‘Act fast on energy hikes’ and Giggs trial ends

The Guardian leads with a stark warning from several health experts who say that children may die if families turn off their heating this winter because of soaring energy bills.

The Times reports on the final Tory hustings on Wednesday, saying that Liz Truss refused to lay out her plans to help families cope.

The paper quotes Germany’s economy minister Robert Habeck, who calls the development “alarming”.

She has recently suffered from mobility issues, and it is understood the decision was made to prevent any last minute rearrangements. The Daily Mail says it is an “historic first”.

The paper discovered that around 11,500 offenders were living in the community, triple the number ten years ago. The government says it is focusing on ensuring those who are eligible are deported.

A review has found that 44% of children born at the start of the century did not grow up in a two-parent household, compared with 21% of those born in 1970.

The findings come from England’s children’s commissioner, Rachel de Souza, who’s told the Telegraph that governments have been too “squeamish” about standing up for families.

And small talk leaves a big impression, according to a study in the Guardian. Researchers at the University of Warwick found that just four minutes of chit chat helps people to learn about each other’s personalities.
