three schoolchildren have been sentenced to a total of 28 years in detention or prison for killing 13—year—old 0lly stephens in berkshire injanuary after a row over social media. a girl lured him to the field in reading where two boys stabbed him to death. his parents have paid an emotional tribute to him and spoken of their devastation. 0ur correspondent helena wilkinson has more. 0lly was, his parents say, generous, caring and always a stand up for the defenceless. here he is leaving home on the day he was killed. he'd just told his mum he loved her. and then i went to the door and it was a boy that i knew... ..0lly wouldn't have anything to do with normally. and he said "0lly�*s been stabbed." and ijust remember running back towards the stairs, because stuart was upstairs and shouting "0lly�*s been stabbed," and his sister was up there as well, and they both came screaming down the stairs, and you ran out without your shoes on over to the field, and ijust, i remember when i got there, stuartjust fell to his knees, and he just was screaming "my boy, my boy, no." and he screamed that, and i looked over and 0lly was just completely lifeless. an off duty nurse found 0lly. she tried to resuscitate him but he died at the scene. today 0lly�*s parents came to the court to see the three 14—year—olds who killed their son sentenced for their crimes. to have shared the short amount of time we had with him was a gift in itself. we relaxed for a few moments, preoccupied with getting on with life, and took our eyes off him forjust a moment. it cost us and him dearly. 0urjourney, our life sentence has just begun. life without our beautiful boy. 0lly was lured to the park by the girl as part of a set up. the two boys were already there, waiting to attack. videos and photos found on the boys�* mobiles were shown to the jury. this is the younger boy, showing off his knives in his bedroom. he was 13 when he stabbed 0lly. the older boy was 1a, and had posed with a knife for photos himself. in her sentencing remarks, judge heather norton addressed the three 14—year—olds. she said what they had done that day was utterly cruel. she said to them they had taken one life, damaged their own futures and caused so much pain to so many people. when 0lly left home the day he was killed, his parents said he had a spring in his step, and laughter in his heart. that, they say, is how they will remember him. helena wilkinson, bbc news, reading crown court. now on bbc news, talking movies travels to los angeles to visit the brand new academy museum. right now, it's10:a5. traffic and weather together every ten minutes on the fives. another very hot day across southern california as offshore winds continue to pump in more of the hot, dry conditions. # everybody comes to hollywood. los angeles, widely regarded as the movie capital of the world, millions of dreamers have flocked here over the decades searching for hollywood people can go to hollywood boulevard, to the walk of fame or go on a studio tour. but many leave town disappointed that they haven't found a focal point in hollywood. this imposing new complex on the corner of wilshire boulevard and fairfax avenue may change all that when it opens its doors next week. hello from los angeles, i'm tom brooke, and welcome to our preview of the long awaited academy museum, billed as the largest institution in the us, devoted to exploring the art and science of movies and movie making. the museum's site consists of a converted old department store from 1939 connected to an adventurous, brand new futuristic structure which has been designed to provide america's film capital with something it's never had before — a cathedral for movies. we hope that the academy museum becomes the center place for people coming to los angeles looking for a sense of movie magic, looking to learn about cinema, looking to get connected to the academy. right now, the academy is mainly the oscars, which people see once a year globally. this is a home for the work of the academy and for the history of cinema. and we hope that tourists turn to us for that. it's baffling that los angeles has not had a movie museum of this scale in all of this time. in fact, the founders of the academy talked about a museum in 1929. so we've been waiting for this. and now that it's come atjust the right moment, it will be, as one of our governors said, "a beacon for our industry." and i think for the for the city of los angeles, it will be an incredible destination because it's really a beautiful public space as well. and then for movie lovers around the world, i mean, there's nothing like it. the museum is big, 50,000 square feet of exhibition space, along with two plush auditoriums and educational studio, a restaurant and much more. it's a museum celebrating cinema and its history. right now at a time in the world where the entertainment industry is in a sort of sea change, where the landscape is changing, a place where you can focus on what's the historical beginnings of all of that film, relatively young medium, you know, right through to now, i think never more necessary. it's an endeavor that film professionals see as having a major impact on redefining the academy, the umbrella organization that oversees the oscars, the museum and other entities. i love that people will begin to think about the academy for more than just the oscars. a lot of people think that's all they do, but they have a really important role to play in terms of the preservation of film culture as well. and they're in a city that is one of the great capitals of film culture. and what i, what i hope they will do and i've seen it in some of the programming they've set up already. so they'll go well beyond the current hollywood hits and the oscar winners and that sort of thing, and really dig deeper into international cinema, into independent cinema. and i think it'll give people an opportunity to literally walk through a wider range of film culture. when the museum, which has been in the works since 2011, welcomes in the public next week, after many delays, the opening night film will be a real hollywood classic, the wizard of oz, released in 1939. it's the widely—loved story known the world over of a young girl called dorothy, played byjudy garland in the magical land of oz. # somewhere over the rainbow. the wizard of oz is a film many people love, notjust love, it's a film that people feel a personal connection to. so many of us watched it growing up on television at home with our families. it was an annual event in my family. so it's a film that people really have a kind of emotional connection to. and that's one reason why we wanted to premiere our museum with that film. and now there's a gallery devoted to the wizard of oz that walks you through all of the arts, crafts, sciences professionals that worked on that film. it's a great way to deconstruct how a movie is made through the lens of one film. of course, we own the ruby slippers or one pair of the ruby slippers that's sitting in the center of the room. so it's an iconic movie. it stands the test of time. and one part of our campus, the former may company department store, opened in 1939, which is the year that the wizard of oz was released. the museum is also paying tribute to top film—maker spike lee, who brought world cinema such classics as do the right thing, it will be a special inaugural installation. then there is an exhibit devoted to the japanese animation master, hayao miyazaki, as well as a section highlighting the work of liberated spanish film—maker pedro almodovar. there's all kinds of memorabilia on display, including this sled rose bud, from the classic citizen kane and bruce the shark from the moviejaws. it's also a museum exploring the science of filmmaking throughout our galleries, especially in stories of cinema, you will learn about visual effects, cinematography. you will learn about the core science and technology components of how movies are made. so it's really powerful to look at these physical pieces of equipment and to learn about the artists and the scientists who created both the science behind it and the physical apparatus to bring special effects. and the science of moviemaking to the public. the academy museum was originally intended to be a largely uncritical celebration of the movie industry. then during its development came social upheaval led me to movement, black lives matter and more recently, the pandemic. as a result, the remit of the academy museum has changed. the title for an early plan for the core exhibition at the museum was where dreams are made, a journey inside the movies. now there's an agenda connected with more sobering realities. the film industry, like many industries, has been built on racist behavior, oppressive behavior, sexist behavior, homophobic behavior. we don't want to erase our past. we want to create a safe space for discovery and discussion around these topics. so you will see, for instance, in the animation gallery, in addition to learning about the history of animation from the silent film era through stop motion animation, digitalanimation, hand drawn, you'll also learn about racist and sexist tropes that one finds in animated films. historically, there's a way to blend those conversations. nothing should feel marginalized. and so we were when the me too movement happened, when george floyd was murdered last year, we were already working diligently to tell the more complex and frankly, less proud moments of our history, our cinematic history. we also have a gallery, i should mention, in stories of cinema, our exhibition devoted to social impact in moviemaking, the gallery's entitled impact reflection. and we're opening with that gallery devoted to four movements, black lives matter, labor relations, climate change and #metoo. and in that space, that's dedicated to discussing how documentary and narrative films deal with those social impact areas. we talk about these issues all the time asa team. they infuse all the ways that we're thinking about partnering with organizations around los angeles and around the country. they're shaping the ways that we're thinking about our pedagogical approach to use media as a way that can level the playing field, that can really empower communities that have been marginalized to tell their own stories. so it's a way for us to think about the ongoing relevance of movies, to recognize that movies have always had political and cultural impact, sometimes in ways that had not been acknowledged by the film industry, sometimes really damaging ways like castigating wholesale groups of people we're acknowledging those histories. and we're using this museum as a platform to think collectively about how can we change those practices going forward. some people might take the view, though, that you're advancing a progressive activist agenda by way of what you're saying, and the role of the museum is really to reflect the status quo. well, i don't know that the museum world can in any longer take that point of view. i think that neutrality is a position. and what we're trying to do here is to recognize that you're always taking a position. and if we can use the museum as a platform for addressing social inequities of the past, we recognize those things as a collective. and we hope that people will see this as a space to have these conversations to raise exactly the kind of question that you just raise. all of those questions are welcome here. the museum is very much a hollywood institution in terms of its geographical location and its celebration of cinema, but that's only partially true. that's a big effort for it to be a global center with the visitors it attracts and the cinema it showcases. somebody who might be watching you, say, in mumbai, which has its own bounteous film industry, might be thinking, well, this man isjust talking about a hollywood centric institution. is that the case? not the case at all. we're an international film museum. one of our galleries is devoted to pedro almodovar, one to bruce lee, one to chivo lubezki. fellini is featured in our oscar's gallery. when you're going to spike lee's gallery, you will learn about his influences. rossellini, de sica, melvin van peebles. so you'll see independent us movie making, hollywood, us movie making and international moviemaking throughout our galleries. we think of this as a global museum. i think this is another void in film history that we're going to be filling, which is to think not just about hollywood's centrality in world cinema, but really to take the concept of world cinema seriously. so our major exhibition on hayao miyazaki is the most extensive of its kind in north america _ and we're really going to think about the ways that he has developed work that is grounded injapanese culture, but global and its reach and its appeal. our collaboration with pedro almodovar is another example of looking at and working with an artist who speaks in cinematic language. so there are so many ways that people who are not familiar with the work of these filmmakers, not familiar with the work of other international filmmakers that are featured across our galleries, will make connections across these traditions. given that this is the academy museum, it follows that attention would be paid to the academy�*s most important event, the annual oscar ceremony, a special section of this building has been devoted to looking at the history of the oscars, the good moments and the bad. emma jones reports. it's the world's most famous red carpet, most famous awards ceremony and still the only reward for films that the public really prize. the oscars still have the power to thrill. and this exhibition goes right back to the first ceremony in 1929 when a world war i silent movie called wings, starring clara bow took the very first best picture award. there are plenty of oscar highs to celebrate, including in 2020, when parasite became the first non english language film to win best picture, but also shameful lows to acknowledge, notably hattie mcdaniel�*s treatments when she became the first african—american to win an oscar, when she triumphed gone with the wind in 1940. she was not allowed to sit with the rest of the cast, she sat in the back of the room. this was a moment where she was going to be celebrated or was celebrated but was not treated in an equitable way. we are the premiere organization devoted to celebrating excellence in the arts and sciences of moviemaking. but we've not always gotten it right. and i think the world knows that. rita moreno's best supporting actress win in 1962 for her role as anita in west side story, made her the first hispanic woman to receive an oscar, although few others have come after her. her oscar victory is marked in this exhibition too. moonlight�*s historic win in 2017 is also shown as the first film with an all black cast and first film with an lgbt protagonist to win best picture, even if at first la la land was announced as the winner. well, here's my first question. do you think it's a little dangerous handing out guns in a bank? then there's the controversial moments. michael moore never finished his speech after criticizing former presidents bush over the us led invasion of iraq when he won best documentary for bowling for columbine in 2003. he eventually did finish his speech at the critics choice documentary awards in 2018. to pick up a camera and fight the power to make your voice heard and stop this senseless war. thank you and good night. and that was the end of the speech. marlon brando sent a native american actress to decline his best actor award in 1973 for the godfather in order to protest the treatment of native americans in hollywood. we want to show that the oscars history is connected to social and political history, that it does not exist outside of the realms of real life. so that's not all that we have in that gallery. but that will strike us as significant moments to remind ourselves that an award show is not just about the awards, but about the society in which they are awarded. what do you think of the oscars, looking back on both the good and the bad things that they've done? i think, you know, they made, if they made this this - museum five years ago, it would have been - a very different thing. celebratory about the oscars. and this is a late period, bit of hand wringing. - and mayor called the hand up from hollywood, - i think is very welcome. but they have to be very - careful that they don't consign the oscars to a bit of history, putting it in a museum. - it sort of says, well, - this is what we used to do and that concerns me. it's still a living, _ breathing organism that can look forward and change. and putting it in a museum and saying we made a lot l of mistakes does - consign it to the big. nearly 25 years after titanic won 11 oscars, one of only three movies in oscar history to do so, the academy awards biggest challenge seems to be their relevance. few modern movies rival titanic or lord of the rings, return of the king in being huge crowd pleasers as well as oscar winners. tv viewing figures of the ceremony in 2021 were at a record low atjust under ten million in the usa. but audiences are watching on social media. this viral photo from 2014 got two million likes and two million tweets. i don't think there's less of an impact of the oscars on our culture. there's more social media around the oscar weekend and all that goes into that than any other spectacle. so the cultural impact of the oscars, i think, remains incredibly high. but by far, the biggest draw of the exhibition will probably be the ability to hold a golden statuette and have video footage to keep. don't forget to thank everyone. the academy museum is opening up at a very challenging time for the american film industry. box office takings are down significantly because of covid—19, and that is the sense that movies are perhaps less central to our lives than they have been in the past. some academy members see the museum as a trailblazer, rallying to support the film industry, especially cinema going, which is in a very fragile state as a result of covid. you might say it's a fight for the life of the medium. and so you need trailblazers and people who have all of the resources and glories of that medium at their disposal in order to either refresh people's minds, imaginations and hearts and souls about what's possible orjust to sort of explain what the differences are. but i think the i think we need it. i think we most certainly need it. and we need to be reminded. the fact the museum is opening with a very challenging time for the film industry is without question. next week, it will open its doors and charge the public $25 for admission. the final cost of completing the museum is almost $500 million. it's gone over budget. will it fly? will it become a success? anything that opens the doors in the middle of a pandemic has has huge challenges. and the pandemic is one of the reasons and the changing of the modes in the way that we consume film is a whole new generation that really doesn't worship movie theaters the way that my generation did the news films on their ipads or their iphones. there's no question that there's going to be a big audience for this museum. but will that same audience be there a generation from now? people are really questioning the two hour format of a movie because they're getting used to seeing long form television, which in many ways is more vital at this moment in time. you know what people are talking about are shows like the crown or succession or pax or you name it, there's more conversation. i think it's at the center of the culture now, not the individualfilm. you know, i think with any project of this size and scale, there are going to be unanticipated challenges which frankly present themselves as opportunities. and this project started in 2011. it was an idea, a continuation of other iterations of the academy museum. and i think ten years is not a long time to take an idea, find it a home, raise the money to build it, design and construct the campus, curate over 50,000 square feet of exhibition space, programme our theaters. we have months of programming lined up, so we're really proud that we were able to do that in the midst of a global pandemic, in the midst of shifting movie—going appetites and ways of watching movies. i think a museum like the academy museum can adapt to those changes and constantly remind people why movies and the stories of cinema are so important to all of us. this is something we all engage in. we see ourselves reflected in movies. we learn about other cultures and ourselves. # everybody�*s a dreamer. well, that brings our preview of the academy museum to a close, we hope you've enjoyed the show. please remember, you can always online. alash talking movies. and you can find us on facebook and twitter. so for me, tom, brooke and the rest of his team here in los angeles, it's goodbye as we wish. the new academy museum all the best with a movie loving public you can see. hello. on friday, we saw temperatures in oxfordshire up to 25.3 celsius, well above average for this stage in september. and through the weekend, we're going to be keeping the fairly warm, mainly dry theme with some sunshine around. now, the reason that temperatures are doing so well at the moment is because we're drawing in our winds from a south or south—westerly direction, so fairly tropical air in fact pushing across the uk. and if we compare the forecast temperatures to average for this time of year, in fact, they're about 5—6 degrees above average through the weekend. fast—forward now into the middle of next week, and you can see the reds and oranges have disappeared from the map, so temperatures will be average or even a little below by the time we get to around about tuesday next week. but for the here and now, we're going to be starting saturday morning on a mild note, with temperatures in the mid—teens. quite a lot of mist and murk, and in fact some areas around coasts and hills in the west could keep some fog all day, but it will gradually lift and clear and things will brighten up. so, some sunshine appearing, particularly for the likes of north wales, central and eastern england and eastern scotland, too. so, temperatures in the warmest spots, 22—23 degrees, but even where you have got the cloud, still 18—19 celsius. a bit breezy with the odd spot of drizzle for the west of scotland, but most other places avoiding any showers. as we move through the overnight period and on into sunday, there could just be one or two spots of showery rain here and there, but most places again looking largely dry and temperatures staying in the mid—teens again as we head on into sunday. so, no great changes for the weather. we have got a weather front waiting in the wings here. as it moves a little bit closer in, you'll start to notice the breeze picking up a touch on sunday. still from a southerly direction, a warm wind direction, so a lot of drier weather, probably a bit more sunshine on sunday compared to saturday. one or two rogue showers, rain later in the day arrives from the west across northern ireland and western scotland. but before it gets there, well, temperatures once again doing pretty well, 22—23 degrees for the warmer spots, well above average on sunday. but then let's take a look at sunday night into monday then. this weather front sweeps its way eastwards across the uk, so that is going to be marking that change into cooler air as we head through the early part of next week. weather fronts moving in from the atlantic, introducing notjust cooler air, but more unsettled weather as well. so, into next week, blustery showers, not as warm as it has been. do enjoy the warm sunshine if you see it through the weekend. bye for now. welcome to bbc news. our top stories. huawei executive mung clear wan—jo is on her way home to china from canada, after a deal was struck to drop the
