Cineworld temporarily closes UK and US cinemas

A dearth of film releases has led Cineworld to close more than 650 UK and US cinemas.

A dearth of film releases has led Cineworld to close more than 650 UK and US cinemas. Hannah Woodhead is associate editor of movie magazine Little White Lies, and assesses the current health of the movie industry. Also in the programme, on transfer deadline day for Europe's football clubs, and with some predictions of a potential 35% decline in spending by the continent's five biggest leagues, we examine the impact of coronavirus with football finance expert Kieran Maguire of the University of Liverpool. Plus, the 大象传媒's Justin Rowlatt asks if the world's century-old electricity grids are fit for the era of solar and wind power, or whether a completely new kind of electricity transmission is required.
