borisjohnson sets out the next stage of the government's plans to ease the coronavirus lockdown in england, including a timeline for returning to workplaces. the prime minister says local authorities will get more powers to bring in lockdowns in their areas to contain future outbreaks. the nhs in england will get an additional £3 billion to prepare for a possible second coronavirus wave this winter. now on bbc news, it's time for the film review with mark kermode. rounding up the best movies available for viewing in the home.

the standout home cinema release this week is clemency. a haunting death row drama from writer/director chinonye chukwu with in astonishing essential performance by alfre woodard. four hours from the execution, all communication with outside parties will cease. that includes ms lumetta, friends, family members but you can be with the chaplain the entire day. all the way through the procedure. you will have to take your clothes off, wear the shirts, the pants, that will be issued to you. when it's time for the procedure you will be walked to the chamber. woodard plays bernadine williams, warden at a maximum security prison who prides herself on treating her inmates with dignity as they move through incarceration

to whatever awaits. whether that be freedom or death. do you have any family that would like to claim your body? yet, despite the professional facade, bernadine has doubts about her job. accentuated when a botched procedure reveals the true horror of execution. how do you keep doing it? i do myjob. you've given me hope. meanwhile anthony woods played by aldis hodge is running out of time after 15 years on death row. his lawyer played by richard schiff has uncovered plentiful evidence throwing doubt on his conviction for murder. but hope and reprieve is still fading. leaving both jailed and jailer facing a terrible end. i can't do this on my own. that sets the toll the death penalty takes on all whom it touches it runs throughout this drama. in which everyone is at the end of their tenor. the warden to the lawyer to the prison chaplain

all of whom seem to be experiencing a form of collective ptsd. i don't see how it's going to work. living with an empty shell of a wife. at the centre of it all is woodard who can faze so much about her characters history and sent to age through her stance of stoicism the modulation of her voice, even the rhythm of her breath. plaudits too to hodge who mesmerises as the inmate faces death even as new life presents itself albeit at a distance. i am here now. with you. beautifully lensed by eric van gogh and scored by catherine bostic. this is a character old thoughtful piece of cinema taken to the next level by the sheer calibre of his performances. you can find it on cursing him cinema on the bohemian media platform. viewers can also choose to donate half of the revenue to a participating cinema, charity or film charity of their choosing.

in the early 1930s binwell who called praise and out late her rights with his films directed one of the strangest pseudo—documentaries ever filmed. land without bread. a brutal portrait of life in one of the poorest regions of spain. now with the labyrinth of the turtles available on bfi player simone has made an equally strange animated feature about the creation of the film which similarly defines categorization. adapted from a graphic novel by furman solace the film focuses on the friendship between the two, the artist and friends who agreed to finance the movie

if he won the lottery. which he promptly did. unable to control ben wells increasingly out rages creative urges he finds himself questioning the entire nature of the project in which he is invested time, money, and most importantly trust. galliano who served as animation director on the brilliant chico and rita once against works simple wonders with the visuals which are starkly intercut with live action underage from the film. be warned, orchestrated animal suffering and death is a recurrent feature of this film. and he does not shy away from this unpalatable truth. act really cool, just act really cool. i've got persons with disabilities and blind guy. he is visually impaired.

visually impaired gentlemen? which one of you is driving? sort of a team effort. back in 2007 the bbc film for one night only told the story of astor philpott was born with upper process and who travelled to a legal brothel in spain to lose his virginity. philpott story has since inspired seven feature films. the award winning 20 award—winning building has televisa, the 2016. film adios amigos and they now come as you are. an american version of the same story which is available to rent from several premium platforms. seriously, toss it out the window, they can track us. did he just throw his phone out? scotty matt and marley the trio with the range at your road trip in montreal against the wishes of parents and carers who still treat them as children. it's my sim card,

a cameo appearance as indeed he did in the 2011 film. it's also true that come as you are which is both entertaining and touching is a rare example of a mainstream sex comedy that doesn't fit the cookie cutter mold. but in an age where in movies are varied as my farrell hart, peter butter falcon and even the current release ride like a girl are proving the positive diverse casting. it's a real shame that come as you are wasn't able to follow their lead. music management, we are on the list. not on the list. you are incompetent. you call yourself a pa and you can't ever remember to phone and you can't ever remember to phone and get my name on the list? what? you heard me you burn your brain reject. you are fired. harsh. don't even bother coming into work tomorrow. ms. malone, malone plus

one. my mistake. one of the surprise treats of 2018 was anna and the apocalypse. a christmas zombie musical, yes really. boasting a start making central performance by ella hunt. i'm malone music scout why don't you and i grab a seat... hunt takes the title role and cat and the band. a sweet natured hannah montana style and the band. a sweet natured hannah monta na style fa ntasy and the band. a sweet natured hannah montana style fantasy in which our heroine as a schoolgirl by day, aspiring rock manager by night. roles which must be kept separate and sacred. the the band with each cat hopes to make her mark unhindered by the fact that she's in the middle of her marks and has zero experience of organising a gig into learn a tour. welcome, dollar days! and kevin's the band members can attain actual been members who may

remember at the very silly thrill of the host played on digital back in april. this is altogether more enjoyable. just don't go expecting a hard—hitting behind the scenes expose. it's essentially a teen fairy tale with doc martens buoyed up fairy tale with doc martens buoyed up with hunt's likeable presence, accompanied by the tunes of song velvet morning and even boasting a cameo by badly drawn boy as an unlikely knight in shining armor. thank you so much for this. no worries. it is available on a range of platforms now. i think i've died and gone to heaven, boys. this place is as big as roseland. it's bigger than my whole neighbourhood in queens. all of which brings us to ghost of war. a horror movie war hybrid with an audacious silly late in the day plot trips of recent

memories. don't worry, i'm not going to spoil it for you. suffice to say that while silence may be required ofan that while silence may be required of an audience of the cinema when watching this at home it is perfectly acceptable to go what? we openin perfectly acceptable to go what? we open in the later stages of world war ii. where billy zane makes a suspiciously brief cameo before a gi’oup suspiciously brief cameo before a group of american soldiers take command ofan group of american soldiers take command of an eerie mansion. what's wrong with the joint? i command of an eerie mansion. what's wrong with thejoint? i mean command of an eerie mansion. what's wrong with the joint? i mean at this places like coney island what's the rack? what evil forces are at work here? apart from the obvious evil forces of the nazis in world war ii. and what was all that stuff with billy zane? ghost of war is written and directed by erik perez whose previous credits include the butterfly effect. which i give you some idea of where this is all going. it's a strange mix of the quite creepy and the utterly ridiculous. like an extended addition of the twilight zone, longer yet somehow less substantial.

that's it for this week. thanks for watching the fate fleet not film review. stay safe and i'll be back next week with more home viewing treats. you've got this. ease the break, easter break a little bit more. harder. stop! what are you blind? good evening. sunshine at this time of year is pretty strong so it doesn't take much for those temperatures to respond once we get it. and we certainly had it on friday with temperatures widely in the south—east corner around the mid to high 20s. beautiful blue sky and sunshine here but not for all of us. this weather front brought cloud and rain, and the rain was fairly slow moving. behind it, plenty of isobars driving in some showers to the north—west of the great glen. so, that is going to be the story

over the next few hours. we will see cloud and rain slowly meandering its way into north of england and north wales. it stays relatively mild, even muggy, in the south—east corner where we'd seen friday's heat. so as we start off our saturday morning then, that cloud and rain slowly pushing its way steadily south—east. again it is going to stay on the breezy side of the north—west driving in some showers. on the breezy side of the north—west so, a day of mixed fortunes really. on the breezy side of the north—west sunny spells and scattered showers for scotland and northern ireland, the rain will push its way slowly southwards. it's not in any rush at all and that means that east anglia, the midlands and down along that channel coast will again see some sunshine and some warmth. perhaps not quite as warm as today but temperatures peaking into the mid—20s. the question mark unfortunately is what's going to happen to the cricket? if you are following the second test, that weather front just sitting around the north—west, so there's likely to be some interruption to play, hopefully slowly improving as we go through the latter stages of the afternoon. so there it is — really not moving very far very fast.

one thing that's interesting about it — it's a cold front. so as it does squeeze its way south and east, it will continue to introduce this fresher air from the north—west. so, you'll notice the difference with the feel of the weather across south—east england particularly on sunday. it may well start off grey, dull, drizzly in places. slowly brightening up, we keep the risk of some showers driven on by that westerly breeze in the far north—west. a look at the temperatures widely into the mid to high teens. if we're lucky, we may well see 21 degrees but high pressure is set to build and start the week off on quite a quiet note. a good deal of dry weather before there is the risk of more cloud and rain pushing into the far north—west later on in the week. take care.

boris johnson announces further easing of the coronavirus lockdown in england, saying he hopes the country will return to normality, by christmas. from next month employers can ask staff to go back to the office, as long as the proper safety measures are in place. hoping for the best but planning for the worst. and it's in that spirit that we must carry on waiting this carry on waging this long, hard fight against coronavirus. the nhs is to get an extra £3 billion ahead of the winter flu season, amid fears of a new wave of coronavirus infections. the key now is confidence. do the public have confidence in the measures the government's put in place? do businesses have confidence in the advice that's been given?
