| | Scientists produce protein 'from thin air' |
| |
| |
| | | Finnish scientists have developed a form of protein from soil bacteria fed on hydrogen split from water by electricity. They say it could be added to foods in a similar way to palm oil and that it could compete with soya on price within a few years.

The Times says Mr Johnson is ready to cull projects started by predecessors Theresa May and David Cameron. And the Sun claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking to spend a "significant portion of this year" in Canada. Read our newspaper review in full. | | |
