there's some sort distancing. unless there's some sort of miracle vaccine developed very quickly. in which case, those industries will remain vulnerable for some time. much the same goes for some time. much the same goes for the airline industry and tourists industries. you can't imagine those industries going back up imagine those industries going back up to the pre—coronavirus levels for some years, and i think that will require some pretty major economic dislocation. let's go back to the sunday telegraph. its main story, prime minister in whitehall revolution. this is a story that borisjohnson revolution. this is a story that boris johnson apparently is revolution. this is a story that borisjohnson apparently is planning this whitehall revolution. dominic cummings, his senior aide, this whitehall revolution. dominic cummings, his senioraide, has this whitehall revolution. dominic cummings, his senior aide, has a very colourful quote in this story. he said a hard rain is going to fall

on this civil source. i think the man is absolutely —— mark sedwill is the uk's most senior servant, he's both national security adviser and cabinet secretary. it's at risk of losing a decent one of those post —— he is at risk. briefing as to what might happen in terms of civil service. don, this isn't the first time we've heard of dominic cummings desire to shake up the civil service. he had that quote about wanting those misfits to join. that's right. he has expressed some quite colourful opinions about the inefficiencies of the british... the

incompetence of ministers and the fa ct incompetence of ministers and the fact that ministers don't understand all the sorts of things that he's interested in. science and statistics in particular. but how this will work out in practice and in terms of the particular personalities involved is absolute fascinating. we can't really... we all have our noses pressed at the windows. we can't really see what's going on inside. dominic cummings obviously is a very, very important adviser to the prime minister, but he's not a civil servant. the relationship between those political appointees and the permanent civil servants has never been easy or comfortable in the past decades i've been covering numberten

comfortable in the past decades i've been covering number ten politics. good perspective to and on. we have to end it there. my thanks to sian and john. the film review is next. goodbye for now. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best movies available for viewing in the home. the most fascinating and mysterious new release is the french drama,

the girl with a bracelet. stephane demoustier‘s remake remake of the argentine film, the accused, which is available exclusively on curzon home cinema. melissa guers is impenetrable and enigmatic as lise, the teenager charged with the murder of her best friend who was found stabbed in her bed after a party sleepover. from the opening scene from which the police arrive on a beach to arrest her come up to the courtroom proceedings to which we hear that she is the only suspect in this terrible crime, or subject

shows little or no emotion. this terrible crime, our subject shows little or no emotion. when asked how she feels about the loss of her friend, she was reportedly angry with for posting on the video, she seems unmoved and strangely silent. and that she in shock, reeling from the trauma of the murder and the subsequent trial? or is it she simply a cold—blooded killer? that's a question the film wants us to answer for ourselves, offering only conjecture and speculation as to what really happened leaving us, like thejury, to weigh out the evidence. it's a precarious balancing act that the film pulls off with great aplomb challenging the rituals of grief and the displays of emotion through which we are expected to judge guilt or innocence. while the parents‘ turmoil is clear and present, their daughter remains coolly detached removed from the drama playing out around her.

watching events unfold through glass. alone and inscrutable. # volcano man! there's nothing inscrutable about eurovision song contest: the story of fire saga. an entertaining romp starring will ferrell and rachel mcadams as the icelandic hopefuls who wind up representing their country and the music extravaganza after a terrible accident obliterates the competition, literally. so we are in? yeah. # hey baby when you look at me. it's easy to sneer at eurovision, but for those of us who love it and aren't afraid to say so, this good—hearted musical comedy strikes just the right note. approaching its subject with a mix of affectionate humour and appropriately outrageous camp pastiche. the plot may be ripped off

an old episode of father ted, but there's plenty to enjoy, not least a bare chested dan stevens stealing the show as the beefcake russian favourite, a role which allows screenwriters will ferrell and andrew steele to take satirical swipes at the kremlin's homophobia while celebrating the inclusivity which lies at the very heart of eurovision. 0h, there's a timely reminder that in the current climate, everyone hates the uk. the film is available on netflix now. democrats are getting their asses kicked. we need some way to road test a more rural friendly message. if you can't live your principles and the bad times, i guess they aren't principals, and just hobbies. nice. john wayne and a tractor have a baby, and all you can say is nice? from musical comedy to political satire in the form of jon stewart's irresistible. no, no, no, that's a lie. that's a lie. no. you're lying. steve carell and rose byrne play warring campaign consultants who descend on a small midwestern town

in an attempt to swing a mayoral election to their respective political advantage. chris cooper is colonel jack hastings, a veteran marine and salt of the earth farmer who seems to embody everything the democrats need but sorely lack. can i be completely honest with you, no bull? that would be nice. but carell‘s gary, he is bill clinton with impulse control or a churchgoing bernie sanders with better bone density. and so gary attempts to persuade jack to stand for mayor. yeah, we're the good guys. throwing behind him the kind of high—tech campaign that attracts national attention and national dollars. meanwhile, byrne‘s faith shows up to fight to the republican corner as a local election becomes a bellwether for greater things. pitched somewhere between the appointed barbs of barry levinson's wag the dog, and the fish out of water charm of bill forsyth's local hero, it is broad strokes fair. hardly radical, but still entertaining nonetheless. do you have a bottle opener? no, it's just a twist, twist off. yeah, yeah, yeah.

i know. maybe he does need a bottle opener. use your vest. most importantly the nonpartisan action does not try to tie the sickness of american politics to one party or another. instead, stewart who proved himself an astute political commentator on the daily show takes aim at a system in which money and power ride roughshod over the interests of ordinary people, whatever their party affiliations. worth noting that irresistible reminds us of the pitfalls of underestimating the so—called common people. who in capra—esque fashion proved more than a match for the elites who try to use them to play politics. drew was a young, powerful something who cared so much about this music. and so went defjam called me and was lax, russell simmons wants to offer you this job as a director of a and r at defjam i could not have scripted it better. if you want something more grounded in reality then why not check out on the record? an eye—opening documentary from kirby dick and amy kearing.

i did not tell that many people about what happened with russell. following exposes of sexual abuse within the film industry, on the record centres on drew dixon's mistreatment within the music business. specifically at the hands of defjam co—founder russell simmons. i would never hurt anybody. having left a high—profile career in a and r, dixon is seen struggling with whether or not to go public several years later as other women come forward with experiences strikingly similar to her own. he said he looked at her the other day and realised my daughter is not a victim any more, she's a warrior. and i thought, i would like to be a warrior. i'm tired of being a victim. i've been a victim for 22 years. let me see with the other thing feels like. it's powerful, intelligent fare deftly negotiating the intersecting strands of sexism and racism which make it particularly difficult for these women to tell their stories lending an important voice to

the metoo movement that had previously been silenced. dearly beloved friends, we gather here... sneeze ..in this time of man's greay innocence. inn0cence? i will leave you with news that the thoroughly modern adaptation of jane austen's emma is now available on dvd and blu—ray. anya taylorjoy is excellent as austen's handsome, clever and rich heroine emma woodhouse while johnny flynn combines vulnerability with a weapons grade animal magnetism notably absent from austen's novel as mr knightley. ms woodhouse! such news! sighting bringing up baby as an inspiration alongside john hughes' coming of age movies, rock photographer and music video veteran de wilde takes flirtatious liberteies with austen's source. an approach that pays crowd pleasing dividends as it reduces the complexities of the text to a caricature screen romp.

talking over each other. that's it for this week, thanks for watching the film review, saty safe, and i will be back next week with more home viewing treats. fight for your dream of a life with her, fight like a viking! sorry to disturb but you two do know that iceland it into the eurovision finals? what! ? hello. well, the fresh weather is here to stay for the foreseeable future, at least the next week or so. so plenty of showers in the forecast, and on top of that, it's also going to be windy, particularly on sunday. really quite blustery for the time of the year. now, the reason for it is this low pressure that swung out of the atlantic. it's been propelled by a jet stream. thatjet stream has also introduced that much fresher air, and it's here to stay.

this is what it looks like to the early hours. so the possibility of catching showers almost anywhere through the early hours, but more especially i think across the northwest of the uk and really across parts of northern ireland, the northwest of england and southwest as well as western scotland, it could be really quite wet during the course of sunday. you see these weather fronts spiralling into the area of low pressure, and around it, we've also got those strong winds circling, and you can see those winds circling about scotland. this low pressure is also quite slow moving, which means this weather is just going to carry on for the next 48 hours or so at least. you can see where the heaviest of the rain is in the northwest of the uk here. further south, it's going to be brighter. there certainly will be some sunshine around, but those winds will be strong and gusting in excess of a0 miles an hour in places. that's near gale force, real bluster out there. let's have a look at the weather around four o'clock in the afternoon. actually not looking bad at all for the south, the london area, east anglia, much of the midlands.

but then we get into wales and further towards the north and west, you can see the pulses of heavy rain. and scotland, it looks as though these more eastern areas will probably be a little bit drier and brighter. so, let's have a look at the forecast then as we go through the course of monday. the low pressure is still very much with us. you can see heavy rain affecting parts of northern britain once again, but to the south, so the further you are away from that area of low pressure, you can see it's drier and brighter. those temperatures getting up to around about 19 celsius, and not even making 20 early in the week. now the temperatures will probably creep up a little bit into the low 20s through the course of the week, but plenty of showers, i think, on the cards across more northern parts of the uk. so as i say, the fresh weather is here to stay.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm lewis vaughan—jones. the uk prepares to ease travel restrictions, allowing people to go on holiday to much of europe without having to quarantine when they return. president trump signs an executive order protecting us statues and monuments, calling for long prison sentences for people who vandalise them. malawi's opposition leader wins the presidential election, a dramatic reversal of last year's discredited result. and ireland has a new government. micheal martin has been elected taoiseach at a special sitting of parliament. he will lead a three—party coaltion.
