Each year in England and Wales, there are about 128,000 victims of rape and attempted rape. But fewer than 20% of them report the crime to the police, according to a government review. Just 1.6% of rapes result in someone being charged. Convictions have fallen to a record low in recent years. In the review's foreword, ministers admit they are "deeply ashamed" by the trends. Justice Secretary Robert Buckland tells us: "Sorry. It's not good enough." The report, he says, reveals "at all stages of the criminal justice process frankly a failure to deal with complaints made by many thousands of victims".
The government says it's now considering allowing victims to pre-record their evidence to spare them the trauma of a courtroom trial. Its review also outlined plans to focus more on the suspect's behaviour - not that of the accuser - and make sure phones taken away for evidence-gathering are returned within a day. But Amelia Handy, of Rape Crisis England and Wales, says: "It's hard to identify any big commitments that will radically and swiftly improve the experience of the justice system for victims and survivors." Labour says the government has "failed victims of rape on every front" and its recommendations do not go far enough.

Eighteen months ago, the Conservatives won the Buckinghamshire seat of Chesham and Amersham by more than 16,000 votes in their landslide general election win. But in a remarkable turnaround, Liberal Democrat candidate Sarah Green has taken the seat by 8,028 votes in a by-election following the death of Tory MP Dame Cheryl Gillan. The constituency had elected Conservatives since its creation in 1974 and Lib Dem leader Ed Davey says if his party "can beat the Tories here, we can beat them anywhere". A Tory source says: "By-elections are always difficult for the governing party, particularly 11 years into government."

Even if you've no interest in football, Scotland's trip to Wembley to take on England in a Euro 2020 group tie carries the intrigue of old rivals going head-to-head. So here's how you can catch the game. It's 25 years since the sides last faced off in the finals of a major tournament. In the spirit of nostalgia (or education, if you're young enough), Newsbeat takes a trip down memory lane to a time of Cool Britannia, Spice Girls and mad cow disease. And if you're simply using football as an excuse to hook up with mates, don't forget the Covid rules on meeting in groups.

The build-up to this evening's Euro 2020 tie between England and Scotland features on many front pages. "Beers but no cheers," says the Metro, reporting Covid rules mean pub landlords could be fined £1,000 if football fans boo, sing or cheer. The Sun says Wally, the Walrus that visited south Wales and Cornwall earlier in the year, is "back for the big game", having swum to the Isles of Scilly. Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph features a photograph of Scotland supporters boarding a train at Glasgow, under the headline: "We're the Tartan Army and we're (not) going to Wembley." The majority of an estimated 20,000 travelling do not have tickets, the paper says. Read the review.
