day is longer ihan day is longer lhan lhe you? every day is longer than the previous day but as the day comes, the sun goes down later. these antibodies, this is key to getting us antibodies, this is key to getting us out of the lockdown. we have to have a robust system telling whether or not people of the illness and that's when restrictions can be loosened. but the best scientists in the world are working flat out on a solution to this, so even if the guardian has found a possible problem with these tests, there will be other tests in the queen said we will meet again. thank you both. that is it for the papers. do not forget that you can see the front pages online on the bbc news website. it all there seven days a week at bbc. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you caroline and tony. next on bbc news it's

the film review. hello and welcome to the form review. with cinemas close and eve ryo ne review. with cinemas close and everyone being urged to stay indoors due to the coronavirus, new films are still opening in the uk through streaming services. being made available for home viewing. so, for example. last week, the surrealist thriller which is going to have a theatrical opening became available exclusively through streaming services. no, i do not

think this is the right way. this is the way we came in. to be just as some kind of loop? hello? i have never heard such silence. a couple looking for a perfect dream home have found themselves trapped in a nightmarish suburban development called yonder. with they are forced to raise an alien child. like an extended edition of the twilight zone, it takes a very single idea and stretches it out to future links, but it does so with enough weight and invention to keep audiences entertained and a little bit freaked out. what is the cloud in the shape of? a cloud. all the clouds who are shaped like clouds. perfect. sickening. little clouds.

should i hit it? no. hit her. and adaptation of the 2012 novel, it's self inspired by the 1902 novel, five children and it. it gives wishes. providing the voice the magical creature who can grant one wish for a day and was met with the kids all suffer from wish for a day and was met with the kids all sufferfrom their wish for a day and was met with the kids all suffer from their own personal issues. planning to make their two families one, to the horror of their respective children, while the villainous russell brand choose the scenery, handsomely doubling for cornwall.

matthew goode and paula patton are the single parents planning to make their two families one, to the horror of their respective children, while a villainous russell brand chews the scenery, provided in eye—catching fashion by ireland handsomely doubling for cornwall. well, that is extraordinary. you. you, don't move. brilliant. oh, and one of the rest of you. well, better be getting back to the old mansion! do let me know if you need... anything? yeah! that would go there as a noun, wouldn't it? anything. any—thing! having apparently never been out of print since its first publication, the original novel has spawned several screen adaptations, including the much—loved ‘905 bbc tv series and a somewhat underrated 2004 film adaptation shot in the isle of man and featuring eddie izzard as the voice of it. this film of jacqueline wilson's modern update doesn't have the charm of those productions. what it does have is a hint of the real world issues that wilson's books have always tackled, a buoyant score by anne nikitin, and a likeably wrinkly sand fairy, to which caine lends deadpan, droll vocal appeal.

you also get to hear russell brand use the phrase "ethnically insensitive erotica" and see him run around with his bottom on fire, which kind of sums up the film. four kids and it is now available on sky cinema. at the other end of the spectrum, this week also sees the streaming release of the whalebone box, the latest fantastically inventive arthouse production from british maverick andrew kotting. i asked him where the whalebone came from and he said it came from a washed—up whale after the whale had been smashed up as a result of a storm. the box in question was made of the bones of a whale that washed up on the island of harris in the outer hebrides many years ago. kotting's film follows two journeys — one in which psychogeographer iain sinclair and photographer anonymous bosch join andrew on a pilgrimage to take the box back to harris. in the other, we venture into the dreams of eden kotting, artist and daughter—cum—muse of andrew. there is nothing mainstream about andrew kotting's films,

which are more like a cut—up collage of sound and vision, throwing together ideas and places and finding strange connections between them. ever since his breakthrough feature gallivant in the mid ‘905, many of his films have involved an element of a journey or a quest, exploring the landscape of a virtual idea through the physical landscape of britain, with all its history and folklore and magic. there really is no—one else making movies like these, although you can see the legacy of derekjarman in kotting's work and find a kindred spirit in the home—made movies of cornish film—maker markjenkin, who recently won a bafta for bait. like bait, the whalebone box isn't for everyone, but if you are looking for something genuinely creative, adventurous and inspiring, then i think you will love it. it is available exclusively on the streaming service mubi. sounds really nice. that sounds gorgeous! keep going, keep going!

# looking from the window above. # like a story of love. go on! # can you hear me? # came back only yesterday and moving farther away. # want you near me. # all i needed was the love you gave. # love you gave. # all i needed for another day. # and all i ever knew, only you. # ba—da—da, bum—bum... also available to stream is military wives, the feel—good film from the full monty director peter cattaneo, which had a brief but successful run in cinemas just before the current closures, and which has now been made available on all premium video on demand platforms for a limited period. so... no, no, no, go ahead.

thanks very much, lisa. that's lovely. this reminds me of when my parents got divorced. it's also worth checking out the perfect candidate, the latest film from haifaa al—mansour, which is available through modern films and curzon home cinema. you may remember a few years ago, i raved about wadjda, the ground—breaking saudi feature from al—mansour about a young girl desperate to buy a bike — a taboo—breaking symbol of freedom. the perfect candidate finds al—mansour returning to saudi for another tale of female empowerment — this time focusing on a doctor who winds up running for local election in an attempt to get the road in front of her hospital fixed. early on in the film, we see a male patient refusing to be treated by a female doctor — a hostility that's multiplied

as maryam becomes a public figure. but despite the potentially tough subject matter, the perfect candidate is a joy to watch, not least because of the regular, vibrant bursts of live music which punctuate the drama, and because of the defiance of our central character, who definitely gets my vote.

it's worth noting too that if you stream the perfect candidate through the modern films website, you can donate a percentage of the profits to your choice of one of several independent cinemas. but if streaming isn't your bag and you prefer good old—fashioned disc technology, then my dvd choice this week is a real treat. mr blanc, i know who you are. i read your profile in the new yorker. i found it delightful. ijust buried my 85—year—old father, who committed suicide. why are you here? i'm here at the behest of a client. who? i cannot say, but let me assure you this, my presence will be...ornamental. you will find me a respectful,

quiet, passive observer... ..of the truth. rian johnson earned an original screenplay oscar nomination for knives out, a deliciously twisty satirical thriller that puts a new spin on old agatha christie riffs. daniel craig is the gentleman detective with the outrageous southern accent, investigating the death of a famous crime writer whose family are now fighting over his inheritance. a star—studded cast includes michael shannon, christopher plummer, ana de armas and jamie lee curtis — the latter of whom, in my opinion, also deserved an oscar nomination. no—one move until we figure this all out. what? can we ask why? has something changed? no. no, it hasn't changed, or no, we can't ask? mr stevens, you may continue. knives out is out on dvd now. it's also available to download. that's it. thanks for watching, and i'll be back next week with more home viewing releases. you want to ask this guy some questions? all right, what is this? what's this arrangement? mr drysdale.

csi kfc? he laughs sarcastically. hello there. the weekend brought plenty of sunshine and temperatures responded accordingly. sunday was the warmest day of the year so far, 22.2 degrees, the highest temperature in west wales. but from monday, something a little bit cooler, there will be some sunshine around, but there will also be some showers. that very warm air there was northwards across the uk through sunday, is being replaced by something cooler from the atlantic. moving in behind, this frontal system. so continue to bring some are of rent due monday morning by becoming very slow moving across east anglia and the southeast. you can are bricks of rain only slowly trudging eastwards and rain likely

to to have your for a time trudging eastwards and rain likely to to have yourfor a time in trudging eastwards and rain likely to to have your for a time in the morning. find it there will be brighter spots of sunshine march across england and wales want to for northern ireland and scotland, but fairly windy again across the far northwest and temperatures down on where they have been betrothed 18 degrees and that is still respectable for this kind of year. as we move to monday night with large winds and clear skies, it is going to turn colder, turn the a quarter start to tuesday morning. temperatures very close to freezing, some parts will get down to freezing. a frost for someone to stay and potentially one or two fog patches as well. but tuesday is all about high—pressure, building its way and from the near continents and that promises a lot of dry weather, yes that promises a lot of dry weather, yes the chilly start, but weather, yes the chilly start, but we will see plenty of sunshine and winds start to come back up to the south and there will be some warmth in that sunshine but temperatures in london heading up to around 20

degrees, further north for glasgow, 14 degrees, further north for glasgow, 1a or 15, always in patches for northwest scotland, it's quite hazy here. as you move to tuesday and wednesday, still high—pressure to the east area and frontal systems in the east area and frontal systems in the squeeze between the two will bring a renewed search of warm air from the south and noticed northern scotla nd from the south and noticed northern scotland was onto something called but elsewhere, temptress kremmling claiming 22 —— temperatures claiming 23 degrees. we will see them rising again on friday.

this is bbc news. let's go i'm not to the white house where the president is speaking. your governor is doing a greatjob in newjersey. they got hit very hard for some i just want to say that the full power of the american government and american enterprise, this is an all out military operation that we have waged. and especially over the last number of weeks, 50 states and territories have not been approved for major disaster declarations which is very unusual. thanks to the army corps of engineers, new york city's javits centre is one of the largest hospitals in the united states. it is designated for treatment of
