to defeat for their nearest rivals, and while their manager was on the golf course. manchester united lost 1-0 to golf course. manchester united lost 1—0 to west brom, handing city the title with five games to spare. this is how much of the day's steve wilson described the moment. west bromwich albion have beaten manchester united, and manchester city are the champions of the premier league. what an upset. what a result for west broner jargon. premier league. what an upset. what a result for west bronerjargon. out of the blue. jay rodriguez with the only goal of the game, one of the most unexpected results of the season, confirms what we have all expected for a very long time. manchester city are champions. manchester city are champions. manchester united are beaten today. it is manchester united 0—1 westbridge albion. and in the pouring rain as well.

john is alongside me. we have been following this, and for the last 2a hours, we didn't think this would happen because it is united at home to west brom, and yet manchester united have handed manchester city the title. i think the longest it stayed goalwards, that was the worst fear from unjust united fans, but a lot of people predicted would be co mforta ble lot of people predicted would be comfortable for united. the beat city last weekend when city could have wrapped up the title on their own patch was that they fail to do so. own patch was that they fail to do so. man utd one thanks to those two paul pogba goals. so it was most unthinkable manchester united would lose to west brom is, such has been their fortune this season. but jay rodriguez, that key goal that handed manchester city the title in the end, as manchester united could not find a way past west brom. surprising, because west brom before this point had only managed three win ibbo mandaza all season. united could not come back into it. even as manchester united had drawn, it was

still virtually mathematically impossible for when chester city to be caught. they needed a win, but just could not muster it. city would win the' enjoy winning against united. forjose mourinho, it will be interesting to see what he has to say. this is the thoughts ofjose mourinho the match. i was the first, because i knew it. i knew it. grey hair, lots of years in the top competitions. of course, i knew it. they were the best team. sooner or later they were going to get the... going to get the points. no dramas when the best team wins the league. no dramas. perhaps a few dramas in a few city players' households. we will be reflecting over the next few weeks and manchester city's season, but a first chance to see how incredible

it has been, both statistically but also stylistically as well. yes, they have been the runaway leaders. worth pointing out they were going through something of a blip with three defeats in six days, being knocked out of the champions league by liverpool, and then losing to manchester united in the league last weekend. but they bounced back against tottenham with that impressive win at wembley. dominant throughout. tottenham failed to get into the game. and i think pep guardiola at that point was predicting he would be winning the title at their next match, which was against swansea at home. i think he was looking forward to big celebrations at the etihad wrapping up celebrations at the etihad wrapping up victory against swansea. it was inevitable they would win the title just a case of when. but i don't think anybody predicted that would come today following manchester united's defeat to west brom. that first half in particular at wembley will give you a snapshot of what manchester city working the ball of the season. we won't get official

reaction from city for the next couple of hours, but we have had thoughts from some of the players. these are the social media offerings so these are the social media offerings so far. but briefly, this is an extremely occasion for manchester city, there isa occasion for manchester city, there is a sense that they need to cash in on the moment, pep guardiola, this incredible investment that is come via the ownership. winning the league is most the benchmark they set for themselves at the very least it season. absolutely. what they wa nted it season. absolutely. what they wanted to achieve is the way they would win. we know they have had success would win. we know they have had success in the past, but what pep guardiola brought was that style of

play, the success he had enjoyed at barcelona. play, the success he had enjoyed at ba rcelo na . su ccess play, the success he had enjoyed at barcelona. success was play, the success he had enjoyed at barcelona. success was the least they expected, that investment that has come when the new owners took overin has come when the new owners took over in 2008, but what they wanted to bring was the style of play and the way the win. and they have been the way the win. and they have been the runaway leaders the road i have brought that the season. worth pointing out they hold the record for the most number of points after 33 matches, with five matches remaining, i think they will go on a great many more records, certainly surpassing the points record chelsea held, they should surpass the record for number of goals scored and also the record for number of wins in a premier league season. a lot of people saying this is the best premier league team we have ever seen, comparable perhaps to the manchester united team that did the treble in the 1999 season. they were on course for the quadruple, not out of the cup, yes disappointed in the champions league, but success in that room will come. the trophy is

in the bag and out across the records for the rest of the season. we hope to have shaun goater on the sofa at 734 stop join us for that. arsenal may be through to the last four of the europa league but in the leafy are in danger of not even finishing in the top six. they lost 2-1 at finishing in the top six. they lost 2—1 at newcastle, who moves 13 points clear of the relegation zone. some newcastle fans have seen it all. victories against arsenal have fewer witnesses than most, ten years since last win over the gunners, so perhaps little deja vu when this ci’oss was converted . perhaps little deja vu when this cross was converted. one goal down, then something new castle fans have not seen often enough, a fiery response. such clinicalfinishing has deserted arsenal away from home in 2018, yet to even pick up a point. the workrate and intensity

that arsenal could not match four stop matt ritchie show them just where the goal was tom in his last four at st james's park. just how rafa plundered 7 —— four at st james's park. just how rafa plundered? —— had planned it. he deserve it win takes newcastle above that cherished 40 point mark, but for arsenal a feeling that has become all too familiar. arsenal has reached their 16th women's fa cup final after they beat everton ladies 2—1 in a dramatic semifinal was afternoon. they will face chelsea who beat manchester city. we now know which two teams will face off in the fa cup final on may the 5th at wembley. here at kings meadow chelsea were comfortable 2—0 winners over manchester city. confident finishes, going one—on—one

against the keeper. chelsea to their third fa cup final in four years. against the keeper. chelsea to their third fa cup final in four yearsm is massive, we have been preparing for this game for a long time since the draw. the crowd got behind us, and luckily we got the win and can go to wembley. it is 2015 champions chelsea who go through to the final where they will face multiple winners arsenal who squeezed past everton 2—1 with a goal in extra time. dan carter had that arsenal in front before chloe kelley equalised for the home side from the penalty spot. but then up what louise quinn with the header in the 91st minute to break everton hearts. we have got to break everton hearts. we have got to carry that on. the history of this club is amazing, we are going into that final, and we will go further when, bringing back into that final, and we will go furtherwhen, bringing back more silverware. saturday, may five, 2018 at wembley, the women's fa cup final, between chelsea and arsenal. but if you cannot make it to london,

we'll have full coverage of the match on bbc tv and across bbc radio as well. celtic edge closer to back—to—back domestic troubles after thrashing old firm rivals rangers in the scottish cup semifinal. a little over 20 minutes of pass before the holders were in front at hampden park thanks to tom rogic, as celtic had entered to extend their unbeaten run against rangers to ten matches. they continued to dominate and callu m they continued to dominate and callum mcgregor added a deserve a second before half—time. he added a third when moussa dembele tucked away penalty. rangers were down to ten men at that stage, and then it was made forfrom ten men at that stage, and then it was made for from 12 yards. the next phase motherwell who beat in the late cup final in november. an historic final day at the commonwealth games with england's net bowlers pulling off their biggest win, shocking australia to ta ke biggest win, shocking australia to take the title, and just as they did in the semifinal yesterday, victory came in the most, fashion. with more

ona came in the most, fashion. with more on a momentous last morning, he was mike bushell. the closing ceremony may have finished, and the bat on hand to birmingham forfour finished, and the bat on hand to birmingham for four years' time, finished, and the bat on hand to birmingham forfour years' time, but the party is still going onjust birmingham forfour years' time, but the party is still going on just off broad beach to stop they are certainly celebrating it very successful commonwealth games for the austrians and the gold coast, so much so that there is talk year of bidding for the olympics in 2032. but it has also been a dramatic final day, a fitting way to end these games. the pain and agony for scotla nd these games. the pain and agony for scotland in the men's marathon, and then the most incredible of finishes for england's net borrowers, taking on the hosts, australia, the world champions, in their first ever major final. never before had england reached it, games final, never winning more than a bronze, and yet a last—gasp goal,

england's roses bloomed at the last buzzer. they have made history x might be have snatched the gold medalfrom might be have snatched the gold medal from australia. quite simply the greatest result in their history, and a win to be right record books. it is my dream come true. the girls worked so hard over the last international phase. they we re the last international phase. they were against the world number one, they are announced, we have not eaten them once in the whole cycle, and beat them at that time is just you bend is. i'm really proud. imagine how proud the adcocks hard. the husband—and—wife combination of chris and gabby, the reigning champions defending their title in the mixed badminton at beating team—mates marcus ellis and lauren smith. but it has not been alljoy for the home nations down under. take this for example. scotland's calum hawkins, leading the marathon with only a mile to go, only for exhaustion to cruelly robbed of

victory in the 30 degrees heat. the fa ct victory in the 30 degrees heat. the fact it took several minutes for medical help to arrive has led to criticism of the organisers. another scotsman, robbie simpson, was able to make the podium. he battled through to bronze in the searing temperatures. and that said, the final day of the commonwealth games is over. the gold coast may be more than 10,000 miles away, but it has been a home from home for the home nations. looking back and looking at the medals table, reasons for everybody to be cheerful. the australians are happy they topped the table and like four years ago when they were second behind england. they wanted to get more gold medals than all the home teams put together and they did that, but scotland and wales can celebrate their best ever away commonwealth games, and england will be happy with second and 45 gold medals, especially with that one in the netball to things. and then throwing northern ireland new pommel

horse champion, and a silver medal for the isle of man, and most of the home teams go back with something. now the battle is passed to birmingham, and in four years' time the 22nd commonwealth games in 2022. daniel ricciardo, what a chaotic grand prix, after his team—mate crashed into a title contender for a second straight week after an incident involving lewis hamilton last week, this time max verstappen hit the championship leader sebastian vettel who could only finish eighth in the end. a penalty saw lewis hamilton claim for us to reduce sebastian vettel‘s lead, while ricciardo pulled off some stunning overtakes to move into first and claim his first win of the season. just a reminder, manchester city are premier league champions of 2017 — 2018 after manchester united lost at home to west brom this afternoon. much more on sportsday in the next hour. join us from 7:30 p:m.. bye

for now. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, jason sullivans is with me. jason, what have you been watching this week? jane, this week we go to chicago, where an angry ape is on the rampage and the gorilla does not look too happy about it either. let's find out why the rampage is based on the rock, dwaynejohnson‘s star power. we buckle up for a french tension of the highest order, custody, it's about a bitter divorce and a father and son trying to reconnect, but can they?

and our thoughts turn skyward for the titan, a secret mission to populate one of saturn's moons with human life. quite a mixed bag. rampage, what do you make of that? this is a monster movie mashup of every monster movie you've ever seen before. think king kong gorilla, thinkjumanji because it's got the rock in it, or dwayne johnson as we must now call him. it's got alligators, that are genetically mutated into something enormous. this is a monster movie, yes, but it's also a disaster movie because it's got all the world exploding and things going wrong. it's about a space experiment that's gone terribly wrong, as they tend to do, so don't do any experiments in space. don't try this at home. yes, genetically modified pathogens fall to earth in wyoming, and the everglades where one is swallowed by an alligator, and in the san diego zoo gorilla sanctuary where former special ops secret servicemen dwaynejohnson is now working as a primatologist. is he now?

yes. it all goes wrong and he has to end up running around with a scientist played by naomi harris who gets her gets her moneypenny on and starts bantering with him like she's in a bond movie. how the hell do we get off of this roof? maybe we don't have to get off the roof. what? we definitely do. come on, come on. david, there is no tail on this helicopter. that's right, we don't need one. you do if you want to fly. we're not going to fly, we're going to crash. what?! we just need to get enough lift to stay on top of the building as it falls. you know, just like riding an avalanche. no, i don't know. ok, i'm never getting in a plane with him, i've established that much. i wouldn't get in one with her either.

she is bad luck, that one. this is what happens when you get an oscar nomination. you get to run around with the rock. clearly, because naomi harris, last seen in moonstruck. moonlight, even. that would be perfect for her as well. is itfun? it is deliriously fun. it could be awful, you never know with the rock. it could be a bad film or a great film. the thing is he's become the biggest movie star in the world right now and he pulled this movie single—handedly like hercules would with a blockbuster on his back all the way over the line. it is deliriously silly. he can play charades with the gorilla here. i think it is three words, book, war film, tv, and peace, clearly, he's got that softness to him. i don't know what to make of this. it really, really works. the gorilla kind of eats the pathogen, goes outside becomes king kong, takes out chicago. it has stupid lines like "we've got to get to chicago before the alligator and the wolf level the city." but it works. oh, my god. it somehow works. mainly because of the rock's star

power, mainly because of its preposterousness and maybe because like very good monster movies, all the way back to godzilla somehow it is about man's folly. it's about american id run wild, it's about metaphor, it's about consumerism and greed, scientific experiments gone wrong, which one is trump, which one is putin? i don't know. it'd take the rock to sort them out. and he does it brilliantly. this is what saturday night at the movies is all about. you go and see this, you come out thinking i'm so glad i spent my money on this. i'm so glad i'm with my mates or my dates. this is what it's all about and i guarantee you a strong hit rate if you recommend this to your friends. 0k. i'm not sure about it as a date film, but anyway. i willjust take your word for that, jason. having said that i'm not sure, striking though it looks, that the next film is a date film at all. no. that looks like a very, very tough watch. it's the bad result of a date movie, this is about a custody battle, a bitter divorce gone wrong. it's a french movie called custody starring an

actor who you may remember was the father in the opening scene of quentin tarantino's inglorious basterds, where he was the father protecting his family in one of the best scenes tarantino has ever done. he protected his family there under the threat from the ss officer. here he is the father again providing the threat himself. he plays a father who's been awarded custody of his 12—year—old son played by that young actor. the son is petrified of his father. he can't seem to tell the courts why and they will not listen because the father has a right to see the kid and the mother has to share everything. it is a very strange award from the court that he's managed to charmingly flirt his way to, and here we see the son absolutely petrified. i've never really seen a scene like this before as a father to a young child as well. this was awfully tense as well. the threat that he brings here, every time he pops up or every time he sends a text message, he can ruin the family atmosphere, just the threat of this father.

while we never see what domestic terrorism or abuse, it's clearly got this terrible effect on the family, but it plays out like a thriller, almost like a sort of serial killer movie in a way. it reminded me slightly of fatal attraction, but in a very french, realistic way. i thought it was very, very tense. i don't know when you would go to see this at the cinema. not a date movie, but very, very well performed by all, in particular the kid who is outstanding in this. ok, a tough watch but domestic violence an important topic, but it depends. we see the effect of violence, the dread of that and that's what makes it all the more powerful. very, very different third choice. absolutely. it's a rich and diverse palette here. this is a netflix film called the titan, also out on the big screen as well. it is out on netflix and probably playing somewhere in space as well because it's about a mission, secret mission run by tom wilkinson to populate saturn's moon. earth is...

in 2048, there is no water left, there's too many people. we need to populate another planet and the only one we can do is saturn's moon titan which isjust like earth but a lot colder. a bit like aberdeen. i am saying nothing. they have to genetically modify people again. we see genetic modification. theme of the week. they genetically modify sam worthington, a group of top gun applicants who all undergo these experiments and they try to lower their body temperature so all they can do is feel really hot or really cold on earth, even when they turn the air conditioning up, which makes them a prime candidate to take the ice bucket challenge with their wife at midnight. go on.

i don't want to put my hands in there. go on, i want to show you something. geez! fine. now what? i don't feel any cold. i feel cold just watching that scene. you don't want those clammy hands on you, do you? he said he didn't feel any cold, i didn't feel anything watching this movie at all. he gets colder and colder and eventually they sort of turn into

fish, which there is a lot of that going on these days with the shape of water. isn't there? a theme of inter—species romances going on. i think it is an interesting movie, i think it's an interesting idea. you have a sci—fi that does not become a sci—fi, there are no ships leaving earth. it is all here, done in gran canaria, a sort of moon—like rock in the atlantic ocean. there's an interesting experiment and it's a netflix movie, so it got sort of a spanish actor and a german actor and a mexican actor. it has taylor schilling playing the wife, who's a big netflix star, and sam worthington there and tom wilkinson is the general in charge of this experiment. you've got to have a brit. yes. a brit in charge. he looks really, sort of, distasteful in the script as if an offence to a man who should be playing king lear by now. yes, frankly. it does not really work. it's not fun in the way that rampage is. no, it does not have a sense

of its own absurdity. you have to bring that yourself. there is plenty of room for laughing at it, itjust does not want you to. not in the right way. in terms of best out, a film that we did not get a chance to talk about on the film review a couple of weeks ago, and you have chosen something really interesting. yes, this is i think one of the films of the year. i'm very surprised it did not win at cannes last year with the announcement of that coming out this week as well. it is called 120 bpm in english. and it's about the havoc wrought by the aids virus in ‘90s paris and an activist group which is a real life story, and their bid to get recognised and get help for their dying community. it is a gay film about the gay community, it does feature some sort of fairly, not graphic, but i would say blunt gay relationships. gay sex. as you would expect in a film about aids, but it was so extraordinarily realistic.

i felt as if i was watching a documentary and that is not a criticism, but an observation. that is how real it felt. the director was part of the group at the time. and what's great about the film, the very details of how it works, in the meetings they all click their fingers rather than protest. it is about the urgency of a community facing death and not being heard, really. yes, it has gay sex but it has love in it, too. it has outstanding club scenes as well when it's about this joy of life, fear of death and how to face it and the relationships forged in that adversity, and they are very real and very real memories for many people as well. i think it's a tremendously important film, not a self—important film, a joyous film and really one of the most important and interesting of the year. very important and the dvd briefly inspired by a real event that people, everyone will remember as well, the boston marathon bombing. yes, in 2013. the real—life story of a man whose legs were blown off at the finish line, but who recognised one of the bombers and led police to solve that case. he's played brilliantly

byjake gyllenhaal in a performance everyone was oscar tipping and for some reason he did not get that nomination and the film fell by the wayside. it's much better than that, he's tremendous in it as he always is, very reliable and helps it all the way through. very interesting film about victims. an interesting mixed bag. good to see you, thank you very much indeed for being with us. that is it for this week. enjoy your cinema going, whatever you decide to go see. bye— bye. after a cold start it was a sunny sunday for the far north of scotland. but not the case elsewhere, lots of cloud and rain coming up from the south west. this will move north and east overnight, into northern ireland, north—west england and scotland, affirmative cloud preventing temperatures from falling too low, nevertheless a damp start to monday morning. overnight

lows of around five. quite a quiet start to the working week. the cloud should break up. sunny spells coming through, and highest values of 11-15. through, and highest values of 11—15. winds will strengthen through the afternoon, the arrival of rain, gale —force the afternoon, the arrival of rain, gale—force winds and wet weather spelling through northern ireland and scotland over tuesday. once that clears away, as we move through the week temperatures are set to climb. we could see temperatures of 25 by the end of the week. super and sunny for all. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7: the us threatens more air strikes in syria, and prepares for new sanctions against russia. the government say it has no plans for further air strikes on syria —

amid deep divisions with opposition parties over syria. ican i can only think of involvement if there is un backing. there is only one thing to do, to deter the use of chemical weapons notjust one thing to do, to deter the use of chemical weapons not just by one thing to do, to deter the use of chemical weapons notjust by the assad regime, but around the world. one week on from the alleged chemical attack — we speak to one of the children caught up in the fighting in douma
