hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times, and aubrey allegretti, political correspondent at the guardian. scribbling away all evening repairing the front page there. tomorrow's front pages, starting with... the i paper says that sue gray's "censored" report on prime minister boris johnson is imminent. the ft says the met police is accused of a "stitch—up" over the delay to sue gray's partygate report. the times now, who comment on the anger over the delay to gray's report. the daiy mail also says criticises the delay over sue gray's report, calling the probe into parties at number 10 a "shambles".

the guardian says a redacted report from the senior civil servant is now "imminent". the telegraph, meanwhile say that energy bills will hit £1900 from april. and the daily mirrror continue with reports that oil and gas giants shell and bp are set to profit from the cost of living crisis. the daily express report on the "punishing" tax hikes to go ahead with "no ifs or buts", according to downing street. so, let's begin. i'll recommit with your paper let's kick your byline right there along with two of your other colleagues, the met police bid cut to details from the report. do we think things are going to be left out? absolutely. as we understand it sue gray he was risen to infamy given

there is possibility of monitoring on these parties in dentistry over lockdown, or report was going to go several ways number one when the met said they were trying to strike out as many references to events they were investigating as possible, we could have seen a scenario in which sue gray tried to hold back her up over several months waiting for the met division is inquiry in and publish everything she had at once in full once the met inquiry was over. what we are seeing tonight looks like it's going to happen is actually that she is going to publish this partially or heavily redacted version of the report in which a lot of the quite juicy details about who was at the gatherings exactly and when they were and where they were in some of the sort of messages exchanged in the sort of messages exchanged in the run up to them and we respect some of that now will not be published and that will be casting some concern not amongst only politicians with the public that this inquiry that was meant to get to the bottom of this issue, has

played government for months, will now not be able to turn up all the facts possible and put this issue for borisjohnson to bed and that's difficult for number ten because they will have been hoping to draw a line under this issue and it might not be as easy as they had hoped. that's the sue gray report to the telegraph is reporting that scotland yard is getting on with cutting those they might want to interview. the telegraph story is that as use of the _ the telegraph story is that as use of the metropolitan police are beginning to contact suspects in party— beginning to contact suspects in party way— beginning to contact suspects in party way affairs. and apparently they are — party way affairs. and apparently they are going to ask people to provide — they are going to ask people to provide a — they are going to ask people to provide a reasonable excuse if they are suspected to a broken lock down rules by— are suspected to a broken lock down rules by attending these parties or even organising these parties and i if they— even organising these parties and i if they cannot provide any reasonable excuse and according to this story— reasonable excuse and according to this story they will be fined. if

this story they will be fined. if that this story they will be fined. that risk this story they will be fined. if that risk of a fire which of course the metropolitan police commissioner talked about earlier that in the week when she said that these will be fixed penalty notices and i have a feeling from memory and i'm not sure if either you can recall but i think you cannot appeal. that's it but i may be wrong about that but my memory of it during a lot of the row over the regulations was there was no appeal, it'sjust over the regulations was there was no appeal, it's just a kind over the regulations was there was no appeal, it'sjust a kind of over the regulations was there was no appeal, it's just a kind of fixed penalty fine and that was it, you just had to accept it and pay it or face the consequences so intriguing if the prime minister gets one of these. let's move on to the times and anger at met party inquiry. it is hard to know who is most angry at the moment. is hard to know who is most angry at the moment-— is hard to know who is most angry at the moment. absolutely and some of the opposition _ the moment. absolutely and some of the opposition parties, _ the moment. absolutely and some of the opposition parties, namely - the moment. absolutely and some of the opposition parties, namely the i the opposition parties, namely the liberal democrats and the snp, are suspected there might be some form of foul play here in trying to concoct some anger by signalling the met might be really helping boris johnson here by being able to

relieve the prime minister of some of the maximum embarrassment he might have faced if all of the gory details of these reports might have come out. the labour leader has said he is not welcoming of the fact the report will be published full but he said a government is bogged down in politics and messes a borisjohnson poz my own making and paralyse when it should be looking at other issues including the potential looming invasion of ukraine by russia and the living cost of living crisis the premise is remote focused on. so it's very difficult one for government because on the one hand i was that they have to say that met are operationally independent and they have not been able to be drawn into any questions about how this investigation has been run by sue gray because it's purely for the cabinet office. but i know that some of the government lawyers who had been wrangling for what they should get to dentistry, there is concern the fact that boris johnson is obviously alleged to have been at some of these events in question and

some of these events in question and so there has been a little bit of nervousness about giving him the information that may then be subject to potential criminal inquiry by the police. given they are not quite sure exactly he was at what events and they don't want to give anybody any early heads up with a lot of questioning of what might be known by the officers given the evidence they receive from the cabinet office. i they receive from the cabinet office. ., ., office. i mentioned earlier the possibility _ office. i mentioned earlier the possibility of _ office. i mentioned earlier the possibility of liz _ office. i mentioned earlier the possibility of liz truss - office. i mentioned earlier the possibility of liz truss trying l office. i mentioned earlier the | possibility of liz truss trying to share her in her margaret thatcher if you go to moscow but looks like borisjohnson is doing the same as he says no it's or buts and he will not turn back from these tax hikes. with the showdown headline. this is the story that _ with the showdown headline. this is the story that he _ with the showdown headline. this is the story that he is _ with the showdown headline. this is the story that he is heading - with the showdown headline. this is the story that he is heading for - with the showdown headline. this is the story that he is heading for a - the story that he is heading for a showdown — the story that he is heading for a showdown with this to a because he promises _ showdown with this to a because he promises to— showdown with this to a because he promises to press ahead with this will b— promises to press ahead with this will b by— promises to press ahead with this will .6 by an clip with £6 billion a year national insurance height has been very popular with the tory

rise i think there is a concern in conservative circles that while obvious that this was voted through in the autumn and announced back then, people are not really going to feel the effects of it until the tax rise itself comes into effect. it's honestly i.25% rise itself comes into effect. it's honestly 1.25% national insurance increase in both for workers and companies and that's going to start a people in their pockets. and i feel for number ten in this regard because the front page was concocted out of a discussion at lobby today which was a twice to lead briefing with journalists and the prime minister boston spokesperson and went over this quite a lot because there has been concern amongst some government officials that the government is going to backtrack on this and borisjohnson use this to sort of trying to himself out of some problems and after a while, there are no plans to scrap it, someone put to them can you guarantee that no it's in no buts and they had no other choice but to say yes so this is the front page here in a nutshell.—

but for now, goodnight. welcome to the for review on bbc news and as i get through this week is marked as usual. what do we have this week? it's a packed week. we have parallel mothers which is a new film by pedro almodovar. we have a new british hurry movie, amulet. and sing 2, more singing animals. that is quite the mixture.

so, parallel mothers, lots of excitement about this latest film. and a nine—minute ovation when it premiered at venice. parallel mothers is about single mothers sharing birth together in a hospital and they give birth together and their babies go into observation and when they leave hospital they swap phone numbers. and perhaps a bit more, here is a clip.

so, that's one strand of the story. in another strand, cruz�*s character is trying to excavate a mass grave in her hometown from the civil war, so there are two stories. parallel mothers, parallel stories, personal and political, which sounds like a fascinating combination. if you think of the films of guillermo del toro, like the devil's backbone or pan's labyrinth, he's managed to do exactly that with the spanish civil war. it beautifully designed and beautifully played and a well—written script with great performances and a wonderful score. and it sounds like a perfect match. the problem for me if it is not so much parallel stories, it is tangential stories.

you have the spanish civil war story, which appears and gets sidelined. you have the personal story which is full of melodramatic contrivance which you are meant to buy into because, it serves the story. and then we move back to the spanish civil war so now i have to say i am in the minority here. most people i have spoken to think this is great. and i am a big fan and love his films, but it felt to me like this is not one of his best works. it has some great elements in it, and it has some things i will cherish, but it did feel like to films and like i said not so much parallels, but kind of tangential. fascinating. he does not usually the politics, does he? he has done political committee before, but it's never really landed for me. but this is a serious work. it is serious, and it's very personal and heartfelt. i wish i liked it more than i did. which brings me onto amulet,

which is a british horror movie written and directed in her directorial debut, and the story is an ex—soldier from an unnamed european conflict finds himself destitute in london and taken in by a nun. in a horror movie, which is never a good sign and she says i can give you a house to stay in but you have to do the house up and incidentally in the house is magda, who is her mother who is in the attic and her presence is heard through screaming and banging and there is something deeply, deeply disturbing going on. the film starts with this slow burn atmosphere and then there are a couple of creepy moments with what's going on upstairs and there's a couple of pretty good jump scares and then in the third act goes absolutely full on altered state weird. and i loved it. i thought the performances were great and i thought it was very wry and funny.

it's very grounded and it's about gender politics and it's very grounded in the gender war playing out in the house. you never know what the character's motives really are. brilliant soundtrack, and it's the first film that she has scored. a fantastic soundtrack using human voices and i don't know whether you are a horror film fan. not so much. i think you would absolutely love it. you have sold it to me. you should see it, it's really good. this is her first directorial feature debut. she has done some shorts before and i interviewed her recently, and she is a total horror fan and she knows horror inside out and you can tell when you see this it has references to possession and films that really only horror fans know, if you are not a horror fan, it's

not a horror film but it is. we have got sing 2. sing made 600 million worldwide so now we have sing 2. the film feels very much... in sing 2 you have matthew mcconaughey as buster miller who wanted to say that the editor and now he's put on a production that he wants to be picked up by the big time and they have not impressed the talent scouts but that has not taken the wind out of his sails. here is the clip. that scout did not think we were good enough. she sounds like a jerk. but she is wrong, dead wrong. there is a reason our show sold out every night and her boss will love it. maybe we could just do a different show. j i got this. seriously i have this idea for a space musical. - all right, we are rolling out. do you not want to hear about a space musical? | guys, come on! wait! listen, you guys!

i have dreamt of performing in the city since i was a little kid. and ijust convinced my husband to babysit for the next 24 hours and i am not going to waste an opportunity like that. so, come on! we've got nothing to lose! so the voice cast, everyone, reese witherspoon, scarlettjohansson, jennifer saunders, and bono as a retired rock star who he promises that he knows and says he will get him out of retirement to put on the show which he has pitched which he has not written and does not exist which is a sci—fi extravaganza, out of this world, featuring this retired rock star. so there's a lot of stuff and lots of names and lots of spectacular stuff on screen, and it's from illumination, the people that gave us the minions movies. the thing is the first film had a weirdly old—fashioned

judy garland—mickey rooney, let's do they show in a barn kind of feel, and that's what i like about it. this feels like we had a huge success, we need to do it bigger and we need to do it louder, and we need to do it more spectacular and as a result it's kind of lost some of the oddball charm of the original. and ifound myself watching it thinking i was surprised by how much i liked the original because the idea didn't sound great at all because it's garthjennings who is an interesting film—maker. but in the case of this, it's when you say no wonder we have another one, it did feel like a numbers game and it's not to say i don't think kids won't enjoy it because there's lots to distract you, but what there is not is any of that sense of timelessness, that sense of old—fashioned charm and solid storytelling. it sounds like a weird thing to say about film which features flying elephants in space but it does not make much emotional sense. it's just stuff and a lot of stuff.

bigger is not necessarily better. bigger and louder is not necessarily better. you mentioned guillermo del toro when talking about parallel mothers, and very happily the next film. best out is nightmare alley, i reviewed this last week and i think it's great. it's a remake of a 19405 film. it has a great performance by bradley cooper. cate blanchett, rooney mara, many more. what's great about nightmare alley is it a modern film, its a neo—noir and it's very dark. it's very stylish and the first half of the film takes place in a carnival and the second half takes place in the city and it's no surprise to discover the carnival is the more kind and caring part of that story.

0n the one hand it's paying tribute to the classic tribute to the classic film noirs of the �*30s and �*40s but it's also as with all of his stuff it feels very modern. and it feels, there is a piece written about it by martin scorsese about how much he loves it and i can see why because it's that kind of film, but i thought it was terrific and i'm a big fan of del toro. have you seen this? i have not, it looks beautiful. don't let that convince you that it's also, its got a lot of substance and one of the darkest endings of a film in ages. i was left at the end thinking, wow, they really went for it. you come out thinking well done. dvd streaming. censor is out on dvd. it's a feature debut. brilliantly put together. it's a story set during the 19805 video nasties.

i watched this thinking this is a film made for me and it's about a censor who starts watching video nasties and seeing in them something more than she expected. 0n the one hand, a nostalgic invocation of that particular time when video just began and the video stores were filmed with all these films that were illegal but now they were available, but also its about the way which horror cinema and her affection is a place in which you can think for yourself and which is weirdly redeeming and i say this as somebody i'm a big horrorfrom all my life. it's lovely to see a film about horror made by somebody who loves horror rather than a film made about her by somebody who thinks it's disgusting and nasty. it's a smart movie. the performance is great.

there is a brilliant performance by michael smiley and i think anybody could find something in this, but if you are a age and if you grew up with a great nostalgia for a time when things were available in your local video story, this will hit the nail on the head. thank you for all of that. bye— bye. hello there. northern parts of britain readying for a very windy weekend. we've got two separate storms which could bring some damage and some disruption. not a bad weekend, i think, further south across southern britain, closer to this area of high pressure. so, the first of the two storms moving to the north of the uk. lots of isobars on the charts, widespread gales for the northern half of the country. severe gales across scotland, gusts up to 80 mph. we've got an amber warning in force for eastern scotland, could see some impacts here. a band of cloud will sink southwards across the country, becoming confined to the south later in the day. here, it'll stay mild, but it'll be cooling down elsewhere with sunshine and blustery showers. different story on sunday. we start off with a ridge of high pressure, so it's cold,

bright with some sunshine before the next storm pushes into the north west of the country later in the day bringing widespread gales, some heavy rain and mountain snow here. it'll be a chillier day across the board on sunday. so, two storms to come for this weekend. we're going to see some disruption, particularly across the north of the country. stay tuned to the forecast.

this is bbc news, i'm lewis vaughanjones with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. after days of confusion over when the downing street lockdown "parties" report will be published, sue gray's report is now expected to be delivered without waiting for the police inquiry. the us warns the russian troop build—up near ukraine is the largest since the cold war — as attempts to find a diplomatic solution continue. we don't believe that president putin has made a final decision to use these forces against ukraine. he clearly now has that capability. more doubts emerge about novak djokovic's covid status during his attempt to enter australia for the tennis 0pen.

welcome to my...
