As british Prime Minister. An increasing number of conservatives say they want to see mrjohnson secure a Second Period at number 10 downing st. The first wild bison for thousands of years has been born in the uk. Three bison were released back injuly as part of a Rewilding Project in kent 0h, shes shes like A Ray Of Sunshine on a dark, cloudy day. Its thousands of years since a bison was born in the wild in britain. So this is quite a moment in kents blean woods. Europes largest mammal, once hunted almost to extinction, taking her first steps. Shes a little ball of energy. And when she sees. When we get a little bit of rain, she starts sprinting around and its, whats this stuff falling out of the sky . Shes fantastic. Shes doing so, so well. Donovan oversaw the arrival of the first three bison in july. Its basically a little treat, but that is the menu, what you see out there. These bison are not free to roam. Under uk law, theyve rather unfairly been classed as dangerous animals, which means they have to be surrounded by this rather big fence. They look for food. The role of the bison in the rewilding is to act through the forest and killing trees in time, the greatest aspiration would be to drop the fences, leave the fencing alone, and let the bison move through a native english landscape as as they were intended. Do you think thats really realistic . I do. So this baby bison could be just the beginning. Jonah fisher, bbc news, in kent. Now on bbc news, Talking Movies Celebrates 100 years of the bbc by talking to some of the biggest names in the british Film Industry. Hello from london, im tom brook.

The bbc help to train the man who is without any doubt and eldest statesman of british summer, 86 year ken loach. With more than 50 directing credits to his name, he has made such classics as kes, the wind that shakes the barley and i, daniel blake. Andy has won the top prize at the palme d0r, and at the canne Film Festival twice. This is a british broadcasting corporation. I met him in the heart of the old Broadcasting Housein heart of the old Broadcasting House in london. How did you come to actually work for the bbc . I was working. I had Left University and became a brief collector, not a very good one, directing and the theatre and then a floor manager, and i applied as a director and got taken on and did a course for six weeks, which was mainly about what forms you had to fill in to get the services you needed. We had half a day and total for what to do with the cameras, and that was the extent of the training. Andy got his first real test of direct link with z cars. Nobody gives a damn for the law the much loved police drama that went on the air in 1962. Z cars, they didnt know what 2 cars, they didnt know what the hell 2 cars, they didnt know what the hell i 2 cars, they didnt know what the hell i was doing but i learned the hell i was doing but i learned on the job.

As a fervent socialist, he has mixed l socialist, he has mixed feelings when it comes to the bbc and its centenary, seeing it as the voice of the state, but this Diehard Lafuente cherishes what he learned in his more than 15 years at the corporation, and as someone who listens and watches the output, and complains about alleged bias, he remains a lifelong fan. The bbc has helped to define who we are, it has helped to define our identity. I feel very precious about this, i grew up when we grow up we said, this is the National Theatre for people, it is the National Theatre of the air. Another Great British filmmaker, mike leugh is known for bringing realism to the big screen through his unique improvisational approach to creating his screenplays. He has made some 1a feature films, including such titles as mr turner, secrets and lies, and vera drake. The bbc means a lot to him, it is after all the institution where he created some really impressive Television Films and plays in the 1970s. For 50 years in his films, mike leugh, a seven time 0scar nominee has bought audiences stories of often ordinary lives, authentically told. Growing up, how aware of you where you of the bbc in your home . 0h totally i mean, at first most people didnt have a television. Going to a Primary School in salford, every so often a kid would come in and say, hey, weve got a television so that was a big deal. Of course we know there was only the bbc, it was the only channel. Initially, mike leugh face rejection from the bbc having worked in theatre turned down twice for the bbc� s trainee director course, but he ended up director course, but he ended up being invited by the corporation in 1973 to direct a production for its highly respected Play For Today. You see, father, its my husband. Your husband . Husband. Your husband . Inaudible well . I dont your husband . Inaudible well . I dont love him. I dont love him. I made this first called hard labour, which starred liz smith as a Cleaning Lady in manchester. We felt it up north, really and the area where i grew up in north salford, and in fact i spent an extra 12 years making this various Play For Today films. Your monk shut up, lawrence dont tell me to shut up angela, dont tell me to shut up angela, code. Dont tell me to shut up angela, code. No, its all riuht. Right. The 12 Years Of Making Films at the bbc the 12 Years Of Making Films at the bbc was massively important. Apart from the fact that one important. Apart from the fact that one was able to do what i am committed to do, and was and still am committed to do, and was and stittam, am committed to do, and was and still am, which is to make films still am, which is to make films about real people and reat films about real people and real peoples lies. Wheh real peoples lies. When mike leugh was directing Play For Today he believes it was a time for more openness for challenging drama. There are times i kinda feel a sense of, im not doing anything,. But you objectively know that is nonsense. He is nonsense. He doesnt find the bbc so welcoming nowadays. There welcoming nowadays. There is now such a preoccupation with ratings and with. Preoccupation with ratings and with. Respectability, and with. Respectability, and political correctness. With. Respectability, and political correctness. There is a certain kind of lack of adventurousness. Its difficult not to talk about this without sounding like a disgruntled and disappointed when joe, disgruntled and disappointed whenjoe, but disgruntled and disappointed when joe, but that is disgruntled and disappointed whenjoe, but that is because i am a disgruntled and disappointed whinger. He uses a unique process. Improvise as though the person were really reacting spontaneously. He doesnt use a prescription. Through exploration with his actors and extensive rehearsal, actors and extensive rehearsal, a story emerges organically. What i think spoils it is her stating it is going to happen. He got to develop the approach of the bbc. Iby; he got to develop the approach of the bbc of the bbc. By the time i worked at of the bbc. By the time i worked at the of the bbc. By the time i worked at the bbc of the bbc. By the time i worked at the bbc i of the bbc. By the time i worked at the bbc i had | of the sac. By the time i worked at the bbc i had done quite a lot of work to developing the way that i work. The great thing about working at the bbc as i could carry on developing that with greater resources and obviously with a much wider reach reaching much wider reach reaching much wider reach reaching much wider audience, so, yeah, i was able to do it and it was to do so with great freedom, and encouragement. Ifirst met director and encouragement. I first Met Directorjames Marsh when he was a young man, passing through the bbc new york office in the 1990s when he was working on a number of stellar documentaries. He has since moved on to movie greatness and is now considered a world class filmmaker. He won an oscar trophy for man on wire. A documentary. The 59 year marsh cut his teeth working on numerous bbc productions, principally in the early 1990s on arena, the documentary series. He recalls being influenced by the bbc from an early age when his family bought its first television. I think the main impact on my career was watching Play For Today. Such a tiny little picture, such such a tiny little picture, such a such a tiny little picture, such a tiny little box of pe0pte such a tiny little box of people together. And people together. And encountering people, and cinema in britain at that time wasnt particularly flourishing as a medium, this is the early 19705, 19805, and beyond. You could watch the work of alex clark, it was truly cinematic. And obviously scum was a controversial project but there were other projects like a christian, my contact, the firm. These were great pieces of dramatic cinema. And how much of experience of watching the bbc programming made you think that perhaps you would maybe one day like to work with the corporation ordered that lot into your mind. Honestly, it wasnt the bbc, i dont many people would grow up saying that, it you did, tom, but for me. It was more, could you do this . Can you make these things yourself is to Mark James Marsh came to the bbc as a researcher. He was on The Late Show in 1988 before moving to arena where he found his bosses, his mentors, were open to all kinds of ideas. I had these nights where they would have the whole multiple episodes of films, interesting kind of bits in between the films, and so i said, i want to makea films, and so i said, i want to make a film in latin,. Speaks latin. Some animals were put on trial in mediaeval europe. So if a pig savage to baby the pig would be arrested, put in jail and formally tried. With defence attorneys and prosecutions will stop so at the time there was enormous amounts of freedom to experiment, because no one was really watching in terms of the hierarchies of the bbc. Hierarchies of the bbc. James marsh made hierarchies of the bbc. James marsh made several hierarchies of the bbc. James | marsh made several acclaimed documentaries during his time with arena, many of which were shotin with arena, many of which were shot in the united states. He recalls how working for the corporation gave him a lot of access. ,. , access. The other thing about the bbc which access. The other thing about the bbc which was access. The other thing about the bbc which was very access. The other thing about i the bbc which was very helpful, is that they had a great soft brand, particularly in america, elsewhere as well im sure, but america where i often worked, where everybody would respond to im from the bbc for better orfor to im from the bbc for better or for worse, to im from the bbc for better orfor worse, and to im from the bbc for better or for worse, and you would get people to talk to you when they wouldnt talk to anyone else. So that opened doors for you and show you you were working for a Global Organisation that had enormous respect in the world. But organisation that had enormous respect in the world. Respect in the world. But james marsh credits respect in the world. But james marsh credits the respect in the world. But james marsh credits the bbc, respect in the world. But james marsh credits the bbc, or respect in the world. But james marsh credits the bbc, or at. Marsh credits the bbc, or at least his days at arena with some of his major career triumphs. He won an oscar in 2009 for his documentary man on wire, for the french tight rope walker Philip Petite and his daring walk between the towers of the world trade center. Arenas structure is very inventive for the dramatisations that are kind of comic. Without my work there i would never have made that film how it worked out. We should be asking for arena. Asking for arena. Mary harron is one of asking for arena. Mary harron is one of americas asking for arena. Mary harron is one of americas most asking for arena.

So there was, in a way, you could go up and do something quite obscure which was great. The late show as a whole discussion about a whole form of post modernism, or noam chomsky, and then you would have some wacky game show and they were doing everything. And that was their strength.

Her latest feature, the Refugee Drama Swimmers One the prestigious Opening Night slot at the Toronto International Film Festival stop and her first feature, my brother the devil, one has of awards. For her, the bbc has been an Important Institution and it has to light from an early age. As a filmmaker Sally El Hosaini has been enjoying considerable success. Her new feature film the swimmers, an inspirational portrait of real life Refugee Syrian swimmers has been attracting attention. But it was programming created in this building, bush house in london, that once housed the Bbc World Service radio which really nurtured Sally El Hosaini when she was going up in egypt. I feel incredibly nostalgic and sentimental about the bbc because what it does is amazing, really. As a child growing up in cairo, the bbc wasa growing up in cairo, the bbc was a soundtrack to my childhood stop we had this old radio that my dad bought as a student at Liverpool University and brought back to egypt, and it took a while to heat up, once you turned it on, but then it would stay on most of the day.

The way it faces the world, the way the world approaches the uk through the bbc, so i hope it holds onto its identity for the next 100 years, and it keeps going, and that it can continue to be bleakly funded and not privatised so that it can retain its core values, which.

Now that i own the bbc what am i supposed to make of this thing. All this power, all this glory. All these djs and all these stories. What was i thinking, what was ithinking. Hey rupert murdoch, help me out. Im flying blind, im flying blind. Now that i own the bbc. Hello there. Friday brought heavy rain forsome, and in areas where we are desperate for it. The heaviest of the rain moving up through dorset across the midlands and, in fact, there was over an inch of rainfall in parts of 0xfordshire throughout the day, so some pretty muddy fields starting to develop now. However, eastern england, lots of blue sky and sunshine and temperatures peaked at 20 degrees. It was a beautiful opportunity for getting out and enjoying some of the gorgeous autumn colour that we have. The start of the weekend quite promising with this little bump of High Pressure but the second half of the weekend sees this low developing, moving in and bringing further outbreaks of rain. Once again, the winds will become a feature but we keep the Wind Direction from a southerly, so that milder flow stays with us. Those temperatures are widely going to sit in the mid to high teens over the next few days. So on saturday, well have some outbreaks of showery rain through northern ireland, pushing out of Northern England into Southern Scotland and weakening just a touch. At the same time, well start to see showers, some of them heavy and thundery, gathering into the south west. But sandwiched in between the two, thats where the best of the sunshine is likely to be, and temperatures again peaking at 18 19 degrees with that sunshine. Itll feel very pleasant. Into sunday heres that low, then, starting to bring some heavy, thundery downpours up across the country. A spell of wet weather through the morning which will pretty much start to grind to a halt across Central Scotland into the afternoon. Brightening up with sharper showers behind and still pretty warm with it, so a day of contrasts, i suspect, once again into sunday afternoon. Now, as we move into the beginning of the week, that Frontal System will start to push through the far north of scotland but were still going to keep the threat of further fronts moving in from the west as we go through the week ahead. So on monday, weve got some wet weather clearing scotland. Sunny spells and scattered showers behind. Still the risk that some of those showers could be thundery, chiefly out to the west. The best of the drier weather once again remains for eastern england. And again, were going to see those temperatures into the high teens above where they should be for this time of year. And thats going to be the trend as we go through the week ahead. It stays relatively mild but weve got more showers to come towards the end of the working week. Thats it. Whatever youre doing, have a lovely weekend. This is bbc news. Im rich preston.
