‘Search for missing in air pockets’ – Paper Talk 

By

Wednesday’s front pages reflect the latest in the luxury yacht sinking off the coast of Sicily as more details have emerged about those missing. Many of the papers report on rescue crews attempting to access the sunken ship with some speculating if anyone could still be alive.

Elsewhere, King Charles is pictured on most of the front splashes as he visited with victims of the Southport victims. The king is seen on the front viewing flower tributes to the three little girls who were killed.

Domestic politics and showbiz stories are sprinkled across the front pages, though there is little unity in their political and celebrity front page reports.

As more details pour out regarding the luxury boat sinking off the coast of Sicily, the story has started to dominate the headlines around the world. In the UK, Tuesday’s front pages are dominated by yesterday’s news that the British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter are among the six people still missing.

There’s not much coverage of the story on the international front pages, but online – since the news of other prominent figures from banking and tech from around the world are among the missing – the story is becoming more international.

Away from the yacht sinking, a few UK papers feature showbiz and royal stories on the sidebar. A few of the papers lead on other domestic topics – mostly politics.

Last night’s Premier League draw between Leicester City and Spurs dominates the back pages.

There’s coverage of potential pay rises for GPs following the government paying out to end rail strikes. A-level results, British tanks in Ukraine and Taylor Swift in London are splashed on the front. 

Prince Harry and Meghan are pictured on several front pages as they visit Colombia. Other celebrity news also features, including news that five people have been arrested in connection with the death of actor Matthew Perry. 

The back pages look ahead to the return of the Premier League as the new season is just around the corner.
