APPLE LAUNCHES NEW IPHONE X AND IPHONE 8

The star of the show is set to be the iPhone X, a premium version of Apple's flagship device, which will feature an all-screen display, facial recognition software and wireless charging. Apple is rumoured to have priced the high-end iPhone X at a record £1,000.

The event will start at 10am Pacific time (6pm UK time) and the Telegraph will be following the latest updates as they happen. 

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the launch.  

Apple's annual launch event will start at 6pm UK time in the Steve Jobs Theater at its new campus in Cupertino, California. Telegraph Technology Editor James Titcomb is on site to bring us insight as the evening progresses.  
The company will live stream the event on its website here. Viewers need to be running the correct software on their Apple or Windows devices, which are listed on the Apple page. The Telegraph will also be following the news as it happens on the day. 

A major leak from Apple over the weekend revealed key features of the iPhone X, including a 5.8-inch screen that almost fills the front of the device. To make way for the display, Apple is rumoured to have removed the home button and Touch ID. These will be replaced with face-scanning technology that can identify owners and unlock when they look at it, according to leaks. 
The 3D scanning camera will be able to create animoji, a new form of moving emoji that reflect the users' facial expressions. It could also recognise when users are looking at it and silence notifications. 
The iPhone X is anticipated to be Apple's first phone that supports wireless charging.   
In addition to the iPhone X, Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. There are few details available about the devices, which are likely to be upgraded versions of the current offering. 

Rumours have suggested Cook will also unveil a 4K Apple TV, third generation of the Apple Watch that works independently from the iPhone, and an update for its AirPod wireless headphones. And he could provide additional details about the Home Pod smart speaker, due for release in December, and iOS 11, due for release in the days after the event.

5 CIVILIANS KILLED BY AIR STRIKES IN YEMEN… Air strikes killed five civilians and wounded at least 14, including four children, outside the northern Yemeni city of Saada on Tuesday, a Reuters witness and medics said. A Saudi-led coalition that intervened in Yemen’s war in 2015 to try to restore its president to power has conducted frequent air strikes targeting Iran-aligned Houthi rebels and has often hit civilians , although denies ever doing so intentionally. Medics and a Reuters photographer who saw the wreckage in Saada said an initial air strike destroyed a house in the outlying Sohar district of the city, the main stronghold of the Houthis who control much of northern Yemen. The medics said twofurther air strikes hit paramedics who were trying to lift the victims from the rubble. A spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition could not immediately be reached for comment. The coalition entered Yemen’s conflict three years ago against the Houthis after they ousted...

European Union strikes out UK’s ideal approach to future trade Brussels claims ‘three basket’ approach would breach agreement to prevent ‘cherry-picking’ by UK The EU has ruled out the UK government’s preferred approach to a future trade deal, describing it as a risk to the European project, just as Theresa May is seeking to strike an agreement on the way forward within her cabinet. The inner cabinet is meeting at Chequers on Thursday to try to find an agreement among warring cabinet members on an approach sketched out to ministers by the prime minister’s Brexit adviser, Olly Robbins. Under what is understood to be the prime minister’s preferred model, the UK would stay lock-step in regulatory alignment with the EU in some areas while finding different ways to achieve the same outcomes in other sectors. In the so-called“third basket” of sectors, the UK would in time diverge from the EU and go its own way under the model. Yet, with something close to incend...

REFUGEES WELCOMED BY CANADA,BUT  NOW STRUGGLES WITH BACKLOG. A wave of asylum seekers entering Canada this year has exacerbated a backlog of refugee claims that the government is struggling to manage, leaving tens of thousands of people stuck in bureaucratic limbo even as they try to build new lives. Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board says it has a backlog of 40,700 cases .  More than 10,000 asylum seekers  have crossed illegally into Quebec from the United States since July alone. But the board has the money and staff to process just 24,000 cases a year, meaning that many people will have to wait around 16 months for their case to be heard. “The strain on the organization to handle this many people’s hearings is enormous,” Shereen Benzvy Miller, the head of the board’s refugee protection division, told a parliamentary immigrations committee this month. “The math is clear,” she added. “Unless you put more resources to this problem, then it takes longer ti...
