i didn't have the characters on social media a lot. the relationship that she has with god, and in a way the audience of the film, is, in my mind anyway, quite similar to the relationship i see some people have with social media and the constant feeling that somebody else is watching and sort of wanting approval. and the sort of ability to be, on the one hand, incredibly lonely, like by herself in a room, as a lot of us have been particularly recently. but then to also feel incredibly connected to the rest of the world. a lot of those things are quite anxiety inducing. gender is obviously a big issue, it's a big issue in the movies, how did you find the experience as a first—time female director? i mean, i'm very aware that i'm coming up right at a time when the industry and audiences are wanting more diverse voices in their storytellers. and i'm definitely benefiting from people who have done a lot of important work before me to make that the case. but now that i'm here, i'm only interested in making films and telling stories just like as a person, not sort of as a woman.

am i indecent? no, you're lost. it's a little too early to talk about oscars and red carpets, but saint maud is a notable autumn cinema release, arriving at a very difficult time for the industry, but boasting a lead and a director with a big future. will gompertz, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello to our viewers in the uk joining us around the world. it's time to take a look at the national international front pages in the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster and author john kampfner and katy balls, deputy political editor at the spectator. welcome to you both. let's start with the telegraph, and it leads with the news that donald trump is set to leave hospital, as he urges people not

to fear coronavirus. the same story makes the front page of the i. it says president trump claims to feel better than he did 20 years ago, although his doctors warn he may not be out of the woods yet. the guardian splashes on a major glitch in the uk's test and trace system, which means tens of thousands of people still don't know they've been exposed to coronavirus. according to the new york times, people in the uk have a sense of "virus bravado". the newspaper claims that it's not unusual to see british people without masks. and the imf is calling on rich countries to spend more in order to spur an economic recovery. that's according to the international version of the financial times.

which i have chosen for you, john, because of your book. you'll be pleased... welcome to you as well, casey. let's kick out with the telegraph. the trump story, don't be afraid of covid, he says. interesting to listen to sean connko interesting to listen to sean connolly and the rest of the medical tea m connolly and the rest of the medical team there. men saying that president trump had met the requirements to for being just discharge in hospital. yes, it is interesting looking at that. i think what we've all been wondering is what we've all been wondering is what impact is donald trump's diagnosis going to have on the us election, and i think we're now seeing... yes he's got coronavirus,

but along with what the doctors have been saying in the fact that we expect them to be discharge tonight, trying to suggest coronavirus isn't such a big deal because of treatment has improved. it'll be interesting to see how this land. there are lots who think this is a big deal, but i think donald trump is trying to say look, we moved on and therefore i've had this recovery. but we don't have all the details of exactly what that recovery involves. i think there are more questions as to what he's had an what point is he really at. it's interesting because supporters of president trump will support the drive past yesterday. they will say that this was him showing that he's on top of things and also contribute to get running, others will say he's taking on sis —— unnecessary risk. what did you make of the press

conference earlier? when you watch coverage the bbc or cnn, wherever you are in the world, and you see mainstream media coverage, all the questions are asked and conveyed by commentators around the folly of the drive past yesterday, the extent to which his doctors are not telling the truth, the bravado. it's always a surprise to me after four years that mainstream commentators are surprised by anything that trump does. i think you have to always go from the basis that whatever the conventional wisdom is, he will do the opposite. and he's done that consistently. this is all macho stuff. it's high—stakes, but trump plays high—stakes. if you get

through it, not just plays high—stakes. if you get through it, notjust as some sort of struggling, overweight getting on man, but oh sort of big, brutish, overbearing, sort of a dominating man. he thinks he is going to get the vote out and he may well be right, so he is playing this recovery in purely political terms. a lot further to go, because when you look at the number of people who attended the announcement of amy coney barrett, first supreme court, a dozen of the people there have now been there —— four supreme court. this is high—stakes because this could develop a lot further. yes, and we hear about new positive test among his staff and he's going back to the white house. as long as that does happen, what is the pretty

seizure because you would imagine that if is widespread as it seemed to be —— what is the procedure. i'm positive we will hear more of that. i think it is in a way difficult for donald trump, because you can see why he saying coronavirus isn't such a big deal now that we have good treatment. i think the fact that so many people in his inner circle have now got coronavirus shows that the idea that masks are... it makes it harderfor him to dismiss idea that masks are... it makes it harder for him to dismiss some of the things his opponents are saying. i think we will hear more of that. how much worse donald trump can do, how much interaction you can have. also what is it mean for the present debates, can they really go ahead exactly as planned ? debates, can they really go ahead exactly as planned? let's move on to the guardian.

donald trump says we have the treatment, but we don't appear to have the right memory sticks at the moment. i'm sitting in berlin where i've been for the last few weeks. i must say, whatever i talked to anyone in politics or health care and talk to them about the latest going on —— goings—on, theyjust scratch their heads. they cannot understand how testing has been so haphazard. they can understand how ppe, every step of the way this nonsense that two boris johnson comes outwith, the actual facts are always the same. something goes wrong in the system, and the fact that they couldn't get the right

excel spreadsheets to click the right lines, and as a result, not only were all the test... crucially, the testing and tracing of tens of thousands of people has gone awry. the extent to which people are looking on us so quizzically cannot be underestimated. your magazine, which i think the headline today was xl mass. how politically damaging is it for the government? we know the government because my confidence has been on the globe will not decline. as to the sense of government doesn't have a grip on things of the moment. a, because you do need

public confidence and trust for adherence to rules will some i think that this is very unhelpful for those who've been affected. i think that given it is one about incompetence, this is a gift to government critics. it's interesting thatjeremy hunt, matt hancock's predisaster, was repeating what labour were saying today, that this needs to be a far more localised system needs to be a far more localised syste m — — needs to be a far more localised system —— predisaster. is there any chance the government will shift on that one ——. chance the government will shift on that one --. i do think if you're looking at the target numbers they are trying to get to, they will have to expand it so part of whatjeremy hunt was saying was using lots of different data and i think that is where they will eventually have to

get to. john, you said you are speaking to us from germany. how different is the atmosphere they are in terms of local lockdown ‘s, the adherence to social distancing, face and everything else? let's look at the metro first of all. i saw isaw in this isjust in a predictable longline. here in germany,... it's not so bad. but yes, it's getting worse. people are getting more worried. the nights are drawing in, getting colder. it's getting harder for people to mix outside. if i was

going to get ill, i'd much rather getih going to get ill, i'd much rather get ill here than britain. i was in a small town earlier this week doing a small town earlier this week doing a bbc series, a place where you think the numbers would be bad but the testing procedures in an old theatre were just really spot on. the chief doctor, when i asked if he struggled to test everyone, he looked at me as if i was mad. boris johnson under pressure for the 10pm cu rfew. johnson under pressure for the 10pm curfew. do you to direct any shifting of position on something like that? presumably, the prime minister is under pressure not to be too exclusive and unexceptionable about london when so many other areas are under lockdown.|j about london when so many other areas are under lockdown. i think there's a divide wording people in

government. in terms of optics, when this government has spoken so much on the redwall, the fact that large swathes of parts of the country are of lockdown on parts of the south or not, i think when themes like that to be in curfew, there is a problem. —— 10pm curfew. everyone can relax again and that's why it's unlikely. we are expecting the traffic like system, i think that will have some clarity, but as things stand, parts of the north are going to be read compared to the south. john, let's go on to the ft. that was an example where the germans didn't do it better. absently not. there are many things

that. they've been two major
