The Mail on Sunday says it has uncovered a plot by animal rights activists to disrupt this month's Grand National. An undercover reporter is said to have filmed campaigners discussing gluing themselves together to form a human barricade across the racecourse. The paper describes how undercover footage showed the activists practising charging at security guards, and vowing to ruin the event. The newspaper says it has passed details to Merseyside Police - who in a statement say they have a robust policing plan in place for Aintree.

Rishi Sunak is facing a Conservative revolt - according to the Sunday Telegraph - over proposed laws that would allow some staff to sue their employers if a member of the public offends them at work. The rules are part of a private members' bill that the paper says was waved through during a Commons sitting when most MPs were back in their constituencies. The Telegraph says this means that a barista, for example, could take a coffee shop owner to a tribunal if they overhear a customer making an offensive remark. Senior Tories tell the paper they are worried about an explosion of litigation.

In the Sunday Express, senior aides to the prime minister warn he has six months to sort out illegal immigration - or face having to call an early general election. A source tells the Express that waiting until the latest possible date for calling an election - October next year - has too much risk, because it could follow what is described as a second summer of migration chaos.

The Sunday Times looks ahead to strikes by junior doctors in England next week, saying patients waiting for life-changing surgery could have their operations cancelled for a second time. Hospital bosses will apparently start telling patients about cancellations tomorrow, as they prepare for the four-day walkout from 11 April. In a letter to the Sunday Times, a group of ten leading hospitals warns the strike will be on a scale "significantly beyond" that of previous action; it estimates that tens of thousands of appointments, tests and operations will be postponed at its trusts alone.

An investigation by the Observer reveals that some vulnerable children are being sent to care homes, hundreds of miles from where they grew up. The paper says some children from London have been placed in homes near Perth, Glasgow and Carlisle. Care experts tell the Observer this is a pattern being repeated across the country, with young people removed from critical support networks.

The Sun on Sunday reports that a married England footballer is using a gagging order to keep his lover from speaking out, raising concern among domestic violence charities. The charity Women's Aid tells the paper that non-disclosure agreements are a tool of control, too often used to silence women.

And the Sunday Telegraph reports that cows are to be given flatulence-blockers to help the UK hit its net-zero target. The paper explains that when cows break wind or belch, they produce methane - which warms the planet 25 times more effectively than carbon dioxide. The Telegraph says ministers will force farmers to give their livestock specially-adapted feed which reduces digestive gas, possibly adding 33p a year on the cost of milk, for the average consumer.
