Newspaper headlines: 'Womb transplant' and Letby victims 'fobbed off'

The Times leads on a claim that a single Chinese spy is using fake profiles on the business networking site, LinkedIn, to try to lure thousands of British officials into handing over state secrets, in return for money or lucrative business deals. He is said to have created a string of false identities to target people who have access to classified information or commercially sensitive technology. According to the paper, his main alias is Robin Zhang and he is said to have operated almost entirely from an office in Beijing. Western security services believe he is the most prolific spy for a hostile state working against British interests in a generation.

The Lucy Letby case continues to make headlines. The Guardian says that calls for an inquiry to be given legal powers to compel witnesses to attend have intensified. It reports that one bereaved family has accused the hospital of a "total fob off" when they pleaded for answers about what had happened to their twin sons. The parents' solicitor tells the paper it is "shameful" that senior management did not respond properly to their concerns. The Daily Mirror has spoken to a family who, more than thirty years ago, were victims of Beverley Allitt, who killed four children while a nurse in Lincolnshire. They ask, "How could it happen again?"

The Ulez expansion to all London boroughs comes into force on Tuesday

The Daily Telegraph reports that the prime minister has been blocked by lawyers from overruling the expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez). It says that cabinet ministers have considered using powers to reject the mayor's transport strategy on the grounds that it is "inconsistent with national policies". However the paper points out that the government's own legal advice says such a move is likely to be challenged, and would probably fail, in the courts.

The UK's first womb transplant makes several front pages, including the Daily Mail. It calls the surgery "ground-breaking" and a "huge breakthrough" for thousands of women who might otherwise be unable to give birth. The i's report calls the donation, from a woman to her sister, a "fertility landmark" adding the "pioneering procedure" has been hailed a "massive success" by medics.

The Daily Express leads on an article in the paper by the Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch who talks up the prospect of a "landmark" trade deal with India. She insists what she calls the Brexit "voices of doom" have been proved decisively wrong and she tells the Express that "global Britain is here and it's thriving".

The Guardian and the Times report on the case of the "phantom sign snatcher" who has struck again in Snowdonia. Several way-marker posts have disappeared from a popular hiking trail through the major mountain ranges of north Wales. Two markers went missing earlier in the summer, but now the replacement signs and two others have also disappeared. Both papers say the motive for the thefts remain a mystery.

And the Daily Star warns that the warm and wet weather will send what it calls "hordes of pesky bugs swarming our way". It predicts an invasion of flies and what it calls a "record-busting plague of 200 billion crane flies", also known as daddy longlegs. As the paper says, "it should create quite a buzz".
