Before the papers the sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres holly hamilton. Good morning. Liverpools dominance of the premier league continues. They now have a ten point gap at the top after making it 16 league wins out of 17 with a 2 0 victory over watford at anfield. While second placed leicester could only draw 1 1 at home to norwich. Ben croucher reports. Catch us if you can. If liverpools bond is tighter than ever, right now, the gap between them and everybody else is growing ever wider. Theyve played 17 games this season, and when mo salah can produce finishes like this, you can see why theyve won 16 of them. Hes left footed as well. That might have been the obvious option, when the ball landed at his feet in the last minute. Commentator the cheek of it the sheer cheek of it. This magician had the trick with the flick. Theyre disappearing into the distance at the top of the table. We need each point we can get, because its a tough and long season. You can make earlyjudgement and early resumes or whatever we cant. We just have to recover and play the next game. When klopps side get back from the Club World Cup next weekend, theyll be up against Leicester City on boxing day.

Still, a point more than chelsea muster theyve only managed to get three in the last month. The latest defeat came at home against bournemouth. Modern technology played its part. Did the ball cross the line . Goalline technology said yes, the offside flag said no. The video assistant referee had a quick look at it. No offside, goal stood. 10. This was always going to be the case, as far as i saw it. I did get frustrated with everyone getting so excited with us because i knew that over the course of the season there would be tough moments. And now we need to show. If you wanted to knowjust how much better liverpool are than the rest, chelsea, in fourth, are as close to them as they are to watford, who are bottom. West ham moved four points clear of the relegation zone with a vital win over southampton.

While united will be feeling buoyant from that result when they host everton at old trafford looking for a win to close in on the top four. And wolves are at home to a newly reinvigorated tottenham who have won three of their four premier league games underjose mourinho. I want to work. Im going to have time to work. Which, until now i dont have. I complain every day with my staff, the frustration of, i want to do a certain kind of training, ijust cant do it. Its really frustrating, because. Ilove cant do it. Its really frustrating, because. I love the preseason to work and i dont have preseason. For liverpool their attention moves now to the Club World Cup. Theyre due to arrive in qatar this afternoon. Their opponents for wednesdays semifinal will be mexicos Concacaf Champions League winners, monterray. They beat qatari side al sadd 3 2 in their quarterfinal.

Leinsters success came at the expense of the premiership leaders, northampton, who were thrashed by 52 21. Patrick gearey reports. Doubling after dark is a famously lively experience, but its easy to lose yourself. Lights on going on. It took 90 seconds before northampton wandered into their first surprise. Here is Garry Ringrose of ireland and leinster starting as he meant to go on. Four minutes later, that he was again, right place, right time, second try. Lei nster right place, right time, second try. Leinster cantering to a 15th straight champions cup home win. Easy for northampton to retreat, but they are top of the english premiership for a reason and for a few seconds, they were smarter, stronger, faster, bigger. But dan biggars try was a rebel against the tide, the saints had a sinner in the bin as leinster went over twice more to ta ke bin as leinster went over twice more to take a bonus point before the break. 40,000 turned up to this match and they certainly got their moneys worth, northampton ran in two more tries but couldnt contain the blue waves. James lowe was the latest to take the plunge. And ringrose went to pick pocketing again for his hat trick, saints barely in the picture. Leinster will ta ke barely in the picture. Leinster will take some stopping. Patrick geary bbc news. Elsewhere in the champions cup, there were defeats for both gloucester and glasgow. Exeter play sale today while bath travel to clermont.

Hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. With me are dawn foster from the guardian and asa bennett, the brexit commissioning editor for the telegraph. Lets take a look at the front pages. Wow my brexitjumper wow my brexit jumper especially many of tomorrows front pages are already in. Dominated by the aftermath of the election. The telegraph reports borisjohnson is planning a Major Overhaul of whitehall following his election victory to ensure it delivers his agenda. The mail has the same picture that features on the front of the telegraph borisjohnson celebrating with his girlfriend Carrie Symonds as the exit poll was revealed on thursday night. Up to a third of the cabinet face the sack in a post brexit reshuffle according to the sunday times. Writing in the observer, Jeremy Corbyn accepts his personal responsibility for labours general election defeat. The worst since the 1930s. And the Prime Minister will repay the trust of the british people by protecting nhs funding in law, thats according to the sunday express. And the sunday mirror has more on the apology from Jeremy Corbyn who tells voters and the labour party, im sorry we came up short. Just a flavour of the front pages. Lets start with the picture, several pictures, Boris Johnson celebrating with his girlfriend. The moment the exit poll and when the blyth valley results came in. Almost the same picture everywhere. After the same picture everywhere. After the shock of the election, were now going to look at what happens next. 0bviously, going to look at what happens next. Obviously, the conservatives will try to use this pre Christmas Period to extend any honeymoon they have before we get down to the nuts and bolts of the government. For Boris Johnson, this is that he has these 80 new mps but it is still not without headaches he will have. To look at what will happen with brexit and lots of discussion without headaches, he will have to look at. You have to look at the fallout of each of those things and he will have to look at the fact that, as a party, they have moved towards the right now. They have these previous labour heartlands, will he have to shift towards the centre. Celebration at the moment, happy and enjoy the pre Christmas Period but new year may hold other things. What do you think of the political indications of that big majority . A lot of people saying it might mean that Boris Johnson lot of people saying it might mean that borisjohnson would go for a slight. 0r that borisjohnson would go for a slight. Or would be freed from the shackles slight. Or would be freed from the s ha ckles of slight. Or would be freed from the shackles of the erg, for one thing and might go for a softer brexit, is that how you see it . You tend to find remainers saying that because now, borisjohnson did promise in his manifesto to not extend the transition period after 2020. We have some certainties. The withdrawal deal, political declaration, they are going through without a problem injanuary, not least given the candidates they have all been elected on a platform to get this done and through. At the same time, yes, there is that a slight subtle tension in the tory party on what happens if. Because the eu have made clear, it would love to give a deal to the uk, to cut them an eta by the end of 2020. If we sign up to everything the eu once, there is a tension about do you do. Brexit chicken over an fta, may be do you extend . The thing is, given the loyalty borisjohnson will have in the party and the authority will have established, if he needed to, he could have that frank conversation with colleagues. And scores of them, like the chap who was elected in blyth valley, when he was elected, he said, thank you, boris. They know they are there thanks to him, they wont kick up much of a bus. We will come back to brexit in a minute. What else is Borisjohnson Brexit in a minute. What else is Boris Johnson likely to brexit in a minute. What else is borisjohnson likely to do . Brexit in a minute. What else is Boris Johnson likely to do . Kicked up much of a farce. Talk of a big Cabinet Reshuffle in february. And a big revolution in whitehall with departments being abolished or merged. A lot of Civil Servants will be wondering what will happen today. There has been told that Dominic Cummings will almost certainly come back and what he wants to do is com pletely back and what he wants to do is completely and utterly reorganise civil service. Looking completely differently and how departments are organised and what their priorities are. That may cause a lot of people, because, again, Boris Johnson are. That may cause a lot of people, because, again, borisjohnson will have a lot of different priorities with very wide electorate now that involves post Industrial Areas but also traditional tory heartlands. People for whom brexit is the main issue but people who feel left behind. But there may be other things as well. For instance, he may be looking at Electoral Reform and the boundary review, which got kicked into the long grass, you know. Yeah. The sunday times headline is pm to wield the axe on cabinet. Do you see that as happening . He will have to take his time because during the tory leadership campaign, it was put out that borisjohnson leadership campaign, it was put out that Boris Johnson would, leadership campaign, it was put out that borisjohnson would, you know, cut cabinet, cleave the seats off, make it a slimline but then he realised it was quite good to reward his supporters with lots of good jobs in the post. Next week, he will have to plug a gap left by alun cairns, who resigned as welsh secretary around the start of the campaign and nicky morgan, who is stepping down as culture secretary and mp. They will have to be replaced as well a zac goldsmith, who lost his seat in richmond park, environment minister attending cabinet. Although some newspapers suggest he could be given a peerage so suggest he could be given a peerage so he could stay on as a further environmentalist in the house of lords. Many reshuffle. Curious, because most powerful is to dangle the idea of a bigger reshuffle in february, post withdrawal cabinet. Because there could well be one but the threat that there could be one will again ensure that people are incredibly loyal because they will wa nt incredibly loyal because they will want to impress the pm. Sunday times is suggesting up to one third of the cabinet are facing the sack. But who knows . Lets go on to the sunday telegraph. We are already talking a little bit about what all of this might mean for the shape of the brexit arrangement in the future. The sunday telegraph insider talking about the eu dangling hope of a broader trade deal in exchange for a softer brexit, what do you make of that . We will enter more discussion 110w that . We will enter more discussion now on what could possibly come out of trade deals, etc. I agree that borisjohnson is unlikely of trade deals, etc. I agree that Boris Johnson is unlikely to of trade deals, etc. I agree that borisjohnson is unlikely to try of trade deals, etc. I agree that Boris Johnson is unlikely to try to pursue a softer brexit because he would then be seen immediately as turning against the electorate. But there is also a lot of talks that there is also a lot of talks that the deals deal that boris thrashed out was very rushed the deal. Throughout the election campaign, borisjohnson said over throughout the election campaign, Boris Johnson said over and throughout the election campaign, borisjohnson said over and over again that they would not be customs checks through the irish sea from gb to ni checks through the irish sea from gb to n and vice versa but that will obviously not be the case. Everyone has confirmed that. But there may have to be some movement if Boris Johnson doesnt want to come out and say, sorry, iwas wrong, johnson doesnt want to come out and say, sorry, i was wrong, actually this will hurt ni. That may be very symbolic. The eu may. The eu are bound to come out and say we have got a new government, we are open to more negotiation. It is mostly unlikely to happen on almost anything. Telegraph also suggesting that downing street are thinking about decriminalising nonpayment of the bbc licence fee yes. This may well be interpreted as somewhat of a warning shot across the boughs of the bbc will stop there was already one during the campaign, wasnt there . The one during the campaign, wasnt there . The first one during the campaign, wasnt there . The first blow of what they will do next. Many free marketeers will do next. Many free marketeers will think this is a subtle green light to then not pay the licence fee after all. And then cutting away at the revenue and income that the bbc may have. At the same time, it may well mean that the bbc wont have to worry so at about prosecuting so many people for not paying the licence fee. Not worry so paying the licence fee. Not worry so much about. Many more people are consuming media online and other streams like netflix, recognition that bbc will have to work out how it stays relevant as a funding model. Lets look at the other side of the coin in terms of the aftermath of the election and the labour party, dawn. Imjez aftermath of the election and the labour party, dawn. Im jez so sorry, this apology from Jeremy Corbyn, which isnt100 an apology but anyway, what do you make of what hes had to say today . It seems clear thatJeremy Corbyn is willing to come out and say there were problems with the campaign, and the ma nifesto. Problems with the campaign, and the manifesto. That is something that the shadow ministers feel and Labour Party Members feel, this is an attempt to speak to the people who still backed labour and obviously to the huge numbers of people who got out on the doorsteps, especially young people and especially members who were new in the last five years. When polling looked at the manifesto pledges, those manifesto pledges we re very pledges, those manifesto pledges were very popular. It was things likejeremy were very popular. It was things like Jeremy Corbyn were very popular. It was things likeJeremy Corbyn himself were very popular. It was things like Jeremy Corbyn himself and brexit that were swaying people. It is an attempt to actually say, look, we dont need to have a scorcher with the labour party, but we need to have a period of reflection, as everybody keeps saying, to look at what we can do in the next five yea rs what we can do in the next five years to help get a Labour Government again. It is a mea culpa without saying everything we did was wrong. Yes. Which takes us ought to what happens to the future of the labour party. Weather, you know, its going to go right or left . Who ta kes its going to go right or left . Who takes over whether its going to go. The telegraph have moderates in final battle for hearts of the party, is that how you see it . Sadly, those who work auburn sceptic have been hoping that he leaves pretty darn pronto corbyn sceptic. If pretty darn pronto corbyn sce ptic. If he pretty darn pronto corbyn sceptic. If he stays on for the next few months, they will fear he and his allies will try to make it even easier for someone like rebecca long bailey, john mcdonnell, a true believer like that, to take the reins. Whereas, last gasp for people like keirstarmerat reins. Whereas, last gasp for people like keir starmer atJess Phillips, if they want to stop that left shift even further and Jess Phillips. Extra questions will have to tackle that makes a chewy contest while the tories are steaming ahead with brexit. Namely, that by the time they have a new leader, brexit will have happened, the uk will be out of the european lutein. To put it bromley, they can argue remain and we will be on the ballot paper, it is irrelevant, it would be would they like to rejoin and that is different . If you want to rejoin the eu, they will expect you to sign up belts and braces for the whole package, euro and everything else. Lets talk specifically about runners and riders because the race is under way, effectively. The 0bserver has the race begins at the next labour leader is likely to be a woman. Most of the most prominent contenders are women. We have just heard, actually, that lisa nandy is saying she is considering running for party leader, saying that on the andrew marr show. What do you make of that 0bserver write up of the contenders . Interesting. It is most likely a woman. Keir starmer is talked about very highly by a lot of people, but i think he will either go for deputy leader or pull himself out entirely. It is most likely to be rebecca long bailey or angela rayner. Likely lisa nandy will run. Any moderates who do run will be trying to say corbyn as has failed and Jeremy Corbyn failed. The problem has changed so much in the last ten years that all of the young people who were out door knocking and gave up so much of their time will not want. They were very happy with the manifesto and they will not want to return to a period where they werent Party Members and they felt that blair and brown had abandoned so many young people and working class communities. Who do you think the tories would most fear out of that selection, there is and riders . The tories would find it most tricky dealing with a Jess Phillips type character or keir starmer, someone who in Keir Starmers case has the incisiveness and argument and does not have Jeremy Corbyns flaws orJess Phillips, someone who can really resonate and browse on twitter, the populace generally. Does it matter if it is a remainer . Somebody who is instinctively doubt that we have learned two things from Jeremy Corbyns attempt to straddle the divide and brexit, it is hard in a way because there are those labour are leavers instinctively in a sense. Jess phillips and keir starmer may well be more remainy and pro eu but they need to bring along the labour leavers. They may be tory vote rs the labour leavers. They may be tory voters now. I sympathise with dawn, it isa voters now. I sympathise with dawn, it is a different party. As much as we safe Jess Phillips and keir, they can fight the tories but they have to win first, different story. The implications for scotland again in the observer a victory injo swinsons seat helps snp build support for the next war of attrition, is that what it will be . I think it will be. Essentially, the snp have won incredibly in scotland. I dont think its really been talked about enough. It feels as if the Political Class has looked at the Political Class has looked at the north of england, ignored wales and scotland and Northern Ireland. We have talked about it a fair bit too much focus on the north of england but scotland, essentially, have said we want to leave, we will back the snp and the snp want to leave. 0bviously, back the snp and the snp want to leave. Obviously, the snp now want the referendum and borisjohnson has said we wont give it to you. Do you see borisjohnson said we wont give it to you. Do you see Boris Johnson ever giving said we wont give it to you. Do you see borisjohnson ever giving a referendum on Scottish Independence . He is leader of the conservative and unionist party, he would do his damnedest not to let that happen. The snp, they ask for a referendum every day of the week, this is their constitutional function. You have the rock meeting immovable object. A butting of heads. It depends on what the Nicola Sturgeon can do to try and force his hand. There is only so much she can do. You have to have westminsters consent. Unlike the Northern Ireland which is in the good friday agreement. Lets end away from the general election and politics. Lovely story in the telegraph about what they say is the first ever letter to santa claus on record. Tell us about that, dawn. Researcher, which sounds like a wonderfuljob, who researches letters to father christmas, in 1895 found the first british one that the post office had records of receiving from a small girl, ashley march who a p pa re ntly from a small girl, ashley march who apparently asked for a box of paints and then received it. She must have been. Delighted quite right. This comes along after a study showing the top three things children would most want to ask santa for, smartphones, computers and wireless phones. Have you written your list to sa nta . Phones. Have you written your list to santa . The contents of my letter are private. Would you like some more sweaters . I dont want to tempt fate a wider variety of sweaters, rather more fashionable ones. What about you, dawn . As a kid, i always wa nted about you, dawn . As a kid, i always wanted a guinness book of World Records and never got one. I suppose you didnt get the majority you wanted. But as a kid i got three of them. With the guinness book of records fit into a stocking . Probably not. Maybe it is too big, maybe that is why you never got it. A much smaller very good to see you both. You should aim smaller. That is it for the papers this morning. Dont forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. Its all there for you seven days a week. And if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. Thank you dawn and asa, goodbye. Well done, thank you, that was lovely. We have seen a bit of snow working in overnight, particularly across the high ground of the uk but we have seen some snow pushed down towards the sea level across north east england. This was the scene first thing this morning in redcar and cleveland. It has been an icy start for some but it is a day of sunshine and blustery showers. The satellite picture shows the extent of the shower clouds we have seen moving in across the uk with the next batch of shower clouds waiting to move in. The showers most frequent across wales and southern coastal counties of england although they will merge together to give some lengthy spells of rain through scotlands central belt so maybe still a bit of winteriness up over the hills. There will be some sunshine between the showers, some areas might completely miss the showers, perhaps parts of nottinghamshire, lincolnshire and eastern areas of scotland seeing some reasonable weather. Chilly in the north, temperature 3 5, most of england and wales 7 9 degrees. The winds perhaps making it feel a bit cooler than that. 0vernight tonight, the south westerly winds most of england and wales 7 9 degrees. 0vernight tonight, the south westerly winds continue to drag in showers, particularly around our western and Southern Coasts and hills. Temperatures in england and wales 3 6, but for the far north of england, Northern Ireland and scotland, its colder, cold enough for some patches of frost and therefore a risk of a few icy patches through the night. The week ahead, we start off with that sunshine and showers theme, quite cool weather and drier on wednesday before milder air works in later in the week with outbreaks of more general rain on the way. Monday, sunshine and showers once again, but the showers will be less frequent with the winds not as strong and bigger gaps in between the showers, more in the way of sunshine. The exception to that theme will be in western scotland where the showers merge together to give longer spells of rain, yes. Cold enough for some snow in the scottish hills as well, things could turn quite icy here. Monday night and tuesday, this area of low pressure pushes north out to france, bringing rain to central and eastern areas of england. West of england, wales, Northern Ireland and scotland, sunshine and showers, although the showers will be fewer and further between and more dry weather around. But it will be cold for most, temperatures 4 or 5 celsius widely, 8 or 9 with the rain and cloud across east anglia and south east england. Beyond that, it turns milder and with the milder air arriving, it turns wetter with temperatures up to 12 in london on thursday. This is bbc news. Im ben brown. The headlines at ten.
