The news quiz: Michael's 20 points to beat

The Daily Mail trainees had a break from me this week. Instead, they were put through their paces by Howard Smith on Monday and Tuesday. Then the subs went with Mike Brough to sharpen up their InDesign and Photoshop skills while the onliners were taught video editing by Tom Mavro. Meanwhile the Daily Telegraph trainees did journalism with Paul Jones and law and ethics with David Banks.
The online trainees are out and about tomorrow, so we did the newsquiz today.
The highest scorer for the Mail was Michael Owens, with an impressive 20 points out of 25. James Restall with 18.5, Catherine Hardy, 18, Lydia Willgress, 17, and Christopher Brennan, 16, were other high scorers. The top score for the Telegraph trainees, who dominated last week's quiz, was 14.5 by Sophie Jamieson. There are 20 questions, with five bonus points. See if you can beat Michael's 25.
