A new heatwave is forecast to affect parts of the UK this week, with temperatures potentially reaching 34C. The UK Health Security Agency has issued yellow heat health alerts across multiple regions. National Rail anticipates travel disruptions, cautioning that heat may affect overhead lines and train integrity.

Two stories dominate Thursday’s front pages: A report into the failings in the care of the Nottingham killer and the reaction to Donald Trump’s plans for the US to take over Gaza and to resettle Palestinians in nearby countries.

The front pages also leave room to report on Kemi Badenoch’s plans with migrants if the Conservative Party wins the next election. The papers report Badenoch’s move is an attempt to curb the rise of the Reform party.

The back pages lead on Newcastle’s 2-0 win over Arsenal last night to send them to the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
