lovely to see you both again. a quick look through the front pages. platinum jubilee celebrations dominate the front pages. "maj—ical" is the headline in the metro, showing the queen's appearance on the buckingham palace balcony. the queen front and centre of the daily telegraph — the paper reports on her statement to the british public, saying the monarch has reaffirmed her commitment to serve the nation. the mirror also reflecting some of that statement, and showing her alongside prince george. meanwhile, the times reports that the members of the royal family appearing on the balcony are a "message" about the future of the monarchy. and it was a slimmed—down royal family, according to the i — but the paper also looks at boris johnson's future, saying a vote on his leadership could come this week.
11:31 pm
the guardian claims the pm's allies are preparing for a no—confidence vote, and reports that borisjohnson will launch a policy fightback focusing on health and housing. that story continued in the financial times — but the paper leads with reports of a 90% drop in the value of public listings in the us and europe since the war in ukraine started. so that's a little flavour of what you'll be waking up to tomorrow. let's start with the daily telegraph. tony, it's over to you, a lovely picture there of her majesty in green and waving, as well. a surprise appearance. figs in green and waving, as well. a surprise appearance.— in green and waving, as well. a surprise appearance. as i'm sure man of surprise appearance. as i'm sure many of your — surprise appearance. as i'm sure many of your viewers _ surprise appearance. as i'm sure many of your viewers know, - surprise appearance. as i'm sure many of your viewers know, the | surprise appearance. as i'm sure - many of your viewers know, the queen was absent for most of thejubilee weekend celebrations. but she appeared at the balcony this

11:34 pm
that one of the important things to reflect on with the monarchy in britain is that it adapts, it's not the same as it was in 1952. there were elements within the government they didn't even want to televise they didn't even want to televise the coronation. so to go from that to the queen appearing with what i assume is some sort of live action paddington shows the way that the institution itself is developed and adapted to changing times. and when we look at the front page of the times, we see what the monarchy will probably look like in the future, which is fewer members, more focused on duties. ~ ., ., ~ which is fewer members, more focused on duties. ~ ., ., ,, ., on duties. what do you think about wh it's on duties. what do you think about why it's changed. _ on duties. what do you think about why it's changed, caroline, - on duties. what do you think about why it's changed, caroline, did - on duties. what do you think about why it's changed, caroline, did it . why it's changed, caroline, did it need to change?— why it's changed, caroline, did it need to change? we've talked about this in the past. _ need to change? we've talked about this in the past, the _ need to change? we've talked about this in the past, the events - need to change? we've talked about this in the past, the events of - this in the past, the events of 1997, not _ this in the past, the events of 1997, notjust the this in the past, the events of 1997, not just the tragic death of the prince — 1997, not just the tragic death of the prince of wales, but the huge people's— the prince of wales, but the huge people's reaction to it — i think the queen— people's reaction to it — i think the queen and the people and the

"this is the future of the royal monarchy," that's what's being presented. what do you think the two major future kings will bring to the table? the the two major future kings will bring to the table? the message is clearly lean. _

11:41 pm
minister's leadership and his administration has been damaged by this and it will continue to be damaged. i don't think at some point the public will turn around and say, "we've forgiven the deep hurt we've found the macro felt and we found out about these parties."- found the macro felt and we found out about these parties." looking at the financial — out about these parties." looking at the financial times, _ out about these parties." looking at the financialtimes, rebels- out about these parties." looking at the financial times, rebels closing i the financial times, rebels closing in onjohnson — what are they risking? while they wait for the bye election to make their move, using the by elections as their sounding board? —— will they wait? the by elections as their sounding board? -- will they wait?- board? -- will they wait? they've mentioned _ board? -- will they wait? they've mentioned they _ board? -- will they wait? they've mentioned they may _ board? -- will they wait? they've mentioned they may try - board? -- will they wait? they've mentioned they may try to - board? -- will they wait? they've mentioned they may try to push l board? -- will they wait? they've| mentioned they may try to push to delay— mentioned they may try to push to delay it _ mentioned they may try to push to delay it till— mentioned they may try to push to delay it till the other side of these — delay it till the other side of these lry— delay it till the other side of these by elections, they seem pretty confident that they will be able to appeal— confident that they will be able to appeal as — confident that they will be able to appeal as much with the sue gray report— appeal as much with the sue gray report allegations. what sticks in my craw — report allegations. what sticks in my craw is — report allegations. what sticks in my craw is that this is what seems to be, _ my craw is that this is what seems to be, how— my craw is that this is what seems to be, how can we better replace our ieader— to be, how can we better replace our leader to _ to be, how can we better replace our leader to ensure the continuation of the party? — leader to ensure the continuation of the party? there's not enough chat

11:43 pm
but it would be a very risky strategy. then again, borisjohnson takes risks. so there are lots of things floating around here. but like i said, the fund mental thing is this isn't a split in the party about policy or ideology, it's about the prime minister's behaviour. and that makes it interesting for me because normally leadership elections aren't about that, they are about really big splits in the party over europe or whatever. but this is about whether or not tory mps think they're better off without johnson in terms of winning the next election. but it's worth pointing out thatjohnson can decide when the next election is. it’s out that johnson can decide when the next election is.— next election is. it's about survival. _ next election is. it's about survival, is _ next election is. it's about survival, is out _ next election is. it's about survival, is out you - next election is. it's about survival, is out you are - next election is. it's about - survival, is out you are saying? effectively, yeah. me survival, is out you are saying? effectively, yeah.— survival, is out you are saying? effectively, yeah. we will leave it there. effectively, yeah. we will leave it there- what _ effectively, yeah. we will leave it there. what a _ effectively, yeah. we will leave it there. what a weekend! - effectively, yeah. we will leave it there. what a weekend! think . effectively, yeah. we will leave it | there. what a weekend! think you both very much indeed, have a cracking week ahead. that's it for the papers this evening.

until next time, goodbye. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. what have you got for us this week, mark? a very exciting week. we have men, which is a horror—inflected fairy tale. we have major, which is inspired by a true story of heroism. and bergman island — can life and art ever be separated? men — the clip of this gives me the creeps so much that i don't think i could bring myself to watch it! and you say it's some kind of fantasy horror? yes. let me try and sell it to you. so, it's by alex garland,
11:45 pm
who wrote and directed ex machina and annihilation. i think it's like a playfully twisted fairy tale about gender. jessie buckley is harper. she's come out of an abusive relationship. she decides to go off to a country retreat to what she calls the "dream country house" with the emphasis on dream, because everything about what we're looking at tells us, you know, there's an apple tree outside from which apples fall. the grass is overly green. the house itself is kind of almost blood red. while she's there, she encounters a series of men. all of them are a bit creepy and all of them are played by rory kinnear. here's a clip. what is it? what's happened? what are you doing here? has it come back? why aren't you replying?
