sit in place so a lot very keen to sit in place so a lot of fine weather in the outlook and in reasonable temperatures. just the chance of a northerly wind across eastern counties later in the week, killing things a little. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... crowds continue to gather outside kabul airport, amid reports of chaotic scenes — as the us advises its citizens not to travel there until they are asked, because of security threats outside the gates. senior taliban figures — including the group's co—founder, mullah baradar — are in kabulfor talks about establishing a new government. greece has erected a 25 mile fence on its border with turkey amid warnings of many afghan civillians fleeing their country. there have been clashes between australian police and anti—lockdown demonstrators in sydney and melbourne. animal welfare campaigners have welcomed new government proposals to stop puppy smuggling.

in15 minutes... in 15 minutes... sports day. now it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review with me, anna smith. i'm filling in for mark kermode to review this week's releases. if you're going to make a movie about an eccentric truffle hunter searching furiously for his stolen pig, then surely you want to cast nicolas cage. whistling.

in pig, he plays a disheveled hermit who lives in the oregonian wilderness with his beloved foraging hog. when she's taken in a violent kidnapping, he doesn't stop to nurse his wounds.

he heads straight into town. haunting the restaurants and bars of portland, this christ—like spectre will stop at nothing to find his pig. he'sjoined in his search by alex wolf's truffle dealer, who lives in the shadow of his rich father. pig is billed as a thriller, but i think that's a misleading label. while there's some suspense, this is a gently paced story about the bond between human and animal, and the extraordinary power of sensory memories. like our hero, the script has little time for the pretensions of high—concept dining, but it has a great respect for the art of cooking. you can almost smell the truffles coming off the screen. and cage is tremendous — his dejected but proud figure consumed with the sadness that becomes infectious. pig really sneaks up on you emotionally. this delicate, delicious debut from michael sarnoski just opened at the edinburgh international film festival and is in cinemas now. you can consume it on digital from the 23rd of august. phone rings. who is this?

static. owen? is that... i can't hear you. look out of the window. next up, a psychological horror, the night house. rebecca hall stars as beth, a teacher who is reeling from the sudden death of her husband, owen. she's left alone in the lakeside home that they shared, having vivid nightmares about a ghostly presence. rummaging around in owen's belongings, she finds sketches that tell a very strange story and tries to investigate while navigating her grief. there are plenty of effective scares in this film from director david bruckner, who helmed the rural horror, the ritual. figures flicker and loom in the shadows, and sudden sounds will have you jumping out of your seat. but the script also explores beth's internal fears. she is terrified to discover that she may not have known her husband as well as she thought. and she's also scared

of her own mind. it's a potent combination, and it requires an excellent actress to pull it off. luckily, rebecca hall is exactly that. i've loved her in everything from ben affleck�*s the town to angela robinson's professor marsden and the wonder women. she even brought a touch of class to godzilla versus kong. as beth, she's mesmerising, darting between denial, confusion and gallows humour — something that makes her colleagues visibly uncomfortable. after a terrific first two acts, the conclusion of the night house is convoluted and slightly disappointing.

but i would still absolutely recommend this to horror fans who think that complex characters and psychological puzzles are just as important as bumps in the night. owen? it's in cinemas now. if you fancy a double bill of complex horrors, then there's a fascinating new british chiller called censor. set amid the moral panic around so—called "video nasties" in the 1980s, it stars niamh algar as enid, who works as a film censor. enid spends her working day watching graphic films to classify them for release. quiet and hard—working, enid's tragic past comes back to haunt her when one film reminds her of her missing sister. our mild—mannered heroine begins to unravel and move from

the safety of the screening room into the seedy world of low—budget horrors. censor is a film of shocking twists and turns. so i won't to divulge much more of the plot. but i will say that it proves niamh algar to be a very versatile performer and barely recognisable from her other recent roles in raised by wolves. and calm with horses. there's also a darkly funny turn from michael smiley, who is so great at being humorously sinister. who's this? this is enid bayne, she is one of our censors. censor announces director and co—writer prano bailey—bond as a major talent who plays with intriguing ideas of visual flair. this story explores mental health and memory as well as politics, the media and power systems. there's a lot to chew on,

and while this one's ending might also have you scratching your head, it's definitely a conversation starter. censor is in cinemas now. i need everyone's attention! hey, do you mind? i am trying to get my kids to sleep in here. oh, no! now i'm up all night. thanks. if you are after something a bit more cuddly you can watch at home at the kids, why not try the animated comedy extinct? basically, the story of time travelling talking doughnuts, extinct is bill and ted meets the secret life of pets with a dash of horrible histories. starting in 1835 in the galapagos islands, it introduces a species of animals called flummels. they're furry and round, with a hole in the middle. two of their number, siblings op and ed, end up plummeting through a mysterious time portal into future. discovering that flummels are now extinct, they hop through time

and try to save their species. while extinct even features charles darwin... you get everyone to the beach, we'll meet you down there after we get the darwin guy's attention with the sky flowers. s ky flowers ? ..i wouldn't come here for insight into actual natural history or indeed quantum physics, but it's a witty, cute watch with a boundless supply of sight gags and characters who are amusingly slow off the mark — something that's usually a winner with kids. it's just landed on sky cinema and now. you're going on a journey, a journey through memory. all you have to do is follow my voice. i'm a fan of the tv series westworld, so i've been looking forward to reminiscence, a film written and directed by its co—creator, lisa joy. the dystopian sci—fi stars huthackman as nick, a detective living in a post—apocalyptic miami. along with his co—worker,

played by thandiwe newton, he helps clients recover their memories, whether they want to recall a loved one or just find their keys. that's actually how nick meets may, by played by rebecca ferguson, a glamourous singer who disappears out of nick's life as quickly as she appeared. nick's search for her takes him in a dangerous and emotionaljourney. this has a great cast, and there are some fun ideas for fans of time—twisting tales, but sadly, the film just doesn't come together. both the dialogue and narration feel mannered and unoriginal. and while this eventually subverts some well—worn cliches, it does so very late in the day, so for most of the film they feel like exactly that — cliches. and by inviting you to recall everything from westworld to blade runner, reminiscence comes up very short in comparison.

all you have to do is follow my voice. it's in cinemas now. we'd like to formally welcome you to japan. ok, are you saying the same thing he said or is that to...? yeah. ok, first of all, we would like to... to him, yeah? yes. ..formally accept your invitation to your country and show you a little bit of what we have to offer. she speaks japanese. they sing and rap. finally, a much—loved

tv mockumentary comes to the big screen in peoplejust do nothing: big injapan. do you want to run through security at the exact same time? i'd love nothing more. three, two, one... the series peoplejust do nothing catalogued the struggles of a fictional pirate radio station called kuru pt fm. openly influenced by the office, mc grindah and his hapless crew put the brent in brentwood with hilarious results. the cinematic debut uses a similarformula within a fish—out—of—water scenario. discovering that their track has been used on a japanese game show, the boys fly to tokyo, where they're thrown into the clutches of a smooth manager played by ken yamamura. meanwhile, their self—appointed manager chabuddy, played by asim chaudhry, gets into a series of disastrous mishaps. the culture clash comedy is fitfully amusing and will probably date quite quickly, but as ever this draws a steady stream of laughs from the sheer stupidity of its lovable characters, from delusional, self—aggrandizing grindah, played by allan mustafa, to amiable stoner steves, played by steve stamp. after watching these fellas many times from this very sofa, ifound it a real treat

to laugh along with the crowd in the cinema, where it's showing now. thanks for watching the film review with me, anna smith. i'll be back next week. in the meantime, stay safe. ragga rap. would you like to translate for them? i'm not sure i can. . too big to translate. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm holly hamilton. the hundred reaches boiling point — as oval invincibles claim cricket's newest crown.

it's tough at the top in carnoustie — with 8 different leaders on day three of the women's open. and manchester city are out of the blocks as jack grealish gets his goal with a thunping win over norwich at the etihad. hello and thanks forjoining us. and after 66 matches, it all comes down to the two games that really matter. the finals of cricket's newest tournament — the hundred. both the men's and women's taking place at lords today — for the latter— an historic day — the first ever domestic women's final at this famous ground. it was southern brave vs oval invincibles — did fortune favour the brave or were the invincibles unstoppable? stuart pollitt reports.

going out with a bang. lord's hadn't seen anything like this before.notjust the music and the fireworks. but — after two centuries — the hundred became the first female domestic final held at the home of cricket. the oval invincibles were put in to bat by favourites southern brave who dominated the group stage. dane van niekerk soon found her range —she top scored with 26. marizanne kapp matched van niekerk�*s score — her late blows lifted the invincibles to i2i—6.dani wyatt came out arms whirring to begin the chase. but the invincibles had kapp in hand.

wyatt soon walking back — out for a duck.
