who took the job after us — has got the wonderful show from the sydney theatre company on in the west endnook, so... oh, yes. ..that�*s from the same... from succession. yes. from the same company, which is extraordinary. so we... it was really an extension of the work we did through the theatre company there, and we've... i think it's a testament, i suppose, to our marriage, really, that, you know, we're good life partners, but also balance one another out creatively, from a producorial point of view. so in the partnership with your husband, how do you decide on which projects you're going to put forward or not? we've got very eclectic taste. i mean, i think we did have when we ran the sydney theatre company, you know, doing 19 shows a year, supporting emerging artists as well as established artists, and with a desire to tour internationally. so whilst the shows were given birth to, so to speak, in australia, we were interested in their... to see where they connect universally, outside your own culture. and i know first—hand from touring shows — like gross und klein, which is a german pl

and for role in the west end.d for the company to come you can tell it's come out, you can tell it's really affected her. the thing with plays, i'm with shakespeare's plays, i'm like , keep the narrative the like, keep the narrative the same, but whoever wants to play it , it should go to the best it, it should go to the best person. yeah, but you know , person. yeah, but you know, there's always this flip side on there's always this flip side on the where you think the industry where you do think if a white actress was now going to play a part, it's to play a black part, it's always a issue as well. always a big issue as well. >> true. >> that's true. >> that's true. >> you know, so we do have to look at it 5050. but i think the reason why there has been this blind colour class and it's just to create more opportunities for black and black black actors and black actresses. so this play is due to start in may at the duke of york's theatre in london. and she'll be playing against playing aside tom holland, who will

is becoming, let alone the other allies in the west end even the arab world.n terms of isolation, the u.s. is still backing solidly and providing military hardware for its war against hamas in gaza. and everything the white house has said to there is no way that it is going to limit weapons sales to israel. or put conditions on their use. so in that sense, israel still has the firm backing of the u.s., which is by far its most important ally. and netanyahu knows u.s. politics very well. some might argue he is underestimating just how angry people in america and beyond our with the war in gaza right now. but he is also astute as a tactician, and he seems to be banking on american support staying for this war in gaza. even if he follows through with things like sending forces into the city of rafah. lizzy: that the latest on israel. bloomberg's middle east and north africa editor, paul wallace, we thank you for that update. of course, the geopolitical risk feeding into the oil story. next up, we will discuss the oil rally rolling on. we will look at why some ana

when we wouldn't to new york -- so the play, you know, at the national theater, it went to the west endt to new york. every night we did that play in new york there would always be quite amazing people on the show. like, your, like gene wilder came to see it. >> jimmy: wow. that's great. >> tom hanks. like, you know, amazing people would come. you can't really bring them up on stage use it's -- could be seen as disrespectful. >> jimmy: yeah. >> one night it was raining. you remember -- you know when it rains in new york, the raindrops are like quarters. it's like everyone is drenched. and ollie, who was in the play, said," you know who's in tonight?" this is 2012. he said, "donald trump's here." and he said, "he's the only person you could ever bring up on stage." because half the audience don't really like him anyway. so you'll either win with the whole audience, or you'll win with half. i was like, oh, we'll see how the audience are doing in the first ten minutes. if it feels like they're not really getting into it as much as we'd like, maybe i'll do it. sure enough, the show starts,

that's on the west end of the lake near the old kaiser convention center.luding studio one, two, and three bedrooms. 23 of the apartments will be set aside for people who are formerly homeless, transitioning to permanent housing. now, who gets to live there? it's designated as affordable housing, so that means people will qualify to live there. they must make no more than between 30 to 95,000 a year per household. >> the process for potential residents and applicants to apply for the housing involves a lottery process. about six months prior to opening the doors, which will occur in 2026. for this project, most of the money to build the housing, about $23 million, comes from state and local government grants. >> several community organizations are leading the development, including the east asian, east bay asian local development corporation and the unity council. the oakland taxpayers, who passed measure u in affordable housing funding just two years ago, are also contributing to this. and that's why the organizers and the developers here say this is a his

that's in the lake merritt east lake neighborhood, on the west end of lake merritt, near the old kaiser convention center. here's a picture of what it is supposed to look like. according to the plans, the apartment homes inside will include studio one, two, and three bedroom places, and 23 of the apartments will be set aside for people who are formerly homeless. transitioning to permanent housing. now, who gets to live here? people who qualify for affordable housing. that means families living there must make between 30,000 and no more than 95,000 a year per household. >> the east 12th project has one of the best locations in town. in my opinion. it's one of the last infill developable sites on lake merritt, and it's well connected by transit, education, schools as well as, you know, convenience stores and other amenities of the neighborhood. >> most of the money to build this project, about $23 million, comes from state and local governments. the east bay asian local development corporation and the unity council are contributing and also leading the construction of this project, and th

the production opened in the west end in 1952 at the london ambassador's theatre, before moving nexte a look at the tubes now. a few issues — the bakerloo line is part suspended. the dlr has minor delays, thejubilee line has severe delays. the northern line is part closed and the piccadilly line has minor delays. now onto the weather with kawser. hello, good morning. quite a cloudy start to the day with some pretty heavy showers overnight last night. and today we are expecting sunny spells and further scattered showers to develop during the day. the heavy showers from overnight will continue to clear out into the north sea and we are left with some sunshine developing and some scattered showers, but these showers will not be as heavy or frequent as yesterday. temperatures reaching around 13 to 15 celsius and quite breezy out there as well. during the evening, thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain spreading up from the south—west. some of this rain may be heavy in places and temperatures, overnight holding up at around nine to 11 celsius so quite a mild night in store and still quite breez

it was a play in the west end, yeah. away. you're playing eight different characters in one scene. >> jimmy: this is a dumb question. are you running and grabbing a wig, now i'm this lady this guy, whatever? >> no, didn't do any of that. that allows the audience to do a little detective work itself. >> jimmy: the audience has to figure out, even though you're not changing your appearance -- >> slight little changes in the way you might use your voice, small things. in the beginning we use little symbols. bit by bit -- it's amazing what an audience -- audiences like to do a little bit of work. the worst acting is when people are spoon fed. i think audiences like it. >> jimmy: interesting. they can follow it. you must be -- you can't be like a mediocre actor and pull something like that off. >> you can, you can. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i would go out there -- i would do every character the exactly the same. that's him, that's him, that's him -- >> the key is not doing it too much. >> jimmy: you don't want to do like you're

it's clear that they are feeling the pressure from the us, from the west end, from the white house that they're going to have to change to get any kind of continued support from that idea of video. very remarkable. >> david >> you speak with these leaders privately. obviously, you report on them extensively publicly what is your sense of the level of influence that president biden has at this moment with benjamin netanyahu, is it? and how does it compare to the influence that he had at the beginning of this conflict >> i actually think he had more and has been declining when he first went israel, he embraced them. he he said that we were all love world whose width him in an after october 7, the world was by enlarge with them with some exceptions >> he had one word of warning at that time case you remember he said we overreacted after nine 11. and did things we came to regret and now the israelis have walked right down the path, i think in biden's mind that he feared that they would his influence has been pretty low but it is interesting to think that a few weeks ago, prime minister neta
