and in half an hour, all the action from the premier league, including arsenal's 2—1 defeat at the hands of bournemouth. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the new conservative party chairman brandon lewis has told the bbc that the government is doing everything it can to ensure the serial sex offender john worboys stays in jail. the former black cab driver was jailed in 2009 for drugging and sexually assaulting 12 women, but police believe he may have committed more than 100 attacks. the government is considering seeking a judicial review hearing into the parole boards decision to release him. here's our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. he is known as the black cab rapist. john worboys is believed to have

drugged and sexually assaulted more than 100 women. yet the parole board has decided that after ten years in custody, it is safe for him to be released, and he is due out by the end of the month. the government wants to stop that happening and is looking at the possibility of legal action. anybody out there will appreciate just how awful this must be for victims, to see what is happening. to think about somebody like that being out on the streets. the secretary of state forjustice will be doing everything he can to make sure this man stays behind bars. thejustice secretary has been in the post less than one week. he has asked lawyers to look at weather it is plausible to contest the decision in the courts and whether there is a good chance of success. 0pposition mps welcomed the move. i think that the public are completely appalled that john worboys is being released as early as he is. he is a serious criminal and a threat to women and i do not

think that his victims, nor, frankly, the majority of women, are going to be convinced that he does not continue to be a threat to us. but it would be highly unusual for the government to launch a legal challenge against a decision made by an organisation they are responsible for, and if they do bring judicial review proceedings against the parole board, there is no guarantee of success. we do know that the bar forjudicial review claims is set very high. you cannot simply take a case to court because you do not like the outcome. it has to be unlawful for some reason or another, so we will wait and see. in the meantime, victims ofjohn worboys are being consulted on what conditions he will have to comply with when he is let out. some are concerned that the serial six offender will try to track them down. ukip has suspended the girlfriend of its party leader henry bolton after she made apparently racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee meghan markle.

the mail on sunday has published text messages allegedly sent byjo marney which include derogatory comments about ethnic minorities. the ukip leader henry bolton is now facing calls to resign. dan johnson reports. he has only been ukip leader since last september, and it emerged just a few days ago that henry bolton had left his wife forjo marney, a former glamour model who is 30 years younger. now, this morning, the mail on sunday has printed text messages sent by miss marney. in them, she said that meghan markle had a tiny brain, that she would taint the royal family and that black people were ugly. would taint the royal family, and that black people were ugly. when a reply was sent suggesting that these comments might be racist, she said, "so what?" and that she did not want other races invading her culture. in a statement, she said... ukip confirmed she has been suspended.

the party leader said last night he did not want to comment. ukip‘s mep for the west midlands, bill etheridge, told me his leader should quit. all around this country, there are ukip activists and supporters who are looking to us to take a lead to try to push brexit forward, to try to focus on the issues that actually got us elected and that we are renowned for. and whilst this is happening, we have a leader who has been preferably, as it appears, completely anonymous and invisible, but now, all we get, day after day, despite the hard work of our activists, is talk about issues within his personal life which, frankly, i do not care about, but the way he is handling it is unprofessional. he is a political lightweight, completely out of his depth who frankly needs to move away and let the rest of us get on with pursuing the wishes of the british people in freedom from the eu.

you say you do not care about his personal life and what happens, but if you ask for him to go now, the issue of the moment is his personal life. surely that should be private. the point is, it has been ongoing for weeks. we are trying to get on with the issue at hand, the freedom of our country from the eu. it is rather important. all we get constantly is this issue rumbling on. henry has not dealt with it and in fact there are discrepancies in many of his statements, and much of what he has said and done just does not help the situation. what we have got instead is a man who is now renowned for a problem in his personal life, putting up membership fees at a time when membership is falling and distracting everybody from the issue at hand, the future of our country. frankly, he is a distraction who needs to go, move over and let the professionals take over and get thisjob done. but does it matter if he has been inconsistent about details about his personal life?

does it really make any difference to the party or to party policy or party direction? i think it does when you're talking to the membership as a whole. none of us are saints. there are times when all of us, or many of us, have indiscretions in our lives and it is time to put your hand up and say ok, this happened, i am dealing with that and getting on with the job, and then push forward with policies and ideas to motivate and inspire the people. not to let this thing drag on endlessly with more horrific headline after horrific headline. it is just absolutely dragging the party even further into the mire at a time when we need to be there fighting for the british people, and it is not good enough and he must go. do you not fear that if he were to go ukip would have its fifth leader in three years and ukip would become known as a party that was, you know, good at changing its leader rather than coming up with policies and a direction for the country? nigel farage was an incredibly tough act to follow and we have failed

abysmally so far in picking the right people to do it. however, what we must do now, this really is a last chance saloon, last orders in the last chance saloon, and we have got to make sure we do this correctly and properly and get people involved and in charge who will give some stability to the party, take us forward and give the people some hope that brexit is not going to be hijacked by the conservatives and their watered—down version, or the labour party and their efforts to get us back into the eu. we are going to fight for the real brexit the british people voted for and this is the time when ukip comes back to the fore and we say a very sad and sorry goodbye to henry. thanks for trying but move over and let the professionals take over thejob. police on humberside are investigating after the death of a man at his home in driffield. 30—year—old shane gilmer was attacked on friday night at the house in the village of southburn. police say they want to speak to 55—year—old anthony lawrence in connection with the incident, which also resulted in a woman suffering serious injuries.

there are reports a crossbow was used in the attack. 0ur correspondent fiona trott is in southburn. as you can see, the village here is still cordoned off almost two days on. the attack happened on friday evening. police investigations continuing in east yorkshire. there are reports that a crossbow was used in the attack. this has not been confirmed by humberside police but they have told us that overnight the police dog teams, the force helicopter was out of searching for whoever was responsible for the murder of 30—year—old shane, the name just confirmed by the police, shane gilmer, who died in hospital yesterday. they have asked for information from members of the public. the man they want to speak to is 55—year—old anthony lawrence, described as being white with short, dark hair, around 910" tall and of large build. all the airports, ports,

all police forces across the uk on alert for this man. they are asking anybody who knows his whereabouts or has any information about the attack here to contact the police, to dial 999. in the meantime, a woman who was also injured here on friday evening is still being treated in hospital with serious injuries. talks are continuing today to try to save the construction company carillion. the firm, which is a key government contractor, has huge debts and a big pension deficit. the government says ministers are "keeping a very close eye" on the situation. our business correspondent joe lynam is here. you have been keeping a close eye on these talks. we learned today that carillion owns £900 million —— owes £900 million to four or five banks. could they be part of the solution

markelov they are central to the solution. if the banks say they have lost patience, they will have to file for administration. having spoken to a lot of banks today they say they will show forbearance or patients if they get some sort of hint from government that the government will play a role in future carillion contracts. that basically means carillion‘s payments going forward could in theory be guaranteed by the government, then the banks would be reassured that the banks would be reassured that the government is standing over those payments. these are huge contracts, billions of pounds going over a number of years in key bits of infrastructure, schools, hospitals, prisons, mod facilities, so hospitals, prisons, mod facilities, so you hospitals, prisons, mod facilities, so you can see hospitals, prisons, mod facilities, so you can see whether government is keen to keep them going, while banks wa nt keen to keep them going, while banks want their money back as well. and what sort of time pressure are they under to find a solution?|j under to find a solution? i have been told it is a matter of days, that they need a solution soon. i have also learned there will be a

key meeting tomorrow morning in whitehall involving the five largest banks in britain who are all owned money buys carillion. the government is chairing this process, i suspect it is one of the final roles of the dice to make sure they can... be exhausted all options before deciding whether there is a long—term solution for carillion. if they can't find a solution that is good for everybody it will be tough, andi good for everybody it will be tough, and i suspect britain's second biggest construction company may have to file for administration. with potentially thousands ofjobs in jeopardy. yes, 20,000 directly employed in the uk, i'd say a similar number is not more indirectly employed by subcontracting companies, painters, joiners, welders, all these giant engineering companies subcontracted work by carillion carrying out their business. if the company cannot pay its bills or goes into administration, it is bad for them as well and that is thousands of jobs. thank you. chinese media is reporting

that the oil tanker which has been on fire in the east china sea for more than a week has sunk. the iranian ship had been adrift and ablaze off the shanghai coast for eight days following a collision with another vessel. china central television has said the ship suddenly ignited and sank. iranian officials say all 32 crew members have died. the magazine publisher conde nast has said it has suspended work with two of the world's leading fashion photographers, after they were accused of sexually exploiting male models. lawyers for mario testino, who is famous for photographing the royal family, said the accusations in the new york times had not come from reliable sources. bruce weber has also denied the allegations against him. more than 160 passengers and crew had a lucky escape when their plane skidded off a runway in turkey and plunged down a steep slope.

the nose of the boeing 737 came to restjust a few metres from the black sea. andy moore reports. the accident happened in the darkness last night. it was only in the daylight this morning that it became apparent how close to disaster the plane had come. the pegasus flight from ankara skidded off the runway in wet conditions and down a steep slope, with its nose coming to restjust metres from the sea. one of the engine is detached from the wing and ended up in the water. these pictures from on board the plane shows the understandable panic and confusion. passengers had to clamber up an incline towards the rear of the plane to get out. 162 passengers and six crew were on board. some people were taken to hospital as a precaution but nobody was injured. the airport was closed for a while last night but has reopened this morning. theories about the cause of the incident include a bird strike or ice on the runway but the governor of trabzon says

it was still under investigation. this was a lucky escape for passengers on this plane. last year was the safest ever for commercial aviation. there were around 4 billion journeys made last year, and not a single passenger jet crashed. andy moore, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: the justice secretary thejustice secretary considers appealing for a judicial review after the decision to release serial sex attackerjohn worboys. ukip leader henry bolton faces calls to resign as the party suspends his girlfriend for alleged racist remarks. police hunt for a man after a fatal attack reportedly involving a fatal attack reportedly involving a crossbow which killed one man and seriously injured a woman in east yorkshire. nicola sturgeon has said she will be able to make a judgment

on whether to back a second referendum on scottish independence by the end of this year. the first minister told the bbc her decision would be made when the shape of a deal between britain and the european union became clear in the autumn, as our political correspondent leila nathoo explained. she is very clear that she thinks the best course of action for scotland is to stay within the eu, the european single market, something that theresa may has explicitly ruled out. she has commissioned some studies on the impact of different outcomes of brexit on the scottish economy, but there is also, as you say, the intersection between brexit and the prospects for a second scottish independence referendum. she is talking about needing to see the shape of any deal, how the negotiations between brussels and britain conclude, so that we have an idea, she thinks, of the future relationship going forward, and only then does she think the time would be right to consider a future scottish referendum. based on what the prime minister has said, based on what the european

commission is saying, around about the end of this year we should have some clarity about that future relationship. so between october and the end of the year, you will be able to tell us whether there is going to be a second independence referendum...? that is when i will be able to look at that and make a judgment about what i think the appropriate steps for scotland are and i will then report that to the people of scotland and the parliament of scotland. there is not really enough time for a second independence referendum if we are leaving in march 2019 and you have to take a decision in autumn 2018. there is not enough time. we will make decisions on timing when we get to that point and look at that but we have also got a situation, and i accept the detail of this is yet to emerge, but we also got a... the days and weeks pass at a speed you cannot control. the prime minister is saying that there will now be a two—year

implementation period, which everyone else calls a transition period, where, and this is yet to be agreed and hopefully will be, that will effectively be a steady state transition. i will make judgments, and they are myjudgments. i have to put them to the scottish parliament about what i believe is in the best interests of scotland, protecting our best interests in all circumstances. and the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has also been out and about this morning talking about the possibility of a second referendum and what labour's position might be? he has, this is a hot topic since nigel farage earlier this week rather unexpectedly brought that onto the table, saying he could perhaps be coming round to the idea of there being a second referendum to put the issue to bed, because he thinks there is still a lot of opposition to the brexit process. labour has been, you know, asked quite frequently whether they would be supporting a second referendum. the lib dems, of course, have that as a policy. now the unexpected corner of nigel farage. jeremy corbyn today speaking to robert peston on itv was asked explicitly whether it was current labour policy to back that referendum. we are not supporting or calling for a second referendum. in any circumstances? what we have called for is a meaningful vote in parliament, and that is the one area that i think parliament has asserted itself, in the vote just before christmas.

i just want to point out to you that you are talking very much in the present tense at the moment. you are saying we are not supporting a second referendum. you're not saying we would never support a second referendum. we're not calling for one either. in any circumstances? what we have called for is a meaningful vote in parliament, and that is the one area that i think parliament has asserted itself, in the vote just before christmas. i just want to point out to you that you are talking very much in the present tense at the moment. you are saying we are not supporting a second referendum. you're not saying we would never support a second referendum. we're not calling for one, either. so, jeremy corbyn refusing to rule out in the future, perhaps, labour coming around to that idea of supporting a second referendum. but corbyn also talking about labour's position on the single market, which has caused divisions within his own party and lead to nicola sturgeon calling for labour to come out and back staying in the single market. she believes it is the best solution for scotland and that there is a parliamentary majority for staying in the single market. jeremy corbyn very clear today once

again — equating membership of the single market to being a member of the eu, saying we have to respect the referendum result and cannot remain members of the single market, even though there is a large constituency of his own party who do not believe that is the case. the new chairman of the conservatives says their activists must be better at using social media to put forward the party's message. brandon lewis who took over the role in last week's government reshuffle, said the tories would equip activists with a "cyber toolkit." speaking to the andrew marr show, mr lewis said he wanted to help supporters engage with potential voters. what matters to me is we have got a huge number of people, notjust members but volunteers and activists around the country out their day in and day out knocking on doors, delivering leaflets, getting involved on social media to spread

the message about the positive things we are doing in governments are people so we win the votes in local and general elections. have you got as many members as the labour party? i will not play a numbers game, tempting at it is. they are absolutely taking you to the cleaners online as you more or less admitted and they can mobilise up less admitted and they can mobilise up and down the country to hit constituencies with actual bodies knocking on doors and handing out leaflets. the conservatives have nothing like that number of people. we have a huge number of great people delivering leaflets, knocking on doors daily, and as we saw in the last test, june last year, we didn't win the seats we would like but we got over a million votes more votes than before, the biggest vote we have had in decades. iwant than before, the biggest vote we have had in decades. i want to build on that and quite rightly, building oui’ on that and quite rightly, building our online presence but doing it in a respectful way. within the past half—hour humberside

police have confirmed that a crossbow has been recovered from the scene of a murder in the village of south burn near driffield. the victim, shane kilmer, died in hospital, and a pregnant woman named as laura said was injured. detectives have appealed to the public for help in finding the suspects. the incident happened in their home in south byrne into a field on friday evening and we are actively searching for the suspect. what is important to us is that we find him, and he is anthony lawrence, also known as tony howorth, and we want to arrest him and bring him in safely. we want to thank the public for their support and investigation assistance so far. their information has been invaluable to us and we are following up a number of lines of enquiry. we have recovered a car linked to mr lawrence, a blue vauxhall, being examined by forensic team. we still have police teams in

the south burn area who will remain in that area for the next few days both as part of the investigation, but importantly also to provide reassurance to the people living and working there. as we have said we don't believe mr lawrence is a threat to the wider public. this is an isolated incident and he was known to both shane and laura, in fa ct known to both shane and laura, in fact they were neighbours. we don't know how he will react if challenged, however, so please don't approach him, just call 999 and leave it to us. let's get more now on the talks to save the construction company carillion which holds a number of key government contracts. i am joined holds a number of key government contracts. iam joined now holds a number of key government contracts. i am joined now by rene lavanchy, and infrastructure journalist. how would you assess the degree of trouble carillion is in? very considerable trouble, obviously. the thing i suppose i would note is that although it is

very serious and very alarming for everybody employed by carillion it is unfortunately all too common in the construction industry, construction firms tend to operate on razor—thin margins. with regard to what has been discussed at the moment, some sort of emergency financing package, iwould moment, some sort of emergency financing package, i would say, moment, some sort of emergency financing package, iwould say, if carillion is able to offer its lenders are credible restructuring plan, then hopefully tomorrow they will be able to offer it emergency financing which will allow it to fulfil its contract. if that doesn't happen, that's when i think carillion will not be able to fulfil all those public sector and other contracts it has, and that's when the mostjobs will be at risk. that's interesting that you say construction firms often operate with slim margins like that. yes. in the case of an enormous company like

carillion, are you surprised that it should be in trouble? is it almost inevitable that it is so big that there will be elements of the company which are weak? that is an interesting question. i would say it is an all—too—familiar problem in the construction industry. for example, carillion is currently in charge of some contracts to electrify railways in the northwest for network rail, which it took over from balfour beatty, which threw in the towel, another big construction company, when it found the contracts we re company, when it found the contracts were problematic and it was not making much money on them. in terms of, is it so big it is inevitable, construction is a difficult business, and when you are as big of carillion, and fortunately with the current state of the industry, we cvs sorts of problems cropping up all too often, and carillion as a

number of big contracts which it hasn't been able to make pay. how do you see the government's role in this? the leader of the lib dems says the government shouldn't bail them out. i see the government's role is extremely problematic. it is ha rd to role is extremely problematic. it is hard to see how the government can stand behind carillion in a way which doesn't create some kind of moral hazard. 0bviously, risk and who bears the risk is a big issue in infrastructure, and there are lots of people who are making a big noise, saying government shouldn't be privatising the profits and nationalising the losses. so if the government were to try to provide some kind of guarantee on carillion's existing contracts, it's

ha rd to carillion's existing contracts, it's hard to see how that wouldn't allow cruelly into essentially wash its hands of overrunning and getting things wrong on those contracts, so they are in a really tight position right now is. we will have to leave it there, rene lavanchy, many thanks. the governor of the state of hawaii has blamed human errorfor a mobile phone alert sent to residents warning of an imminent missile attack. the false alarm caused widespread panic and included the words: "this is not a drill". a corrected text message wasn't sent out until 38 minutes later. bill hayton reports. for around half an hour on saturday, the people of hawaii looked anxiously to the skies. 0n the university campus, students ran for the emergency shelters. an official text warned residents to prepare for the worse. people cowered in bathrooms or to what cover the good. people cowered in bathrooms or took what cover they could. we alljust huddled together and,

yes, just thought if this is going to be the end, i guess we are in a beautiful place doing something we love. but it was pretty scary, i tell you. you start hearing stories about what was happening down in waikiki beach. they were evacuating hotels and the children were being pushed into drainpipes to get them protected. was a north korean nuclear missile about to hit honolulu? no — the whole thing was the result of a stunningly simple mistake. at 08:05, this test started. 08:07 was when the trigger was pulled on the test. the wrong button was pushed on this test — it went into an actual event versus a test. there is fury on hawaii that the click of a single button could be responsible for so much panic, and that anger is directed towards the state government. i know first—hand that what happened today was totally unacceptable. many in our community were deeply affected by this and i am sorry for that pain and confusion that

anybody might have experienced. last month, in response to north korea's missile and nuclear tests, hawaii reinstated its warning sirens for the first time since the end of the cold war. at least everybody now knows the system works, but that is small comfort for the millions who thought their world was about to end on saturday. matt taylor has the weather. hello. big weather change on the way next week and a week for big jackets, things set to turn colder across the country, with the wintry weather particularly across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. snow on the hills here and for all, much windier. windy weather setting in this evening, scotland and northern ireland with rain, wind could be

liverpool look set to become the first team to beat manchester city in the premier league this season. they lead 4—1 at anfield, with less than 20 minutes to go. alex 0xlade—chamberlain gave liverpool the lead early on with this long range strike, but leroy sane scored an equaliser at the near post for city approaching half—time. and despite the visitors strong start tot he second half, liverpool have scored two goals, first this delicate finish from roberto firmino, then the pick of the bunch from sadio mane. then it was salah who added the fourth goal. a brilliant long—range

side, but after the interval they came to put things right. six minutes they got in front. that might have made arsenal feel more co mforta ble, might have made arsenal feel more comfortable, given they have never lost to bournemouth. if they were complacently proved costly as callum wilson continued his run of scoring every time he has faced arsenal. less tha n every time he has faced arsenal. less than five minutes later, they we re less than five minutes later, they were blown away. ayew with the first goalfor were blown away. ayew with the first goal for bournemouth to lead them away from the relegation zone and pile yet more pressure on their manager. we make mistakes, that we cannot afford at that level. 0verall, from upstairs, we did not create enough chances. note alexis sanchez. i presume he was available? in the transfer period anything can happen at any minute. that is why i decided i wanted to focus on just the game. does it mean you think his situation will be resolved quickly? yes. do you know where he will end

golf, but she knows me better than anyone. when i was getting uptight or going a little fast, she would calm me down and she was just massive this week, i can't say how good she was. has she given you a hint how the check might be spent? the caddie nominee gets about 10%, but i think she will get 100%, but i do not mind. staying with golf, and europe have beaten asia to retain the eurasia cup in malaysia. they had been down by a point going into today's singles, but won eight out of 12 matches in kuala lumpur. it finished 14—10 to europe. i learned a lot about players and myself. i learned a lot about how we do things together. 0bviously people will look at the players that are not here, the very strong players

that are not here, most likely will come into the fold coming forward. but this group of players, i have had a really good experience with them this week and it will stand as well when we go out in the future. after weeks of teasing an annoucement, a world heavyweight unification fight between anthonyjoshua and the unbeatenjoseph parker has finally been confirmed. joshua holds the ibf and wba belts, while new zealander parker is the wbo champion. the pair will meet on the 31st of march at cardiff's principality stadium — wherejoshua staged his most recent victory against french challenger carlos ta kam. the contest will put the winner within touching distance of becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since lennox lewis in 1999. there's been a shock on the opening day of the uk masters snooker event at alexandra palace. world champion mark selby is out after losing... ...6—5 in a thrilling match against former world number one, mark williams. selby, who had been 5—3 up

missed this crucial red in the deciding frame, to hand control of the frame to the welshman who took full advantage. mark allen faces luca brecel in tonight's evening game. the first tennis grand slam of the year — the australian open — gets under way overnight. 36—year—old roger federer says his age helps take the pressure off, as he heads into the tournament as favourite to wins the men's title. the five—time champion won his first major title for five years, with a stunning run in melbourne last year, and with rivals novak djokovic and rafael nadal on their way back from injury, and britain's andy murray absent, federer is the man to beat. with age, ifeel like i play down my chances because i don't think a 36—year—old should be the favourite ofa 36—year—old should be the favourite of a tournament. that should not be the case. that is why i see things more relaxed in the later stage of

my career. i feel like more relaxed in the later stage of my career. ifeel like maybe somebody like a rafa, with the year he has had, or a novak with the six titles he had had here, if it is unknown with how they are feeling, they could very well be the favourites, too. at the end of the day it is alljust talk beforehand. before i go, football fans will want to know the score between liverpool and manchester city. they havejust pulled a goal back, it is now 4—2, liverpool still have the lead and are in control. five minutes left of normal time. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i'll have more for you in the next hour. now though it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.

to take us through this week's cinema releases, mark kermode is back. what have you been watching? as you'll know, awards season is upon us. we have darkest hour, for which gary 0ldman is hotly tipped for 0scars. we have the brawler, mukkabaaz, a boxing—movie—cum—political—romance. and three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri, from martin mcdonagh. darkest hour. you wait years for a churchill film to come along and we've had two quite recently, really. so we reviewed churchill with brian cox here on the show a few months ago. the story then was that brian cox was playing brilliantly, i think, churchill anxiety—ridden in the run up to d—day. now we have gary 0ldman as churchill, anxiety—ridden around the time of dunkirk. it's 1940. the nazis are sweeping across europe. the resistance is crumbling everywhere.

he's basically being advised by all sides to appease rather than fight. here's a clip. nothing even remotely patriotic in death or glory if the odds are firmly on the former. nothing inglorious in trying to shorten a war that we are clearly losing. losing! europe is still... europe is lost. and before our forces are wiped out completely, now is the time to negotiate. in order to obtain the best conditions possible. hitler will not insist on outrageous terms. he will know his own weaknesses. he will be reasonable. when will the lesson be learned? how many more dictators must be... wooed, appeased.

good god, given immense privileges. before we learn! you cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth! that is pretty much the give—me—an—award clip. there's no surprise it's got such awards buzz about it. and he won a golden globe, didn't he? yeah. i think i remember in 2012, when it looked like he was going to win the oscar, then he was beaten to the punch byjean dujardin, i think it was. i think this time may well be his year. and it is a terrific performance. despite being buried under a lot of facial prosthetics, you know, you can see his personality coming through. it's a very interesting take on churchill. i think the performance has conviction and grit. much as i really, really like the brian cox film, i think this is a really solid, awards—courting and probably awards—worthy performance. my problem is the film itself, which is not as good as his performance. 0n the one hand, it's tojoe wright's credit that he's trying to inject a sense of immediacy and urgency into a film which could become

a bunch of people arguing in rooms, essentially. and he does that well. but he also mixes up, on the one hand some very well created, you know, historical recreations, with some utterly fanciful dramatic license. such as a scene in which churchill suddenly decides to take a quick referenda of the way the british public feel by going on the tube train and asking people what they think about what's going on. in a scene which, whatever the emotional truth of it may be, just struck me as utterly preposterous. i think the central performance is very good. and it's a crack cast. it is. kristin scott thomas. it's a very good cast and clearly a crowd pleaser. it's going down incredibly well with the american critics. i have no doubt that it will play very well. i have to say, from my point of view, there were moments in it that i thought it was cringy. where it was much too on—the—nose. i felt like it was

explaining everything. you know, obviously, this is complicated subject matter, but there are certain moments in which characters don't have to be introduced by their name, their title and rank whilst they're actually in the room with you. but the thing that will carry it is the performance. and it is a really good performance. i think it will continue to be rewarded with awards. we will soon know in the next few weeks. what's the second choice? the brawler, mukkabaaz. which is this boisterous, politically—tinged—boxing—movie—cum— romance. from the director of the gangs of wasseypur. which i think we spoke about on this show here. young boxer struggling to find his place in the world, finds himself at odds with the local big boss. he falls in love with a young woman who has no voice but whose actions speak volumes. it's a strange and occasionally ramshackle affair. the dialogue is full of cussing. and colloquial cussing at that. there is music in it but it is very racy in its lyrical content. the fight sequences, you really feel that you're watching

people beating seven bells out of each other. it has the ability to eschew conventions and mix in grit and substance with its story. i think it's a bit overlong. two and a half hours. i felt it could be tightened up a little bit. but what i liked about it, firstly, it is a bit anarchic. a bit ramshackle. you're not sure where it's going. it seems to switch genres at certain times. it always keeps you on your toes. i mean, a boxing movie should do. it is a film which dances around you and keeps you alert. i enjoyed it. it's not perfect, but it's a pretty solid thriller with some sort of social things to say, as well. 0k, yeah, that's interesting. good to bring us something that i certainly didn't know too much about. ifeel like i've read a lot about three billboards. i'm a huge frances mcdormond fan. me, too. so talented. and a big martin mcdonagh fan. so this is the latest from martin mcdonagh who of course made in bruges. frances mcdormand probably still most famous for fargo. 0h!

fantastic. an extraordinary cv. so, like darkest hour, this is shaping up to be a major 0scar contender. it's a western—inflected tragi—comedy. frances mcdormand is a grieving mother. her daughter was abducted and killed. and the local police force, headed up by woody harrelson as the chief, hasn't made any arrests. in a state of desperation, she decides to take those titular three billboards and emblazen them with signs that name and shame the police department and say, "how come there have been no arrests?". here's a clip. when the dna don't match no one who's ever been arrested. and when the dna don't match any other crime nationwide. and when there wasn't a single eyewitness from the time she left your house to the time we found her... well, right now, there ain't too much more we can do. could pull blood from every man and boy in this town, over the age of eight. there's several rights laws prevents that, mrs hayes. and what if he was just

passing through town. pull bloody from every man in the country, then. and what if he wasjust passing through the country? if it was me, i'd start up a database. every male baby what's born, stick him on it. and as soon as he'd done something wrong, cross— reference it, make 100% certain it was a correct match, then kill him. yeah, well, there's definitely civil rights laws prevents that. you can see from that clip that what the film does is it plays with your sympathies. 0n the one hand frances mcdormand is set up as the heroine. but then what she's saying there is outrageous. and suddenly, the chief is the one who's reasonable. i think the real triumph of this film is, it's a tragi—comedy that is very funny. that's one of the few clips that we could play that doesn't have chaucerian swearing in it. martin mcdonagh has a real ear for this stuff. and it is very funny. he can make you laugh and gasp. he writes brilliantly. he does. before, he had a cynical edge. but this actually has heart. because the tragedy is, if anything, more powerful than the comedy. so what you get is a story

about people who are eaten up by rage, eaten up by anger, eaten up by desperation. it's really a film about how those things impact upon the characters. there are these lines that are delivered as trite little greeting card messages. "anger only begets greater anger". "through love comes calm". and yet they seem to be sincere. what really surprised me is how tender this film is. yes, it's very funny. yes, it's very violent. yes, it's very dark. yes, it deals with edgy subject matter. but it also has a really tender heart. it has upset some people because all the characters are seen to be three dimensional. like sam rockwell is introduced as a racist cop. but as it goes on, you start to see he's also a victim of his circumstances. that doesn't play very well with everybody. because it is a film about moral ambivalence in which there isn't a good character or a bad character. everybody is in this kind of morass. but i thought it worked really well.

i've seen it twice. second time round it was more powerful. when it needs to be funny, it's blisteringly funny. but it's also really tragic. and, oddly enough, very tender. goodness. rich. yes. very rich film. yeah, i'd be interested to know what you think about it. we can discuss next week. for now, i know best out you're saying is anotherfilm — stunning scenery, beautiful setting, but quite bleak, as well. yes, hostiles, which is an end of an era western from scott cooper. christian bale is a battle hardened captain ordered to take his nemesis back to his sacred lands to die. it is a film, therefore, about coming to terms with the legacy of violence. actually, the reason i've chosen it is because it has a brilliant score by max richter, which is really evocative. the score seems to come out of the landscape. it uses this incredible instrument called a yaybahar which i'd never heard of before until i heard this film. it really captured me. i think it's not getting perhaps the attention that it should have got. i think it's a very

interesting piece of work. it's called hostiles. it's worth it for the score alone. and dvd, you've picked one of my films of last year detroit. superb. why isn't that on the awards radars? i don't begin to understand. it's so well made. really, really brilliant. the anatomy of an uprising. set in the late 1960s but i think relevant to today. fantastic ensemble cast. john boyega, will poulter, both absolutely brilliant. i would have had both of them in supporting actor nominations. fantastically directed by kathryn bigelow. yet somehow it seems to have slipped off the radar, which is a shame. i thought it was a really gripping piece of work. absolutely. a hard watch, but it is brilliant. but it has to be tough because of the subject matter. it would be wrong if it wasn't. absolutely. this is the chance to see it, if you didn't see it in the cinema. it's on dvd this week. mark, thank you very much. see you next week for more. there is, of course, more film news and reviews from across the bbc on the website. you know the address, bbc.co.uk/mark kermode. you can find our previous programmes on the bbci player. it's a busy week at the cinema.

enjoy your cinema going. see you next time, bye—bye. hello there. big weather change on the way for next week, and certainly a week for the big jackets. things are set to turn much colder across the country. with it we will see some wintry weather, particularly across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. a good deal of snow over the hills here, and for all areas it will turn much windier, too. windy weather setting in this evening. scotland and northern ireland with outbreaks of rain, winds could be gale force, if not severe gale force in places in the west. that wet and windy weather spreads its way across england and wales into the morning, reaching east anglia and the south—east by the end of the night. temperatures though, because of the rain, wind and cloud, holding up above freezing. maybe a touch of frost in the highland glens of scotland. but, as for your monday morning commute, not a great one across east anglia and the south—east. some heavy bursts of rain around, strong to gale force winds,

the strongest winds will be around the coast, but even inland it will be a gusty start to the day. lots of cloud, even further west across the midlands, south—west england, wales and into good parts of northern england, occasional rain here. but there are some gaps, there will be some dry moments, not everybody will get wet on the morning commute. and there is a chance that some across northern england may see a bit of sunshine peek through. the bigger chance of sunshine peeking through in scotland and northern ireland, showers though already on the go here. they will become a bit more frequent through the day, the breeze picking up. it turns colder and colder as the day goes on as well. those showers turning wintry, notjust on the hills of north—west scotland. england and wales though, after a cloudy start, will see a bit more sunshine into the afternoon, all should see it at some point. it will be punctuated by some heavy showers, the odd rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out either. the temperatures in the afternoon, in double figures in the south, but notice further north, the colder air seeping in. and that feed of cold winds continues into monday night. the showers turning increasingly to sleet and snow in scotland, northern ireland and northern england. by the time we hit tuesday, indeed for the rest of the week, colder air will be firmly in place, so that flow, generally coming

in from the north—west almost throughout. certainly on tuesday, an added chilled to the winds, bringing lots of showers. the showers of rain, sleet and hail in the south, sunshine in between. snow on the hills, but snow to lower levels with the showers in parts of northern england, scotland and northern ireland. here are the wind—chill values. as we go into tuesday afternoon, made to feel completely sub zero across the north. the cold feed continues into wednesday, sunshine and showers. but wednesday night into thursday, a chance of a significant and disruptive area of low pressure crossing the country quite quickly, but it could bring severe gales. we will keep you updated on the exact track of that, and the impact over the coming days. goodbye for now. hello and welcome to bbc news. the new conservative party chairman, brandon lewis, has told the bbc that the government is doing everything it can to make sure the serial sex offender, john worboys, "stays behind bars". the government is considering applying forjudicial review of the parole board decision that worboys should be released soon, after nine years in jail. i've been speaking to human rights barrister, hugh southey,

about the potential challenges they face. 0ne one of the difficulties, as an interested member of the public, because the parole board decision is private, it is impossible to know whether or not
