hello, this is bbc news. hello and welcome to the headlines... senior conservatives have been the film review on bbc news. 10 or 11 degrees. holding talks with mrs may across the south and south—east, at her chequers country retreat to take us through this week's on how to deliver brexit 13 celsius and a glorious afternoon. following reports of a cabinet coup cinema releases is mark kermode. throughout much of next week, high pressure dominates the scene. so mark, what is showing at we will be tapping into some drier to oust the prime minister. air off the near continent the kermode picture house this week? so we should see quite a bit david lidington, who's in effect of sunshine through next week so we have the white crow, and temperatures will respond, the deputy prime minister, which is an early—life biopic turning very mild in places has rejected claims he's being lined about rudolf nureyev. by the end of the week. up to replace mrs may. i don't think i have any wish we have us, the new film to take over from the pm who i think is doing a fantasticjob. byjordan peel, who made get out. i'll tell you this, one thing that working closely and minding the gap, with the prime minister does is cure a skateboarding documentary that's you completely of any not really about skateboarding. lingering shred of ambition to want to do that task. the white crow — i'm quite a 54—year—old shop worker has been stabbed to death intrigued, it sounds really good. in north—west london, following a robbery early this morning. yes, an interesting story directed police say the till was stolen by ralph fiennes who also has a role in the film, and it's about rudolf nureyev‘s from the newsagents in pinner. defection to the west. the film opens with fiennes‘s character pushkin being asked the main findings of what he knows and why special counsel robert mueller‘s did this happen? report into alleged collusion between the trump campaign he says very enigmatically and russia during the 2016 us that he wasn't political, prededential elections are expected it was all to do with dance. to be published in the coming hours. he says he had an explosion of

character, which is a great phrase. —— presidential elections. the film then retraces itself a cruise liner that ran into trouble and we see the progress of this kid off the coast of norway has reached from a fairly impoverished port after hundreds of passengers were winched to safety. it was the daring wartime prison break—out that inspired background who makes his way up a hit hollywood film, and today marks the 75th anniversary of the great escape. the tree and comes to dance with the kirov who then go to paris where he sees paris and kind of falls in love with it, to some extent, is seduced by it, which is something the russian authorities are not happy with at all. later this half hour, here's a clip. it's the film review. now on bbc news it's everything is ok, don't worry, don't worry. time for sportsday. stay with me, pierre, stay. they're trying to kidnap me. keep it calm, please. look, look, look, look, hello and welcome to sportsday. if this is a punishment... i'm damian johnson. it's not a punishment. coming up on the programme... can i just say, if this fans vent their anger as scotland is because rudy spent time hanging claim their first euro 2020 out with me and my friends, qualifiying win but it's another can i say, never did rudy say one lacklustre showing against minnows san marino. word against his country, against his government, or against the company. never, not one single word, ever. 0k, 0k, just keep it under control, 0k? danjames is prince of wales, crowning his first competitive start with a first international goal it's ok. and victory as they open their euro

qualifying campaign. and bath are bossed by the chiefs as exeter extend their lead at the top of the premiership and confirm their play—off place. and 0leg ivenko is the star, also ahead... and i gather ralph fiennes scoured the former soviet union looking there's a thrilling climax in prospect in the snooker‘s for somebody to play nureyev. tour championship final in llandudno he needed somebody who could dance, where ronnie o'sullivan leads neal robertson by 9—8 because he said if you were going to get a body double in, it would double the time of the film in the final session. and the budget of the film. so they needed someone who could dance. as you can see from the clip, i think he is very charismatic on camera. he is a good actor and gives you that sense of, on the one hand everything that's attractive about nureyev‘s character, but also everything that is dangerous about it. because what the film is really about is east and west, control and rebellion. angry scotland supporters booed their team after they toiled so at the centre of it is ballet to a 2—0 euro qualifiying victory which of course is something over the world's lowest ranked which requires really strict discipline, something international side, san marino. the russians are very strong on. but he is a rebellious spirit, it was an insipid scotland he's told at one point, performance who were beaten 3—0 you're not technically very good, actually, in some ways by another international minnow kazakhstan last week. joe lynskey reports.

of more than of more than 200 football nations, san marino are bottom of the pile, the team officially the worst in the world with scotland's route back to redemption. a match where only goals and lots of them would make amends but it took only three minutes for scotla nd but it took only three minutes for scotland to leave some kazakhstan memories behind. kenny mclean nodding in for the early settler. but the breakthrough did not bring a barrage and in fact san marino nearly got in for their first home goal in six years. this is a part—time player and labourer by trade who just missed the target. at half—time, 1—0 was underwhelming. the scotland fans were keen show it. a match meant to be a walkover had become a tough watch but finally, with 17 minutes to go, scotland settled the nerves with a shimmy around the goalkeeper, johnny russell blowing off the tension. 2—0

this time enough to beat the part—timers but maybe not enough to silence the critics. wales have made a winning start to their euro 2020 qualifying campaign with victory over slovakia in cardiff. a first international goal for swansea city's danjames was enough to secure three points for manager ryan giggs who handed james his first competitive start. joe wilson was watching. close your eyes and you could almost be back at the six nations. but open them quick because the footballers of wales started this match at lightning pace, the breakfrom brooks, even when the slovakian defenders got the ball, danjames was too strong and too good. a first start for wales, a first goalfor wales! danjames! fifth minute of the game, first goalfor wales fifth minute of the game, first goal for wales first goal for wales for a 21—year—old. the kids got ryan giggs to his feet, the manager could not have done much better.

there was danjames running down the wing, turning and tormenting and when the cross came out of the shadows, harry wilson missed. 1—0 is never secure and slovakia put wales under increasing pressure in the closing stages but the ball stayed out, wales hung on, up and running in qualifying and the autograph which mattered in cardiff was eight letters long. dan james. northern ireland, meanwhile, play belarus in belfast tonight. it's a big game for them in qualifying with games against the netherlands and germany still to come. we're in a good place and sitting here ready to play but we think belarus will come and make life difficult for us again. but we think they will maybe have more of a threat on the counterattack than estonia showed in the game. but we will give them the respect they deserve. they've had a good nations league. they've already guaranteed a play—off for euro 2020 so we have to respect that.

one the fiercest rivalries in international football resumes this evening. netherlands host germany in a euro 2020 qualifier in amsterdam. last november the dutch drew with the germans, a result which saw ronald koeman‘s side reachjune‘s nations league finals and their neighbours relegated to group b of the competition. the netherlands have been in great form of late and have lostjust two of their past 11 games since koeman took over as boss and won their opening qualifier against belarus in the week 4—0. germany, meanwhile, have won just one of their past seven competitive games. we know the qualities of the players and maybe they are changing different things in the team and maybe they need some more time. but it is a special game, a special game always between holland and germany. and we are lucky, in the last one, in the draw, the 2—2. 0k, we need to be at our best to beat germany. arsenal's women are a step closer

to theirfirst league title in seven years. they have moved to the top of the super league after beating liverpool 5—1 at prenton park. beth mead scored twice for arsenal, with vivienne miedema rounding off the win late on with arsenal's fifth — her 20th league goal of the season. arsenal a point clear of second placed manchester city, with four games to go. in the day's other match, bristol city women beat everton ladies 1—0. exeter chiefs confirmed their place in the premiership play—offs with a 29—10 win over bath. exeter captain jack yeandle scored the pick of the tries running a perfect line for dan armand's inside pass. the win means exeter extend their lead at the top of the premiership to nine points. a couple of games in rugby league's super league to tell you about. george williams scored a hat—trick of tries as champions wigan got only their second win of the season. they beat salford 30—22.

and hull fc are back in the top half of the table after they held off a late london broncos comeback to win 28—24. to tennis, where the third round of the miami 0pen is under way, with british number one kyle edmund in action against canadian milos raonic. raonic took an early lead but 19th seed edmund came back to take the first set 6—4, with a fine forehand winner. it's currently tied 4—1; in the second set. to cricket's indian premier legaue and the kolkata knight riders defeated sunrisers hyderabad by six wickets. the game saw david warner return to the ipl. the former australia vice—captain scored a blistering 85 ofjust 53 balls, while england's jonny bairstow added 39 for the sunrisers but ultimately it was a losing cause. kolkata knight riders chased down their target of 182, winning by six wickets with two balls to spare. it's been a good morning for england's women, they have beaten sri lanka in the first international twenty20 of a three—match series.

henry moeran was watching in columbo. this first t20 followed the pattern of the previous one—day internationals. england were dominant and ruthless. they ensured victory in double quick time. they bowled the hosts out for 94. linsey smith's 3—18 were the standout figures. two wickets on debut for freya davies, who performed in england colours for the first time. england have two more games left in the subcontinent and they are on some run. this win makes it eight out of eight for england since defeat in the first couple of 0dis against india last month. it is the best run they have been on since their victorious 2017 world cup campaign. if they can make it ten from ten, it would represent a fine end to the winter and the perfect momentum going into an ashes summer.

the final of snookers tour championship is reaching an exciting climax in llandudno. australian neil robertson won five of the eight frames in the afternoon session to level the match at 8—8. ronnie 0'sullivan struck first this evening, though, winning the first frame with a break of 129. robertson has just pulled it back, though, to level it at 9—9. it's the the first to 13 and if 0'sullivan wins he'll be the new world number one. there's been double british success on the final evening of cycling's six—day series in manchester. katie archibald has been crowned the general classification champion, while jack carlin beat fellow brit and olympic championjason kenny in a tight finish to become the sprint champion. and tottenham fans have had theirfirst look at what the match experience will be at their new stadium with a first game being played there this afternoon. the test event saw spurs‘ under 185 side played southampton, with manager mauricio pochettino in attendance and saying it'll have a massive positive effect on the players and the club. the spurs first team is scheduled

finally to play their first match at the new ground in the first week of april. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening, now though on the news channel it's time for the film review.
