don't former remainder in chief, i don't even know what i can call myself i'iow. even know what i can call myself now. i'm not a remainder of anything. it is gone. i have to say, it is almost a relief to have got out of that limbo zone where are we leaving from having another vote. i don't know if i accept these policies but from the outside it looks as though the government is trying to get his ducks in a row. a more cohesive pattern, door die, we will soon find out whether this great experiment of separating ourselves is going to actually succeed or not. if it does, we will all be better off in oe some sort of hat. laughter. idon't all be better off in oe some sort of hat. laughter. i don't know we have enough time for you to eat ahead. -- i will eat some sort of have. at least there is a government with a code in unified message and if it is wrong, we will soon discover. though we have enough time? nobody has ever done this before. that is the really interesting thing about it. nobody has actually left the eu before. we have. so it will be a great

adventure. a great night at the baftas. front page of the daily express. the dazzling touches. define great. great if you are sam mendes or anybody involved in the film 1917. they basically swept the board with a few notable exceptions. but it comes on the back of a lot of controversy about continuing battle for diversity and inclusion within the british film industry. the baftas already in a really rock and a hard place in between it because we have prince william even expressing his disappointment and concern. expressing his disappointment and concern. what do you make a bet? i think you want to be on the right side of history. he has to say something. —— ithink side of history. he has to say something. —— i think he wants to. he is one of the young progressive royals and was to put a stamp on it. and entera royals and was to put a stamp on it. and enter a whole new air and royals and was to put a stamp on it. and entera whole new airand be pa rt of and entera whole new airand be part of the making that happen. props to him. but the problem is on the one hand they want to be diverse and inclusive and championed all of these much smaller films on the other hand they want to be the bold red card spectacular gala and the

second only to the oscars film ceremony in the world. to do that you need your brad pitt and leonardo dicaprio and quentin tarantino. and joaquin phoenix also spoke of this evening. a collective gasp when he spoke. i think the issue here is the academy. the issue is who votes for these awards. 6500 members who get 259 dvds on the desk which means about 540 viewing hours of which they take about 50 if they are having a quiet time. i think one of the reasons we have a lot more i think minority mps the reasons we have a lot more i think minority mp5 from both parties is because they take different approaches to how they do it, so labour took a very different approach to the conservative but both affectively came to the same place. that is just about saying to people products the people you are considering, think about other people you might have thought of. shame you have to be told. it is a shame. that is the point of trying

to make. once told, it is the academy fall and they need to serve themselves out. 1917, a worthy winner? yes. i haven't seen it but i've been told. thank you very much tony and caroline. 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's 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. thank you, tony and caroline. next on bbc news, it's the film review with mark kermode. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news.

to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hello, mark. hello, a mixed bag, we have a beautiful day in the neighborhood, which is a very strange film starring tom hanks. we have richard jewell, a true story directed by clint eastwood. and the rhythm section, an uneven thriller with blake lively. so, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, you have seen it? i am already intrigued because you said it was unusual, it's kind of interesting. directed by marielle heller, who made can you ever forgive me? it is a story which centres around a legendary figure in america, fred rogers, everybody in america knows him, this symbol of everything good and honest, and wholesome and truthful. i have to say, before i saw the film, i knew nothing about him at all. in the film, we see him doing a kids show, kind of a cross between sesame street and a session with a psychiatrist. there is a journalist, lloyd vogel,

played by matthew rhys, someone who is known for taking a scalpel to their subjects. they say at the beginning, "after you've has written about somebody, they don't want to talk to you again." they send him to do a profile piece on fred rogers as a series of pieces on american hero. he goes to meet fred rogers and cannot figure it out whetherhe is for real or whether it a fake. here's a clip. and, action. do you know what this is? it's lloyd... lloyd. hold, please. we can't fire him, can we? hello, lloyd. oh, it's nice to meet you. are you all right? play at the plate. oh, that looks like it hurts. let's chat afterwards.

we need to keep moving. maybe we could have evan been take a look at him? no, i'm good, i'm good. sorry, fred, just need to... all right, all right. it's wonderful to meet you, so glad you're here, lloyd, i'm looking forward to talking with you, i truly am. after this. everyone, this is lloyd vogel, he is a wonderful writer. that performance is so strange, the first time you meet the character, i couldn't get a handle on him at all, exactly as the journalist is. then during their conversations, every time lloyd asks about fred, he kind of turns round back to it about being lloyd. now, this is based by a journalist who did say that after meeting fred rogers, his worldview did change, he started to try and see the good in things. in the case of this,

they have fictionalised and over dramatised the story of lloyd vogel, he is in the middle of real, personal crisis. through his meeting with fred, he does come to change, in a much more dramatic way than actually happened in real life. but the kernel of truth is there, that somebody with this dyspeptic view of the world met this figure who just seems like nobody could be that nice, nobody could be that positive, and somehow couldn't discover a chink in their armour. i have to say, it is hard, nay, impossible, to think of an actor other than tom hanks who could have pulled that character off. what did you think of it? i spent a lot of time thinking, "does it just cross the line of schmaltz?" i decided theyjust kept it back, they just managed it, i think that his because we all kind of love tom hanks, and you cut him so much slack, and he's so impressive. also, when you first meet him, if you don't know the character, he is kind of creepy. the way that everything is, "hello, lloyd, how are you?" it's a little odd.

"it's all about you, lloyd" and there is something that's, "no, just back off!" no, i think the film is really interesting and really strange, and i like the strangeness of it very much. yes. richard jewell, a film in which kathy bates has got a best supporting actress nomination. clint eastwood drama, based on a real—life story based on a security guard who spotted a suspect package at olympic park in 1996, and alerted the authorities, and subsequently became the subject of the fbi‘s investigations as he was somebody who really wanted to be a law enforcement officer. somehow, he fitted the profile of somebody who might have done something to draw attention to himself. this got out to the press, he was treated appallingly by the press. terrific performances by paul walter hauser as richard jewell at the centre of it, very good performance by kathy bates as the mother who sees the media closing in on him and this terrible media treatment he gets. it is a salutary story, a story about what happens

when somebody is thrust, completely unjustly, into the spotlight. it is a shame, therefore, that the figure of the central journalist who breaks the story is itself guilty of some really crass, sexist stereotyping, which is to do with the film itself wanting to say, "look at how bad media are." but actually falls into some vilification of her character which is unwarranted and unfair. although clint eastwood knows how to do simple stroke dramas, he is very good at no—fuss, you look at his best stuff. it isjust a shame... as i say, a story about the misrepresentation of somebody in the the public. it is a shame that it falls into that itself with the representation of a journalist. and the rhythm section? based on the novel written by mark burnell, who also wrote the script. blake lively is a traumatised woman who lost herfamily in an air crash, she then discovers it was not an accident, it was an assassination.

she resolves to find the killer, in order to do it, she has to find itjude law, somebody who has specialist experience, and is not pleased to see her. here is a clip. who else knows you're here? no one... i can't hear you. no, no one... no one knows but me. why did you come here then? i'm going to kill reza. oh, god...he must be terrified. help me find him. you want to kill mohammed reza? you need to hire a professional. i don't have any money. oh, well, you have a job. you're a prostitute, aren't you? so, some talent there, good talent in front of the camera, also behind, reed morano, cinematographer turned director. the problem with it is that,

on the one hand, it wants to be a serious character study, on the other hand, it wants to be a james bond style action—adventure, which is maybe like a rerun of luc besson's nikita, or more recently, something like red sparrow or atomic blonde. as a result of it, you never invest in the characters, you never believe in them. despite some crunchy fight sequences, a well orchestrated car chase, but at no point did i think that anyone in at the film was doing anything other than acting the role of being in the film. it is a real indication of the film does not make sense on its own terms, you don't watch it, you look at it. you just see it pass by but you never get involved in it, and i was never involved. it is a shame because there are lots of very talented people involved in it, i think the project itself, i think, is very flawed. there's a lot of talent in the best out and worst. oh, the personal history of david copperfield, i love it,

you've seen it, right? yes, yes. isn't it wonderful? armando iannucci has done a wonderfuljob with this dickens adaptation. dev patel is at the centre of a wonderful ensemble cast. you know, colour—blind casting used at its very, very best, everybody is cast because they are the right person for the role, because they bring the right skill to the role. extraordinary ensemble cast, loads of speaking parts. it's funny, it's uplifting. it looks wonderful, i think. it looks fabulous, actually, it looks a bit gilliam—esque, i think, as well. at a time, you know, there is a lot of uncertainty, it is a film that celebrates community the best in people, suggesting it is possible for people to come together and resolve their differences. you know, how timely can that be? everybody needs to watch it then. dvd for anyone who wants to stay in this weekend? finally, downton abbey, i never seen the tv show, but i didn't need to. you see the movie, you go, "yeah, that is exactly what i thought downton abbey was going to be." a friend of mine who once wrote a review of a film which said, "goes

down nicely with a cup of tea." and that is downton abbey. that is perfect for dvd, isn't it? exactly, nothing to frighten the horses at all. and you get maggie smith, so what more do you want? yeah. thank you very much, mark, interesting, a curious week, interesting week. see you next week, thanks for watching, enjoy your cinema—going, bye—bye. well, the weather is relatively quiet out there at the moment. but many of us are in for some very windy weather over the next 24—48 hours, particularly western scotland. quite stormy conditions, severe gales on the way — so batten down the hatches. let's have a look at the big picture across our neck of the woods. this is the low pressure responsible for the pending gale force winds, on top of that further wintry

showers across the high ground of scotland. but overall, it is mild this morning, temperatures around 6—8 celsius. you can see showers there across scotland. now the best of the weather will actually be across central parts of the uk — certainly merseyside, the midlands, eastern england, some sunshine on monday, but may end up being cloudy and damp in the southern counties. then in the afternoon into the evening hours, those winds will really wrap up across western scotland, possibly hitting 80 mph wind gusts, easily 50—60 mph. take care.

hello — i'm lewis vaughan jones on london — the headlines. in london, a man shot dead by police after he stabbed two people, had just been released from prison for terrorism offences. i heard three shots and he was alive for two or three minutes on the floor. but we heard police tell everybody we have to move back in case of the blast. the attacker has been identified as 20—year—old sudesh amman — he'd onlyjust been released from prison after being jailed for terror offences. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore — also in the programme. the coronavirus continues to spread. in hubei province, there are 56 new deaths and 2,000 infections on sunday alone.
