production side of things. so we the production side of things. so we have the green rider and the handshake agreement which says if you do this then we as actors will not demand theirs. it is not about pushing onto a production things that we think they need to change, it is about working with them to create a way that we can all make this work in a sustainable and yet excellent way at the same time. essen excellent way at the same time. even so if ouna excellent way at the same time. even so if young actor _ excellent way at the same time. even so if young actor is _ excellent way at the same time. even so if young actor is offered a role in say a james bond film, is that actor going to turn it down because their green credentials do not match his? i their green credentials do not match his? ~ . , their green credentials do not match his? ~' ., , ., ., their green credentials do not match his? ~ ., , ., ., ., his? i think what is amazing about green rider _ his? i think what is amazing about green rider is _ his? i think what is amazing about green rider is it _ his? i think what is amazing about green rider is it is _ his? i think what is amazing about green rider is it is adaptable, - his? i think what is amazing about green rider is it is adaptable, it . green rider is it is adaptable, it is not about no will not do this or cannot do this, this thing of like here's the thing i would like to present to you and i would like to work with you to achieve these things. we also have to put into context for a lot of these big budget films, they will not be to make the same kind of work in the

world that we are living in we've seen how the weather is now and seen the projection for the future and if we are not adapting to that will not be able to make them so it would be strange for these big budget feature films and anything within the industry not to be part of this movement. industry not to be part of this movement-— industry not to be part of this movement. �* , movement. but the thing is, when ou're movement. but the thing is, when you're casting _ movement. but the thing is, when you're casting the _ movement. but the thing is, when you're casting the film _ movement. but the thing is, when you're casting the film for- movement. but the thing is, when | you're casting the film for example it is not as if you have any collective action, in a sense that it is every actor for themselves to make that decision about whether they engage with the company to the agent or whatever. i'm just trying to work out how you will actually collectively go to be able to achieve this. fit collectively go to be able to achieve this.— collectively go to be able to achieve this. �* . achieve this. at the minute we have some ilot achieve this. at the minute we have some pilot programmes _ achieve this. at the minute we have some pilot programmes that - achieve this. at the minute we have some pilot programmes that we - achieve this. at the minute we have some pilot programmes that we are using the country for, so we are setting up having a member of the cast an actor with a member of equity, sustainability officer and producer, and commissioner and then once the crew in this group. the idea of the group is to have a look

at the green rider and handshake agreement and see what is agreeable for them and then they agree as to what they can achieve in the most radical version and they get that out to the producer to talk to the agent and the actress about coming on to decide what works. we have not got it perfect but it is absolutely fundamental that we do make strides to make these steps. including everyone in that conversation is how we change the culture so when someone comes in and says i have green rider the girl, yes i've heard about this, i would love to have a look at it as opposed to here is this alien thing that we feel you are attacking us with. end this alien thing that we feel you are attacking us with.— this alien thing that we feel you are attacking us with. and of course there has been _ are attacking us with. and of course there has been an _ are attacking us with. and of course there has been an attempt - are attacking us with. and of course there has been an attempt in - there has been an attempt in hollywood on as well on the screen actors guild and so forth, to do this. you have over 100 names, how many do you hope for and how quickly? and you do need the big stars? ., . , quickly? and you do need the big stars? ., ., , ., ., ., , stars? fortunately and unfortunately we live in a culture _

stars? fortunately and unfortunately we live in a culture that _ stars? fortunately and unfortunately we live in a culture that really - we live in a culture that really values the opinions of people that are in lots of films. usually because we identify with them, we identify with the characters and stories that they have made, we feel that they are part of my family and if they do something then we start to listen and immediately start to want to know more. so having so many amazing performers come on board and say this is important, it is so much easierfor us to spread say this is important, it is so much easier for us to spread the message to everyone else. easier for us to spread the message to everyone else-— to everyone else. thank you very much. that's all from us tonight. goodbye. breaking news from around the world

of the moon over the weekend. but its luna—25 spacecraft crashed into the moon after spinning out of control on sunday morning. to london now where we can speak to the first british astronaut, helen sharman. why is this part of the moon the focus of so much attention? welcomed south pole of the moon has, well, we think it has of ice. ice, of course for useful if you're going to send people to them and because they will want to drink, they will want to perhaps split the water into hydrogen and oxygen and breed the oxygen, and you can make rocket fuel from it as well. ice is good. but also that creator on the south pole of the moon has a really high ran. part of that remnant are in constant

sunlight, more or less constant sunlight, more or less constant sunlight if you put your solar power generator, for instance, up there, you're always going to be some power and what's more, we think that possibly whatever created that impact it makes the lunar crust and the upper mantle come to the surface, let's say come of that crater down below. really part date neck exciting part of the moon to go to. , , ., , , , to. this is an impressive achievement _ to. this is an impressive achievement especially l to. this is an impressive l achievement especially for to. this is an impressive - achievement especially for the indian space agency. how will this be looked at in history? that been auoin into be looked at in history? that been going into space — be looked at in history? that been going into space for— be looked at in history? that been going into space for a _ be looked at in history? that been going into space for a long - be looked at in history? that been going into space for a long time i going into space for a long time now, decades. no otherastronauts since, however, this really is a big push for them. they've decided yes

they went to have their own astronauts, and very recently it's been announced that actually next year there will be an indian astronaut or to find to the international space station and that's just a bit before they get their own space station going. so although there is excitement and ramping upfor although there is excitement and ramping up for human space flight, but for the indians to be able to land something without humans in it on the moon, i mean, landing without humans on the moon is, most people would say more difficult than landing with a crew. you've got no atmosphere to help you slow down, there's no gps on the and to give you that absolute precise location. your systems have got to workjust perfectly. he got very limited fuel to be able to have a second attempt, for instance, in the south pole is loads of hills and loads of craters. so really tricky if you don't have

that, somebody there to be able to guide something in real time of course, there is a small time to miss your systems have got to think quickly. the best can be a problem as well. if india can do this, they pulled off something that on the china and america has managed to do before. very exciting for them. helen, i think i would be lost up there without gps, so i applaud you for getting up there and doing your thing. you have a lot of insight into space. with the russian space programme having trained at star city and visited this space station. it sounds and it was once a very collaborative international effort. are you worried that that is going away, and what does science lose without that international community focused on this single eyed mission.

it's been an interesting time, hasn't it, politically, and the russians of chris become much more isolated by sanctions due to the war in ukraine. and i think that is increasing. although they are still part of the international space station. it does look like increasingly they are not included increasingly they are not included in space missions, people who were collaborating, the european space agency, for instance, and others. so, yes, it would appear that actually there has been a shift in that balance. the chinese space agency now is probably, china space capability is thought to probably be more advanced than the russians, so although i think we may well in the short—term future at least lose russia from a lot of our space collaborations, what we will do is gain a whole load more bilateral and

probably webs of multilateral collaborations. we will have india, for instance, this mission india is hoping to land up on the moon very shortly, this is hoping to prove london capability for a mission in a couple of years with the japanese. a that nation will be a spectrometer by the european space agency looking at the lunar atmosphere. so all of these in some respects we might think it's a bit of a sad time, and it is for some people and for others it's the beginning of a new era, i think. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines... russia's defence ministry says it has thwarted a ukrainian drone attack after it downed two drones over the moscow region. two other drones were intercepted over the bri—ansk region, north—east of the ukrainian border.

as a precaution — flights were temporarily stopped to and from moscow's airports early on tuesday. airspace above moscow has been closed several times in recent days as reports of drone strikes become more regular. the philippines says it's sucessfully delivered fresh supplies to a remote outpost manned by troops on a decrepit navy ship in the south china sea.manila claims beijing attempted to interfere with the mission after chinese ships fired water cannons on a number of supply boats bound for the filipino troops in the spratly islands. on the day the former prime minister of thailand — thaksin shinawatra returned from self—imposed exile — the country's parliament has approved a new coalition government. it'll be led by one of his political allies. mr thaksin is spent tuesday night in prison after the supreme court confirmed the eight year sentence that was passed down in absentia.

but most thais expect him to serve little time now he again holds political clout. it's the story that's taking the music world by storm. it involves scooter braun, the music mogul— associated withjustin bieber. he previously made headlines for a long—running dispute over taylor swift's master recordings and has now reportedly been left by two of his biggest clients, ariana grande and demi lovato. here's ehmer mccarthy. this music is mogul scooter braun, he is one of the most successful music managers in the world. you definitely know his clients like justin bieber and the black eyed peas stop reports suggest that two of his most famous a listers are parting ways with them. amy lovato and ariana grande. ariana grande date signed with scooter braun back

in 2013, and since then she has had five albums top the us billboard charts. demi lovato, in the meantime, signed with scooter braun back in 2019. so why is this making so many weeds in the music industry? it is a lot of it comes down to taylor swift. taylor swift and scooter braun have been any long—standing feud since he bought her former record label back in 2019 four 300 million us dollars. in doing that, he gained access to the last recordings of her first six albums. and since then, taylor swift has been re—releasing these and that's all for now — stay with bbc news.

hello. some of us have seen some warm late summer sunshine over the past few days, particularly across parts of southern and eastern england. and that theme is going to continue, at least for the next day or so. now, this is how we ended the day on tuesday. there have been some really beautiful sunsets. this was the picture in guernsey. and as we head through the day on wednesday, a bit more of the same. so, yes, some warm sunshine around, but also a few showers, particularly across some northern and western parts. now we'll start the day a little bit fresher than recent morning. so looking at mid single figures for some parts of rural scotland, but still in the mid—teens further south, still relatively warm and humid here. there'll be some low cloud moving in across parts of wales, perhaps through the bristol channel. a few splashes of light

rain across this region, this is a weak front here, and also a few showers moving into parts of western scotland, perhaps one or two for northern ireland through the course of the morning. some sunny spells for eastern scotland, but later in the day, one or two showers cropping up here. but long spells of blue sky and sunshine for southern england and east anglia, where temperatures again could reach 25—26 degrees. but typically the high teens further north. now through wednesday evening, then, we'll start to see a few more showers working in from the north and the west. the breeze picking up, too, with those heavy showers, particularly across parts of scotland. they'll merge into longer spells of rain into thursday morning for parts of northern england, perhaps north wales as well. to the south of that, still quite warm and muggy. the temperatures remaining in double figures fairly widely on into thursday morning. now, thursday's weather still a bit of uncertainty, but we are dominated by low pressure that's moving its way into a couple of weather fronts here on the chart. this one's going to bring some showery rain into parts of northern ireland, particularly into scotland, though, could be quite heavy and thundery. and further south also the chance of some heavy showers and perhaps some thunderstorms for central, southern and eastern parts of england as well.

in between, i think a bit of dry weather with some sunshine for the likes of northern ireland, northern england as well. so temperatures, again, at the high teens in the north. the mid 20s, though, quite a contrast, further south across the uk. and then as we head towards the end of the week into the weekend, low pressure looks like it clears towards the east, high pressure in the atlantic. that's going to open the doors for a bit more of a northerly or northwesterly flow of air. so from a colder direction. so still some sunshine in the forecast at times as we head through the course of the weekend. but equally, some scattered showers around, more frequent towards the north. and those temperatures return to more typical for the time of year. bye— bye.
