a costume drama it wasn't until later that they found out she was there were a wedding dress we could well find it was something very similar with magen that it was done without five metre long train behind which was very carefully carried by have page boys in the way it cascaded down the stairs ahead of this this kiss that was absolutely beautiful absolutely beautiful book leading up to this with a lot of controversy especially about her father being unable to attend the wedding we have heard from him now haven't we we have we had he's released a statement saying my baby looks beautiful i wish i was that it was expected that he would. kensington palace had said earlier this week that he would be taking part he'd be walking down the aisle but we heard just a couple of days before the wedding that actually no con be that there's been a lot of controversy about him in the build up to this wedding he is found to have staged some photos of trying on a suit for the wedding of posing with a book about the united kingdom that was then found out it was a bit of

a scandal we know that he's quite a private man he lives in in mexico and the president was just getting a little bit much beside that he said herself from heart problems as even reports that he underwent heart surgery ahead of the very soggy wasn't able to make it instead of prince charles steps in and i walked up to the second part of the to her to her groom a lot of people had thought maybe that she would walk the whole way or even her mother would. the whole way some people talk about be a really nice a feminist statement there it is twenty eighteen women a mother can walk. but she just she just on her own and then was met by charles now besides the bride and groom and charles there were ten page boys and bridesmaids all in the age of ten it was a little bit like herding cats you were doing but nobody was misbehaving and really you know there was so well behaved actually i mean the two very famous faces of course as we were expecting george and charlotte. harry's niece and nephew day it

was part of the. people alongside the children alongside meghan but the youngest was just. there were so well behaved the way that they they carried to train for there was a lot of concern that. there weren't any adults as part of this bridal party. but when the british stole the show i mean she was waving to the crowd she did it when her younger brother louis was born she was waving to the press we saw that again and at one point as well she stuck her tongue out some of the reports isn't that this got a lot of love for that just like her uncle did back in the day sticking to fire on that car charlotte charles impel thank you again for that. the winner of the palme d'or at cannes film festival is the movie shoplifters by japanese director hirokazu kore a that he tells the story of a family of small time crooks who take in an abandoned child.

the film is a challenging look at conventional views on what actually constitutes a family korea that attempts to challenge the society and its preconceived notions two years ago he won the jury prize i can. bring in our very own film buff our culture correspondent and host of the movie show keno scott roxboro he's just returned from the cannes film festival scott the makers are more than twenty films have been vying for that top prize tell us about the winner shoplifters. yeah i mean you give the description right right there it's a really interesting film about family it wasn't were at the top of my list because it's not political of film and i thought this year cam was going to make a political statement it was supposed to be the year of the woman in cannes that's what they what they said this is the first year in the wake of the me to scandal and the seven ism seemed to be written large at this year's festival but me and all

the top prizes so the top three prizes went to man this in this case with shoplifter i think it was well deserved this was and is an excellent film and a real real tug around the heartstrings but i was a bit upset a bit upset that you didn't see any of the females represented female directors represented in the top prizes we had only three women directors this year in competition and none of them want one any of the top awards now this is the first cannes film festival in the me to air i did anything stand out in terms of gender equality that feature at this year's event. well you actually featured at this year's awards ceremony because asia argento the italian actress who is one of the women who bravely came forward to accuse harvey weinstein the all the producer of assault of raping her actually at the festival many years ago she presented an award at this year's ceremony and she said to the audience i was raped by harvey

weinstein and this festival was his hunting ground and said that there are still men out there in the industry in the film industry who must be brought brought to justice which got a rousing around of applause the festival itself has tried to take steps to correct what is seen not only as a culture of harassment and assault in in the industry but also the incredible gender disparity i mean this year you had just three female directors in total there being only eighty two women in the seventy one years represented in competition here can this year as taken steps they said they're going to make clear how the films are selected they going to make sure there's gender parity on the on the boards that select the films for the future and they hope that this will really make make change it is a good step but i'll wait to see what actually happens because promises made before and can still remains very much an old boys' club and old boys' club other prizes have been handed out as well thought who are some of the key winners. yeah for me

the two most interesting ones were the other two the sort of the best director and runner up film the runner up film went to spike lee's black klansman an amazing film based on a true story incredible true story about a black police officer who successfully infiltrated the ku klux klan on the phone pretending to be pretending to be white that pertained to be a racist the best spike lee film in years and for me it deserved the palme d'or got the runner up to a grand jury prize but definitely worth a watch that film also. polish film cold war won the best director prize this is from the director of eat which won the oscar a couple of years ago for me this is the best made film this year in cannes beautiful black and white film it's a love story set in soviet era poland wonderful music perfect acting perfect direction really really a joy to watch really joy joy of cinema those are two of my highlights this year and they both came out with two of the two of the top prizes so so it definitely

was a pretty good year in cannes this time around i just would have liked to see a bit more female voices and female award winners on stage tonight w. culture correspondent scott roxboro thank you very much. the results are in for iraq's parliamentary elections iraq's electoral commission says the bloc led by popular shiite cleric also there has secured the most seats there himself didn't run in the election but he is expected to exert a strong influence from the sidelines the nationalist cleric success could be seen as a setback for iran which has steadily increased its influence in iraq since a u.s. led invasion toppled saddam hussein in two thousand and three. in the shiite stronghold of saddam city named after this father there was widespread joy when early results were released now it's confirmed saddam's bloc captured fifty four parliamentary

seats. who led to uprisings against u.s. occupation troops was sidelined for years by iranian backed rivals was able to capitalize on growing resentment over terror and back to governments who failed to improve basic services and build hospitals and schools in a country devastated by the war against islamic state although he can't hold office because he didn't run in the election his blocks of victory could allow him to wield influence from the sidelines. we hope that outsiders bloc which is the biggest block will form a new government it's the list that represents all iraqis and meets their hopes. the people welcome this block some politicians with the support of regional countries are working to remove the block from the political process but iraqis fully back his bloc and its leader.

but not all iraqis are behind during the us occupation he headed the the army a militia blamed for killing and torturing sunni muslims. second across the finish line was the bloc its leader. has close ties with iran and heads an umbrella group of paramilitaries that played a key role in defeating islamic state the bloc led by incumbent prime minister bertie trailed in third place. supporters say they fear that the two pro iranian blocs will join forces to form a coalition government. well we're going to leave you now with some of the footage from this remarkable day in windsor the wedding of britain's prince harry and american actress meghan markle now known as the duke and duchess of suffix congratulations to them and we hope to see you again at the top of the hour i'm out in quite often in berlin thanks for watching.
