good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the us appeals court has delivered another blow to president trump's travel ban on people from seven mainly—muslim countries. it has refused to reinstate the ban, which was suspended yesterday by a federal court in washington state. those from the affected countries, who had been prevented from travelling, have now been arriving in the united states. jane frances kelly reports. passengers arriving in the us while they can. for now at least, the lifting of president trump's travel ban denying entry to people from seven mainly muslim countries remains. this iraqi family just landing in new york know that future opportunities to travel are uncertain. we are very excited,

we are very happy. finally we have been cleared, we are allowed to enter the united states. one man from yemen, a country which is on the list, quickly booked a flight back from turkey, where he'd been visiting his fiancee. i'm very happy, i know i'm free now, i feel safe now. a ruling late on friday byjudgejames robart in seattle led to president trump's order being suspended. in a series of tweets yesterday, president trump vowed to restore the ban, denouncing him as a so—called judge. the vice president speaking on american tv defended the administration. we face a dangerous enemy, inspiring people to come into this country, frankly inspiring people already in this country, and the president is determined to use the authority he already has under the constitution and under the law. but doesn't thisjudge have the authority to do what he did as well? he certainly does and that's why the administration is compliant with their word as we speak. despite president trump's anger, in the latest legal twist, a federal appeals court has denied thejustice department's

request for an immediate reinstatement of the ban. the court has given the white house and the states challenging it a deadline of monday to present more arguments. the executive order has provoked mass protests. critics say the ban is a violation of the constitution, but the president said it's not about religion but ensuring the country's national security. the acting solicitor general has argued president trump alone and not the judiciary has the power to decide who can enter or stay in the us. jane frances kelly, bbc news. earlier i spoke to dr brian klaas, a fellow in comparative politics at the london school of economics. i began by asking him how vulnerable the travel ban was to legal challenge. it was a slapdash and sloppy, rushed attempt to institute a campaign pledge. given that trump had said on

the campaign trail repeatedly he thought muslims shouldn't be allowed in the united states, then the mayor said they were trying to find a legal way to do this, it was obvious it was a muslim ban. beyond that, the secretary of homeland security was not briefed appropriately so the political wing of the right house rushed this through and ended up creating a vulnerability to these type of legal challenges. do you think the white house will learn from this? are you surprised president trump didn't take better advice or surround himself with advisers who might say let's look at this more carefully? i think so, there was recklessness here. people like steve bannon, major influential figures for trump, they are realising they are in charge of one branch of government. this process is playing out through the courts, as it should. what do you make of donald trump's response tojudge

robart? his attacking the judiciary in an unprecedented personal way. to call someone a so—called judge and say he is imperilling national security by effectively doing his job is something you don't normally see out of presidents. so where is this going to go? picking up on the thought of his party worrying about how he's handling this, is the party in congress going to try to rein him in? we have seen him use lots of executive orders so far. he hasn't had to consult congress over those, clearly. will he use those more in the future do you think?|j clearly. will he use those more in the future do you think? i think privately many republican members of congress are livid. they wish they we re congress are livid. they wish they were not tied to this and they are

caught between the primary base of republican voters, and for some of them their principles because this is something a lot of people spoke out against during the campaign when trump talked about a muslim ban. there was a wave of opposition to it, now there's a more tepid response because he's in power so they will have to calculate how they go forward and many privately are unhappy. do you think president trump is making the transition from ceo to acting in this presidential way? yes, there's a lot more restrictions on president than on a business person. you to —— have to build coalitions as a president, and he didn't really do that. he tried to ram this through and now he's getting the push back that was almost certainly going to be there, inevitably. dr brian klaas, a fellow in comparative politics

at the london school of economics. the conservatives have signalled a shift away from encouraging home ownership for all, one of the party's guiding principles since margaret thatcher's time in office. the government is to propose measures to create secure, longer term tenancies in the private rented sector and more properties built for rent. the housing minister, gavin barwell, says that buying a home is no longer affordable for some people and the government needs to do more to encourage renting. property market analyst andrew teacher told us how property investors would view the shift in policy. it's about choice. if you want a

professionally managed apartment that has amenities with it, you can have that, if you want to rent a flat in the victorian house conversion, you can have that or or if you can afford to own then there's an array of ownership offers as well so is about getting rid of that stigma and allowing staff to be built without the current red tape and bureaucracy that we see in the planning system. so what impact will this have on the rental sector? the bbc‘s political correspondent mark lobel spoke to me earlier. this is the conservative party signalling a change of tone. it is catching up with the reality that many people aren't realistically going to own their own home. numbers only have dropped and numbers renting have risen so they will provide help in that way. there's not much detail at the moment in all of this so how much more of what we do know is new? they say they want to tackle the high rents and to extend tenancies so people can plan to stay in places for longer because the proportion of people renting with children is going up. they also talk about the fact councils will be able to plant these build to rent

houses and want consultation with developers in the way housing associations do about these longer tenancies so they earmarks certain amounts of housing for lower rents and longer tenancies. in terms of the detail, how are they going to guarantee that these rents are affordable, that these tenancies will be setup with a minimum term? we just will be setup with a minimum term? wejust don't will be setup with a minimum term? we just don't know yet. the housing white paper comes out on tuesday and it will outline consultations that need to take place. the housing minister, gavin barwell, was axed about what this fair rent would be and he said it would be about 20% below the market but could change in different parts of the country. housing associations have social trends that are sometimes 60% of the market rate so slightly lower than what he was suggesting that we are yet to see it. it is worth saying labour have pointed out that last

yearin labour have pointed out that last year in terms of affordable new builds, it was the lowest figure for 24 builds, it was the lowest figure for 2a years so the challenge is huge for the government. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says he'll announce changes to his shadow cabinet this week. labour mps had been instructed to vote in favour of triggering article 50 when the legislation was debated in the commons, but some front—bench mps rebelled. he told the world this weekend on radio 4 that he was committed to keeping parliament fully involved in the brexit negotiation process. i'm talking to all of them, we will be announcing changes in the shadow cabinet in the next few days. shouldn't you be more lenient? i'm a very lenient person. if frontbenchers vote for article 50 at the third reading, could they keep theirjobs? you're asking me a very hypothetical question here. i will be making an announcement during the week. we will be putting very strong amendments to the house on monday, tuesday and wednesday, and we invite all other parties to recognise the importance of parliament having a role in the article 50 negotiations, and have an accountable vote to how the government is getting

on throughout these negotiations. these are very important times for this country, parliament must be fully involved in it. meanwhile the labour leader has visited a mosque in london as part of a day to help people understand about islam. 150 venues across the uk are opening their doors to the public for "visit my mosque day". jeremy corbyn went to the finsbury park mosque. this is the second year the project has run and has been organised by the muslim council of britain. the government should be stripped of responsibility for overseeing rail companies' franchises, according to mps on the transport committee. their report criticises the department for transport forfailing to hold rail companies to their promises. the government says it's already implementing many of the mps' recommendations. here's our business correspondent joe lynam. if you're a regular train user, you'll know all about the disruption at southern rail, the above—inflation

ticket price rises and carriages bursting at peak times. how do you feel about rail franchises, though? i live in halifax so i always get the northern line to manchester or to leeds and it's always late. there's, like, two carriages for a million people. it's very expensive, that's why i don't normally use them because i can drive much cheaper. i think there should still be franchising but it needs more regulations in place to punish the train companies. i tend to travel on virgin, i tend to prefer them over the other ones. they tend to be very reliable. the transport select committee which oversees the government says that taxpayers are still on the hook when things go wrong on the railways, and the department for transport should no longer control and monitor rail franchises. that should be handed over to the independent office for road and rail. the cost of running

the railways hasn't gone down. the system doesn't work together very well. and in reality there is actually very little competition. but the transport secretary said he is aware of the problems and is solving the issue of different parts of the sector not connecting very well. they say there's not enough coordination between network rail, the infrastructure operator, the track operator and the train companies. i agree with that. before christmas i set out plans to start to reunite track and train step by step. train operators say that franchising, which has been around for 21 years, has been a success story and passenger numbers have doubled. but with satisfaction dwindling and overcrowding soaring, reform might be coming down the track. joe lynam, bbc news. an 18—year—old man has been shot dead in a pub car park at llanbedrog, in gwynedd in north wales. police says the man was in a vehicle outside the ship inn when he was attacked. four people have been arrested. romania's government has withdrawn a controversial decree that would have reduced some penalties for corruption. the prime minister, sorin grindeanu,

said he did not want to divide the country after days of huge street protests. our correspondent in bucharest, nick thorpe, told us more about the government's reversal. it is admitting that the method that it pushed it through during the night on tuesday very suddenly and unexpectedly was probably a mistake, but it is standing by its original motivation, as it puts it, to pass it. the government is arguing and a leader of the government i spoke to earlier today explained this in the following terms, that basically, as he put it, thejudiciary in romania, and these were strong condemnations, is not independent yet. he said the prosecutors, thejudiciary is not independent yet. he said the prosecutors, the judiciary and is not independent yet. he said the prosecutors, thejudiciary and even secret services were running amok and all the government have been trying to do with this decree was to rein them in and rebalance the state institutions. of course that's not how these hundreds of thousands of

protesters have seen it, and here tonight in bucharest more people are gathering once again, possibly for the last of this long series. possibly the last of a long series, you say, so does that mean we are talking about the end of these big protests ? talking about the end of these big protests? originally this protest tonight was planned as the biggest of them all and it may yet prove to be very large despite the fact the government have now backed down. i think the mood on the street is that people don't trust the government. they didn't like the way they introduced this measure and the government has said it will prepare a law. nobody is sure what will be in that law. the government is promising a big debate this time but evenif promising a big debate this time but even if it is the last in this series of protests people will be vigilant. they want to warn the government in the coming days and weeks that they are watching closely what they do, and if people on the street, these large protests across

romania were to feel the government is going to introduce anything like the original decree, then i think we could see repeats of these protests. the headlines on bbc news: the us federal appeals court has denied a request from thejustice department for an immediate reinstatement of president trump's ban on travellers from seven mainly—muslim countries. the conservatives have signalled a shift away from encouraging home ownership for all, one of the party's guiding principles since margaret thatcher's time in office. the outgoing head of the metropolitan police, sir bernard hogan howe, has warned that policing in the uk will become increasingly difficult because of rising crime and public spending cuts. sir bernard warned there were only so many efficiency savings forces could make before front—line policing began to suffer. i'm not a defeatist by nature, i don't thinkjust because there is

less money you have to fail. all i think i'm highlighting, to be fair to my successor, is it's going to be a more challenging environment. we have done a lot over the last five years to make the met more efficient and more modern. we have taken out an awful lot of things from the past that were inefficient and kept our 32,000 cops. we've got less buildings, we've got less managers, sadly we've lost around a500 of our support staff. now, you've got to do these things and there are more hard decisions to come. that's one of the big points i'm trying to make. some british airways cabin crew have begun a three—day strike in a dispute over what they describe as "poverty pay". the unite union estimates the staff earn, on average, £16,000 a year, including allowances. but ba insists none earns less than 21,000. the airline says all passengers will be able to travel but that the time of flights might be affected. the number of recorded cases of children committing sexual offences against other children has increased by nearly 80% over the last three years, according to the charity barnardo's.

the charity has said such abuse "may become the next scandal in our society". the national police chiefs' council said the increase was down to "more awareness and greater victim confidence". andrew pemberton, from barnardo's, told us more. more and more parents and children are worried about these issues and it is important that we talk about them. child on child sexual abuse is a difficult issue but it is important that we talk about it and important that we think about how we support the children involved. not only the victims but also the children perpetrating these acts because what we know is that they are often victims of abuse and trauma themselves. france's far—right leader, marine le pen, has formally launched her bid to become president with a twin attack on globalisation and islamic fundamentalism. she told a rally in the southern city of lyon that economic globalisation killed communities and she promised to stand up

for france's fundamental values. if you are here today in such large numbers it's because you understand and recent events have shown us that against money from the right and money from the left, i am the candidate for the french people. our correspondentjonny dymond, who's in paris, explained what's next for marie le pen. if because of the structure of the presidential election, there are two rounds in the presidential elections. the first one, anyone who gets a significant amount of support can stand. marine le pen looks like she is going to end up being the front runner in that first round, looks almost certain to go through to the second round, a significant success. and this speech was... well, if anyone was expecting a move to the centre or any sense of compromise, there was none of that, this was about throwing out chunks of political red meat to her supporters,

and they loved it. it was interrupted by standing ovations, wild applause, and cheering and stamping theirfeet, and the phrase "we are going to win". this was a moment of political theatre, but it was also almost a moment of identity politics, primarily. the french identity. a sense, perhaps, that france, in her eyes, is besieged, besieged by forces of globalisation, of free trade, besieged by islam and islamic fundamentalism, besieged by foreign speculators, besieged by the european union. this was a speech saying that things are going to change in france if she takes power. it has to be said, it is unlikely, highly unlikely at this stage, that she's going to take power, because even if she does get through the first round, which i think is quite likely, she will struggle in the second round against a single opponent, to gain a majority of the french people. her voice, her message, clearly resonant with a significant number of people who feel

the parties of the right and left have ignored them, that the consensus between them has somehow left a number of french people out. but it does not convince a majority of the french, certainly not at the moment, and certainly not unless something changes very, very strongly in the next few months. she if she is the antiestablishment candidate, if you like, how much are the woes of francois fillon playing into her hand? he of course is embroiled in this scandal about allegedly fake jobs for members of his family. look, i think it reinforces the narrative of marine le pen, certainly, this narrative that politicians are only in it for themselves, that politicians have lost touch with ordinary french people. that the political system itself is equally corrupt. it is true that it plays into her hands. how much support she gains from it, iam not sure. because she's not the only independent candidate, she is not the only candidate not to be in one of the big parties. the result is a man called

emmanuel macron, who's a former economy minister, who is an independent. he put himself between left and right, certainly does not make an appeal to the kind of identity politics that marine le pen does. so we are going to have to wait and see how the francois fillon scandal plays out. he has insisted he is not standing down, support is leaching away from him. we will have to watch and wait to see which way it goes. but this was a strong start for marine le pen. i think her supporters in lyon will go out very much fired up by her words. over a—hundred afghans have died, including more than 60 within the past day, in avalanches in central and eastern afghanistan. the country has experienced exceptionally heavy snow in the past few days. buildings have been flattened in the capital, kabul, and the international airport has been shut. the catholic church in the philippines has called an anti—drugs campaign,

launched by the president, rodrigo duterte, a reign of terror on the country's poor. as david campanale reports, the message was read out during sermons across the philippines on sunday. these are the toughest words yet on the roman catholic church and likely to reach many millions of people who attend church in this devout country. the pastoral letter from the bishops conference was read to congregations across the philippines who heard that it's wrong to treat the killings as if they necessary. an additional cause of concern is the reign of terror in many places of the poor. many are killed not because of drugs, those who kill them are not brought to account. and even greater cause for concern is the indifference of many to this kind of wrong. the message said the

battle against illegal drugs needs to be fought but not by killing addicts and pushers. over 7000 people have been killed since president rodrigo duterte unleashed a crackdown on seven months ago. more than 2500 individuals in police raids and sting operations. human rights groups believe many deaths of police had attributed to vigilantes carried out by assassins, likely colluding with police. in the churches, the killings are viewed as unchristian. we need to give them a chance because drug addicts are just victims. we should just rehabilitate the victims of drug abuse and we should go after the drugs lords. they should be the ones we condemn, 0k? the they should be the ones we condemn, ok? the bishop's letter does not mention president rodrigo duterte by name but urges accountability from

the government and police. it comes atan uncertain the government and police. it comes at an uncertain time for his war on drugs. less than a week ago the president suspended the campaign because of police corruption. we will have the headlines for you injusta minute we will have the headlines for you injust a minute but we will have the headlines for you in just a minute but first here we will have the headlines for you injust a minute but first here is the weather forecast with tomasz schafernaker. cold the weather forecast with tomasz schaferna ker. cold tonight, the weather forecast with tomasz schafernaker. cold tonight, frost first thing tomorrow morning, and if you are an early bird you might even need your hat and gloves. it will be quite chilly. also watch out for mist and fog, freezing in some areas, so a really wintry start to the morning tomorrow. the weather in the morning tomorrow. the weather in the short—term is looking pretty quiet. this won't reach us until later in the morning. it is a dry start to monday morning but watch out for the mist and fog patches. this weather front will bring the rain, it will introduce slightly milder weather to the far south—west

of the country and will also turn quite windy. for most, that dry start, mist and fog patches and in the south—east the fog could be quite dense. further north also some fog patches around. you can see the frost in newcastle. actually wherever you are in the morning, it will be more or less the same. the risk of fog and some frost around. this weather front marches in, just about moving into the north—west of england too. slightly milder, double figures in plymouth. eastern areas stay dry and cold but probably hazy through the day. in the evening, monday night into tuesday, the rain marches through and just about cold enough for snow across the tops of the pennines and into highlands of scotla nd pennines and into highlands of scotland as well. on tuesday the weather front stalls across eastern

areas of the uk, and that's not great. it will be cloudy, winds coming out of the east and west clash and it cannot move so it hangs around the eastern coast. but in the west there will be more sunshine, maybe some showers across south—western and north—western areas. on wednesday the weather front fizzles away, just clouds left over. a pretty chilly feeling day. that rain here in the atlantic never really makes it in, we don't think. in fact by the end of the week, thursday, friday and the weekend looks like a cold north—easterly wind so it will be pretty nippy. hello. this is bbc news with me, annita mcveigh. the headlines at 5.30. a setback for donald trump, asjudges refuse to immediately reverse a suspension

to his controversial travel ban on people from seven, mostly muslim, countries. ministers pledge more affordable homes will be built in england, aimed at tackling the high cost of renting. labour says more council houses are needed to deal, with what it calls, a ‘housing crisis‘. a scathing report is published into the way britain's train system is organised. mps say it lets down passengers and isn't "fit for purpose". france's far—right national front leader, marine le pen, has launched her campaign to become the country's new president. time for news of the six nations and the rest of the sport. wales are top of the six nations table after the first round of matches, beating

italy 33—7 in rome. they missed out ona italy 33—7 in rome. they missed out on a bonus point but will be more than satisfied with the win because they were trailing at half—time. they will hope that injuries to george north and dan biggar are not too serious before they face england next weekend. this report. the italian national anthem asks where is victory? somethings that the by is victory? somethings that the rugby team is victory? somethings that the rug by tea m often is victory? somethings that the rugby team often has to ponder, the tilly ‘s place in the six nations has sometimes been questioned which might have it influenced their team talk, theirfirst might have it influenced their team talk, their first try was a robust response. you can be too robust of course and giving away penalties meant giving away the lead because lead halfpenny was wales's fullback. what was begun with his reassuring boot was continued with quick hands and an italian was in the sin bin as jonathan davies got the first try for wales. mirror image on the wing seven minutes later, lee williams this time getting the try. a new

tournament rule means teams get a bonus point for scoring four tries so george north set off after the third. he's had hamstring troubles in the past and this was a fitness test that he had enough for. italy when running on empty and that extra point was within wales's grasp, they came this close to it. they have six days for the bruises to heal. it's england next. patrick geary, bbc news. it was disappointing to lose dan biggar with his rib injury, we are not sure how significant that is but sam davies came on and showed some lovely deft touches, it's nice to come away from your first game having won. a shame about the bonus point at the end but i'm delighted with the application in the second half which will give us more confidence and belief to go into that england game. we won't get away from the fact that we have this type

of slow starters, that was probably proved right in the first half, we spent a lot of time in italy's 22 but didn't get a reward. we will look at that, but it is not a case ofa look at that, but it is not a case of a team trying to play down a decent performance, and a team realising its the first game in a long line of fixtures to come. two matches in the premier league today, both manchester clubs playing. in a moment, manchester united at leicester. manchester city beat swa nsea leicester. manchester city beat swansea 2—i. both teams from teenage striker gabrieljesus swansea 2—i. both teams from teenage striker gabriel jesus making swansea 2—i. both teams from teenage striker gabrieljesus making his full home debut, he got the win in injury time. the freshest face in manchester, gabriel jesus already making a name for himself among city fans. they had to wait five months for their young brazilian to appear and now it seems there's no way of getting of him! as swansea found out to their detriment. a second goal in city colours, and more importantly a first in front of home fans. yaya

toure has scored many in front of them but not this one. a long afternoon for paul clement as he watched city's 19—year—old brazilian come close to a second. but after the break a different story, gylfi sigurdsson pushing the other keeper to full stretch, encouraging and swa nsea to full stretch, encouraging and swansea did not stop there, keeping the pressure up, untilfinally a breakthrough. just one man to do it, a third in as many games for gylfi sigurdsson. but as pep guardiola started to panic gases saved the day. in manchester a new city star is born. i was not 100%, quickly is born. i was not 10096, quickly adapted to their country, it was my first time outside brazil, i thought it was going to be more difficult, not only the football but also the weather, the culture, the city

itself but thanks to my family and tea m itself but thanks to my family and team mates and to the club for the welcoming committee has been really easy for me. that's how i got adapted really quickly. we didn't play well in the first half. we were under the cosh a massive amounts of that first half. you stayed in it. that's what we said, however bad things are, stay in the game, and when it is half—time, if it is 1—0 you can regroup and go through some tactical, mentalthings. you can regroup and go through some tactical, mental things. the players responded brilliantly and they were deflated to concede later. but we have a lot of things we can take from that game that will help us in the future. manchester city are up to third in the premier league, ten points behind league leaders chelsea, after a late goal earned them a 2—1win over swansea. manchester united won't even make the top five if they win at leicester although they are going for three points at the moment, the game was effectively over after 88 seconds, first italian burst through the defence and scored the opener

for manchester united and as soon as united regained possession zlatan scored his 20th of the season. just three minutes into the second—half manchester united got a third, mata given the time and space to but the game to bed. rooney did not make the game to bed. rooney did not make the game because of illness. defeat for leicester leaves them only one point above the relegation zone. manchester united stay sixth, one point behind liverpool. in the championship huddersfield have leapfrogged west yorkshire rivals leeds united into fourth at the game was spoiled by a late incident that saw both managers sent off. the winning goal had been scored in the 89th minute and that sparked jubilant huddersfield celebrations with manager david wagner tearing down the touchline to join in. on his return to the dugout he clashed with leeds boss garry monk. both we re with leeds boss garry monk. both were sent to the stands as huddersfield held on for the win.

brighton missed out on the chance to return to the top of the championship. the june 3—3 return to the top of the championship. thejune 3—3 at brentford. bradford scored after 94 minutes to lead 3—2 but brighton equalised in the 97th minute. they are now one point behind newcastle. celtic are now 27 points clear at the top of the scottish premiership. they came from behind to beat saint johnstone 5—2 at mcdiarmid park. the hosts were leading 2—1 at half—time after goals from watson, moussa dembele came on with half an hour to play, turned the match with a second—half hat—trick, helping his side to a 19th consecutive win in the league. egypt and cameroon play in the final of the africa cup of nations this evening, egypt are seeking a record eighth title, cameron have already won it four times. this report from libreville in gabon. 16 teams came to govern

to the film review on bbc news, and taking us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. mark, what delights do you have for us this week? well, we are, as you know, in awards season, so we have loving, which is an oscar—nominated drama. we have gold, the new film starring matthew mcconaughey. and toni erdmann, oscar—nominated two—and—three—quarter—hour german comedy. i look forward to hearing what you have to say about that. loving, first of all, a true story about a couple who helped to change the law in america. it isa the law in america. it is a true story, absolutely. ruth negga is up for a best actress oscar for her portrayal of mildred, the pregnant bride of richard loving. this is in the 1960s in virginia. the couple get married in washington, dc, because there is less paperwork. they come back to start building their home only to be arrested, imprisoned, and forced to leave the state, which does not agree with their marriage.

they are not allowed to be married. so they have to move away. they write a letter to bobby kennedy and it gets passed onto the aclu. despite the fact they are very private people, and the film is very keen to point out how much they wanted to keep themselves to themselves, the next thing they know they find themselves in the middle of a battle which is going from court to court, and apparently all the way to the supreme court. here is a clip. you go to the virginia state court next, right? yes. are you nervous? i suppose. the lawyers told us not to expect much. you think you'll lose? well, yes. but i think it's all right. we may lose the small battles but win the big war. michael shannon there as the photojournalist grey villet, and ruth negga, brilliant

as mildred loving. what i really like about this film is, it is basically a love story between these two people, who are ordinary people finding themselves in extraordinary circumstances, and they didn't really wa nt circumstances, and they didn't really want to be part of something that became a huge nationwide case. whatjeff nichols that became a huge nationwide case. what jeff nichols does that became a huge nationwide case. whatjeff nichols does — and in the past he has directed take shelter and mud — is, he resists any form of grandstanding. as the story goes on, it becomes apparent this is a really important case which is going to have really significant effects. but he keeps us focused on them and their relationship. it is hard to remember the last time a film... imean, the the last time a film... i mean, the opportunities for grandstanding — in the courtroom, banging ta bles in the courtroom, banging tables — are so many. and yet he doesn't do that — he keeps his focus on them as the central couple. and joel edgerton is actually terrific as richard loving. and he keeps it small—scale, which means as the larger machinations happen when you stay focused on the central couple and their relationship. you believe in them, you care about them and invest in them. it becomes that most brilliant of things, a very personal story that tells

a very personal story that tells a much wider message, but does not feel the need to wave... it is very apparent what is going on through the detail, through a scene in which they hold hands,in through a scene in which they hold hands, in the car, through a scene in which he talks about his dream for building their home. i thought it was very well played and very well made, and admirably understated. which is a rarity nowadays. let's move on now to gold. not understated. it has been compared to wolf of wall street. matthew mcconaughey, great actor. put on a load of weight, i think, for this, didn't he? and, ina for this, didn't he? and, in a way, you have basically just and, in a way, you have basicallyjust done the review there. laughter. so that's it. i think the wolf of wall street or, you know, a sheep in wolf of wall street's clothing is the better way of explaining it. so matthew mcconaughey plays a central character who runs a central character who runs a mining company, on hard times. he decides to invest all his money ina dig he decides to invest all his money in a dig in indonesia. they strike gold. they strike gold. the next thing you know champagne corks are popping, the stocks are going up, and this can only end one way. and there are moments in it

which seem specifically to refer to wolf of wall street, but it doesn't have anything like the dazzle of that film. what you do see, yes, matthew mcconaughey, as you say, he seems to have put ona as you say, he seems to have put on a lot of weight and lost a lot of hair, and he looks genuinely bedraggled in certain scenes. but that is not enough for the film. for the film you need to be involved in the character, in the story, and notjust thinking, "i have seen this done before and better, elsewhere. " idid and better, elsewhere. " i did spend an awful lot of it thinking, you know, this is a kind of showcase for that performance. and that is not enough to build a film on. you keep expecting it to kick in and engage your sympathies, and it never does. it has all the potential but, in the end, it isjust a bit... and, i confess, a little bit boring. yeah, because he was in dallas buyers club and so brilliant. no, he is a really really good performer. but it just really good performer. but itjust doesn't work in this movie? the film itself... you know, anyone is only as good as the script.

originally the script was apparently pitched as treasure of the sierra madre. to which i can only say, yeah — in its dreams. laughter. all right, so that's gold — not 24 carat, i think, is what you're saying. absolutely not. let's move on to toni erdmann, a german comedy, which might not appeal to a few of our viewers, but convince us. 0k, viewers, but convince us. ok, so sandra huller is the star and she's absolutely brilliant. ines, a career woman with a rather soul crushing job working for a consultancy firm, working for an oil company, and she's on business in bucharest.

she is very distant from her father winfried, played by peter simonischek. he suddenly turns up on her doorstep, apparently to give her a present. she humours him, sympathises with him about the death of the dog, then says, "now it's time to leave." but he doesn't leave. he puts on a wig and false teeth and reappears as toni erdmann, turning up at her business meetings, amongst herfriends, insisting to her colleagues that he is a life coach, a businessman, an ambassador. whatever he is, he is an embarrassment to her. here's a clip. you can see from that it is a very painful form you can see from that it is a very painfulform of you can see from that it is a very painful form of comedy. if you think about a vintage episode of the office or abigail's party, that kind of humour that kind of humour thatis that kind of humour that is excruciating. on the one level, it is

a satire about europe. on another it is a warning about globalisation, and also to some extent about a battle between 60s hippy idealism and optimism, and 21st—century cynicism. but at the centre it is a tragi—comedy about an estrangement between a father and a daughter, in which a father is deperately reaching out to contact his daughter, but doing so in a way thatis daughter, but doing so in a way that is completely inappropriate and really awkward. and at times you laugh, at times you want to cry. at times you wants to bury your face at times you wants to bury yourface in your at times you wants to bury your face in your jumper because it is so embarrassing. one scene involves a rendition of the song, the greatest love of all. i cannot remember having glowed with embarrassment so much. but the best thing about it is, it was written and directed by maren ade, who does a brilliant job of getting exactly the right moment. asi the right moment. as i said, she is superbly aided by these great performances. sandra huller in particular never puts a single foot wrong. you sit there marvelling at the changes of tone, the way in which it is melancholic

and poignant, it is awkward and poignant, it is awkward and painful, but also funny and painful, but also funny and cruel and yet tender and loving. and it's nothing that you would expect from when you hear the description of it, that it the description of it, thatitis the description of it, that it is a nearly three—hour comedy about a bloke with a wig and false teeth annoying his daughter. i know it will not be for everybody, but i just loved it. toni erdmann. sold. thank you very much. let's go to best out, mark, which is t2 trainspotting. yes. danny yes. da n ny boyle yes. danny boyle said it was the scottish star wars. he was talking about how trainspotting had become sort of an institution and how they had a lot to live up to with this sequel. i think they have done it rather brilliantly. it catches up with the characters 20 years later. it has a melancholy middle—aged malaise to it. it is really well directed. i think he is a very fine director. a very good script byjohn hodge. the lovely thing about the film is, it seems to be designed for people who grew up with trainspotting. my with trainspotting. my only question would be, i don't know what it would be like if you weren't of an age

when you saw trainspotting the first time around. is it one for the kids? teenagers? hey, what do i know about teenagers? iam 78. i think if you hadn't seen the first one it wouldn't make any sense, but then why would you not wa nt to but then why would you not want to have not seen the first one? it is one of the greatest british movies of the last 50 years. all right. best dvd? de palma. a documentary about brian de palma, who made carrie, dressed to kill, body double, that kind of thing. in which he accounts for himself and his films. what is interesting is he is pretty much the sole interview. he has been accused of being a misogynist, of ripping off hitchcock, and he is a terrific speaker. he is very irascible. he is very irascible. he says, you know, "people say irip off he says, you know, "people say i rip off hitchcock — ido, but i rip off hitchcock — i do, but i am the only director who properly rips off hitchcock. iam the who properly rips off hitchcock. i am the only properly hitchcockian director around." it's a really interesting piece of work, made with great affection, and great authority. because no one knows brian de palma's work better than brian de palma. whatever you think about his films, it isa whatever you think about his films, it is a really interesting time in the company of someone who,

for better or worse, is very singular and has cut their own path regardless of what anyone else has said. i suppose he is not a household name to many people. it depends. if you are a genre fan, which i am, then he is absolutely a household name. but i think he is not a name thatis but i think he is not a name that is recognisable — people like spielberg and kubrick. but he has an extraordinary career. he has made massive hit movies, and movies that have gone straight to dvd. mark, thank you very much indeed, as ever. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/film. and you can catch up with our previous programmes on bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, though. thank you very much for watching. goodbye. cold tonight, frost first thing

the morning, it will be more or less the morning, it will be more or less the same, the risk of fog and some frost around. the rain marches on, affects the west country, wales, northern ireland and eventually south—west scotland, just about ledges into the north—west of england as well. slightly mild, i mentioned that milder air getting into plymouth, double figures there. eastern air dry and cold, hazy throughout the day. monday night into tuesday that rain marches through, just about cold enough for snow across the tops of the pennines, into the highlands. on tuesday, the weather from stores across eastern areas, that won't be great, it will be cloudy and wet, wind coming of the north sea, it stores because you've got wins coming out of the east and the west, a fund can't move so it's hanging around the eastern coast. in the west there will be more sunshine, maybe showers across some south western and north—western areas. on

wednesday that front fizzles away, just clouds left, a chilly feeling they especially across eastern areas, but rain in the atlantic never makes it in, we don't think. by never makes it in, we don't think. by the end of the week, thursday, friday and the weekend, it looks like a cold easterly winds that it will feel pretty nippy. this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh. the headlines at 6pm — another blow for donald trump — a court denies an emergency appeal that he'd hoped would restore his controversial travel ban. ministers pledge more affordable homes will be built in england — aimed at tackling the high cost of renting. mps warn the uk's rail franchising model is "no longer fit for purpose" and is failing passengers. hello, good evening.
