hello. this is bbc news, with ben brown. the headlines: australia's prime minister apologises for holidaying in hawaii as wildfires continue to sweep across three states. i get it that people would have been upset to know that i was holidaying with my family while their families were under great stress. tesco suspends christmas card production at a factory in china — following allegations of prisoners being forced to pack them. the parents of harry dunn — the teenager killed in a road accident in northamptonshire in august — are due to meet the home secretary today for talks. nearly 90 flood warnings are in place across the midlands and south of england after another day of heavy rain. a nativity scene by banksy appears at a hotel in bethlehem in the west bank. and coming up: we'll take a look at the sunday papers with our reviewers — anne ashworth, property and personal finance commentator, and the independent‘s features writer, james rampton.
9:32 am
before the papers — sport, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. good morning. liverpool can officially call themselves ‘champions of the world' after they won the club world cup. they beat flamengo of brazil in extra—time in doha. our reporter, olly foster, was there. the european champions have now gone global in what's been a remarkable year forjurgen klopp‘s side. it's nice to win another trophy, that's what we want to do, we want to keep going, win as many trophies as possible. and on to the next game, really, we've got another important game coming up next week. so, yeah, it's all go — recovery, get going again. they had questioned the timing of this tournament — would their push for the premier league be compromised by their week in the gulf? from the very first minute of the final, the gulf between the two sides looked very clear. roberto firmino should have scored.
9:33 am
his charity towards his fellow brazilians continued in the second half. the skill was sublime — that was the easy bit. his time would come. flamengo‘s diego alves was the best keeper in brazil last season, just in casejordan henderson wanted to know. everyone wanted to know what var was looking at in injury time. penalty, no penalty? inside, outside the box? let's have extra time. and it was there that liverpool found a way again. the winning groove is very difficult to get out of, no matter what the continent or the competition. that's two winners in a week for roberto firmino. room for another trophy tattoo. flamengo had time to fluff an opportunity to equalise. it's a long flight to rio to wonder what might have been. liverpool will just look forward to getting back to merseyside, where there's still work to be done. so, liverpool are world champions, but it's not going to change them — the priority remains exactly the same — get home and resume the pursuit of the title
9:34 am
that they really want. liverpool obviously didn't play in the premier league this weekend — but they are still ten points clear at the top after manchester city beat second—placed leicester. city stay third, but they're just a point behind leicester now. manager pep guardiola said kevin de bruyne was "incredible" — he did have a great game — and he set up gabrieljesus for city's third goal, as they came from behind to win 3—1. he's an incredible fighter, the way he runs, and i think playing that position, he's a little more free to attack. because our high pressing helps a lot for his intensity — he can run and make passes. he lives close to the goal. he is an exceptional player, today was one of the best performances he has played since a long time ago. arsenal and everton‘s new managers watched their sides play from the stands at goodison park. mikel arteta officially takes charge of arsenal today,
9:35 am
carlo ancelotti was announced as the everton boss shortly before kick—off. the match ended 0—0. sheffield united's impressive run continues — they're up to fifth, after oliver mcburnie scored the only goal of the game in their win at brighton. that's the first time in 26 years that they've won three games in a row in the top flight. southampton are out of the relegation zone, thanks to a 3—1 win at aston villa — who're now in the bottom three. danny ings scored twice for southampton in what was only their fifth win of the season — but the best goal of the game came from villa's jack grealish. it didn't help them, but it was an absolute cracker. celtic beat aberdeen 2—1 to stay five points clear of rangers at the top of the scottish premiership. and, lyndon dykes scored a hat—trick as livingston moved into the top six with an empatic 4—0 win over ross county.
9:36 am
the woman of the moment in darts — the queen of the palace. fallon sherrock has done it again — beating another man to move into the third round at the pdc world championship. after victory in the first round made her the first woman to win a match in the competition, she beat the 11th seed, mensur soljovic, by three sets to one. she said there was no reason she couldn't go on and win the tournament — and although she knows she's doing something very special — she was managing to stay relatively calm going into each match. when i went up there last night, i just forgot about all i done on tuesday and just focused on the game. like, i totally forgot about everything else, i didn't put pressure on myself. again, it is all sinking in still, it still hasn't sunk in, i'm still in disbelief
9:37 am
about what is going on. i definitely have helped put women's darts on the map, i have heard stories about how i have inspired more younger girls and women to take up the sport. i feel so proud of my cell because i'm encouraging more people to play, it is a great spot to get into, i'm just really proud of myself that i'm helping everyone else discover it and enjoy it for themselves. saracens are clawing their way back from their huge points deduction at the start of the rugby union season — they're still bottom of the premiership on —13 points, but they put seven tries past bristol bears, winning 10—13. exeter chiefs are now top of the table, thanks to a bonus point victory over leicester tigers — jonny hill scored their fourth, as they recovered from 12 points down to win 31—22. and there was late drama in the proili, as dragons beat scarletts with the last kick of the game, fly—half sam davies securing the points — and giving the crowd something to cheer about in filthy weather at rodney parade. the fighter being talked
9:38 am
about as britain's next heavyweight star, daniel dubois, is still unbeaten after knocking out japan's kyotaro fujimoto in london. dubois caught him with a powerful right hook in the second round — that extends his winning streak to 14, as the hype continues to build, for a shot at one of the main heavyweight belts next year. that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben with the papers. hello, and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are the property and personal finance commentator, anne ashworth, and features writer at the independent, james rampton. lets take a look at the front pages.
9:39 am
the sunday times is leading on a six year old girl from south london who found a note from chinese prisoners in a box of tesco christmas cards, claiming they've been forced to work against their will. back to brexit on the front of the sunday telegraph — which reports that house of commons speaker, lindsay hoyle, will let big ben bong to mark the uk leaving the eu at the end of january. the sunday express reports that the us ambassador, woodyjohnson, has declared brexit will pave the way for the ‘roaring twenties‘ — with wealth reportedly set to flood in from the future uk—us trade deal. the observer leads with claims that the home office has ignored more than 1,400 offers from local councils — including wiltshire, leicestershire and brighton and hove — to house child refugees. and, the star has a picture of martin peters, who died yesterday at the age of 76. he scored england's second goal in their 1966 world cup
9:40 am
win over west germany. we will be talking about all those. the first of all, this extraordinary story in the sunday times, the tesco charity card pack by china's prison slaves? this is the most extraordinary story, it is what he would call a cracking splash, it brings in everything, christmas, and charity cards and a household nine, tesco. we have a six—year—old biting cards to everybody in her class, she discovers in one of these cards a message from somebody in a chinese prison saying, we are foreign prisoners, forced to work against oui’ prisoners, forced to work against our will. please help us and notify a human right organisation. use the
9:41 am
link to contact peter humphrey. peter humphrey himself was a prisoner in this foreign part of the chinese prison. it seems like the chinese prison. it seems like the chinese supplier used by tesco to pack and assemble it christmas card boxes was using forced prison labour. tesco said as recently as last month, this company was subject to an independent audit. of course, can we get into chinese prisons?” don't think so. without sounding too boring, tesco said they never knowingly use prison labour. however, you're right, it is a fantastic story. people sometimes question what is the point of newspapers, everyone gets their news from twitter, a lot of good that is, in my view, or internet sources. this is where papers come into that room, they have the resources and
9:42 am
time to perhaps work several weeks oi'i time to perhaps work several weeks ona time to perhaps work several weeks on a story in a way that it makes a massive impact. brilliant timing, three days before christmas, household mime, retailer, the picture of a gorgeous young girl, it has everything. it has a huge impact. the cost we all use christmas cards, now they are using chinese prisons to pack them, it's a fantastic story. this is why we are all trying to reuse, recycle. people need to be aware of the ribbons that you can keep from previous years.” had wondered about that present you gave me earlier, i thought i had seen it before! there are huge sales of brown paper to wrap up presents ata time of brown paper to wrap up presents at a time when we are trying to think about the cost of christmas to everybody. however, this sweet little girl finds that prisoners subjected to forced labour are
9:43 am
packing her christmas cards. of course, the cost to tesco's reputation may be very damaging. let's go on to the sunday telegraph, they have got lindsay hoyle, the new speaker of the house of commons, saying that he would be allowing big ben to bring out to mark brexit. to me, it will be bringing out chimes of doom. that is my view is a reminder, now in total denial about the fact it is going to happen. but it is going to happen. john bercow, his predecessor, has justly said that brexit is the biggest mistake britain has makes since the second world war. however, lindsay hoyle has been very clever. in at the hustings, he was the only one of the eight candidates who didn't say how he waited in at the referendum, very important to stay
9:44 am
neutral. he said that his view doesn't matter. perhaps with his predecessor, that was sometimes forgotten, mr bercow was very much somebody who loved the limelight and be centre stage. lindsay hoyle, we hope, will take the back—seat and let parliament work out. are we guaranteed this is going to happen? because the centuries old tower is currently undergoing restoration. how safe would it be to cease work, ta ke how safe would it be to cease work, take that mark i think members of the erg are personal going to climb the erg are personal going to climb the tower and ring the bell, i have heard that. boris johnson said at these labels, reminders and leavers are the functional, are you planning to discard? no, i'm wearing it as a
9:45 am
badge of pride even though i would like the most out of date person. i think it speaks to the sort of identity politics we are now all dawning. we all identify as leavers of remainers might, they will be very ha rd of remainers might, they will be very hard to shed because we have woi'i'i very hard to shed because we have worn them with pride i shot on with anger for the past three years. we can'tjust say, anger for the past three years. we can't just say, it anger for the past three years. we can'tjust say, it is over now, i'm going to give everything up that i believe in it. i think it is time for a new tribe. people who voted tory because there may have voted remain, but they really want to get brexit down. we know that was the message that resonated with people, whatever they feel, they want to get to the end of the process. they want to the end of the process. they want to hear people like us not to talk about it any more. i know is people for you, james. are now, i'm going through massive therapy right now!
9:46 am
the sunday times, they have these awful fires the sunday times, they have these awfulfires in the sunday times, they have these awful fires in australia. the sunday times, they have these awfulfires in australia. scott morrison, the prime minister there, has been accused of refusing to meet the link between climate change and that these fires, and then, going to holiday in hawaii in the middle of this crisis. so much of this puzzles me. you have tremendous fires around australia, two firefighters have died, we know this is the consequences of climate change. you're the prime minister, you go on holiday, you fly about 11 hours to hawaii, why would you go to hawaii, which is beaches and palm trees while your own sunny country has got the highest temperatures? also, seek to conceal what you had gone, apparently, there seems to be some sort of project to say, out, we don't quite know where he is. we do not think he has gone on holiday.
9:47 am
then, he has had to come back. this is the wrong strategic move, the optics on this are all really bad. they are not good. it also shows he is not getting a grip on climate change and the consequences on his country for the future. emperor nero asa country for the future. emperor nero as a role model, fiddling as rome burns. this man has been a disgrace, refusing to say where he is going, refusing to say where he is going, refusing to say where he is going, refusing to acknowledge climate change. by the way, it also is biggest exporter of coal in the world, i wonder if there's a connection. a member of a church in fiji has said that australia was my addiction to call is destroying the pacific islands. he is completely in denial, nine people have died, 7.4 million hectares have been destroyed. how much more does it need for scott morrison to
9:48 am
acknowledge climate change exists. meanwhile, britain under water. a picture of said eyes in a cambridgeshire after the river burst its bees. this is the most extraordinary picture, essentially, i whole area becoming a lake line following these rains we have had. it is also interesting that it cast a light on areas where people have built on essentially flood plains. we have a quote from this piece from somebody in a hotel that has been built on stilts because of the potential for flooding, built on stilts because of the potentialforflooding, but built on stilts because of the potential for flooding, but the car parkis potential for flooding, but the car park is underwater. it is not quite clear where topic whether these floodwaters will have receded by christmas, but we are apparently promised better weather for christmas day. let's go from fires and floods, back to politics, actually. who will be the next labour leader? the observer has
9:49 am
david lammy. i like david lammy, he isa david lammy. i like david lammy, he is a sludge remainer,. he says he regardsjeremy corbyn is a sludge remainer,. he says he regards jeremy corbyn as a friend but is scathing about his feelings, basically saying, these are the reasons why we lost the election. it was called binns one of you, incompetence, and failure to grasp the biggest issue of the day, brexit. a pretty massive chargesheet there. i think it indicates some incredible turmoil within the labour party. if we turned further inside the observer, they have a really good breakdown of the left on it left war is going on within the labour party. rebecca long—bailey is being touted as he continuity candidate. for me, they say 1983 was the longest suicide note in history, to have a codling candidate is a sure—fire way to be out of power for
9:50 am
20 years for stop they have got to move to the centre if the want to have any chance of beating the tories within the next ten years. and, do you think they will move to the centre? this whole piece is an interesting spread, it illustrates they can't even acknowledge what went wrong, or be in any position to be able to tackle the issues. one of the things we were reading before we came in here was the letters being sent to people who lost their seats because the leadership did not give them the support it needed. these are basically in personal letters which somebody has just printed. that is a sometimes a look at the bottom from jeremy corbyn singh, so sorry for the result, thanks for all your work. not even banks, tts. this
9:51 am
is what the leadership is good doing to these mps. the infighting is so great, i cannot understand how they can be in any position where they need to tack toward the centre, but though they even need to know how? while the corbyn's, there are allegedly on the ground plus salaries, these litters were titled, dear friend, not even bothering to put their name, how disgrace. if you wa nt put their name, how disgrace. if you want an indication ofjeremy corbyn was like denial, that is it, he cannot even bring himself to use that name is. you are very cross today, james. yes, the spirit of christmas has eluded me! because i wa nt christmas has eluded me! because i want labour to do better, and i think he has been a disgrace. we need a firm opposition, nothing i have read today suggest we will have
9:52 am
that. let's talk about martin peters, ev real legend in the world football. what a real legend in the world football. world cup winner, of course, scorer of england's a second goal when the three lions beat west germany. he doesn't make me angry, he makes me very happy, i think he was a wonderful man. all the tributes have said that he was a true gentleman. i really like the daily star editorial here, it says this is a man who lifted the world cup but it is a matter of him that he will be remembered for his character as much as his sporting pro—life atomic prowess. we will miss him. i heartily agree with that. he was a great player, scored that. he was a great player, scored that second goal when he was only 23, he was described as being ten years ahead of his time. he was known as the ghost because he was to appear where defenders were not expecting him and scored a really remarkable goals. lots of people talk about his character, his honour
9:53 am
and decency — i really like that. you say he would be able to play up front in a team today because he was so good? absolutely. because he had a remarkable elusiveness, wonderful dribbler, brilliant vision — he could easily play today and still be an absolute start. i think it was sold for £200,000, erected at the time, he would now be worth about £100 million or something. forget about lionel messi, martin peters would be at the record transfer fee! let's leave with the royal family, a picture is pretty much in all the front pages, we three future kings is the headline on the mail on sunday, quite clever. the royal family mixing christmas puddings at buckingham palace. an entirely charming picture, ithink
9:54 am
buckingham palace. an entirely charming picture, i think is important that newspapers put these kinds of picture is in. we see prince george in an absolutely immaculate white shirt, very seriously staring puddings. apparently, they should stay clean until the end of the mixing. you don't think he needs an apron? no, he is getting ready for high office. the queen and charles looks delighted. a tough year for the royalfamily in delighted. a tough year for the royal family in many ways. an delighted. a tough year for the royalfamily in many ways. an image of family unity. the aspect i like is that these christmas puddings are being sold to benefit the royal legion. yes, the royalfamily being sold to benefit the royal legion. yes, the royal family has its critics. there is a certain prince andrew totally in the doghouse. and not in this picture! he is hiding behind the three, i think! doing this picture for the
9:55 am
benefit of charity is absolutely the right message to be sending. on that note, thank you for being with us for this paper review. i'm sorry for having such a husky voice, but you did all the talking which is a good thing. james things i sound like barry white. we want you to sing! next time, next time. happy christmas to both of you. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any in the last 24 are always, we have seen on the 20 to 25 millimetres worth of rain for some parts of southern and south—eastern england, round about an inch. on top of the rain we have already had the past
9:56 am
few days, still in excess of 90 flood warnings across england, all the details on our website. for the rest of sunday, overnight rain clears away eastward, spells of sunshine behind, further showers pile into western areas. so some very gusty winds were parts of south—west england, channel coast and channel islands. once the rain clears, spells of sunshine, shower is becoming more frequent across western area, is becoming more frequent across western area , may is becoming more frequent across western area, may be heavy and thundery if you do catch them, some hills those as well. looking at highs of typically 6 to 11 celsius, a cold day across the northern highlands, widespread frost overnight. little change overnight, makes available cloud, clear spells, also further showers, becoming more frequent to merge and give a longer spot of rain to parts of southern scotland, northern ireland and northern england fizzed up most of us northern england fizzed up most of us will stay frost free, but in eastern parts of scotland, temperature is likely to drop below freezing. as we sat christmas week,
9:57 am
is ready for the many, some spells of sunshine. away from love and i like my cell in scotland and northern england, plenty of dry weather here. temperatures on par with today, 6 to 11 celsius for most, still quite a cloak day for the north and east of scotland. into monday night, into christmas eve, there is an atlantic front tracking is way chiefly across southern and central parts of england and wales. it will deliver more rain. through christmas eve itself, but rain band becomes weaker, clearing to give some spells of sunshine. so michelle was feeding into parts of scotland and wales. quite a mild christmas eve, still on the kilsyth. briefly on christmas day, things are looking mainly dry undera on christmas day, things are looking mainly dry under a brief ridge of high pressure. another bit of high—pressure approaches, delivering wetter conditions on boxing day, snow now 4 northern hills also.
