The Sunday Times - Breast cancer surgeon: 650 deaths under the spotlight

Summary of the front page

The lead image on the Sunday Times also shows a protester being carried away by police at the Grand National, while its main story focuses on news that the deaths of 650 patients of a surgeon who conducted “hundreds of unnecessary and inappropriate operations” are being investigated. The paper’s cartoonist Nick Newman marries two of the main stories of the day – the Grand National and the NHS strikes – showing a horse asking for a “35% increase in sugarlumps”.

The warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrest is a stain on Israel – but he remains shameless

Friday’s news briefing – ICC issues arrest warrant for Netanyahu, UK weather warnings as cold snap bites, John Prescott tributes 

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has backed the ICC’s issuing of arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant. The ICC says both men – alongside a Hamas leader who was killed in July – bore “criminal responsibility” for crimes during the war between Israel and Hamas. The court accuses Israel of using starvation as a war tactic and for intentionally targeting civilians.

Europe and the US have been split in their response to the warrant. European countries including Britain have said they respect the ICC decisions and note Netanyahu will be arrested if he steps foot into their countries. The Canadian prime minister also confirmed he will follow the ruling of the ICC. The US has backed Israel and called the warrant ‘outrageous.’

Tributes are continuing to pour in for ex-deputy prime minister John Prescott, who died aged 86.

Storm Bert dominates the UK news as the cold snap continues to bite the UK with snowy conditions coming and weather warnings issued for the weekend.
