'Merci, Paris!' and 'lost respect for police'

Ms Cooper travelled to Southport following the attack to pay tribute to the victims

The Times reports that the government is planning to give councils the power to compulsorily - and cheaply - purchase what was previously greenbelt land to help fulfil its pledge to build 1.5 million homes by 2030. Caps would be introduced to stop landowners making too much profit from selling off land that had been ineligible for development. The paper says campaign groups are likely to mount fierce opposition to the proposals, though planners are arguing it may be the only way some councils can meet their new housing targets.

The home secretary tells the Daily Telegraph she believes, in the wake of the recent unrest, that Britain has lost its respect for the police. Yvette Cooper says a soft approach to justice has led too many people to think that crime has no consequences. She writes in the paper that she's not prepared to tolerate what she calls the brazen abuse and contempt which a minority have felt able to show for "our" men and women in uniform. Action has to be taken, she argues, to restore respect for police and the law.

According to the Daily Express, junior doctors are being urged to strike again next year, despite being offered a pay deal. The paper says it's seen a video showing a British Medical Association employee telling junior doctors the aim was to "bank" the current deal and walk out again in April. According to the Express, the revelation has prompted Conservative MPs to accuse Labour of being too weak to stand up to "its union paymasters". A spokesman for the Department of Health said Health Secretary Wes Streeting wanted to work with junior doctors to get the NHS back on its feet.

It says vice-chancellors are under pressure to fill places because of a funding crisis, coupled with a fall in demand from international students. A-level students receive their results on Thursday.

X, formerly Twitter, has thrown the tech world's anti-terrorism organisation into turmoil, says the Times, for allegedly being the top platform for hosting Hamas videos. The paper says that though X is a founder member of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism, its continuing membership has caused disquiet since Elon Musk took the company over to turn it into what he calls a "free speech" platform.

The Guardian carries an image of the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics. Its correspondent, Angelique Chrisafis, describes it as a dream-like, science-fiction inspired, light-show spectacular. She says the ceremony featured a mysterious, golden, intergalactic traveller who lands in a futuristic barren land tasked with resurrecting the Olympic spirit...

And finally, the Daily Express, Telegraph, Mail and Times all feature a study from Nottingham Trent University suggesting horses are much cleverer than previously thought. Researchers found that when the animals were denied treats for not following a complex reward-based game they were able to adjust quickly to receive the reward. It's thought knowing how horses learn can help improve the way they are trained.
