tv The Papers BBC News October 25, 2022 11:30pm-12:00am BST
11:30 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the journalist and author claire cohen and alfie stirling, who's chief economist at the new economics foundation, a left—leaning economics think tank. welcome back to you both. a few more papers are already in. let's just look at some of the front pages now. once again, the story that features heavily on the majority of the frontpages is britain's new prime minister. the metro pictures rishi sunak meeting king charles as he forms a new conservative government.
11:31 pm
the i newspaper focuses on what it calls "sunak�*s crisis cabinet". jeremy hunt and james cleverly remain as chancellor and foreign secretary. a lot of old faces in there as well. the guardian labels sunak�*s cabinet reshuffle as a gamble, referencing suella braverman�*s return as home secretary after being sacked from the role due to a security breach less than a week ago. the times reports sunak will hold talks with mr hunt, who is considering postponing the fisical statement on october 31st, to give himself more time to close the £40 billion hole in the nation's finances. the daily mail's front page comes out in support of mr sunak — "leave it to me, your majesty" is its headline. "mistakes were made, i'll fix them"
11:32 pm
is the headline in the telegraph, referencing the last tory government's mini budget which spooked global markets. meanwhile, the daily express reports on mr sunak�*s solemn tone in his first speech as british premier — vowing to earn the nation's trust. the economist makes its feelings pretty clear by posing a question — "rishi sunak�*s firstjob? clearing up his own mess." no mention of lettuce this time, but anyway we will come to that perhaps in a minute. claire and alfie, welcome back. claire, let's start with you. daily mail, as you would expect, putting his weight behind tory government. "leave it to me,
11:33 pm
your majesty," and i think that is what a lot of tories will be hoping, that the he is the man to fix this crisis. , . . , , crisis. they certainly will. it is the picture — crisis. they certainly will. it is the picture we _ crisis. they certainly will. it is the picture we expect - crisis. they certainly will. it is the picture we expect to - crisis. they certainly will. it is the picture we expect to see, | crisis. they certainly will. it is . the picture we expect to see, but crisis. they certainly will. it is - the picture we expect to see, but it is quite a momentous picture, really, isn't it? because it is hard to believe that it is seven weeks since we saw the late queen at balmoral welcoming liz truss as prime minister. it is quite a momentous moment in some ways, although her first herfirst prime minister her first prime minister was churchill, so perhaps king charles would not think rishi sunak is quite as mantis as that, but you're right, the photograph... how we got the man who can forfill that the photograph... how we got the man who can for fill that promise? the peachy cave outside downing street today certainly was very serious and gave the impression that he thinks he has all the goods to do so, but a big week ahead for rishi sunak was
11:34 pm
in some ways, this first evening, when he has had to reshuffle the cabinet, is going to be is easiest because his in trait as we all know is overflowing for the coming week and beyond. the is overflowing for the coming week and beyond-— and beyond. the pressure on this man, and beyond. the pressure on this man. 42. — and beyond. the pressure on this man. 42. he _ and beyond. the pressure on this man. 42. he has— and beyond. the pressure on this man, 42, he has only _ and beyond. the pressure on this man, 42, he has only been - and beyond. the pressure on this man, 42, he has only been an - and beyond. the pressure on this| man, 42, he has only been an mp seven years, he has not got experience of all the other portfolios that prime ministers need to get their heads around, defence, foreign affairs and everything else. do you think he is equipped in terms of the decisions he has got to make, because that is going to be the issue, isn't it? tory party unity, getting the country on board as well, because there is no way of putting it, he is going to have to raise taxes and make cuts. he putting it, he is going to have to raise taxes and make cuts. he is the ouncest raise taxes and make cuts. he is the youngest prime minister— raise taxes and make cuts. he is the youngest prime minister for - raise taxes and make cuts. he is the | youngest prime minister for a couple of centuries, so it is completely striking in— of centuries, so it is completely striking in terms of age and experience, but it is a double edged swore _ experience, but it is a double edged swore it_ experience, but it is a double edged sword. it means he does come into debrief_ sword. it means he does come into dehrief on — sword. it means he does come into dehrief on a —

this second look at the papers. hello. i'm marc edwards with your sport. we're at the business end of the champions league group stage. and there were three british sides in action tonight and the fate of all three have been decided. chelsea have booked their place in the knockout stage — they beat rb salzburg 2—1. manchester city will finish top of their group after a goalless draw at borussia dortmund, but it's an exit from european competition for celtic, who finish bottom of theirs following a 1—1 draw at home to shakhtar donetsk. olly foster reports. six weeks ago, chelsea lost their opening match in the champions league. that triggered thomas tuchel�*s sacking. graham potter was brought in and they haven't lost since. midway through the first half, they were heading towards another victory. mateo kovacic with the opener

against salzburg, one for the cameras. they really should have had more than one, though, and early in the second half, junior adamu pulled salzburg level. the goal that guaranteed chelsea a place in the last 16 was a thing of beauty. kai havertz picked his corner and curled the winner, sending them into the knockout stage with a game to spare. erling haaland scored 86 goals in 89 games for borussia dortmund, a strike rate he's kept up at manchester city. but returning to his former club, he was kept quiet, so quiet — thanks in part to mats hummels — that the norwegian was taken off at half—time. that was just one tactical tweak and city did win a penalty, not that riyad mahrez could put it away. it was just one of those nights for city, although the draw does mean that they win their group. celtic knew that they couldn't get out of theirs even before kick—off at parkhead — third the best they could hope for, something that would give them europa league football in the new year. they needed a win for that.

and giorgos giakoumakis kept that ambition alive, but shakhtar donetsk snuffed it out, mykhaylo mudryk�*s brilliant run and shot that leftjoe hart flapping at thin air. the ukrainians can still reach the knockout stage after that draw, but for celtic, that was the knockout blow. olly foster, bbc news. burnley moved to the top of the championship with a 1—0 win home win over norwich city, although the scoreline doesn't do justice for the dominant hosts, the clarets threatening to score almost every time they went forward. the goal came ten minutes from time, grant hanley adjudged to have handled the ball in the area and jay rodriguez stepping up to seal the three points for vincent kompany�*s side. it's not four wins on the spin for coventry, but the hosts did rescue a point late on against rotherham. 2—2, it finished. you see that at the top of your screen. a draw not enough to carry coventry out of the relegation zone, but they're moving in the right direction. rotherham with just the one
