Knifepoint robberies have decreased by 20% in hotspot areas across the UK, including London, compared to June 2024, according to Home Office data. This decline coincides with National Knife Crime Awareness week and the bi-annual Operation Sceptre, which has led to 243 arrests and the seizure of 159 knives this year.

Sunday’s front pages are made up of a variety of domestic and international news. Lucy Letby and AI fears are amongst the most popular stories on the front pages, as are the latest developments with Prince Andrew and his connection to an alleged spy – as well as new revelations about his friendship with Jeffery Epstein.

On the international front, several papers lead with images of Israeli hostages being freed as well as the plane crash in the United States.

The front pages also leave room to report on Ireland v England in last night’s Six Nations, coverage which is continued on the back pages. But the back pages are mostly dominated by football news, with reports Marcus Rashford is set to go on loan to Aston Villa.
