and this was like hiring a hit man. although rebekah vardy hadn't pulled the trigger, she was still responsible. they also accused rebekah vardy�*s team of widespread and significant loss of evidence, including a phone being dropped into the north sea. towards the end of the day, rebekah vardy was questioned and denied being the leak before being accused of having a history of selling stories to newspapers for money. the trial may have kicked off, but there's a long way to go with wayne rooney himself expected to be called as a witness next week. colin paterson, bbc news, the high court. it's one of the most profitable gaming franchise deals in history serving more than 150 million players around the world. for the best part of 30 years, electronic arts has enjoyed huge success with its fifa series of titles. but now the company says it's splitting from fifa football's governing body. our gaming reporter

steffan powell explains why. since 1993, the fifa video game franchise has been made by one company, ea sport. the image has been changed on the screen and off it, being a cultural powerhouse played by 150 million people around the world, but ea has announced it is splitting from fifa, it didn't fancy playing the reported $1 billion price tag. it also sees the opportunity to broaden the title from beyond just gaming. instead, opportunity to broaden the title from beyondjust gaming. instead, ea sports fc will launch. the move might surprise some but it makes sense to others. it might surprise some but it makes sense to others.— might surprise some but it makes sense to others. it is where we are seeinu sense to others. it is where we are seeing games _ sense to others. it is where we are seeing games go — sense to others. it is where we are seeing games go as _ sense to others. it is where we are seeing games go as a _ sense to others. it is where we are seeing games go as a whole - sense to others. it is where we are | seeing games go as a whole really, bringing in other brands and

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geri scott, who's a political reporter at the times, and the broadcaster, david davies. will assail hello properly to both will assail hello properly to both and just a moment. first, will assail hello properly to both andjusta moment. first, let's will assail hello properly to both and just a moment. first, let's run through the front pages. the financial times, which leads with elon musk announcing he would reverse twitter�*s lifetime ban of donald trump once the site is in his ownership. he also accuses the platform of having a "strong left wing bias". the top story for metro is the state opening of parliament — with its contents read by prince charles. it reports that the queen watched the ceremony on television. the independent also pictures prince charles, but focuses its front page on criticisms of borisjohnson's supposed failure to tackle the rising cost of living, quoting sir keir starmer who described it as "a thin address bereft of ideas". the guardian similarly focussing on the labour leader's criticism

of the government's bills annouced in today's ceremony. the i too goes with the cost of living — claiming a contradiction between borisjohnson wanting to unveil a releif plan by the end of this month — and the lack of financial support mentioned in the queen's speech. the telegraph, though leads off its political coverage quoting liz truss who has said tonight she "won't shy away" from legislation that would unilaterally scrap key parts of the northern ireland protocol. the paper says an announcement could come as early as next week. let's get cracking. that evening to both. thank you for coming on and agreeing to talk us through the papers. an interesting mix, a lot of quite important stories, actually, we will start with the main one to him of the state 0pening we will start with the main one to him of the state opening of parliament today, the queen that they are, prince charles in charge of the ceremonial duties. let's start with the guardian. its

headline, "tories bereft of ideas to tackle cost—of—living crisis." joey, kick us off. this was a kind of unity of opposition here, that's one call that actually there wasn't enoughin call that actually there wasn't enough in it to help ordinary people tackle the cost of living. quite riuht. so tackle the cost of living. quite right- so 38 — tackle the cost of living. quite right. so 38 bills _ tackle the cost of living. quite right. so 38 bills in _ tackle the cost of living. quite right. so 38 bills in the - tackle the cost of living. quite | right. so 38 bills in the queens beach, 28 of them where brand—new, kind of, you know, a lot of them trailed by to revealed in detailfor the first time there were five draught bills, five that had been carried over from the last session. none of them really went anyway to address the biggest issue for the country at the moment which is that cost—of—living crisis, we are getting more and more about people struggling to choose between heating and eating and we had a lot of tory and eating and we had a lot of tory and be standing up in the commons afterwards saying, you know, taxes are too high, we need to be helping people, and of course that was the line that labour took is welcome and it felt like a queen's speech that

was rooted in the 2019 conservative manifesto, but that hadn't quite been updated to reflect what is going on now. but the pm did say was that there is more to come but we have been told there is no emergency budget, so who knows what that will be yet, but we won't know today. interesting. david, let's come to you, before we come to the issue of the legislation itself and what was in it, we have to touch on the fact that this image is on the front page of the papers, which is of prince charles. if we can see the guardian again, i don't know if we can. it's him with the crown next to him. what did you make of that today, the symbolism of it?— did you make of that today, the symbolism of it? well, ijust listed symbolism of it? well, i 'ust listed down some — symbolism of it? well, i 'ust listed down some oft symbolism of it? well, i 'ust listed down some of the _ symbolism of it? well, ijust listed down some of the expressions - symbolism of it? well, ijust listed down some of the expressions i i symbolism of it? well, ijust listed i down some of the expressions i heard today— down some of the expressions i heard today from _ down some of the expressions i heard today from different correspondence. i today from different correspondence. i watched _ today from different correspondence. i watched the coverage from half past ten — i watched the coverage from half past ten until half past 12 almost lunchtime, a historic day for the monarchy. — lunchtime, a historic day for the monarchy, a profound moment of change. _ monarchy, a profound moment of change. a — monarchy, a profound moment of change, a glimpse of the future, and

almost, yes, there are some bills in the which will certainly some will cause controversy, but that core issue of cost of living, people expecting, what is the plan? what is going to happen? what is next? dict going to happen? what is next? act is what going to happen? what is next? fact is what is next, it seems more and more pressure is piled on the government to introduce a windfall tax, self rather have been very reluctant to do so, but it's difficult to see what else they can do. restaurants and's message today, actually, the preamble to the speech was if every pound spent now to bring bills down, that's a pound that won't be available to bring bills down in the long term, of course, people are feeling the pressure now. so i'm not quite sure that that will soothe people's fears. the issue that we are facing is we've got the boss of tesco out

saying that people are limiting their shopping, saying that people are limiting theirshopping, energy saying that people are limiting their shopping, energy companies and how difficult it is commanded is a chorus from all sides saying how hard this is. so there will have to be some action. it hard this is. so there will have to be some action.— hard this is. so there will have to be some action. if we have a look at the front page _ be some action. if we have a look at the front page of the _ be some action. if we have a look at the front page of the eye, _ be some action. if we have a look at the front page of the eye, david, . the front page of the eye, david, you can talk a little bit more now of what was the substance, i suppose, of what was talked about, pm you turn on cost—of—living crisis, as i said, this same theme running throughout the opposition mps in parliament and across many of the front pages of the papers. it seems to be some doubt, is it a u-turn— seems to be some doubt, is it a u-turn or— seems to be some doubt, is it a u—turn or when is there going to be a u-turn _ u—turn or when is there going to be a u-turh the — u—turn or when is there going to be a u—turn. the words that you pm use debate _ a u—turn. the words that you pm use debate we. _ a u—turn. the words that you pm use debate we, we being he and the chancellor will be saying more on the cost—of—living crisis and that based _ the cost—of—living crisis and that based upon, well, how many days is that? _ based upon, well, how many days is that? it's_ based upon, well, how many days is that? it's not— based upon, well, how many days is that? it's not clear, asjerry has already— that? it's not clear, asjerry has already said. when anything like that will— already said. when anything like

we believe the state of being a parliament for a moment, we might come back to it at the end if there is time. for now, moving a rather interesting story, confiscated the front page of the telegraph. this is all about the northern ireland protocol. this was actually on one of the inside pages that i actually went there on the papers yesterday, and we were surprised it wasn't more prominent because of the potential consequences so significant, it's now on the front page, can you do your best to talk us through it? in simple terms, well, this is the post—brexit trading arrangement we've heard about so much. it's been causing a lot of problems, checksum goods, etc, etc. the redline really has been crossed now last week in the local elections. the largest party instrument now, sinn fein, the dop, the second largest, they are saying they are not going to agree to form a government until this is sorted, seek and say this is really, to a peak commanded does need to be

sorted. reportedly ready to wrap up this protocol, this agreement we have at the eu make that decision, but that is a very serious decision because the eu has said, actually, but it might do is suspend all cooperation with the uk in that situation except for ukraine, which would obviously cause absolute casts, their talks do to go on tomorrow and in the coming days, but it looks like it's a pretty dire situation at the moment. expertly done. situation at the moment. expertly done- david. _ situation at the moment. expertly done. david, all— situation at the moment. expertly done. david, all the _ situation at the moment. expertly done. david, all the hard - situation at the moment. expertly done. david, all the hard works i situation at the moment. expertly i done. david, all the hard works been done, and you canjust give your opinion on that now that it's all been explained stop to let me just ask a question, call me old—fashioned, didn't the prime minister get brexit done, or so he told us, and did he not sign up to the protocol? i think he did. and i'll be going to an the protocol? i think he did. and i'll be going t— i'll be going to on it? it i'll be going to on it? it appears _ i'll be going to on it? it appears that - i'll be going to on it? it appears that we i i'll be going to on it? i it appears that we are. i'll be going to on it? - it appears that we are. this is i'll be going to on it? _ it appears that we are. this is not a great _ it appears that we are. this is not a great surprise. but, you know, around _ a great surprise. but, you know, around the — a great surprise. but, you know, around the world, it is no surprise

consequences would be because obviously despite not being in the eu any more, we still have a lot of trade with them, a lot of cooperation, but if that's on security, and border checks, travel, you know, getting food in and out of the country, all of those kinds of things, there is some of the areas that could be disrupted. the argument is, you know, actually, there is disruption happening because of the part of comp, but the government would say that it's being implemented in a stricter way than they expected, now, you know, what you believe is up to you, but that is their position, and they say that it cannot go on like this and something needs to be done. just because you _ something needs to be done. just because you touched on it, it does come back to what is happening in northern ireland. we've had the elections, no power—sharing, what is it, six months, if there is nothing agreed, more elections. are be getting any sense at all that there is any realistic path to some kind of progress here?—
