The international news media today is utterly fixated on the U.S. presidential election that was still undecided as Tuesday night spilled into Wednesday. Throughout the morning, coverage blanketed cable TV, online and print outlets. Politicians in the UK, Germany, France and Russia have also begun to weigh in from both sides on the hotly-contested race.
The cable news nets in France and the UK are focused on the situation while the online editions of newspapers around the globe are leading with Donald Trump’s false claim that he has already won — and the response from Joe Biden’s camp. Among those are France’s Libération, Le Monde and Le Figaro; the UK’s Guardian, Telegraph, Independent and Times; Germany’s Allgemeine Zeitung and Der Spiegel; Italy’s La Repubblica and Corriere Della Sera; Spain’s El Pais and El Mundo; and Japan’s Asahi Shimbun.

Amid a pandemic which is battering the UK economy and public health, Prime Minister Boris Johnson heaped more misery on the population today with news that the country should “get ready” for the prospect of a ‘no deal’ scenario with the EU on January 1.
Speaking from Downing Street after an EU summit both sides said was the deadline for reaching a trade deal, Johnson said the UK was heading for what he termed “the Australian solution.” The premier claimed that Brussels had “abandoned” the ambition for a Canada-style deal with the UK.
The Pm left a glimmer of hope open for a deal with the UK’s biggest export market by adding: “What we’re saying to them is come here, come to us, if there’s some fundamental change of approach.”
The UK left the EU on 31 January this year.

The interplay between animation and live action is the main selling point of this plasticky brand cash-grab
Brand Smurf retains its plasticky novelty throughout this overstuffed, Paris-set outing, which packages its funny gags between enough daddy issues for all the world's children, and occasional reaches for sincerity, undermined by the fact this is basically stone-cold Sony product. The interplay between animated and live-action elements remains a selling point: Hank Azaria again gives exemplary pantomime as Gargamel, and there's a welcome appearance from Brendan Gleeson, second only to, say, Liam Fox as the person you'd least expect to see in a Smurf movie. A painless holidaykiller, if not terribly worthwhile.

The actor is correct to complain that our taxes are misspent. But there's no evidence the rich will flee unless they pay less
They say you should never meet your heroes – or listen to them give radio interviews – as you'll only be disappointed. And so it might have been with Ray Winstone who, apropos of nothing, launched into an unrelenting attack on the UK's tax system on Monday during a conversation about West Ham on TalkSport. In dulcet cockney tones he ruefully observed: "I can see myself leaving here quite soon. I love this country but I've had enough of it. I don't see what we're being given back. I just see the country being raped … They spent billions and billions and billions of pounds on [the Olympic stadium] and we can't build hospitals and we close down fire stations."

Tory complaints over 'intrusive and unfair' nature of Oscar-tipped Margaret Thatcher biopic lead to calls for Commons debate
Conservative MPs have called for a House of Commons debate over The Iron Lady, the Oscar-tipped film about Margaret Thatcher which stars Meryl Streep as Britain's formidable first female Pm.
Ahead of the movie's release in UK cinemas next month, Tory MP for Reading East Rob Wilson said Phyllida Lloyd's biopic presented an "intrusive and unfair" picture of Thatcher, having chosen to depict her as "old, lonely, fragile and suffering from dementia" in some segments. He argued that Lloyd and screenwriter Abi Morgan ought to have focused more closely on the younger years of the Lincolnshire-born grocer's daughter, who became the UK's longest-serving 20th century leader.
