it was one of the most eagerly anticipated fights in womens boxing and last night the bout between katie taylor and natasha jonas certainly did not disappoint. the pair, who fought as amateurs back at the london 2012 olympics went ten very even rounds but katie taylorjust managed to cling on to maintain her undefeated record and remain as the undisputed world lightweight champion just a reminder of our top story tonight before we leave, manchester united's premier league game against liverpool has been postponed following protest at old trafford. around 200 fans got onto the pitch to protest against the glazers�*s ownership of manchester united. thousands gathered outside making

clear their feelings following the collapse of the controversial european super league. bbc sport, our correspondentjoe wilson telling us most of the protests were peaceful but a minority put our fans, staff and police at risk according to authorities. we will keep you updated on that. one premier league game tonight, kicking off at 7:15pm. i will be back in an hour but next up it is the film review. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best new movies available for viewing in the home while we look forward to cinemas reopening in a few weeks.

at the recent 93rd academy awards, chinese film—maker chloe zhao became only the second woman ever to win the oscar for best director, repeating kathryn bigelow�*s hurt locker triumph when nomadland also won best picture. ijust looked up the value on your van. with that high a mileage, you're looking about $5,000 at the most. i'd probably recommend taking that money and putting it towards a different vehicle. no, well, i can't do that. i can't do that. see? cos... all right. i spent a lot of time and money building the inside out, - and a lot of people don't understand the value of that. _ but it's not something like... i live in there. it's my home. frances mcdormand, earning her third

best actress oscar, stars as fern, community, discovering a new life on the road. here, she meets people who found a different way of living and starts to reassess her own past, present and future. we workhorses had to gather together and take care of each other. and that's what this is all about. accepting her oscar, zhao noted that "i have always found goodness in the people i've met everywhere i went in the world." that's a sentiment that runs throughout her third feature, a tone poem with western genre inflections, inspired byjessica bruder�*s nonfiction 2017 book, finding rich seams of human kindness running deep within the margins of society. one of the things i love most about this life, there's no final goodbye. we just say, "i'll see you down the road." and i do. building on the experiences of her previous films,

songs my brothers taught me and the rider, zhao here mixes seasoned professionals like mcdormand and david strathairn with screen first—timers playing close to home, lending a real authenticity to the proceedings. beautifully lensed by dp joshua james richards, who captures the harsh beauty of the midwest, nomadland is a wide—screen experience that will be in uk cinemas from may 17. in the meantime, you can find it online on disney+. from the sublime to the ridiculous, with wild mountain thyme, a ripe slice of cod irish whimsy that makes the fluffy �*90s charmer waking ned look like a hard—hitting ken loach documentary and gives the 2010 stinker leap year a run for its money as the most preposterous tosh ever to grace the emerald isle. anthony!

are you all right? i'm fine. what were you doing out there? fishing. that was fishing? yeah. emily blunt and jamie dornan are star—crossed pair rosemary and anthony, who grew up on neighbouring farms and who were clearly made for each other, despite anthony's bizarre inability to pop the question. would you marry me? enterjon hamm's american relative adam, who quickly gets the hots for rosemary and her land after being offered the chance to buy the family farm, which anthony's father feels he is ill—suited to inherit. i don't see a clear path. from where to where? from me to you. the fact that anthony's rural irish father is played by native new yorker christopher walken should set alarm bells ringing, not least because walken�*s screen accents generally range from queens to brooklyn to manhattan's little italy, with the occasional hint of second—generation sicilian

gangster, perhaps, but essentially not going beyond the boundaries of the five boroughs. indeed, from the moment walken�*s narrator tony riley says... welcome to ireland. ..you know you're about to spend the next 90 minutes in the company of somebody doing the worst irish accent since a ginger—haired mickey rourke uttered the immortal words... i saw myself laying on the street, dying, not wanting to die. ..in the toe—curling �*80s thriller a prayerfor the dying. that man was mad as the full moon, drowned himself. although wild mountain thyme may have been largely shot in scenic county mayo, with the support of screen ireland, walken�*s accent takes us on a madcap tour that swings from the hollywood highlands of brigadoon, to the australian—american merriment of tom and nicole in far and away, via the horrors of sean connery�*s crimes against language in darby o'gill and the little people. is it putting a coward's name on me, you are? ah, no, no. as for the rest of the film,

which is adapted by oscar, pulitzer and tony award winner john patrick shanley, it's a mix of rom—com cliches and "pinch me so i know i'm not dreaming" plot contrivances that seem to have been cooked up after a night on the ale in one of those terrible theme pubs where drunken americans sing along to the pogues while loudly reminiscing about a country that they claim to love but have never actually been to. my god in heaven, you look the worse for it. well, thanks much. you don't look perfect yourself. you can find outjust how bad it is for yourself from all major uk digital retailers. after the car—crash insanity of wild mountain thyme, there's something almost reassuringly boring about without remorse, a plodding thriller adapted from tom clancy's �*90s novel of the same name. we fought for what america could be. but they crossed the line. they brought that war into my house. that contract is broken.

they're going to play by my rules now. michael bjordan stars as navy seal john kelly, akajohn clark, who finds himself the target of an assassination plot, picking off members of the squad with whom he undertook a rescue operation in war—torn syria. having lost his wife and unborn child, kelly embarks — without remorse — on hunting down the killers, putting him at loggerheads with the russians and americans alike, as everybody double crosses everybody else and all problems are solved by running, punching, shooting, shouting, stabbing and generally blowing things up, much like the rainbow six video games to which this owes a debt. did you know russia was dealing weapons out of aleppo when we went in? we had a feeling. you can't fault the pedigree of this amazon original movie, with the charismaticjordan — star of black panther and creed — being joined on screen by the likes ofjodie turner—smith, who was electrifying in queen and slim, guy pearce — currently wowing audiences

in the sky series mare of easttown — and the infinitely versatile jamie bell. i need to be on that team. yet somehow director stefano sollima, whose previous credits include the gomorrah tv series and the big screen sicario sequel, squanders their talents, delivering a lumpen actioner that trudges drearily from one set piece to the next, with lots of huffing and puffing but zero emotional engagement. for all the on—screen fireworks, this lackluster affair fails to generate any real dramatic sparks. it's available now on amazon prime video. if you want something that really gets under your skin, then let me direct you instead to the extraordinary mexican drama identifying features. directed and co—written by fernanda valadez,

the film follows magdalena, searching for her son, who went missing en route to the us border. meanwhile, another young man is deported from the us and finds himself in the same militia—ridden badlands to which magdalena is led. together, they search for lost family members, finding common cause amid a landscape that can be both beautiful and terrifying. the winner of several international festival prizes, including an audience award at sundance, this riveting directorial feature debut marks valadez as a major film—making talent. it's an astonishingly assured and adventurous piece that mixes personal and political elements, in a narrative that is part—thriller, part—heartbreaking family saga and part—magical realist horror story — a descent into the inferno that has its feet firmly on the ground, even as it crosses the border

into fantastical nightmare. haunting cinematography by claudia becerril and a soul—shakingly eerie score by claricejensen completes the picture, making this a must see. you can find identifying features exclusively on bfi player. i'll leave you with news of something altogether more upbeat, the animated fantasy the mitchells vs the machines, which is new to netflix. the last humans must be here somewhere. wait. they're coming. is that a burnt—orange 1993 station wagon? who are these unstoppable warriors? we're the mitchells, the only people who can save the world.

super sorry, everyone. co—produced by phil lord and christopher miller, the geniuses behind the lego movie, the film plays out in a world in which robots derived from next—generation mobile technology are taking over the planet, led by a tetchy ai named pal, voiced by olivia colman. you treated me like this! swipe, poke, poke. humanity�*s only hope is the mitchells, a typically dysfunctional nuclear family, with old—fashioned dad, heroic mum, dinosaur—obsessed son and daughter katie, whose dreams of film school have been inconveniently interrupted by the annoying robot apocalypse. packed with smart gags about modern addictions — hey, who could have guessed that big tech companies didn't have our best interests at heart — and boasting the same comic tension between high—voltage action and small—time family squabbling

that made the incredibles such a treat, the mitchells vs the machines put a smile on my face from start to finish. so we just do that, right? at times, i was reminded of the oddball charm of the diary of a wimpy kid books, to which this owes an inspirational debt. it certainly passed the "six laughs" test with flying colours. you can find it on netflix. that's it for this week. thanks for watching the film review. stay safe and i'll see you next week. how about we put our phones down and we can make ten seconds of unobstructed family eye contact? see, this is good right here. this is natural.

good evening. the weekend sunshine and showers will be replaced by something considerably wetter and when they are as this area of low pressure is expected to arrive through the night and change the weather story for a bank holiday monday. ahead of it the daytime showers we see will start to ease away. drierspells showers we see will start to ease away. drier spells for a time clouding overfrom away. drier spells for a time clouding over from the western through the early hours of monday morning the rain arrives into northern ireland. because of the cloud around the temperature stays above freezing so a frost restart to monday and the rain continues to drive in from the west through the morning across northern ireland into southern scotland, northern england and wales. perhaps not reaching the south—east and east anglia until the end of the day and may not reach the far north of scotland at all but it will be a windy day with gusts of wind in excess of 50, 60 mph at exposed coasts and that will exacerbate the cold and miserable feel for the afternoon.

this is bbc news the headlines at seven. people in england may not need to self—isolate if they've been in close contact with someone with coronavirus. daily rapid tests will be offered as an alternative to ten days quarantine. you want to get to a position at the end ofjune where we can get life back as close to normal as possible. but there will still need to be some safeguards in place. the foreign office plays down any suggestion aid worker nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is to be released, after iran's state tv claimed the uk had paid to secure it. manchester united's match against liverpool — which could have decided the premier league title, is postponed after fans — opposed to the club's oweners — invade the pitch at old trafford. in liverpool, after friday night's rave — now a concert in sefton park as 5,000 people attend the latest large—scale event in the government's
