Covid-19
The UK headlines this Monday morning all lead with the 20th anniversary of the July 7 2005, terror attacks across London. The attacks killed 52 people and injured more than 700. The headlines ask whether Britain is really any safer now than 20 years ago, and some look at what life in the UK is like for British Muslims. Many publications speak to the survivors and the relatives of the victims.
The headlines roll out as the tributes roll in, with the prime minister and King Charles leading the tributes.
Elsewhere, a new COVID-19 variant is spreading across the UK, and there are fears of a new NHS doctors’ strike amid calls for a pay rise.
In international news, the UK media continues its coverage of the flash flooding in Texas, which has killed at least 81 people, including children. There’s ongoing coverage of the Trump-Musk spat as the world’s wealthiest man launches his own political party in the USA to take on the Democrats and Republicans.
Israel continues to attack Gaza, with at least 38 killed on Sunday. It comes amid ceasefire talks and as Israel’s Netanyahu prepares to head to the USA for a meeting with Donald Trump.
A new Covid-19 variant known as Stratus (XFG and XFG.3) is rapidly spreading in the UK. The UK Health Security Agency reports these subvariants account for around 30% of cases in England, rising sharply in recent weeks.
