the daily telegraph devotes most of its front page to the submission by thejewish labour movement to the equality and human rights commission. and the financial times reports that the world's biggest oil company, saudi aramco, has raised a record 25 and a half billion dollars in its initial public offering. the election dominating in one shape orform. 0ven ready and set the election dominating in one shape or form. 0ven ready and set to grill, this is the headline grabbing phrase that andrew neil used to throw down the gauntlet live on air to borisjohnson. throw down the gauntlet live on air to boris johnson. he throw down the gauntlet live on air to borisjohnson. he has made the front pages for this. it is on the front pages for this. it is on the front pages for this. it is on the front page of the mirror and it is quite extraordinary with the broadcaster looked down the camera and delivered this and it wasn't just, stop being a coward, he went through and said, using his own phrase. this question of trust remains an issue and that is one of the biggest questions. borisjohnson look

the daily telegraph, conservative supporting and we are in no doubt who the sun is supporting. don't trust marxist labour, boris ticks all the boxes. the sun —— the sun says back boris. it always picks a winner, the sun. it has real form in this and as britain's bestselling newspaper, it's packing a punch but i'm not convinced, there is often some debate about the reach of the newspapers in shaping public opinion and i'm not convinced any newspaper is that level of mind control that is sometimes attributed. their constituency, the readership, and thatis constituency, the readership, and that is what the sun —— the sun has gone for here. do you agree? i wrote a book partly about all of this and i don't think there is any evidence that a single paper including the sun despite the influence it claims has ever swung an election, even in the tightest election. has ever swung an election, even in the tightest electionlj has ever swung an election, even in the tightest election. i thought the sun wot won it. we're going back to 1987 and the sun wot won it, and the tory victory

the daily telegraph has a photo of the british woman convicted of making a false allegation of gang rape in cyprus — herface covered by a scarf. the paper says foreign secretary dominic raab is taking up the case amid fears of a miscarriage ofjustice. the guardian has the same story — as well as a second lead about the arrest of five men suspected of plotting an islamist terror attack. the times says britain's tech giants — like facebook and google — could be regulated for the first time, including better protection for children against abuse. and tomorrow's daily express has a warning on ‘quick fix' new year's diets. first let's deal with this story thatis first let's deal with this story that is leading on the daily telegraph, which is where we will begin. dominic raab takes up the false rape claim case with ciphers, questions over how this young woman has been treated by the authorities on the island. 50 has been treated by the authorities on the island. so much incredibly shocking about this case. it is great that dominic rob is taking it up, it is about time some i say. it

shall we start with the daily telegraph, pm pledges to get tough on serious criminals. boris johnson has given an interview to the telegraph, and tough on crime and the causes of crime. feels like pretty traditional tory territory. he's reiterating a pledge that was all ready made in the manifesto for the last few weeks on abolishing automatic early release for criminals. but as ever with boris johnson, it's a mixed bag. there's also a bit of carrot along the stick in the form of an additional £500 million pledge to spend on youth centres to help rehabilitate young people in the justice system. what do you make of this? no surprise that he would be saying this on the eve of an election. is it traditional to his death appealing to his traditional heartlands? traditional to his death appealing to his traditional heartland57m the to his traditional heartlands7m the interview he's going to the daily telegraph, it is interesting that he's decided to focus on crime rather than exit because he's been talking about brexit day after day after day. but lots of people still have

let's finish with the daily telegraph. world cup and ashes hero wins sports personality of the year. only the fifth cricketer to win that prize and this year it was hardly a surprise with winning the world cup and how he played. a fantastic year for english cricket winning the world cup. then stokes has had a difficult couple of years, he was up for affray which he was cleared of a couple of ago. and he has been, had a few brushes with the press. quite interestingly, unfortunately for viewers, gary lineker accidentally announced the fact he had won an hour early before you were meant to. at least he didn't announce the wrong person. and oxo style moment!

this was sought to build upon by the daily telegraph yesterday, basically suggesting that there was a suggestion that had been russian interference in that these documents had been, in effect, doctored to support the narrative that labour were trying to push. the interesting thing to make there is a back story to all of this, which is there was a very particular researcher who had been requesting all this information and been given all this information and been given a redacted version of these papers, and then suddenly the whole lot were on the line. the reductions were... they were taken out and put online. athin they were taken out and put online. a thinjeremy corbyn lead in a little to the suggestion they may have downloaded those papers from the particular account. having read the particular account. having read the story about russian influence on it, basically it is a suggestion that a very similar technique has been used in the past. it wasn't conclusive but it is interesting that it conclusive but it is interesting thatitis conclusive but it is interesting that it is the dail

telegraph is saying this default into wto arrangements for the eu is commonly understood to be leaving with a no—deal. that is what the last two years has commonly understood to mean crashing out without a deal. we can't argue about the language for the next five yea rs, about the language for the next five years, that's going to be nuts. years, that's going to be nutsm has nothing to do with linkage, it has nothing to do with linkage, it has nothing to do with definition and reality, which is that we have left on the terms of withdrawal agreement, if we then don't get a trade deal coming out week, europe doesn't get a trade deal, then it's wto. but i have to say, that we should not come of this will be the remainders last fling, want to? as they finally agree that possibly, they finally agree that possibly, they may have lost. but at the end of the day... remain as would like a deal, obviously. we can't argue about this, but actually come in germany badly needs actually come in germany badly needs a deal with this country. france badly needs a deal with this country. it will happen.

let's finish with the daily telegraph. nonpolitical coverage. and ashes hero won a sports personality of the year. obviously the cricket team have had an amazing year winning the world cup and u nfortu nately for year winning the world cup and unfortunately for the audience, gary lineker by mistake made the announcement in oui’ lineker by mistake made the announcement in our early calling him the main winner of the evening. i'm sure no one noticed. there were some great female contest is as well, dina asher—smith, katerina thompson. i think it was maybe a nice break for everyone to be thinking about this for the evening. for you to to be saying that it tells us something about how exhausting it has been. it is still a very busy week to come. that's it for the papers this hour. giles and maya will be back at half—past eleven for another look at the papers. next on bbc news, it's click. this video game is one of the biggest crowdfunded projects ever. star citizen has raised nearly £200 million. that's a sizeable chunk of change. but then, i

the daily telegraph leads with the prime minister's warning to labour leader jeremy corbyn not to lecture him on ireland. the mirror reports or more trouble for prince andrew who they say is at the centre of new allegation related to thejeffrey epstein scandal. and the ft leads with the news that a new global football league has been described as insane we will come to that story and a moment but let us start off with the telegraph in the debate, what did you make of it? i was in the car listening to something else i thought it went marvellous, i enjoyed not having to watch it.” rather enjoyed it because i have been somewhat underwhelmed by the standard of debate throughout this somewhat, election. both men rose to the occasion this evening and i was most pleased that i felt boris johnson was the more successful of the two, but it was also is success for the bbc because it was a very well moderated debate. very civil debate and the questions were well handled. i was using the word metaphorically as i'm sure you realise. i will come back to why you did not watch it in a moment, but you s

the daily telegraph looks at the queen was makes each, borisjohnson with the nhs at the heart of his agenda, so says the telegraph. later on it says brexit remains the heart of his administration. the money might be there, i think one of the challenges for the nhs is to make sure we get the people. there has been a talent shortage and a lot of the work that lobbying groups have been after is saying let's make sure we cannot limit immigration, because we cannot limit immigration, because we need these people to actually staff our hospitals and look after oui’ staff our hospitals and look after our people. absolutely. 50,000 nurses has been promised over a period of time, the question is where they going to come from? and it's also about retirement as well. many have left the nhs but were working since the referendum. in terms of brexit, of course that will be essential elements of this queen's speech today, with mps voting on the withdrawal agreement bill tomorrow. indeed. and with the majority they have got, i think we have an idea about which way that is going to go now. i think o

we begin with news from the daily telegraph's business pages. according to bank of england governor, mark carney, the uk is heading for a smooth brexit. mr carney made his comments as british stocks reportedly enjoyed their best day in three years. but the independent reports that prime minister boris johnson is going to publish legislation this week that would stop him from extending brexit negotiations with the eu beyond december 2020. the paper quotes opposition politicians saying the move risks sending the uk straight off the no—deal cliff. the new york times questions the cost of adventure, asking how the eruption of the volcano on white island will affect tourism in new zealand going forward. the industry represents nearly 6% of the country's economic output, and employs more than 14% of the workforce. the financial times has the story of the class action against tech giants apple, google, microsoft, dell and tesla being brought on behalf of families of children killed or injured while mining cobalt in the decmocratic republic of congo.

the daily telegraph business pages cover trouble at ted baker, the retailer. its chief executive and chairman have left after it warned of a plunge in profits. greece's ekatharini reports on a project called rebrain, the country's attempting to reverse the brain drain by promising a guarenteed salary to workers who've gone abroad. and finally, the metro among many with new calls for food packaging to say how much exercise would be needed to burn off the calories inside. i'm told for a glass of white wine, a medium—sized glass, you're looking ata20 a medium—sized glass, you're looking at a 20 minute run. food for thought! james hughes, chief market analyst with scope markets, is here. so let's begin. james, your back. good morning, yes. we have this story as do many others, on the front of the times, the youguv poll, the last four we go to the ballot box, which says the lead the tories had a few weeks ago has gotten smaller and smaller.

can i take you both to the front page of the daily telegraph because while boris johnson is enjoying his moment labour party is licking its wounds, grace what's the telegraph saying? this is a piece you're talking about the furore that has comforted jeremy corbyn in his first meeting of the shadow cabinet. various stories here about how jess phillips shadow cabinet. various stories here about howjess phillips reading on in grand feet and people putting pressure on corbyn to get rid of karen murphy who seems quite interested in the campaign, i mean probably this is looking at the acrimony amongst mps and former mps directed towards corbyn and saying it was entirely his fault, which there were certainly some mistakes made and i think the way in which the manifesto was crafted in absence ofa the manifesto was crafted in absence of a very coherent and compelling narrative in 2017 as well as the strategic error of try to become a remain party and squeeze those votes all contributed to this defeat, and as has been written that came up a lot on the doorstep of indecisiveness of brexit and c

for the daily telegraph, a leaked conservative member which suggests jeremy corbyn could end up as prime minister without gaining a single parliamentary seat. they say tactical voting in a dozen constituencies would result in mr corbyn entering downing street as leader of a minority labour government. the independents as there are numerous cases of young children forced to wait hours in a&e wards for a bed. they say that the case of the four—year—old, a boy with special needs, who was forced to wait 57 hours for a specialist bed. the mirror lease with another case of a child left to wait in a&e, with the story of davey millie who had 26 hours. —— baby millie. the metro leads with the story of hospital beds, and they say the war has led to the election heating up for the final days. the times leads with news that british tourists were among those injured in the new zealand volcano disaster. let's start with the story of the day and, judging by the papers, it's likely to be the story of tomorrow morning, the picture the prime minister a p pa re ntly the picture the prime minister a

rachel, let's start with the daily telegraph, and a picture of boris johnson welcoming some of the new 109 conservative mps to westminster today. johnson to enshrine 2020 brexit in the log, perhaps we will come to that in just a moment, but in terms of the photograph, what do you think we can expect from these new conservative mps in the conservative government, in terms of tone and substance? well, i can't tell. that's precisely the point. a lot of them are people we don't know that much about him in the manifesto didn't have that much in it either. so, in every respect, this is quite blank. we really have no way of knowing, in terms of policy, what this new government is about. aside, of course, from the brexit policy. and now we can see the outlines of that, as you say. the prime minister wa nts to that, as you say. the prime minister wants to enshrine into law that britain does leave the eu by the end of 2020, which will be the end of the transition period, meaning that if there isn't a trade deal is secured with the eu by that period, we would default to wto relations with the eu,

new year honours blunder is the story in the daily telegraph, the sunday telegraph, and there is some confusion about how long this document was available for comment this says about 90 minutes, but it is not known how many times it was downloaded —— was available for, this is about 90 minutes. yes, there is some confusion about how long, and some addresses were redacted, so there was not every single one, but it was almost every single one, and the other thing, the government is likely to be fined over this because we have gdp are rules and the information commissioner's office is going to have a look at this and we know companies have been fined for this kind of breach where information is shared and i would be surprised if they do not get a reasonably hefty fine. the maximum is 17 million which... they are finding us, essentially. it is crazy. —— finding us, essentially. it is crazy. — — finding. finding us, essentially. it is crazy. —— finding. are you to do programmes like watchdog when everything was fact checked and you we re everything was fact checked and you

telegraph newspapers apparently used to say they'll see it before itself with details on that coming up with. a u.k. universities on the file for god lines it's set to start travelling to its new campus in dubai which suggests they should highlight this section.

in fairness, that the daily telegraph is not loose with its language. it is written will come out of the eu with all without a trade deal. it is germany, france and spain's interests that there is a trade deal. this is about both sides doing it so i'm very confident there will be a form of trade deal. i was trade minister, i used to do this for a living and trade deals can be done quite quickly and it's alarmist to say it can't be but just quickly and it's alarmist to say it can't be butjust one last point, the telegraph, he is saying they are going to create some more peers, some more house going to create some more peers, some more house of going to create some more peers, some more house of lords members who will be experts in working peers and bring their expertise to get this done as quickly as possible. it doesn't even use the words word stacking, it is shake up the house of lords but the purpose is to get as much talent in. i want to come to you rachel but what is the quickest you've ever done a trade deal? some are done very quickly because it's

the daily telegraph have a pull out special. the front page, inevitable fighter of borisjohnson the front page, inevitable fighter of boris johnson compared the front page, inevitable fighter of borisjohnson compared with margaret thatcher and his alleged political hero, winston churchill. he wrote that terrible biography of churchill, didn't he? very hubristic. lots of talk of thatcher for those of us who remember that period. what do you think this level of political power means? some people say fantastic, any brexit deal can be softer because all those on the right can be ignored. but also, unfettered, isn't it? yes. that is the opportunity and the burden for boris johnson and this conservative government more broadly. unlike 1983, where labour had that crushing defeat, the map was somehow intact in the north—east of england. first gone conservative for the first time in any one posit memory. that will be interesting, how that is balanced out and how does that affect brexit? boris johnson has a room to manoeuvre, if he is g
