we speak to oscar winning filmmaker asif kapadia about his latest docu—drama, 2073. now with all the latest sport here's will perry. good afternoon. real madrid manager carlo ancelotti has refused to deny his club are trying to sign trent alexander arnold from liverpool. we understand the spanish side had made an approach — which liverpool pushed back on. spanish media also reported real were willing to buy the england international this month — but ancelotti refused to be drawn on the situation. translation: it's very difficult to talk about it in this context. we will see. that is all i can say, we'll see. we have so many games injanuary and that is all we are focussed on now and that is all there
3:31 pm
is. talking about the market is not easy for me at the moment. tennis and poland are on course for a second successive appearance in the final of the united cup. they've reached the final four of the tournament — after beating great britain in the quarter finals. hubert hurkacz got them off to a winning start — beating billy harris in straight sets. and iga swiatek secured the victory — getting the better of katie boulter in the second singles match. swiatek lost the opening set, but fought back to win in three and set poland up for a semi final tie against kazakhstan. i don't know, i'm just exhausted, you know? i'm happy that i won, so i don't need to play mixed doubles. but this night was crazy, like so many changes of momentum, like i thought i had it under control in the first set. but i got tight and i didn't work on it. but then i didn't want to repeat the same mistake in the
3:32 pm
third. you know like, i had to take four pain killers, a lot hurt, but i'm happy that we won. forsure i'm hurt, but i'm happy that we won. for sure i'm going to use the day off tomorrow. it's been a good day for the two number one seeds at the brisbane international. aryna sabelenka is through to the quarter finals after beating yulia putin—seva in straight sets and will face marie bozekova next. whilst in the men's draw, novak djokovic is also into the last eight. he beat the frenchman gael monfils in straight sets — and will now play america's reilly opelka next. the brisbane international is one of the very few titles djokovic has never won. ahead of their must—win final test against australia, india's head coach gautam gambhir has denied that the squad is divided. india trail the five—match series 2—1, and defeat would mean they lose the border—gavaskar trophy — something they've held since 2018. following their most recent defeat, gambhiradmitted harsh words were spoken in the dressing room but says it was all for
3:33 pm
the good of the team. those are just reports, that is not the truth. and i don't think i need to answer to any reports to be honest. there are some honest words, that is all i can say and honesty is very important. honesty is extremely important if you want to go on and achieve great things. and it starts from all of us, but only from the players, the coaches as well. and i said indian cricket, the talent there is in indian cricket, i think we will always be in safe hands. yes, there will be times when we are not getting the results, there are times when we will have to be patient and more importantly, rather than only criticising the young players, we have to give them time to develop as well. well there's a much more optimistic atmosphere in the australian squad — as they go into the final test knowing they can't lose the series. captain pat cummins says they're fully focused on one more victory to win the series — and regain the trophy. it is always the preferred position that you go to every test match trying to win. so there is no different this week,
3:34 pm
again, really happy with the last three test matches, how the boys have played, we have shown. for most, we have been the frontrunner and that is the aim again this week, to keep it up. and that's all the sport for now. us prosecutors say, they're fairly certain that multiple people were involved in the truck attack that killed 15 people in new orleans, on new year's day. the fbi are still gathering evidence about the man behind the attack — shamsud—dinjabbar. their teams have ben searching his home today — as they try to work out, who might have planned it with him. more details are coming through about the victims of the attack. my colleague martine croxalljoins me. many, many tributes are being posted with some heart—breaking detail. posted with some heart-breaking detail. , , ., detail. this is when we get to find out a _ detail. this is when we get to

3:48 pm
such as breast, prostate and lung cancer, shows that nearly three in five patients are now being diagnosed at the earliest stages of the disease, when it is far easier to treat. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports: in a bradford city centre car park, this van represents the latest front in the battle against cancer. this is trevor. the use of mobile scanners, like this, is just one way the nhs is trying to catch more cases of liver and lung cancers earlier, when they're much more treatable. this liver scanner is open to anyone who's passing — no appointment needed, just walk in. the vans that house the scanners are sent to places where they can catch the attention of the most people — shopping centres, football grounds, supermarkets. you've got a nice healthy liver there, 0k? and for oliver, it's been a positive experience. it's convenient for me because it'sjust right here in a car park. and also, it's always good to have a medical check
3:49 pm
if you have the opportunity. sometimes we are... we're always busy with whatever we are doing our day—to—day lives and we forget about health. it's very, very important to have a medical check. so it's an opportunity, which i grab with my two hands. the latest data on early cancer diagnosis suggests that over the past year, nearly 60% of the most common cancers were diagnosed at an early stage. that's an increase in detection rates that corresponds to an estimated 7,000 more patients. and in total, more than three million people were seen for urgent cancer checks over the last year — a big increase when compared to before the pandemic. liver scanning vans are especially important, as cancer can develop long before symptoms become obvious. the problem with liver disease is that it is asymptomatic for a really long time. so people, even with quite advanced disease, may have no idea that they have liver disease. the purpose of this scan
3:50 pm
is to allow us to detect that before it becomes symptomatic. liver disease becomes symptomatic at a really advanced stage, by which time it's really too late to offer many treatments. we don't want to meet people at that stage — we want to meet people at a much earlier stage, where we can offer them as many treatments as possible. spotting cancers early is a big step towards successful treatment. but in october, just 68% of cancer patients were seen within 62 days of an urgent referral — well below the target of 85%. so the challenge facing the nhs this coming year is to improve treatment times for those who are diagnosed. dominic hughes, bbc news. as the new year begins, one of britain s most acclaimed documentary filmmakers, the oscar winning asif kapadia, is bringing cinema audiences an unsettling look at what the future may bring. his latest film, 2073, depicts an apocalyptic future. tom brook reports.
3:51 pm
this new documentary takes audiences to a decaying world in the near future. its themes include the rise of far right ideology, the impact of climate change, and the unchecked power of technology companies. it's a docu—drama bringing together real life figures with the imagined dystopian world of the so—called new san francisco of the future. for the filmmaker, it's an attempt to get audiences to confront what he sees as an impending crisis in the world. something seems to be going on. there seems to be this trend, this kind of push to authoritarianism, to the destruction of the climate and the planet. technology, surveillance, all of these different things were happening, which i was feeling uncomfortable and nervous about and scared. so i wanted to somehow say, all i know is to make movies, can i put this all together somehow, all of it, in a film where there isn't a central character, it isn't about one place, one theme, one bad actor. i wanted to deal with all of it on a global level. the film is a hybrid.
3:52 pm
there is a fact—based chronology of different events, but also a narrative thread in which actor samantha morton plays a mournful survivor of a near—future global catastrophe. inspired partly by french filmmaker chris marker�*s 1962 short sci fi film la jetee, set in a post—apocalyptic paris, kapadia's documentary is intended as a cautionary tale for contemporary audiences of a warning of a possible disastrous event of global magnitude. he wants to rattle people. people like horror films. they like going to kind of escape. maybe this is like a horrorfilm. but the challenge is i want really the audience to see it to be affected emotionally flat. asif kapadia is probably best known for his 2015 oscar winning documentary on the late british singer songwriter amy winehouse. his other films include his 2019 portrait of argentinian soccer player diego maradona. in that film, he drew from some
3:53 pm
500 hours of archive material. he used a similar approach with 2073. we've got footage from about 55, 60 countries, but i wanted to put it together as if it was all in one country. we are worth more when we are addicted. the ultra rich feature in this film — figures like elon musk, as well as political leaders including vladimir putin and narendra modi. now, it fits how you i make journalists and critics and activist - enemies of the state. the film is like a celebration ofjournalists and journalism, trying to hold power to account. and i want you to be aware of who these journalists are, because they're the important ones. they're speaking up for us and trying to protect us from what's happening and what's to come. in advance of its release, asif kapadia worked with the film's distributors to promote 2073. selling it to the public won't be easy. opinion is divided on many of the issues explored in his film, and it's probably fair to say that he'll largely be preaching to the converted. at the very least, he hopes that 2073
3:54 pm
brings about a dialogue. the film sort of works like a mirror, you know? it is a mosaic of lots of little fragments, but it's also a mirror. and what i found, wherever i've shown the film, people see what they're afraid of. the themes that we're dealing with, i think, are relevant to everyone, and i wanted to make a film for the cinema where people start speaking to one another again. asif kapadia's film has received a mixed verdict from critics. some have made the charge that it oversimplifies. one reviewer has described it as "feel bad cinema". that may be true, but he's certainly addressing unsettling realities that are of increasing concern to many people. tom brook, bbc news, new york. it was a slow creep. we are expecting that news update from the police in new orleans after that deadly attack. will they confirm there
3:55 pm
were accomplices that worked with shamsud—dinjabbar? that with shamsud—din jabbar? that is with shamsud—dinjabbar? that is one key question and how was the a army veteran radicalised. we will carry that news conference live. more information coming from las vegas and the searching from the fbi, they are linking that to that explosion of a tesla truck in las vegas. next that news conference live from new orleans. hello. well, we didn't have to wait very long in the new year to see a sharp, cold snap of weather. and for many of us, that will bring plenty of blue skies and sunshine today. others will see a bit of snow, like here in aberdeenshire. either way, we've got these bitterly cold arctic winds spreading their way across the uk, bringing temperatures that are barely
3:56 pm
getting above freezing, most of us having dry weather and sunshine with a few showers draped around coastal areas. there will be a few more snow showers coming in across northern areas of scotland, and temperatures barely getting above freezing. factor in that brisk north westerly wind it feels bitter outside. overnight tonight, probably some showers merging to give some longer spells of snow in inland parts of scotland. so a few more centimetres here around coastal areas of scotland. probably a bit more of a wintry mix. there'll probably be a bit of rain and sleet mixed in there as well. a widespread frost — lowest temperatures down to about minus six. and tomorrow expect another day of blue skies and sunshine after a cold and frosty start for many. there will be further showers, though, again around coastal districts, some of these coming in as rain and sleet in towards some of our irish sea coasts. now heading into this weekend, we've got a cold and frosty start to the day on saturday. then a shield of cloud is going to spread across england and wales, so it will feel very cold, with very little
3:57 pm
in the way of sunshine through the afternoon, just 2 or 3c. a bit of brighter weather further north, but again some showers around and temperatures not getting much above freezing. it's heading through saturday night, sunday and into monday that some areas of the uk are looking at big trouble from this area of low pressure. the low pressure, though, will have a sharp dividing line in air mass. to the north, it's cold enough to see snow down to sea level. to the south, any snow turns back to rain. you'd have to be up a mountain 2,500m high to see snowfall through the afternoon on sunday. we don't have any of those, so expect the weather to turn pretty wet. could be a bit of freezing rain bringing icy conditions across north wales for a time, but it's this zone where the snow becomes really slow moving and persistent that we need to really pay attention to because through sunday and into monday, some areas could see around 20 to 40cm of snow over the hills, drifting around in the strong winds and that would likely cut off communities and bring some severe disruption. this boundary could change a little over the next few days.
3:59 pm
live from london. this is bbc news: the us authorities believe the suspect behind the new orleans attack that killed 15 and left dozens injured was not acting alone. this is the scene live in new orleans where the authorities will shortly give an update on what they know about the investigation. details of the 15 victims are emerging. amongst them — a princeton university football star, a father of two —
4:00 pm
and an aspiring nurse. and please continue investigating the incident in las vegas. i am not sure if it is linked —— they are not sure if it is linked to the incident in new orleans. the authorities are due to give an update to the media in terms of their investigation after the attack investigation after the attack in new orleans that left 15 people dead and of course dozens of others injured. we have seen searches at the home of the driver of the pick—up truck, us army veteran, shamsud—dinjabbar. we are shamsud—din jabbar. we are waiting shamsud—dinjabbar. we are waiting to hearfrom
