In a momentous week, Liv wins the newsquiz

I have just spent a very busy week in the newsroom with ten trainees from the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, MailOnline and DailyMail.com. They wrote stories, had a day with the lawyers, met the editors and managing editors and were briefed on how to pitch stories. They will be presenting ideas to the news-editor and travel editor next week. The best intro of the week award went to Will Holmes. As always we finished with the newsquiz. This week's runaway winner was Liv Dean with 20.5. Well done to her. The top online solo scorer in last week's newsquiz was Janet Boyle also with 20.5, ahead of Robert Rea on 19, Toby Brown on 18.5 and Gavin Devine and Marguerite Turner on 16.5.

The top teams were the Best of Brest (Our Peter, Sarah, Joe, Andrew and Barry) and Maura and Phil Parsons with Will and Alexandra on 20. They were ahead of Lou and Joe Hart on 19.5 and Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe on 16.5. Here is this week's quiz where two stories, a new Prime Minister and a new King, dominated. Give it a go and see if you can beat Liv's score.
