he released a statement saying he didn't consider himself a hero and was merely doing hisjob. the water regulator is to investigate why thousands of homes in england and wales suffered shortages or a total loss of supply following the recent cold weather. 0fwat‘s review follows emergency handouts of water for people who were cut off. simonjones reports. emergency water handouts on the streets. tens of thousands of customers, particularly in south—east england and parts of wales, forced to endure days of inconvenience as the taps run dry. they are simply meant to get the water fixed. i think this is absolutely appalling. it is shocking that there is such poor can indication, well, zero can indicate oi'i. indication, well, zero can indicate on. as pipes burst in the fall which followed the cold spell, the water company said they were facing an unprecedented situation. —— the

thaw. 0fwat said today it understood how distressing it had been for people to be left without a vital public service the review will examine: southern water, for example, is giving households who were cut off for more than a day, £75, condemned as derisory by some of those affected. 0fwat wants to hear from businesses, households and local authorities. it wants proof that lessons will be learnt. 0therwise, it says, it may be forced to act. president trump has told crowds at an election rally in pennsylvania that his proposed meeting with the north korean leader kim jong—un could lead to the "greatest deal for the world." during a wide—ranging speech, the american leader warned europe about more possible tariffs, and also launched his slogan for re—election in 2020. and he talked up the prospects of a peace deal with north korea. they are not sending missiles up,

andi they are not sending missiles up, and i believe that. i really do. i think they want to do something, i think they want to do something, i think they want to do something, i think they want to make peace, i think they want to make peace, i think it is time and i think we've shown great strength. i think that's also important, right? more measures to cut the use of plastics will be announced by the chancellor in the coming days. philip hammond will use his spring statement on tuesday to announce plans for a public consultation into taxing plastic waste. the government's target is to eliminate avoidable plastic waste, by 2042. a police investigation has been launched after anti—muslim letters were sent to a number of people in several cities. the letters were delivered to addresses in bradford, leicester, london, cardiff and sheffield. they contained suggestions of a series of violent acts to be taken against muslims and mosques. counter—terrorism police say they're investigating a possible hate crime. new evidence has emerged about an

attempt by the construction firm karelian to get an emergency government bailouts of £10 million just before it collapsed. carillion. .. just before it collapsed. carillion... the firm has wound up with debts of almost £1 billion. china's parliament, the national people's congress, is expected to approve a ruling today which would remove the two—term limits for the country's presidency. the move will allow xi jinping to stay in office beyond the end of his second term in 2023, and possibly rule indefinitely. we can talk to our correspondent stephen mcdonell, who is in beijing. stephen, had to see you. how much longer does xijinping stephen, had to see you. how much longer does xi jinping want to stay in power? well, in the coming hours, when the 3000 delegates here at the great hall of the people vote for xi jinping to effectively be able to stay on beyond two terms, they are

giving him the green light to stay on for as long as he likes. and given the power that xi jinping already has in china, it is hard to imagine there will be much of a dissenting vote. we will know in the coming hours what the official numbers are, but the congress here has never rejected any major proposal from the communist party andi proposal from the communist party and i don't think it is going to start today. it is interesting, there hasn't been anything like a national debate about this, or discussion in the media. it is all being downplayed here, despite the enormous ramifications of this decision. so even though, technically, as the head of the army and the chairman of the congress party, xijinping could have hung around anyway without the presidency title, it seems he wants to have a title, it seems he wants to have a title as well, and the fact that he has gone to all this trouble to change the constitution to allow him to do it, well, it seems like you can be sure that xi jinping is going to be hanging around for many more yea rs to be hanging around for many more years to come, beyond his second term. what time do we hear the

announcement? it will be coming in the next couple of hours. 0k. announcement? it will be coming in the next couple of hours. ok. we will be speaking to you soon, then. rare footage of a baby western lowland gorilla has been filmed in a national park in congo. i love this. me too. can you tell? the baby is thought to be a week old. it will now spend two to three years clinging to its mother. western lowland gorillas are critically endangered with only an estimated 100,000 left in the wild. we do like baby stories today. it is mothering sunday. we do like baby stories today. it is mothering sundaylj mothering sunday. i like that idea, cleaning on for several years. still the same in my house. —— clinging. let's bring you up to date with the papers. the mail on sunday is taking a look at one charity, shame on the

this is about a businessman who becomes a kind of wanted criminal? yeah, so the story is, david 0yelowo is a sort of fairly hapless character working for a drug company. and he ends up faking his own kidnapping in mexico, because he discovers essentially that he's going to lose his job, it looks like he's going to lose his wife, he hasn't got anything else to lose, so he fakes his own kidnapping. it starts off with him going on the trip to mexico, with joel edgerton and charlize theron, both of whom are chewing the scenery as his evil superiors. here's a clip. there it is again. what is that smell? barbecue — ialways bring it for angel. angel, buenos dias. there you go. gracias. hello. new app. amazing.

know what else is amazing is actually learning a foreign language. taco bell, huh? that's sensational. i mean, as i said, chewing the scenery. here's the thing with this film. in terms of the plot, it is all over the place, it's one where the writers have clearly decided to throw a bunch of ideas at the wall and see what sticks, and only some of them do. it gets by, however, largely on the fact that you like the cast. so, david 0yelowo is a very likeable antihero figure. they are very dislikeable villains in a real — she's basically playing cruella deville, and they're enjoying themselves. there are entire character threads... sharlto copley turns up halfway through suddenly, and the film takes an entire different direction. there are entire sections of it that don't hang together, and at the end you go, none of it added up. but whilst watching it, i enjoyed it much more than i thought was going to because the individual set pieces. there is one set piece

in which a drug lord demands to know from the people who he's holding hostage whether or not they agree that sergeant pepper is the best beatles album. and it's one of those weirdly surreal moments that works. others don't. the film could have lost 20 or 30 minutes. it could have lost one entire thread. it's shambolic, no question, and it's a mess, no question. but it's an entertaining mess, largely because i like the central characters. david 0yelowo is absolutely brilliant, and he kind of holds the whole thing together. is sergeant pepper the best beatles album? no. no, 0k. glad we got a verdict there. now, next, you were never really here. this is a kind of vigilante thriller? well, it looks like that but it isn't. it's a lynne ramsay film. lynne ramsay made rat catcher, we need to talk about kevin. she is someone who makes films entirely on her own terms. this is based on a novella byjonathan ames. and the story is that joaquin phoenix is an enforcer, somebody who is a hired gun, who specialises in retrieving lost kids, lost teenagers.

he is sent at the beginning of the film to get back a senator's missing daughter. that's the mechanics of the plot. however, lynne ramsay isn't really that interested in plot mechanics. what she's interested in is the fact that he's a very damaged character. she described him as somebody who's got what is like a head full of broken glass. and what the film does is it gives you this nominal thriller narrative, but actually it's a very poetic portrait of somebody who's life is falling apart, who's haunted by the ghosts of the past, the score is byjohnny greenwood, whose work is brilliant. the whole film has this really overwhelming sensory experience. it's got a brilliant sound design.

see it in a cinema that's playing it loud. and i've now seen it a couple of times, and the first time i found it elliptical, almost hard to follow the plot, but you don't care because what you're following is the characters. second time around i thought, this is proper cinema making. lynne ramsay is an absolute genius, nobody makes films like her. she makes few films, and when she does they are as far as i'm concerned, she has a perfect strike rate, and this is already one of my favourite films of the year and we're only in march. wow. yes. now, mom and dad, which sounds very nice, with nicholas cage, but it's actually parents turning quite nasty on their children? yeah. so it's one of those "what if" horror movies, what if parents suddenly decided to turn on their kids, because they've been in this case, we think, infected either by a virus or perhaps by a signal which is coming through the television. it seems to be sort of sent through television distortion. the film is directed by the guy who is one half of neveldine and taylor, who made films like crank, who are not known for understatement. so, at the very beginning of the film, it starts as a kind

of standard thing, a mother and father and they're resentful of their children's freedoms but they're also very protective. and then this strange, horrific outbreak happens, and the parents turn on their children, but also at the same time remain weirdly, satirically protective. here's a clip. it's not what you think, mr ryan. what are you doing in my house? is my daughter here? carly? joshua? is that dad? iwant dad. we need to leave god damn it. i want to get my backpack. why? fine just get it. we need to talk. 0h, do we need to talk? yeah, we do need to talk you can't be hit. it's not about me and carly, it's about what's happening. i get exactly...what‘s happening. it's called hormones. now, this is one of those films in which nic cage goes full nic cage. there is a sequence in which he attacks a pool table,

and it ranks alongside, you know, nic cage's craziest moments. the reason it works is this. if you have a horror film like this, it has to have a central truth at the heart of it. and the central truth is, these parents basically resent the fact that they — they were once young, crazy, free—spirited, nic cage and some kind of... and now their lives have changed, because they've dedicated themselves to looking after the children. so, although what happens is a sort of supernatural manifestation, it's sort of clawing away at that idea that these resentments are actually real things. it's a really odd film, it's definitely not for everybody. it's very taboo—breaking. it's dealing with a very taboo issue, which is parents turning on children. we've seen plenty of movies with scary children, you know, whether it's village of the dammed, or the excorcist. this is the other way round. and it works, up to a point. it's completely bonkers. there are several moments in it when you think, this is just preposterous. but it works because it's got a central core idea, and it's not afraid, you know,

to over—crank itself. and i enjoyed it, but i was very aware after watching it, i'm enjoying it as a horrorfan. it's not for everybody. well, i can imagine as a parent you might find it pretty uncomfortable kind of viewing. yeah, and the moments that it works the best are exactly those moments, when it taps into the idea that this is outrageous, this is terrible, but it's tapping into a sort of parental resentment idea, which is a very, very taboo idea. so it's, you know, as i said, not for everybody, but if you're a horrorfan, if you like films like teeth, if you like films like american mary, if you like offbeat, strange, quirky american horror movies, that dare to go into fairly dark places, then i think it's an interesting film. and it is genuinely horrifying, is it? it's genuinely satirically nasty, which is slightly different. 0k. all right, i think we get the distinction. you're not going, i can tell. i'm not going, you're absolutely right! what is best out at the moment? fantastic woman, which just won to the oscar for best foreign language film, is a wonderful story about a transgender woman who finds

herself shut out of her life when her lover dies and the family descend. it has a brilliant performance by daniela vega, who is just wonderful, really mesmerising, a great screen presence and really carries the movie. sebastian lelio, who directed it, i think does a wonderfuljob of mixing on the one hand, you know, realist, gritty story elements with moments of fantasy. at one point it turns into a sort of musicalfantasia, in which she levitates. there's another moment when she's walking down the street and the wind is blowing, and it's almost like a supernatural wind. and the film is about, you know, finding your identity, finding your place, asserting your name, you know, saying, "i am marina, this is who i am." i've seen it a few times now, and every time i've seen i've seen more in it. it's really well worth watching, and it was a deserved oscar winner. so, your recommendation? absolutely. all right, and the best dvd? killing of a sacred deer. killing of a sacred deer is the new film by yorgos lanthimos. it's interesting because it was at cannes the same time the lynne ramsay film was at cannes,

and they shared the prize for best screenwriting. this is a very, very odd story about a medic who has a secret in his past. it starts off looking like it's a kind of strange social satire, and then it turns into a full—blooded horror movie. it's more horrifying than anything that's in mom and dad. i mean, it's genuinely disturbing at the end. but it's a film, again, in which it's all to do with the way in which the story is told, rather than the story itself. it makes a very, very interesting double bill with the lynne ramsay movie, and i don't want to say it again but the lynne ramsay movie, everybody has to go and see. there is quite a lot around which blurs horror and social satire. horror is in a fantastic period at the moment. horror is in a period in which it doesn't look like a single genre. we are seeing horror inflecting a whole lot of other areas, and obviously... that was my i grew up on horror movies. get out is a movie i absolutely love — if you call that a horror movie. it is absolutely a horror movie. and people started saying it wasn't a horror movie when it got nominated for 05cars, because that's always

the thing which scares people off. but it is a horror movie, it's in the tradition of ira levin, but it's also a social satire, it has elements of comedy in it. you know, horror can inflect absolutely everything. it is the genre to end all genres. well, it's your favourite genre. it is, absolutely. fair enough. mark, thank you very much indeed. thank you. just a quick reminder before you go that you will find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer as well. but that is it for this week. thank you very much for watching, and from us, goodbye. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. traces of a nerve agent which was used to attack a former russian spy and his daughter in salisbury have been found in the italian restaurant where they had eaten. the substance was found in one part of the city's

zizzi restaurant during a forensic examination. sergei skripal and his daughter yulia were found collapsed ona daughter yulia were found collapsed on a bench nearby and remained critically ill in hospital. home secretary amber rudd says the government is using enormous resources to try to identify those responsible. the water regulator is to identify why thousands of homes in england and wales suffered shortages or a total loss of supply following the recent cold weather. 0fwat‘s review follows emergency handouts of water for people who work at. they will look at how well firms communicated with customers and if compensation levels are adequate. president trump has told crowds at an election rally in pennsylvania that his proposed meeting with the north korean leader kim jong—un could lead to the "greatest deal for the world." during a wide—ranging speech, the american leader warned europe about more possible tariffs, and also launched his slogan for re—election in 2020. more measures to cut the use of plastics will be announced by the chancellor in the coming days. philip hammond will use his spring statement on tuesday to announce plans for a public consultation

into taxing plastic waste. the government's target is to eliminate avoidable plastic waste, by 2042. a police investigation has been launched after anti—muslim letters were sent to a number of people in several cities. the letters were delivered to addresses in bradford, leicester, london, cardiff and sheffield. they contained suggestions of a series of violent acts to be taken against muslims and mosques. counter—terrorism police say they're investigating a possible hate crime. china's parliament, the national people's congress, is expected to approve a ruling today which would remove the two term limits for the country's residency. the move will allow xijinping to country's residency. the move will allow xi jinping to stay in office beyond the end of his second term in 2023. it could mean he could possibly rule indefinitely. the limit was brought in more than 30 yea rs limit was brought in more than 30 years ago. internet censors have deleted critical comments on social

media platforms. time to talk about sport, and i think if you are an island fan, you might have a bit of a sore head this morning. —— ireland. might have a bit of a sore head this morning. -- ireland. ithink so, yes. it is justified. morning. -- ireland. ithink so, yes. it isjustified. completely justified. winning it with a game to spare. they beat scotland by 28 points, to eight. a comfortable victory, a bonus point victory. that meant england needed a bonus point victory against the french in paris, but that didn't happen. so island are the well—deserved champions. —— ireland. so the six nations championship has been decided with a game to spare. but of course the match between england and ireland next week still has a lot riding on it. ireland will want to go unbeaten in the tournament to complete the grand slam. and asjoe wilson reports, it was a monumental occasion in dublin. the six nations was supposed to be settled next weekend, wasn't it? well, why wait. seize the moment on saturday night. the irish! in

dublin, confidence flowed from the moment scotland's misfiring attacking gave the ball to jacob stockdale. he has been the finisher for so much of ireland's could work in this six nations. before half—time he had his second try. a third for ireland soon followed. here, the move was finished, blacking horn. nice. these significant dive to the line came from sean cronin. beautiful in its own way, because it meant ireland had a bonus point to go with their wind. well, everyone was keen to get an image of sean cronin and family. a great story for ireland here in dublin. what nobody knew at the final whistle here was how things would turn out in paris. england needed four tries against france to keepin needed four tries against france to keep in step with ireland, but never looked near it. this high tackle and defence led to a penalty try to france. england conceded penalties throughout the match. ran into the french defence throughout the match. when they finally found their way to

the line, it was too late. you don't have power, you don't have momentum. france suddenly have both. and ireland had it all tournament. we know the biggest challenge is ahead still. it is very muted upstairs, very strange to win the championship with a game to go and so much still to play for. islands get their own chance to beat england next weekend. —— ireland. england women's hopes of a second successive six nations title took a major blow as they lost 18—17 to france. both sides were unbeaten going into the match, butjessy tremouliere's dramatic late try inflicted england's first defeat. france are now four points clear at the top of the table with one game to play. west ham united have launched an inquiry after supporters invaded the pitch during yesterday's 3—0 defeat at home to burnley. the game had to be stopped a number of times due to members of the crowd invading the pitch to protest against the club's owners. burnley weren't distacted by the turmoil, and went on to win comfortably by 3 goals to nil,

but the west ham protests continued after the game and both the club and the fa say they will investigate. the atmosphere was horrible. 0bviously the atmosphere was horrible. obviously we have had fans running on the pitch, and we know, to be honest, we know a lot of its isn't aimed at the players. it is for other reasons. but we have to be many enough to be able to play in that atmosphere. it is hard, don't get me wrong. manchester united have opened up a 5—point lead in the race for 2nd place in the premier league after they beat liverpool 2—1 at old trafford yesterday. striker marcus rashford scored both of his sides goals in the first half. a fantastic first effort before a deflected shot put united out of reach. west bromwich albion are still firmly bottom of the table after a 4—1 defeat at home to leicester city. the result means the pressue
