for theresa may free tv licences and for theresa may to spend more money which she doesn't have. so she can preserve his legacy. what do you make of this? the fact that it will be taken away? this? the fact that it will be taken 7 i this? the fact that it will be taken away? i think the point is the bbc is saying it is going to be away? i think the point is the bbc is saying it is going to he means tested. i cannot really see any big problem on that. it is very unpopular. i am not far off, you know. i think the country has bigger problems, next spring, when the chancellor... it is ultimate now. they have changed that. is that after the brexit deadline. it could be october. we have more on our plate. neither review our spring chickens. i think we fizzled out.

that's it for the papers tonight. i hope you have a great evening. a great week ahead. don't forget all the front pages are on line. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 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, john rentoul and ruth lea. and from us all, goodnight. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. and to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. lovely to see you. what have you been watching?

a big week. we have yesterday, which is the new film by danny boyle and writer richard curtis, apollo 11, an extraordinary document, and support the girls, a tale of a day in the life at work. and look, i go away for seven months and you haven't given me a horror film to watch this week. no, i know. i'm really sorry. you're going soft in your old age. iam. i will get you one for next week. let's start off with yesterday, you must have seen the posters and the trailers. himesh patel is in star making form as jack malik, who, following a global blackout, 12 seconds, he's hit by a bus during the blackout, when he wakes up he is the only person who remembers the beatles. the beatles no longer exist. he goes on google, they don't exist, they didn't happen. and after initial period of befuddlement, he realises his unsuccessful career as a singer

songwriter can suddenly he revitalised by the fact he knows this incredible catalogue of songs that nobody has heard before. so suddenly he has the best song book in the world in his head and this is the answer to everything, except not everybody recognises genius when they see it, not least his parents. here's a clip. it's terry! terry. terry, hey. jack'sjust playing us a new song. what's this one called? leave it be. let it be. 0h, excellent. well, rock on, jack. # when i find myself in times of trouble... would you like a drink, terry? dad! what? i'd already heard that bit. i'll get a beer, please... carry on, jacko. i'll be back. hurry it up, darling, you're losing the crowd. 0k. # when i find myself in times of trouble, mother mary... phone rings. hello, love, i'm just listening to jack's new song, let him be. let it be! let it be. listen, i'll call you back when it's over, all right. carry on broadcasting, young man. maybe start after the first bit.

i've heard it three times. christ, this is let it be! you're the first people on earth to hear this song! doorbell rings. ooh, that will be marge. well, that went well. oh, that's good coffee. laughter. you see, i havejust laughed all the way through that. exactly. i don't think i've ever heard you laugh so much during a clip as that. here's the thing, i mean, so it's directed by danny boyle but it's written by richard curtis. i'm a real suckerfor richard curtis anyway. so this is, in some ways, the best—directed richard curtis film you will ever see, because danny boyle... you were literally crying with laughter! i did laugh out loud in the cinema when i saw the trailer. a few people did look at me. what's really lovely is it is one of those what if set ups, what if you were the only person who remembered the beatles? and what i think the film does is, as soon as you start to think about the logistics of it you go, ok, hang on, that doesn't work and that doesn't work.

in the third act there is a particularly problematic scene, the whole of which could have come out and i don't care. the reason i don't care is i was doing exactly what you were doing. i was laughing and smiling and actually crying pretty much all the way through. i think himesh patel is terrific and it's a real star—making performance. i think that it's one of those films in which you go with it, you absolutely go with it. and i think it's got that lovely thing where we all know that richard curtis loves pop music and we know that danny boyle, when you look at his films, he really understands understands the way that pop music works in a film. and what this manages to do is to say, look, let's just go with this idea. there's a lovely, it's not even a cameo, there's a role by ed sheeran playing ed sheeran. i laughed at that bit! i think he's really funny, because he's really self—deprecating. it's quite hard — a lot of people have talked about playing yourself in a cameo role is very difficult. gordon ramsay famously failing to play gordon ramsay in that film love's kitchen. i thought in this that ed sheeran

was actually very funny as this kind of buffoonish version of himself. but ijust laughed and smiled. if what you want is something that will lift you up and send you out with a spring in your step, this is it. this absolutely does what it says on the packet i thought it was... i loved it. i don't care about any of the things that are wrong with it. terrific, terrific. you've sold it to anybody watching. talk to us about apollo. apollo 11. so the 50th anniversary of the moon landing coming up injuly. and this is a documentary about that extraordinary mission. i talked before about the feature film first man isn't really about going to the moon, it's about grief and loneliness. this really is about going to the moon. it's about a lot of other things as well but it is about going to the moon. we don't have modern—day interviews. what it is is it's archive footage, brilliantly edited, i mean the colours are vivid as well, put together in a way that makes you think that you're actually watching this play out as if it's happening now. i don't know about you, but i am still in awe of the fact that people went to the moon

in what was essentially a tin can. a tin can, yes. like really a tin can! quite terrifying, isn't it? what this documentary did was remind me of that sense of awe. it has a fantastic soundtrack. a brilliant score by matt morton, which is this kind of throbbing synthesiser score that really cranks up the energy. this was as nail—biting as any thriller i've seen recently. and we all know how it ends! i mean we all know! it's still gripping. i've spent the whole thing gripping the edge of my seat thinking this is astonishing that this happened and the documentary really put it right there in front of you. i thought it was terrific. apollo 11. terrific. and support the girls. yes. now, you've seen this as well. mm. i thought this was something you would enjoy. this is, when barack obama was doing his favourite things of 2018, alongside things like annihilation and eighth grade, he chose this. and they think it's a great choice. it is a refreshingly honest comedy,

a drama with comedic elements, about women juggling their home lives with working in a place called double whammies. it is described as a sports bar with curves. and regina hall leads up this dynamite cast. which includes hayley richardson. they are people trying to hold down jobs and families and dealing with different things while working in what could easily be a very hostile environment. here's a clip. can i ask, do you get, like, grabbed? it happens. yeah, like when someone's super wasted or whatever. but it's pretty rare and you can usually tell when something like that's coming and just, you know, kind of like... let me just say this — we have a zero tolerance policy on it. you know, i don't mind calling the cops if a customer is committing the crime of sexual assault. and trust me, you know, i don't have to call far, because, you know what, we have a lot of officers who are regulars. and officer dominguez is a cutie, i think. but, seriously, y'all, let me say the important thing is that this is a mainstream place. and it's a family place, which means a lot of families come here.

and it also means that we're all family. and you're not wearing a whole lot of clothes, but, trust me, if these guys wanted to go to a strip club they know where to find them. theyjust come here so some sweet girls can take some care of them. it is like working at chili's or applebee's except it is more fun any tips away better. usually. if you know how to work it. i think what's really good about this is you absolutely believe in their lives. completely. there is a feeling of comradeship and companionship and you get to know each character's individual stories as the day plays out. i thought it had that thing that the best cinema has, which is real empathy. you felt like, fine, i understand exactly what this environment is like and it's looking at that from... you have seen things like this in films like porky‘s. but from the other side. this is looking at it from the point of view of people working. yes, just trying to do their best to feed their family.

and it's so well observed, really beautiful. the performances are completely natural. you absolutely buy every single one of the characters. it is a fairly small release but really worth checking out. i thought it was terrific. i thought it was really, really empathetic and sympathetic. and funny. and regina hall, who we see again here, she isjust terrific. terrific. i thought the whole ensemble cast. i don't think there was a wrong put in the whole thing. and it leads to a particularly strong ending. i thought it was great. a small release support the girls, well worth checking out. your film of the week? because you and i haven't done this togetherfor a while, have you seen rocket man? yes, it's an assault on the senses. in a good way. i was kind of exhausted at the end. not in a bad way, but it is so overwhelming visually, but clever visually. brilliantly written by lee hall, fantastic performance by taron egerton, and wonderfully directed by dexter fletcher. who, of course, was the guy who saved bohemian rhapsody. yes!

but now in this, this is a proper musical. the kind of thing that ken russell would have done. did you love it? love would be too strong, actually. there were a lot of things they liked about it. 0k. i thought it was ambitious trying to fit his entire life into two hours. where was the context? there was nothing the aids crisis. well, except that it is very specifically about that part of his life from nothing to stardom to crisis to everything falling apart. because it starts with him going into rehab. we need another 15 minutes to discuss that. i didn't dislike it. give it another go. i wanted to see in the evening with a drink and i saw it in the day with a cup of tea. and that didn't feel quite right. i'd sit in the middle of the night with anything. streaming, however. this was hard work, ifound. fighting with my family? i'm astonished. tell me why, what you didn't like. at the end, because it's based on a true story, at the end they show the clips from the documentary and i thought this would be a really interesting documentary.

the documentary is the thing that the rock — dwayne ‘the rock‘ johnson was over here in the uk watching television and he saw the documentary. have have you seen the documentary? no, only the feature film. he saw it and thought that would make a good feature film. i thought that stephen merchant did a pretty good job of taking that real—life story and turning it into a really, really accessible drama. a woman from norwich who wants to go into wrestling. wants to go into wrestling. comes from a wrestling family. her whole family are about wrestling. but of course wrestling has gone from the uk to america where in america it is a really big deal. over here, the heyday was in the 19705, world of sport in the afternoon. i thought it was ok. well, i'm surprised. so we disagree on fighting with my family. good performances. and we are agreed that support the girls is terrific. oh, yes, yes. 0k. and thank you for a very cheery week, on balance. yes. all things considered. welcome back. lovely to see you, mark. thank you very much. see you next week. and that is it for this week, as you will gather. enjoy yourfilm going, whatever you're watching. see you next time. bye— bye.

is always worth looking back at the heatwave, extremely punishing heatwave, extremely punishing heatwave we had across parts of europe. we had temperature records smashed. temperatures reached 46 celsius in france. that beat the old gin record by five celsius. it wasn't just beaten by gin record by five celsius. it wasn'tjust beaten by a little bit, it was annihilated. but there is some relief from that. some hot weather. day by day, next few days, cooler air flowing and across the uk into europe and that is going to be moderating those temperatures significantly. i'm sure the heat looks alluring but people will be relieved it will turn a bit fresher. here, the weather is looking too bad at all over the next few days. mainly dry with spells of sunshine but they will be some rain at times across north and west. indeed, we have some of it at the moment was

not as low pressure have some of it at the moment was not as low pressure moves across have some of it at the moment was not as low pressure moves across the northern isles. north—westerly winds which the showers southwards into scotland, northern ireland, the far north of england and north wales as well because of otherwise, dry weather towards the south and east. here is the chart for monday will not high—pressure to the west of the british isles. the weatherfront moving southwards through the day on monday, bringing thick cloud for a time and also some showers which will reach northern wales, northern parts of england, but to the south of this, it is dry. southern parts of this, it is dry. southern parts of england, should say fine with fairly lengthy spells of sunshine. in any case, the weather will brighten up through the day with increasingly sunny skies was not to 22 degrees in london. a little bit cool for the time of year across the far north of scotland and a reminder, really, that we have some are with us, wimbledon is starting tomorrow. it will be a dry day was not it should be a dry week for the first week of wimbledon. tuesday, weatherwise, a few showers around, mainly across the far north of scotland. pressure builds a little bit which means we should see a bit more in the way of sunshine and the best of the sunshine, two bridges reach 22. that is your latest weather. —— temperatures reach 22.

welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm mariko 0i, in seoul. the headlines: a handshake and a moment of history — donald trump becomes the first serving american president to set foot in north korea. stepping across that line was a great honour, a lot of progress has been made, a lot of friendships have been made, and this has been in particular a great friendship, so i just want to thank you. that was very quick notice, and i want to thank you. some criticise the groundbreaking visit as a tv stunt but can it lead to concrete progress? i'm kasia madera, in london. also in the programme: hong kong braces for more protests,
