and benedict cumberbatch is splashed across the sun — after knocking down a cyclist with his car on a country lane in the isle of wight — the paper reports the actor got a slap from his victim who was left bleeding heavily from an arm injury starting with the daily telegraph. a dream for headline writers. tiger getting his bite back. it's an extraordinary comeback. this is a beautiful image they have on the front of the telegraph. sweet footage with him and his son, at his daughter. this is an extraordinary sporting comeback. tiger woods
11:34 pm
becoming fairly faintly tragic figure to sports journalists because it hadn't look like, i mean, he had such a horrific succession of injuries and it didn't look like it was going to happen. sporting comebacks are not always this successful. it's really quite an extraordinary story. where were hurling earlier from commentators about the mental strength required. to come back and compete at the very highest level. comparison is with muhammad ali after being allowed to compete at vietnam. ali was fit and ready to go. this guy hasn't been able to hit golf balls for years. i think it's mental but also physical
11:35 pm
and for the entire sport of golf, this is hugely significant to have your biggest name, the person who can go on your biggest name, the person who can go on front pages across the world in an instant with a victory like this. this is really essential to the popularity of the sport. all sports hope that a moment like this inspires another generation to in this case gubler golf club and have a go. it gives them a character that can get behind and here easily has the personality that people want to see succeed and i think that's the inspiring element. i wonder whether everybody has forgotten his personal problems. he is an exciting golfer.
11:36 pm
i wonder whether this is the renaissance of him as a global superstar. you need to be more than a player, more than a winner. whether people remember the headlines for the past years, we will see. it will be interesting to see what his ex—wife, if she gives an interview, says. picking up on the other story in the telegraph. loyalty to the prime minister from her chancellor philip hammond. perhaps a poor choice of language, people might say. interesting you say loyalty because he is admitting there is no doubt they will be a leadership contest quite soon in this. they will be a far wider field this. they will be a far wider field this time and he said he is pretty
11:37 pm
much the only mp not running in the conservative party. his language here, he is being tough on boris johnson, michael gove and andrea leadsom. an unintended "suicide pa ct" leadsom. an unintended "suicide pact" about michael gove and boris johnson. andrea leadsom, when she made those comments about theresa may and not being a mother and how that affected her political judgement. he has been highly critical. it's something you don't expect to hear from critical. it's something you don't expect to hearfrom philip hammond. i think sometimes that is a bit overstated because on a personal level, he is very human and quite likeable, i think. level, he is very human and quite likeable, ithink. he is level, he is very human and quite likeable, i think. he is more than he is sometimes painted in the press. this is pretty tough language andi press. this is pretty tough language and i suspect he is trying to say that these people aren't really
11:38 pm
adults. he is. hopefully we get a contest that involves people who perhaps behave in a better way than they did in 2016. henry, let's use that as a segue to get into the times piece. leadership rivals urging the pm to stay on for months? there is a little bit more to this than meets the eye. a leadership contest is a matter of when, not if. this is a hard deadline on december which is when tory mps can launch a no—confidence motion formally under the rules. there will be a leadership contest between now and december at the question is when. this seems to say the people that are not dominic raab and boris johnson, i.e., eurosceptic contenders, people would like the prime minister to stay in office, to see the first phase of brexit through. why is that? well, clearly, if there is another phase of brexit,
11:39 pm
if there is another phase of brexit, if this phase is done, a contender like borisjohnson who promises if this phase is done, a contender like boris johnson who promises to reopen the deal and content of the irish backstop, suddenly loses credibility because he has missed the boat, as it were. but if they go to brussels and bash on the doors and demand the backstop is taken out of the deal, if not, we go for no deal. you can see jeremy hunt, sajid javid, all the other names that have been mentioned, just saying, actually, theresa may might be the least bad option. let's keep our brexit at relatively brief while we have the option to do so. the guardian, a little bit more about why ecuador revoked the asylum given tojulian why ecuador revoked the asylum given to julian suns —— why ecuador revoked the asylum given tojulian suns —— assange. why ecuador revoked the asylum given to julian suns -- assange. he
11:40 pm
repeatedly violated his, he used the embassy for spying. he was taken out after thursday after they were revoking his political asylum. we are about to hear an awful lot more about what was going on there. there have been all of these reports about his behaviour, there has been video around tonight showing him on a skateboard and there have been reports of fairly disgusting things he was doing in there. it is clear that this has not been an easy situation working in the ecuadorian embassy for a long time. the story that he allegedly hit the staff at the ecuadorian embassy. it seems extraordinary. of course we haven't heard from him. we may hear in due course at some point. his lawyers are saying this is all false. the
11:41 pm
reasonjulian are saying this is all false. the reason julian assange is are saying this is all false. the reasonjulian assange is in custody is because of the changing ecuadorian politics. a new president was elected in 2017, fallen out usually his predecessor. the previous president let assange do all of these things. let assange spread the documents related to the vatican earlier this year. this was encouraged by the previous regime and the new regime didn't want any pa rt of and the new regime didn't want any part of it. also in the guardian, this plan to axe short notice evictions. a tell—tale sign that we are heading towards local elections. housing is starting to creep back onto the agenda. it is an issue that has crept down the line because of brexit but it is obviously very important for people everyday. can get rid of tenants with as little as eight weeks notice after fixed term
11:42 pm
contracts have ended. the government is saying this is one of the leading causes of family homelessness because a lot of people are now renting once they have had children. in fact, we will have a lot of people who are lifetime renters. the other thing this afflicts is that renters as a group are becoming a more powerful force and renters as a group are becoming a more powerfulforce and people renters as a group are becoming a more powerful force and people can't just simply ignore them. this isn't really something you would imagine the conservatives saying, they are traditionally on the side of homeowners and landlords as opposed to te na nts homeowners and landlords as opposed to tenants so this is showing a shift, the demographic shift and how it's affecting politics. the conservatives need to appeal to younger voters. blueback short notice evictions... —— this is the beginning of the shopping list for campaigners. the fact they are such an important group now, renters, we
11:43 pm
will be hearing more about the limits of when you can force people to move out. that may have the counterargument that you are clogging up the housing market, you make it more difficult for people to sell properties and rent them out, there are more restricted. the daily mail, its headline, jihadi bride handed legal aid. this is about shamima begum who wanted to come back to the uk after being in syria that had her citizenship revoked. she is now being given legal aid. this will be unpopular with readers of the daily mail that this has happened. 0f of the daily mail that this has happened. of course, she was stripped of her citizenship i sajid javid ——by sajid javid. this sets a rather alarming political president. while this is an unpopular thing, i think it is right that she is able
11:44 pm
to have representation to challenge it. it is a difficult thing. the accused at the time is that she had bangladeshi citizenship, that has been called into question. leaving somebody stateless even if it is somebody stateless even if it is somebody who has committed terrible things, is not a comfortable situation for the uk to have put itself in. clearly, however, she is not someone for whom anyone have any sympathy and their allegations around, in sunday's papers, saying that actually this whole picture she has painted of her life in syria is untrue and that actually, they are alleging that she was an enforcer, an enforcer of strict rules on other women which would be extraordinarily cruel if that was the case. should she have legal aid? if that is the
11:45 pm
way that she is able to challenge this than yes, unfortunately, as awful as the situation is, it is appropriate she is given legal aid. reading the story, it appears that she hasn't been applying for legal aid lawyers herself. but lawyers representing her family or appointed by herfamily seem representing her family or appointed by her family seem to have been granted to some kind of legal aid. if you look at the criteria, it is about the seriousness of the situation, about your financial ability to pay and it is specifically designed to people who may be at risk of things like forced marriage or domestic violence. you can see why if somebody in her extraordinarily rare situation would come high in that list. quickly onto the daily star, it may be passed everybody‘s bedtime but i hope you are not going to pull a sicky, they are not going to pull a sicky, they are staying up late to watch game of thrones! the last time this happened
