Robbie Williams attends Port Vale match against Portsmouth in League One

Some of Wednesday's front pages reflect on the DUP's agreement on a new deal on post-Brexit trading rules, after boycotting Stormont over the issue for nearly two years.

Sinn Féin says it's looking forward to leading the Northern Irish government in Stormont for the first time, the Financial Times reports.

The Daily Telegraph says Britain is poised to send an aircraft carrier to the Red Sea to counter drone and missile attacks by the Houthis. Armed Forces Minister James Heappey says the Royal Navy may step in to "plug a gap" when the USS Dwight D Eisenhower returns to the US. One of the UK's two aircraft carriers, HMS Prince of Wales, would undertake its first combat operation if deployed.

"Little room for big tax cuts", is the message to Conservatives from Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, in the Times. The paper reports Mr Hunt told a cabinet meeting it is because of "major structural weaknesses" in the economy - including relatively low levels of productivity.

Robbie Williams is preparing a shock bid to buy his beloved Port Vale, the Sun reports. The tabloid claims the 49-year-old Take That star has been backed by a consortium to take over the League One side - with a potential lucrative TV spin-off.

The i newspaper says a speech by the foreign secretary, in which he hinted that the UK might recognise a Palestinian state, was not approved by Downing Street in advance. Lord Cameron "sparked a backlash" among some Conservative MPs when he told a reception "we should be starting to set out what a Palestinian state would look like", the paper says.

In other news, Elon Musk's Neuralink makes headlines with the implant of a wireless brain chip in a human for the first time.

The same story makes the Daily Star, which reports on the tech billionaire claiming there is now a person walking around with a computer chip in their brain thanks to his Neuralink company. It reports the operation was done on Sunday and the "test subject was now recovering well".

Finally, the Daily Mail reports former star reporter Martin Bashir claimed criticism of his 1995 Panorama interview with the late Princess Diana was down to racism. The BBC has released around 3,000 emails relating to the interview after a Freedom of Information request, and has said any suggestion that it had acted in bad faith was "simply wrong".
