Newspaper headlines: Prince Andrew ‘snubs FBI’ and Holocaust remembered
The Duke of York features on most of Tuesday’s front pages after a US prosecutor claimed he had provided “zero cooperation” into the inquiry into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – the duke’s former friend. The paper calls it a “snub”.
“Zero help from duke” is the headline on the front page of the Metro, which also leads on the Prince Andrew story. Meanwhile, the paper is one of many to feature a poignant image of a Holocaust survivor dabbing away tears on International Holocaust Memorial Day.
The Daily Mail’s strapline says US Attorney Geoffrey Berman’s comments have caused a “sensation”. The lead story sits next to a picture of the Duchess of Cambridge at a Holocaust memorial event in London. “A royal who does know how to behave,” the paper says.
The i says the attorney has called the “Duke of York’s bluff” in making the comments to reporters. Elsewhere, the paper reports that UK citizens feel “abandoned” in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the coronavirus virus is thought to have originated.
A mocked-up missing person poster is on the front of the Sun. Above a picture of Andrew, it asks “have you seen this prince?”
The Daily Telegraph says a New York judge is “considering whether to unseal a tranche of documents containing new allegations against Epstein” in which, the paper says, “the duke is thought to be named”. Meanwhile, the paper reports that Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to “defy” US President Donald Trump and allow Chinese firm Huawei to build part of Britain’s 5G network.
The Guardian understands there will be “no attempt to force Andrew to testify”. The paper’s front page also carries an interview with BBC presenter Gary Lineker who has told the paper he believes the TV licence fee should be voluntary.
The Times’s splash focuses on post-Brexit trade talks. A leaked diplomatic document, seen by the paper, suggests the EU will insist judges in the European Court of Justice are able to enforce the terms of any deal. Meanwhile, the paper calls the decision by US investigators to name Prince Andrew an “unusual step” that has “added to the sense of crisis around the royal family”.
The FT leads on a “Brexit clash” over “fish and finance”. Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has warned that the UK “may have to make concessions” to the EU over access to its waters in order to “get concessions” for the UK’s financial services sector, the paper reports.
A leaked EU document “shows the bloc could demand continued access” to UK waters, reports the Daily Express. But, the paper says, Mr Johnson will “take back control of UK waters” by refusing to “give up fishing rights”.
And finally, the Daily Star reports that a business leader has called on firms to ban workers from talking about football or cricket at work “because it’s sexist”.
