“Don’t trust Putin” was Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s warning to US President Donald Trump ahead of the “crunch Ukraine summit” on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin writes the i Paper. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been “cut out” and Downing Street says peace deal “can’t be decided without Ukraine”. Kyiv faces the “prospect of giving up territory occupied by Russia”.
“Kyiv ready to give up land for peace” headlines The Daily Telegraph, saying Zelensky “softens position before Trump and Putin’s crunch meeting in Alaska”. Also on the front page, if you want to save water, “delete your old emails” – cloud storage data centres require large amounts of energy to keep cool, the paper writes. And in UK politics, “Starmer would not describe shoplifters as scumbags” and “taxman admits using AI to snoop on cheats”.
The Times reports Trump has pledged to “try to get back” some land for Ukraine, which he referred to as its “oceanfront property”. The US president has said he will call Zelensky after his meeting with Putin. In health news, a study based on members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church – who mostly eat a plant-based diet – suggests that vegetarians are less likely to develop cancer than meat-eaters.
Trump has opened the door for Nvidia to sell its “best AI chips to China” reports the Financial Times in its top story. Alongside this is a picture of Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif who was killed “in a targeted Israeli air strike alongside five other journalists in a media tent”. He was 28. French President Emmanuel Macron has hired investigators to “probe US podcaster” Candace Owens, after he and his wife Brigitte sued the right-wing influencer last month for saying that the French first lady had been born a man.
The Guardian writes of the “global fury” following the killing of one of Al-Jazeera’s “most recognisable faces in Gaza”. Palestinian journalist Wadi Abu Al-Saud, who was near the tent when the Israeli strike occurred, said the group of journalists had “died instantly”. With them, he said “the truth has died”. In the UK, there is a warning of “drought-like weather til mid-autumn” and attacks on A&E nurses have risen by 91% in six years.
“Wait times fuel violence” against A&E nurses, warns Metro. The Royal College of Nursing told the paper that even people who were not usually aggressive lashed out.
The Daily Mail also runs with the A&E attacks on nurses on its front page, writing that there are 4,000 incidents a year. A snap of Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz-Beckham also features with the caption “two weddings and a feud” as the duo celebrate a “secret ‘second marriage'”.
“To have & to hold a grudge” headlines The Sun as its whole front is splashed with the photo of the Peltz-Beckhams renewing their vows. The pair did not invite “heartbroken Posh & Becks”.
There will be “none for the road” in a “driving laws shake-up” reports the Daily Mirror as part of a “major effort to reduce the death toll on our roads”. The drivers’ alcohol limit will be reduced according to the Mirror and older motorists may have to take eye tests every three years.
“50,000 migrant boat arrivals under Labour” writes the Daily Express. Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick called the numbers “scandalous”. A young boy is snapped splashing in a fountain as the paper warns to “keep cool as Britain basks in fourth heatwave of summer”.
Parents have been “urged to keep kids indoors amid 35C heatwave” writes the Daily Star. “Look who’s stuck in” goads its headline.
The Times highlights Donald Trump’s latest comments about Ukraine after the US president said he would try to secure the return of some land to Kyiv when he held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. The Daily Telegraph suggests Ukraine could be willing to accept a deal which would see it cede some of the territory already lost to Russia. It says President Volodymyr Zelensky has told European leaders that they must reject any settlement proposed by Trump in which Ukraine gives up further ground, but Russia could be allowed to retain some of the land it has taken.
The Guardian says there has been “global condemnation” of the deaths of five Al Jazeera journalists killed by an Israeli air strike on Gaza City on Sunday night. A Palestinian journalist who witnessed the aftermath of the strike, Wadi Abu Al-Saud, has told the paper he will stop working in response. “The truth has died, and the coverage has ended,” he says.
New figures from the Royal College of Nursing suggesting that a member of A&E staff is attacked every two hours in England are featured by the Daily Mail, which says patients are being “driven to rage” by long waits and dehumanising care in corridors. It quotes one senior nurse describing her hospital in east London as a “tinderbox” for violence after she witnessed colleagues punched, kicked and threatened with a gun.
With the headline “None For The Road”, the Daily Mirror focuses on the proposed shake-up of driving laws announced yesterday by the government, including plans for stricter drink-drive limits. The paper welcomes the suggestion that drivers aged over 70 could be required to take an eye test every three years, noting Britain is one of only three countries in Europe not to do so at present.
A plea for people to delete old emails in order to help save water is reported by The Daily Telegraph. Emails stored in the cloud are maintained by data centres which need large amounts of water to keep cool and officials from the Environment Agency say simple actions such as deleting old messages can “really help” collective efforts to reduce demand.
