Newspaper headlines: 'Terror suspect escapes' and 'hottest season'

Daniel Khalife

The terrorism suspect, Daniel Khalife, is on most front pages, after his escape from Wandsworth jail. Under the headline "Total Farce" the Sun says he made a mockery of prison security by clinging on to the underside of a van. The former commander of the Metropolitan Police, John O'Connor, tells the paper the escape makes the prison service look like a laughing stock.

According to the Daily Mail, the suspect is suspected of spying for Iran. The Daily Telegraph says police don't believe he is driven by any specific ideology. A former prison governor tells the Times that a suspected terrorist should have been held at the high-security Belmarsh jail, rather than at Wandsworth.

Writing in the Daily Express, Rishi Sunak says he will use the G20 summit in India, over the weekend, to discuss deeper trade links with presidents and prime ministers - but also to meet business leaders. He says Britain is seeing a surge of investment in cutting edge technologies, including electric vehicles and A.I.

The Sun says the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has challenged the Prime Minister in front of the whole Cabinet over his plans to hand thousands more student and business visas to Indian citizens in order to secure a trade deal with the country. The paper says securing the agreement is a huge personal project for Mr Sunak and would demonstrate the benefits of leaving the EU - but Tory MPs are furious at the idea of opening the door to even more migration.

Analysis by the i newspaper has concluded that almost 100,000 pupils across England have faced disruption because weak concrete prone to collapse has been discovered in their school. The paper says nearly 12,000 students attend schools which have had to remain shut at the start of the academic year, or have switched to fully remote learning.

The Daily Mirror says nine schools affected by RAAC were turned down for rebuilding funding last year. In an editorial the paper says images of school roofs held up by temporary supports will come to define - what it describes as -"the Conservatives' 13 years of failure".

According to the Telegraph, Rishi Sunak is likely to drop plans to ban children from changing gender at schools. The paper says the prime minister has been told that new legislation is needed - but he fears that introducing such a Bill in the Commons would expose differences within his party in the run-up to the next general election.

The Guardian reports that an undercover police officer has used his fake identity to deceive a woman into a 19-year relationship, during which they had a child together. She discovered the truth in 2020 after they got engaged. The paper says it is not known why the officer cultivated the relationship as the woman involved wasn't believed to have been the target of any surveillance operation. Avon and Somerset Police has issued an apology.

And the Times highlights a warning that modern home devices are invading people's privacy by collecting collect more data about their users than is needed. The consumer group, Which?, says smart speakers, doorbells, security cameras, TVs and hi-tech washing machines are "spies in the home" because they are hoarding so much unnecessary personal information.
