unveiled the nominations for its film awards, with an all—white cast of acting nominees and no female film directors. this year, 16 of the 2a acting nominees are from a black, asian or minority ethnic background. four women who directed films have also been nominated. the american drama nomadland, and rocks, a film about an abandoned teenager, are hotly tipped, as our arts editor will gompertz tells us. nomadland jointly leads bafta's 2021 shortlist, its most multicultural ever, with seven nominations, including one for its director, chloe zhao, and a leading actress nod for frances mcdormand. hello, coffee? she is a big star. bukky bakray, another nominee for leading actress, is not — yet. hers was an eye—catching performance in rocks, a beautifully observed film

about growing up in east london, which also sees kosar ali shortlisted for best supporting actress and nominations for both its director and screenwriters. were you expecting that? no! we are bowled over, i can't believe it. were we expecting it, theresa? no, we were hopeful. i think we are at a time where people are beginning to wake up to different stories which, thank god, they've always been there and they've always been worth telling. we can only toil at soil for so long without seeing a harvest and i think this is the beginning of harvest season for so many people, way beyond i got into this industry, who have been working for so long. what do i do for a living? the dark comedy—cum—thriller promising young woman has six nominations, including one for its british writer and director, emerald fennell. judas and the black messiah�*s dominique fishback is among the supporting actress nominees, while daniel kaluuya, who plays fred hampton, leader of the chicago black panther party, gets a supporting actor nod. along with clarke peters

in spike lee's da 5 bloods. if my daddy had known if i'd have turned out like this, he'd have named me gabriel. chadwick boseman, who died of colon cancer last year receives a posthumous leading actor nomination for his performance in ma rainey�*s black bottom. he's one of 16 of the 2a actors shortlisted who comes from an ethnic minority group, which is quite a turnaround from last year, when there were none. we can onlyjudge what's entered but what we did do is make sure there was a more level playing field. that more films were watched by more members, and therefore a greater variety and range of films and performances have been recognised. i'm not leaving my flat! anthony hopkins gets a leading actor nod for his portrayal of an elderly man suffering from dementia in the father, a british movie that is also shortlisted for the prestigious best film award in a bafta short list unlike any other. will gompertz, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are.

have a very good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, daisy mcandrew and the parliamentary journalist, tony grew. it's good to see you both. hello. the metro's front page features the joint statement from the three royal households in response to meghan and harry's interview. the telegraph say it's believed the statement was draughted on monday, but the queen chose to �*sleep on it�* before it was released. the times quotes a royal source who says that the specific allegations of racism will be dealt with by the family in private because they are "family matters". the star looks at presenter piers morgan's departure

from good morning britain following criticism for his comments about the duchess of sussex and suicide. the guardian leads on warnings from the national audit office that at least 25 councils in england are risking bankruptcy amid a funding crisis. meanwhile, the i focuses on the nhs pay rise. it says a poll for the newspaper showed 62% of its readers supported a higher wage rise for health workers. right, let's begin. daisy, we're going to start with one of the only stories on the front page of the telegraph. the issue of race concerning, but recollections vary according to her majesty the queen. 3 vary according to her ma'esty the queen. �* , ., , queen. a very elegantly written statement. _ queen. a very elegantly written statement. i — queen. a very elegantly written statement, i think, _ queen. a very elegantly written statement, ithink, one - queen. a very elegantly written statement, i think, one that. queen. a very elegantly written | statement, i think, one that can probably be interpreted in many ways, which i expect was part of the purpose of this. we know or we're

told that palace officials yesterday had put together a statement which they presented to the queen and said this is what we're proposing to put out to. we're told it was the queen who said she wanted to sleep on it, she wanted the public to see the interview, she wanted to see if there were more stories to come out of it. we know oprah winfrey said there were more clips that didn't make it into the full broadcast. therefore, it would be today at the earliest we would see a statement. this 61 word statement was issued this afternoon, and as you said, the most striking thing about it is that it refers to people having different recollections of conversations. so, in a way, while some recollections may vary, they're taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. a, not everybody agrees what meghan and

harry said, this conversation where allegedly a member of the royal family had questioned what their babies will look like. this was before the wedding and what colour they would be, as in what tone of skin they would be. that's the allegation. but the statement says recollections vary and also we'll deal with this privately, thank you very much. i think it's consolatory as a velvet clad knife. i5 very much. i think it's consolatory as a velvet clad knife.— as a velvet clad knife. is this and eleuant as a velvet clad knife. is this and elegant way _ as a velvet clad knife. is this and elegant way of — as a velvet clad knife. is this and elegant way of saying _ as a velvet clad knife. is this and elegant way of saying it's - as a velvet clad knife. is this and elegant way of saying it's not - as a velvet clad knife. is this and l elegant way of saying it's not sure we recognise this conversation, that apparently took place? i we recognise this conversation, that apparently took place?— we recognise this conversation, that apparently took place? i remember in the sunday papers — apparently took place? i remember in the sunday papers when _ apparently took place? i remember in the sunday papers when royal- apparently took place? i remember in | the sunday papers when royal sources were being _ the sunday papers when royal sources were being quite insulting about this interview, and it seems they're the ones _ this interview, and it seems they're the ones on — this interview, and it seems they're the ones on the blackfoot from this broadcast — the ones on the blackfoot from this broadcast. the allegations about a number_ broadcast. the allegations about a number of— broadcast. the allegations about a number of the royal family —— a

ill—founded. i actually think that the papers have treated pretty much all new members of the royal family pretty appallingly over the last 20 years. i'm not saying that two wrongs make a right and therefore meghan deserved what she got. but there is a bit of me that does see why the rest of the royal family kind of shrugged their shoulders and thought, "we all get this horrible abuse from the papers. " of course i also have a lot of sympathy of what meghan and harry were saying, which is they are the first royals to feel that they have been treated with racism. and that does set them apart from the rest of the royals, because the rest of the royal don't know what that feels like. so i completely understand that awful expression about talking about their truth, but it is their truth and it is their experience and i did have sympathy with them, and i had sympathy with them, and i had sympathy with them, and i had

sympathy with meghan when she was talking about suicidal thoughts. why would anybody say that they had suicidal thoughts when they were pregnant? if they didn't? particularly as a mum, it's not something you would make up, and i find it quite offensive when people raise their eyebrows or sneer at that. it's not very british, particularly not very british upper—class, to go talking about emotions, but that's always been a problem, how the stiff upper lip has led to mental health problems. you sun est led to mental health problems. you suggest some _ led to mental health problems. you suggest some people have raised eyebrows at the suggestion. in what meghan was saying, that she did have suicidal thoughts. let's go to the metro because piers morgan didn't raise an eyebrow, he came out and said it, he didn't believe a word. as a result, the

were cabinet ministers or celebrities or whatever. they were invited on the show for a reason, and the constant interrupting and the fact that... you only have three orfour the fact that... you only have three or four minutes to get something out, and if you spend the entire timejust asking one out, and if you spend the entire time just asking one question over and over, it's a total waste of their time and it's a waste of the viewers' time. ifound their time and it's a waste of the viewers' time. i found that across a lot worse and i wonder if he was bored of the whole thing himself. i'm not entirely sure if he was bored, he'd walk out in the middle of the show. maybe at the indo of the show. maybe at the endowment. laughter. —— after the ends of it. he did come back. let's go to the yorkshire post. mps as taxpayers treated like atm machines by test and trace game. this is a report from the public accounts— this is a report from the public accounts committee, a cross party

this colossal waste of money and frankly, the ineffectual nature of the whole health drive. i frankly, the ineffectual nature of the whole health drive.- frankly, the ineffectual nature of the whole health drive. i agree with ou, buti the whole health drive. i agree with you. but i also _ the whole health drive. i agree with you, but i also think _ the whole health drive. i agree with you, but i also think fortune - you, but i also think fortune favours with the pandemic, nobody knew what they were doing. some countries did because they've been through similar pandemics, and they were the countries, the gold standard, who knew what to do, knew how to do a hard, fast lockdown and knew how to run a decent contact tracing system. but one of the differences through those countries, particularly the far east, their population. they also understood the danger and were willing to comply with the test and trace and when they were contacted, and we weren't because we didn't quite work properly because it wasn't already set up for us. then we as the consumers or the patients didn't really comply. i'd also agree with

tony's point about public versus private, but i think there's a bit more nuanced than that. it tends to be local versus national, and local has been proven to work. too many cooks, it doesn't work. when places like leicester took the track and trace into their local authorities and got people with understanding and got people with understanding and specifically people who could speak the languages of some of these households, because some of the evidence has shown it was in places where they had many, many more than the national average that don't speak english. those were the ones that were completely slipping to the net, because they were just getting calls from a call centre, most of us wanted to put the phone down straightaway. they didn't understand what was being said to them and their interpreters. all of those issues have resulted in all this huge waste of money.

one bit of the �*s public sector that did work well was the nhs. nhs pay rise
