and it is important for ba fta bafta as well.bit of a fan. i know kate is as well. they don't mind a night in with the telly and a box set those two. it is important to continue that patronage throughout the royal family and it gives a seal of approval to the british film industry and it shows how important it is to the national culture and national conversation that a film like this can do. and the royal couple walking right behind us and it is interesting that it isa behind us and it is interesting that it is a largely green dress with a nod to black. when i looked at it on the screen i thought it was black. as she appeared in front of us it appears to be green. she is seven months pregnant, so an added challenge for her. i think the royal family very rarely get involved in political messaging and so perhaps it is not such a surprise that she did notjoin in with it is not such a surprise that she did not join in with the it is not such a surprise that she did notjoin in with the rest of the women and were black tonight. we are

we are not being slow to rea ct, ba fta movement.act, bafta wants to be seen or people monthly baftas to be seen to be part of this movement, and people working in the british film industry wa nts to working in the british film industry wants to be seen. —— want the baftas to be part of the movement. some people just want to watch the films, but it is quite shocking and more female stories need to be told on film. people will be talking about politics, a and a greater cultural movement, which is the beauty of cinema, it represents the wiltshire. and it allows people to read things in different ways. it is one of the most exciting red carpets we have had in many years. it will be fascinating, i think, had in many years. it will be fascinating, ithink, and had in many years. it will be fascinating, i think, and quite a lot of the women who have signed the letter will be on this carpet in a couple of hours, and that is what people are going to be asked about, we know. as you say, every year it isa we know. as you say, every year it is a

let's bring you up to date with what we're hearing from the ba fta with what we're hearing from the baftaon best actress for three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. that has just won best film and gary oldman has taken the lead actor bafta for his film betrayal of winston churchill in darkest hour. like other award shows this season, the stars were asked to wear black. there was plenty of speculation about whether one of the guests, the duchess of cambridge might go along with that, but as you can see, she opted for a green dress with a black ribbon. many other act but many other actresses, including lupita nyong'o and angelina jolie, chose to wear black to show support for the time's up movement, which is campaigning for an end to sexism and inequality. for all of this year's winners, join us for all of this year's winners, join us for our bafta special coming up here on bbc news in a few moments time. good evening. sunshine was much more limited today. there was a very different look to the weather out there. we have seen a lot of cloud spilling on from the west, bringing some rain a

and we will take a look at the shape of water, the film that is up for 12 ba ftas.the fbi has issued a statement this evening over the florida school shooting in which 17 people were shot dead by a former student this week. it says it was warned by the gunmen —— warned about the gunman but did not act. they issued a statement saying the information provided by the caller should have been assessed as a potential threat to life and passed to the miami office. these protocols were not followed. more news from the us, 13 russians have been charged with interfering with the 2016 election. three of those have been accused of committing wire fraud and five have been accused of aggravated identity theft. the announcement was made by special counsel robert mueller who is investigating corruption in the election. some defendants used computer systems in the us to hide the russian origin of their activities. we will explore more on that story later on bbc news but now it is time for sportsday. hello, i'm 0lly foster at the bbc sport centre, these are our headlines tonight. the

i'm slightly surprised because i thought it was a film that divided people but it united the ba ftas.. it is a film that is very divisive and away, deliberately so, controversial, but not controversial enough to put off the bafta voters. 0ne enough to put off the bafta voters. one of the edgiest films they have ever voted as their best picture. we said we were surprised if francis mcdonald hadn't come away with that prize, the same with gary oldman. he did, for winston churchill in darkest hour. he ended up thanking sir winston churchill in his a cce pta nce sir winston churchill in his acceptance speech but the standard he took —— stand he took, this stand against the march of hitler and the speeches he gave in that movie have been so well received by everyone. i hear he has been getting a standing ovation is up and down the land for those speeches. i suppose it really struck a chord this year. there's a freedom there, a unity that those speeches are brought together. let's face it, it's a fantastic performance from gary oldman. i a lwa ys performance from gary oldman. i always think

talking about the ba ftas that update. talking about the baftas now.e guests attending the event wore black in support of the time‘s up and me too campaigns against sexual harassment. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba has more details. black dresses on the red carpet — all part of the ongoing time‘s up campaign, aimed at fair treatment for women. it wasn‘t just stars. two of the original dagenham girls — whose 1968 strike action at ford led to the equal pay act — were there too. well, we thought it would end by now. we thought everybody would have got their rights but, unfortunately, it hasn‘t happened, has it? somewhat appropriate, then, that the night‘s big winner — three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri — focuses on a woman, played by frances mcdormand, who won best actress, looking for justice. i have a little trouble with compliance. laughter applause but i want you to know that i stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. power to the people. the movie — which won a total of five baftas, including best film — has stru

if you look at the ba ftas la st older voices., but it is more to do with... content definitely needs to change, it is worse now thanit needs to change, it is worse now than it was in 1913, gender representation and race is appalling in film still, said that has to shift, but i also think the idea of people being able to speak up because we are talking about abuses of power, really, and these are abuses of power, and the idea of people having a voice against powers that are silencing them, i think there is a tipping point but i really hope that that's now going to be listened to on set, at work, that is the really... it is all very well, all wearing black is a brilliant visual image but if you are the one person on a set or on a job that has to say, i'm not happy with how this, how i'm being treated, it is still very, very scary. you have experienced sexual harassment, i think i am right in saying, according to what i have read about you, but did you call it out? i have... i don't talk about my own personal experiences because i o
