigns over corruption allegations. and manchester city storm to victory in the fa cup final, thrashing watford 6—0 to complete a historic domestic treble. now, in place of our usual paper review at this time, we're going to the travel show. this week, on the travel show. a new look at lady liberty. this is incredible. we've got it all to ourselves.

and going off grid on the coast of norway. we came around the point here, we turned off the engine and i said, "well, this is it. "this is the place." our dreams became reality. this week, i am in the usa's biggest, most iconic city, new york were a very special lady has been

making headlines. a brand—new museum dedicated to the statue of liberty opened its doors this past week and the travel show was lucky enough to see inside just as they finished work on it. as they're putting the finishing touches to the museum, we're only allowed to go in very, very early in the morning so i was up at 5am to catch the ferry, the very first boat of the day to leave for liberty island hours before the arrival of the public. liberty island receives nearly 11.5 million visitors each year. on a busy day, as many as 25,000 people come over and right now, we've got it all to ourselves. this is incredible.

wow, i've never seen the statue this close before. definitely worth the ungodly wake—up call. until recently, visitors that wanted to learn more about the statue's history were directed to an exhibit in its place at the space was so limited, only a few people actually got to see it. that's all set to change with the opening of the new museum. oh, it's dramatically better. it'll be a whole new experience for people who have been here before to the other museum.

the primary thinking behind the structure is that we not compete with the statue of liberty, that we have a really attractive building but that all eyes are still on lady liberty. can we go inside? let's go inside, come on. there are three primary areas of the museum. people come in, they will go into the immersive theatre and then they will move on to the engagement gallery which is where we are standing right now and the engagement gallery is primarily the history of the statue of liberty. its beginning, and then how it became a symbol of america. and now it's used in every sort of thing that you can think of. the museum takes people all the way back to the statue's creation. it was designed by frederic august bartholdi, who built it in his paris workshop.

the statue marked 100 years since the declaration of independence and the historic alliance between america and france. in 1885, it was shipped in 350 individual pieces over to new york where it was reassembled and unveiled to the american public next year. and then you finish with the inspiration gallery. now for the piece de resistance, the original torch. the torch. wow. it stood up there from 1886 until 1984. the original torch had been changed from bartholdi's design to include a glass panel frame that could be lit up night. in the 1980s, it was removed and replaced during a massive restoration of the statue. can you tell us how difficult it was to get the torch in here.

well, i didn't have to do it but it was quite a task. people worked for about two weeks, from 3:00 in the afternoon until 3:00 at night. and they had this carrier that they laid the face on its back, and then put the torch on it. we had not put in all the glass here, so that could lift quite nicely into its position, and it all worked quite well. and here it is. martin and his team have been in charge of conserving the torch and cleaning it up. well, today is the last day, it's sort of the clean down from the top down and so as they are finishing up the lighting fixtures inside, myjob is then to find a clean down of everything that falls down. it's just a simple cotton cloth to try to get the heavy things out. just getting rid of that dirt. like any cleaning job,

it's never done. i think it's really quite impressive just how much detail there is for something that really wasn't designed to be seen close—up. the detail is so intricate. it's pretty amazing how it all comes together, part to part, piece to piece and all of a sudden, you've got a torch. it's so iconic and you think about its history and how it stood for freedom and for liberty to people all over the world. it really is a remarkable piece of work. and the museum has now opened its doors. entry is free to all visitors of liberty island.

and to wrap up this week, we're off to western norway, home of the fjords. these long narrow bands of sea can stretch to more than 200 kilometres long, and tourists come here to soak up some of europe's most stunning scenery. the furthest west you can travel in norway is to a region called solund, an area made up of more than 1700 islands, we went there to meet a man that has lived on one of these islands for two decades, all on his own. the house here on the island was in very bad shape. then we went on to study the old original building construction, that means axe, saw, drill, hand drills, and things like that. from the very beginning,

now we have six or seven buildings here and it has now taken me 20 years, to get the money to do it, to buy the materials, but also the time to really do the work. living here alone, it has been pretty tough sometimes. because you have to rely on yourself all the time. although i am alone, i'm not lonely, i will say that. the postal boat brings people, post, tourists, locals, around the islands. it's kind of a shuttle. friends and neighbours come around and visit me and make me feel that i'm in a connection with the area and the community here. we want to try to

document some parts of the old traditions. it's important to me to preserve these old boats and bring them to the next generation. that's how cultural heritage is evolved. this is the farm, it's the place where i teach my students during the summer camps, and we have rope work and we do handcraft, and some good meals inside here. i think that it will give them an understanding that we are part of a connection. a connection with culture, and also a connection to nature and to the elements around us.

and i'm afraid that's your lot for this week, butjoin us next week when: cat's in the high atlas mountains of morocco, living the berber life as part of a women's only expedition. and i head up town to the bronx to try my hand at the street sport that has entertained generations of new yorkers. grab a stick right here for you, there's one right there. there's no pressure at all... i got this! ..well, there's a little bit of pressure. that's good. there you go, run it out! run it out! let go of the bat! and don't forget to follow us on social media for extra travel show content. but for now, from me, lucy hedges,

and the rest of the travel show team, here in the big apple, it's goodbye. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may is expected to make a bold offer to mps in a last bid to get her brexit bill through parliament. australia's conservative government claims a shock result in the country's federal polls. the austrian chancellor calls a snap election hours after his far right deputy resigns over corruption allegations. now on bbc news, the film review.

hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. what do we have this week? we have "john wick 3: parabellum". keanu reeves prepares for war. birds of passage, a very impressive drama from columbia. and beats, a return to ‘90s rave culture. so why‘s it called "parabellum"? because if you want peace, prepare for war. and most of what happens in thejohn wick movies is fighting. this picks up — have you followed the first two movies? no. this picks up at the end of the second one, where he's about to be excommunicated from the secret society of killers, which once he is, everybody will be trying to kill him, and there's a $14 million price tag on his head. he can't trust anyone except his dog. here is a fairly low—key clip from the film, and it's one of the very few low—key moments.

new york public library. you got it. change of plan. the continental. can you see that he's received by the concierge? yes sir, mr wick. good dog. so he gets the dog to safety so that he can engage in the main business of the film, which is fighting two, three, ten, 20 people at a time. sometimes in a library attacking them with books, and sometimes in a moroccan bazaar,

in which dogs are involved. sometimes in a glass office entirely filled with glass cases, entirely filled with glasses skulls into which people can be smashed at regular intervals. and the interesting thing is — it's very violent but in a movie—violence kind of way. at one point there is an image of harold lloyd. and actually it's like that kind of harold lloyd slapstick, its physical performance. some people are sniffy about keanu reeves‘ acting, but he's a great physical actor — if you look at things like the matrix. the fight sequences are choreographed like a hollywood musical. if you ever saw the raid, it's the same — it's like watching a musical dance number that happens to involve the fighting. the same way that sam raimi made the evil dead — he said, "it's not a horror movie, it's a three stooges movie with blood and guts standing in for custard pies." and although it's a film that's full of destruction, it's cinematic, stylised destruction. i must say, i think it was really good fun.

be honest, do you get bored of that kind of violence? i did not. in the previousjohn wicks, i have not enjoyed them as much. in the case of the matrix — which started at this really high point and tailed off — i actually enjoyed this the most. there's a couple of lulls, a couple of moments where you think you're getting exhausted with the sheer levels of fighting. but actually, one of the things i like about it is it takes its physicality very seriously. they play out in quite long shots. i like martial arts movies anyway, and i like the attention to detail. i like good fighting. i struggle to think of another movie which involved "death by book". it's interesting — there's kung fu, horse—fu, and dog—fu. so it's all the forms of fighting you can imagine. and book—fu?

there you go. ok, birds of passage — about the colombian drug trade? a terrific drama from the makers of embrace of the serpent. it's a film with the epic sweep of the godfather, but also — as with embrace of the serpent — it's about indigenous people. it's about how the emerging drug trade changes the lives of the people in northern columbia. it starts with a young man who's asked for somebody‘s with their hand in marriage and told he needs to get the dowry, by which he sells marijuana and discovers he can make a lot of money doing it. but with that wealth comes change, and everything comes at a price. the brilliant thing is it's almost like a tone poem. it has a narrative, but as you watch it, the tones of the film — there's an earthy, natural tone at the beginning, with bright and very vibrant colors. but as the film goes on, those are kind of replaced by garish polyester shirts, the glint of guns, and the sound of gunfire. it's also a film the opens and closes with song. there's a singing shepherd that is singing the story trying to remember this cultural story. much as i was talking before aboutjohn wick owing a debt to musicals, this has a brilliant soundtrack that seeps up from the ground.

it's really rich and a really richly textured film, and you can see it as a drama about the two people, or about extended family — or you can see it as a wider story about a country changing during this period. it's dark, and it is about the culture being lost, but i thought it was really — i think you'll like it. it's a really smart film. it's on my list already. now, beats — 1994, rave culture. were you a raver? no. me neither. laughter. school disco, does that count? well, i don't dance at all. it's about two teenagers in 1994 having one last rave—y hurrah before life takes them different ways. timing is very important because 1994 was the criminaljustice act that sought to outlaw illegal raves

and referring specifically to impromptu meetings featuring music that consisted of "a succession of repetitive beats". that's how the law defined it. let's have a clip. to be governed is to be at every operation, noted, registered, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, authorised, admonished, prevented, forbidden corrected, watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked. in other words, listeners, sisters, brothers — they want us to get in line, but we won't cover the one is to be afraid of each other but we are not. we are better than this. the only good system is a sound system, and if i can't dance to it, it's not my revolution.

this is my revolution, listeners. this one... i dearly hope you will make it yours too. join us. wendy! oi—oi! here, drink that. try to keep it together, all right? right. it's adapted from a stage play and being rewritten by the author, and i thought it was impressively done — not least because i know nothing about rave culture and nothing about the music. i've never been to a rave, but what the film manages to do is — as with birds of passage, it's a love story about these friends that will be torn apart. and on the other hand, it's a wider thing about the changing political landscape.

what it does is it manages to show you what's attractive about the rave. you saw that was in black—and—white — there's a section when the music takes over it and goes into this explosion of colour, which reminded me of the hallucinogenic sequences from the ken russel‘s film, altered states, which i love. and it also has the grit of a shane meadows film — you believe in the characters and their lives, they‘ re really well played. and also had something to do with — it's set at the end of — 1994 is the dog end of rave culture. so it has that melancholia of withnail & i. it's really well done and very affectionate. like i said, people who know anything about rave culture say it's spot—on in terms of its detail. for me, as someone that was outside of that — the criminaljustice act of 1994 actually amped up the video recordings act, which if you are a horror movie fan, was a big deal. this was very well directed.

it is all in black—and—white? it is, except when they are in the — when the music is playing in the rave, it suddenly goes into this explosion. it's really great because — for the first time, i understood the music. i thought, "ok, i get it". it does notjust sound like, to quote the law, "a succession of repetitive beats", it's something much more ecstatic than that. best out? there is a re—issue of dr strangelove — we talked about a clockwork orange being back out in cinemas. there's a kubrick retrospective at the british film institute, there's an exhibition on at the design museum. dr strangelove's a satire about the end of the world and insanity of nuclear weapons, and the madness of international politics. made in 1964? it stars peter sellers in many roles and it's — i think it's really great black comedy. it has one of the best comedy lines of any film ever, which is, "gentlemen, you can't fight here, this is the war room". but it's a really terrific movie. does it have anything to say about today's world at all? worryingly so.

that's always terrifying. you look back at it and say, "wow, that is relevant". the design of the film is brilliant. best dvd? i like mary, queen of scots. i'm a fan of the movie, it didn't get universally good reviews. it's got great performances by margot robbie and saoirse ronan, and it has great directing. aside from one sequence that feels theatrical, it's really cinematic and has a really lovely score by max richter. you know how a great film score can really lift the drama ? it was one of those things that i thought the score was very subtly filling in so much detail. i thought it was a really good piece of work. my editor who studied history was very cross because elizabeth meets mary, and that never happened. that is the one scene that's very theatrical. they meet in what appears to be a laundry in the middle of nowhere. like a laundrette? it's like an ancient laundrette, they're wafting between sheets. i know many historians are very cross about that, but that's the one scene that strikes a wrong note. artistic license. thank you very much, indeed. good to see you.

that's it for this week, thank you so much for watching, and it's goodbye from both of us. hello there. we have had real contrast weather wise across the uk today. across northern ireland and scotla nd today. across northern ireland and scotland the skies look like this for much of the day, cloudy, grey, wet, disappointing, quite cool as well. further south, the weather brightened up for a time. we saw big shower clouds grew up between central and eastern parts of england, one or two across the south of wales as well. some patches of rain on the radar, affecting scotla nd rain on the radar, affecting scotland and northern ireland. most showers have cleared away from england and wales. the exception is coastal parts of kent. otherwise it becomes dry for many overnight. it will be quite murky, fog patches continue to affect the east coast of scotland, of the hills of northern
