10:32 pm
from streaming giant to movie powerhouse is scott stuber. he's netflix's head of globalfilms and he's now one of the most powerful individuals in hollywood. in his first uk broadcast interview, he spoke to our culture editor katie razzall in los angeles. hollywood is changing, revolutionised by the streaming services which now dominate the oscars too. scott stuber is often described as the most important man in the business. the power of the dog, best picture, how are you feeling about it? i'm nervous. right, ithink, you know, whenever you've got a chance you're always nervous. 25 years since our first run together... netflix has 12 nominations — nearly half the total — for its period western the power of the dog. what will success look like for you? is it to win best picture? well, you'd love that. i think we're all going in that room, all the ten films that are nominated, with that hope and that dream. what matters whenever you're making film is can you make a film where the people involved can be considered best in class?
10:33 pm
the preparations at la's dalton theatre are beginning for an awards that celebrate the best of the movies, but with more than 200 million subscribers to netflix alone the way we watch movies has changed dramatically since the oscars started more than 90 years ago. and with the streamers only offering short cinema release at best before their films are rolled out on the small screen, some accuse them of killing cinema. well, do pardon me. even the power of the dogs star benedict cumberbatch has complained about the impact on the big screen experience. you know, he criticised you and said he felt like he was working for the goliath that is killing david. i mean, you are a film lover... did he say that? yeah, i'm afraid he did. you know, and you're the film lover. surely in your heart you want longer release times in cinemas, you want people to see films like the power of the dog in the cinema? yeah, completely. and then you think about the audience on netflix. the size of the audience for that film is huge compared to what it would be. i want you to meet my cousin...
10:34 pm
what stuber says matters. he's brought some of the world's biggest directors to netflix, including martin scorsese, who made the irishman, as well as alfonso cuaron and steven spielberg... you cannot go around saying to people that there's a100% chance that they're going to die. and big stars like meryl streep. don't look up is also nominated for best this year. do you think the way we'll watch movies will change? i mean, what will it look like in ten years and 50 years? you know, istill think the same, to be honest. i don't think there's a better version to watch a film than on a big screen, or on a big screen in your home. i don't think that those two things will change. i do think there are obviously people now who watch them on ipad or on a cell phone. does that offend you? if someone tells you they've watched... it bums me out a little bit but then i go, "well, that's their choice." what matters this week, though, is the oscars showdown in la, and the chance when it comes to best picture for netflix to prove it really does have all the power. katie razzall, bbc news, los angeles.

10:37 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are miatta fahnbulleh, chief executive of the new economics foundation, and adam payne, political editor of politicshome. hi there to both of you, thanks for joining us. let's have a quick look at what we've got on the front pages at what we've got on the front pages at the moment. let's start with the telegraph, and the remarks made by president biden after a meeting of nato leaders in brussels. mr biden said that if russia were to use chemical weapons in ukraine, the us would respond, and "the nature of response will depend on the nature of the use". the guardian leads with the same story, and it has a photo of the g7 leaders as they arrived in brussels for the nato summit. the metro leads has the headline "kiss it goodbye", as the uk announces fresh sanctions on 65 more russian companies and individuals, including the stepdaughter
10:38 pm
of russia's foreign minister, sergei lavrov. in the ft, the boss of p&o ferries admits to mps that a decision to sack 800 workers last week without unions consultation broke the law, but he insists he would do it again. leading on the same story, the yorkshire post says that unions have shared "serious" safety concerns following the sackings, suggesting that a lack of training for the replacement agency crew will mean "lives will be put in jeopardy". let us begin, and if i can begin with you in the guardian, the warning to putin over the use of chemical weapons. warning to putin over the use of chemicalweapons. president warning to putin over the use of chemical weapons. president biden said they would respond in kind — i think people are hoping he doesn't mean anyone will respond using chemical weapons, mean anyone will respond using chemicalweapons, but mean anyone will respond using chemical weapons, but that would mean there would be some kind of big response.
10:39 pm
mean there would be some kind of big resonse. , , , , ., response. yes, this is definitely a toughening up. — response. yes, this is definitely a toughening up. i— response. yes, this is definitely a toughening up, i think, _ response. yes, this is definitely a toughening up, i think, of- response. yes, this is definitely a toughening up, i think, of some l response. yes, this is definitely a | toughening up, i think, of some of the language around how nato would respond. we are a month into this awful invasion, and i think the concern is that actually, russia might try to break the deadlock, break the ukrainian population by using weapons of mass destruction and chemical weapons. this is nato saying pretty firmly that there will be severe action. no we don't really know what that action is. i think biden didn't want to be drawn on whether there would be a military repercussions, ie troops on the ground and military response. but i think without going into that detail, it was the strongest language we've heard, that the response to be proportionate and severe. so i think it does the job of signalling without necessarily committing nato to any particular course of action at this point. find

vladimir— what their response would be if vladimir putin was to use chemical weapons — vladimir putin was to use chemical weapons. similarly president zelensky has been asking for several weeks _ zelensky has been asking for several weeks now— zelensky has been asking for several weeks now for western governments to enforce _ weeks now for western governments to enforce a _ weeks now for western governments to enforce a no—fly zone, to protect ukrainians— enforce a no—fly zone, to protect ukrainians on the ground from bombs and russian _ ukrainians on the ground from bombs and russian planes. however western countries _ and russian planes. however western countries have said we will not do that because that would involve shooting — that because that would involve shooting down russian planes, which would _ shooting down russian planes, which would drag _ shooting down russian planes, which would drag nato into a direct military— would drag nato into a direct military conflict with russia. so in brussels — military conflict with russia. so in brussels today, but we saw was western — brussels today, but we saw was western leaders, all of them asked repeatedly, "what would you do if putin _ repeatedly, "what would you do if putin escalates his invasion, his attack— putin escalates his invasion, his attack and — putin escalates his invasion, his attack and deploys chemical weapons?" we haven't got a specific answer— weapons?" we haven't got a specific answer on _ weapons?" we haven't got a specific answer on that. find weapons?�* we haven't got a specific answer on that.— answer on that. and i don't think we will, not at — answer on that. and i don't think we will, not at this _ answer on that. and i don't think we will, not at this point. _ answer on that. and i don't think we will, not at this point. let _ answer on that. and i don't think we will, not at this point. let me - will, not at this point. let me bring you the metro, because they have highlighted the woman who is

allegedly the stepdaughter of sergei lavrov, russian's foreign leader. his pictures were better pictures were on the website in the last few days, i think they've been taken down. but the sense action over what they say are putin's powells, we don't know if that'll lead to any sizeable difference. i don't know if that'll lead to any sizeable difference.— sizeable difference. i think in a world where _ sizeable difference. i think in a world where nato _ sizeable difference. i think in a world where nato is _ sizeable difference. i think in a world where nato is not - sizeable difference. i think in aj world where nato is not willing sizeable difference. i think in a i world where nato is not willing to engage in military action with russia, i think one of the levers they do have is economic sanctions, and if they can target particularly those sanctions at putin and the people around him, where it will hurt the most, quite frankly, then i think that is something they are willing to do. our government was slow off the mark, a couple weeks ago we were looking at the number of people being sanctioned, it was 200
10:43 pm
and only a handful had been sanctioned after the invasion. but there's been a big step up, so i think they are about 1000 individuals and businesses that have now been sanctioned by the uk government, which i think is a big improvement, including the daughter of the russian foreign minister. so i think it is starting to try to squeeze in a way that will hopefully put discomfort and pressure on the people around putin. but whether it will in the end shift of them, given how in this they are now, i don't know. ., ~ how in this they are now, i don't know. . ,, , ., ., ., how in this they are now, i don't know. . ,, ., ., �*, how in this they are now, i don't know. . ,, ., ., a ., know. thank you for that. let's move awa from know. thank you for that. let's move away from ukraine _ know. thank you for that. let's move away from ukraine and _ know. thank you for that. let's move away from ukraine and come - know. thank you for that. let's move away from ukraine and come to - know. thank you for that. let's move away from ukraine and come to the l away from ukraine and come to the events of this week on the economic front, and on the telegraph — claims that rishi sunak is sometimes accused of — all chance of having smoke and mirrors to put their best foot forward, but has rishi sunak
