there are britons as well pictures. there are britons as well going out and paying thousands of poundsjust so going out and paying thousands of pounds just so they can have a photo. slaughtering these animals in an enclosure. it's not like they are literally out in the wild. an enclosure. it's not like they are literally out in the wildlj an enclosure. it's not like they are literally out in the wild. i truly don't understand what would drive somebody to want to do that. we see on places like twitter, pictures of these people standing over the carcasses of animals. you just think, what on earth is going through your heads? there is nothing more magnificent than seeing them roaming in the wild. even in a gaming park. michael gove is going to be sharing a meeting on the issue in the next fortnight. i think it's become just too controversial. let's finish. matt has beautifully blended a couple of stories. 50, the cartoon

is ofa a couple of stories. 50, the cartoon is of a police officer talking to a man who appears to have stuck his hands on the wall and he is saying, "this isn't a climate change protest, i've glued myself here so i don't have to finish the marathon on." benedict is going to be walking the length of the marathon in may. if you are running tomorrow, i don't know why you would be up at this time of night, but good luck to anybody. i'm glad you are doing it so anybody. i'm glad you are doing it sol anybody. i'm glad you are doing it so i don't have to. 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 — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you john and benedicte. next on bbc news,

it's the film review. hello there, welcome to the film review here on bbc news. taking us through this week's releases, mark kermode. mark, you got something for everyone this week, haven't you? we have. we have eighth grade, the debut feature from bo burnham. avengers: endgame — the saga comes to a conclusion. and bel canto, a trouble drama starring julianne moore. so, eighth grade. just to be clear — because there's a different system in the united states — this is ia—year—olds? exactly.

it's the end of middle school, and it stars elsie fisher is kayla, a 13—year—old coming to the end of her eighth grade. and she is socially anxious in person. we see these shots of her moving through the corridors of school. everybody else is moving this way, she's moving that way. she finds it quite difficult to communicate with her peers in person. she's crushingly voted "most quiet" in class at the end of the year. but she has a second life online. there is a version of herself that she puts out online in which she posts cute, happy selfies. she does video blogs, vlogs, of self—help videos of how to put yourself out there and how to be more confident, how to be yourself. and the fact that no—one appears to be watching these videos — we see the video count as one, two, five, zero — doesn't matter, because in a way, she's kind of using that to talk to herself. she's also using her phone and her headphones to avoid conversation with her father, because she has brilliantly observed, slightly sort of scrapie relation with her father, who she finds painfully embarrassing. here's a clip.

can you not look like that, please? what? like what? just, like, the way you're looking. looking at the road? you can look at the road, dad! i obviously didn't mean that! just, like, don't be weird and quiet while you do it. sorry. hey, how was the...? no! you were being quiet, which is fine. just, like, don't be weird and quiet. cos, like, i look over at you and i think you're about to drive us into a tree or something. and then i get really freaked out and then i can't text my friends, sojust, like, be quiet and drive and don't look weird and sad. please. 0k. he sighs. that's worse. now don't be weird, mark! the trailer says you're going to fall in love with elsie fisher. do we fall in love with her? i fell in love with the whole film. it's directed by bo burnham,

who started out his career as an internet comedian doing songs, comedy sketches, and many which are very, very brilliant. and what this manages to show you the life of this 13—year—old, who is painfully anxious, who was absolutely beset by anxiety about her peer group. it depicts a life in a completely sympathetic way which understands, for a start, the specifics of her life. bo burnham said that this is a film about a generation who have grown up in a culture they did not create which demands that they put a version of themselves out there online, and he said very specifically when he was receiving one of many awards that it was a generation referred to as somehow self—obsessed, but in fact what they are it's self—conscious. and the brilliant thing about this film is it looks like he's listened to those people. it look like he's actually understood their experience. he gets the specifics of growing up in this generation z, the post—millenial generation. but as with all great coming—of—age movies, if you get the specifics right, the universality will take care of itself.

the real genius of its film is not only that it's funny, and dark, and moving, and heartbreaking, and uplifting, and there is kindness, and there is cruelty all mixed together. but no matter who you are, you can watch this film and see, in that central character, a version of yourself, or someone you understand. i mean, i have nothing in common with that lead character, but the pain and the anguish that she goes through is really, really universal. i think this is one of the best films of the year. it came out in america last year. it was one of the films that barack obama listed as one of his favourite films of 2018. it's really wonderful. and in a week in which we have bigger blockbusters coming out, for me, this is the one to seek out. i think anyone with a beating heart will love this film. this is one of those films like mary poppins which is going to if you don't love this, we don't have anything further to say to each other. a real film for today. speaking of blockbusters, we have avengers: endgame, which is only three hours and one minute long. yes, and a little bit

of that is the credit, but it is pretty much three hours long. this is the end part of infinity war, and it is concluding the saga which is played out over a series of films. it picks up at the and of infinity war, which has ended in disaster, and the beginning of the film is sombre in tone. actually differently sombre, i think. reminded me of things like logan. film is a very much a three—act structure, each act with a very different flavour. i don't want to say anything at all about the plot, because if people want to go and see it at the weekend, don't want to spoil anything. it is very impressive that in the film of this kind of size, of this kind of visual spectacle, with this number of characters that they have to deal with, that actually, what it manages to do is it manages to make you care about the characters when they're on—screen. i laughed more times than i have done in many alleged comedies. there were two moments in the film in which i teared up. bear in mind, i'm not that much emotionally vested in the story, but there were two moments which worked, which struck me

as being universal. i do think that you do have to have seen the previous films. there's always a lot of discussion about, "can i see it?" you can do, but the more of the other ones you have seen, the more invested you are, the more you're going to get out of it. although there are moments because of the sheer elements it is dealing with, it feels perhaps slightly baggy or kind of... it is impressive that through all that, amidst all the visual spectacle, amidst everything else, it is the characters that are actually at the centre of it, and it does have an emotional heart. it has an emotional core and i don't think any fans will feel let down. even i, who is quite emotionally removed from this, was touched by enough to be moved to tears in places. 0k, bel canto, which is a hostage siege south america based on a novel. yes, a very popular novel, which apparently is very good. i haven't read the novel. i have seen the film. julianne moore is an opera singer who agrees to give a highly—paid concert. ken watanabe is the industrialist who is in this country, who is there because he is theoretically going to be involved in building a factory. actually, he's there to julianna moore sing. when guerrillas take over the building, they do so because they think the president is there. when they realise the president isn't there, they realise

that the best asset they have is julianne moore. they wantjulianne moore to sing for them. she won't play ball. here's a clip. the government has turned off the water to this house to make things more uncomfortable for us. i gathered that. we need water. my comrade wants to shoot someone just to show the government who is in charge, but i have another thought. what's that? i want you to sing. i want you to sing loud enough that these animals outside can hear it. what good would that do? it might remind them what is at stake. 0h. no. i won't sing. not for you. he says to do what you're told. 0h. or what, he'll shoot me?

you kept one woman, one american, una americana. if you shoot me, what do you think will happen to you and your people? i don't think i need to do what you say. i have to say with such a huge amount of international talent on screen, and julianne moore, who i think is generally wonderful, and it was based on a well—respected book, it's a shame that the film itself is so misjudged. it seemed to be, on the one hand torn between being a serious trauma and on the other hand, being a soap opera. there's a subplot about the president not being there because he is staying at home to watch a soap opera on television. i have to say on some points, you think that is what you're watching. i did go into it, thinking, this is good quality actors and good quality stuff, and then just sitting there thinking, "at what point is this going to stop looking like a creaky television drama?" the answer is, never. it's a real shame because, as i said, i'm a big fan of many of the people involved, but it is a real disappointment. oh, dear. all right. thank you. best out? from me, mid—905.

a film you'll really struggle to find in theatres. a coming—of—age drama byjonah hill. a companion piece to eighth grade. also very empathetic. some have compared it to kids, but it's clearly different because it's made by somebody who actually understands the kids. i know you're a big fan also of... wild rose! jessie buckley! it's a such a great story about someone using country music to speak those inner truths — three chords and the truth, which country music is meant to be. i think it gets right to the heart of that and it's uplifting. i've seen it with a crowd. people really do end up punching the air, and a lovely cameo by whispering bob harris! one of the very few people who has earned the right to play himself in utterly glowing terms, because he really is that nice. she's a great actress, and a belting voice. have you seen beast? she is so brilliant. she is really, really terrific in that. and lastly, best dvd. being frank, the chris sievey story.

i know if you ever saw frank sidebottom play live... i had the great honour of sharing stage with frank sidebottom. this is chris sievey, who was a sort of brilliant sort of pop song composer who was in a great pop band that never got the recognition they deserve, and suddenly achieved unexpected fame as frank sidebottom, a character wearing a papier—mache head and talking as if he had a nose clip on his nose. and it's a really brilliantly made movie, because it has absolutely brilliant archive footage. it is made out of absolute love and affection for chris sievey, and the way this alter ego sort of became something he never expected it to be. i thought it was really moving and really touching. love it when you talk through your nose, mark. thank you very much! thank you very much. that is it for this week. thank you so much for watching. from both of us, goodbye. hello, good evening. you may be pleased to hear that the second half of this weekend is likely to be a

lot less turbulent than the last. heavy rain and storms in places today. swell of cloud and deep area of low pressure. this low is becoming less intense and sliding out into the north sea so things are slowly but surely improving. much of the rain easing away as well. we will keep one or two showers particularly across east of england north england, wales and the midlands. temperature is not dropping too far but parts of northern ireland could scrape a touch of frost. still showers around tomorrow, particularly across eastern parts of england and also some cloud into northern ireland and the far south—west and western parts of wales bringing patchy rain. elsewhere, dry weather, spells of sunshine, wins considerably lighter and asa sunshine, wins considerably lighter and as a consequence, temperature is higher, 12 — i6 and as a consequence, temperature is higher, 12 — 16 degrees. —— winds. temperature is close to 20 degrees. that's all from me, good night.

this is bbc news, i'm kasia madera. our top stories: a race against time — president trump urges people as shooting at a synagogue leaves one person dead and several injured. police say a man has been arrested. as the officer placed the 19—year—old man into custody, he clearly saw a radical sitting there. ongoing security fears across sri lanka. cyclone kenneth has entirely wiped out some villages in mozambique, according to the un. thousands are living in makeshift shelters. and easter celebrations
