UK MORNING BRIEFING

Tourists are closely approaching Highland cows at Butser Hill in Hampshire despite safety warnings issued this morning. Emergency services responded to incidents involving visitors stuck on challenging terrain as crowds continue to flock to the site.

Most of Wednesday’s front pages lead with tributes to the three young children who were stabbed to death in Monday’s attack in Southport. The three kids – aged 6, 7 and nine – names and pictures have been released.

Elsewhere, several papers cover the chancellor’s comments about coming tax rises on their front pages.

Olympic coverage bleeds onto the front page – whilst the back pages are dominated by Team GB.

Most of Tuesday’s front pages lead on the knife attack on children at a holiday club in Southport. Two children have died and nine injured after a knifeman entered a dance class and started the attack. A 17-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murder. It’s not yet known what the motive is but it’s not believed to be terror-related. 

Chancellor Reeves’s cuts and tax plans to plug the £20bn black hole in the public finances also make many of the newspapers.

Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards is pictured on most of the front pages after it was announced he has been arrested for making indecent images of children. 

There is also plenty of Olympics coverage as Team GB had a spectacular Monday – bagging their first gold medals.
