that perhaps people feel more confident about reporting it, the silver lining. there is a reporting spike as well. but we need more observation. and also more time. that would always be nice, wouldn't it? and two mori views on monday to friday. that is not my point of view, it is your point of view. that's it for the papers this hour. thank you, nigel nelson and jo phillips, you'll both be back at half 11 for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow. coming up next the film review. welcome to the film review on bbc news. taking us through the week was maximo releases is mark kermode. taking us through the week's film releases is mark kermode. this week we have it comes at night, which is a very creepy thriller. the midwife with catherine deneuve and catherine frot. and spider—man: homecoming. it comes at night. i have read enough to know that this is your kind of film, and so not mine. you have two minutes to persuade me. it is not a jump—scare horror like the trailers make it look like. if you expect that, you will be disappointed. it is a creepy thriller. it is set after the outbreak of an unspecified plague—like incident, which has pretty much done for civilisation. there was a family, mother, father, son living in a remote woodland. the windows are boarded up, there is a corridor with a red door which is the only access to the outside world. when an intruder breaks into the house, they have to make a decision about whether or not to a cce pt another family into their home. they would bring friendship and food supplies, but also bring suspicion and paranoia and desire, and mysterious sleepwalking. angela is in grandpa's room. she was having nightmares so i woke up. i was in the back hall, i saw the door open, i heard something. andrew was there? yes. you tell mummy what you remember. think real hard. tell me what you remember. i can't remember. does he sleepwalk? no, it doesn't make any sense. it is all that claustrophobic, is it? you get the sense of people starting to distrust each other and be suspicious of each other. if you think of a film like the witch that has deep themes, they are creepy but not full of jump scares. they make you feel very worried and uncomfortable. the sound effects and score work in favour of this film. it was terrific. it occupies a realm between being awake and being asleep. the screen contracts during certain sequences. it is implying it is a dream sequence. it is implying it is a dream sequence. maybe we are, maybe we are not awake or asleep. it is what happens when you lose track of objective reality and you just start to trust your fears. it is like that classic horror movie with a cold hand on the back of the neck. it is not the film the trailers make it look like. they make it look like it is a slam—bang horror. if you want something that is going to cause you to lose sleep, you should see it. i think you would not enjoy it but admire it. the director is only in his 20s. yes, it is just ridiculous, the director is only in his 20s. yes, it isjust ridiculous, he is incredibly talented. yes, it is just ridiculous, he is incredibly talented. it is all to do with what is implied rather than what is actually shown. which is the sort of film that is the most frightening. i hearyou, in terms of the skill that went into it. the midwife is about a friendship between the two main characters. catherine deneuve is beatrice, her father's lover has had a medical diagnosis, suddenly she reappears. what do you want? it turns out maybe she wants friendship, closure, maybe it's financial, who knows? these two characters start to build a friendship, one of these characters drinks and gambles. the key distinction between them is that one of them has been involved in bringing children into the world. what i like about this was it has well—observed characters. it has people in professions that you actually believe in. i can understand all of those things that happen and i can think that they really have these stories. it has a rather over—emphatic and tingling score. it tells you things are moving when you did not need to be taught. it was played with some very fine performances. it is understated. for the most part, it allows you to observe the characters. most important to believe in them. and that is important, to have characters that you can absolutely believe in. and that is on my list, oddly enough. and that is on my list, oddly enough. and that, oddly enough brings us to spider—man: homecoming. we spoke before about logan. i said that this was a low—key character study posing as a superhero movie, but this is like ferris bueller‘s day off with added webbing. he also happens to have the superpowers, and he wants to become an avenger. what he is desperately trying to do is to punch above his weight, whilst also keeping his identity absolutely secret. here is a clip. what is that? nothing. nothing. what are you doing in my room? are you an avenger? can you keep a secret? this is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. we are both chuckling. this is tom holland, who won the bafta award, a rising star. it is doing something different with the character. we have seen many incarnations of spiderman. we have seen many incarnations of spiderman. since i have been working as a critic this is the third or fourth spider—man film — how many times are you going to reboot this? they are playing to the adolescent story, the school boy story, the high school story, so there is all the action stuff, web spinning and dealing with criminals, but really what makes it work is the high school stuff, the stuff about wanting to fit in and being awkward, wanting to grow up but not actually growing up yet, and what he has actually got to do is hang out in the canteen. i liked it very much. i went in thinking, do we really need to go here, all over again? but this does do something different. he's very good. he's very charming in a very kind of oddball way. only one false step in the film, there's a lovely sequence which is a direct reference to ferris bueller‘s day off, and they make direct reference to it. we had got there already. it sounds good. it is good fun. you have been loving this, this week, as anyone who has been following you on twitter, baby driver. it is a car chase movie which is actually a musical. everything in it is cut to a fantastic selection of pop tunes. the joy of it, for me, is this. it is really brilliant cinema, see it on a big screen with a good sound system, it is witty, clever, poignant and nostalgic and it is made by somebody who was going to direct another movie and then walked away because it wasn't a film he wanted it to be. now he has made exactly the movie he wanted and it is a pleasure to see a director like edgar wright saying, this is the film i want to make. i have seen it three times. it is like an american in paris meets the french connection. i hear you, see it on the big screen. that said, a quick thought for anyone not wanting to see on the big screen, what is out on dvd? i mentioned it early on, logan. it is a film about ageing, about regret, about losing the powers that you once had. it is really well directed. you can do something really interesting with the superhero theme, and as long as we get movies like that and spider—man, there will always be new light, people say, haven't we had there will always be new life, people say, haven't we had enough of this? but as long as people keep reinventing it, it will not die out. that is a good week. yes, but you must go and see it comes at night. it will get under your skin and you will appreciate it. people are laughing in my ear. that said, still lovely to see you, as ever. mark kermode, thank you. a reminder that you can find all the film news and reviews online at the usual address. and you can find all of our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that is it this week. enjoy your cinema going. whatever it is you are brave enough to see. we have got some more warm sunshine across many parts of the country in the second half of the weekend. this front is bringing breezy conditions to the north—west of scotland and slowly edging southwards and is was into northern ireland and south—west scotla nd into northern ireland and south—west scotland into the early hours of sunday. elsewhere it is dry with variable amount of cloud. it is still quite muggy and sticky, pressure further north. through the day tomorrow this front will bring some patchy rain to northern ireland and western scotland, brightening up to the north of that. much of england and wales stays sunny and dry. passing light showers in the afternoon. top temperatures of 14 in glasgow and 27 in the london region. on sunday we will see sunshine breaking through, scattered showers in the afternoon. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11: donald trump says he's hoping for a quick trade deal with britain after brexit, but the prime minister asks him to re—think his climate stance. like other world leaders here, i am dismayed at the decision of the us to pull out of the paris agreement, andi to pull out of the paris agreement, and i have urged president trump to rejoin the agreement. vladimir putin says he's established a working relationship with president trump and says he assured him that russia did not meddle in the us election. celebrations in mosul as iraqi forces battle to defeat the last pockets of is resistance. the london mayor promises firefighters all the equipment they need after claims of a lack of resources at the grenfell blaze. jeremy corbyn addresses one of the biggest trade union
