a top american general�*s confirmed one of the last military operations in afghanistan inadvertently killed ten members of an innocent family. the head of us central command said an investigation had found a drone strike killed an aid worker and nine relatives — seven of them children. france is recalling its ambassadors from australia and the united states in what it describes as an exceptional decision. the french foreign minister said the ambassadors were returning due to the seriousness of the announcement made on wednesday that australia would scrap a multi—billion dollar deal to buy french—designed submarines. the former president of algeria — abdelaziz bouteflika — has died after a long illness. he was 8a. abdelaziz bouteflika led the north african country for nearly two decades but the ailing president's decision in 2019 to seek a fifth term in office led to massive street protests.

the welsh government has announced tighter covid rules for people attending mass events. you'll need proof of vaccinations, or a negative covid test. the new controls come into force next month for venues like clubs and at sporting events. here's our wales correspondent, hywel griffith. thou shalt not pass, unless you've got one of these — not, the welsh government insists, a vaccine passport, but proof of either being jabbed or a negative lateral flow test. mandatory covid passes haven't been welcomed by the hospitality industry. at this nightclub, they say they'll comply if it means avoiding another lockdown. it's not ideal, but these are not ideal times. people come to the club. we already check their id, we search everyone. having them show a covid pass, it's not a big problem. you will go with it just to stay open? yes.
2:32 am
football and rugby stadiums will check for passes, too, but the whole system depends on people taking tests and reporting their own results. the first minister warns giving fake information could become an offence. who on earth would check someone�*s lateral flow test result? people do it now. and so it is possible for the system to be properly policed. but that isn't the purpose of the system. the purpose of the system is to help to keep wales safe and keep wales open, and the vast majority of people in wales want to play their part in doing that. safeguards like having to wear masks in shops and telling people to work from home were kept in place in wales over the summer, but they failed to stop the spread of the virus. now pressure is being felt once again in hospitals. emergency wards across wales say they are already stretched. some intensive care patients are being moved between hospitals. here in cardiff, they say
2:33 am
most of their new covid patients are unvaccinated. i mean, it makes me angry and it makes me upset. and that is because i'm seeing these people at their worst, and they are often in tears or the family are in tears, going, "i wish i'd done it," or, you know, "is it too late for me now to have it?" unfortunately, by the time you are that sick with covid, it is too late. whether making passes mandatory will prove to be a remedy may take months to discern. the new rules come into force on october 11th. hywel griffith, bbc news, cardiff. now on bbc news, talking movies.
2:34 am
hello from the rocky mountains in colorado. i am tom brook. welcome to our talking movies award season lookahead. we have travelled to the key film festival of recent days, where this years oscars race have been taking shape. it is a risky film, and for them to validate it means so much to me. from the venice film festival, festival, we hearfrom maggie she gyllenhaal, who took home the prize for her screenplay for her directorial debut. and the new zealand director jane campion who won plaudits for the for her psychological study and western, the power of the dog. it showed off the talents of its star benedict cumberbatch. i was terrified of meeting jane. you know. coming with all the respect that i have for her iconic work. and we report from the telluride and toronto film festivals, where an anecdotal documentary, flee, chronicling the plight of an afghan refugee
2:35 am
from kabul, from 25 years ago was a very solid hit. what this story does is it shows what it can do to human beings to be on the run, to flee, and how you can move on. the telluride film festival which took place earlier this month here, is a real movie lover's event. now in its 40th year. over the last decade it has began to play a very important role in the award season, in that it showcases oscar—worthy work. when people ask me what is your favourite film festival, i always say telluride because it is a real film makers�* festival. dame helen was among the stars drawn to telluride this year, notjust because she was there with her much liked british true crime caper, the duke, but because telluride is quite special. a festival that shows great movies amid a landscape of incredible beauty, interconnected by ski lifts. it is very easy, it is
2:36 am
very unpretentious. you can walk to every venue. itjust has a wonderful feel about it. so it is great to have this film here. this one—time colorado mining town turned very affluent ski resort has definitely become a key point of entry for likely contenders in the oscars race. there is a laundry list of movies that broke out here, 12 years a slave, slumdog millionaire, it has a patina of tiffany understanding of what good movies are. i'm venus. i'm serena. so, what do you think? kumar richard, a real crowd—pleaser with one telluride film that generated an oscar buzz this year for its star will smith for his portrait of richard williams, coach to his two daughters, top tennis players serena and venus williams. smith could bejoined in the best actor race by peter dinklage. the game of thrones star was very impressive in telluride
2:37 am
with a musicalfilm, cyrano. you are from belfast, where everybody knows you. belfast, a black and white film memoirfrom kenneth branagh, also generated oscars talk at telluride. it is a very personal story of his experiences as a young boy in belfast, when life for his protestant family was thrown into turmoil by the troubles in the late 1960s, before they relocated to england. will we really have to leave belfast? why did you want to tell or put together a film about this part of your life at this moment in time? i think the lockdown provoked a sense that the story of the film, which has its own lockdown, a street that has a barricade erected at either end of it, at which you have to register to get in and out of, had, for me, some resonance with the kind of life that we have had to live over the last 18 months, where old certainties are gone, and families have
2:38 am
to make quite big decisions about where they live or how they live or how they work, may change quite profoundly, so, all of those things came into my mind as i was working on this. the hand of god was another autobiographical tale from a top director creating oscars heat at telluride. it is a coming—of—age story from the academy award—winning italian director, paolo sorrentino, set in 1980s naples. he touches on the tragic death of the director's parents. for the film—maker it marks a new chapter in his career, in terms of intimate storytelling. i was tired, after 20 years, to make all these movies in the same way. it was starting to become less fun for me to make movies. so i decided to change completely the way to make a movie, and facing a different style, facing different kind kind of stories, yes, it was a different movie,
2:39 am
because it was about me, and so the involvement was different. although awards season has taken flight, it is doing so in the midst of a pandemic. at least one telluride film held a mirror to our covid—i9 times. he is in critical condition, man. a quarantine drama the same storm, featuring several well—known actors told us a series of life under lockdown, vignettes that appeared on a zoom like layout. all of the actors were taught by the director peter peter hedges to work remotely, to shoot themselves. why i wanted to get involved was the challenge of it, the risk of it, the audacity that peter had, going let's try and make some story—telling of what we have all experienced, but let's do it in a way that has been the only way we could do at that time because we couldn't meet each other, so what peter did say was, i'm going to send you the equipment, we have got the director of photography here, we have got costume here, we have got make—up, talking to each other
2:40 am
on the zoom thing, and then the fellow actors, and then you go, ok, let'sjust do it. let's see this experiment. what is so interesting about the film is that we were making it while it was being made while all of this was happening. i think for some people it is too soon. and to revisit. although i have to tell you i have had three people after the movie come up and say i didn't want to see this movie. i thought i wasn't ready for it. i had no idea that it would be so cathartic and so healing for me. being in telluride was a very positive experience, not only did it demonstrate that this award season is going to be packed with great cinema, it also proved that a well curated in person film festival can function and indeed flourish in pandemic times. although telluride does play a role in the early oscars race
2:41 am
it is really the venice film festival that gets the ball rolling with more spectacle. this year it opened one day before telluride. emma jones was there for talking movies looking for those of ns movies that had oscars heat.— that had oscars heat. benus en'o that had oscars heat. benus enjoy this — that had oscars heat. benus enjoy this american - that had oscars heat. benus enjoy this american dream l that had oscars heat. benus - enjoy this american dream again with the return of hollywood stars after a year and a half of a nightmare for the film industry. the red carpet was crammed with famous faces and the competition with award season hopefuls. one of them was the palm d'or winning directorjane campion�*s the director jane campion�*s the power of directorjane campion�*s the power of the dog, which was filmed in campion�*s native new zealand is a pandemic raised. benedict cumberbatch was our first male protagonist playing bill, rancheria viciously believes his brother's new wife, rose, played by kirsten dunst. ~ ., dunst. was terrified of meeting jane. she was _ dunst. was terrified of meeting jane. she was coming - dunst. was terrified of meeting jane. she was coming with - dunst. was terrified of meeting jane. she was coming with all. jane. she was coming with all of the —

that critics will reward in the months to come. backin back in colorado at the telluride film festival we found that documentaries this yearin found that documentaries this year in the line—up, there are more than usual, and flee was creating a lot of oscars heat. this unusual portrait of an afghan refugee who fled kabul in 1996 relies on animation, p0p in 1996 relies on animation, pop music and archive footage. the main character is a real person and it is a pseudonym to protect his identity, and the copenhagen based director has known him personally as a close friend for a long time.— friend for a long time. there is a mess — friend for a long time. there is a mess right _ friend for a long time. there is a mess right now- friend for a long time. there is a mess right now in - is a mess right now in afghanistan. it is important to get some perspective on it. and this happened 25 years ago, and with this story, we can see what it does to a human being

# no matter how i try # no matter how i try # ifind my way # ifind my way # # hello there. many of us yesterday had a decent day of weather. temperatures reached 22.3 degrees celsius in the warmest spots, but it wasn't like that everywhere. in argyll and bute, cloudy for much of the day with rain and mist and fog patches over the high ground until this happened. late on, as the weather fronts started to clear through, some of the cloud from the front was lit up by the setting sun, and it was a glorious end to the day. there is that weather front on the satellite picture, this stripe of cloud you can see here. the weather fronts associated with this cloud are particularly slow—moving, and they're going to take the whole of the weekend before they reach right the way across to the eastern side of the country. so, this weekend, mixed picture — could be a bit of rain around on saturday, but for many areas, it's a dry day. by sunday, outbreaks of rain become a bit more
2:57 am
extensive, heavy and thundery as well for some. so, as i say, a mixed fortune, really. for southern and eastern scotland, western areas of england and wales, it's a cloudy start to the day with outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, probably some mist and fog patches mixed in as well. to the east of our weather front, perhaps east wales, but definitely central and eastern england, there'll be a lot of dry weather, sunny spells and warm in that september sunshine — highs up to 23. three brighter slice of weather as well for west scotland and northern ireland, but here, a fresher feel to the weather, temperatures 17—19. now, saturday night sees heavy, thundery rain start to break out across wales, moving in across northern england, into scotland as well, so there will be some heavy downpours around. and then, through sunday, this area of heavy and potentially thundery rain will continue to push eastwards and become really slow—moving across parts of central and eastern england. there's a risk of some localised flooding, 30—110 mm possible in one or two areas. in the wettest areas, that's enough to cause some localised surface water flooding. at the same time, the western side of the country will turn
2:58 am
brighter and drier and a bit sunnier through sunday afternoon. by monday, could still be a little bit of rain left over across east anglia and the far southeast of england, but otherwise, pressure will be building across the country for a time for monday and for tuesday as well, and that means for most of us, we're looking at a fine spell of weather with sunny spells. temperatures into the high teens or even the low 20s. however, it's not going to stay that way because, into the middle part of next week, we're going to see low pressure move in, bringing some heavy rain across the country and some much windier weather on the way as well.
