still very scared and don't quite know what to do. entire villages are still under water at the moment. rescue operations are ongoing and continued through the night. the focus is to try to help children, the elderly and people with disabilities. on top of that, divers are being deployed to look for people who might be trapped by water. those rescue operations are extremely difficult because so many roads and routes are flooded, entire towns without electricity or phone signal. the italian prime minister held a crisis meeting and said the government is getting ready to approve emergency aid. people here told us that they are very disappointed with the government response. this shows is that they are trying to get rid of the water that has flooded their homes with pots and pans and buckets and anything they can find but there has been zero help from the government

officials. authorities are warning people to be extremely careful because more rain is expected in the coming days which means that this emergency is farfrom coming days which means that this emergency is far from over. coming days which means that this emergency is farfrom over. the latest they are as that clean—up operation begins but as we are hearing, farfrom operation begins but as we are hearing, far from over. operation begins but as we are hearing, farfrom over. 13,000 now evacuated from that area. you're watching bbc news. something entirely different, one of the few sit down interviews he has given that the cannes film festival, johnny depp has been speaking to bbc news about his return to cinema after a three—year gap. the hollywood star was sidelined by the film industry and dropped from a majorfilm film industry and dropped from a major film franchise after a high—profile legal battle with his ex—wife amber heard. they abuse allegations. johnny depp came to can creating a lot of excitement. a star of the opening night film jeanne du

barry. jeanne du barry isjohnny depp's first majorfilm barry. jeanne du barry isjohnny depp's first major film role in three years having been sidelined by the movie industry because of his legal battles with his ex—wife amber heard, involving abuse allegations. to his critics, he is a pariah, a controversial figure and a domestic abuser who should not be embraced. but many in the film industry here do welcome his return, as do his fans. and you've got a standing ovation that was apparently seven minutes long. do you view this as your, kind of, comeback role in a way as people in the press are seeing it? no, i always... i mean, comeback is a weird thing because... he never left. no, i didn't go anywhere, you know what i mean? i mean, people may have made sure that i was not looked at favourably. powerful press, powerful media,

this, that, for whatever reasons, i suggest that before people start pointing fingers and making judgments on others that they have no idea about, i would say take one day... everybody, take one day off of work. stay at home. start your investigation of everyone in your family. start with your father. look way back. dad's always been a, just a wonderful guy. has he? your uncles? look at your brothers. look around you first before you start passing judgment on someone that you have no idea what that person has been through, who they are. there are complaints about you being a controversialfigure, and therefore the film should not have been included in the cannes film festival. what are your thoughts about that? it's none of my business. i am the director. it's really none of my business.

and i never hear about the movie has his place here. never. um. i mean, there's. .. i have... why? i mean, what? i mean, at least i was probably more, far more controversial many years ago than anything now. but, listen, you know, things go in whatever direction they go. and more than anything, all the weirdness has been cleared up. so it's done, and that's why... i'm certainly not going to let this allow, this thing to sort of define anything that i've done before. anything that i'm doing now or what i'm going to do, it doesn't exist for me any more.

reviews for depp injeanne du barry were mixed, some stating he looked uncomfortable in the role. but, more importantly, cannes was not a public relations disaster for him. he also just renewed an endorsement deal with the fashion house dior and is raising money to direct a new film starring al pacino. tom brooke, bbc news, cannes. johnny depp saying he has knocked back because he never went away. it was reported in the programme earlier that sting is being rewarded with a prestigious award, the ivor nover with a prestigious award, the ivor novello fellowship award, joining the likes of eltonjohn and paul mccartney so what better way to finish the show today then one of the classics. headlines up for you next. # every breath you take

together and shovelling moisture together and making showers. they will not be thundery but some of them could be quite sharp. temperatures in the high teens, should feel quite pleasant and tonight that with a friend continues to push southwards across scotland into northern england and north wales by the end of the night. temperatures round about eight celsius for most of us so, not too cold start of the day on friday. then some spots of rain across central and eastern england. some sharper showers around as well through the afternoon. scotland and northern ireland will have more in the way of sunshine so it should feel a bit warmer here. temperatures reaching around 18 in glasgow. still, high teens for england and wales is not feeling too bad. into the weekend, that nasty area of low pressure looks like it is going to bring flooding to parts of italy.

then we will start to draw in easterly winds around its periphery so it has a distant effect on our shores because we will be dragging some slightly milder air in across england and wales where there should be some warm sunshine. scotland and northern ireland cloudier with spots of rain. temperatures for most in the high teens to the low 20s and where the sunshine comes out it will feel pretty pleasant. the second half of the weekend with the most cloudy weather across western areas, some spots of rain, nothing significant, england and wales, largely dry and feeling pleasant with hazy sunshine as temperatures can reach the high teens to low 20s.
