on the television shows whose line is it anyway?, spitting image, and gi, has died at the age of 67. he died yesterday at his home in south london from a heart condition. rory bremner said he was simply the best, a man of brilliance. before we go, an update on the main story tonight, the us presidential election. with polling stations starting to close in under two hours‘ time, our north america editorjon sopel is in washington. you have been following every day of this campaign and indeed the full presidency of donald trump. what about your sense tonight? we had from nick earlier that abide biden camp sounded confident so what is your sense of the trump camp? —— is abide in camp. i think it is matched by nervousness. there is an uneasy

about the way things are going. if you think of it in maybe terms of six, seven, eight states will decide the election, donald trump has to more or less win everywhere so they are feeling 0k about florida, a p pa re ntly are feeling 0k about florida, apparently that is on a knife edge, what happens there but then donald trump has to win in north carolina, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, and if he starts to lose any of those states, then he loses the presidency. just a word if you are thinking of staying up all night and wondering when you will get the result. if donald trump has lost, we should note tonight. if he has one, it will probably take a few days to find out because the upper midwestern states are not going to declare for three orfour midwestern states are not going to declare for three or four days, whereas ifjoe biden wins in florida oi’ whereas ifjoe biden wins in florida or texas or ohio, which we should learn tonight, then that is more or less game over for donald trump. but as you know, any election night is nerve—racking, you are waiting to see the real data, and that is something we don't have at the

moment. it is fascinating and we will talk to you again tomorrow, of course, but for tonight, thank you very much, john sobel and the team in the states and the special programme for the results is starting at 11:30pm on bbc one. it should be a rather exciting night. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

welcome to bbc news first look at the national and international from first look at the national and internationalfrom pages in the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the telegraph's chief political correspondent chris hope and ayesha hazarika, columnist from the evening standard & times radio presenter. tomorrow's front pages, starting with, the new york times shows both us presidential candidates carrying out last—minute campaigning. the daily telegraph reports that more than 100 million

americans have voted early, indicating the highest turnout in more than a century. the gulf news ponders who will will steer the country through the surging pandemic that has killed over 237,000 people, destroyed jobs and reshaped nearly every aspect of american life. arab news is predicting a close result and — and says the us is braced for possible unrest — in the coming days. while the straits times points out that donald trump is seeking to avoid becoming the first incumbent president to lose re—election since fellow republican george w. republican george hw. bush in 1992. the frankfurter allgemeine reflects on last night's terror attack in the austrian capital, vienna. while le figaro asks why austria should be targetted by islamic extremists. and the metro says the nhs in the uk is being put on standby to roll out a coronavirus vaccine for all front—line workers from next month. so, let's begin. we start with the daily telegraph. i

imagine the movie look at that headline, massive turn out as america decides, this must be the nightmare evening for a newspaper type setters, editors, headline trimmers, how are they going to do it tonight? talk me through it. likely, the times and looks out for us likely, the times and looks out for us because we will get a clear result until after our third edition and so, we have to do a turnout story which is the ultimate beginning story. the turnout is massive, james. as you know, it makes a very hard to call this election. hard—working us editor reports there that more than 100 million, that is an extraordinary amount of people in 2016, a record 39 million recast. you have to look at the turnout story and then watch a developed of the night as other exit polls come

in. even though your brilliant coloured so no, no one really wants to read a story tomorrow morning about turnouts. they want to work out what happened afterwards. in the evening standard, how's your newsroom going to do it? to are an afternoon paper. get the best time zone of all. specifically, to help us zone of all. specifically, to help us deal with it, yes. we will have people up through the night. our team starts pretty early anyway and we will be putting the paper to bed at around 1030 in the morning and i'll be filing my overnight column by about 730 or eight o'clock in the morning and so, it will be pretty good for us. if you do want to read the latest, pick up a copy of the evening standard. have you written two colu m ns evening standard. have you written two columns ready? no, we will wait and see because last time i predicted that hillary clinton would lose come out only people this time

andl lose come out only people this time and ijust lose come out only people this time and i just could lose come out only people this time and ijust could not tell, i think, it isjust so much depends on turnouts. i've had a disco night if they're going to be up all night. i don't even know if you could call ita i don't even know if you could call it a headline. you can hardly see it on the screen there. on the top, headline, the us makes a choice in the world watches. 0.1 font. that is the world watches. 0.1 font. that is the most neutral headline anyone can have before we know the results. of course, this shows that this is how far this election is being followed around the world. it will change, we have a great online team through the night and do not worry about the paperso night and do not worry about the paper so much in terms of the coverage. yes, that picture does summarise the way the two candidates have tried to label themselves. you

have tried to label themselves. you have donald trump looking back at him ina have donald trump looking back at him in a montage there wearing a make a america great again. even in india, that will change a great deal because we are going to see in this paper, just how around the world there waiting for tender hopes for this election. do you have any good standby headline. on the knife edge, too close to call. do you have any of the standby headlines?” too close to call. do you have any of the standby headlines? i think tomorrow's headline will be, america in turmoil. i think they will not get a result on the selection into the following day of the day after that because the number of postal votes needing to be counted. and it may be that donald trump squeaks it, that may be as upsetting to a lot of people on twitter it another twitter, hashtag trump collapses tweeting. i just wonder whether donald trump might get it. what do you think? ijust come up my gut is

not giving me a clear indicator. so much of this is going to be down to the ground game on the day. the get out and vote campaign. the poles have been very good forjoe biden but remember, elections are not won by polls. elections are won by people getting into that ballot box and putting that a cross in the box and putting that a cross in the box and traditionally, the republicans have got a much better ground operation in terms of getting out that food. and so, there is so much that food. and so, there is so much thatis that food. and so, there is so much that is up for movement on this. but, if the polls are wrong again this time, i don't think anybody will ever trust the polling. we see that every time. and in the polls get it wrong that we carry on like goldfish, we forget stuff but i

remember back in 1992 at the conservatives winning the election and. again, the only way to do this is a neutral headline. and again, there is international perspective. saudi arabia has been on the edge of this. we have seen, that even implies that there was an involvement anyway. this connection between israel and some gulf arab states. this is a region that is beginning to change. this front-page year, it is trying to look at a different angle which is afforded up and down towns across the us in washington, dc and elsewhere because if it is a balance which may be donald trump might call on the night for him and made swinging forjoe biden, there could be different sides of their own groups taking to

the streets and that is the word. this report here is looking at how these deep divisions might burst out in very awkward and dreadful violence. is that due mongering by the papers and commentators to talk about potential turmoil and unrest? ido about potential turmoil and unrest? i do not think so. if there is one word that has dominated donald trump's tenure, whether this is a new term or whether this the end of his term, it is division and he has made america and emotional social and political tinderbox and whatever the result is, you know that half the result is, you know that half the voting populationjust the result is, you know that half the voting population just will not wa nt the voting population just will not want to accept the result. he is such a highly divisive character and he has divided america and has divided the world in many ways, but

interesting that the international perspective. it's not as much, my side of politics, i am much more on the progressive liberal side of politics and we have lamented what is happening. americans probably now in this moment in time, it will change in terms of the superpowers, but it is the most important political economic geopolitical country on the planet in this collection, all eyes of the rotor on the selection because thisjob is the selection because thisjob is the most important job the selection because thisjob is the most importantjob in global politics. but, whatever the result, there is going to be a lot of turmoil. by the things the donald trump brought to the world was the culture wars in these culture wars now as potent as economic ideology, political ideology. this culture war is really important and i cannot see a just going away. going back to america, the international edition. it is extraordinary to see that. wednesday the 11th of november and we

are still on the third. christopher, on the telegraph, the main story focuses on something very simple. which votes will count. it seems almost extraordinary to talk about this when the most basic fact of any election is count all the votes. and how they are all tuning up. you are old enough to remember the epic battle in 20 years ago in florida. over who should win, george w. bush and al gore. and on the eve of an election it always happens. they will define what is a vote and me punch a hole in the ballot paper, whether or not that is a valid vote and whether if it's hanging off it, doesn't mean it will not count or will it. while the swing states in florida and we just do not know and

thatis florida and we just do not know and that is the excitement of being on this programme tonight. we can remember this from 2000 and we think about post—postmarks might become the hanging chats of the year in terms of arguments about when postal votes will be delivered, when they arrived. do you expect that to become an argument in battle ground states ? become an argument in battle ground states? i think every, become an argument in battle ground states? ithink every, both become an argument in battle ground states? i think every, both parties will be looking at every single angle in terms of contesting and challenging. so, i definitely think these votes will be an issue. it's already been a huge issue in donald trump, already sort of trying to delegitimize postal votes and causing many more democrats to use postal votes than republicans. republicans tend to turn out on the day and there is already been a couple of legal rulings and i am sure this particular aspect would

definitely go through the courts. and i read a really interesting comment today about the one group of people that would not be standing up all night because they will need to sleep in the aftermath of this and that will be the lawyers. in this paper review, we are going to do something slightly different and look at tomorrow's newspapers. i have made a special request to look ata have made a special request to look at a newspaper from the past and it's entirely relevant. is the chicago tribune from 19118 he will not be able to see on your tv disc, it's not be able to see on your tv disc, its is to defeats truman. the most famous sticking headline in the history of us politics in chicago daily tribune made the call for thomas dewey thinking that he defeated harry truman. truman was victorious and he enjoyed showing off that papers mistake. i don't think if they have lifted down. interest paper —— in your newspaper, does that give you nightmares, get
