8:32 pm
tell you, i have been around and about the south coast all this weekend and i havejust about the south coast all this weekend and i have just been inundated by people walking up in the street and saying to me, penny has to be our next by minister, she is literally the only one who can do it. people have that belief in her, they understand she has got the right motives, the right values, the right motives, the right values, the right strength and other people see that as a threat and it saddens me enormously that the way they deal with that is by coming out to attack her. �* , ., ., , , with that is by coming out to attack her. , her. but it is not nonsense, is it was back _ her. but it is not nonsense, is it was back if— her. but it is not nonsense, is it was back if somebody _ her. but it is not nonsense, is it was back if somebody is - her. but it is not nonsense, is it was back if somebody is claims | her. but it is not nonsense, is it i was back if somebody is claims not to have said something and there is clear evidence that they have and basically they are backtracking on their stance on gender ideology, for example, and also the suggestion that she has at times exaggerated her involvement with the armed forces. ~ ., her involvement with the armed forces. ~ . , ., �* forces. well, i mean, i “ust don't reconigse — forces. well, i mean, i “ust don't recognise what i forces. well, i mean, i “ust don't recognise what people i forces. well, i mean, ijust don't recognise what people are - forces. well, i mean, ijust don't recognise what people are saying forces. well, i mean, ijust don't- recognise what people are saying and as baroness susan williams of trafford, who has been an equalities minister now since i was an equalities minister way back in 2015, she said that penny's on account of what happened in the
8:33 pm
equalities department is the correct one and i have every reason to believe baroness susan williams because she is an incredibly credible sauce. i have worked with her myself, i have stood in neighbouring parliamentary seats and fought neighbouring parliamentary seats now for nearly 20 years, that is how old i am, and i can tell you that her work ethic and her dedication to service is second to none, but i also served alongside her as a minister in the department of pensions and i saw her dedication there. she is the only person i have seen as disability minister stand up and that did leave an impression, but she has been talking about tax cuts, which... some of her fellow mps she has been talking about tax cuts, which... some of herfellow mps in this debate said, look, this isjust going to lead to more inflation. we cannot afford it. that looks terribly naive and a little simplistic.— terribly naive and a little simplistic. terribly naive and a little simlistic. ., ~ , ., ., simplistic. no, i think you are wronr. simplistic. no, i think you are wrong- i— simplistic. no, i think you are wrong. i think— simplistic. no, i think you are wrong. i think actually - simplistic. no, i think you are wrong. i think actually what i simplistic. no, i think you are l wrong. i think actually what she hasn't been promising some of the world tax cuts you've been hearing
8:34 pm
from others, which she has been saying is very targeted. penny is very much what you might call a small state tax conservative, but what she has been saying is we really need to use the levers of government to support people, families, households, families, jobs and livelihoods to get to where they need to, so she is talking about noninflationary tax cuts, so things like 50% of vat on fuel, which is a really good thing because that will reduce the cost of food, for example. a part of the reason inflation is so high is because of the cost of food going up and part of that is because it costs so much to get it to the supermarkets via the lorries, so that is all noninflationary costs, so i actually think that what penny is saying makes an enormous amount of sense and it's not an inflationary tax. finally, about the format. how concerned were you that they were able to ask each other questions? because it does expose, you know, some rather toxic rivalry sometimes
8:35 pm
between them. it is some rather toxic rivalry sometimes between them-— between them. it is certainly novel, isn't it? i have _ between them. it is certainly novel, isn't it? i have never— between them. it is certainly novel, isn't it? i have never seen - between them. it is certainly novel, isn't it? i have never seen that i isn't it? i have never seen that before and interesting what everybody asked. that was an eye—opener for me. everybody asked. that was an eye—openerfor me. it made everybody asked. that was an eye—opener for me. it made a everybody asked. that was an eye—openerfor me. it made a change, though, and it is interesting to see what everyone else regards as the other�*s achilles' heel. i think we all have to remember and keep the front of our minds that once this is all done, we have to do all come together and work together in the best interests of the country, which is why when penny talks about teamwork and her campaign being not so much about the leader and more about the ship of her leadership, thatis about the ship of her leadership, that is where i think we really need to focus because we need to bring everyone together, unite the party because we know that we are the only ones who can really lead in the best interests of the country.— interests of the country. caroline dinenage. _ interests of the country. caroline dinenage, thank _ interests of the country. caroline dinenage, thank you _ interests of the country. caroline dinenage, thank you very - interests of the country. caroline dinenage, thank you very much. | we can speak now to rachel maclean mp, tory mp for redditch. thank you forjoining us.

she supports kemi badenoch. kemi badenoch said she was not ashamed of anything she did in boris johnson's government. that might surprise people, given that boris johnson has left in the way that he has. , ., ., ., ., has. yes, we have all followed the events of the _ has. yes, we have all followed the events of the last _ has. yes, we have all followed the events of the last couple - has. yes, we have all followed the events of the last couple of - has. yes, we have all followed the | events of the last couple of weeks. i think it is a couple of weeks early, it has been a relief to time, and kemi badenoch was one of the people who took the decision to resign from government. i did the same thing and a number of us did and that is why we have got to this situation, but we knew do need to look at it in the round. obviously borisjohnson did give the benefit of the doubt because of his considerable achievements, which we shouldn't minimise. every single candidate at one point or another in this race has said that... but candidate at one point or another in this race has said that. . ._ this race has said that... but why didn't she — this race has said that... but why didn't she resign _ this race has said that... but why didn't she resign sooner? - this race has said that... but why didn't she resign sooner? why i this race has said that... but why i didn't she resign sooner? why wasn't she ahead of the curve? if she was that concerned in the end, this had been brewing for a long time. yes. been brewing for a long time. yes, and of course _ been brewing for a long time. yes, and of course all _ been brewing for a long time. yes, and of course all of _ been brewing for a long time. yes, and of course all of us _ been brewing for a long time. us: and of course all of us had to make thatjudgment and it is extremely
8:37 pm
difficult to resign from government. i have made the point that kemi badenoch really was one of the first ones to resign on that day. a number of us resigned on match day. she was ahead of the curve then. every single candidate in the race will have to account for that any race. there are a couple of candidates who are still in their government positions. kemi badenoch has left, she has not gone back there, but as i said it is always a judgment between giving the prime minister the benefit of the doubt, he came to us and said he was going to improve things, i have been in the media countless times defending boris johnson because of its record, but ultimately with the final issue that we all face, we all saw how it played out with the deputy chief whip, it wasjust played out with the deputy chief whip, it was just completely unacceptable. i personally could not serve following that and neither could many others, so really i think we have to move on now and that is why i'm supporting kemi badenoch. i think she is a completely new person, she is the insurgent candidate, she has only been in the race just over candidate, she has only been in the
8:38 pm
racejust over a week, candidate, she has only been in the race just over a week, she candidate, she has only been in the racejust over a week, she has made enormous progress in this race because she is talking about something completely new. she is the only one, i think, that can break from the past. she doesn't have the baggage. she can present a fresh approach to the country and i believe strongly that that is what we as a party need and what we as a country need to tackle this incredibly difficult issues of cost of living. incredibly difficult issues of cost of livina. ,, . , incredibly difficult issues of cost of livina. ,, ., , ., ., of living. she has mentioned a number of _ of living. she has mentioned a number of times, _ of living. she has mentioned a number of times, we - of living. she has mentioned a number of times, we got i of living. she has mentioned a l number of times, we got brexits done. well, of course we know that is not entirely true because still there are these issues over the northern ireland protocol and the country is still divided. how can she be a figure of unity, to stop thinking about everyone in terms of being a remain or a lever, when shebelieves and keep saying we have got brexits done and it is not successful for a lot of people, i just don't agree with the sort of way you have put that question, actually. shrill way you have put that question, actuall . �* ._ way you have put that question, actuall . �* ., , actually. all the way through this cam aiun, actually. all the way through this campaign. she — actually. all the way through this campaign, she has— actually. all the way through this campaign, she has said - actually. all the way through this campaign, she has said yes, i actually. all the way through this campaign, she has said yes, she| actually. all the way through this i campaign, she has said yes, she was a brexiteer, she voted to leave, but
8:39 pm
we have left the european union, we left when boris johnson we have left the european union, we left when borisjohnson became prime minister, he delivered that, that is why we have all said he deserves huge credit for that, it is what people voted for and gave us all that huge mandate. of course we all now have to move on and harness the benefits of brexit and one of the things kemi badenoch is talking about is having economic office to actually drive productivity, enable business to create those well—paid jobs the country needs and she has been clear throughout this campaign this is not about leave or remain, we are all one party, we have had that vote and debate, now it is time to move forward and make the most of brexit, whether in the field of trade deals or removing that regulation and taking on some of those innovative opportunities that brexit presents. it those innovative opportunities that brexit presents.— those innovative opportunities that brexit presents. it does appear that penny mordaunt _ brexit presents. it does appear that penny mordaunt has _ brexit presents. it does appear that penny mordaunt has a _ brexit presents. it does appear that penny mordaunt has a lot _ brexit presents. it does appear that penny mordaunt has a lot of - brexit presents. it does appear that penny mordaunt has a lot of appeal| penny mordaunt has a lot of appeal with grassroots membership. how would kemi badenoch tackle that? actually, if you look at the latest poll i saw dust this afternoon, kemi badenoch has come top way above all
8:40 pm
the other candidates. don't forget that no one knew who kemi badenoch was untiljust over a week ago. a lot of my own members in my constituency didn't know who she was. now they are starting to see who she is, they are starting to really relate and respond to her so positively because they can see she is someone who tells the truth. she is someone who tells the truth. she is not afraid to stand up and be brave and say, look, we can as government stand up and do everything. ultimately we, as conservatives, that is what we have been crying out for, we are desperate to hear this new voice, to put the past behind us, to put paid to some of the managerialism we have seenin to some of the managerialism we have seen in whitehall and back someone who is prepared to shake things up because i believe that is what this country needs to get us through this incredibly difficult period.— incredibly difficult period. rachel maclean mp. _ incredibly difficult period. rachel maclean mp, thank _ incredibly difficult period. rachel maclean mp, thank you - incredibly difficult period. rachel maclean mp, thank you very i incredibly difficult period. rachel i maclean mp, thank you very much. five out of five! we will see how this story is captain tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in our papers. our guests training us tonight
8:41 pm
are... ..anne mcelvoy, senior editor at the economist and adam payne, political editor at politics home. are producers in the news you have worked their socks off in the last few minutes to get them, so thank you to them. let's move on to other news now, and investigators in northern greece have warned people living near the site of a plane crash to stay indoors because of fears the aircraft was carrying toxic material. the flight, which came down on saturday, was transporting a cargo of weapons from serbia to bangladesh. our balkans correspondent, guy delauney, has more. this is all that is left of the soviet—era cargo plane that crashed near kavala in eastern greece. it was going to make an emergency landing at the city's airport but it didn't make it that far. local people saw the antonov an—i2 on fire as it descended. then they heard a series of explosions after it hit the ground. all eight crew on board died, and locals felt they had had a lucky escape.
8:42 pm
translation: i wonder how it did not fall on our houses, i because it came from over there. it was full of smoke. it had a noise i can't describe and went over the mountain. it passed the mountain and turned and crashed into the fields. there were flames. we were scared. a lot of cars came, but they couldn't approach because there was continuous explosions. the clean—up has been complicated. emergency workers are concerned the plane was carrying hazardous materials, with firefighters saying they felt their lips burning as they worked at the crash site. translation: instability| in the field was observed. in other words, intense smoke and heat, as well as a white substance that we don't recognise. a special armed forces team has to inform us of what it is and whether we can enter the field. the plane took off from serbia. the country's defence minister said it was transporting a shipment of arms to bangladesh. he denied there was any connection with the war in ukraine,
8:43 pm
although he confirmed that the plane was operated by a ukrainian company. guy delauney, bbc news, ljubljana. a video has emerged on social media, of a british man appealing for help, while held captive by pro—russian forces in eastern ukraine. john harding is thought to have been seized in may, when ukrainian troops surrendered in the southern city of mariupol. in the video, he urges borisjohnson to use any influence he has with president putin, otherwise he says, he faces the death penalty. tributes have been paid to the former rugby league player ricky bibey, who's died at the age of 40, while on holiday in italy. he was reportedly found dead in his hotel room in florence yesterday morning, after staff alerted police. a 43—year—old woman, thought to be his partner, is being treated in hospital for serious injuries. you're watching bbc news. time for the film review in a few moments
8:44 pm
time, it is 8:43pm. now, it's not every weekend you go for a day out and bump into a hollywood star. but that's what happened yesterday, when tom cruise was seen channelling his top gun: maverick character at a gloucestershire airshow — and rumour has it he's going to be in the uk for a while. yes, walkers in the lake district might want to keep their eyes peeled, as he's believed to be in the area filming a new mission impossible. it wasn't as easy to spot him there, though, as mark mcalindon found out. music: mission: impossible theme. i'm heading into the lake district, trying to find one of the biggest stars of the silver screen. at 11 o'clock, with the latest bbc news for cumbria, i i'm john bannister. tom cruise has again been seen arriving by helicopter to join i a film shoot in the lake district. and i have an idea where he might be. on the basis of the old adage that if you have lost something, try looking in the last place you think you might have seen it, i have come down to this farm on the edge of buttermere, where tom cruise was spotted last
8:45 pm
year and if he is here, he may indeed be here now. there are security guards staying tight—lipped, telling us absolutely nothing, and there seems to be activity on the edge of the lake behind me. a helicopter and several temporary kind of buildings thrown up on the edge. so perhaps there is something going on. excuse me, we are from the bbc. you haven't seen or heard of tom cruise, have you? we wish! you wish. would you like to see him if he was around? oh, yeah! morning. obviously, walking around the take, you have had the binoculars out. have you seen, spotted anything that might be a hollywood a—lister? i'm afraid not but obviously there's a lot going on over there with the helicopter and the stunts going on, so you never know, he could be here, again. we saw somebody on a hydrofoil. he looked about the right i stature, so you never know. he was performing really well on the lake. - it is encouraging, but i'm drawing a blank. what about in the village of buttermere itself? we are on the hunt for tom cruise. any sight or sound of him here? i haven't heard anything,
8:46 pm
no one has come in the cafe to see no one has come in the cafe to say they have seen any sight of him, but we are hoping he might come in for a coffee. what would you say to him if he came in? i'd probably be starstruck! clearly, there are people here who would love to see tom cruise, if indeed he is around, and businesses think they would benefit if they saw him as well. but if he is playing a super secret agent, well, he simply could be anywhere, and none of us would know. mark mcalindon, mission failure, bbc news. it is quite a big part of the country to keep your eye on, isn't it? now on bbc news, it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. and, mark, you're going to start with something that's quite
8:47 pm
nostalgic for some of us? well, we have an interesting batch this week. so we've got something for everyone. we've got the railway children return, which is the sequel to the much—loved classic. we have the good boss, which was spain's entry for the best international feature oscar. and we have the grey man, which is the new film by the russo brothers. but let's start with railway children return. a couple of weeks ago, lioneljeffries' original railway children was back in cinemas just for the sunday, and what a lovely timeless film it is. i think it was number 66 in the bfi's list of best british films of all time. this is a sequel set during world war ii. evacuees are sent from cities to countryside, where they're taken in by sheridan smith, who is the daughter ofjenny agutter�*s bobby, who is now the grandmother. amazing. the kids have adventures, which include chancing upon a young african—american soldier, who they find hiding on the railway. here's a clip. 0ne...two...three!
8:48 pm
screaming. stay back! i said stay back! you all kids? i are you german? no, i'm american. | look, i'm a soldier on your side. | i'm with the army up at the base. so, why are you here? a little injury. shall we call the army? no! _ no, look, i'm fine. it's bleeding. i i told you i'm fine. - i'm a soldier, believe me. i've been through much worse than a cut leg. i so, thank you all for your concerns, but you kids can be on your way. i so! — you won't see me again! why don't you want us to call the army? they could help you. look, i'm really not supposed to be telling you this, - but i'm on a mission. a secret army mission, and i can't talk about it but i need to carry on. i sol need you to tell. no—one, understand? no-oner — there are enemy spies everywhere. there's something really
8:49 pm
charming about that. "are you german?" so, they're — in the first film, if you remember, they take in one of the paper chase runners who's hurt his foot and bobby develops a friendship, and that's part of the plot. in this, the kids, once again, come to the rescue. there is a whole bunch of shenanigans that involve stopping a train with homemade signs. so there's a lot of callbacks to the original that, this time, the plot touches upon things like racism and the suffragettes, and so it's kind, you know, it's got a more modern sensibility to it with all those callbacks to the original. here's the thing — it's very, very hard to follow a film as well loved as lioneljeffries' original railway children. what this does, however, is it seems to be made by people who love the original for all the right reasons and do care about honouring the spirit of it. i don't think this is a classic, but what it is is it's a piece of family entertainment of the sort that we don't really have at the moment. i mean, nowadays, if you want the family to go and see a film, it's pretty much cgi, animation, that kind of thing, big blockbuster
8:50 pm
american productions. this feels like an old—fashioned form of entertainment that i'm kind of nostalgic for. i mean, yes, some of it's a bit creaky, yes, some of it doesn't quite come together quite as well as it could. as i said, it's not the classic that the original is, but it's made with heart and soul. the young performers are really terrific. its heart is definitely in the right place and i was just watching it, thinking, "if you were trying to get the whole family to go to the cinema, the kids would enjoy it and the older people like me would watch it, going, "i love the railway children!"" you know, i love everything about the railway children. so, it's kind of charming, and weirdly sort of out of place with modern cinema in a way which is hard to resist. you'd have to be pretty grumpy to take against it. it looks sort of quaint — quaint and and charming, and a slightly enid blyton feel to it almost. but quaint, not as a criticism, you know. it does have a modern sensibility, but it's an old—fashioned movie. then, the originalfilm was an old—fashioned movie. that was what made
8:51 pm
it so interesting. so, very different — the good boss, which was spain's entry for best international feature for the 94th oscars. it was nominated for a record—breaking 20 goya awards. its wins included best film and best actor forjavier bardem, who i think is the main reason to see it. he is the slimy boss of a provincial business that makes industrial scales. he says his workers are his family. he treats them all like his family. the company is up for a business excellence award, and so what he needs is for the company to look good. however, his right—hand man is having marital crisis and his work is falling apart. one of the employees has been sacked and has now set up a protest camp outside the factory with banners demanding justice. meanwhile, javier bardem's character is doing what he appears to have done before, which is behaving in a very predatory manner towards a young intern. so it's described by the director as a tragi—comic tale of a worn—out labour ecosystem, and that is pretty much what it is. i mean, it's a corporate satire. it takes pretty kind of familiar
8:52 pm
pops at corporate capitalism. the whole fact that they make scales is a metaphor that is very heavily overworked. i mean, the scales of justice being tipped — they kind of tramp that into the ground a little bit. but bardem is great because he has that thing about smiling, patrician, "trust me," when underneath, you know, he has the morals of a snake, and i think he plays that really well. so it is worth it for his performance. he's got an extraordinary face, hasn't he? just so watchable. expressive! with one expression, he can look nice, and yet deeply threatening. he has a very, very expressive face. the grey man. yes. so, new movie by the russo brothers, who made things like infinity war, you know, great big productions. this is adapted from an espionage novel series, which i haven't read. ryan gosling is a convict who is recruited by the cia who tell him that they want him to join an elite force, which will operate in the grey area, hence the grey man. he becomes �*six' — as he says at one point,
8:53 pm
007 was taken. he's sent on missions to terminate bad guys. the mission that we meet him on — the guy might not be that bad, and he ends up in possession of a computer drive and at odds with his increasingly sinister superiors. here's a clip. six. you want to explain whatever that was? gunjammed. it doesn't qualify. as an explanation. maybe on a secure line. i need a status report. insecure line. did the target say anything to you? well, he was dead, so...you know...no. what about pocket litter — - did you get anything off his body? six, did he have anything _ on his person that you now have that you'd like to give to me? who was he? a bad guy.
8:54 pm
last chance, six. understood. i now, that is a surprisingly low—key interlude in a movie, which for most of its running time, is big guns, bigger guns, rocket launchers, exploding helicopters, a fight in and out of a plane, an insane chase sequence that destroys most of a picturesque city, and just everything turned up to ii. it's a netflix production, it'll be on netflix in a week's time, but it's in the cinema for a week — i think it's their most expensive production. it's kind of... if what you want is to have your brain pummelled for two hours, this will do thejob. ana de armas, who of course was in no time to die, is shaping up as a great action star. chris evans is the nemesis. we know he's bad because, a, he has a very moustache a, he has a very bad moustache and, b, he doesn't wear socks, so we know immediately that he's very, very bad. laughter. the set pieces are...
8:55 pm
i mean, all the way through, the camera never sits still. it's always flying around and zooming hither and yon, even if two people are talking, the camera's zooming around. so it's a lot of visual flash. not much substance, but i kind of think you probably don't go and see the grey man for substance. what you go and see it for is big action set pieces, and it is fighty—fighty, shouty—shouty, smashy, runny, crashy, boom pretty much all the way through. laughter. i mean, there was a point in it when i thought i'm quite tired because, you know, it's like it just doesn't let up, and the fight and chase sequences, they start and then they go on, and then they go on, and then they go on a little bit more. so, understatement is not in it. how do you feel about this kind of... is this... does this look like it's your kind of film? it doesn't look restful to me. no, 0k. well, it's...| mean, i thought it was kind of funny. it's very surface, it's very empty. you kind of forget it fairly quickly, but... got to see it in the cinema, do you think, on a big screen, if it's such a big film? well, here's the thing — i did see it in a cinema, and while i was watching it,
8:56 pm
i was thinking this is working cos it's really loud and it's really big and it is boom, crashy, smashy. that said, a lot of people nowadays have sound systems connected to their televisions at home that are pretty decent, but i thought, you know, i think i probably had the best experience of it, which was seeing it in a lovely screening room, which was nice and bright, nice and loud, made no sense whatsoever, you know, but did thejob, did what it said on the tin. right. can't argue with that. those three are coming out now? yeah, they're out today. best out already? have you've seen elvis? i haven't seen elvis. ok, do yourself a favour. take my word for it. now, i know that some other critics... there is a difference of opinion here. we shall name no names. that's fine. there's difference of opinions — very simple — i'm right and they're wrong. elvis is a masterpiece. it is, as far as i'm concerned, the best film that's come out this year. baz luhrmann does... are you an elvis fan? yes, how can you not be? well, there are some who aren't. i think that the more you like elvis, the more you will like the film. i think it tells the story in a way which is really inventive, really visually splendid. i think the central performances are great.
