7:30 pm
and again, those temperatures in the low 205. enjoy. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: prince charles is reported to have described the government's rwanda asylum scheme as �*appalling' — one conservative mp says more understanding of the policy is required. he is entitled to his view, as is anyone else. but a number of the views that have been made about rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme and what migrant experience has been like. the family of shaun pinner — a british man sentenced to death forfighting russian forces — say he should be given all the rights of a prisoner of war, including full independent legal representation. the maximum interest rate

on student loans in england is being cut by almost 5%. ministers hope it will provide "peace of mind" for graduates. as you can see, this eye is not blinking... and singerjustin bieber reveals the reason he cancelled his performances this week — he's experiencing facial paralysis. more from me at the top of the hour but now on bbc news — it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. a repeat of last summer's euros final — but it's behind closed doors for england as they take on italy in the nations league. a masterclass from mitchell as new zealand cruise past 500 on day two of the second

7:34 pm
pitch, the world cup later this year, so things have not been going their way so far in this section of their way so far in this section of the nations leave?— their way so far in this section of the nations leave? they have not been going _ the nations leave? they have not been going to — the nations leave? they have not been going to plan _ the nations leave? they have not been going to plan and _ the nations leave? they have not been going to plan and it - the nations leave? they have not been going to plan and it is - the nations leave? they have not been going to plan and it is veryl been going to plan and it is very quiet around here, normally it would be noisy before a game here and back to the football, england have not won in the nations leave they lost against hungary but then a more positive performance against germany. in the nations league relegation is a possibility and they will want to avenge the defeat against italy in the euro 2025, this will be the first time they have played them since then. —— euro 2020. and only four games until the world cup in qatar so there are a number of reasons why gareth southgate and the players will think this is very useful and vital. thanks forjoining us.
7:35 pm
the republic of ireland got their first nations league win at the 13th time of asking as they saw off scotland in comfortable fashion in dublin. alan browne gave the hosts the lead in the 20th minute before troy parrott doubled their advantage just eight minutes later, following some brilliant work from michael 0bafemi in the build up. 0bafemi then turned scorer in the second half, unleashing this unstoppable shot past a despairing craig gordon in the scotland goal in the 51st minute to make it 3—0. well, also kicking off at 7.45 is wales against belgium in cardiff. with the hosts hoping to collect their first points of this nations league campaign, having lost already to poland and the netherlands. but belgium are ranked second in the world thrashed poland 6—1. but wales boss robert page will be hoping to cause an upset. we are at this level because we have earned the right to be at this level.
7:36 pm
we absolutely respect them as a team and as a nation — the manager is outstanding and what he has done is brilliant. he will never go away from his beliefs and how he wants to play. we're expecting, irrespective of the starting xi, we're expecting a tough challenge. he has similar principles to what he has always had it so this will make for an entertaining game, a tough game, but we will be ready for it. wales have lost only once to belgium in six meetings over the past nine years. the most recent win against was their 3—1 victory at the quarter—final stage of euro 2016. and they also beat them to qualify for that tournament, that game according to gareth bale was the match that saw this team transform their belief and form. it was definitely one of those moments, that you need a good result against a big team. it was a difficult night. they had a lot of the ball but i think it is that
7:37 pm
belief, knowing we can see games out against the biggest teams, we can compete against the biggest teams. one of those moments that you can draw back on and as you said, this is a moment of change, a belief moment that we can compete at the top level and that was a catalyst for what we went on to achieve. new zealand posted their highest ever test match score in england after racking up 553 runs in their first innings of the second test at trent bridge. england struggled to find the answer to them on day two as daryll mitchell starred with the bat. a superb 190 from him, before falling on what was the final delivery of the innings. patrick gearey was watching. it has felt at times in this test that this is what england were bowling with, a ball that has appeared appetisingly large in new zealand's eyes, and yet kept escaping englishmen.
7:38 pm
that was daryl mitchell with his second century of a short but spectacular series. perhaps he felt invincible. perhaps he just forgot there was a fielder out there. matthew potts was, unfortunately, briefly a sieve. not everyone was seeing it big... oh, well — carry on. tom blundell made his century, new zealand nearly 400—4 — license to loosen up. that was what did for tom blundell in the end, out for 106. a liberated mitchell, on the other hand, was putting them in the stands. heads up, sign him up. england needed something, anything. they got rain and a chance to refresh and redress. joe root dropped a crucial catch on the first day, but no escape this time. michael bracewell out to jimmy anderson. finally, england were moving, and eventually they even got mitchell but by then he had scored 190. new zealand 553 all out. england's turn, and for more
7:39 pm
than a day and a half batting had looked easy, but it isn't, and that was zak crawley. alex isn't, and that was zak crawley. lees was dropped pope. alex lees was dropped and then 0llie pope. they escaped to 90—1 at the close. 0nejob done, just pope. they escaped to 90—1 at the close. 0ne job done, just three days to go. patrick gearey, bbc news. and the southern vipers beat the central sparks by six wickets to win the charlotte edwards cup today. they've been unbeaten for the whole tournament and signed off in style. and fittingly, they are coached by the england legend that the trophy is named after. rugby union — and saracens overcame a nine—point deficit and survived three second half yellow cards to beat champions harlequins in the day's first premiership semifinal. the victory means saracens reached their sixth final in their last eight campaigns — having won four of those trips to twickenham. jess softley has more.
7:40 pm
former champions versus reigning champions, saracens versus harlequins, the stage was set. quins had the better start. marcus smith exploiting a gap in the saracens defence to set up danny care. ben earl reduced the deficit before clever play from 0wen farrell had tomkins crashing over to give saracens the lead. 13—12 at half—time. they held the momentum, all the way to the try line. commentator: it's their fourth! a series of high tackles left them down to 13 men, an opportunity quins did not waste. direct, precise. quins had the skills but not the time. one final try from saracens squashed any hope of a comeback. from the championship to twickenham, saracens return to former glory has been incredible. they are nowjust 80 minutes away from a sixth premiership title. jess softley, bbc news.
7:41 pm
it will be leicester tigers joining them in the final. george ford helped the tigers to a 27—14 victory, in his final home game at welford road. leicester hold the record for the most premierships titles, with ten. it will be an all south african final in the united rugby championship. ulster were beaten by the stormers, 17—15. they were leading in south aftrica until the closing moments when warrick gelant crossed the line and the kick was converted to seal the win. so it will be the stormers against the bulls in cape town next saturday. andy murray has reached his first tour level final on grass in six years after beating nick kyrgios in the stuttgart 0pen. the straight sets win, 7—6, 6—2, sets up a meeting
7:42 pm
with matteo berrettini of italy in the final on sunday. his last atp tour title came at antwerp in 2019. charles leclerc will be hoping to close the gap to max verstappen in the formula one drivers championship after claiming pole for tomorrow's azerbaijan grand prix. he'll line up alongside red bull's sergio perez after the dutchman could only manage third on the grid. nick parrott was watching for us. azerbaijan might not have the glamour of monaco but it provides more of a spectacle. lance stroll crashed not once but twice in the opening session of qualifying. the canadian was probably left a little shaken by that. his aston martin team—mate sebastian vettel was merely stirred by his off. once again, lewis hamilton was having problems with his mercedes. he will start from seventh place, two places behind team—mate george russell. at the front of the field the usual suspects were battling it out for pole. ferrari's charles leclerc put
7:43 pm
in a scintillating lap to beat red bull's sergio perez by more than a quarter of a second. this one i probably did not expect because i thought red bull were stronger, especially in q1 and q2, i struggled to see that we were faster but in the last lap everything came together and i managed to do a good lap, so i'm extremely happy. we had a little issue with the refuelling and that meant that we were just out of sequence for ourfinal lap and, unfortunately, that meant we were just out of sequence and not good enough, but i think probably three tenths was too much to find. this is charles leclerc�*s fourth pole in a row but he has failed to convert any of those into victory, and with championship leader max verstappen behind him in third, he will have his work cut out again to win. nick parrott, bbc news. there's loads of golf this week. 0n the lpga tour,
7:44 pm
england'sjodi ewart shadoff is one of the lead on 7 under after her second round at the shoprite classic in newjersey. american lauren coughlin is the club house leader with the afternoon players underway. in the scandi mixed event — which has men and women competing against each other — sweden's linn grant leads the way on home soil, 1a under, two clear of australia's jason scrivener. while on the pga tour, rory mcilory and matt fitzpatrick are just two shots off the current lead of tony finay at the canadian 0pen. play is under way in the third round there. and south african charl schwartzel has won the controversial saudi—backed liv golf invational at the centrurian club. he claimed a one—shot win ahead of countryman hennie du plessis. with the victory comes prize money of more than 5.5 million.
7:45 pm
catalans dragons have moved up to second in super league after beating hull fc by 36 points to eight. on a day where temperatures reached 36 degrees celsius in perpignan, the dragons were too hot for hull to handle. they scored six tries, including this one by tyrone may, as they further fuelled their ambitions of a second succesive place in the grand final. britain's double 0lympic medallist georgia taylor—brown took a second place at the world triathlon event in leeds. cassandre beaugrand of france won in the women's despite getting a ten second penalty. and sophie coldwell�*s strong finish meant there was another member of team gb on the podium in third. jonathan brownlee and alex yee's race was ended after a crash on the bike leg that wasn't caught on camera. it was hayden wilde of new zealand who took first place. i was part of that collision which
7:46 pm
was actually probably my fault. i want to apologise to jonny brownlee and alex, my team—mate i can add want to apologise tojonny brownlee and alex, my team—mate i can add —— glided into a little bit, and the guys went down. i want to apologise to them properly, and i won to raise them properly, not like that. i know johnny was pretty mad on the side and he gave me some words which is fair enough. that's all from sportsday. england against italy is under way. it is goalless after the first minute. now for the film review. but from all the team here, goodnight.
7:47 pm
hello and a very warm welcome to the film review on bbc news. i'm jane hill. and to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hi, mark. what have you been watching? quite the mixed bag. we havejurassic world dominion. the dinosaurs are back. we have swan song, starring german legend udo kier, and all my friends hate me. is it a comedy? is it a horror movie? dinosaurs are back. that's it. end of the review. there we go. thank you very much. thank you for watching. so this picks up four years after fallen kingdom. man and dinosaurs must coexist because the dinosaurs are now out in the world. also co—existing are the stars of the originaljurassic park movies and the stars of the jurassic world movies. see what they've done? all together, kind
7:48 pm
of big variety stage. the plot this time revolves around a sinister biotech company who are scheming to take over the world's food supplies through genetic engineering. 0ur heroes must unite to save themselves and the world. here's a clip. we got to go. going to have to break a window to get inside that thing. hope nobody's afraid of heights. growling don't move. now, did that look at all familiar to you? i mean, you know. a bit! 0k, fine. so here's the thing. i mean, this basically plays like a greatest hits collection. i mean, ifa band comes onto a festival stage, you've got to play the hits. so this the conclusion of the second
7:49 pm
trilogy and the end of the story. play the hits, do the bit when everybody looks up and is astonished. do the bit whenjeff goldblum, whose character, incidentally, makes no sense whatsoever but manages to make every single line a voyage of discovery somehow. because he's employed by the company. as far as i can tell, he's employed simply to tell them that everything is a really, really bad idea, but get him to do that thing he does. you said when you were watching the clip, "i love sam neill." we all love sam neill! and he has a kind of indiana jones—style hat. the problem with this is for a while, it can't decide which movie it wants to be. i mean, fora bit, it's a kind ofjames bond movie chasing around in very scenic backstreets. then for a while it thinks it wants to be mission impossible. and there's a bit when chris pratt attempts to drive a motorbike into the back of an aeroplane. and then there's a bit which looks like it's come from austin powers with all these kind of strange sets that look very, very �*70s and a little bit shonky. and it's fine, but its two hours long. none of it makes any sense.
7:50 pm
do you remember the awe, the sense of "i've never seen this before" that you got when you saw the first? oh, yes, yes. everyone went to see it and it was the thing to see. and it was terrifying. it was. i mean, the velociraptor stuff was absolutely terrifying. with this, ok, the special effects are good. of course they're good. it's a great big, expensive special effects movie. i mean, some of them are a little bit chunky, but generally great, you know, big dinosaurs. and the cast, these are big actors like laura dern, sam neill, jeff goldblum, great. like all those people there, they are doing some stuff. and itjust kind of goes on and then it goes on and then it goes on. and then after two and a half hours or so, it stops and you go, "yeah," you know, "i liked all those hits." i kind of wanted something more. it did feel very incoherent. it did feel like, "let's just get everyone on stage and just do some stuff." and i, funnily enough, i spoke to a colleague quite shortly afterwards, "i said, tell me the plot." and they went, "um, bio locusts, wasn't it? jeff something? "what was it?"
7:51 pm
so it's not going to linger long in the mind after you've seen it. it will however, be huge, because it's jurassic world. yeah, but if you're saying it's fine, that's not... anyway, greatest hits, as you say. swan song, very different choice. so, you know, must have cost less than the catering budget for one morning ofjurassic world dominion. so, this is german screen legend udo kier. he's pat. he is a former hairdresser now in a retirement home, is visited by somebody from a funeral home who says rita, who was his star client who he fell out with, has asked for him to do her burial. it was left in her will. and initially, he says, and it's my favourite line, "bury her with bad hair," which is a wonderfully quotable line. then he decides that he will do it. and he walks across the town, which is sandusky in ohio, which i've never been to. and as he goes to all the old haunts, he rediscovers his old self. he picks up a hat in a store, which was a salon
7:52 pm
that he used to have. and now very much changed. he gets given a lime green suit that somehow reinvigorates him. the thing it reminded me of is there's a harry dean stanton movie called lucky. very melancholic, but really rather charming. and if you're an udo kierfan, which i am, a lot of the movies that he's been in, like, you know, flesh for frankenstein, they're at the more extreme end of the spectrum. and i thought it was really lovely seeing him do something that was so poignant, so touching. so... i mean, you've seen it. did you...? i was about to use the word touching, actually. were you moved by it? we really enjoyed it. we both said, "oh, that's sad." you know, it is melancholic. we can't get away from that. but the actual story i really liked, and i really like someone looking back on their life and looking back on how much society has changed in the 70 something years they've been alive. and also, i think the whole thing about the location, sandusky, ohio, everywhere looks a little bit barren, a little bit desolate. a little bit... yes.
7:53 pm
as he rediscovers his life, it all kind of — the surroundings come to life as well. so it's like his presence is breathing life back into the community. and it's, i mean, it's funny in places. there are some really, really lovely moments. i thought his performance was great. i really liked it and i was very, very charmed. i didn't expect to be at all. i'm glad that you watched it. it's a tiny little film, but it'd be nice if people would give it some attention. and eagle—eyed people will spot that linda evans is in it as well, i have to mention that. yeah. playing a key role. yes. i shall say no more. yeah, but she's in it. so, onto a british offering, all my friends hate me, which is an uncomfortable and often kind of cringe—inducing, although deliberately so. horror? is it horror? is it comedy? it's written by tom stourton and tom palmer, who were a comedy duo called totally toms. tom stourton is pete. he's just returned from abroad, round about 30. he gets invited by his old university mates to a party for him. birthday party in a posh country house. these are posh people.
7:54 pm
0n the way there, it's clear that he's awkward. he's out of place. he doesn't really fit in. he has an encounter with one of the locals, which looks like it's going to go a bit straw dogs. here's a clip. what do you need to know? lost? — yes. thought as much. yeah _ 0ld sat nav let you down, ey? surprise, surprise. long journey? yeah. sort of late for my i own party, actually. it's my birthday. yeah. you need to loop back round through the red gate. bear left till you hit the lamb pub, then straight shot through dawn. and it's on your left. big iron—fronted thing. i remember. - thank you very much. might come join you later. yeah, well, i'll let the others know. i cheers again. thanks. laters. i and indeed, he may actually come and join them. so as you can see from that, the whole thing is he's a fish out of water. he doesn't know... he's awkward. he's difficult. ha—ha, but very, very...
7:55 pm
he gets there where all his friends, as the title tells us, appear to hate him. or do they? is he being paranoid? are they all conspiring against him? and who's this bloke that they met in a pub who they've said, "0h, he's a great bloke. he's a great guy," who turns up and seems to pete, our central character, to be actually an agent of malice, somehow conspiring against him. and the whole thing walks on this knife edge between, is this funny or is this disturbing? or is it funny and disturbing at the same time? now, quite often when you do that, one will undercut the other or one will stop the other one from working. i thought the best thing about all my friends hate me is that it does manage to be genuinely awkward for quite a long part of its running time. it got... is that quite clever? it is clever. no, that's a very difficult balancing act. i mean, i'm sure you as well. i've seen enough horror comedies which are neither horrifying nor funny. and this isn't a horrorfilm, but there are elements of horror in it. it's not a flat—out comedy, although there are many, many laughs in it. but it's that thing
7:56 pm
about it, the awkwardness, the sense of paranoia. now, jane, i don't know about you. anyone who understands the paranoid experience of being around people and thinking, "what? "what have i done? what has everyone got against me? "do they know the thing that i'm trying...?" that kind of hidden secret thing? and you can see all of that even in the trailer, actually. you feel quite stressed. yes, absolutely. and i think it gets that right. now, it's not perfect. you know, some bits of it work better than others. but i thought it was, as a balancing act, i thought it was very well done because that's a hard balance to maintain. yeah, intriguing. certainly intriguing. best out this week is still... well, let's embrace it. top gun maverick is really, really great. and against all expectations, because, i mean, i didn't particularly like the first top gun. i think it's better than the first one. jane, whisper it. it is, it is better than the first one. and also, you know, would it immediately, if you thought "one of my favourite
7:57 pm
films will be top gun maverick?" cos it's such good fun. no, i had no idea i was going to have such a good time. i can't even explain why i enjoyed it. but it's great to look at. it's fantastic to look at. the flying scenes. i don't even think i'm particularly interested in flying, but they're just extraordinary. it's absolutely fascinating to watch. and also, it works. i mean, the emotional beats get you. and i'm sitting there, i'm crying when i'm watching it thinking, "i'm really cross that it's making me cry, but it's working really, really well. " and tom cruise is really good in it. yes. and, yeah, it's beautifully made. and for those of us of our generation, just those strains of that wonderful, wonderful music. yeah, but it starts off with kenny loggins. it starts with kenny loggins doing... that was it. as soon as you hear the kenny loggins, you go, "ok, that's it. fine, i'm back in again." you know, "i've got my hair has gone dark again. i'm a lot thinner than i used to be."
7:58 pm
ijust i thought it was absolutely rip—roaringly good. let's put that on the poster — surprisingly good. quick thoughts about dvds. the duke is out on dvd. this is the stranger than fiction true story about the theft of a painting, great performances by jim broadbent and helen mirren. i mention this because it's directed by roger michell, whose last picture was elizabeth, a portrait in parts, which was in cinemas obviously for thejubilee and is now available on prime video. i thought the duke was very likable and very watchable and elizabeth is a very interesting documentary. and roger michell, a great man that we lost too soon. a great loss and a very, very talented and versatile filmmaker. and i actually think those two films demonstrate that perfectly. mark, thank you so much. and that is it for this week. enjoy your cinemagoing wherever you choose to go and see. see you next time. bye— bye. good evening. sunday is looking relatively straightforward in terms of the weather. the best of the sunshine will be in england and wales
7:59 pm
but there will be a few isolated showers further north and west, but more importantly, much lighter winds in comparison to saturday's weather. so, over the next two hours we still have the strong winds, driving in some showers over western scotland and the far north of northern ireland. clear skies elsewhere and a relatively mild start to sunday morning and that is where the best of the sunshine is likely to be first thing and generally through the day but even so, with lighter winds and fewer showers not everywhere in scotland and northern ireland will see some rain and with the sunnier moments coming through it will be a bit warmer than saturday. highs of 17 in the far north and 22 in the south—east corner. we do it all again as we move into monday, dry, settled and sunny, despite a few showers continuing into the far north—west. and again, those temperatures in the low 20s. enjoy.
8:00 pm
this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 8:00: prince charles is reported to have described the government's rwanda asylum scheme, as �*appalling' — one conservative mp says more understanding of the policy is required. he is entitled to his view, as is anyone else. but a number of the views that have been made about rwanda seem to be on the basis of a lack of information about what this programme and what migrant experience has been like. police in brazil searching for a missing britishjournalist say they've found possible human remains in a river. the family of a shaun pinner, a british man sentenced to death forfighting russian forces — say he should be given all the rights of a prisoner of war, including full independent legal representation. thousands of protesters
