6:03 am

6:08 am
they painted a dark portrait of a superstar who manipulated young women into sexual relationships, enabled by a coterie of accomplices. in 2001, a witness had conversations with robert kelly and robert kelly's associates, where the witness was asked to retrieve video tapes showing robert kelly having sexual intercourse with the victim in this case when she was only 1a years old. after the hearing, a judge set bail for mr kelly at $1 million. he ordered him to surrender his passport and to avoid contact with anyone below the age of 18. on behalf of mr kelly, his lawyer strenuously denied the charges. he did not force anyone to have sex. he doesn't have — he's a — he's a — he's a rock star. he doesn't have to have non—consensual sex. r kelly, whose real name is robert sylvester kelly, has faced decades of claims that he abused women and teenagers,
6:09 am
but the accusations gained renewed prominence after a documentary called surviving r kelly aired on us networks, which led to boycotts of mr kelly's music, with activists using the hashtag #muterkelly. and now, these charges, which some have said should have come years ago. kim gittleson, bbc news. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in morocco for a three day tour. it is the couple's first official visit to north africa. they were greeted at casablanca airport by soldiers, and were offered the traditional welcome of dates and milk. gender equality, which is promoted by the duchess, will be a focus during the royal couple's trip. the oscars is being held in hollywood this evening. the favourite — starring olivia colman — is up for ten awards, jointly leading the nominations with roma, a mexican film produced by netflix. there's hope for greater diversity
6:10 am
among the winners this year after a shakeup in membership of the academy, following criticism that hollywood's focus has been too white and too male. from los angeles, dan johnson reports. black panther‘s a marvel comic action film that's set box office records, as well as breaking cultural boundaries. it's the first superhero movie nominated for best picture, and it's the highest grossing film by a black director. costumes from the fictional kingdom of wakanda were designed by a hollywood trailblazer, who has her own oscar nomination. there have been too many misconceptions about africans and where we come from and that connection between african—america ns and africa, so culturally, it — it really gave, i feel, african—americans and africans a bridge. i've never had fried chicken in my life.
6:11 am
multiple nominations for films like green book, roma and if beale street could talk are being held up as evidence that the oscars, and the movies, are more embracing. because you can do better, mr vallelonga. we keep hope alive, the expectation of something good, our hope stories will continue to be told that embrace the fullness of humanity, and that includes absolutely at the forefront the life of the black empowered female. blachklansman has earned director spike lee his first oscar nomination after 35 years in the business. lots of people think it's well overdue. well, they‘ re right. a lot more people are in front and behind the camera, but if you look at the numbers overall, it's still small, so a lot more work to do. the red carpet and the nominations list may feel more diverse but, of course, the real test is whether that's reflected in who and what actually wins. and there are other voices cautioning that deeper change is still needed.
6:12 am
while we have some really great things that we can celebrate, projects that make us incredibly proud, creatives that are breaking through, on the whole, we have not seen the type of real change to the way that hollywood does its business, to its business model. you look like a badger. there are strong female stories too — the favourite is nominated ten times. the best director list is stubbornly all male, showing there's still a challenge behind the scenes, as well as on screen. danjohnson, bbc news, los angeles. looking forward to that and of course, you will be able to see the outcome of the oscars tomorrow morning huon bbc breakfast. will be live in los angeles within the next half—hour to talk about all the subjects brought up in that piece we have just seen. to the front pages of the newspapers this morning and predictably, brexit still making the main headlines and many of them. may
6:13 am
it funks brexit vote as cabinet splits. it talks about the split in the cabinet because as we know, some seniorfigures within the cabinet because as we know, some senior figures within her cabinet and said they would like a delay to article two, which have caused all kinds of problems. do you know what funks means? i had to it up, it means back at something because of fear. the front page of the sunday telegraph, they also have a front—page story saying brexit delay, and elephant trap that we cannot escape. delaying and mp saying that brexit delays and elephant trap that we cannot escape, and the picture is of course meghan markle, the duchess of sussex, arriving in casablanca. wasjust saying, she is getting an awful lot of stick in some of the papers at the moment the baby show she had with some of her friends, which seems a bit unnecessary given it was a kind of private and. it is unusual, isn't it? staying with
6:14 am
brexit and warning merely from wrecks and supporting mps that the may must not panic, olivia colman having fun at disneyland had of what could be a huge, great oscars for her. it is brilliant, she isjust loving it and why wouldn't you be? yeah, brilliant. one page of the sunday mirror this morning, this is their special investigation. they are saying there is a warning from teachers about a new app that children are using, they have been sent home from school over this tick—tock craze. parents being warned of the dangers of tick—tock, teachers fearing that some predators are targeting children of social media. tick-tock in your house? no, it has not happened in my house. little bit. should i be worried? don't worry, it is not happening, do not worry about it. it is just one of many things. another story from the inside pages of the paper.
6:15 am
grumpy cats, this is the personality ofa grumpy cats, this is the personality of a cat which is actually determined by their owner. they often felt the cats are perhaps com pletely often felt the cats are perhaps completely independent of the owners in terms of personality traits of a developed, unlike dogs. now they have said no, very often cats's personalities do reflect their owners. that is grumpy there famously, of course. kind and is independent, rather than grumpy. famously, of course. kind and is independent, ratherthan grumpy. my cat is absolutely vicious and really foul tempered. completely the opposite. good morning. let us go to christou has this morning's weather. it was foggy this morning. they get it might be like that everywhere else. good morning. patches of fog around this morning. dense patches like yesterday. northern england is

6:19 am
hello there and welcome to the film review on bbc news. taking us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. ah, jason, what treats do you have for us this week? this week we're in the snows of colorado for the controversial cold pursuit, which finds liam neeson ploughing a rampage of revenge through the icy blasts. we're on the streets of beirut — if you have tears to shed. prepare yourself for capernaum, about a boy and a baby on the mean streets. we're also looking at rbg, ruth bader ginsburg. as felicity jones plays in a courtroom drama, a biotech which rights the scales of injustice of injustice and sexual equality.
6:20 am
let's start than with cold pursuit, as you say, surrounded by controversy because of that interview that liam neeson gave to publicise it, that interview with the independent newspaper. that's right. an extraordinary interview, which is sort of dropped in the middle of a junket, we call these things. no one was expecting it and he revealed he'd been on a rampage himself of revenge when someone close to him was raped and he looked for someone to take revenge on for a week. obviously he was talking about revenge because he does nothing but star in these rather grimly relentless revenge dramas. it started with taken and now he's still in with another one called cold pursuit. where he's the snowplough driver and citizen of the year in kehoe, a luxury ski resort in colorado. where i'm sure you've been many times. and then his son is mixed up with some drug dealers and is murdered and liam starts to take matters into his own hands. and start offing in a bunch of criminals with silly names — like speedo and the eskimo and viking. he goes to his brother—in—law, who's also a little bit dodgy, to find out more about the underworld. kyle — he got mixed up with some clown by the name of dante and they stole a kilo
6:21 am
of coke from viking. who's viking? drug dealer. a big one. viking's a whole different breed. he likes hurting people. i'm gonna kill him, brock. sure you are what makes you think you can kill a man? i've killed three of his guys. what did you do with the bodies? wrapped them in chicken wire, threw them off the gorge. where'd you learn that? i read it in a crime novel. laughs. as you say, he does specialise in there revenge movies. i mean, they must be popular for the producers to keep making them. yeah. and he's obviously the man that they pick. he's got this cheerlessness that has set in. look, i think some of them are fine.
6:22 am
i think they're politically incorrect most of the time — those taken movies — albanian gangsters all over the place. this one leaves a nasty taste in the mouth because of the publicity that it's garnered. it's a rather flippant movie about violence and revenge. he starts kind of sawing off a shotgun and shooting people — wearing that furry coat wherever he goes, even to a denver nightclub when he wears it. i think there's supposed to be a vein of humour in it, but because of that interview, i couldn't find anything to laugh at. i thought this is really in poor taste. the film is going for a black humour in a matter of a coen brothers, and you think of fargo because of all the snow or you think of tarantino or even more of three billboards outside ebbing, missouri — if we remember all the way back to last year's oscars. and it doesn't have the wit of that and it doesn't have the politics of that. itjust has liam relentlessly piling up bodies, while this car crash of an interview kind of thunders in the background. laura dern is in it, briefly. she leaves of her own volition. this is the sort of movie that thinks it's amusing —
6:23 am
because there's so much body count in it — to list the cast in order of disappearance. right. that's the level of humour. very briefly, you wonder whether that awful publicity, will mean that people don't go to see it — or encourage some people to go see it? it could have the perverse effect. people say, oh, liam neeson, great, go and see this because it's funny. but the tone of the movie takes is isn't the intelligent examination of revenge at all. it's rather flippant. and that's what's ugly about the whole conversation. i think it is pretty awful. and i really hope no one goes to see it. and that will serve him right. be careful what you say to journalists. yeah, all right. jason, thank you for that. ah, so cap—er—nau—um, is that how we decided to pronounce it? yes. capernaum — it means chaos, of some sort. it's a french word. it's also a town in the sea of galilee wherejesus healed the sick in the temple. you are so knowledgeable, full of education. full of interest. this film is actually oscar nominated, sunday night at the oscars, for best foreign language film. and if, as i said at the start, you're lachrymose, if you have anything welling up inside you, this film will tug at your heartstrings.
6:24 am
it's directed by a lebanese director called nadine labaki. and it's about a kid called zain, who's 12 years old and decides to sue his parents but then takes to the streets of beirut, runs away from them, and then is given the job of holding this baby for an ethiopian illegal immigrant who is rounded up. so he ends up baby—sitting this tiny baby, who's one years old, and the pair of them going around the streets are amazing. i've never seen a spice of life realist drama like this in which a baby and a boy perform so brilliantly like this. if they gave oscars for best baby, this would win. it's an extraordinary performance from this child. and it really tugs at the heartstrings. it is a bit chaotic and it is a bit too much and cacophonous, the streets of beirut. but, i tell you what, by the time you realise that things are a bit wrong, you'll be in so many floods of tears and you won't notice. mm, i'm not sure i would, but anyway. oscar nominated, very briefly, for best foreign language film. in a word, will it win? no. it's up against roma. no chance. that's more than one word, but anyway. on the basis of sex.
6:25 am
this is the story of us supreme courtjudge ruth bader ginsburg. very famous who has fought for women's equality on the supreme court and a legendary figure, really. that's what she's famous for. and you may remember, the last time i was doing this with you, we reviewed a documentary called rbg, which itself is oscar—nominated on sunday night, and could win, it's a documentary about ruth bader ginsburg. this is a biopic, though, and it kind of hones in on her early career and life, where she's played by felicityjones — in the movie she's played by felicityjones, in real life she's does a good job of herself. as you can see in a documentary. here, felicityjones, who we know from the theory of everything, playing ruth bader ginsburg and it's got those compulsory scenes at harvard where she outsmarts everyone in the room. you know, she's the only woman at harvard law. all in this we can always see her pictured as the only woman throughout. and she's married to this great guy called marty, played by armie hammer in a very elegant and easy going fashion. and he turns her on to a new way of thinking about inequality
6:26 am
in writing those wrongs that she is fighting against. so we can see her now taking this big court case all the way to the supreme court, the biggest case of her life and doing a mock trial at her home... it's very much about balancing home and work. ..at her home in front of the men from the aclu. why shouldn't men be nurses and if women want to fight fires... what about pilots? yeah, again, if women choose to take on these roles... judges? why not? ceos, generals, what about garbage man? do you want to be a garbage man? and if men want to be teachers or raise children... oh, come on. percentages aren't the point. wrong. people should be... wrong! ..able to pursue their passions. wrong, wrong! you're screwing it up, ruth. have you read the appendix attached to their brief? you're making the wrong case these are laws written by men who think we are privileged to be excused from men's obligations, but it is not a privilege, it is a cage and these laws are the bars! so that's it? you're gonna take them
6:27 am
all on at the same time? interesting, isn't it, because the supreme court in america's very much in the news at the moment, under the trump administration, the kavanaugh nomination, and so on... that's right. the row over that. and she's still there — the real ruth bader ginsburg. the ending of the film fades into the present and you see what and important blow she's striking. and the film sort of tries to balance her — racial inequality with sexual inequality, that she's fighting both of these and righting wrongs coming up during the civil rights era. look, it's a very elegant movie. everyone's very good. the clothing is good. the styling is good. something's missing. there's a sort of lack of drama in the courtroom when it builds up to the big case but you can't deny the sort of good intentions of the film and it's a very inspirational, in a way, for young women watching to realise that this it took this woman to create the modern workplace and the modern situation. things aren't perfect yet — obviously — but this went some way to making that situation. and if you had to choose
6:28 am
which of the documentary film and this drama film which would you go for? i would go for the documentary but millions won't. so that's all right. best out at the moment? best out at the moment, there's a documentary out about teddy pendergrass, the soul singer. one of my favourite singers. great new documentary. it's called if you don't know me — named after his big hit, if you don't know me by now. which you'll probably know the simply red version. ido, yeah. this is a great doc about a wonderful soul music from the 70s and that philly sound, but also about the dark tales of the music industry and a lot of sweaty sex appeal in this. because teddy was the guy that lenny henry based theophilus p wildebeeste on. you know that character? yes! this was the guy. teddy had all the knickers thrown at him. is that right? yes. this is him in his vest. he is a super soul sensation. you are a mind of information, i must say, jason. lucky i don't sing for you. well, you could do, if you want to. the best dvd, download? yeah, we're going to netflix for the best today, for chiwetel ejiofor, the actor's directorial debut — the boy who harnessed the wind. which is a really gorgeous tale from africa. a very inspirational tale
6:29 am
about a young boy called william kamkwamba, a real life story, who invented electricity for his village in malawi in 2001 and brought the rains to malawi. it's an african fairytale and yet, directed by chiwetel, has all the sort of politics and corruption and the environmentalism you need in an african tale. i wish it the best. it is very, very earnest but it is very well done indeed. by the end of it you're cheering with the wind itself to get those rains and the water coming to feed the crops. really well performed. a very sweet film. actually, it's a wonderful title, isn't it? the boy who harnessed the wind. it does what it says on the tin. yes. with tin. jason, thank you so much for being with us. pleasure. good to see you. that's it for this week. thanks for watching. good morning. welcome to breakfast with sally nugent

6:33 am
but that welsh crowd, oh my god. it is not very often, we are just talking about actually, it is not very often that the tv translates what the crowd are feeling, the atmosphere, and yesterday you could feel and see it. atmosphere, and yesterday you could feeland see it. up atmosphere, and yesterday you could feel and see it. up until point, england leading, it did look like it was a snack there is to... it was frenetic and it was brutal. -- look like it was theirs to. england had been leading before half time, but warren gatland's side produced a late fightback to win 21—13 at the principality stadium, and they're now the only side in this year's tournament with three wins from three. joe wilson was in cardiff. welcome, said cardiff, to england's team bus. well, kind of. it was a mixed reception with crowds mixing together on the streets, and that's the six nations tradition. look at the young man, front row, every little helps. wales relied on their home advantage to shake england's composure.
6:34 am
but in the melee, tom currie sensed a gap and took it to the line. comes away with it. england led by seven at half—time. wales still behind deep in the second half tried to build, running, passing, crashing, recycling the ball until there was cory hill. in the 68th minute, wales squeezed into the lead. now, the welsh stadium and the welsh players were truly united. louder, higher, stronger. ball in the air and the brilliance ofjosh adams to turn it into another try. 21—13 in 2019, this year's revival of a great rivalry was a classic. and, who can stop wales now? well, when a team is able to win 12 matches in a row,
6:35 am
as these wales players have done, you know they've develeped a kind of instinct for victory. it's so powerful. wow. we felt it here in cardiff. in paris, scotland, in blue, were missing some key players out injured, while france rediscovered some of their spirit, scoring four tries in total for a 27—10 victory. rugby‘s tough enough when you win. it's exhausting to lose. joe wilson, bbc news. so wales keep their grand slam hopes alive by winning their 12th match in a row. it's their longest winning streak since 1910. this is what the coaches made of that result in cardiff. look, it is a pretty special group of boys at the moment. they, in oh, rob evans said to be the other day there is not one person in this squad that i would not want to, in oh, do something for in terms of that how tight they are. they brui group at the moment. it is one of those nip and tuck games. and it is
6:36 am
a game of small margins and we let ourselves down in a couple of areas, they beat us in the area, the penalty count was strongly against us, it ended up 9—3 and that gives the opposition field position and the opposition field position and the chance to score points, and that is what happened. and there was plenty of action in the women's six nations as well. france had a 41—10 victory over scotland. gabrielle vernier helped to seal that win with a hattrick try. scotland have now lost their opening three fixtures in the tournament. italy secured their first six nations victory over ireland with a 29—27 win. giada franco scored the winning try — her second of the game. and wales meet england this afternoon. football now, and some rather heated scenes at burnley as tottenham manager mauricio pochettino confronted the referee following his side's 2—1 defeat at burnley. ashley barnes got the winner seven minutes from time to leave spurs stuck five points behind manchester city and liverpool in the race for the premier league
6:37 am
title, but at the final whistle, pochettino had that heated exchange with mike dean and appeared to be upset by something the referee said to him. the spurs boss says he may apologise for his behaviour. now that we are all relaxed, it is difficult to explain, but i think what happened on the pitch happened on the pitch and we cannot blame anyone, we need to blame ourselves. first, i need to blame myself. when the defeat happened, i wanted is to win but we should be even better on the end and play are self. —— ourself. stoke city's championship home match with aston villa was their first opportunity to pay tribute to their goalkeeping icon gordon banks, who died earlier this month. —— looking ahead to this afternoon then, and liverpool could go back out in front at the top of the premier league table,
6:38 am
but they'll need to get a result against rivals manchester united at old trafford. last time these sides met, it proved to bejose mourinho's last game as united manager, but liverpool will face a very different united side now. they were all good before but now they kind of are all good of confidence and they lose their potential, so that makes a big difference, of course, and that is sometimes how it is, you need some changes and football, it is very often the manager that it helps, but something that helps, in this case, obviously it helps. that match gets under way at 2:05pm and after that, it's the final of the efl cup. manchester city face chelsea at wembley, vying for the first piece of silverware in the men's game this season. now, pep guardiola's side are still on course forfour major trophies. his chelsea counterpart maurizio sarri has been under pressure following some poor results recently, but guardiola says they're a quality side. they are able to take your ball away in 30 or35 they are able to take your ball away in 30 or 35 seconds. normally does not happen, and they are able to do that consistently defensively, and
6:39 am
the spaces to attack, is minor. especially, it it helps a lot with the transitions, they run forwards and backwards really well, and of course, the quality of the players they have. manchester city yesterday picked up the first silverware of the women's domestic season — the continental cup, beating holders arsenal on penalties. the match finished 0—0 after extra time. karen bardsley proved key in the shootout, saving twice. that allowed janine beckie to secure victory as city won 11—2 on penalties. it's now the third time they've won that trophy. chris eubankjunior scored the biggest victory of his career with a unanimous points win over former world champion, james degale. eubankjunior put degale down twice during the super—middleweight contest in london, and afterwards, he described the win as "a statement". meanwhile, 2008 olympic gold medallist degale says he'll to his family about his future,

6:41 am
else is on social media today, just after that last i was caught, there isa after that last i was caught, there is a fantastic reaction, gentleman in the crowd that has been doing the rounds right across social media today, although the reaction of the game, he takes his hat off, close to tea rs, game, he takes his hat off, close to tears, it is worth watching.|j game, he takes his hat off, close to tears, it is worth watching. i was looking at some of the videos as well from cardiff city centre just after the game, it got a little bit messy. i hope he's ok this morning, wales. —— the heads. hollywood is gearing up to host the biggest event of the year this evening. the buildup to the oscars has been marred by controversy, as ever, with questions about diversity, failed attempts to introduce new categories, and it's going without a host for the first time in 30 years. oh, it's all change. the favourite, starring olivia coleman, is up for ten awards and jointly leads the nominations alongside roma. we're joined now from los angeles by hollywood journalist jeanne wolf. morning, evening, hello to you. morning, evening, hello to youm is morning that i have diamonds and
6:42 am
rhinestones in my eyes. so do i. olivia colman, the favourite has just enchanted people, it is a movie thatis just enchanted people, it is a movie that is just enchanted people. i'm not sure that she can win it, rachel weisz does stand a chance of winning, i think. is weisz does stand a chance of winning, ithink. is that weisz does stand a chance of winning, i think. is that you are not sure that olivia colman could win, why do you say that? what is the competition? i really should not say that, it does look like glenn close is a lock for best actress and people thought that lady gaga would be there that you know what? i remember the year when lauren mccall could not lose, and the look on her face when her name was not announced stays in my mind for ever. —— bacall. tomorrow night, the one thing i can absolutely promise you isa thing i can absolutely promise you is a bunch of surprises. no—one knows what is going to happen. this year, it is claiming that the oscars will be different. doesn't feel
6:43 am
different at this point? it feels different at this point? it feels different because there are so many questions up in the air because they are talking about it not having a host, and of course there have been some back and forth controversies. what is different is that this is the one, this is the award everybody aspires to, this is what they dream of growing up and notjust in america, around the world. the oscar is the big one. yes, there are questions about the show and that is, that could prompt more people to watch. the controversy has created kind ofan watch. the controversy has created kind of an awareness and in hollywood, i'm not sure that people ca re hollywood, i'm not sure that people care about all those categories in this and that is, what they care about is that this year's movies, they have actually seen. so i think it is going to be very exciting show. even the red carpet looks different, it is very slick, reflecting the kind of really
6:44 am
fantastical set they have created for the show. in the interview here overin for the show. in the interview here over in the uk in the last few days, kiran knightley said that actually, she felt that harvey weinstein had ruined the oscars, certainly he had ruined the oscars, certainly he had ruined them to her as an experience. do you think in this era, in this post harvey weinstein hero, women will be going to the oscars feeling different about the event?|j will be going to the oscars feeling different about the event? i think everything's different in society right now, everybody is very aware of women's participation, but at night when they count how many women there are or inclusion, most people are looking at how much cleavage they show, how high this that on their dress, on their leg, how big their dress, on their leg, how big the diamond necklace and earrings are that they are wearing. in some ways, it is a very deep and meaningful night and in other ways, it is glamour, it is superficial, it is fashion. let's hope it is fun. let's get down to the nitty—gritty,
6:45 am
who do you think is going to win? well, i would not dare guess. right now, the so—called auzqui gurus, the people are supposed to know, say thatis people are supposed to know, say that is going to be green or maybe green book, but remember, this is very private boating. many, many people with many different opinions. i think there is a while chance it could be black panther, but i think nobody really knows. and actually, thatis nobody really knows. and actually, that is fine and is really fun if there is a movie moving forward.“ fantastic to catch up with you this morning. thank you very much indeed andi morning. thank you very much indeed and i hope you enjoy the rest of your day and this evening, thank you very much. thank u. -- thank you. it is great to see films like black panther in there. i am going to have to do some sort of manic binge watch
