The whole encounter is a kind of pantomime, a verbal arm-wrestle in which the protagonists have largely conflicting goals

Tue 7 Feb 2023 08.00 GMTürgen Klopp takes a seat in the press conference room at Molineux and answers questions about Liverpool’s. He looks a little haggard these days, like a homeless wizard: the face worn and weathered, a thick Arctic forest of a beard hanging from him. Deep breaths. Voice cracked and familiar. Baseball cap drawn low over sad eyes.

Yet for all its inefficiency there remains a strange ritualistic power to the press conference, into which all its participants willingly buy. There are coaches for whom the press conference dais may as well be their pulpit: a piece of performance theatre as intrinsic to their brand as anything they do on a training pitch. There are journalists whose entire job revolves around press conferences: driving to them, waiting around for them to start, driving home from them.

China could unlock ‘treasure trove’ of personal information from AustraliansSky News Political Reporter Jonathan Lea investigates how much information the Chinese government is gathering from people’s cars and personal devices as its global technological influence expands.
