With football fans furious at the prospect of a European Super League, the prime minister is chairing a meeting of the sport's senior officials and supporters' representatives to discuss what should happen to the six English clubs planning to join. Writing in the Sun, the prime minister borrows from refereeing parlance to pledge: "I'm going to do everything I can to give this ludicrous plan a straight red." Under the plan, the 12 founding clubs from England, Spain and Italy would be permanent members, free from the threat of relegation.
Labour's Alison McGovern urged the UK's competitions watchdog to investigate, describing the plan as "nothing short of an attempt to stitch up competition for a few elite clubs". Meanwhile, the 14 English top-flight clubs not invited to join Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the venture will discuss their response later. Protests yesterday included Leeds United fans burning a replica shirt of opponents Liverpool before their match last night. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said it was unfair to his players, who were not involved in the decision, but that he wanted to stay in post to "sort it", admitting: "I don't like this [Super League] either."

Prime Minister Boris Johnson will this week announce a commitment to cut carbon emissions by 78% by 2035 - almost 15 years earlier than planned - and extend climate law to cover international aviation and shipping. Environmentalists gave it a cautious welcome, with Leo Murray from climate change charity Possible calling it "fantastic - very big news" but warning the UK is "failing" on previous commitments. Labour argues ministers "can't be trusted to match rhetoric with reality". Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin says meeting the target would not just mean more electric cars, low-carbon heating and renewable electricity but - for many - cutting back on meat, less driving and more expensive flights.

Cities across the US are braced for protests after the jury in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis policeman accused of killing George Floyd last year, retired to consider its verdict. While the prosecution told jurors Mr Chauvin had murdered Mr Floyd, the defence argued their client had correctly followed police training. The court is being protected by barbed wire, high barriers and armed soldiers from the National Guard. The footage of Mr Chauvin, who is white, restraining Mr Floyd, a black man, on the floor as he shouted "I can't breathe" spurred months of global protests in 2020.

The press is united in reflecting the outrage directed towards the six English football clubs who have committed to joining a proposed European Super League. In reporting the Duke of Cambridge's opposition, the Daily Mail calls it a "League of Greed", while the Metro says it got a "red card from Wills". Red tops allude to the disregard shown to the opinions of fans, with the Sun calling it "The Great Game Robbery" and the Daily Star making its front page a cut-out window poster reading: "Can we have our football back please, mister?"

Fancy a tattoo with a difference? Kayla Newell already uses inks that glow under ultraviolet light but hopes technology will soon allow her to create body art containing electrical circuits. "Something that would have sparkle, or a light source within it, but then to be able to turn it on or off or change the colour - that would be awesome," she says.
