28 minutes ago The i Paper leads with King Charles III's comments on slavery during his address at the Commonwealth leaders summit in Antigua and Barbuda. "King says slavery was 'monstrous'," reads the paper's headline, although he "stops short of apologising". Instead, it writes the King praised the "Royal Navy's role in ending the transatlantic slave trade" at the meeting.
King Charles says "Britain had leading role in ending the slave trade", is the Daily Mail's summary of the Monarch's speech - which it judges was "punchier-than-expected". The Times continues "slavery was evil but we helped end it", leading with King Charles' expressing his "most profound sorrow" over the transatlantic slave trade. It adds he said "the shameful chapter of history" filled his "heart with horror".
It embeds a photo of Queen Camilla and the prime minister's wife Marie-France van Heel visiting a school in Antigua, both of whom are wearing different shades of blue. Prime Minister Andy Burnham's "plan to say sorry for slave trade will cost us", argues the Daily Express, quoting critics who believe the prime minister's £40m aid offer is a "lever to wedge open the door to ask for cash", which it says could lead to "reparations by stealth". Burnham has ruled out financial reparations.
The Daily Star headlines on a "well-known" celebrity who has "lost his bid to stop sex abuse allegations from being reported". The High Court "refused" the man's injunction, according to the paper. "Celebrity court battle" continues the Daily Mirror, as the High Court judge ruled "allegations from large number of women can be reported".
The paper explains the man, who remains anonymous, faces claims that "he tried engage in 'exploitative sexual activities'". The Sun redacts the name of the alleged "sex pest" on its front page using thick red marker graphic, writing that despite the gag order "defeat in the High Court" the paper "still can't name him" because of a "pending possible appeal". The Guardian says Andy Burnham plans to reveal an "EU youth visa pact and trade deals worth billions", as he prepares to meet European leaders at a summit in Brussels on 20 November.
Discussions will cover "everything from youth visas to pet passports" as the prime minister sketches out "his vision of a much closer relationship" with the European Union. In a separate piece, the paper covers the "flights hit by' malicious hoax' bomb threats," writing that "seven passenger flights across Europe were searched or diverted" as a result. The Daily Telegraph tops with the paper's campaign to scrap what it terms a "chilling trans law", suggesting that the Draft Conversation Practices Bill "risks criminalising parents who question their children are trans".
"Even our spooks are spooked" splashes the Metro, quoting Britain's "top cyber-crime fighter" Richard Horne, head of the National Cyber Security Centre, responding to the "fridge cyber attackers". It quotes Horne saying Britain has "done tech on the cheap" for decades, carrying his warnings that "hostile states such as Russia and China will 'routinely use AI' for crime by 2028". Chipmaker Nvidia is demanding cut in clients' China dealings to protect America's "AI lead," the Financial Times reports.
Citing anonymous sources "with knowledge of the matter", the paper says the instructions to the data centre partners "have been communicated verbally and conveyed by Nvidia's sales teams rather than spelt out in documents". Elsewhere in the US, the papers says President Donald "Trump awaits voters' verdict" in the midterm elections, writing that Republicans could risk "defeats in both chambers of Congress".
