The Italian businessman at the centre of a furious row between France and Italy over whose intelligence service was to blame for bogus documents suggesting Saddam Hussein was seeking to buy material for nuclear bombs has admitted that he was in the pay of France.

Italian diplomats have claimed that, by disseminating bogus documents stating that Iraq was trying to buy low-grade "yellowcake" uranium from Niger, France was trying to "set up" Britain and America in the hope that when the mistake was revealed it would undermine the case for war, which it wanted to prevent.

As a non Briton, what is the political stance of the Telegraph? Is it about like American "tabloid" press reporting headlines about the skull of Moses being found in someone's attic? Do they have any journalistic standards, or are they a gossip magazine along the lines of US rags like "People" or "Us?"
Does this paper publish stock quotes and weather forecasts, or just "UFO army seen of Capitol" type headlines?
Just wondering.
