will have more on belfast‘s songwriting genius later. donald trump has led tributes to the former us president, george bush senior, saying he inspired generations of americans to enter public service. mr bush died early this morning at his home in texas. the white house has announced that wednesday will be a national day of mourning across the united states. george bush senior was 94 and had been living with parkinson's disease, barbara, his wife of 73 years, died earlier this year. he was elected president in 1988 —

as the cold war came to an end, and led the united states in the first gulf war, when saddam hussein invaded kuwait. our north america editor, jon sopel, looks back at his life. i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states. that george herbert walker bush had reached the highest office in the land almost seemed predestined. so help me god. congratulations. he was born into a family of wealth, privilege and politics. his father was a us senator. george attended yale before volunteering for the navy in world war ii. he was shot down over the pacific, his rescue remarkably caught on film. peacetime took him to texas, where he made a fortune in the oil business. and then came the lure of politics. he was elected to congress,

served as an ambassador and became head of the cia, before pitching to become the republican presidential candidate in 1980. he lost to ronald reagan, but reagan put him on the ticket and served as vice president. in 1988 he had another crack at the presidency — this time successfully. but there were new uncertainties, notably iraq's surprise annexation of kuwait in 1990. margaret thatcher told him to stand firm, apparently saying "this is no time to go wobbly, george." he didn't. iraq will not be permitted to annex kuwait. that's not a threat, not a boast, it's just the way it's going to be. a wide coalition was forged, and operation desert storm began. the ground war would lastjust 100 hours, in a decisive victory for american military expertise and superiority. the 1992 election pitched the patrician bush against the young, charismatic and hitherto little known democratic governor from arkansas called bill clinton. his cleared advocacy of a new vision

for america swept him to a decisive victory. within a decade there was another bush in the white house, george w. bush senior was the last of america's cold war leaders, and the demise of communism during his period was managed deftly, as former soviet satellites embraced the values of democracy and freedom. the one constant throughout all that — his wife barbara. they were married for over 70 years. joining me now is the us ambassador to the united, woodyjohnson. thank you so much forjoining us and we ended that report was something that meant so much to him and that was barbara. let's pick that up. tell me about that marriage, the bush senior manager. tell me about that marriage, the

bush senior managerli tell me about that marriage, the bush senior manager. i will knew barbara very well. i was taking pictures to give you an example and she said me i see these pictures? and i said sure. i was proud of them and she said these are terrible pictures. you don't know anything about photography do you? so barbara was very clear spoken and i think you see that in the bush family. very funny and engaging in one of the first women i saw in new york that will really capture a room of females and males and get them going. and use humour to focus on something that was important. 73 yea rs something that was important. 73 years they were married. that's a very long time. you have known him personally. how do you sum him up if you could do that the time here?” would sum it up by going to the top

line which is that everybody in america loved the two of them. george and i think. they were the most beloved people particularly after he retired as president that i can remember. there was a constant steady stream that would visit the president in houston including me. i would visit him and he said don't come downjust to would visit him and he said don't come down just to see me. oh would visit him and he said don't come downjust to see me. oh no, i'm not coming downjust come downjust to see me. oh no, i'm not coming down just to see you. i have business and i have this. they really go out to lunch and i used to talk to both of them and then it was the president. the way he reacted to people in the restaurant, what kind of food you want today mr president? let's go to mexican. do you think the american public were aware he was, a very down—to—earth gentleman. he came from a family dynasty did

he? i think people endured that. he treated everybody pretty much the same. and exactly the same. i don't think he differentiated the team whether it was the head of state or summary whether it was the head of state or summary that were to the white house. that was a nice quality about him. and how did he reflect or rather approach his sons entering political life like him ? rather approach his sons entering political life like him? was ever attempted to step in? what was his ta ke attempted to step in? what was his take on that? i think he was willing to a nswer take on that? i think he was willing to answer questions but it was my impression that he did not force his will on them. he was gentleman. i think he knew that there was a fight that they had to do themselves. he did speak about it i think once he started writing his biography and his opinions became more vocal of

president bush's time in office. really interested to know about his love for the outdoors because i was surprised to come upon a story about his love for baseball. he was a great athlete. 0ne his love for baseball. he was a great athlete. one of the best baseball players i gather. he was captain of the team at yale. i played tennis with his brother jonathan and he said his brother could beat him and jonathan was really good. i played golf with him. great athlete. always had interesting bats. i went fishing with him one day and this would save a little bit about who he is. we go charging out into this a speed boat and a used aggravated barbara because he would goni it right from the dock. she would say you can't do that. we would go out about ten miles followed by his detail the boat he used to beat the detail boat. we would cast for blues and i

would get a snag. i thought, he is the president of the united states. he would cut the line and sat there and untangled this line. he said he was sure rod back. i was kind of embarrassed that the president untangled my line. that's the kind of person he was. he was patient and said no problem. have fun and we would have a lot of fun. then we came in and came back to the harbour and said barbara is watching she's not going to like this. he came. he is and that this big turn right at the dock. sure enough when we got m, the dock. sure enough when we got in, why did you do that george? were you surprised that at 90 he decided to parachute jump or was that typical? it was typical. if you look at his careerfrom typical? it was typical. if you look at his career from a fighter aeroplane and the young boy writing

notes and all the things he did in china and cia he was always up for his next adventure. and barbara was right along there with him pushing i think as not letting him get depressed or anything like that after losing an election. let'sjust talk about his diagnosis. he was living with parkinson's disease. what sort of reflections did he have when that diagnosis came through? did he ever talk about it with his friends? he did a lot. anderson went full bore on that disease and set up the clinic at the hospital. i went down to some of those. it affected him ina down to some of those. it affected him in a majorway down to some of those. it affected him in a major way and down to some of those. it affected him in a majorway and it down to some of those. it affected him in a major way and it was very serious and a big part of his life

was building that child. —— losing that child. was the most proud of which achievement?” that child. was the most proud of which achievement? i think he was, i think he always knew to give the couege think he always knew to give the college try. he tried his hardest for the american people and he worked very hard for them and work ha rd worked very hard for them and work hard for his family. he was a very determined and ethical person. and i think that the fact that he gave everything he had to give it would be proud. would you think is his legacy on the country and on america? that's interesting. a jaziri has not history —— history has not been written on him yet. when they reflect on that era, the

communist era and what impact he had on defence i think it will be a very positive one. thank you so much. you are watching bbc news. theresa may has suffered another blow to her brexit proposals, with the resignation of the universitites and science minister, sam gyimah. he said her agreement with the eu is "a deal in name only", which would remove britain's voice and veto, and lead to it being "hammered" in future negotiations with europe. the culture secretary, jeremy wright, defended the proposals — saying the agreement was "not perfect" but was "the best deal available". 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake reports. u nfortu nately

unfortunately it appears we may have lost that particular report for you. gremlins in the system. in the meantime of the japanese prime minister, shinzo abe, has met theresa may at the g20 summit, taking place in argentina. he asked her to avoid a ‘no—deal‘ brexit. major companies like nissan and honda are concerned about the possible impact on their supply chains across europe. mrs may said she was confident that japanese businesses based in the uk would continue to trade well with the eu. labour's kate 0samor, the shadow international development secretary, has resigned from her front bench role. it comes after a report that she verbally abused a journalist from the times who was looking into controversy surrounding her son's conviction for drug possession. in a statement, she said she will now ‘concentrate on supporting my family through the difficult time we have been experiencing‘. let‘s return to a report earlier.

theresa may has suffered another blow to her brexit proposals , with the resignation of the universitites and science minister, sam gyimah. he said her agreement with the eu is "a deal in name only" , which would remove britain‘s voice and veto , and lead to it being "hammered" in future negotiations with europe. the culture secretary, jeremy wright, defended the proposals — saying the agreement was "not perfect" but was "the best deal available". 0ur political correspondent, jonathan blake reports. she is still managing to smile, but just as theresa may arrived for a reception with other world leaders at the g20 summit in buenos aires last night, one of her ministers announced his resignation. sam gyimah was seen as a rising star in government, a loyal supporter of the prime minister, but one who has now made very clear he cannot support her brexit deal. in leaving the eu, we will surrender our voice, our veto and our vote.

and we will become rule takers not rule makers. the deal that is on the table from the pm is a deal in name only. all the big issues have been kicked down the road, so we are in for several years of negotiations, at the point at which we have no leverage and the eu has all the control. sam gyimah‘s decision came after the prime minister announced the uk would pull out of the galileo satellite navigation programme, the eu‘s alternative to the us—based gps. britain had wanted to stay part of it, but the eu would only allow partial access. it would be wrong to put our armed services relying on a system on which they couldn‘t be sure of. that would not be in our national interest, so what is in our national interest is to say no, you haven‘t allowed us that full access so we will develop an alternative, we will look at alternative options. ahead of the vote in parliament on her brexit deal, theresa may has

been appealing to people directly to put pressure on their mps to back her agreement. with sam gyimah‘s resignation there is now one more voice calling for the public to have their say again. but a second referendum is ruled out by the prime minister, and for labour, is still only one possible option. our view is let us have a general election, the reason is because in a general election, there is a wide debate and you choose the team that will lead you from thereon. if we can‘t get that, we have said we will keep all options on the table and that includes the possibility of a people‘s vote. as the prime minister took her place with other leaders on the world stage last night, one more of her ministers stepped out of line over brexit. and she knows there may be more to come, before mps vote on her deal in parliament, in ten days‘ time. a 98—year—old world war two veteran who was critically injured during a violent robbery in his home in north london has died. ff police were called

to peter gouldstone‘s home in bounds green on the sixth november — where they found him suffering from a head injury and extensive bruising to his body. he was taken to hospital, but died yesterday. 0ur news correspondentjenny kumah said police were looking for anyone with information to come forward. the second world war veteran was attacked in his north london home on the 6th of november and what police described as a despicable attack on a vulnerable pensioner. he suffered serious injuries including two blades to his brain and bruising to his body. a number of items were stolen from his home including a television. in a statement metropolitan police say they are shocked and saddened by the news of his death and a appeal to anyone with information to search their conscience and contacted the police. no arrests have been made but they

say a number of inquiries are at hand and a £10,000 reward has been offered in the hope that it can lead toa offered in the hope that it can lead to a conviction. the is a live pictures coming to us from the capital. we have seen fires throughout the day and barricades being built by some of those protesters. the demonstrators have been travelling from across the country making their way to the capital. to voice their concern over the cost of living. the rising cost of living. there referred to as the yellow vests. after the muttering rule which requires drivers to carry those yellow vests in their car in case they break down. this been a fairamount of case they break down. this been a fair amount of reaction today and a lot of the authorities saying the french health minister here saying the riots are in acceptable. also making a claim that extremists on

the far right and far left have taken advantage of the situation. no confirmation of that but the first time this allegation has been made. we understand now that 205 people have been arrested during these protests this coming from reuters via police sources on the streets in paris. in addition to this at least 19 metro stations now also reportedly shot on saturday as those of violent clashes between protesters and riot police spread. this has continued as darkness has fallen across paris and also earlier reports that a building with set on fire quite near to the arc de triomphe and department stores

shutting their doors including the very well known gallery lafayette. another saturday, another violent protest at a paris landmark. today, the yellow vest demonstrators were kept away from the shops of the champs elysees, so it was at the top, around the arc de triomphe, that there were the clashes with police. all morning we have seen hundreds and hundreds of yellowjackets gathering here on the avenue, and then pushing up towards the arc de triomphe, which you can see behind us shrouded in tear gas. the more daring go to the front where there are clashes going on with riot police, the others hang back where we are now. most of the marchers kept well away from the violence and expressed in words their anger and determination. translation: the problem is much bigger than just a few tax. that was just the straw that broke the camel‘s back. the distress has been brewing for years, it is time to make ourselves felt. translation: we are simple citizens, simple french citizens. it is the people who are rebelling, no political parties here. translation: we thought we were seeing the beginnings of a dialogue between the yellow

vests and the government, but with all of this that‘s totally wrecked. now the yellow vests are going to keep going to the bitter end. it‘s civil war. the numbers of protestors were relatively small, those who took part in the violence even fewer, but once against the yellow vests are dominating the news. their anti—macron movement still has momentum. hugh scofield, bbc news, paris. the chairman of the hs2 rail link, sir terry morgan, says he expects to be dismissed formally, even though he was only appointed injuly. it‘s thought the scheme, britain‘s biggest infrastructure project, is over budget.? sir terry is also in charge of the delayed crossrail programme. ? our business correspondent, joe miller, is here. but the business or is developing

today. tell us more about what he has been saying. a little bit of background about who he is, he‘s a respected engineer running crossrail for almost a decade and also has been running a test to as you said since august when he was appointed. at the time of his appointment the transport secretary was effusive in his praise and said he would add world —class his praise and said he would add world—class expertise the project and now just world—class expertise the project and nowjust us today the world—class expertise the project and now just us today the first learn from the financial times that chris and the chancellor philip hammond were unhappy with that and it was elated over budget and therefore felt that it was untenable to be at the helm of his edges to. that is what you said earlier. i can only assume because i've not yet been told that because hs to the subject quickly important for graham

and with a sense of disappointment around the disappointment of crossrail but it was too risky for a programme like hsz to continue in my role as chairman. and audibly perturbed terry and he went on to defend both of them and said he was disappointed by crossrail which was its beset by delays and over budget but he did not expect that hs2 would necessarily run into those same problems and he really left it parting shot to politicians and people in westminster make these decisions. he said if researcher projects like hs2 were the envy of other countries across europe and across the world and by their nature very complex. but he was saying was getting rid of someone like me won‘t and all of the problems. we will leave it there for now but thank you very much. this week marked the 50th

anniversary of the release of one of the most revered albums of all time, astral weeks by sir van morrison. the likes of eltonjohn, u2 and bruce springsteen, say the singer from belfast has been a huge influence. now fans are being drawn to his home city — to see the streets and sights which have inspired sir van. our ireland correspondent, chris page has more. astral weeks is the greatest record ever made. astral weeks is the soundtrack to my life. belfast is celebrating its enigmatic songwriting generous. i‘d like to welcome you on this 50th anniversary at astral weeks. i am lyne, i‘m a van morrison fan. vanatics, as they are often described, are making a pilgrimage

to the place their hero calls home. here we are on the corner where van morrison was born on the 31st of august 19115. traces of the city and memories of his upbringing are everywhere in his music. so i‘m just going to play something and you can imagine yourself with van morrison at home with his parents and the endless summer nights, not like today. just around the corner, this childhood haunt has recently been rescued from overgrown and security. one of his best—known songs, brown eyed girl. that huge shift came in 1967.

about a year later, the jaunty pop gave way to the moody hypnotic folksiness. i think at the heart of astral weeks is a very strong sense of belfast and what belfast meant to him. this bbc radio presenter has interviewed the man himself the number of times. i think van said the really only two stories in music, leaving and going home, and astral weeks is about yearning. this one has just changed people‘s lives. it‘s actually gone global. you can‘t say that about very much. especially a small country like northern ireland, but van has done it. van morrison, you said it all. other local artists including poets are hoping the flair which flourished here will rub off on them. we will never stray. we are now what i suppose a lot of people will call the holy of holies of van morrison.

on the streets made famous by the song on astral weeks, van fans are particularly proud. i grew up here and i think he is a wonderful ambassador. it is a continuous source inspiration for english music. the sounds resonate of east belfast and belfast in general and we are very lucky that he was from belfast. it is the legacy of a legend and this city hopes to make the most of sir van‘s musical magic. russia has been accused of a lot lately — from poisoning former spies in the uk, to illegally capturing ukranian ships. but how does it feel when it‘s your country that‘s being criticised — and what do young russians really think of britain? will chalk from radio 1‘s newsbeat has been to moscow to find out. he‘s in our collective and fashion

designers and printers and graphic artists can all come work here for free. a lot of that support russian president. what rush is in the wrong. but not everyone we met was so glowing about the russian government. timofey met us in a bar and despite the fact that freedom of speech is limited in russia and protesting can get you jailed, he told us he wanted to speak openly. i don‘t think that our government cares about us, and obviously they lie to us. i don‘t like lots of things about our government, but to be completely honest, the west wants and needs to put trey us bad. i was living in

scotland‘s nine months ago, and being from eastern europe it is hard in the uk. people are stereotyping. so if there is a cultural divide how do we fix that? i grew up on an english music, you know? and british. my favourite and was oasis. there‘s obviously a political divide. do you think music and culture is one of the ways we might be able to fix that? i think music is the right way. but maybe it will work or maybe not. before we left we wanted to find out how much will we had been told i was representative of young russians as russians as a whole. dennis is from one of the few independent organizations in russia allowed to survey people. one of the questions directly about politics would be that russia should not give in but if you ask about what countries would like to take and emulate, first of all its western countries.

so this event. ourfinal morning in russia. we only spent time in moscow so we can‘t judge the whole country, but walking around and just feels like any other city. it could be london, manchester or edinburgh. that being said after you‘ve been here for a few days you do since a lot of the undercurrent of fear. even the people who are really keen to talk to us are nervous about it and some of the people refused because they are too scared because they say they don‘t know what the authorities will do to them if they say the wrong thing. in terms of how we can make things between the uk and russia better most people seem to say the solution is just to, for us and the normal people and not politicians to meet up and talk and have fun. the more we do that, they say, the last time act less relevant the scary politics becomes. will chalk, bbc news. you can watch the full newsbeat documentary, ‘from russia without love‘,

on the bbc iplayer now. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. for many a soggy start with alberts arena working their way across much of the uk as it has clear we have kept a lot of clout and also some drizzle in places but equally the cloud try to thin and break it for many it‘s a more dry and ended the day. this is the bigger picture another swirl of cloud to the southwest of the uk and it will be pushing its way towards us as we head through this evening and overnight. while connected to this frontal system and notice how a daisy chains out into the atlantic so daisy chains out into the atlantic so rayment never too far away in the next 20 us. we will find clearer skies for a time through this evening and overnight and for more rain than to southwest england and wales and northern ireland as the night wears on working its way north and east and just across the far north and east of scotland with clearer skies and a fairly chilly night with a touch of frost in mist and fog patches with temperatures just above freezing and head further south the far north and east of

scotla nd south the far north and east of scotland with clearer skies and a fairly chilly night with a touch of frost in mist and fog patches with temperatures just above freezing and head further south and england as a positive that cold air across other parts of scotland we will see snow for time and many above the hundred metres with the highlands. for the rain which will start to clear but linger through the central belt northwards through much of the day. for there to ireland england and wales were in first thing in the morning if that clears and also watch out for a fairly blustery shower and seven england. his average speeds in the afternoon with gusts up to a0 mph with some channel coast. the mild afternoon are causing the dead whales at temperatures up to around 1a or 15 celsius. still struggling to get much above eight or nine celsius across scotland and northern ireland. as ago from sunday into monday we lose the front for a time. fairly wea k monday we lose the front for a time. fairly weak affair but notice how it still goes quite close together. windy conditions as we going to monday and outbreaks of rain across wales other parts of england with further rain for the north of scotla nd further rain for the north of scotland with snow over high ground.

in between a reasonable day on monday with spells of sunshine and breezy espen across england and wales there will be another mile day. eight or nine across northern scotla nd day. eight or nine across northern scotland and 11 for northern england and ireland. looking ahead is a fairly unsettled week and early session on tuesday will quickly be replaced with more rain and more to come through wednesday and thursday. goodbye. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here‘s karthy. i think you very much. if you‘re a boxing fan is a big night ahead. if he can beat america‘s and dante waldeck and their world title fight later. the pair meet in los angeles on saturday with wilder‘s wbc belt up for grabs. ade adedoyin is there. nicknamed the gypsy king, tyson fury

is attempting to become the comeback kid. he has overcome drugs and depression, and his next challenge is to overcome the man and the mask. dlj wilder! my opponent last fight was way tougher than him. this is just another step to be getting to where i want to go. like i said there will be one champion, one phase one name. all but one of wilder‘s went up, knockout. if you believe he is the big draw. wilder lately. let's make no mistake about this. he has made seven defences of his world title, but he still unknown in this country. it's been a long time since north america hosted a heavyweight fight of this magnitude, and it certainly captured the imagination of some of the

division‘s greatest champions. the imagination of some of the division's greatest champions. you not agitate people, and i think the only way to beat him is to agitate people. —— you know how to agitate people. —— you know how to agitate people. his journey back to the top could be the script of a movie, the question is will it have a hollywood ending. and you can hear every punch with mike costello and the team in la on radio five live from aam in the morning with the first bell expected around five o‘clock. manchester city are five points clear at the top of the premier league after a 3—1 win over bournemouth. bernardo silva gave city the lead just after 15 minutes — that was his sixth goal of the season but a calum wilson header gave bourmentouh hope making it 1—1 just before half time. raheem sterling got city‘s second and ilkay gundogan made sure that the champions came away with their 12th win of the season. you must have a manager, and they

must have the spirit and respect, expect everything in 90 minutes, and have a good performance you know. something happened. overall, because they are a good team too, so we cannot expect that everything is easy, and everything it‘s going to go well, but that is the lesson you have to learn the couple we know it‘s a difficult and mentally —— thatis it‘s a difficult and mentally —— that is the lesson you have to learn. we know it‘s a difficulty and we have to be mentally tough. the fastest prmeier league goal of the day came after just one minute when mathias jorgensen scored for huddersfield. but they then had steve mounie sent off after 32 minutes allowing brighton back in to the game with goals from shane duffy and florin andone. a 2—1 win for brighton and huddersfiled stay out of the relegaiton zone but onlyjust.... leaving david wagner unhappy with the referee‘s decisions.

ido like i do like to discuss anything else besides the referee decisions, because if i make these decisions, how he has done, and from my point of view it was direct, that we don't have to discuss it again about anything in football, nothing. i have to discuss it again about anything in football, nothing. lam proud my weir slot, and i am proud of my players thought, and i'm absolutely fine with the effort they put in. —— i absolutely fine with the effort they put in. —— lam proud my players fought. a quick look at the other day‘s results and it‘s a first home premire league win of the season for crystal palace. a 2—nil win over burnley at selhurst park. worth keeping an eye on match of the day to see a great james madison goal as leciester city beat watford 2—nil. and there was a comfortabe 3—nil win for west ham over newcastle to end their run of three wins. the kick off between manchester united and southampton was a few

minutes ago. leeds are second behind norwich city in the championship after a 1—nil win over fellow promotion contenders sheffield united in the yorkshire derby. the afternoon started with leeds in second place with sheffield united in fifth and it tookjust one mistake to separate the two sides. pablo hernandez eventually slotting in after a mix up in the sheffield united defence, that took them top briefly but norwich have reclaimed the top spot with vcitory over rotherham. afc wimbledon are through to the third round of the fa cup for the third season in a row after a 3—1win over non—league halifax. halifax started well but the visitors scored just before half time... then ran away with it in the second half. anthony wordsworth curling in for their second, and joe pigott with the third when he hit home from 10 yards after halifax failed to clear a free kick. a 3—1 win to afc wimbledon. no one is bothered her you are through in the way, it is just about getting to the next round. remember

the first half when we were our best, but we gotjob done, and we could have won by a bigger margin in the end. in the scottish premiership, the match between kilmarnock and hibs was affected by the floodlights failing twice.. kilarnock went on to win 3—0 and are in seocnc place. livingston scored for the first time in five games to beat motherwell and move to sixth place in the table, goals from steven lawless and craig halkett gave them a 2—0 victory. dougie imrie, ziggy gordon and james keatings all scored for hamilton in their 2—1 win over 10—man st mirren — the win takes them five points clear of their hamilton who are second bottom in the table. on to rugby union and a ninth straight premiership win has taken saracens to the top of the table. 19 points from alex lozowski helped the champions beat wasps 29—6 at allianz park. defeat for wasps means they drop down to fourth place. austin halewood reports. after a first defeat for exit care,

the door to was on the sars is to return to the top of this championship, and expect to strengthen their cost. england‘s will going to scotland but must make them, getting back in the swing. but wasps had an international of their own to call upon at daily‘s boot is just as reliable. comfortably slotting a 56 metered penalty the longest of the season so far. with scoring at a premium but wasps withstood all that they could throw at them, until the resistance was finally broken. jamie found his way through. and when an uncharacteristic mistake from daley handed them a second, itjust wasn‘t the wasps day. a traditional encounter, they are still undefeated

and back to the top. bristol had a a1, 10 bonus point win over leicester, harry thacker with two tries for bristol against his former side. gloucester move up to third place with a six try vitory over wocester. a bonus point 36 to 16 win for glocuester, and newcastle had a narrow 16 points to 1a vcitory over northampton. in the pro 1a, ulster have beaten cardiff blues by 16 points to 12. alll the tries came in the first half, with cardiff carrying a 12— 10 lead at the break thanks to scores from matthew morgan and christian dacey. but cardiff bues haven‘t won in belfast in 8 years, and that record persists after two second half penalties from john rooney earned ulster a 16—12 victory. mark williams breezed into the third round of the uk snooker championship in york with a 6 frames to nil win over daniel wells. the welshman is the current world champion and he was in good form as he looks to win a third uk championship title. he managed two century

breaks on his way to a comfortable second round win. china‘s yu delu has been banned from snooker for 10 years and nine months after a major match—fixing inquiry. his compatriot cao yupeng also pleaded guilty to fixing and was banned for six years, although three and a half years of his sentence are suspended. suspicious betting patterns in numerous matches were investigated over two years in one of the sport‘s biggest corruption scandals. . this is a very different cases is not the case of people walking into high street, this is betting markets in the fareast, high street, this is betting markets in the far east, large sums of money, one of the matches, £65,000 we re sta ke d money, one of the matches, £65,000 were staked to make a profit of £86,000, and that's just were staked to make a profit of £86,000, and that'sjust a one match. it's a big issue, but i think

snooker will be happy they have come to the conclusion of this. they have set out a message to the players, andl set out a message to the players, and i think the education element will be important. there has been a goal in the game at st mary‘s, and it has gone against southampton. it is southampton one, manchester united milk. we will keep you updated on that and bring you more in sports day at 630. it is not time for the film review. hello there, and welcome to the film review here on the bbc news, what have you got for us this week? very strong week. we have a very strong

film disobedience. the rocky franchise continues and creed two, and truth is stranger than fiction and three identical strangers. so disobedience, a woman to come back to her hometown, it‘s her father‘s funeral. yes. it rekindled a love affair. it‘s had mixed reviews. what‘s your verdict? you basically just done myjob, you set it up. based on a novel by naomi alderman, rachel weisz is ronnie who comes back from new york, and she comes back as she discovers her two best friends. dovid played by alessandro nivola, and esti by rachel mcadams. we know that she left under clouds, we know she has been completely absent, and when she turns up it ru ns absent, and when she turns up it runs as i didn‘t expect to see you. at first it is not clear why. here isa at first it is not clear why. here is a clip. should i take the food out. let his wife do it. who is mrs

kupperman? do we approve?” out. let his wife do it. who is mrs kupperman? do we approve? i was going to go to a hotel, but she told her she should stay with us. yes yes. you must. build on the bed. i'll do it. yes. yes we are old. you told me, why didn‘t you let me know? you disappeared. it's a great cast. it's you disappeared. it's a great cast. it‘s a really good cast, and it became apparent that there was a relationship and the esti character when she returns. suddenly it throws a spiral in the works and things are rekindled, and the rest of the film

is about the relationship between love and religion how one person was trying to redefine themselves through believe, and there‘s almost a touch of the mid—education of cameron post. on the other side he is gone off to new york, and has become her own person. i like this. i was surprised by the reviews. i thought it was well played and sensitively handled. it is fairly low— key sensitively handled. it is fairly low—key but when it needs to be passionate it‘s not embarrassed. there is a comparison with the fantastic woman and that in the story to someone who is in the wake of the death, they find themselves cast their own community. what i really liked about it was a typo which does not do a lot of of what —— what i like about it was it is a film that does not explain a lot to you. it has to do with what people do not say. when the people look at each other or hold themselves up i really liked it. i thought it was fine film. sounds good. greed to?

i‘m nota fine film. sounds good. greed to? i‘m not a fan of boxing but convinced me. i am not a fan either but this reinvented the franchise. this carries on. michael bjordan whose father apollo creed was killed in the ring by drago back in rocky for which i have sure you have seen. now he is drago‘s sun victor wants a second—generation grudge match, and rocky is not up for it, and suddenly michael b jordan‘s rocky is not up for it, and suddenly michael bjordan‘s characters as if you don‘t help me with as you are abandoning me. ithink you don‘t help me with as you are abandoning me. i think it‘s really good because it‘s a familiar story. it's good because it‘s a familiar story. it‘s well enough directed that the audience will think it is new. the boxing sequences don‘t have quite the visuals. there is a match in the

which presented one shot, but what happens is you care about him feel the punches because you care about the punches because you care about the characters. well played. it is astonishing that this far down the line, this series is managing to produce new material that, as i said, takes older riffs and tells old stories in a new way and i was surprisingly gripped there was a couple moments of the boxing scenes, i found myself gripping the edge of my chair. i‘ve never watched a boxing match, and i‘m not a boxing fan. it definitely worked for me. it's fan. it definitely worked for me. it‘s quite long, and i didn‘t realise how long it was. when i came out i realised how long i had been in the cinema. three identical strangers. this is a documentary, it‘s an amazing story. three triplets separated at birth rediscover each other later on. what

happens is this a certain amount of reconstruction, and the beginning we are introduced to a character who is telling about 1980% because the couege telling about 1980% because the college and people keep coming up to him and behaving like they know him. and he realises he has a doppelganger. the next thing that becomes a news story. what‘s really remarkable is that the third person also realises they know each other. this is unbelievable. while this is big this is serious. this is not a coincidence. this is not a minor resemblance. this is really serious. get the classes and got him and my mother was right. she had a cup of coffee and i showed her. we exchange newspapers. it had a long island jewish hospitaljuly 12,

newspapers. it had a long island jewish hospitaljuly12, 1961, and it was louise wise adoption agency. i always new growing up i was adopted without my parents were open about it, but it said eddie gallant. it said son of prominent position, my first thought i said as he has the wealthy family. cell in the beginning it seems like a remarkable coincidence. but then what happens is 25 minutes into the film they become celebrated stars, they had a cameo in the madonna movie, they start their own business. you think 0k start their own business. you think ok where is it going to go from your? where it goes is it starts to ask about how these coincidences happen, why was it that none of them new about the others. how was it that they ended up in three families from three different social strata. it almost ought to look like they are accidental destiny has been

planned, and as it does on, and i would suggest the less you know about it going in the better, every time they say oh a get any more coincidental, it does. what i liked about it was it‘s very well put together because as a piece of storytelling, one of the problem sometimes with documentaries as they are as good as the story. this is a good story but it has to be told well. at times is like a thriller. at times it seems like a really sinister can thursday very —— conspiracy theory. on the one hand it seems like a nature nurture argument, but on the other hand there‘s this whole element going on. i watched it and i was going no no. it becomes so astonishing and what is really important is that‘s not just because it‘s a good story. it‘s because it‘s a really interesting, and often very heartbreaking, and very sort of skewing story but it‘s

told very well. it is told with a real but very firm hand on how much information to reveal. the less you know about the story the better. evenif know about the story the better. even if you know the whole story there has been a lot of news coverage. you will still be gripped by the way the story is told. remind me not to sit next to you when i sit next to you in films. best out? shoplifters which was apparently a surprise winner divides a story about a family unit, the father and young boys shoplifting and he is passing on the shoplifting skills to his son, and they appear to be functioning as a normal family, his son, and they appear to be functioning as a normalfamily, but they‘re anything but. what is interesting is if he told a story in a different way can be a horror story or crime thriller. again, it‘s another type of nature nurture

thing. what constitutes a family. what constitutes criminal activity. the ways that we put barriers between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, and i think it was lovely. and best dvd, one of my favourites in recent months. are you saying that sarcastically? note. i thought the first mama mia was generally all over the place, but it won me over. this is technically better made. it is a terrific script, and itself reverentially funny and all the right ways. plus it isa funny and all the right ways. plus it is a sequence which features my love, my life which is my favourite abba song, and i was in tears. i laughed and i cried.” abba song, and i was in tears. i laughed and i cried. i have never cried in the cinema in my life. have you never cried in a movie? have you watched it to one of the life? your

challenge for christmas is to watch it‘s a wonderful life without bursting into tears. if you don‘t cry you are in android. maybe i am in android. thank you very much. you‘ll find more film news and reviews across the bbc online on bbc .co.uk. reviews across the bbc online on bbc .co .uk. you‘ll find all of our previous programmes on the bbci player. that is it for this week that he so much for watching goodbye. hello, for many it‘s been a soggy start saturday. outbreaks of rain have been working their way across much of the uk. as it‘s clear, we‘ve kept a lot of clouds and drizzle in places, but equally cloud trying to bend and break, and for many it is a dryer and to the day. this is the bigger picture, the early satellite picture, another swirl of cloud to the southwest of the uk, and that will be pushing its way towards us as we head to the evening and overnight.

it‘s all connected to the frontal system, notice how it daisy chains out into the atlantic, so rain never too far away to the next 2a hours. we will find some clear skies at a time through this evening and overnight, before more rain arrives into southwest england and wales, and northern ireland as the night wears on, working its way north and eastwards. will stay mainly dry across the north and eastern scotland here, so there are clear skies and a fairly chilly night with a touch of frost, notice of mist and frost patches with temperatures just above freezing, but head further south into england and wales, it‘s going to be a mild night. temperatures going to be low near nine or 10 celsius. as it bumps into that cold air, across northern parts of scotland, will see some snow for a time, mainly above 600 metres over the high lives, but also for the rain which will start to clear from southern scotland, but lingered through the central belt northward through much of the day. for northern ireland, england, and wales, some rain first thing in the morning as that clears, some bright and sunny spells,

but also watch out for some fairly blustery showers, some strong winds across wales, and southern england. these are average speeds through the afternoon. we can well see gusts up to a0 mph for some of the channel coast. it‘s another mild afternoon across england and wales, temperatures up to 1a and 15 celsius. still, struggling to get much above eight or nine celsius across scotland and northern ireland. as you go from sunday into monday, we lose the fronts for a time. this is a fairly weak affair, but notice how the isobars are still quite close together, so some windy conditions as we go into monday. outbreaks of rain across wales and southern parts of england. further rain for the far north of scotland, with the snow over high ground, but in between, a reasonable day on monday some spells of sunshine, breezy yes, but across england and wales it will be another mild day, 1a or 15 celsius. eight or or nine across northern scotland, 11 for northern england and northern ireland. so looking ahead, it‘s a fairly unsettled week. early sunshine on tuesday will quickly be replaced by more rain, and there‘s plenty more rain to come through wednesday and thursday. good evening. tributes have been paid to the former us president george hw bush, who‘s died at his home in texas. he was 9a, and had been living

with parkinson‘s disease. he‘d served as an pilot in world war two before turning to business and politics, becoming president in 1988. he lead america as the soviet union collapsed, and in the first gulf war, ousting saddam hussein from kuwait in 1990. president bush had been critical of mr trump but today‘s president paid tribute to the former leader, saying, "president bush inspired generations of his fellow americans to public service."
