just to remind people the nominations are arrival, manchester by the sea, i, daniel blake and moonlight and la la land. do i gather you are calling that the la la land? yes, 11 nominations and i think that heft will carry it through. i'd love it to be moonlight but i think it is la la land and i will be delighted for that as well. yes, i guess i feel the same as you. i would love it to be moonlight. outstanding british film, forgive me, apologies to some because we have barely mentions of those mentioned. fantastic beast and where to find them is among them. i, daniel blake, you would think? yes, i think daniel blake, you would think? yes, ithink i, daniel blake, you would think? yes, i think i, daniel blake. a foreign film in the british category, under the shadow, set in iran in the 80s but i think it is a i, daniel blake. a tremendous year and winning in cannes and i think he will carry that momentum through to winning tonight. and the shouting her shouted again. i think that is because casey affleck has arrived.

yes, he is over there, hiding with a beard, not how he appears in the film. casey affleck, he is in manchester by the sea. probably the hot favourite to win best actor ‘s night. he's got the pressure from andrew garfield behind him but i think it is casey affleck's, it seems he is winning everywhere else. i have to say, it's not the performance i love the most, but i see why it is getting a lot of heft behind it and see why it is getting a lot of heft behind itand i see why it is getting a lot of heft behind it and i think it's probably going to carry at all the way through to the oscars. hard to see anyone coming in and tripping up casey affleck other than his own beard. jason solomons and lorraine candy, fantastic to have you alongside me and bearing the cold. we could even hear each other for some of it, an absolute treat! thank you. the british film academy awards will get underway in the next 15 minutes or so and we will have a special results programme for you here on bbc news. jason and i will

be back with you for that at 9:30pm this evening. we will see whether jason's predictions are indeed correct. let's find out what happens. for now, from here, alongside the red carpet at the royal albert hall in london, it is goodbye for now. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'mjohn watson. coming up tonight: are the champions heading for the championship? another defeat and the threat of relegation looms large for leicester. burnley and brady halt the run of league leaders chelsea at turf moor. and scotland fall to france as les bleus bounce back in paris. yes, good evening.

chelsea have extended their lead at the top to 10 points tonight, but it's with last years champions leicester city we start. a team seemingly in freefall after slipping to their fifth straight league defeat. a 2—0 loss at swansea leaves them one point above the relegation zone and fighting for survival, a season on from lifting the premier league title. hannah lupton reports. not much to smile about when faced with a relegation battle. claudio ranieri's leicester a one above the bottom three and so are swansea but they are revitalised since paul clement at charge. so much riding on this game, it was all rather cagey.

that was until alfie mawson managed to break free. that was until alfie mawson managed to breakfree. the that was until alfie mawson managed to break free. the central defender showing his survival instincts. he is now scored more premier league goals this season than wayne rooney. when fighting at the bottom, timing your next move can be crucial. in first—half injury time swansea struck again, olsson hammered in his first for the club, much to the delight of january's manager of the month. the champions have failed to score in the premier league in 2017. it took over an hour to register their first real chance. slimani's effort smothered by fabianski. le i ceste r‘s effort smothered by fabianski. leicester's turnaround in fortunes is baffling, not least for their own. a huge victory for swansea and paul clement, but leicester haven't won in the league since new year's eve. this is a hangover they need to shift quickly. it's unbelievable. we started well.

we wa nted it's unbelievable. we started well. we wanted to make a good result today against our... other team battling for relegation. we started well, we made something good, but the first shot at goal and they scored. the second action, they scored. the second action, they score again. from that it was very, very difficult to go back. we had a chance at the beginning of the second half. we lost the chance and then we tried to do our best, but it was very difficult. real problems in the league for leicester. six nations news in a moment. we'll bring you six nations news in a moment but there was something of a surprise result in the early premier league kick—off. chelsea could have moved 12 points clear at the top but a fantastic free kick from robbie brady earned a point for burnley as they drew 1—1 with the league leaders. tim hague reports. time to the opposition front o'neill can't too. this, after all, one of chelsea's toughest test left. bernard brogan that home and even more at home in weather like this. the problem for them is that chelsea

are quite the travellers. six minutes in and a remarkable run live be continuing. pedro ready and able. but burnley have seven wins in a row at turf morandi also have new record signing robbie brady. money well send. they could have gone ahead but for thibaut courtois. the goalkeeper was glowing in the lancashire chill, and well this felt like a match fit from the captain, john terry continues to watch from the sidelines the rest of us. it was frustrating viewing in the second half, as bill are quite going closes for chelsea. burnley gave them very little to work with, or simply worked them over instead. it finished 1—1, and well the chelsea charge rolls on, no wonder he was eyeing up the opposition. this was a tough test all—rounder. eyeing up the opposition. this was a tough test all-rounder. it is one point. we must be a bit

disappointed. we tried to win the game. we started very well, scored the goal, created the chances. we created the chances to score the second goal. then this free kick. i think that we tried, we try to win the game. we want to be brave and play two upfront when we can. i like that formation, but it has to work, and after 20 minutes, we had the better of it, we can down the game. it was a good reaction to the goal, there was no panic. we stayed solid and disrupted them. we cause problems. rangers are into the last eight of the scottish cup after coming from behind to beat greenock morton. there were a few shaky moments at the back for last season's beaten finalists, but after kenny miller got an equaliser, martyn waghorn won it for rangers in what was their first match following the departure of manager mark warburton on friday. scottish cup holders hibernian will face a fifth round replay after a goalless d raw

with edinburgh rivals hearts. the best opportunity fell to bjornjohnsen. unfortunately for him and the hearts fans, marciano was equal to the effort in the hibernian goal. 0—0 the final score. this weekend's six nations action culminated in defeat for scotland who came up against a huge forward pack in paris where they faced france. they hadn't won there since 1999 and their loss by 22—16 means that losing streak has been extended to ten straight matches. as patrick gearey reports. welcome to france. land of the giants. home of a rugby team built around 150 stone pack. faced with such an obstacle, scotland decided the best option was to distract them and sneak around. stuart hogg is an expert trader. in this battle, the french goliath had the slingshot in the former fly—half camille lopez. with france ahead, the battering ram set to work. with every charge, they

knew the scottish wall would weaken. eventually crack would appear. gael fickou spotted it, breathing space. the gap began to see a lot, two penalties for finn russell, whose aim was spot on. scotland were back within two at the break and gave chase early in the second half. tommy seymour took a punt and his luck was in. so too was tim swinson. no transfer two is the extra points. it was missed. finn russell's kick would have been emphatic in football but it was embarrassing in rugby. france took their chance, 16—16, less tha n france took their chance, 16—16, less than 15 minutes left. the french went to the brink, no drive. no escape for scotland. they kept to not camille lopez, who knocked them over. in the land of the giants, scotland's task was simply too big. it was a physical encounter. quite a few times we came off second best. i

thought the boys stuck in well defensively. we defended our line well and scored a couple of tries. at critical times, perhaps we were not accurate enough. we will have a good look at that before moving to the next game. ireland's women lead the way in the six nations standings after they beat italy in l'aquila. the first half was a low scoring affair with both going into the break having shared a penalty each. but in the second half, ireland finally found some form and they dominated proceedings, running in a total of four tries. this effort, right at the end of the game, the best of the bunch by hannah tyrell, to give them a 27—3 victory although they'd left it late to get the bonus point with that try. away from the six nations there was an extraordinary game at the top of the premiership where leaders wasps drew 35—35 with exeter. the sides had been level at half time before exeter had jonny hill sent off. despite that, they took the lead with this try from olly woodburn. but wasps drew level once again, thanks to this score from joe simpson.

that was the tenth try of the match. the result leaves wasps five points clear at the top. in the proi2, connacht secured all the points as they beat cardiff blues. they finally edged ahead with this tiernan o'halloran drop goal. a late penalty then made sure of a 19—13 win. connacht now trail seventh placed cardiff by two points with a game in hand. england's danny willett blew a three shot overnight lead and eventually had to settle for share of fifth place in the maybank championship in malaysia. it was a poor final round from last yea r‘s masters champion, who picked up five bogies and finished with a one over par final round of 73. the tournament was won by paraguay‘s fabrizio zanotti who carded a stunning final round of 63 to win by a shot from america's david lipsky. i think it was probably the best

round of my career. i am pretty happy. it was a really good day, i really good victory. i am very happy. really good victory. i am very happy- i really good victory. i am very happy. i been working a lot. i was not that my best. i missed three cuts in a row. but that is in the past. today, i won again, and cuts in a row. but that is in the past. today, iwon again, and it feels great. and the umpire who was hit in the face by a ball during britain's davis cup tie against canada last weekend has had surgery after a fracture was detected. arnaud gabas was hit in the eye after canadian teenager dennis shapovolov reacted angrily to having his serve broken. a fracture of the bone under his left eye was discovered but he is now back at his home in france and is said to be "in good spirits". that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport on the bbc news channel throughout the evening. with the time coming up to word 650

5pm, let's bring you some order of the news from today. —— coming up towards 6:55pm. thousands of operations are being cancelled with highly—skilled surgeons left "kicking their heels" because of a shortage of hospital beds. that's the warning from the royal college of surgeons and the organisation that represents nhs trusts. in a joint letter to the sunday times, they argue that a lack of funding for health and social care in england is leading to what they call a "shocking waste" and damaging efforts to improve efficiency. health service england says only i% of operations are cancelled. hospital has demonstrated how a shortage of beds contributes to the pressure on the health service. this can lead to long waits for those needing to be admitted

from accident and emergency departments, but also for those needing planned surgery. i sometimes feel that i spend as much energy on trying to organise and manage beds and the movement, the flow, of patients within the hospital to allow us to do what we want to get on with, which is to operate. the programme showed how if beds are not available for patients to recover in safely, operations simply cannot go ahead. now the royal college of surgeons and the nhs body that represents nhs trusts says this is damaging efforts to improve productivity with surgeons left kicking their heels while they wait for beds to be made free. we are waiting for someone to let us do work. it is not good for the staff and it is not good for the patients and it is not good for the efficiency of the nhs. the latest figures from nhs england reveal more than 95% of beds were occupied last week, well above the 85% that is regarded as the safe limit.

the problem is closely linked to delays in providing adequate care outside of hospital, especially for frail and elderly patients once they are ready to be discharged. today, doctors and hospital managers say fixing the nhs means fixing social care, and learning the lessons of an extraordinarily tough winter which is not over yet. dominic hughes, bbc news. for the first time in decades, york minster‘s own police force is being given the same powers of arrest as regular constables within the cathedral and its boundaries. york minster is one of only five cathedrals in the world which maintain their own constabulary or police force in a tradition which can be traced back to the early 13th century. carla fowler has the story. the minster police have been on duty a very long time. for more than 700 years, they've been guardians of the peace at york minster, protecting the building and everyone

in it on a daily basis. specialist training from north yorkshire police means they will soon hold the same powers of arrest as regular constables. from time to time, perhaps people have too much to drink or maybe just a bit of disorder has to be dealt with and we have to be realistic that there could be a crime. so the police officers are now trained to recognise that and how to deal with it appropriately at the right level. cathedral constables were on the beat well before the police force was established in 1829. since the 13th century they've held a vital role in security at york and at a handful of other historic cathedrals, like chester and canterbury. north yorkshire police provided professional training for the eight strong team here. after the training, i know the laws, so i know what to do. and that training buids my confidence. i think it is the only thing i am proud of that i can say. also my family, they are proud of me.

from disruptive visitors to serious criminals, the team are now equipped for every situation. but their central role remains to inform, advise and help the public. it has given us the tools to do the job more professionally. should we encounter a situation, we will know what to do, and we will have the confidence to carry out those actions. this week, north yorkshire police and the dean of york signed a memorandum to formally recognise the role of the minster police. their new powers will come into force in may. lots of chilly weather around. what are the prospects? let's get the latest from john hammond. it has been a cold roddy across many parts of the country. it will be chilly as we head into the night as well. some snowfall for the pennines but that will fade away.

dampness across northern areas overnight, but we will see clearer skies pushing into southern counties. not as cold is the last few nights, but not exactly warm, particularly if you're out in the breeze, through your four degrees. monday will be different for some of us, transformation across southern counties. increasing amounts of sunshine which will make all the difference. it will be windy with gales across western khorasan hills. further north, it will be a struggle to break up the cloud, with a chilly day across the north of scotland and eastern england. temperatures held back here, but in the south, temperatures into double figures. that is the message over the next few days. it will turn milder slowly and erratically. you will notice the difference. this is bbc news, i'm nicholas owen. the headlines at 7pm: president trump says he'll strengthen links with allies in the pacific region following north korea's latest missile launch. the house of commons speaker, john bercow,
