m‘wltflult control. it is a great opportunity for people to get involved in a conservation project and really make a difference. this map shows how many red squirrels will around —— we re many red squirrels will around —— were around in the past compared with now. they are going to focus on the nine areas where there are red squirrels, including northern ireland ‘s, wales and merseyside. a volunteer project in scotland will also get underway. most of us will never get this close to a baby squirrel. this one is being nursed back to health. with this campaign there is a chance to make sure the natives pieces survives and flourishes once again in the uk. —— native species. this is bbc news. the headlines: a big victory for the conservatives at the copeland by—election — unseating labour after they held the seat for more than 80 years. but labour sees off a threat from ukip, and holds onto stoke. jeremy corbyn says the politics of hope overcame the politics of fear. kim jong—nam, the half—brother

of north korea's leader, was killed by the highly toxic vx nerve agent, according to malaysian authorities. now look ahead to the sport tonight. we will have all the reaction from the premier league managers on the sacking of claudio ranieri. jose mourinho wore his initials on his training kit at a press conference and said leicester should be naming their stadium after him, not sacking him. we will also be live from the six nations. we are in sports day. now it is time for the film review. hello and welcome to

the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomon. so jason, what do we have this week? this week we sift the debris of the boston marathon in the company of kevin bake owned mark hark mark in patriots day. we take a long, sad look at the life of footballer and alcoholic, george best. and putting you off fluffy robes for life, we seek a cure for wellness in a swiss alpine spa. so, let's start with patriots day. it is the story of the 2013 boston marathon bombing and the manhunt afterwards 7 marathon bombing and the manhunt afterwards? yes, the aftermath. it gripped the world. there was this extraordinary bombing of the boston

marathon which takes place on patriots day. it is a well known national event. it was bombed by two random brothers. the names were on everyone's lips in 2013. everyone remember, the brothers that escaped. they had to shut the city down looking for the brothers, one was holed up in a boat in someone else's backyard. the strangely human story of this wanton destruction that they wrought. the film is put together in a classic disaster film fashion, the people assembling for the big day of the boston marathon, and including marc hark as a cop. then there is the kevin bacon, the fbi man, and john goodman with his strange eyebrows. this is them having a look after the explosion. you are not any closer to identifying the guys that we are

really looking for. we have to release the pictures. if we release the pictures know it is out of our control. gentlemen, if i may, right now, boston is working against us. right now, in this city, when it comes to terrorism, everyone wants to talk. there are a lot of people talking but talking about the wrong people. release the pictures of our guys, sit back and listen. trust me. start letting bust on work for us, i'm telling you. i understand, boston. but i can't snap my fingers on this, the decision goes up to the attorney general. this is my sfi, rick, release the god dam pictures. it was a terrible tragedy. recent. it was a terrible tragedy. recent. it is difficult to make a hollywood film about such a tragedy so recently? and the director has been faithful as much as he can and to

those affected by the tragedy and injured, the people with the amputees. the people at the end of the film discussing how they put their lives back together it is a healing process for the town of boston. there is mark wahlberg, a poster boy for boston. it's a strange film. it is all about boston. what it does not do is examine the motives of the brothers who out of nowhere caused this carnage. while it does feature them, they go in their homes and feature their wives but it does not probe their wives but it does not probe the motives. that is the fear. how can the renegade terrorists provoke such a carnage and bring the city to its mes? that is more interesting for me. so it was a bit hurrah, this film for me. the clip that we saw it looked like a thriller. does it have that element? that tension of a thriller? i call it a proceedural it is very

much of the safety of the american citizens, protected by the great policemen and the ambulance service, they will track down the killers, they will track down the killers, the media helping. although they look hapless as the brothers led them a merry dance for 89 hours and ended up hiding in someone's boat. it is slightly ridiculous, without the humour and the absurdity as to what terrorism can do. it is dangerous, it is called patriots day, so it's very american and thumping day, so it's very american and up—thumping but it loses something because of that because it is about people who wanted to be anti—american. i wanted them to explore that more darkly than it does. let's move on to george best. a great footballer. beautiful to watch him play, then in his later life, so sad, really, he became an alcoholic.

is this a good film? this is a doomary. we have seen many films of him. the popping of the champagne, the dazzling eyes. he was the first boutique footballer. but footballers have changed. football has changed. it does not look like this anymore. but he was whippy, incandescent, he had it all by 22 but washed up and retired by 27. it is put together like a shakespearean tragedy. sitting on the size lines, despairing and sad. the only person who is not sad is george best. he seems happy with his lot. there is a shot where someone runs m, there is a shot where someone runs in, saying besty, besty, where did it go wrong but he is lying on bed with a beautiful woman, surrounded

by lots of money. he didn't want people's help. he didn't want people's help. he didn't want people's love. that is why it is sad to watch. as an audience member you wa nt to to watch. as an audience member you want to reach out to this man and love him. he doesn't want it, he rejects it, preferring to disappear into the booze. i think that is what is sad. it is well put together. it is sad. it is well put together. it isa is sad. it is well put together. it is a little dour, in that it lacks the light of george best's feet. all right. now, a cure for wellness. this is about a young executive, who is sent to retrieve his company's ceo from the swiss alps fromst a spa? yes, this arrogant young man goes to a spa and there are people wearing white suits. i am very wary of people in these suits, with clip

boards and clipped accents. let's look at this along the corridors of uncertainty with jason isaacs. hi! what are you doing here? sorry, i don't understand. what are you doing here? take it easy. it's ok. mr lockhart, every time i turn around you are somewhere you are not supposed to be. i guess supposed to be. iguess i'm supposed to be. i guess i'm lost. time trying to find my way back to my room. this is a restricted floor. there are signs everywhere, surely you did not come down here by accident. what exactly are you looking for? i had a problem with my tooth. your tooth? actually it is feeling much better. if you can point me in the direction of my room. nonsense, we can't let you get an infection. you must let us talk care of you. after all, that's why you're

here... menacing! yes, if you don't like dentists, don't watch the next bit. who does like the dentist? well, ever since marathon man. there are well, ever since marathon man. there a re lots of well, ever since marathon man. there are lots of old contraptions in this spa, like the 1950s with the medicine ball, and the tanks with the eels it is like a bond villain hide away. very pastiche. it is a recipe for disaster as to what was going on. a complete mess of a film. how long? 2.5 hours it is quite a lot. what is best out at the moment? well, a cure for wellness but also moonlight it is a beautiful, tender, poetic coming of age story told about the life of a black boy from

miami, from a little boy to a man. it is about his life and his tender growing sexuality. realising who he is. it is about identity and identity politics. it is a new sort of cinema. it has eight 0scar nominations. that takes us nicely to the oscars. almost upon us? i loved moonlight. the budget was 8.5. it has the chance of becoming the smallest film ever to win best picture. it is a bit like leicester. it stands the chance of dislodging the favourite, la la land. iam a chance of dislodging the favourite, la la land. i am a favourite. chance of dislodging the favourite, la la land. iam a favourite. i chance of dislodging the favourite, la la land. i am a favourite. i know that there is a backlash, people saying it is overhyped with the 1a nominations going to the oscars ares, i don't think it will win all 14. but ares, i don't think it will win all 1a. but there could be a tidy haul for it. it is good for hollywood.

rebooted for a new generation. people are going to it thinking that they will see singing in the rain. but it is a modern indy film with singing and dancing. what about best actress, best actor? well, i that i that the best actor will not go to ryan gosling but to casey affleck. there is also a threat from denzel washington in fences. and best actress, i think will go to emma stone. that is sewn into her terrorist. i think that the best picture will go to la la land. i think maybe moonlight could do it but those directors could become the

best ever director winners. and maybe a screenplay for moonlight and one for manchester by the sea. let's see how many of them you get right. i'm sure all of them. that's it for this week. don't forget you can catch up on our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. thanks for watching. goodbye. well, we had sunshine today, not everybody but most of us got a bit of sunny rays coming through the clouds. it is a different story this weekend. it is going downhill! more cloud, the rain coming in. the wind is to pick up. nothing like yesterday but breezy. the rain is moving over the north and the west of the country. by the end of the night to the early hours of saturday, we are all overcast, we will have had rain at the very least

and heavier rain at times in the north. but it is mild, 10 celsius in the south. in the north it is seven celsius. the wind is fresh. fresh over the coasts and the hills. the rain moving across the country. brightness for glasgow, edinburgh, belfast. but in the south cloudy with rain on and off. to be honest, sunday is looking pretty damp as well for most of us. london maybe getting a little bit of sunshine at some point. have a great weekend. the conservatives hail a historic victory,

as they sweep labour aside in the copeland by—election. they've got a lot to cheer about, it's the first by election win for a party in power in a generation. this is an astounding victory for the conservative party but also for the people of copeland. you know labour have held this seat since the 1930s. meanwhile labour does hang on to its seat in stoke central, seeing off a challenge by ukip. it's a message about the economy, it's a message aboutjobs, it is a message about this country, but above all, above all it was a message that hope triumphs over fear. we'll be asking how the political landscape is changed by today's by—election results. also tonight...
