American and British bans on Russian oil has increased the pressure on European countries to do the same, but nations like Germany and the Nedherlands can't afford it.

Read the story Check the codeWho are the female directors that didn't make it into the BBC's greatest movies list?
Back in 2016, 177 movie critics from all around the world (actually, 82 from the US) chose what they considered the best 10 movies of the 21st Century. In the end, only the 100 most voted made it into a final list. A list with only 11 movies directed or co-directed by women. So we wondered: what other movies were selected but simply didn't appear on the final ranking? And lastly, do those movies -in general- portray more nuanced female characters, according to the Bechdel test?
