Friday’s front pages have a variety of different stories as their leads. Two domestic stories feature across several of the papers. According to several papers, Scotland’s first minister Humza Yousaf is in peril as the Scottish Greens say they will back a no-confidence motion against him. The world’s first “jab to stop skin cancer” is another popular story on the front pages, with the personalised vaccine being tested on UK patients. 

Elsewhere, various celebrity stories and football make the front pages. 

The UK back pages all lead on Manchester City’s 4-0 win over Brighton to move them within a point of the top spot – and with a game to spare.

The first trial of the world’s first “personalised” mRNA vaccine against the deadliest form of skin cancer – melanoma – is now underway in the UK. Steve Young, 52, from Stevenage, Hertz, who had a melanoma growth cut out of his scalp last August, is one of the first patients to try the shot.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe must escape from its self-imposed naivety or face the risk of dying. In a speech on the EU, he said Europe must react fast to survive in a changing world. “We need to be lucid, and recognise that our Europe is mortal. It can die. It all depends on the choices we make, and those choices need to be made now,” he said.

PM Ariel Henry has resigned as a new country has been sworn in to lead Haiti which has been recently gripped by deadly violence. The outbreak of violence forced officials to move the ceremony from the National Palace to the outgoing prime minister’s office.
