Lawyers for Prince Andrew have accused woman of trying to achieve another payday at the dukes expense. Virginia giuffre says she was sexually abused by him as a teenager. Prince andrew has always denied the claims and now has asked a judge to dismiss a civil lawsuit against them. I will correspondent has this report. After months he has appeared to ignore the civil lawsuit brought forward by Virginia Giuffre, he has now instructed lawyers to fight to clear his name. The queens second son has been accused by Virginia Giuffre of sexual abuse when she was 17, and thus a minor under us state law. In papers filed in new york last night, the princes lawyers have asked a court to dismiss the lawsuit or to require ms giuffre to provide a more definitive statement of allegations. Court papers state Prince Andrew never sexually abused or assaulted giuffre. A second argument advanced by Prince Andrews lawyers is that ms giuffre is not entitled to bring a lawsuit against him, she forfeited the right into thousand nine when she sued this man, jeffrey epstein, the person said to have organised the sex trafficking. Epstein took his Life In Prison Two years ago. Epstein had been a friend of andrew, but the princes lawyers said the 2009 Court Settlement included a clause that precludes ms giuffre from taking any further court action. It will now before the new york court to decide whether or not the case against the prince should be dismissed. Now on bbc news, Talking Movies. Hello, welcome to our special Talking Movies, a museum programme. After many delays, the museum here in the movie capital finally open doors to the public at the end of september. It made quite an impact. Built as a largest institution in the us devoted to the artist science and moviemaking, it has many champions in hollywood, including tom hanks who participated in the opening festivities. It matters for los angeles to have this film a museum. We all know films are made everywhere in the world and they are wonderful, films. There are other cities with film museums but, with all due respect, a place like los angeles created by the Motion Picture academy, this museum is really going to be the parthenon of such places. And those views were shared by some of the other big names attending the opening celebrations. It is crazy that there hasnt been anything like this in la before. I mean, its strange. This is la, they should be sent to most of everyone. It is really, really nice to see this is coming up to fruition. It isjust an is coming up to fruition. It is just an opportunity to reflect it is just an opportunity to reflect on the history of film and reflect on the history of film and to reflect on the history of film and to be able to go and be and see little and to be able to go and be and see little bits and pieces that build see little bits and pieces that build the industry that we are also build the industry that we are also lucky to be a part of, it is so also lucky to be a part of, it is so cool is so cool.

The museum entertainment, movies, right . The museum side entertainment, movies, right . The museum side is entertainment, movies, right . The museum side is built entertainment, movies, right . The museum side is built out. Entertainment, movies, right . | the museum side is built out of an old converted department store, connected to a brand new and futuristic structure designed to provide americas Film B Something it has never had before a cathedral. We had before a cathedral. We ho e had before a cathedral. We hepe that had before a cathedral. We hope that the had before a cathedral. Hope that the museum becomes a centrepiece for people coming to los angeles looking for a sense of movie magic, looking to learn about cinema looking to learn about cinema looking to get connected to the academy. At the moment, the academy. At the moment, the academy is merely the oscars which people see wallacia. This is a home for the work of the academy and a history of cinema. And we hope that tourists come here. What magnesium is also an extraordinary feat of design, designed by an italian architect. He believes that the building reflects the wonders of cinema. When you make a building, it needs to tell the story. This is a place of cinema, and cinema is old enough to have a museum, but young enough to need to be flexible, open to change. But what do critics and commentators in california make of architect renzo pianos creative achievement . The museum does seem to be on its way to becoming an appreciated iconic los angeles landmark. Im excited for what this building represents architecturally, which is an interesting new piece of contemporary architecture, which, while not lovable, is very interesting. Its trying to use what we already have, notjust Tearing Everything down and building anew, and i dont think theres an angelino in town who doesnt know the corner of wiltshire and fairfax who hasnt maybe posted to social media about it. It is a building that has been talked about for years, and i think now that people are going to be able to go inside of it, probably even more so. The museum is big 50,000 square feet of exhibition space, along with two plush auditoriums, an educational studio, a restaurant and much more. Its 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 whats the historical beginnings of all of that film, relatively young medium, you know right through to now, i think never more necessary. Its an endeavour that Film Professionals see as having a major impact on redefining the academy, the Umbrella Organisation 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 thats all they do, but they have a really Important Role to play in terms of the preservation of film culture as well, and theyre in a city that is one of the great capitals of film culture, and what i hope they will do, and ive seen it in some of the programming theyve set up already, is that theyll go well beyond, you know, 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 itll give people an opportunity to literally walk through a wider range of film culture. The museum, which has been in the works since 2011, was beset by numerous delays. When it finally welcomed in the public, the Opening Night film was a real hollywood classic The Wizard Of Oz, released in 1939. Youre off to see the wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of oz. It is the widely loved story known the world over of a young girl called dorothy, played byjudy garland, in the magical land of oz. It was seen as a fitting choice to launch this new hollywood institution. Lions . And tigers . And bears theres a gallery devoted to The Wizard Of Oz that walks you through all of the arts, crafts, sciences, professionals that worked on that film. Its 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 thats sitting in the centre of the room. So its 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 filmmaker spike lee, who brought world cinema such classics as do the right thing, with a special inaugural installation. Then theres an exhibit dedicated to Japanese Animation master Hayao Miyazaki, as well as a section highlighting the work of celebrated spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar. Theres all kinds of memorabilia on display, including the sled, rosebud, from the classic citizen kane, and bruce the shark from the moviejaws. Its 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 its 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. It was a clear black night, a clear white moon warren g was on the streets, trying to consume. The Academy Museum was originally intended to be a largely uncritical celebration of the movie industry. Then, during its development, came social upheaval. The Me Too 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, ajourney inside the movies. Now, theres an agenda connected with more sobering realities. 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 Core Exhibition, devoted to social impact in moviemaking. The gallerys entitled impact reflection, and were opening with that gallery devoted to four movements black lives matter, labour relations, Climate Change and me too. Its a way for us to think about the ongoing relevance of movies, to recognise 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 whole sale groups of people, were acknowledging those histories, and were using this museum as a platform to think collectively about how we can change those practices going forward. Some people might take the view, though, that youre advancing a Progressive Activist Agenda by way of what youre saying, and the role a the museum is really to reflect the status quo. Well, i dont know that the museum world can any longer take that point of view. I think that neutrality is a position, and what were trying to do here is to recognise that youre always taking a position, and if can use the museum as a platform for addressing social inequities of the past, we recognise 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 raised. All of those questions are welcome here. But haile gerima, a leading figure in black american independent cinema, wonders just how long this spirit of inclusiveness on the part of the Academy Museum will last. Gerima is a radicalfilmmaker whose credits include the Atlantic Slave Trade story sankofa. He has just received a Vantage Award from the museum, recognising an individual who has challenged dominant narratives in cinema. He views hollywood with disdain, as a White Supremacist stronghold. In some respects, though, he applauds the museum for giving him the award. I respect them for trying to use me to recognise the excluded people in a very exclusive White Supremacist club. The museum could be inclusive, it can, but then again, who is going to continue what it started . The newly opened Academy Museum in los angeles is very much a hollywood institution in terms of its geographical location, but theres a big effort for it to be a Global Centre 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. Were 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 oscars gallery. When you go into spike lees gallery, you will learn about his influences, rossellini, de sica, melvin van peebles, so youll see independent us moviemaking, hollywood us moviemaking and international moviemaking throughout our galleries. We think of this is a global museum. I think this is another void in film history that were going to be filling, which is to think not just about hollywoods 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 were really going to think about the ways that he has developed work that is grounded injapanese culture, but global in 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 flows that attention wouldnt pay to the academys most important event, the annual oscars 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. Its the worlds most famous red carpet, Most Famous Awards ceremony and still the only reward for films that the public really prize. The oscars still have 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 treatment when she became the first African American to win a oscar when triumphed for Gone With The Wind in 1940. No use trying to sweet talk me, miss scarlett. I knows you ever since i put the first pair of diapers on you. 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 organisation devoted to celebrating excellence in the arts and sciences of moviemaking, but weve not always gotten it right, and i think the world knows that. A terrible time in america. You forget im in america rita morenos 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. At some point, you gotta to decide for yourself who you wanna be. 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, heres my first question do you think its a little dangerous handing out guns in a bank . Then theres the controversial moments. Michael moore never finished his speech after criticising former president s bush after 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, make your voice heard and stop this senseless war. Thank you and goodnight. 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 at 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 thats not all that we have in that gallery, but those strike us as significant moments to remind ourselves that an awards 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 on the bad things that theyve done . I think, you know, if they made 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 handwringing and mea culpa hand up from hollywood. I think its very welcome, but they have to be very careful that they dont consign the oscars to a bit of history. Youre putting it in a museum, it sort of says, well, this is what we used to do, and that concerns me. Its still a living, Breathing Organism that can look forward and change, and putting it in a museum and saying we made a lot of mistakes does consign it to the bin. Youre here. 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 the 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 10 million in the usa. But audiences are watching on social media. This viral photo from 2014 got 2 million likes and 2 million retweets. I dont think theres less of an impact of the oscars on our culture. Theres 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, is remains incredibly high. Ive got a feeling im not the only one. The Academy Museum is opening up at a very challenging time for the american Film Industry. There 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 its a fight for the life of the media 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 peoples minds, imaginations and hearts and souls about whats 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. That the museum is opening at a very challenging time for the Film Industry is without question. The final cost of completing the museum is almost 500 million. Its gone over budget. Will it fly . Will it become a success . Theres no question that theres going to be a big audience for this museum, but will that same audience be there a generation from now . Theres a whole new generation that really doesnt worship Movie Theatres the way that my generation did, that views films on their ipads or their iphones. People are really questioning the 2 hour format of a movie because theyre getting used to seeing longform television, which, in many ways, is more vital at this moment in time. This project started in 2011. It was an idea. 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 theatres we have months of programming lined up. So were really proud that we were able to do that in the midst of a global pandemic, in the midst of Shifting Moviegoing 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. In my own opinion, there is no doubt that the film world is better off with this new Academy Museum now in place. It is trying to represent the Film Industry, which is being heavily scrutinised for past and present transgressions from a wide range of groups and interested parties. It needs to stake out a position that it will, indeed, be a Global Institution reflecting the magic of cinema in the context of fair and spirited debate, notjust a one sided Echo Chamber Presenting One View of movie history. You can be sure the whole world will be watching. Well, that brings this special Talking Movies Academy Museum review programme to a close. We hope youve enjoyed the show. Please remember you can always reach us online and you can find us on facebook and twitter. So from me, tom brook, and the rest of the Talking Movies Production Team here in los angeles, its goodbye as we leave you with a young judy garland singing in the movie The Wizard Of Oz. That picture was the Opening Night film here at the Academy Museum. Somewhere Over The Rainbow bluebirds fly birds fly Over The Rainbow why then, oh, why cant i . Good morning. Saturday started off very wet for some of us but the story quickly improved to some sunny spells in the afternoon and just some isolated showers and areas have seen some pretty miserable weather recently including the borders, well, it was better today with glimpses of sunshine around. Similar story today. Sunday will start off pretty wet across some areas with a significant area of low pressure and into the southern flank of that low we are likely to see Gale Force Winds and that may act as a friend in some respects. It will push the heavy Early Morning rain quickly northwards and it will tend to linger across the far north of scotland but an improvement as we go through the morning and into the afternoon with a frequent cluster of showers driven in along west facing coasts. Gusts of winds inland close to 30mph, but those west facing coasts, possibly 50mph at times. In terms of the feel of the weather, 10 13 degrees in scotland and northern ireland, 13 or 1a further south. Moving out of sunday into start of monday and the start of a new month, the low pressure will drift off into scandinavia and the Wind Direction will swing north westerly, a cooler source, and that will drive the warmer yellow tones back to the continent, the cooler air mass pushing across the uk, meaning temperatures in the first few days of november could bejust a little bit under par for this time of year. We start off monday on a chilly note first thing where we have clearer skies and a frequent rash of showers driven along by the brisk north westerly wind, some showers pushed further south as we go through the afternoon. Temperatures just 8 10 degrees into the north and may be a maximum of 12 or 13 further south. The middle part of the week, that north westerly flow is likely to stay with us and we see the ridge of High Pressure trying to build in from the atlantic, and it is likely to kill off some of the showers but it does mean that we are going to stay on the cool side for this time of year. It also means we could see more in the way of Overnight Frost and we have not seen much significant frost so far this season but it means that overall things will stay dry and quieter but on the cool side as we go through the week ahead. Take care. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast, with rogerjohnson and nina warhurst. Our headlines today the worlds moment of truth. Borisjohnson urges leaders to use their summit in glasgow to start to fix Climate Change. We think that we can be on a remorseless forward march, when actually we can be actively conniving in our own decline and fall. Than 25,000 people start to arrive in the city, but there are concerns about whether any agreement on limiting Global Warming will go far enough.
