now, the move by warner brothers has been welcomed by the british government.os angeles said that it was a huge vote of confidence in the uk, adding that british—made entertainment will continue to delight and entertain global audiences. the announcement does, however, come at the same time as that combined writers and actors strike in hollywood. that has hit warner brothers production hard. a number of their projects have had to be delayed. this weekend, a capsule is expected to fall from space and land in the american state of utah. it contains rocks and dust from an asteroid, which could give important clues about the formation of our planet 7 more than four billion years ago. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle, has the details. asteroid bennu, a 500m wide rock hurtling through space. with its boulder—strewn terrain, it tops nasa's list of space rocks that pose a danger to our planet. but it could also shed light on our very beginnings. so nasa decided to get up close and personal with it. after a two—year journey captured on camera, this was the moment the

so warner brothers took the view that it was best to get it done properly in 202a.�*m just wondering, as a layman, does that make a difference? if the film�*s already in the cinemas, that�*s great. but does it really make a difference if the a—listers are doing the rounds and propping up the film? it�*s huge, i mean, it is huge. and you can see it and feel it and you can feel the buzz kind of that�*s created by the talent themselves, and the red carpet�*s never to be underestimated. and it creates a marketing buzz, it creates a press buzz, and that has always translated into promoting the film and helping to launch that particular film. so as a person who runs cinemas, this has to be a major problem for you. yeah, i mean, it is potentially going to be very challenging. and this is an industry globally that came out, well, pre—pandemic we set box office records, $42 billion in 2019, and then we were effectively closed for the best part of a year and a half to two years. it was devastating worldwide, but we�*ve come back and we�*ve come back slowly. and i think the re
