hello, everyone. secretary would have been this is newsday on the bbc. justice secretary would have been able to smuggle it past the cabinet i'm rico hizon in singapore. without the enormous destruction of the headlines: kimjong—un is on his way to hanoi exit. it is surprising that this to meet donald trump for their second summit. will progress be made think tank has come out against it, towards the denuclearisarion of north korea? i thought it was widely accepted that short—term prison sentences served no purpose, and doing it is just a great way to teach people how victims of clerical sexual abuse to be better criminals, there is the type rehabilitations if you are in prison for such a short time, you have said pope francis's promise just pick up, as i say, tips about to protect children from paedophile how to be a better criminal from priests is a stunning let—down. i'm kasia madera in london. those around you. obviously they also in the programme: have a different take on it. the colombia says more than a hundred venezuelan soldiers have deserted — as political pressure builds community sentences are necessarily have to be soft, do they? we have 30 on president maduro. and — lights — cameras — awards. seconds left to ask whether either of you is left—handed. seconds left to ask whether either it's hollywood's big night, of you is left-handed. nope. no. but who will be celebrating at the oscars? according to the times, lefties make a better fist when they are live from our studios fighting. i thought this was to do in singapore and london, with politics when i first read it. a p pa re ntly with politics when i first read it. apparently lefties should have died out by now, according to evolution. it is selling convenient to be left—handed but why do they still exist? now the boffins tell us they are better fighters, therefore exist? now the boffins tell us they are betterfighters, therefore they have a reason for them to survive

and to carry on. time is up, so i'm going to wave my left hand and say thank you for that. thank you, ruth, thank you for that. thank you, ruth, thank you, rob. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. so jason, what do we have this week? we are in colorado for the

controversial we are in colorado for the controversial which finds in revenge. we on the streets of beirut if you have tears to shed. this is a film about a boy and a baby on the main streets. and we are also in revenge. we on the streets of beirut if you have tears to shed. this is a film about a boy and a baby on the mean streets. and we are also rpg, ruth bailey ginsberg as scales of injustice plays her that rates the scales of this is this is she dropped theirs in the middle of a junket. 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. he was talking about revenge

because he does nothing but star in these grim revenge dramas. it started with taken and now he's dealing with another one called cold pursuit. he's in a luxury ski resort. his son is mixed up with some drug dealers and is murdered and liam starts to take matters into his own hands. there are criminals with silly names. he goes to his brother—in—law who is also a little bit dodgy to find out more about the underworld. kyle. you got mixed up with some clown by the name of dante and they stole a kilo 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. 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? wraps them in chicken wire, threw them on the gorge. where'd you learn that? i read it in a crime novel. as you say, he does specialise in revenge movies. they must be popular for the producers to keep making them. the man they pick, he's got this cheerlessness that has set in. they are politically incorrect most of the time. albanian gangsters all over the place. this one, leaves a nasty taste in the mouth because of the publicity that it has garnered. it's a rather flippant movie about violence and revenge. he starts shooting people wearing that furry coat wherever he goes even to a nightclub.

they're supposed to be humour in it, but because of that interview, i couldn't find anything to laugh at. i thought, this is really important. the film is going for a black humour in a matter of a coen brothers, oi’ even every member last year's oscars. it doesn't have the wit or the politics of that. it has liam piling up bodies while this car crash of an interview sanders in the background. this is the sort of movie that thinks it's amusing, because there's so much body count to list the cast in order of disappearance. that's the level of humour. you wonder whether that awful publicity, people might not go to cx?

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. 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. 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 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 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 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 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 evening. what a weekend it has been. exceptionally high temperatures. the highest temperatures. the highest temperature today was 19.1 degrees in west wales and that is a new record for wales in february. more to come over the next few days. warm sunny days at cold frosty nights. pretty chilly out there. foggy

mornings and then it will become more on settled later on in the week. but not just more on settled later on in the week. but notjust yet. a dry and chilly night to start the week. well below freezing in one or two places. not as cold in north—west scotland, the spot of rain here. some fog patches. could turn misty stock especially in north—east england. could be quite dense and slow to clear tomorrow morning. for the most pa rt clear tomorrow morning. for the most part tomorrow is another beautiful date with blue skies and sunshine. i will show you the temperatures at, pretty surprising. 12 places could get to 19 degrees. nine would be far more typical. low pressure still sitting with us. chester could be quite chilly. again we are expecting lots of sunshine. cloud and the odd spot of rain across western scotland

but temperatures still a good few degrees higher than they should be. wednesday morning, more fog patches just about anywhere. some could be dense and slow to clear but it should and if you dig at sunshine on wednesday, all your temperatures will be quite similar to where they have been in the last few days. on thursday, the rain for some rain for some of us will not increasing the chance of a breezy weather and turning cooler towards the weekend. good night.
