there is a let there is a lot of the offing, but there is a lot of appreciation for gareth southgate, and he has been on an amazing roller—coaster now because of his errors in 96, which provides a beautiful narrative to ken for this, but i really like the way that people are responding to his leadership, saying that they were she was in the cabinet, of course they are saying that, but i am really liking that, that it is not all about the wags, we know that football has brought with it, and he seeing enough of all that, let's go back to almost old school preparation, it isjust back to almost old school preparation, it is just about the team as one unity, and we are seeing the fruits of that now on the pitch. it has been a while, caroline, since we heard the term, wags! thank you both, caroline frost, tony grew, thank you for sharing your sunday evening with us on bbc news. and thank you forjoining us. from all of us here on the bbc news late

team, cheerio. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. french exit, a dark comedy starring michelle pfeiffer, is finally making a glamorous entrance to uk cinemas this weekend. it's all gone. i spoke to you about this

as a possibility for seven years. and then an eventuality for three. what did you think was going to happen? frances, what was your plan? my plan was to die before the money ran out, but i kept on not dying and, here i am. based on the novel by patrick dewitt and directed by azazeljacobs, it stars pfeiffer as deliciously curt manhattan socialite, frances price. after her wealthy husband dies, frances is forced to sell up and decides to move to an apartment in paris with her grown son malcolm, played by lucas hedges. there's also a key role for a pet cat, so this is a fittingly feline move for the former catwoman. what's she paying you? paying me? aren't you her gigolo? oh, god no. that's my mother. it's not clear exactly when french exit is set, but the transatlantic ship journey to paris lends a pleasingly old—fashioned flavour.

in fact, this emerges as the strongest sequence, despite one or two amusing set pieces later. frances clearly finds her son's complicated love life rather dull and i would have to agree, although i did enjoy an understated turn from danielle mcdonald as a psychic he has a one—night stand with. i've only been unlucky, but i have a sense that this will change suddenly and permanently. anyway, that's what i tell myself. but this is pfeiffer�*s show. she brings a seductive quality to dewitt�*s stylised dialogue and a tinge of sweetness and regret to the withering, wearily cynical barbs. i've been incredibly lucky at times and tragically unlucky at others. french exit is a strange, slightly morbid film that won't be for everyone, but it has its pleasures for fans of pfeiffer, black comedy, and black cats.

what happens if you get slightly drunk at work every day? four teachers find out in the oscar winner, another round. helmed by celebrated danish director thomas vinterberg, another round stars mads mikkelsen as a dejected history teacher who agrees to join his mates in an experiment. inspired by a theory that modest inebriation increases creativity and opens the mind, they decide to maintain and monitor blood alcohol levels during the day, secretly swigging at school. at first they see some results. lessons definitely get livelier.

and when they up the ante, there are laugh out loud moments. look out for a side—splitting scene in the supermarket. but there are of course downsides to the idea, and i think another round is best in its contemplative moments, pondering on drinking culture, friendship and mental health. nevertheless, compared to other vinterberg films, from festen to the hunt, it is a little on the slight side and i'm still surprised by its success at the bafta film awards and the oscars where it beat powerful international features such as collective and quo vadis, aida. but it's an enjoyable film that's sure to be an art—house crowd pleaser. another round is in cinemas now and there's also a remake in the works with leonardo dicaprio hired to play the lead. whether they call it drunk teachers remains to be seen. onto a slasher horror movie with a twist — it's also a body swap comedy.

good morning! that's me, millie. ordinary, boring millie. honestly, if this was a horror movie, i'd be one of the first to get killed. like i said... girl screams freaky stars catherine newton as millie, a high school student who accidentally trades bodies with a serial killer known as the blissfield butcher, who's played by vince vaughn. the switch happens after the butcher has attacked millie, so when she rocks up to school acting very differently to usual, her classmates assume she's in shock rather than, you know, a middle age murderer in the body of a teenaged girl. meanwhile, millie wakes up as a wanted man in desperate need of a shower and must persuade herfriends to help her. feel our glory and our might! writer—director christopher landen, who wrote four paranormal activity films and directed happy death day, among many other things, balances gore and scares with a witty, contemporary take on the body swap genre.

the title is a nod to the freaky friday movies which centred on a mother and daughter. but the gender swap allows freaky to look at the different powers wielded by a burly white man and a pretty young woman. even if it spells it all out in ironic capital letters. i want my body back. come and get it. freaky also touches on gender identity and sexuality. though thankfully it's less like 2002's similarly themed the hot chick and more likejumanji, welcome to thejungle, when jack black was the avatar of a teenage girl. have you ever seen me dressed like that? i mean, i kinda like a lot of what he's doing with it, but the point is that you've never see me dressed like that. both vaughn and newton give it their all, with amusing support from misha osherovich as millie's gay paljosh and celeste o'connor as their woke friend nila, who josh affectionately calls �*the word police'. the result is a slasher comedy that's both nostalgic and contemporary with crossgenerational appeal.

the casting of alan ruck, who played ferris bueller�*s best friend, as a bullying teacher, is a nice touch. freaky is in cinemas now. and if you'd rather watch a slasher flick in the safety of your own home, there's an entirely unrelated new trilogy on streaming. fear street part one, 1994, is on netflix now. at music festivals, i've been known to go out of my way to avoid the band idles, having dismissed them as shouty, testosterone—fuelled rock. but a new documentary has made me see them in a different light. # my mother worked 15 hours, five days a week. # my mother worked 16 hours, six days a week. # my mother worked 17 hours, seven days a week. # the best way to scare a tory is to read and get rich. my mum wanted to really be the best mum in the world,

and she loved me more than anybody else could have in the world. but she didn't love herself, and, she ended up dying because of that. don't go gentle, a film about idles, is a portrait of eccentric bristolians who have as much sensitivity as they do testosterone. it's an intriguing juxtaposition that's apparent in their lyrics, once you actually listen to them. director mark archer seems more interested in the characters than the process of their songwriting, using candid interviews with individual band members. won't be able to repeat any of that. laughter their talk of love and loss contrasts with footage of them messing about on stage, play fighting and indulging in antics too crude to describe here. this next song is called... heckling in audience white privilege, how apt? perhaps it's this very contrast that's attracted such an ardent fan base of women and men. they're called the af gang and they share their feelings and secrets with each other as well as their idles fandom. felt like i really belonged to something.

so while it's far from a perfect music doc, this is an entertaining and thought—provoking study of modern manhood in all its excess and fragility. it's in cinemas now. finally, get your leopard print and your shoulder pads out for lady boss, the jackie collins story. girls, when they leave for school, should be taught that in life they can do anything. i really have this strong belief that women can do anything. girls can do anything — that was her motto. girls can do anything. girls can do anything. girls can do anything. women can do anything. as much as she was saying that to everybody else, she was consistently saying it to herself. initially best known as the younger sister of actress joan collins, jackie started penning racy novels in the �*60s and became a hugely successful author in the �*80s and beyond. i remember books like chances and lucky being passed around on the school bus and we didn't have to search too hard

for the naughty bits. but this doc from laura ferry looks behind the bunk busters, exploring jackie's childhood and success with one fabulous secret weapon — joan collins herself. and she said, "one day i'm going to write a book about all this". and i said "well, i think that's a great idea. �*cos, you know, what hollywood is really like". the dynasty star offers up choice anecdotes about jackie's time in hollywood, where she took mental notes on the wild parties that would form the basis of novels like hollywood wives. excerpts from jackie's handwritten diaries paint a portrait of a complicated young woman who was in the shadow of her beautiful sister. while joan speaks affectionately of jackie, who sadly passed away in 2015, other interviews range from the glowing to the positively snide. archive tv footage shows jackie being besieged by angry women while defending her position as a feminist who aimed to liberate women with erotic fiction. men, as far as i could tell, had it all their own way. ultimately, lady boss

is as star—studded, fascinating and funny as you'd expect from a doc about jackie collins, even if it's not quite as hilarious as that french and saunders sketch in the �*90s. it's in cinemas now. thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. mark kermode will be back next week. meantime, stay safe. are you a poet? i work in finance. there is, ifeel, a certain poetry in numbers. gross. what did you say? i said gross. sunday evening showers brought flash flooding to edinburgh with widespread thunderstorms because we have low pressure sat on top of the uk which is with us through the day ahead. we are watching this developing area of low pressure bringing some more persistent rain in later.

still plenty of showers as we get going on monday morning, perhaps some in the south and east as well as those close to the weather system in the north, so a mild start to the day. but it looks as if we will see more sunshine, compared with sunday across the southern half of the uk, still showers in northern england, northern ireland, north wales and scotland with mist and low cloud near the coast, and some of those will turn out to be heavy with some thunder. you cannot rule out the odd one further south but fewer than we saw during sunday. some strong sunshine but look at this coming in from mid—afternoon to the south and west. more strong sunshine, so high levels of pollen, grass pollen at this time of year for many, something to be aware of if you are heading off to wimbledon, for the day. quite a lot of dry weather for the most part, but, come the evening, we will see those clouds thickening, and rain rolling in, and that is a risk for tuesday as well. i wouldn't like to rule out showers on wednesday and thursday but this is the low pressure we had been watching, there is scope

for torrential downpours with localised flash flooding in the north and then this system comes in sweeping rain across england and wales during the course of monday evening and overnight, so several hours of quite heavy rain but also some unseasonally windy weather, gale force winds and gusts of 40—50 mph inland. that is unusual for this time of year and combined with the rain could cause some disruption. further north and west, some showers around on tuesday, low pressure making its way to the north sea, dragging rain up across the east coast of england and scotland with showers following on behind, so the pattern remains quite unsettled, some sunshine in between 18—19, so not quite as high as the day ahead. that low pressure starts to drift and fill further north and east, so the isobars overnight not as windy by the time we get to wednesday and thursday, and in fact a ridge of high pressure starts to build, dampening down the shower activity but still some

in the forecast until later in the week. this is bbc news i'm geeta guru—murthy with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. south africa's former president jacob zuma says he'll defy a court order to hand himself in to start a 15 month jail sentence. he also said that he was not scared of going to jail, he's been there before. at this time around, he refuses to go because he believes that it was an injustice to be sentenced to an injustice to be sentenced to a prison term without having gone to trial. all covid restrictions could be lifted, later this month in england — including the use of face coverings. afghanistan's troops patrol their country alone — as the final nato forces pull out after nearly 20 years.
