heaviest rain for a century, and the river is expected to rise six metres higher than normal. luxmy gopal reports. the swollen seine, still rising. more than four metres above its usual level, it's expected to peak at six metres by the end of the weekend. on the outskirts of paris, some residents have had to resort to travelling by boat through waterlogged streets, while in the city centre, the tourist boats are no longer operating, with only emergency services allowed along the seine. the past month has been the third—wettest here since records began in 1900. the impact of recent heavy rains is visible in the water levels lapping this statue of a crimean war soldier, known as the zouave, paris's traditional way of measuring the height of the river. the french authorities have been on high alert, and at a flood crisis meeting, the mayor of paris tried to reassure residents, saying the current situation isn't as bad as that of 18 months ago. translation: the flood is less significant, in terms of the volume of rising water, compared to that ofjune 2016, even if it remains substantial, because currently we are at 5.7 metres, and we should peak between 5.8 and six metres maximum. the flooding has already left hundreds of people without electricity, and evacuated from their homes. forecasters predict drier weather for the week ahead, but with much of the ground in northern france waterlogged, the return to normal will be a slow process. luxmy gopal, bbc news. a close friend and political ally of president trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the

abbott said it did not compare with real art in the city gallery. however, many of the local residents who gathered to see the mural disagreed. for me personally the culture that i grew up in, it's a dream really, a dream come true. it's really good. fantastic. i also liked the way that the writing in it is like writing on a chalkboard or ina is like writing on a chalkboard or in a school when you look back on things. like the shoes, i think they've got a nice pair of shoes on. you got to have a nice pair of shoes on, don't you, rosie? the front page of the daily express, rescue firms will no

metres higher than usual. still to come on breakfast: the click team is in the silicon valley, meeting the researchers who are trying to put human life on pause. here is susan with a look at this morning's weather. a bit cold and misty outside. good morning. actually, today is going to turn out to be rather warm i think for this time of year. it could even turn out to be the warmest day of the year so far. that is not saying much because it is only 28 january but very mild air is coming across all the way from the atlantic at the moment. in many spots, already temperatures in double figures. when we do pull that air in from the atlantic, we pull off a lot of the moisture from the ocean, and basically that falls into cloud and thatis basically that falls into cloud and that is what we are stuck under the day. so not a particularly springlike looking day, but i think it could feel quite pleasant if you are out and about. a pretty windy day and we have a band of rain to the north which will affect northern ireland through the morning and further north in the scotland for the afternoon. for parts of western scotland, argyll & bute, the western highlands, some quite significant rainfall totals before we are through. always a bit more scant in the east. by that armageddon to northern ireland a dry story for the afternoon. some rain as far south as the northern pennines. further south a lot of cloud around, misty and murky across the hills. but with the help of the wind, which could be quite gusty, we turn that cloud over a little bit and temperatures could shoot up to 1a or 15 degrees. overnight tonight, some changes, however. this weather front we can see in the north will start to move its way south across the british isles. i don't know if you remember what was to the north of that it was colder air. for scotland first thing on monday a chilly start, patchy frost and a few showers. that called a rare will start to targets where further south across the british isles on monday as the weather front died south as well. a spell of rain on the way for england and wales. for scotland and northern ireland, clearing skies. we should see more on the way of sunshine. it will be a chance of some showers but the most notable thing will be a chilly feel to the day. across the northern half of the british isles on monday, a weather front bringing rain of the british isles on monday, a weatherfront bringing rain into of the british isles on monday, a weather front bringing rain into the middle part of england and wales, clearing the south coast as we get towards the evening. still pretty mild the southernmost counties but further north definitely a chilly field to proceedings on monday, and with those clearer skies overnight monday into tuesday, we could be looking at a widespread frost. so we are mild at the moment but keep that scraper are mild at the moment but keep that scraper ready because i think we could be scraping the car again come tuesday morning. thank you very much, susan. those temperatures are remarkable. now on breakfast it is time for the film review, with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode as ever. so mark, what do we have this week? interesting week. we've got downsizing. the new movie from alexander payne. earlyman, the latest offering from aardman animations, always a treat. and last flag flying, the not quite sequel to the last detail. it looks intriguing, your first choice, that's what i would say. intriguing is exactly the word. this is something a bit different. the best way to describe it is it takes riffs from the incredible shrinking man and innerspace and combines it with a bit of inconvenient truth and the american satire spanglish. really... 0k. the story is the earth's resources have been depleted and process has been discovered to shrink people down to five inches. you can save the planet, you become and use less resources. you produce less stuff to dispose of. everyone has agreed it is a good idea. but the reason people are doing it is because the lifestyle you get offered if you agree to become small is more extravagant than you can get in the big world. here's a clip. so the decision... downsizing takes pressure off, especially money pressure. it must be a good to know you are making a difference. all that crap about saving the planet? yes. downsizing is about saving yourself. we live like kings. i'm still in the same house i grew up in, audrey is dying to move, but we are strapped. a lot of small communities are cropping up. don't mess around. you get the best houses, best appliances, best doctors, the great restaurants. the kids love cheesecake factory. we've got three of them. can you back up a little? there might be too much garlic in the sauce. it is an interesting setup and it looks like the beginning of a great movie. then matt damon's character decides he is going to downsize and when he does, he discovers he's isolated, alone and discontent like he was in the bigger world, but only smaller. then the film loses its direction. for a start, once you get into the small community there's very little of interacting with the large one. most movies dealing with the miniaturisation have them interacting. here you can forget that you are in the small world, which is the point. more troublesome is the fact it has a number of threads it is trying to deal with, the eco—crisis, the personal crisis, the commentary on consumerism, staff about general middle—aged malaise, and somehow those elements don't only not come together, they start completely fracturing. the film is not short. it is two and a quarter hours long and it could have done with some downsizing in its running time, frankly. after the initial setup and promise, after what looked like being a good use of a science fiction premise, it falls apart. it's a shame because there are lots of interesting ideas and it's always good to see a director aiming big even if it does not come together. but i have to say there was a good half of it i find frustrating. having given you all these ideas, it then does not know what to do with them. it does not know whether it wants to be funny, satirical, sombre about the fate of the planet or whether it wants to concentrate on a marriage falling apart. it ends up not satisfying any of them. unfortunately, it is terribly unsatisfying, despite the fact it starts so well. very disappointing. i was a big fan of sideways. me, too. and i am a very big fan of wallace and gromit. and no disappointment for earlyman. a stone age clanis driven out of its valley by the arrival of lord knuth who says the stone age is over and long live the age of bronze. what then happens is the young hero, dug, agrees to have a football match for ownership of the valley. it turns out that way back in his heritage, football is deep in his genes. however, all his tribesmen can't play football, so they have to recruit a young woman to teach them to get the match ready. firstly, the visuals are incredible. they use some computer graphics to get a sense of stadium size, but all the primary animation has that aardman feel, it is physical, and i can see you looking at these images. it is fantastic. it is wonderful. and it is properly funny. it has great slapstickjokes that referred to harold lloyd and buster keaton. there is a homage at the very beginning, but it is also not about straightforward end of the pier, innuendo humour. i started laughing right from the very beginning. i never lost it, i laughed all the way through. in the screening there was only me and one other person. i became embarrassed by how much i was laughing. were they enjoying it too? they were enjoying it but not as much as i was. you see so many comedies with insufficient laughter. all the way through this i chuckled and i was delighted by the visuals. the story was charming. and i can go on my own, i don't need to find a child? everybody understands it. they make genuine family films for people of all ages. i would happily go back and see it again, not least because they were so many fleeting sight gags that i did not catch the first time round. i want to see it again. i love nick park, he does a greatjob. a genius. your third choice? last flag flying. it is adapted from a novel and the last detail was adapted into a film and this is the novel sequel to his novel. it is an adaptation of a novel that is not a sequel. we are going to test people on that. the story is three former marines are reunited decades later when one of their sons dies in iraq and they go on a road trip together. one of them has taken holy orders. they go on a road trip together and they bicker and the bond and they talk about the past and the present. here is a clip. what if i don't like it? we get stuck with a contract for two years? two years. what if you fall down? have you thought of that? with your legs that is a possibility. you cannot get up and nobody can see you? but with your mobile phone you can get it out and if you could see the numbers, your glasses, i can't see, help me, i cannot get up. 911 calls do not count against minutes either. come on! if i say yes, will you shut the hell up? the joy of it is the performances. laurence fishburne is really good. steve carrell is the person facing up to grief. i think he does that really brilliantly. if you go there looking for a film that is as cutting edge as the last detail, you will be disappointed. if you see it as a film in its own right and you are able to enjoy the ensemble performances, it is a film about their relationship, it is melancholic, it is sad and nostalgic. it is often laughed out loud funny. it will not change the world. rather than saying it is the sequel, it is more of a footnote, but a rather charming footnote, largely because the three central performances carry it through. you were enjoying that clip. yes. it is a film that stands on its own. oddly enough, the problem becomes if you try and put it next to others and it is a different kettle of fish. it is a not sequel to the movie. is that clear? i think so. and the best dvd? coco came out last week and i love three billboards. it is great that pixar animation is finally back at the top of its game. deals with some really complicated subjects. life, death, grief, loss, memory, but it does it in a way that children and adults alike can watch it. it looks beautiful. if you see it and you love it, get the book of life on dvd. it is a film that prefigures many themes and is also a very good movie. and dvd. ifelt ignorant when i read lots about this because of your forthcoming recommendation, and it sounds fascinating. ifelt bad i did not know very much about it. in between is a story about three women living in tel aviv, each fighting their own personal battle for freedom against political, religious and social repression. it is beautifully observed, fantastic performances, really, really well written. it deals with difficult subject matter, often very light—hearted and funny. it has a beautifully enigmatic ending and the best way of describing it is you have seen the graduate? yes! at the end is that incredible sense of ambiguity, i think it has that. it is really well worth seeing. it didn't get a huge theatrical release, but i have yet to meet anyone who has seen it who has not loved it. no greater recommendation than that. thank you very much, mark. an interesting week. we are now creeping up towards awards season as well. right in the middle of it. lots to talk about in the coming weeks. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going. see you next time. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and ben thompson. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop in west london. another 28—year—old man was arrested on friday night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a car mounted the pavement in hayes. the three victims have been named locally as josh kennedy, harry rice and george wilkinson. paris remains on high alert, with the river seine expected to rise to six metres above its normal level today. it follows some of france's heaviest rain for a century. sections of the louvre museum have closed, some properties have flooded and tourist boats are no longer operating. a close friend and political ally of president trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the republican party after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him. steve wynn, a billionaire casino owner,

morning's weather. a bit cold and misty outside. good morning. actually, today is going to turn out to be rather warm i think for this time of year. it could even turn out to be the warmest day of the year so far. that is not saying much because it is only 28 january but very mild air is coming across all the way from the atlantic at the moment. in many spots, already temperatures in double figures. when we do pull that air in from the atlantic, we pull off a lot of the moisture from the ocean, and basically that falls into cloud and thatis basically that falls into cloud and that is what we are stuck under the day. so not a particularly springlike looking day, but i think it could feel quite pleasant if you are out and about. a pretty windy day and we have a band of rain to the north which will affect northern ireland through the morning and further north in the scotland for the afternoon. for parts of western scotland, argyll & bute, the western highlands, some quite significant rainfall totals before we are through. always a bit more scant in the east. by that armageddon to northern ireland a dry story for the afternoon. some rain as far south as the northern pennines. further south a lot of cloud around, misty and murky across the hills. but with the help of the wind, which could be quite gusty, we turn that cloud over a little bit and temperatures could shoot up to 1a or 15 degrees. overnight tonight, some changes, however. this weather front we can see in the north will start to move its way south across the british isles. i don't know if you remember what was to the north of that it was colder air. for scotland first thing on monday a chilly start, patchy frost and a few showers. that called a rare will start to targets where further south across the british isles on monday as the weather front died south as well. a spell of rain on the way for england and wales. for scotland and northern ireland, clearing skies. we should see more on the way of sunshine. it will be a chance of some showers but the most notable thing will be a chilly feel to the day. across the northern half of the british isles on monday, a weather front bringing rain of the british isles on monday, a weatherfront bringing rain into of the british isles on monday, a weather front bringing rain into the middle part of england and wales, clearing the south coast as we get towards the evening. still pretty mild the southernmost counties but further north definitely a chilly field to proceedings on monday, and with those clearer skies overnight monday into tuesday, we could be looking at a widespread frost. so we are mild at the moment but keep that scraper are mild at the moment but keep that scraper ready because i think we could be scraping the car again come tuesday morning. thank you very much, susan. those temperatures are remarkable. now on breakfast it is time for the film review, with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode as ever. so mark, what do we have this week? interesting week. we've got downsizing. the new movie from alexander payne. earlyman, the latest offering from aardman animations, always a treat. and last flag flying, the not quite sequel to the last detail. it looks intriguing, your first choice, that's what i would say. intriguing is exactly the word. this is something a bit different. the best way to describe it is it takes riffs from the incredible shrinking man and innerspace and combines it with a bit of inconvenient truth and the american satire spanglish. really... 0k. the story is the earth's resources have been depleted and process has been discovered to shrink people down to five inches. you can save the planet, you become and use less resources. you produce less stuff to dispose of. everyone has agreed it is a good idea. but the reason people are doing it is because the lifestyle you get offered if you agree to become small is more extravagant than you can get in the big world. here's a clip. so the decision... downsizing takes pressure off, especially money pressure. it must be a good to know you are making a difference. all that crap about saving the planet? yes. downsizing is about saving yourself. we live like kings. i'm still in the same house i grew up in, audrey is dying to move, but we are strapped. a lot of small communities are cropping up. don't mess around. you get the best houses, best appliances, best doctors, the great restaurants. the kids love cheesecake factory. we've got three of them. can you back up a little? there might be too much garlic in the sauce. it is an interesting setup and it looks like the beginning of a great movie. then matt damon's character decides he is going to downsize and when he does, he discovers he's isolated, alone and discontent like he was in the bigger world, but only smaller. then the film loses its direction. for a start, once you get into the small community there's very little of interacting with the large one. most movies dealing with the miniaturisation have them interacting. here you can forget that you are in the small world, which is the point. more troublesome is the fact it has a number of threads it is trying to deal with, the eco—crisis, the personal crisis, the commentary on consumerism, staff about general middle—aged malaise, and somehow those elements don't only not come together, they start completely fracturing. the film is not short. it is two and a quarter hours long and it could have done with some downsizing in its running time, frankly. after the initial setup and promise, after what looked like being a good use of a science fiction premise, it falls apart. it's a shame because there are lots of interesting ideas and it's always good to see a director aiming big even if it does not come together. but i have to say there was a good half of it i find frustrating. having given you all these ideas, it then does not know what to do with them. it does not know whether it wants to be funny, satirical, sombre about the fate of the planet or whether it wants to concentrate on a marriage falling apart. it ends up not satisfying any of them. unfortunately, it is terribly unsatisfying, despite the fact it starts so well. very disappointing. i was a big fan of sideways. me, too. and i am a very big fan of wallace and gromit. and no disappointment for earlyman. a stone age clanis driven out of its valley by the arrival of lord knuth who says the stone age is over and long live the age of bronze. what then happens is the young hero, dug, agrees to have a football match for ownership of the valley. it turns out that way back in his heritage, football is deep in his genes. however, all his tribesmen can't play football, so they have to recruit a young woman to teach them to get the match ready. firstly, the visuals are incredible. they use some computer graphics to get a sense of stadium size, but all the primary animation has that aardman feel, it is physical, and i can see you looking at these images. it is fantastic. it is wonderful. and it is properly funny. it has great slapstickjokes that referred to harold lloyd and buster keaton. there is a homage at the very beginning, but it is also not about straightforward end of the pier, innuendo humour. i started laughing right from the very beginning. i never lost it, i laughed all the way through. in the screening there was only me and one other person. i became embarrassed by how much i was laughing. were they enjoying it too? they were enjoying it but not as much as i was. you see so many comedies with insufficient laughter. all the way through this i chuckled and i was delighted by the visuals. the story was charming. and i can go on my own, i don't need to find a child? everybody understands it. they make genuine family films for people of all ages. i would happily go back and see it again, not least because they were so many fleeting sight gags that i did not catch the first time round. i want to see it again. i love nick park, he does a greatjob. a genius. your third choice? last flag flying. it is adapted from a novel and the last detail was adapted into a film and this is the novel sequel to his novel. it is an adaptation of a novel that is not a sequel. we are going to test people on that. the story is three former marines are reunited decades later when one of their sons dies in iraq and they go on a road trip together. one of them has taken holy orders. they go on a road trip together and they bicker and the bond and they talk about the past and the present. here is a clip. what if i don't like it? we get stuck with a contract for two years? two years. what if you fall down? have you thought of that? with your legs that is a possibility. you cannot get up and nobody can see you? but with your mobile phone you can get it out and if you could see the numbers, your glasses, i can't see, help me, i cannot get up. 911 calls do not count against minutes either. come on! if i say yes, will you shut the hell up? the joy of it is the performances. laurence fishburne is really good. steve carrell is the person facing up to grief. i think he does that really brilliantly. if you go there looking for a film that is as cutting edge as the last detail, you will be disappointed. if you see it as a film in its own right and you are able to enjoy the ensemble performances, it is a film about their relationship, it is melancholic, it is sad and nostalgic. it is often laughed out loud funny. it will not change the world. rather than saying it is the sequel, it is more of a footnote, but a rather charming footnote, largely because the three central performances carry it through. you were enjoying that clip. yes. it is a film that stands on its own. oddly enough, the problem becomes if you try and put it next to others and it is a different kettle of fish. it is a not sequel to the movie. is that clear? i think so. and the best dvd? coco came out last week and i love three billboards. it is great that pixar animation is finally back at the top of its game. deals with some really complicated subjects. life, death, grief, loss, memory, but it does it in a way that children and adults alike can watch it. it looks beautiful. if you see it and you love it, get the book of life on dvd. it is a film that prefigures many themes and is also a very good movie. and dvd. ifelt ignorant when i read lots about this because of your forthcoming recommendation, and it sounds fascinating. ifelt bad i did not know very much about it. in between is a story about three women living in tel aviv, each fighting their own personal battle for freedom against political, religious and social repression. it is beautifully observed, fantastic performances, really, really well written. it deals with difficult subject matter, often very light—hearted and funny. it has a beautifully enigmatic ending and the best way of describing it is you have seen the graduate? yes! at the end is that incredible sense of ambiguity, i think it has that. it is really well worth seeing. it didn't get a huge theatrical release, but i have yet to meet anyone who has seen it who has not loved it. no greater recommendation than that. thank you very much, mark. an interesting week. we are now creeping up towards awards season as well. right in the middle of it. lots to talk about in the coming weeks. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. enjoy your cinema going. see you next time. goodbye. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and ben thompson. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc
