And the aviator. We dont care about money here, mr hughes. Well, thats because you have it. The departed. Think about it, hot shot. Which brought scorsese his first best director oscar, and the wolf of wall street. I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich. In all, hes made more than 45 features, often crime films, and won numerous accolades. Its a very impressive body of work. His films have been influenced by his Italian American background and by his catholicism. He nearly always features macho, posturing men and sometimes extreme violence. What i like about Martin Scorsese as a film maker is that his films are about something. They have moral weight. Also, hes incredibly skilled as a director. He has his hallmark use of Rapid Editing at times, use of slow motion and freeze frames and ingenious use of contemporary soundtracks. When people first heard that you were making this film, they were surprised because they thought it was very different in terms of Subject Matter
in november 2020 in scotland. the second lockdown in scotland came when the alpha variant came along. so i don t accept that our eye was off the ball. i think we were taking difficult decisions, reaching difficult decisions, reaching difficult balances, in the best way that we possibly could. and i think the evidence, overall, is that while our response was far from. far from avoiding all of the horrible, horrendous harm that was done, i would say an assessment of the outcomes, overall, suggests that while our approach was far from perfect, it actually managed to mitigate some harm that perhaps wasn t mitigated in some other places. wasn t mitigated in some other laces. ., ,,., wasn t mitigated in some other laces. ., ~ wasn t mitigated in some other laces. ., ., , places. professor mark woolhouse states that the places. professor mark woolhouse states that the start places. professor mark woolhouse states that the start of places. professor mark woolhouse states that t
asymptomatic transmission was in fact correct? fact correct? no. perhaps it is not as fully expressed fact correct? no. perhaps it is not as fully expressed there - fact correct? no. perhaps it is not as fully expressed there as - fact correct? no. perhaps it is not as fully expressed there as i - fact correct? no. perhaps it is not as fully expressed there as i have | as fully expressed there as i have had the opportunity to do to today. if we go back to the statement you showed me a moment ago, it was actually me who first queried everything, saying, i don t think it is right to say that asymptomatic transmission cannot happen. so it wasn t that we didn t know asymptomatic transmission couldn t happen, but we didn t know, at the outset, what we came to know, but it was potentially a significant driver. the response that came back to me from health protection scotland, as it was then, still was saying they thought it was overwhelmingly likely people with symptoms who woul
my guest, no guests, this week used to face each other in the house of commons. their clashes were memorable. tony blair, now sir tony, was notjust a leader of the labour party, he was of course prime minister. william, now lord hague, was leader of the conservative party. hard then to imagine that they would be as they are now, working together to outline what they say should be the country s new national purpose. but they are, and they are here together. so welcome, sir tony and lord hague, to poltical thinking. thank you. thanks. i am still getting used to this. now, how should i think of you? do i think of you as friends, allies, colleagues, partners in crime? i don t know, partners i think in saying what we have been saying about science, innovation, ai, biotech, in our latest reports. we haven t set up a new political party, we are not changing the landscape in that sense, but definitely partners in thinking about what any political party has got to do in the future t
in two explosions in south eastern iran, near the grave of a top revolutionary guards commander. state television says the blasts occurred in quick succession in the city of kerman, during a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the killing of qasem soleimani. he was iran s most powerful military commander and was killed in 2020 by a us air strike in iraq. local officials say two bags containing explosives were detonated by remote control at the entrance to the burial site. bbc persian s parham gobadi gave me further details of the blast. as you mentioned, this is one of the deadliest attacks in iran in the past a0 years. it has been unprecedented, the number of the death toll is rising every every few minutes, so far. they say that some of those who were injured are in critical conditions and we know at least one medic was among the casualties who was killed, two others, at least, are in critical conditions. they say that after the first explosion took place, the second, when
