Hundreds of people in lincolnshire still cant go back to their homes because of flooding descibed by the Environment Agency as unprecedented. Most of argentina and uruguay, together with regions of paraguay and brazil, are without electricity after a massive power outage. Good afternoon. Five of the 6 conservative leadership candidates are preparing to go head to head in their first televised debate tonight. However, borisjohnson, the frontrunner in the race, will not be taking part. The foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has said choosing mrjohnson as the next tory leader would mean britain leaving the eu without a deal. Our political correspondent, nick eardley, reports. Catch him if you can. Boris johnson is the frontrunner to be our next pm, and he still is keeping his head down. He wont be at the first tv debate tonight, but his rivals know he is the man to catch. Jeremy hunt thinks he can make up the ground, but unlike mrjohnson, hes not promising brexit will be done by the end of october. This morning, he wouldnt even commit to definitely leaving this year. Why . Because he wants a new deal and believes europe could be open to it. They say that if they were approached by a british Prime Minister, someone theyre willing to deal with, who had ideas as to how to solve the Northern Irish border, they would be willing to renegotiate the package. The problem time and time again europe has ruled out reopening the withdrawal agreement, and some tories fear this could go on and on and on. When people voted, they voted to leave. We havent left yet and that is why we are seeing notjust the uncertainty for the economy and the damage it is doing to businesses, many of whom just want to know what we are doing, but also this corrosion of public trust and the tory party will be toast unless we are out by the end of october. Dominic raab questioned borisjohnsons brexit plan and others have too. Like rory stewart, the unlikely celebrity of the leadership race. He says he wouldnt serve in a johnson government and believes his Brexit Strategy doesnt stand up to serious scrutiny. Because nobody has yet had the chance to question him, and as soon as you question him, as soon as i sit down with him and ask the big question how, how are you going to deliver brexit, how are you going to get no deal through, then it begins to come off the rails. There is a clearfrontrunner in the race to call this place home, but borisjohnsons rivals insist there is a long way to go. Tonight, without him, they will take part in the first tv debate, hoping they can do something to stop this contest becoming a foregone conclusion. Earlier i spoke to Tim Montgomerie a political commentator and founder of conservative home, he gave me his thoughts about the contenders. My my successor at the website called concert of home, not even Bryce Johnson can stop borisjohnson. He thinks the lead is that big at the moment and i think the scale of support he has from mps. This was supposed to be the difficult round for him. When he got in front of the members in the country thats where his real support is, and he has Something Like a 40 lead over his nearest rival, rory stewart, amongst members. But the lead amongst mps, the lead amongst the grassroots, its hard to see it being overturned. Strategy wise he has been very quiet. He got a haircut. What about the strategy of the other contenders . They have been attacking him with some of their comments. You can see all the fire directed at him, and im sure that is quite a sensible reason really why he has probably opted out of the channel a debate, if i am allowed to mention them if hed been there, it would not have been a debate between six people, all of the fire wouldve been directed at him. That may be a good thing as a spectacle for viewers to watch, but if you are trying to be Prime Minister then the danger of a lot of blue on blue, unfriendly fire, it is not something you want as a front runner. He is taking part in the debate on the bbc on tuesday with emily maitlis. If you were part of his team, how would you advise him to play it . I think i would try to stay above the fray. Others probably will attack him because he is the person they need to knock out of the winning position, but i think what borisjohnson has got to do is reassure people that he will focus on the big things that matter. I think there is an awful lot of questioning that goes on in the media about some of his past remarks in newspapers and on tv and radio. Which a fair point, isnt it . Maybe it is fair scrutiny. If he looks down the barrel of the camera and says there are a few things that really matter, getting britain out of the eu and delivering on the referendum, starting to heal the divisions between north and south, i think he will make an emphasis on infrastructure spending, if he focuses on the big picture stuff, a little like trump has done. Trump has focused on a few things, and the people who support him dont care about the exaggerations and deceptions in his tweets, of which there are many and perhaps they should care about, but what they care about is is he changing the supreme court, building the wall, cutting taxes, and i think boris has to rise above the fray and focus on the big things that really matter to people. Who do you think will be in the final two . Oh, my goodness laughs. Probablyjeremy hunt, not because i think he is building a big lead over his rivals, but there is a naughtiness which happens in tory leadership races sometimes where if there is a clear front runner and they prefer someone else to be their opponent, they lend them a few votes. I think a few borisjohnson supporters might putjeremy hunt in the final round because boris would rather be up against a remainer, asjeremy hunt was, because that will almost guarantee him getting through tory grassroots. I would like to see sajid javid get through, i think he appeals to a different kind of person than the conservative party normally reaches. Hes been very courteous, hasnt he, on twitter. Thats a good example for the other candidates to follow. This is supposed to be a contest within the family, these are supposed to be colleagues, and it would be good to see it conducted in a collegiate way. Tim montgomery there. Tens of thousands of protestors are back on the streets of hong kong, a day after the territorys chief executive, carrie lam, suspended highly controversial plans to allow extraditions to the chinese mainland. Carrie lam has apologised to the public with utmost sincerity and humility. The demonstrators are calling for the proposals to be completely withdrawn and for mrs lam to resign. Our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell, has spent the day at the protests. Hong kongs streets are again a sea of protest, a day after the government was forced into a humiliating back down. Its delayed a bill to allow for people to be sent to mainland chinese courts, where demonstrators say a free trial is not possible. But those marching are demanding more. They want the plan scrapped altogether. Basically, we shouldnt let the government have all power to us because we have our own freedom of rights and freedom of speech and this is why we are out here. If the bill is passed, hong kong will have no democracy anymore. This is not acceptable. I have come here today and also my parents, and all my friends came here today. Because we are really upset about this. If this happened, hong kong is over. Many in the crowd have blamed hong kongs leader, carrie lam, for instigating this crisis. They say the chief executive pushed ahead with extradition in the face of clear mass opposition. Now they want Something Else from her. The death of a protester last night contributed to a sombre mood. He had fallen from a building. People wore ribbons and carried flowers in his memory. If the idea was to take the steam out of the protest movement by delaying this bill, as you can see, it hasnt exactly worked. The other people watching this are the Politburo Standing Committee in beijing. These are all chinese citizens and this is a clear act of defiance from people who are saying that any attempt to erode their freedoms will be resisted in the streets. There is a renewed belief in the power of protest here and, as long as the threat of extradition remains, a large proportion of the population seem prepared to mobilise in order to stop it. Stephen mcdonell, bbc news, hong kong. Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of an 18 year old man who was stabbed to death at wandsworth in south london on friday.

Emergency services dealing with severe floods in lincolnshire are now preparing for more rainfall with storms forecast on tuesday. Police drones have been monitoring water levels overnight after nearly 600 homes were evacuated in wainfleet, near skegness. Residents now face more uncertainty, with bad weather threatening to put more pressure on the river steeping. Some residents were left with up to a metre of water in their homes when the river burst its banks after two months worth of rain fell in just two days. Our reporter, luxmy gopal, has been in wainfleet today and she told us about those whove been evacuated. Some of them have been moved to a shelter in nearby skegness, and others have had to stay in friends houses. Some of them are double evacuees, in that they were moved out of their homes on wednesday when the flooding first began and moved to friends houses, and yesterday those properties were also evacuated. The flooding began on wednesday when the river steeping burst its banks when two months worth of rain fell in just two days. There is a fear that could happen again. Behind me, the pumping station, which emergency crews are desperately trying to keep working to keep the water away to prevent further flooding. There is a concern that at points where the flood defences are weak and vulnerable, the river could burst its banks again. That is why the raf chinook returned yesterday to put in gravel and sand to shore up the defences to plug any potential breach. Emergency teams say they might be here till friday because we have some weather Warnings Issued for tuesday with heavy rain expected. The Environment Agency is doing what it can to try to mitigate the effects of that, bringing in some Big Hydraulic pumps to help the efforts to channel the water away, but because of the heavy rainfall expected, it is not clear what the situation will be over the next few days, but it is certain that the residents of wainfleet will not be able to return to their homes any time soon. A huge electrical power failure is affecting large parts of latin america. Its left most of argentina and all of uruguay without power according to a major argentine electricity provider. Trains have ground to a halt and traffic lights failed. The combined population of argentina and uruguay is about 48 million people. According to reports, brazil and paraguay were also affected. Provincial elections were scheduled in parts of argentina, and voting is going ahead, but with some delays. Local media have been showing voters filling their ballots in the dark, with mobile phones being used as lanterns. Natalio cosoy gave us this update from buenos aires. The traffic lights behind me are blinking as the systems are reset, after power was re established in this part of town close to the centre of buenos aires. Its been a few hours since a massive blackout, the first of its kind, hit most of argentina as well as parts of brazil and uruguay. It affected millions of people. It started at around 7am local time. It was still dark and its winter now here, so those who were using electricity to heat their homes were particularly affected, as well as elderly People Living up in high rises. Now, the power is, as i said, slowly being re established not only here in buenos aires but to other parts of the country. The government says that this was due to a massive collapse of the interconnected power grid, and they say it might be linked to a problem in the yacyreta dam in the north of the country. Although were still waiting for more details on what might caused this massive power outage. The headlines on bbc news.

A surgeon who served time in prison for killing a patient before his conviction was quashed has raised concerns about the way black and ethnic minority doctors are treated by the professional regulator. Figures obtained by the bbc suggest the General Medical Council is more likely to investigate complaints against bame doctors than those who are white. Heres amara sophia ela hee i had lost my salary, i had lost my reputation, i lost myjob. David sellu is a respected colorectal surgeon with over a0 years of experience in the nhs and private sector. In 2010 a patient died under his care. He was investigated by the gmc, then charged and convicted of gross negligence manslaughter. He was later cleared on appeal after serving 15 months of a two year prison sentence. He believes his race played a part in the way his case and others have been handled. The General Medical Council, our regulator, investigates a disproportionate number of black and ethnic minority doctors. We should all proportionately take the blame for when things go wrong, and things do go wrong in medicine after all. Black and asian doctors make up around a third of the workforce in the uk, yet they are overrepresented in fitness to practise cases. Figures obtained by the bbc show that over a five year period, 44 of complaints made against black doctors led to investigations. For asian doctors it was a0 . For white doctors it was just 29 . They also revealed 12 of black doctors were suspended or erased from the medical register after an investigation by the medical practitioners tribunal service. That is more than double the proportion of white doctors. The gmc said it is not complacent about its own processes being free from discrimination, which is why it regularly and independently gets them reviewed. It has commissioned research to understand better why black and asian doctors are disproportionately complained about, investigated and sanctioned. They destroyed my profession, they destroyed my career. Somebody surely should have been held to account for that, but nobody i didnt get any apology, nothing.

The illegal International Trade in one of the uks most endangered species, the european glass eel, has been exposed by a bbc investigation. A team from countryfile posing as fishermen were approached by dealers in china and russia who wanted to break an export ban. Heres countryfilesjoe crowley. Our rivers are home to a range of wildlife, including the european glass eel. But today it is a critically endangered species, with laws including an export ban in place to protect it. But it is also at the heart of a £3 billion criminal network, fuelled by demand for its meat as a delicacy in asia. It is the most trafficked animal by number and by value. They leave here ati euro each, and one year later have been grown on in the 900 eel farms of inland china, it is worth 10 euros. So i euro turns to 10 euros, and that is pretty tempting. International buyers are offering up to seven times the value of a catch on the banks of rivers like the severn in gloucestershire. I posed as a fisherman online with eels to sell, and was soon contacted by International Sellers looking to export them from the eu illegally. I have never done this before, how would we do it . I see, ok, ok. If it is that easy, what can be done to stop this illegal trade . Do you need more resources, different legislation . I think a greater understanding of the problem. This is a major crime. Once we can get people to understand the severity of the problem we might be able to get somewhere. Campaigners are calling for tougher enforcement of the laws protecting this critically endangered species. And you can seejoes full report on countryfile on bbc one tonight at seven oclock.

We are feminine, powerful, we have a voice and thats how i want indian women to be portrayed on screen. While some of the filming took place on location in the rajasthan region of northern india, other scenes were shot in less exotic places, like ealing studios in west london. Tv pundits have already dubbed it dehli downton. How different is this one to Downton Abbey . Very. From my point of view, i am playing a very different character, a different class, different time, different period. The six part series depicts a vibrant mix of cultures both on and off the screen. We had a ceremony before the first take where we smashed coconuts in a sort of good luck blessing ceremony which i had never done before, and then i watched the first take, the indian actors would kiss the camera and i said, what is that about . They said, it is respect, the camera gives us our work. Beecham house is a fictional drama but hopes to provide a glimpse of the period leading to britains colonisation of india.

Andy, pakistan won the toss and they might rue putting india into bat because thats a big target terrific occasion, this match over subscribed many, many times over. Yes, indias batsmen have shown why they are one of the most feared in world cricket. They produced a tremendous performance this morning. They said pakistan a target of 337. No doubting the start of the show as far as the no doubting the start of the show as faras the indian no doubting the start of the show as far as the indian batting was concerned. Read hit sharma with iao, he really held the innings together rohit sharma. Virat kohli chipped in with 77 although he was out in slightly bizarre circumstances after he walked after he thought he had edged the ball behind. Off he went, didnt wait for the umpires decision. Replays showed he hadnt. Virat kohli a bit frustrated afterwards. India setting a target of 337 for pakistan to chase. The pakistan batting, they needed to get off toa pakistan batting, they needed to get off to a good start, they didnt achieve it. They soon lost their opening wicket. Imam ul haq out for just seven, lbw. The worst possible start for pakistan as they began this gargantuan run chase to win the match. Since then further wickets have fallen. They had a resurgence but babar have fallen. They had a resurgence but ba bar azam has have fallen. They had a resurgence but babar azam has gone for a8, fakhar zaman has gone for 62. Two more wickets have fallen. Pakistan now five wickets down, its going to bea now five wickets down, its going to be a very long way back if they are going to win this match. It looks like the end is nigh. A massive indian roarfrom like the end is nigh. A massive indian roar from their fans like the end is nigh. A massive indian roarfrom theirfans behind you in the last couple of seconds. Its a terrific occasion, isnt it . Its a terrific occasion, isnt it . Its what the world cup needs and what its all about. It is a tremendous occasion. I was here two oi tremendous occasion. I was here two or three hours before the start. Normally if you turn up to three hours before the start of a cricket game, theres no one here. There we re game, theres no one here. There were hundreds, perhaps thousands of india and pakistan supporters here at breakfast time. They could have filled this venue 30 times over. They had nearly 800,000 ticket applications for the match. That gives you an idea of what an appetite there is for this fixture. India and pakistan rarely play each other outside of major global tournaments like this, because of the political tensions between them. This is very much a special occasion and despite those political tensions, certainly among the fans it has been an atmosphere of celebration. Although its going to be the indian fans celebrating at the end of the day because they are now ina the end of the day because they are now in a very, very strong position. Like a very safe bet. I wonder if that pakistan fan got his horse in, i doubt it thank you. The chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has left the club to joinjuventus on a three year deal.

Frank lampard, the clubs record golascorer and current derby boss is favourite to replace him. Sweden are the latest side to book a place in the last 16 at the womens world cup, it was always likely against a thailand side that were thrashed in their last match. It finished 5 1 to the swedes in nice. Ed harry was watching. After conceding i3 after conceding 13 against the united states, its no wonder thailand looked nervous before kick off. It didnt take long for their shaky defence to start leaking more goals. Sembrant scoring swedens opener. They were soon 2 0 up swedens opener. They were soon 2 0 up before rolfo added a third. The keeper should have done better. Thailand stopped the attack for most of the second half. It wasnt until the 81st minute they added another, hurtig with an unstoppable header. And then a moment to savour for thailand after letting in so many goals, they finally had one of their own to celebrate. Sung ngoen getting the travelling fans something to cheer about. The final twist came deep into injury time, rubensson scoring from the spot to confirm swedens place in the last 16. The usa can join sweden in the last 16 with a win against chile, they kicked off at five in paris and they 3 0 up. Carli lloyd with the first. She has become the first person to score in six world cup matches in a row. In the last couple of minutes julie ertz has made it two. The usa making seven changes to the team that thumped thailand. Theyve just headed in a third as well. These are live pictures from the parc de princes. This is over on bbc two right now.

England and scotland play their final group d matches on wednesday night. England who are already through to the last 16 face japan whilst scotland have to beat argentina. Jane dougall is following the Scottish Team in france. Scotlands Training Base isnt far from here and on wednesday they will travel to paris for this crucial match against argentina. I spoke to a few of them today and they are aware this a must win game. Even if scotla nd aware this a must win game. Even if scotland beat argentina they still might not qualify because they are dependent on other countrys results. The top two in each of them belonged to magically qualify but four of the third place countries will also go through and scotland will also go through and scotland will have to hope they are one of them. Lee alexander the scotland keeper spoke to the media today and said they must leave everything on the pitch. We have to feel confident. Weve got things to build on from our previous two games. Weve come away with zero points but i think weve come away with zero points but ithink our weve come away with zero points but i think our performances in the second half show we have a desire to try and get back into the game. We are creating the opportunities, thats whats important, putting teams under pressure. We know we have to start better but we know its in our hands, we need to get points against argentina and then see what happens in the other groups. England have travelled back to nice to playjapan. Theyve already qualified but this match will determine if they finish top of their group or runners up. Japan won their group or runners up. Japan won the tournament in 2011 and were runners up in 2015, say they will be formidable. On paper they will be the toughest task so far for england. Lucy bronze knows the abilities of the japanese side, he plato Club Football with her captain at lyon. Japan are a top side with top players. Obviously i know personally one of them. Shes one of the best in the world. We will prepare for that game as we prepared for every game, argentina, scotland, the warm up games. We are looking at each game as it comes. If england finish top they will play one of the third countries which should be an easier route to the knockout stages. They finished runners up they will either play canada, who beat them 10 either play canada, who beat them 1 0 ina either play canada, who beat them 1 0 in a friendly in april, or the netherlands who put them out of the euro is two years ago and went on to win the tournament. Scotland, if they manage to get through, might find themselves facing france. Tyson fury fought in las vegas for the first time overnight and put on a show for the american public, a second round stoppage against the german tom schwarz. Fury is still unbeaten and eyeing a rematch against the wbc heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder. Patrick gearey reports. Tyson fury isnt big on subtlety. The boy from manchester wants to crack america, so in las vegas he dressed like apollo creed from the rocky movies. What followed was more a trailer than feature length. His gem and a trailer than feature length. His german opponent tom schwartz wasnt in his class. No vegas poker face here. Schwartz wasnt in his class. No vegas pokerface here. Smiling and swaying and then waiting for the right moment to bring down the curtain. Tom schwartz tried to carry on but was helpless when faced with the final frenzy of fury. Patel was thrown and his first fight was over inside two rounds of the towel was thrown. Fury tends to follow his greatest hits with an encore to the world and his wife. I dont take myself that seriously, as you can tell. Im just a chubby guy who has fun. Im relaxed. Its natural, its what i do. Its fun and games for me. A rematch against Deontay Wilder looks likely next year for fury. He isa looks likely next year for fury. He is a complex, controversial character he will never be universally adored but with every fight and every show, he is becoming harder and harder to ignore. Englands justin rose will go into the final round of the us open later today just one shot off the lead. Topping the leaderboard still is the american gary woodland, who will begin the day 11 under par at pebble beach. But rose, whos 2013 us open win remains his only major victory, is breathing down his neck he moved to ten under after another impressive round in california. Rory mcilroy is still among the chasing pack and is five shots off the lead. Im not chasing, im so close to gary that im going to play my game tomorrow and i think its going to be dictated by the pin placement on the weather tomorrow as to how aggressive you can be and what itll ta ke to aggressive you can be and what itll take to win. I make no predictions tonight on what tomorrow is going to feel like, ill assess it in the morning. I couldnt be in a better overall. Id be very pleased with how ive played all week. I felt like today i did the right things. I need to do a more holes of that butjust did the right things. I need to do a more holes of that but just get a bit more out of the round tomorrow thanl bit more out of the round tomorrow than i did today and expect the conditions to be similar but i can see the course getting a little firmerand see the course getting a little firmer and faster and it being trickier. Fernando alonso has claimed back to back wins at the le mans 2a hour race, alongside toyota team mates Sebastien Buemi and kazuki nakajima. The double formula 1 world champions crew, who took the lead with an hour to go, were also crowned the world endurance champions. It was a one two for toyota, with britains mike conway part of the team in second place. Before last year, toyota had never won the classic race despite years of trying. In moto gp, marc marquez has extended his championship lead, capitalising on a crash that took out four of his rivals to win at the catalunya circuit. The spainiard avoided the crash and took his fourth victory in seven races this season. Andy murray has been speaking to the bbc ahead of his latest comeback. Hes restricting himself to doubles at the queens tournament that starts tomorrow, his first competitive tennis since a second hip operation at the turn of the year. He is also due to play at wimbledon in july, where he won two singles titles. That should be an emotional occasion, although probably not for him. I dont think about it a lot. I spend a lot of time there during the year. When ive been practising their recently, you know, i was looking forward to may be getting the chance to play there again and compete because i wasnt sure if i we re compete because i wasnt sure if i were to be able to compete again. I will definitely be excited when i get out there and ive thought about ita get out there and ive thought about it a bit when ive been practising there. I havent given it much thought the last few days, ive been concentrating on here. More of that interview in breakfast tomorrow morning. Thats all the sport for now. Coming up next, film review. Hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. Weve got mark kermode taking us through this weeks cinema releases. What have you got in store for us . A very mixed bag, we have men in black international, which is the fourth instalment in the ongoing sci fi series, we have the hummingbird project, which is a film about obsession, and a childs eye view of the world in we the animals. You always have a mixed bag, dont you . Yeah. Men in black, i remember seeing the first one, i didnt think they would make three more. Yeah, i think youre not alone in that. I thought the first was great. I remember seeing the first one and being really surprised by how smart and funny it was. I like barry sonnenfeld. I liked the special effects, i thought the story was well told. Second one, terrible, third one, not great. Now the fourth instalment, which is attempting to kind of breathe new life into it. So we have Tessa Thompson is molly, who as a child met an alien, nobody believed her, who would believe a child who met an alien, and so she decides she wants to become one of the men in black, she pursues this dream. She finally meets up with Emma Thompsons agent 0. Who does actually allow her tojoin the men in black. They have a discussion about men in black . Emma thompson says, yeah, i know, ive had the discussion, theyre very attached to the name. Shes then teamed up with Chris Hemsworth in an adventure which involved extraterrestrials and the most powerful weapon ever in the universe and also Kumail Nanjiani playing this tiny little character, pawny, who is essentially a pawn in a chess set who is looking for a queen. Heres a clip. Excuse me, what happened here . We had the best party. Kanye showed up and dropped like a whole new album. Look around, we got our as is kicked my queen ill never serve another. I must end my own life in the most painful way possible. I dont think that she would want you to, you know. Who are you to know what a queen would or wouldnt want . Are you a queen . Well, i mean, to the extent that all women are, yes. But no, no. Im not a queen. You know what she is, though, is an agent. Is that a title . It is a title. Maybe the best way to honour the dead is to go on living. Yes. I pledge loyalty eternally to you, agent m. No, no, no, im not interested in a subject. Too late, its done, ive pledged the loyalty. I wish youd said no, no, no before. And if you should die before i, i promise to end my own life. In the most painful way possible. Now, you didnt laugh during that. No. Thats some of the best stuff in the film. Right. Did you laugh . No. I think that that character is the funniest character in the film and i did have a few chuckles during it. The main problem is men in black was really good but youre right, didnt necessarily need all these sequels . Its not terrible, its just terribly ordinary. Theres an awful lot of visual effects going on, theres an awful lot of stuff being thrown at the screen, but it felt very sort of throwaway and very disposable. And it is tempting to say, oh well, its because f gary grey has come on board to direct it. But actually, you know, sonnenfeld was behind both the previous sequels, neither of them were as good as the first one. So although there are some charming performances, and i do think Kumail Nanjiani is, you know, from the big sick, and is a really funny writer and performer. I think thats not anything like enough to paste over the cracks. Is that the hollywood way . That you just keep making sequels . If theyre making money, why not keep making them . There used to be a law that a sequel will take two thirds of what the original took regardless of how good or bad it is, that is no longer the case but if you have name recognition, your money is safer, even if the film itself is frankly not up to snuff. 0k. Not up to snuff. Right. The hummingbird project, with jesse eisenberg, is that up to snuff . I think it is. Its a really weird little film. Jesse eisenberg, he was so edgy in social network, he plays someone who is a trader, who bullies his cousin into leaving the organisation that they work for, and joining him in digging a trench from kansas to new york, down which he can put a fibre cable that will shave the time of trading from 17 ms to 16 ms. And this apparently will create a tiny opportunity equivalent to the beating of a hummingbirds wing that will allow them to get ahead of the game. The funny thing is it sounds terribly unpromising. In fact, its really gripping. Theres a great performance by salma hayek as the boss who doesnt want to let them go. Its got a touch of Werner Herzog in it. About somebody dedicating themselves to a dream which is mad which involves them burying this pipeline through rivers and mountains, no matter what it is, they have to carry on going through a straight line. On the one hand, it is about family loyalty, on the other hand, its about having the vision of having a faster way of doing something but it is about obsession and giving yourself over to an obsession and it can take over your life even to the detriment of your health. I actually thought it was really good. It is called the hummingbird project. You have to seek it out. I actually thought it was really good. We the animals. A coming of age drama . Yes. Three young kids growing up in a sort of dysfunctional household in upstate new york. The father is prone to violence, the mother struggles to get out of bed. So the kids are left very much to fend for themselves. What i like about this is, it felt, on the one hand, very, very naturalistic but it also had a real poetry to it. Heres a clip. What if its pops . Telephone rings. Hello . Mami. How come you didnt answer when i called you . Because you sound so ugly. Here, try. Yo yo, whats up . Woman this is your husband talking to you right now. You better act right what do you want from me . Dig at me, mami, talk to me. Ive been missing you. Ive been missing you real bad. I know, mami, i know. Im sorry. No, baby, im sorry. I think thats got a really lovely natural tone to it and what i really like is on the one hand it has that charming naturalism, but its also very poetic. For example, you feel every drop of rain, you can feel the mud between their fingers when theyre burrowing around in the ground. There are moments in which it goes to animation because the central character, the youngest character draws and these animations kind of come to life. And it deals with some very difficult subject matter, it deals with kids coming to terms with their own sexuality, it deals with a violent relationship between their parents and trying to find their own way in the world. And its tempting to say its like that kind of movie Terrence Malick made before he went off the boil or the kind of thing David Gordon Green did when he was making films like Terrence Malick before Terrence Malick went off the boil, but actually, i think the thing its closest to is the florida project. You know, that childs eye view of the world. The world is harsh and the world is tough, but actually its being looked at through a childs eyes and it has a real poetic edge to it. It is a feature debut and i thought it was very, very fine and effective piece of work. And the acting in that clip looked extraordinary. You literally thought you were just eavesdropping on those three kids having a completely normal, you know, charming and really tender conversation about something which is very difficult which is that their parents are having difficulties. I really liked it. Good. Best out . Dirty god. So this is directed by sacha polak and it stars vicky knight. An vicky knight has never been in a feature film before, never acted before, and she is astonishing. She plays somebody who is the survivor of an acid attack and shes trying to redefine her life. She is absolutely brilliant. I mean, honestly, seeing this performance you think shed been in theatre all her life or before a camera all her life. Its a really natural but very, very complicated performance, and i think shes an absolute star in the making. The film itself is really good, again it deals with difficult subject matter in a way which is subtle and effective. She is an absolute star, i thought her performance was extraordinary vicky knight, a name to watch for the future. Right. My best out, for what its worth, is rocket man. Oh, rocket man. It was fabulous. I know you loved it. I loved it. Yeah, i absolutely loved it. And we both want to see it again, dont we . Yeah, and as you said yourself, you come out of the cinema and you want to go straight back in again and watch it because it is so good. Absolutely. Highly recommended. If anyone who hasnt seen it. And best dvd . If beale street could talk, which is it kind of got overlooked, partly, it was up for some awards, but it didnt get the attention it deserved. I think barryjenkins is a brilliant director. And i loved this. And what i loved most about it is its a film about social justice and imprisonment, and a lot of very difficult stuff, but it is at heart a love story. With another wonderful score by nicholas britell. And if people didnt see it in cinemas, and many people didnt, it didnt find the audience it should have done, get it on dvd or blu ray, its really fabulous. And barryjenkins did moonlight. Yeah, here did. Moonlight, it is astonishing that film did as well as it did, because it came out of nowhere, it was a little independent movie thatjust won over the hearts of everyone who saw it. Weve got used to the fact that it was a huge hit, it started as a really, really small movie thatjust found its audience and deservedly so. Its actually great that that can still happen in todays hollywood. It renews your faith in films when Something Like that can be discovered. Because obviously theres a blockbuster market out there. And its great, i think, that rocket mans done as well as well as it has as well. Because rocket man is a film which takes risks, more than Bohemian Rhapsody did, but it still managed to find an absolutely mainstream audience. So, yeah, were in a pretty good period at the moment. People say cinema isnt as good as it used to be. Barry norman said every year there are the same number of comparatively good and bad films itjust depends which one you look for. And we have a mixed bag every week, we have good and bad for you. And it is up to you to decide which are good and which are bad. Anyway, mark, thank you very much indeed. Thank you. That is it for this week. Thank you so much for watching. Its goodbye from both of us. Lets bring you up to date with how the next few days are looking. Not all doom and gloom but there is big area of low pressure anchored to the west of the british isles. Longer spells of rain with showers in the south west. It is a mixture already of sunny spells and showers. Persistent rain more for the north west of scotland, persistent rain showing its hand from that increasing cloud across the south western quarter. Through the rest of the evening and overnight, it will push up across the western side of england, through wales into the heart of scotland and through Northern Ireland. It will leave a trading portion of the weather front to keep the rain going into parts of wales, the north west of england and all the while the rain arcing across parts of ireland and scotland. Not a great deal changes as we get on into the body of monday. Quite a few isobars, the wind will be a noticeable feature. At its worst around some of the heavier showers but we could see a5 mph. Heres the problem with the persistent rain across central and western scotland through Northern Ireland. That weather front, although it through Northern Ireland. That weatherfront, although it tends through Northern Ireland. That weather front, although it tends to weaken, it may be the case that before it finally fizzles away, we could see 20 30 millimetres of rain associated with that on the high ground of wales and some in scotland could end up with a0 millimetres of rain. Into tuesday, the low pressure still close to the north west of scotland, parts of Northern Ireland still seeing a fair amount of rain. Later in the day, this is rain with some embedded thunderstorms which could cause something of an issue. Otherwise, between those two extremes, its a decent sort of day with some sunshine. Already the met office have this yellow warning out but look at the extent and where its covering. Some areas already badly affected by flooding. Theres more rain through the course of the evening and overnight, on into wednesday. Is it clears away, as the heat of the day comes through we could spawn more thunderstorms. Somewhere in that warning area, widely 20 30 but some people could get 50. This is bbc news, im lukwesa burak. The headlines at 6pm. Tory leadership contender, dominic raab says his party will be history if britain isnt out of the eu by the end of october and accuses parliament of trying to steal brexit from the voters. The damage it is doing to businesses, many of whom come to me and say we just want to know what you are doing. But also this corrosion of public trust, and the tory part will be toast unless were out by the end of october. Hundreds of thousands stage another protest in hong kong against proposed changes to the extradition law. The territorys chief executive apologises for the upheaval. I confess we have not been as effective as we
