With UK negotiators back in Brussels to resume Brexit talks, it appears they have some way to go to convince EU leaders that Boris Johnson's latest plan can work. European Council President Donald Tusk says the EU is "open but not convinced", while Irish PM Leo Varadkar says Mr Johnson's attempts to rework arrangements at the border with Northern Ireland "fall short in a number of aspects". Mr Johnson told MPs on Thursday his proposals were a "genuine attempt to bridge the chasm".

BBC Europe editor Katya Adler says EU leaders remain uncertain whether Mr Johnson is open for deeper negotiations or focusing his attention on a possible election campaign but adds they won't want to be seen to be "slamming the door" in the UK's face. Much of Europe's media is taking a less diplomatic stance, as BBC Monitoring reports.

Facebook sees the ability to keep online conversations private as a fundamental right. But the UK government says a side-effect of the social media giant's plans to encrypt messages on all its platforms - which include WhatsApp and Instagram - will be to hamper attempts to speed up investigations into terrorists and child sexual abuse. In an open letter, Home Secretary Priti Patel says it threatens "lives and the safety of our children" by frustrating a cross-border agreement allowing British law enforcement agencies to demand US tech firms hand over data relating to serious criminals. Facebook - keen to focus on privacy after scandals over the misuse of personal data - says it is "consulting closely with child safety experts, governments and technology companies" about how best to keep people safe.

Another day, another new British world athletics champion. Katarina Johnson-Thompson says it's been "such a long road" to the top, having endured disappointment on the global stage more than once. But personal bests in the hurdles, shot put and javelin helped "KJT" to gold in Doha, claiming a national record in the process. "I just want more," she declared. BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury reviews her roller-coaster journey and colleague Mike Henson examines the sacrifices that made the difference, from missing parties with schoolmates - including acting star Jodie Comer - to moving to the south of France.

Europe's reaction to Boris Johnson's Brexit plan leads many papers, with the i suggesting the prime minister is ready to compromise after EU leaders said they were unconvinced by the plan. Other front pages feature the court ruling against women claiming millions of pounds over the raising of the state pension age, concerns about UK wildlife, and follow-up reports on the police investigation into false claims about a VIP sex abuse ring.
