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.

Tuesday’s front pages are dominated by two main stories: Donald Trump’s inauguration and the guilty plea entered by Axel Rudakubana on the first day of his trial for the Southport attacks. The 18-year-old admitted to killing three young children – aged six, seven and nine – at a dance class in Southport in July.

Many papers lead with Trump’s inauguration and what America’s next four years under his leadership could look like. Some papers offer opinions on how the UK should approach the new leadership in the United States.
