impaired, neil simpson, visually impaired, that mistake when he and his brother andrew, also his guide, had to settle for ninth in the slalom. britain finishing with a total of six medals. the team of this games has been ukraine. simply getting to beijing was a miracle, but gold in the cross country meant they finished a remarkable second in the medals table. president zelensky said the team had shown the world what strength ukrainians have. the war has overshadowed these games but as they drew to a close, the head of the paralympics described the athletes a champions piece. humankind hopes to live in a world of where dialogue prevails. our movement, the paralympic movement hopes are world leaders be inspired by the actions of paralympians. find by the actions of paralympians. and with that, beijing's flame was finally extinguished. a colourful

ending to a games of unprecedented challenges. andy swiss, bbc news. that's all from sports day, coming up that's all from sports day, coming up next, it is the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news and taking us through this week's cinema releases we have mark kermode. what do you have for us this week? a proper mixed bag. something for everyone. we have turning red

which is the new disney pixar film. we have red rocket, which is the new movie by sean baker who made tangerine and florida project. and we have great freedom which was austria's entry for the 94th oscars. so, turning red is kind of a fantasy animation, teenager turning into a red panda. 13—year—old girl from a chinese family in toronto suddenly discovers that powerful emotions turn her into a red panda. powerful emotions such as those aroused by the arrival of a boy band who are coming to play a gig in her town. suddenly wakes up, discovers she's transformed into a red panda. breakfast is ready. no sugar. coming! porridge. aaaaah! this isn't happening!

wake up, wake up, wake up! don't come in yet! don't come in here! what's going on, honey? are you sick? is it a fever? stomachache? chills? constipation? no! wait, is it that? did the red peony bloom? no! maybe... ? so, it's a family trait passed down through generations and the only way to do anything about it is to have a ritual, a red moon ritual that will tame the beast and contain it. but the ritual has to happen on the same night as the gig of the boy band that she is particularly fond of. this is directed by domee shi who made the oscar winning short bao which i really, really liked. it's got eye—popping set pieces and it, kind of, really captures both the exuberance of the anxiety of, really captures

both the exuberance and the anxiety of being an adolescent. that kind of, giddy, scary thing, your world is out of control. it also, as you saw it in that clip there, with subjects like menstruation. which traditionally, animated films have kind of stayed away from. but it does it very sensitively and very naturally. it shouldn't be a big deal, but it kind of is and congratulations to the film for taking that on. so, it does the thing that the best animations do which is to use and out of this world fantasy to talk about down—to—earth realities, realities that the audience will recognise. i thought it was funny, witty and charming and very well done. it is going straight to disney plus. it's not getting a cinematic release. as i said, this is like soul and luca have both done that. covid definitely changed the way in which people watch films. it's a major release, but it's going straight to streaming service. but it's well worth seeing. is the idea of that to boost disney plus? you know, nowadays, cinema releases are not going to be for everything and obviously, disney plus wanted on the plus wanted it on the streaming service.

i think more and more, you're going to see some movies released in cinemas, but not all of them. and it doesn't mean that it's not worthy of cinema releases, just means it's going straight to streaming. let's talk about red rocket now. which is kind of a comedy drama, a washed up veteran male adult film performer, otherwise known as a former porn star, i guess. yes, nicely handled. this is directed by sean baker who did tangerine and the florida project. simon rex is mikey sabre who comes back from la where he has been working to texas city. he bangs on the door of his wife, somehow manages to fandango his way back into the house and sets himself up dealing marijuana and then sets about trying to persuade and then sets about trying to persuade a 17—year—old who he meets at the local doughnut hall to come and work with him in the adult film industry. she's about to be 18. the film was inspired by, sean baker met a number of people when he making a previous film, people called "suitcase pimps". these are basically men who live off female talent. what sean baker said

was when he met them, they were kind of charming and gregarious and the minute you're away from them, you realise, they're kind of terrible people and say some terrible things and do some terrible things. what's really interesting about red rocket is, it's a film that, it's not overtlyjudgemental. you meet this character at first, he's funny and intriguing and then you realise that he is completely selfish in everything he does. he takes no responsibility for anything he does. he thinks only about his own life. meanwhile in the background, it's 2016, trump is on the television and there maga posters everywhere and i think the film makes very clear what it's stance is for what's clever about it is, you find yourself laughing at the beginning and then that laughter becomes very, very uneasy, very, very queasy as you find out, i think sean baker, this character who was initially charming is actually pretty toxic. so, it's a very interesting drama. i think some people will find it very uncomfortable. i was surprised in the screening i was in, people kept laughing long

beyond what i thought was funny. so, it's up to each viewer to make theirjudgment on it. it is very well deserved. it is very well observed. let's talk about great freedom. this is in postwar germany. not freedom for everybody, even though germany has been liberated. the title is deeply ironic. it was austria's submission that won the jury prize where was also nominated. central character is being sent to prison for being gay because of the law at that point. and the story moves backwards and forwards in time between 1945 and 1969, the moon landings and the change of the law. and we find out that he has spent an awful lot of his time in prison. here's a clip.

so, he has been in and out of prison and during that, he has befriended victor who you saw at the end of the clip. and i thought it was really, really quite profound. it does that thing that

some of the best do. it takes a personal situation in a personal story and this historical sweep, it's about legal status of sexuality in the way in which a character's or empathic flicks the changing nature of the world around them. it's also very moving, beautifully shot. and at the centre of it is this electrifying performance which is very vulnerable, very engaging, very, very understated. i think with the drama manages to do as it makes the specific universal. you can watch this and you can find a universal truth and the specifics of the story. i thought it was really moving. it's in cinemas, it's worth seeing in cinemas and get it will be in the movie streaming service in may. if you see it in cinema because the cinematography deserves a darkened auditorium to really appreciate it. well worth seeing. a movie that we talked about last week.

ally and ava, this is the new film, have you seen this yet? go see it. it is so great. it is a realist story in many ways, it's a love letter to bradford. a romance that is played out, it has musical sequences and it. and people burst into dense, but not like out of keeping with naturalism, the dance actually happens in the drama. after is coming up and an outstanding british film in what i loved about it is the film is brave enough to concentrate on the positive aspects of people. it's essentially about kindness, about people being nice to each other,. not too many of those films around. and a terribly unfashionable subject. honestly, it's just lovely, really lovely. well worth seeing. and best on streaming at the moment?

a daft, enjoyable sci—fi and travelling thing. ryan reynolds, is coming back to the past because he lost his wife, he crash lands in the present previous 12—year—old self and so, a bit of close encounters, bit of et, back to the future, stranger things. but what makes it works is ryan reynolds who does that thing, he meets his 12—year—old self played by young actor who brilliantly does an impression of ryan reynolds playing the character. and so, he has of the sci—fi stuff, he's got spectacular set pieces and what i like is, the central conceit of him meeting his 12—year—old self and finding his 12—year—old self and sing them really annoying. and this is directed by the same guy who worked with him on free guy. it's a mashup of things that you have seen before. it's kind of entertaining. it's a friday night film, you know.

you're at home, your tired, oh, let's watch that on netflix. i have to pick you up on what his recommendations. which is spencer. i liked spencer. i hated it! why did you hate? do you think it was a very sympathetic portrait of diana. the picture her as if she's trapped in the gilded cage of the drama and i thought that kristen stewart's performance which has been rightly recognised. i thought her performance was brilliant. the score for which you have been nominated, should been nominated for that score in which he took a classical orchestra and the replace the one by one with jazz musicians to suggest an ordered world falling apart. i would say what's wrong with that. i could go on for another hour. we do not always trust mark kermode's recommendations

but most of the time, we do. but that is all the time we have heard today. goodbye. hello. after a weekend that brought sunshine and showers to the uk, we have let prospects to come. sunday night into monday, low pressure still to the north—west of the uk. still doing the business and we will see further showers for northern ireland and western scotland into the small hours of monday. reign mcclay from eastern england. keeping an eye on the south—west of england with showers feeding up from the south and they could be accompanied by the odd rumble of thunder into the small hours. light winds and a few packets of frost around on monday. a chilly star but the start of the day with actually a lot of sunshine. it is as the day goes on

we will see cloud spreading out across southern england, she was pushing into the south midlands and east anglia. right afternoon for northern ireland.
