we begin with the guardian who say european council president donald tusk has given his implicit backinglection with a call for anti—brexit campaigners to keep fighting in the month before britain goes to the polls. meanwhile in the telegraph, uk pm borisjohnson was prepared to put up " paper candidates" in the labour—held constituencies, in order to give an advantage to brexit party rivals. however, the deal was turned down by mr farage, who insisted on the tories withdrawing their candidates altogether from the seats. the independent reports on a pledge from the labour government to eliminate the gender pay gap by the end of the next decade. the party has vowed to acheive the goal even as new research claims it could take 60 years to close the disparity under current plans. the mirror has gone totally green in an special issue of the paper dedicated to climate change. on the front page, the paper asks on behalf of new born babies if there will be a world healthy enough for them to grow up in. and finally the mail, the duke and duchess of sussex will notjoin the royal family for christm

that's right, our viewers will be familiar with donald tusk as somebody who has been the top officialand gave something of a farewell speech in which, as you suggest, he made it pretty clear that he believes brexit could still be stopped, and he said he wanted to give hope to people on that side of the argument. it's hard to see that as anything other than backing for one side in this election. 0n as anything other than backing for one side in this election. on that other side, though, i understand that the government is to make it clear to brussels that, despite repeated requests from the eu, they are not going to put forward a british name to be the uk commissioner when there is a big change of all the teams in brussels that are in charge of the important decisions. now, brussels has been asking the british government to do this for some time now. boris johnson promised that he would not. but i understand tonight sir tim barrow, our eu ambassador in brussels, has written to the commission, saying this will not happen because of the guidelines during the election, essentially saying

this is a parting shot from european council president donald tusk. what did he have to say?eresting. he is looking at here, his opinions, or he gave his opinions on trump, and as you have said, he has suggested he poses one of the biggest challenges to europe, and trump, he is saying, is praying for the breakup of europe. again, vocally trump has been very, very forward in saying his support for brexit and for borisjohnson saying his support for brexit and for boris johnson and saying his support for brexit and for borisjohnson and the breaking up. so tusk is basicallyjust saying trump is determined to weaken the eu, and breakup europe. it's quite an extreme vision. yes, charles michel, also, the man who is going to be taking over today, talking about the future for the next few yea rs, about the future for the next few years, in brexit and the difficulties that the eu may face over future trade talks. ella back that's right, the focus has been so much on sort of brexit, will he get it done, how will he get it done? but let's not forget that there is 110w but let's not forge
