the headlines this evening. seven in succession for celtic. it's yet another premiership title for them as they put five past past old firm rivals rangers. simply too good. lyon beat manchester city in the champions league semi—final. and a first win of the season for lewis hamilton. everything goes his way in baku at the ajerbaijan grand prix. celtic have won the scottish premiership title for the seventh year in a row after thrashing rangers 5—0 at celtic park. the victory means that
6:35 pm
if celtic beat motherwell in the scottish cup final they will win the treble for the second consecutive season. chris mchlaughlan was at today's match. yes, the celtic fans will celebrate long into the night, and well they might. they watched their team absolutely demolish their rivals here in the east end of glasgow this afternoon. it was 5—0, going on ten, to be honest. two goals from odds and eduard was james forrest, tomovic and callum mcgregor also getting on the scoresheet. celtic‘s seventh consecutive title was never really in doubt for most of the season but it was all the sweeter to flinch at in front of their rivals, who looked all over the place to be honest. a victory now in the scottish cup final will see brendan rodgers's side complete the double treble. as for rangers, they are on the verge of securing steven gerrard
6:36 pm
as their latest manager. a penny for his thoughts had he was watching today but the celtic, more celebrations, something they are getting very used to. brilliant, best feeling in the world. come on the celtic! dreams come true, i couldn't sleep last night, always get nervous for these games but no need to be nervous, absolutely magical. absolutely incredible, my third old firm at celtic park. brendan rodgers has done a marvellousjob and brendan rodgers has done a marvellous job and i brendan rodgers has done a marvellousjob and i hope he is here to help you get ten in a row, do you know what you mean? fantastic! manchester city, already premier league champions, show no signs of slowing down as the end of the season approaches. they won 4—1 at west ham — a result which leaves the hammers only three points above the relegation zone. city were dominant throughout. after leroy sane scored city's first after 13 minutes, an own goal gave city put the visitors 2—0 up. aaron cresswell did give west ham some hopejust before half—time but that was shortlived. city scored two more in the second half. the final one of the afternoon,
6:37 pm
scored by fernandinho, was their 102nd of the season — one short of chelsea's premier league record. records always sooner or later will be broken, but the guys who want to break those records, they have to play good and fight a lot. but the way we have played this season, and all must all games, was fantastic, so that is why it is a big compliment to the team, to focus, playing good, and respect for the competition, our opponents, to play the way we want to play. arsene wenger‘s final visit to old trafford as arsenal manager ended in the same way as many of his previous trips there — defeat. manchester united scored an injury time winner. 2—1 was the score. it's a result that guarantees united a top four finish this season. adam wild reports. when arsene wenger looks back on his extraordinary arsenal career, it may
6:38 pm
well be the visits to old trafford that provide some of the more vivid memories. honoured today by both clu bs, memories. honoured today by both clubs, a testament to a rivalry few could forget. it is one that in deals, even this act did not have the significant previous meetings, united seemed unable to be stifled by sentimentality, paul pogba with the opening goal. things could have got worse for arsenal before the break. ashley young hitting the break, much to seemingly everyone's surprise. but if the underlying theme of the occasion was reflecting on the past, henrik mkhitaryan, want a united player, was keen to play his part. but like the end of all good footballing stories, there was a final twist. marouane fellaini winning it for united. after all the memorable old trafford moments during his long reign, arsene wenger‘s final one, perhaps, would be remembered as one of them. chris coleman has been released from his contract as sunderland manager, and the club's owner has announced
6:39 pm
that he's agreed a takeover deal. coleman joined the club last november, but was unable to stop them going down to league one — a second successive relegation. owner ellis short says he's agreed a deal to sell the club to an ‘international consortium of football investors. it's led by the eastleigh chairman stewart donald, and will buy sunderland subject to efl approval. manchester city women are out of the champions league, after being outclassed by lyon in the second leg of their semi—final. after a goalless first leg in manchester, city had travelled to france hopeful of causing an upset, but the i—0 scoreline doesn't do justice to lyon's dominance. jo currie was there for us. so manchester city council at night for a champions league final must continue. heartbreak here again as for the second year running, manchester city have found themselves knocked out in the last four by leon. the tie poised at 0—0,
6:40 pm
city only needed a score draw to progress and found themselves under wave after wave of attack early on. then a finish worthy of the occasion against herformer side. city then a finish worthy of the occasion against her former side. city failed to create any opportunities of their own. at the break they were down but not out, knowing a goal would still see them through. but the second half followed a similar pattern to the first, city defending heavily while offering little going forward, with the defending champions desperately searching for the second goal that would secure the victory. but in the end it wasn't needed. bronte's goal proving enough to send lyon through as they look to secure a fifth european title. for city, back to the drawing board. the result means manchester city's
6:41 pm
european dream is in tatters, and also after defeats in the leak out and the fa cup, the league title, now the only competition they can win, as they desperately avoid a trophy this season. today i thought again defensively we were superb that we could not manage to create a moment like they did. fair play to lucy, putting that in the back of the net, she scores a view wonder goals. i was hoping she would get one against us but i am proud of other girls and the team. we are the young inexperienced team but we give it everything over two legs. chelsea ladies too, were knocked out after losing 5—1 on aggregate to wolfsburg. the german side beat chelsea 2—0 this afternoon. so wolfsburg will face lyon in the final in kiev. formula 1, lewis hamilton leads the formula one world championship after winning the azerbaijan grand prix, his first victory of the season. it was a win gifted to him in large part due to a collision between the two red bulls and a puncture for his teammate
6:42 pm
valteri bottas, who had looked on course to win the race. joe lynskey reports on an action packed gran prix in baku. in baku, the waters are calm, but the streets are chaotic. behind the leaders at the start line, a congestion fight. when it is this narrow, slight touches cause big problems. trying to dodge the debrief left a few cars in a mess. away from the trouble, lewis hamilton made his own problems. he called his early race untidy, but this grand prix changed with a collision. two drivers on the same red bull team falling out at top speed. the crash took seven laps to clear, so when the race restarted, they were all bunched together. in they were all bunched together. in the sprint finish, the red sebastien vettel lost his way, so next to take the lead was valtteri bottas, but his dream, like his tyre, was left in tatters. the worst time possible
6:43 pm
to get a puncture. that left a simple over take for his mercedes team—mate. for hamilton, this was a win that fell into his lap. victory claimed in for charity, and his first of the season. really quite an emotional race to be honest, valtteri did such an exceptionaljob honest, valtteri did such an exceptional job today and honest, valtteri did such an exceptionaljob today and ready deserve to have the win. also sebastien vettel a greatjob. i think i was ready fortunate today, so it feels a little bit odd to be appear that i have got to take it. i didn't give up, i kept pushing, but and untidy race me. in rugby union, wasps secured a play—off spot and climbed to third—place after a 36—29 win over northampton. christian wade opened the scoring for wasps, before adding a second — his 12th try of the season. saints responded through mitchell and tuala but fell short, as wasps sealed a bonus point win. in the day's other game — london irish, who's relegation to the championship was confirmed yesterday, were thrashed 51—14 by saracens — a result that guarantees saracens a home
6:44 pm
semi—final in the play offs. britain's chris and gabby adcock have defended their european badminton title with a closely—fought victory over the danish seconds seeds. the adcocks, recently crowned commonwealth games champions, beat mathias christiansen and christinna pedersen by two sets to one — taking the decider 21—18, in a match that lasted 66 minutes. they are the first english duo to defend a european title successfully for 32 years. at the world snooker championship, four—time winner john higgins has booked his place in the quarterfinals. it could hardly have been easierfor him, cruising through against jack lisowski 13 frames to i. higgins made three centuries, including a magnificent 146 break, the highest of this year's competition so far. delighted. that's my highest break ever here at the crucible. i think my highest before was 142 or 43. so
6:45 pm
it was a good break, good break. i don't know if big ryan day will think that way, coventry went one point in front of him. there could very well be a maximum break here, soiam very well be a maximum break here, so i am not counting my chickens yet. but it is a good break. i did not expect such a tough game but this place can do it. in one of my sessions with stephen hendry i lost 7-1 sessions with stephen hendry i lost 7—1 was exactly the same. the harder jack was trying, i think the worst it was getting to him. in the morning session, former finalistjudd trump took on ricky waldon. trump was trailing 3 frames to one, but recovered and then won the final frame of the morning session to level at 4—all. they will resume play at 7 o'clock this evening. as will anotherformer finalist — ding junhui. he won all 8 frames against anthony mcgill this morning. it's best of 25 frames for a place in the quarterfinals. that's all from sportsday. now it is time for the film review.
6:46 pm
hello and welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases is who else but mark kermode? what have you got far as this week? millar very interesting week. we have beast, a psychological thriller set on jersey. avengers: infinity war, the latest in the mcu series, and the womb, a coming—of—age story with a different was that i like the son of
6:47 pm
beast. i really like the film itself, said in jersey, beast. i really like the film itself, said injersey, essential performance who plays a young woman called mole, a domineering mother played with a hint of anxiety, as if she is somehow frightened by her daughters. letting her. our heroine meets this young man called pascal, who is a woodsman, a wild character, and a midget leave the family take against him. plus the rest of the community are very suspicious, but she falls in love with him and he sparks in her a rebellious spirit that has hitherto been kept under wraps. here's a clip. i am sorry, genes are not allowed in the clubhouse. but they are black jeans! sorry.
6:48 pm
i would like to make a toast. to my family. for everything you have done for me. i forgive you. get out! what i really like about this film, you can see the palpable tension, secondly what happens is, there has been a string of murders on the island and the finger of suspicion sta rts island and the finger of suspicion starts to point towards pascal. his character believes he is completely innocent but is it because she is in love with him, because he is manipulative and leading her straight, or is it because she has
6:49 pm
toxic written her own past? the best way of describing this, it is kind of like a twisted fairy tale. the title alludes to beauty and the beast on the one hand, do think there is an echo of a film from 1975, the beast, banned for ages in this country. there is a film by francois luzon, called see the sea, which does this weird thing about bread, sunlit coastal setting, but dark murderous underbelly. it has all those things mixed together, and the best thing about it is you are kept guessing all the way through as to the characters's motives. which one of them is the monster? the title beast is not specifically applied to any of them. it really manages that knife's age balance, every difficult trick to pull off. usually by the second act of the film you know where you are. this manages it all the way through, partly because the two central performances are brilliant. yes, the chemistry. people talk about
6:50 pm
chemistry. people talk about chemistry on—screen. also it is really well written and directed, a debut feature. michael pierce has done a brilliantjob of absolutely keeping the audience on the edge of seat. the serving as it has that timeless fairy tale mythical quality, maybe it is a princess in a tower rescued by a prince, or is he the beast leaving her into the woods. all those questions, and i think it works really well. the jersey exteriors are very good, the interiors are shot largely in surrey, but admits those two worlds together, see get a sense of two worlds colliding. i thought it was terrific, really good, he really exciting film. beast, well worth seeing. avengers: infinity war. iam told there are no fewer than 22 superheroes in this movie. it sounds like a few too many custom everything about the movie is vast. people have said that give away any plot spoilers, we went. the setup is
6:51 pm
that thanos is trying to gather the infinity sons together to wipe out the universe. a group of superheroes need to get together to stop him. everything is huge, from the canvas to the amount of characters to what is at stake, the entire future of the universe, to the running time of the universe, to the running time of the movie itself. that is not a short film, it is a long film, and the mad of money it will doubtless ta ke the mad of money it will doubtless take at the box office. here's the thing, i think if you are a fan of this particular cinematic universe, if you are invested in these characters and have followed them through the series of movie so far, you will really like this. there will be things that will surprise you, things will make you gas and cheer. all of those reactions were evident in the screening i was in. however if you are not particularly invested, and i am not, they are not of great personal resonance for stop you may end up thinking they are very long. very episodic. it bala nces very long. very episodic. it balances light and dark. there is tragedy and comedy although it felt like channel hopping. it does balance light and dark,
6:52 pm
there is tragedy and comedy, although occasionally it felt like channel hopping. there is one section, then another, and they don't intertwine. the film—makers have done a good job ofjuggling disparate elements. the overriding problem for me is one of consequence, which is that i struggled to invest in the most dramatically dangerous moments. i know other people who have watched the movie who did not have that same feeling. i think it comes down to whether or not you are a fan. i'm guessing you're probably not a huge devotee of this series. no — but i do like superhero movies. the film makes very few concessions to people who are not right in the middle of it. if you can't make this movie for the fans, which can you? i thought it was impressive, although i remained unengaged, but i know enough people who are invested in those characters who absolutely loved it and thought it took real risks. we have got to move on to the wound, what is it? a south african drama, a young man is sent by his father to take part in a ritual, which takes place in a remote
6:53 pm
mountain, you have to live in a hut and learn to be a man, an initiation ritual. his father is sending him because he thinks his son is soft, and also because he is starting to have anxieties about his sexuality. here is a clip. so the rest of the film takes place in this encampment where the ritual takes place, and it becomes a film about manhood and initiation and coming of age, what it means to be a man, sexuality, love, what is demanded of you by your elders and society, about honesty and frankness. some people have made the comparison to brokeback mountain, which i understand, although i think it is slightly off the money. the thing ifound interesting was that it evokes a world with which i was completely unfamiliar, and it tells a story which feels universal, and that is a really clever thing to do — a story which is very specific about its setting and its circumstances, and yet it allows every viewer, i think, to recognise universal truths in what is happening. as i said, it is a coming—of—age movie, which is one of the most
6:54 pm
popular of cinematic genres, yet it is taking real risks, doing things that are daring, doing them well, with great honesty, and ifound it very moving, very moving, and it balances realism on the one hand with a timeless quality on the other, almost magical quality, very good. and best out? the old dark house, a reissue of an old film from the 1930s, which was believed lost, it has been restored, and it is really worth seeing, not least because james whale is an extraordinary director. i remember people talking about this as a masterpiece, but it is not in circulation anymore. the thing that it does is it is travellers, they wind up at an old dark house, they shouldn't go in, but they do, the floorboards creak, there are monsters on the loose. what it does is establishes and satirises a number of horror film conventions, and it is a remarkable thing to see it back in cinemas in a spanking new print, so well worth checking out, the old dark house, from the 1930s. and your best dvd?
6:55 pm
hostiles, i really like hostiles, not seen by enough people in the cinemas, a story about an army captain who has to take his arch enemy back to a tribal homeland, brilliant performances, but it has a terrific soundtrack by max richter, which uses an instrument of which there was only one when they made it in the world, and it produces the most unearthly sounds, extraordinary thing, and it is one of those movies... you can watch it with your ears, it is called hostiles, it was not seen enough in cinemas, but i think it is a really impressive piece of work. watch it with your ears, i like that! a quick reminder before we go that you'll 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. that's it for this week, though, thanks for watching, goodbye. hello, we will just
6:56 pm
hello, we willjust focus on the weather across eastern england for a moment because tomorrow will be a thoroughly miserable day. how miserable? wet weather works in, strong winds, gale force around eastern coasts, and it will feel really quite cold for the time of year as well. normally across south—east england we would be expecting temperatures of around 15 degrees this time of year, but tomorrow there will be large trenches of the day when they are struggling around three or four celsius. added to that, also some strong winds that will make it feel colder, so winter coats at the ready. this weekend, the pressure has actually been rising across scotland, and as this area of north
6:57 pm
france low—pressure moves forward, it is that which brings us though strong winds, the wet weather working in across east anglia and south—east england. further north and west meanwhile, clearing skies overnight will allow things to get very chilly once again. some patches of frost, not just very chilly once again. some patches of frost, notjust in the countryside, it might get down to zero or so, around countryside, it might get down to zero orso, around edinburgh countryside, it might get down to zero or so, around edinburgh too. countryside, it might get down to zero orso, around edinburgh too. on monday, those windy conditions with gales around eastern coastal areas and the heavy rain working in as well. this time yesterday, i was suggesting the rain could be a bit further east than we were predicting yesterday, and it is about 100 miles further eastwards now. that trend could continue, so the likely areas to see the heavy rain will be across east anglia and south—east england, some areas will pick up 25 to 80 millimetres of rain, bearing in mind we have a ready have the months worth of rain so far, it will work out to be a very wet month. those temperatures will struggle to rise too. the north—west has sunny spells, temperatures into double
6:58 pm
figures. tuesday, the low—pressure still with us but the rain band will be using and we kidding, the last of the rain clearing out through the morning, and then pressure rises, so a slice of sunshine for scotland, england and wales, then later in the afternoon, the clouds thickened as the next atlantic weather front moves in to bring some afternoon rain. that will push eastward as we go through tuesday evening and overnight, for wednesday it will slowly clear away from eastern england, sunshine will follow, and some showers. we don't need to worry about any snow, but there will be heavy and thundery ones coming through. temperatures continue to rise a little bit but still below parfor rise a little bit but still below par for the rise a little bit but still below parfor the time of rise a little bit but still below par for the time of year, highs between 11 and 14. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7... north korea's president promises to close its main nuclear test site, and invites the world to watch — according to south korea. us secretary of state mike pompeo uses his first diplomatic trip to the middle east to accuse iran of destabilising the region.
