this is bbc news. the headlines at five o'clock. north korea says it has successfully tested a hydrogen bomb capable of being fitted to an inter—continental missile. president trump tweets that north korea's words and actions continue to be very hostile and dangerous to the united states while theresa may has called it a "reckless and unacceptable further threat". the brexit secretary said the eu is making itself look silly by insisting negotiations with britain aren't making progress. the era of big payments to the european union is coming to an end. we will still be paying something, i suspect. hospital bosses are warning the nhs in england could suffer its worst winter in recent history if it does not receive an emergency bailout. also in the next hour...

walter becker, who co—founded the us band steely dan, has died aged 67. in the group's heyday in the 1970s it scored hits with "reelin‘ in the years," "do it again," and "deacon blues". and in sport, britain's lewis hamilton celebrates after winning this afternoon's italian grand prix in monza. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. president trump has said north korea is hostile and dangerous to the united states after their latest nuclear test and is to hold an urgent meeting with his national security team. when asked if he would attack the rogue state he replied, "we'll see". pyongyang claimed it had tested a hydrogen bomb — many times more powerful than those
5:02 pm
used in previous tests — and hailed it as a "perfect success" hours after seismologists had detected an earth tremour. the test took place at a site in the north east of the country. analysts say the claims should be treated with caution, but that north korea's nuclear capability is clearly advancing. from seoul, in south korea, yogita limaye sent this report. state television proudly announcing that the country has conducted another nuclear test. it was a perfect success, the newsreader said. pyongyang claims to have detonated a hydrogen bomb at its testing site in the north—east of the country. and hundreds of miles away in china, people say they witnessed tremors caused by the explosion. experts believe it could be the most powerful weapon north korea has tested so far. earlier in the day, these photos were released of north korean leader kim jong—un, inspecting what is claimed to be the bomb. the country says the nuclear device it's tested can be fitted onto an intercontinental missile.
5:03 pm
a serious threat because it means pyongyang can arm these long range rockets it tested injuly, missiles that would put the us mainland within firing range. in south korea, an emergency meeting was held. translation: i can't help but be disappointed and outraged. north korea has made an absurd tactical mistake by committing a series of provocations such as launching icbm missiles and conducting a nuclear test, which has heightened tensions on the peninsula and is threatening world peace. it will isolate them further. injapan, the prime minister called the latest test unacceptable. it is unacceptable and we have to strongly protest it. it comes less than a week after north korea launched this rocket that flew over his country.
5:04 pm
but it's the us that north korea considers its biggest enemy. and the latest test is a step forward in its goal towards making weapons that could strike america. regarding the united states, i think it could be a game changer because a hydrogen bomb is sometimes 1000 more powerful than a nuclear bomb, that means kimjong—un will threaten the united states, that if you do not leave south korea, north korea would attack seattle, la or san francisco with a hydrogen bomb. kim jong—un has finally started respecting us, president donald trump has said just in the last fortnight, when it seemed as though the rhetoric from pyongyang had died down. today the north korean leader has shown he has no intention to stop.
5:05 pm
yogita limaye, bbc news, seoul. so far sanctions have had little effect. anybody that wants to to trade or business with them would be prevented from doing business with us. prevented from doing business with us. we will work with our allies but people need to cut off north korea economically. this is unacceptable behaviour. that was the treasury
5:06 pm
secretary in the united states. joining me now from our brighton studio is andy 0ppenheimer, a specialist in nuclear weaponry. thank you for coming in to talk to us thank you for coming in to talk to us after these latest developments. i think the thing most people will be interested in right now is how this test, assuming the north koreans accurately representing what they have done, how this test differs from the previous test. so far the tremor which was measured by the south koreans and the japanese is 9.8 times stronger than the previous one, which was only last year, and of course we have to take a lwa ys year, and of course we have to take always the claims by the north koreans as carefully as possible because they will claim they have done all manner of things and it is up done all manner of things and it is up to us to analyse what they have actually done. but so far it looks like it's very much more powerful
5:07 pm
than the last test and this time it could well be a boost emission weapon or possibly hydrogen weapon. can you explain what that would mean if that was the case? even boosted fission nuclear device which depends on splitting atoms of uranium and plutonium, if it is boosted it could still be incredibly dangerous indeed to even harmed in the arsenal of a rogue state because it would be capable of destroying an entire city. of course if it is a boosted weapon, which is quite possible because they have the materials to do that, it's already been stated by experts like the world's leading plutonium expert who has visited the
5:08 pm
facility, that they do in fact have the material used in both boosted weapons and in true fusion weapons, thatis weapons and in true fusion weapons, that is a hydrogen weapon, a fusion nuclear weapon. if they have got these materials and they know how to make a these materials and they know how to makea bomb these materials and they know how to make a bomb out of them, this could be the result of that particular development. i suppose what is particularly disturbing is even if the koreans don't have the technology to fire a missile accurately to target, a like that delivered even to the wrong place could cause catastrophic casualties and a great deal of damage. i wanted to put to use something that lindsey graham, the us senator, one of the leading foreign policy voices has told the bbc this weekend. he was speaking to my colleague on hardtalk a few hours before the test and he said the possibility of a strike
5:09 pm
against north korea, if something doesn't change it is inevitable because they seem to be hell—bent on developing technology in defiance of what the rest of the world finds acceptable. do you think that is now acceptable. do you think that is now a more realistic prospect that the international community, particularly the americans, might look to take action first because of fearing what this might be even if they are not certain it is what they fear. well, indeed. even if it is something in between a fission weapon and a fusion weapon, that is bad enough cause in our post—war era, we have never seen anything like this. if this was to be used, it would dwarf even hiroshima and nagasaki which were terrible enough and so as far as taking action against this regime is concerned, yes it is a rogue regime, the
5:10 pm
chinese are involved and it is hoped they could rein in the regime, but evenif they could rein in the regime, but even if they remove its leader there are others there who are just as determined to keep that country in the ascendancy in this regard they are still fighting a war with the southin are still fighting a war with the south in the particular... in their minds, and as far as a first strike from the americans goes, i would not like to comment on that because it is something that really is almost unthinkable but it could be possible. thank you for being with us from our brighton studio this afternoon. the brexit secretary david davis says the european commission is making itself look silly by saying that talks with britain aren't making progress. the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, says he doesn't want to punish or blackmail the uk,
5:11 pm
but the british people need to understand the extremely serious consequences of leaving. all this as theresa may later this week faces a parliamentary battle with the first commons vote on brexit legislation. emma vardy reports. after three rounds of talks, the two sides still appear some way apart. there's disagreement over the size of the so—called divorce bill and eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said this week that no decisive progress had been made on key issues. today, a defiant david davis said the uk would not be pressured into paying more than its fair share. we are basically going through this very systematically, very british way, very pragmatic way of doing it, and of course he's finding it difficult and he wants to put pressure on us which is why the stance this week in the press conference. bluntly, i think it looked a bit silly because there plainly were that things we had achieved... meanwhile michel barnier has said he does not want to punish or blackmail the uk,
5:12 pm
but that he will use the opportunity to teach british people and others what leaving the eu means. his remarks were made in an off—camera briefing in which he said there were extremely serious consequences to leaving the single market, and that it could never be better than being a member of the club. on thursday, mps will debate the withdrawal bill, which will convert thousands of eu regulations into british laws but labour has said it will vote against the bill unless substantial changes are made, warning it could erode rights and freedoms that workers currently enjoy. i flagged these points up at the beginning of the summer and said if you don't address them we will vote against it. i haven't reached that stage yet but i've been very clear — whilst we accept the result of the referendum, we are not giving a blank cheque to the government to do it in whatever way it wants because it's not in the public interest. theresa may has appealed for unity. any potential rebellion from just a handful of tory mps could derail it. there is a crucial week for brexit
5:13 pm
ahead, marked by division in westminster and in brussels. emma vardy, bbc news. hospital managers in england have called for an emergency financial bail—out, saying they are bracing themselves for the worst winter in recent years. nhs providers — which represents the vast majority of health trusts — says at least £200 million of extra funding is needed to pay for more staff and beds. but the department of health says the nhs is better prepared for winter this year than ever before, as angus crawford reports. winter puts hospitals under pressure. each year there is an increase in demand, more patients needing a wider range of treatments in an already stretched service. after serious problems last winter there's been intensive planning to deal with this one. but nhs providers representing 90% of nhs trusts says more money is needed for this year may be worse than last. current performance in a&e departments at the moment is no
5:14 pm
better than it was last year despite huge amounts of effort being put in to improve the performance, it's staying stubbornly stuck, quite a long way below the official target and we know therefore that there is a real risk that patient safety could be put at even greater risk this coming winter than it was last winter. the organisation says the service needs 200—£350 million extra now. nhs england rejects criticism and in a statement says: ‘planning is more advanced than it was last year.‘ it estimates that more than 3000 extra beds will be available. the government has put a billion more into social care funding to free up beds and 100 million to relieve the pressure on a&e. but will all this be enough? over the coming months, patients will find out. angus crawford, bbc news.
5:15 pm
the headlines on bbc news... north korea says it has successfully tested a hydrogen bomb that could be loaded onto a long—range missile. the prime minister has called for tougher action against the regime. the regime said its test of the bomb — which is many times more powerful than an atomic bomb — was a perfect success. the prime minister has called for tougher action she said the test was an
5:16 pm
unacceptable further threat. the prime minister appeals for unity amongst her pro—eu backbench mps ahead of a debate of the government's brexit repeal bill next week. the brexit secretary david davis said the era of big payments to eu is coming to an end, but the uk will honour its international obligations. walter becker, who was co—founded the us band steely dan, has died at the age of 67. becker was guitarist for the jazz—rock group, which sold more than 40m albums. in its heyday in the 1970s, it had a number of hits including "reelin‘ in the years," "do it again," and "rikki don't lose that number". donald fagen — his fellow co—founder released this statement about walter: in online now, paul gambaccini. thanks for being with us. the legacy of walter becker's music is a big one, isn't it? yes, and it is worth noting him by name because everybody knows the name steely dan, which
5:17 pm
work actually two people. two ordinary guys who loved to make music and they did it. they did new albums in six consecutive years. you mentioned some of the songs. walter was so mentioned some of the songs. walter was so talented that he did something you don't even know, even though you know the piece, and that is east think lewis to the low which nightingale used to use as a signature song on radio one. he is singing what sounds like a horn solo but it is his vocal treated through a synthesiser box. they were both men of music and as donald fagen said, habits got the best of him at the end of the 1990s but what a great catalogue of material. some in the rock and roll hall of fame and immortals tunes. what sort of
5:18 pm
performer was he? quiet. i don't say that in any kind of derogatory way. he was not interested in personality projection and he has no image. people familiar with the band will know he's the one with the specs and the beard but he didn't want to give controversial interviews, he just wa nted controversial interviews, he just wanted to make those records. 0ne record per year for wanted to make those records. 0ne record per yearfor six wanted to make those records. 0ne record per year for six years, wanted to make those records. 0ne record per yearfor six years, then u nfortu nately record per yearfor six years, then unfortunately the drugs came out on top but they got together again in 2000 and won the album of the year grammy which showed his talent has not gone away. let's pause for a moment if we may and listen to a bit of that talent. this is one of his solos played, i think, 2006 at alive concern in north carolina.
5:19 pm
—— at alive concert. walter becker there, proving that whatever horrors he went through in the 1980s he hadn't lost his touch asa the 1980s he hadn't lost his touch as a guitarist. what was the range in terms of the style of music? he just played a piece which shows a lot of jazz influence. just played a piece which shows a lot ofjazz influence. we mentioned the cover of duke ellington, these we re the cover of duke ellington, these were college boys with great interest in the jazz field, and the blues field but also very literate.
5:20 pm
they were bright, they met at university after all, and those lyrics they wrote are full of clever turns of phrase and wordplay. countdown to ecstasy, wonderful titles. the playing is so sophisticated, he's not out to be a match oh rocker. he is there to play the notes in a way which really engages us and enjoys the music. paul gambaccini with that tribute to walter becker, the co—founder of steely dan, who has died today. let me bring you some breaking news on north korea. this is the latest from donald trump. as we heard, talking to his national security team at the white house. we have also heard from his treasury secretary who said he is planning an even tougher set of
5:21 pm
sanctions to propose to the united nations security council. donald trump says, the us is considering stopping all trade with any country that does business with north korea. thatin that does business with north korea. that in some ways is a kind of fairly limited threat because it's a very small number of countries that do do trade with north korea but the big threat would be with china. the state of the economy in north korea, because it is so primitive, there are few countries that do trade but donald trump appears to be saying he's at least considering, that could be a get out clause, but he is considering stopping business with any country that does trade with north korea. that's the latest from united states on what they are considering as they plan their reaction to north korea's latest nuclear test. the united nations refugee
5:22 pm
agency says 73,000 rohingya muslims have now fled to bangladesh from myanmar since the army there began a campaign against militants less than two weeks ago. more are fleeing all the time. sanjoy majumder is at the border. it is now a massive influx, the sheer number of rohingya refugees coming into bangladesh from myanmar. the border is just a short distance that way. they are coming from every direction, men, women, children. some very young and some incredibly old and finding it difficult to walk. earlier today we saw plumes of smoke from inside rakhine state, presumably villages that were burning there. refugees we have spoken to have come with dramatic testimony of how they were allegedly driven out of their homes. some have seen people killed at close range. they are all heading now towards one of several temporary refugee camps which are set up on this side but already these camps are teeming with people and agencies are really concerned about the sheer numbers
5:23 pm
of people they have to take care of with supplies running incredibly low. more than 60,000 people in the german city of frankfurt have been evacuated from their homes to enable a second world war bomb to be defused. the area affected includes two hospitals, ten nursing homes and germany's central bank, where tens of billions of pounds in gold reserves are stored. the evacuation is one of the biggest since the second world war. 0ur correspondent damian mcguinness is in berlin and has this update. police are unsure if so far everybody has evacuated the area. it seems most residents have left. and that was carried out pretty smoothly over the past day. some people left at the beginning of the weekend. but police have said now they have found a few more people within this evacuation area who were not aware
5:24 pm
of what was going on, didn't understand, partly because of language difficulties. it seems some non—german speakers didn't really understand what was happening. so police had to escort some people out of the one mile radius around where the bomb has been found, and some people apparently did not want to even leave the area so police had to escort those people out using force, effectively. the next stage, though, is the bomb disposal experts will start diffusing the bomb, and that should take about four hours. and if that goes smoothly, then by the end of today local residents should be able to return to this area. but, of course, it's a very dangerous operation because the bomb itself is huge, it's 1.5 tonnes of explosive material, so if that were to go off accidentally that could really have a massive impact across a very wide area of the city centre. but also the work itself in diffusing the bomb is very dangerous. angela merkel is arguably the most powerful person in europe now and is
5:25 pm
hoping to secure a fourth term as german chancellor in the general election that takes place there next month. tonight she faces her main rival, martin schultz, in a live debate on german television. is mrs merkel likely to prevail? jenny hill has been trying to find out. it is 12 years since she debated her way into the chancellery. and it looks as though angela merkel is about to do it again. her political longevity no surprise for this cartoonist, who has been drawing her since the start of her career. what i concentrated on was her eyes, half—closed eyes. i'm still drawing her with half—closed eyes, but now i know it's a sign for rationality. you can't look into her mind. that's still my problem and my situation after 12 years of merkel, that i still don't know what the woman is thinking. but we do know she is unrivalled.
5:26 pm
martin schulz, her social democrat opponent, trails behind in the polls. he could win tonight's debate, but he almost certainly won't beat her at the ballot box. but on the campaign trail, the real story of this election. mrs merkel‘s refugee policy is still a source of discontent. these are afd supporters, the anti—migrant party that is likely to enter parliament. it will be the first time the far right will be represented here since world war ii. afd is unlikely to yield real political power here. germany is traditionally governed by a coalition, and the established parties refuse to do business with its members. it may be months before we know what the new german
5:27 pm
government looks like, but you can be sure of one thing. this country's future direction, its relationship with donald trump, its approach to the brexit negotiations, will most likely lie in the hands of one woman. translation: there's an old advertising slogan here which everyone knows, and it applies to angela merkel. it's better to stick with what she's got. she is not extreme. people are impressed with her personal conduct. i remember when president hollande was pictured on a scooter going to see his mistress. you would never see angela merkel going to meet her lover. stability and security. angela merkel, it could be argued, is the boring candidate, but what resonates with german voters is a safe bet. the look out the weather prospects
5:28 pm
now. the best of the weather today was probably in the north—east of scotland. its stage i across north—east areas of england too. this rain has become light and patchy but we will be left with a lot of low cloud, hence the fog around the hills and perhaps over some coasts as well, but a warm night. a grey, misty and murky one to begin with. a spell of rain coming into northern ireland, particularly into scotland with some drizzly showers but it may brighten up drizzly showers but it may brighten up the torch in the midlands. even with all of the cloud around, quite warm and muggy air. a burst of sunshine, and 22 is not out of the question. some rain overnight mind you and that will be moving away into the north sea on tuesday
5:29 pm
morning. some rain to sweep to the south—east but elsewhere turning caller and fresher with some sunshine and just a few showers. it is 5:30pm. the headlines. north korea's latest nuclear weapons test has been described as an unacceptable further threat to the community by theresa may. the regime in north korea said it had successfully detonated hydrogen bomb which could be carried by an intercontinental missile. president trump has said north korea's biggest nuclear test yet shows it is hostile and dangerous to the united states. he's to hold an urgent meeting with his national security team. david davis has accused the eu of making itself look silly by insisting negotiations are not making progress and dismissed reports the uk is preparing to pay a
5:30 pm
£50 billion divorce bill. the era of big payments to the eu is ending, we will be paying something, i suspect. hospital chiefs say the nhs in england may suffer its worst winter in recent history if it does not receive an emergency bailout. the group which represents nhs chief executives has called for between £200 million and £300 million to be made available immediately. # are you reeling in the years... #. walter becker, who co—founded the american band steely dan has died aged 67. in the 1970s the group scored hits with do it again and reeling in the years. . back to our top story. more now on north korea's biggest nuclear test yet — the sixth in just over a decade. drjames hoare is an expert on north korea. he was one of the first diplomats who worked to establish the british
5:31 pm
embassy in the north korean capital pyongyang. i spoke to him a little earlier. james, you were involved in setting up james, you were involved in setting up the embassy. yes, back in the 1970s. we had not had any relations with north korea until 2001, until then we did not have any deep contact with them. after we voted for the admission to north korea to the united nations together with south korea this development that we recognised it as a state because only states going to the united nations but we began to have some low—level political talks, some of which i took part in. and eventually that led to diplomatic relations. the thrust diplomatic relations. the thrust diplomatic relations came from the south korean government at the time. this is the
5:32 pm
height of engagement. north and south korea had met at the summit in pyongyang. more political and economic? very much so, untilthe mid to thousands. south korea had become a major player in economic terms in north korea. but in terms of shaping or curtailing the nuclear ambitions of the north which i understand have a lot to do with the fa ct understand have a lot to do with the fact that the fear of being without them, the fear that without them there will be knocked out as the regime, has the diplomatic road achieved anything because it was what the americans were leading on for quite a number of years. what the americans were leading on for quite a number of yearsm achieved considerable success for ten yea rs achieved considerable success for ten years or so. the 1994 framework
5:33 pm
capped the north korea nuclear programme. it led to some reduction of us sanctions. which at least seemed like an opening to north korea. what it did not lead to is diplomatic relations between the united states and north korea. there we re united states and north korea. there were faults on both sides. united states and north korea. there were faults on both sideslj united states and north korea. there were faults on both sides. i was struck by a quote from the organisation which helps to police boundaries which hasn't come into effect yet because a number of countries including the united states have not ratified it but he said that if confirmed today this would indicate that the north korean nuclear programme is advancing rapidly. i suppose that is the fear, that we can't stop is getting to the stage where it could, could i stress
5:34 pm
launch a nuclear missile at the united states or add one of the other countries beyond the peninsula. the difficulty is that we have no idea how accurate the north koreans are. firing missiles into the sea. although they talked about targeting the waters around guam they did not implement that. i suspect they are not close to a very accurate ability to deliver a nuclear weapon. you have to use that time, rather than grandstanding about it, you have to perhaps talk to the north koreans. accept that they are there and that they are not going away, except that the nuclear programme isn't going away although it might be halted. james hoare, a former british diplomat, talking to
5:35 pm
me earlier. now it has been a busy day in sport. thank you. there are just seven races left in the form of season and lewis hamilton has taken the lead in the championship for the first time this year. he won the italian grand prix after starting the race from a record 69th pole position. party leader bottas came second and sebastian vettel finished third. this report from monster. after the torrential rain of qualifying the weather improved dramatically at mo —— monza as nick powell and reports. the track is nicknamed the temple of speed yet for lewis hamilton the italian grand prix would be a walk in the park with rookie lance stroll with him on the front of the grid he was and a little pressure for his record—breaking 69th start from pole position. he beat everyone to the first corner and never looked back. max verstappen was less fortunate. a
5:36 pm
tangle with felipe massa saw the dutchman come off worse, sending him to the pits repairs. he finished tenth. sebastian vettel was heading in the other direction, at ferrari's home racey started from six and was soon third but that was as good as it got. the biggest challenge that hamilton faced was keeping his concentration. he only surrendered the lead for a couple of la ps surrendered the lead for a couple of laps during pit stops and went on to become the first driver to win back—to—back races this season and with his mercedes team matt but healy bottas finishing second ahead of vettel hamilton leads the championship by three points. the car was fantastic, a dream to drive, thank you to all the fans coming out today, i look forward to coming back next year. it was tricky, i just needed to keep my head down, get places step—by—step. needed to keep my head down, get places step— by—step. the
5:37 pm
needed to keep my head down, get places step—by—step. the car was so strong today, like i said on the team radio, it was amazing, a pure ivy team radio, it was amazing, a pure joy to drive, i enjoyed it, a perfect result the team. we didn't have the pace of the leading two drivers today, yet nevertheless going around, seeing the people gives hope and even if this race has been hardl gives hope and even if this race has been hard i know that we have a very strong car and we will have a very strong car and we will have a very strong and the season. hamilton clearly revelli ng in strong and the season. hamilton clearly revelling in his success in ferrari's backyard but his attention will soon turn to the singapore grand prix in two weeks' time. he struggled there last year, will he turn things around this time or will vettel bounce back. there are sure to be more twists and turns in this 2017 season. chris froome is looking like holding on to his lead at the vuelta a espana, which involves a tough mountainous stage 15 today — there's under a mile to go. he finished ahead of his closest
5:38 pm
rival so he is now leading with six seconds remaining. all smiles on the start line but this would be another height altitude test for chris froome, this would be the final obstacle between him and the tour de france. his lead of 55 seconds was well protected by team sky as this ca re well protected by team sky as this care busier. as those top of the top ofa care busier. as those top of the top of a standing swatted at adam yates of a standing swatted at adam yates of britain broke away to make a brave bid for stage victory. behind him team sky had strength in numbers, to beat chris froome you had to beat them and that didn't look likely. with two and a half miles of the stage to go adam yates's day was ruined by miguel angel lopez. but nobody could spoil things for the man in red. chris broom road to the finish in a group of his main rivals, looking over his shoulder to see vicente nibley six seconds behind. they take a rest
5:39 pm
tomorrow and then chris from moves further ahead, has the chance to move further ahead in the time trial. the tour and britain got underway today. the race will finish in cardiff this year. —— battle of britain. british drivers mark cavendish and geraint thomas were among those taking their place in the peloton. for both of them it was the peloton. for both of them it was the first race back since crashes forced them out of competition recently, in the tour de france. the winner of the race was caleb ewan sprinted to victory on the opening stage of australia. bath started this season by beating leicester tigers. manu tuilagi scored the opening try of the game on his first competitive appearance since january but he and leicester finished appearance since january but he and leicesterfinished on appearance since january but he and leicester finished on the losing side. scoring three quickfire tries
5:40 pm
in the first half including this one. the winger ran almost the full length of the pitch to help bath to their first length of the pitch to help bath to theirfirst win at length of the pitch to help bath to their first win at welford road since 2013. england play slovakia in a world cup qualifier at wembley tomorrow. gareth southgate's side are currently top of group f, two points clear of slovakia in second. england needed three late goals to beat malta on friday, but southgate says his side are becoming savvy to international football now. we would all love to score early and the three up by half—time. 0n we would all love to score early and the three up by half—time. on some occasions it happens but not often so occasions it happens but not often so you have to be prepared to be patient and work your openings. but whichever road the game goes down, we must be able to adapt and adjust to that. we believe that the players are becoming more and more savvy to the challenges of international football. i think it will be our
5:41 pm
biggest challenge in the group. i think they are a good team and play good football, it is the way that we approach the game as well, i think we can play to our best ability. in the final 30 minutes against malta we created a lot of chances, hopefully we can win the game. also in action tomorrow are scotland who are in the same world cup qualifying group as england. scotland, on the back of their crucial win against lithuania on friday, and will play malta tomorrow, and slovenia will host lithuania. and northern ireland, who are second in group c face the czech republic. wales manager chris coleman says ben woodburn has all the attributes he needs to be a great player, the 17 year made his international debut coming off the bench last night and scored the winner against austria, with half an hour to go it was still goalless against austria but as soon
5:42 pm

5:45 pm
the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is james king. welcome back james, what do we have this week? murder in the east end in the victorian thriller the limehouse golem. a newjersey girl thinks she is the unlikely saviour
5:46 pm
of hip—hop in patti cake$. he said i'll be back, and now he is. arnold schwarzenegger returns in the 3—d release of terminator two. we'll we' ll start we'll start with the limehouse golem. what did you make of it. it's set in victorian london, in the music halls of the east end. this is a thriller about a murderer on the loose. bill nighy is trying to track down the murderer. he is here with the brilliant daniel mays. let's have a look at bill in action. what are you looking for? i'm just looking, trying to understand. what else is there to be understood? in terms of logic there is none. he slaughtered the household. the previous week a prostitute, alice dunton, before that, an old man, a scholar. oh, my god. is that? yes, laid upon the open
5:47 pm
pages of a book on jewish folklore. like a bookmark. the legend of the golem. is that how the press got the name? 0ur murderer obviously approved. look at this, women in the streets, i remember reading of that one... her name wasjane quigg. iam also i am also a big fan of daniel mays. is it over the top? maybe that can be a good thing. it is gothic horror. i like that. ifind it gripping. it is gory in parts, but not overly so. it is at the right moments. it is a thriller rather than a horror film. for me it was all about the cast. daniel mays and bill nighy and eddie marsden, as well as some other great actors. i would watch those three leading actors in anything, they are three of my favourite actors. a very
5:48 pm
strong cast. what is going on in this film is the undercurrent to the thriller movement. really it is a film about performance. it is about how performance was so important at this time in the music halls. but also just to people in their everyday lives. there are people in the movie who are putting on a mask and playing roles. and then there is the golem himself, the serial killer, who is this performer who would like an audience and recognition. when you have that theme, that undercurrent running through the movie, that gives the cast something juicy to sink their teeth into. also the music hall, the music hall world is very seductive. reminded me of tipping the velvet? yes, it is visually very rich. very rich, very seductive, great to watch at the movies. jane goldman adapted the original book.
5:49 pm
and it's a good job. lots of plot going on. she has done a greatjob of streamlining it, drip feeding information, the penny has dropped at the right moments. big fan of this. good start. patti cake$ got a lot of interest at the sundance festival. absolutely. fox would love this to be a big crossover hit. it is about a girl from newjersey, the title character, patti, who leads a downbeat life, but dreams of making it big the rap world, in hip—hop. danielle mcdonald, an australian actress, actually, a relative newcomer in this. i think the problem with it is, it is funny and charming but it does not quite know what it wants to be. sometimes it is very kitsch, it reminded me a bit of hairspray. a bit of fun and over the top. sometimes this film gets serious.
5:50 pm
sometimes it wants to make political and social points and it goes a bit 8—mile. a bit the other way. it is six of one and half a dozen of the other. but the music is great. i like that it is subversive, putting this overweight white girl into the world of hip—hop, which traditionally is much more glamorous and macho. shaking things up quite a lot. just not sure whether it knows if it is full on comedy orfull on serious. it is a mix of the two. it's not sure what it wants to be. but she is good? yes, a very charismatic lead, look out for danielle mcdonald. i said we would leave the best until last. terminator two, so good they brought it back. yes, 26 years later, and in 3—d. some would say arnold schwarzenegger's acting was barely 2-d!
5:51 pm
butjames cameron, who had success converting titanic into 3—d, has got the same team to do the same thing. let's have a look at the classic scene. keep it under 65. you don't want to be pulled over. affirmative. no, you have to listen to the way people talk. you don't say, affirmative, you say no problemo, and if somebody comes up to you with an attitude you say, eat me, and if you want somebody to go away you say hasta la vista, baby. hasta la vista, baby. and if someone gets upset, say chill out or you could do combinations. chill out.
5:52 pm
i'd almost forgotten that phrase but now it is back to haunt everybody. i appreciate you saying he has reworked it, it is in 3—d, do we need that? the 3—d is fine, pretty good job. i only saw it when it first came out on the big screen. i had waited a long time to see it on the big screen again. just seeing it on the big screen, forget the 3—d element, it is amazing. because it is a movie of awesome set pieces, and action scenes. we can see some there. it is sarah connor, the linda hamilton character, is one of the great action heroes of all time. it's great to see her on the big screen. just seeing it as big as you can. maybe you have never seen it on the big screen. that is why this is a great opportunity to catch up with it. it is old but it still works. some of the special effects look creaky now. james cameron has admitted that. but the movie has so much power, it is so gutsy, it is full of bravado, that it
5:53 pm
still packs a punch. you may be very young and not even born when this was first released. maybe you've never seen it. maybe there is a new audience for it. do you think people will think it is dated? in 1991 this was the most expensive film of all time. even though it is old now it still holds up because they put so much into it when it first came out. it is worth having a look at if you've never seen it before. yes, you forget how expensive it was. interesting. best out? detroit. it is tough to watch because it is based on true events from 50 years ago. the fateful events of one night in the city. it is doing 0k business in the uk at the moment. i would like to see it do better. perhaps we have had our fill of intensity with dunkirk, which has been such a massive success over the summer and people
5:54 pm
cannot handle another tough, intense true story at the cinema. i don't know. but it's worth seeing. john boyega is great. look out for will poulter, who is fantastic. directed by kathryn bigelow. she was married to james cameron when he made terminator two. so there is a kind of link there! i hope it does better at the cinema. it deserves to. dvd. something to lift us. if you don't want the dark and bleak, something funny and silly to lift us all. yes, this is mindhorn. it is about an out of work actor, a guy who was very popular in the 80s. he's been down on his luck ever since. and he gets a call from the police saying there is a criminal on the loose who is obsessed with the old tv show, mindhorn. you need to get back into character and help solve the crime. he does that. some very funny gags about acting, about tv detectives, lots of references to john nettles, lots of references to bergerac. lots ofjokes about the isle of man, where it is mainly set. but it is done with affection.
5:55 pm
julian barratt and simon farnaby wrote it and directed it. elements of alan partridge, because he was another minor celebrity who was down on his luck. even though you are laughing, even though it is funny, it is done with respect to the genres it is making fun of, which is key. that's delightful. some people felt it was a series of tv sketches woven together. but funny ones. and stay until the end. the end credits are a joy. i didn't know that. great tip. excellent. that will lift everybody. thank you. lovely to see you, james. thanks very much. james king with all of your pointers as to what you might like to see this week. that is it for this week. thank you for being with us. enjoy whatever you might see over the next few days. goodbye. hello, all other weather will come
