hopeless from the start. it was beyond the statute of limitations. there was no substance to it and his lawyers tried to sue us under the wrong role which was hilarious in some regards but not others. this case was struck out on his reviews right were repealed quickly. but the cost in the case because we were uninjured in this one case have risen to about £800,000 which is a lot of money for a small company like ours. trump is in breach of a high court order dating from february in which he was told to pay us an initial £300,000 of that money and we have a final hearing in march to arrange cost so it is dragging on for another year after it struck out. so dragging on for another year after it struck out.— after it struck out. so the resident _ after it struck out. so the resident will _ after it struck out. so the resident will act - after it struck out. so the resident will act in - after it struck out. so the j resident will act in breach after it struck out. so the i resident will act in breach of a court order to pay his costs. yes, absolutely.— a court order to pay his costs. yes, absolutely. any intention to -a ? yes, absolutely. any intention to pay? does— yes, absolutely. any intention to pay? does not _ yes, absolutely. any intention to pay? does not look- yes, absolutely. any intention to pay? does not look like i yes, absolutely. any intention to pay? does not look like it l to pay? does not look like it

december is a chance to look back on the year that was, of the challenges, achievements and iconic moments in history. but every year, there is one artist who turns the end—of—year reflection into an art form. this is the departed, a work by the artist chris barker. it's a collage, carefully calibrated, depicting those who've sadly left us in 202a. you might recognise the style. it is done in the style of the beatles�* eighth studio album, sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band. let's speak to chris barker, a london—based artist who makes unique illustrations of iconic and culturally significant moments. he isa he is a regular here and we love this story! for those who haven't seen it before, tell us the amount of work that goes into this. when do you start your clutch? i into this. when do you start your clutch ?_ into this. when do you start our clutch? , . ., ~ your clutch? i start making the arrest in january, _ your clutch? i start making the arrest in january, really, i arrest injanuary, really, following the news and see who has passed away and keeping a note on my phone. i don't actually start making it until

difficult one because obviously, his voice is the iconic thing about him. he was darth vader or in the line king. but seemingly in coming to america, he wore a ryan's helped over his soldiers i think that cover that. i have sheuey think that cover that. i have shelley duvall in the shining pose and i have quincy shelley duvall in the shining pose and i have quinchones who for me, was probably the most significant money out of those four. a huge moment when he died —— the most significant one out of this war. he has been only present for a decade in pop culture, there is no defining image of him so it was really hard to find something that was going to represent him. at one point, ijust considered putting an album cover like comic thriller. i5 cover like comic thriller. is it a bit like for collectors, i am thinking of football can't

turner, the sun was shining, but this year i think it has been a bit of a darker year. lets bring in our panel because they have both been looking at it and i asked them to pick out one person from the photograph. the mistype with you, chris. let me start with you, chris. let me start with you, chris. let me start with you, chris. let me start with a bbc disc jockey— let me start with a bbc disc jockey and i grew up listening to his — jockey and i grew up listening to his banter and characters. he was— to his banter and characters. he wasjust so to his banter and characters. he was just so committed to his banter and characters. he wasjust so committed and innovative. but i think from later— innovative. but i think from later life _ innovative. but i think from later life has to be alex... who — later life has to be alex... who represents what russia could — who represents what russia could and should be, a model of courage — could and should be, a model of courage and an incredibly brave. _ courage and an incredibly brave, direct man who is creative _ brave, direct man who is creative and should have then able _ creative and should have then able to — creative and should have then able to run for office and lead his country into the future.

a couple of goal keeping errors from fraser forster let them back into the game, this here from amad diallo making it 3—2. but son heung min has just added a fourth for spurs direct from a corner. lt—2 withjust injury time remaining. in the europa conference league, chelsea are finishing the final round of group matches on a high. they're beating shamrock rovers 5—1 with just a few minutes to go. it was a tough night at stamford bridge for the visitors from south dublin. they were 4—1 down by half time with spanish teenager marc guiu bagging a hat—trick. the victory will see chelsea finish at the top of the league with a100% record. there's an upset on the cards in edinburgh where hearts are on the verge of being knocked out of the competition on goals scored. they're currently drawing two all to the moldovan champions petrocub. welsh champions the new saints are currently heading out of the competition. they took the lead twice against slovenian champions celje, but held it for only a minute each time and are

currently losing 3—2. to the premier league now. good news for everton fans, just in time for christmas! they've been waiting a while but now the takeover by the friedkin group has been confirmed by the premier league, ending the tenure of farhad moshiri. the deal is believed to be worth in excess of £400 million. it also means everton are the tenth club in the premier league, with a majority ownership from the usa. supporters will be hoping the new owners can bring back some long—awaited optimism after a difficult time. it has been very difficult for everton fans. just tucking them today after their takeover, they are relieved but as you mentioned there, they have then bitten before so it is cautious optimism. but chatting to several of them know that the group that bought 94% of them, they know they have deep pockets and are multimillionaires. the leader

of the group is more than £6 billion. i guess they have seen it before. they will be watching and judging them on their actions, and not their words. now to the big fight happening in saudi arabia on saturday, and you may have noticed how little tyson fury has said ahead of his rematch with oleksandar usyk. his total contribution to the pre—fight press conference in saudi arabia. 30 seconds. here it is, in full, with bleeps. lam going i am going to dish out a lot of pain expletive there is going to be a lot of pain. talking has been done, i joked. this time i am serious and expletive, watch me go to work expletive. i can't wait for saturday night. thank you to everyone involved and god bless. the two men then stood head

to head for over nine minutes after the press conference. boxing writer steve bunce has been following the careers of both men. he says he finds this incarnation of tyson fury slightly worrying. he is under a lot of pressure. he is under a lot of pressure. he is under a lot of pressure. he is no longer unbeaten and secured the place in the league table. his legacy needs a victory on saturday. so at least —— perhaps at some point in the last few months that has dawned on him, let's stop joking around. but i think part of what tyson needs is to surround himself with people who break himself. he needs to surround himself with people who say that get milk and ice cream. he needs that. i'm not sure i like this tyson cat nick fury and we don't know if he likes this version of himself —— this tyson theory. he just

wants to get rid of... -- this tyson theory. he 'ust wants to get rid of. . .* wants to get rid of... united have managed _ wants to get rid of... united have managed to _ wants to get rid of... united have managed to pull - wants to get rid of... united have managed to pull one . wants to get rid of... united i have managed to pull one back in injury time butjonny evans pulled it back in the spurs are leading 4—3. hello there. the festive forecast into next week does look fairly mild, so a very slim chance, i think, that any of us will see a white christmas. but before we get there, the weather really changeable in the run up to christmas. some rain around on friday, some very strong winds through the weekend, could cause some disruption, and then temperatures will be on the rise as we look towards christmas. now, to start friday, we're going to be seeing a weather front that starts in the west, pushes its way slowly east through the course of the day. another frontal system waiting in the wings for the weekend. now, through saturday, that brings some milder air and some strong winds. by sunday, the air coming in from the north west, so a colder day on the cards. now, for the rest of thursday

evening overnight into friday, then, we keep the clearer skies for central, southern and eastern parts of england and wales. but more cloud and outbreaks of rain across the north west. and that means milder weather here, so 6—7 degrees actually at six in the morning. but we could still see a touch of frost for some central and southeastern areas in particular. bit of sunshine for east anglia in the south—east lasting through the morning. we've got that rain initially for scotland and northern ireland, that tracks into parts of northern england, wales, the south west of england, too, one or two heavy bursts, followed by some sunshine and showers moving in from the north—west. temperatures a couple of degrees warmer than thursday, between about 8—11 degrees, but you've got the breeze and the showers, so it's not going to feel particularly warm at all. into saturday, then, low pressure sitting to the north of the uk, lots of isobars on that map. the winds are wrapping around that low pressure bringing blustery showers. strongest of the winds for the western isles could reach around 80 miles an hour. further south, we've got this cloud across central and southern england and wales, some patchy outbreaks of rain. more sunshine further north, but those blustery showers, and temperatures only 8—9 for parts of scotland, but 11—13 for the rest of the uk. so it's looking mild, but then turns colder again into sunday because the winds

come in from the north—west, bringing a mix of some sunshine and some heavy showers. some of these showers on sunday a little bit wintry, could be some hail, some sleet, even some snow over the highest ground of scotland. really gusty winds, 60mph or so, in the west. so it is going to be a windy, cold, wintry—feeling day. i think, with top temperatures between about 6—9 degrees. and then looking ahead towards the christmas week, and you'll notice those temperatures on the rise. 13—14 degrees for christmas eve, christmas day and stays mild into boxing day. some rain in the north—west, but drier towards the south. bye— bye.

i've never regretted my decision to go public, says gisele pelicot, as her ex—husband is jailed for 20 years, after a rape trial that has caused shock waves across france.

crowd boos. 50 other men are also found guilty — most of them are jailed. some are booed as they're bundled out of court. across france tonight, people reacting to this historic case. those relatively light sentences, all those guilty verdicts, and of course the incredible role played by gisele pelicot herself. and our other main stories on tonight's programme... labour party grandee lord peter mandelson is expected to be the new uk ambassador to the united states. crowd shouts. a furious reception for president macron on the french indian ocean territory of mayotte, which has been devastated by a cyclone. a marathon four—hour press conference by president putin — in which he stoutly defends his role at home and abroad. #jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.#
