Tuesday's front page of the i paper
A new Alzheimer’s drug called donanemab could be available on the NHS by 2025, the i reports, hailing it as a “breakthrough”. Researchers have found that treatment appears to slow the pace of the disease by a third, but there are some potential side effects – including brain swelling, the paper notes. There is also coverage of the wildfires currently affecting parts of Greece.
Tuesday's front page of the Times
The Times describes the drug as a “new era for Alzheimer’s”, with the charity Alzheimer’s Research UK telling the paper this could be the point at which the disease becomes “treatable”. There is also a report about the BBC facing a formal review into the future of the licence fee. A government source is reported to have said there is a “growing unwillingness to pay”.
Tuesday's front page of the Telegraph
“A wonder drug” is how the Telegraph describes donanemab, with the paper reporting that some patients were able to perform daily tasks for longer after using it – such as shopping and housekeeping. But the lead story on the front page is an interview with Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, who spoke ahead of the release of the UK government’s Defence Command Paper. Its “overwhelming focus” is lessons learnt from the war in Ukraine, the report adds.
Tuesday's front page of the FT
The Financial Times has a spot for the Alzheimer’s drug too, focusing on the trial results released by US pharmaceutical group Eli Lilly. The company has submitted donanemab for approval by the US Food and Drug Administration and expects a decision this year, according to the paper. In other news, under a headline reading “Losing pace”, there is a report about China’s economy growing by “just 0.8%” – the business paper predicts this could “pile pressure on global growth”.
Tuesday's front page of the Express
A couple of Tuesday’s front pages headline on scientists calling the new Alzheimer’s drug a “turning point” in the fight against the disease. Trial results reveal that it gave some people “at least a year longer” without symptoms progressing, the Daily Express reports. Atop the paper sits a dramatic image of trees burning in Greek wildfires – and news that some holiday resorts have been evacuated.
Tuesday's front page of the Mail
As well as covering the donanemab story, the Daily Mail has a front page slot for the Kevin Spacey sexual assault trial currently taking place in London. It comes after Sir Elton John gave evidence as a defence witness on Monday. The paper reports that there were “gasps from jurors” when the singer appeared via video link from Monaco – and also notes that they are “old friends”.
Tuesday's front page of the Mirror
The Daily Mirror leads with something completely different, telling its readers about what it calls a “Tory trains scandal” – referring to recently announced plans to close 974 ticket offices. Train companies will be taken to court unless they immediately halt the plans, Labour mayors including Manchester’s Andy Burnham warn in the paper. They also accuse the government of having a “complete disregard” for passengers.
Tuesday's front page of the Star
The front page of the Daily Star warns of hackers vowing to “break into official computers” and reveal the world’s “UFO secrets”. The threat comes from what the paper refers to as the “nerdy group Anonymous”, the hacker collective.

Several of Tuesday’s papers lead on the promising trial results for the Alzheimer’s drug donanemab.

The Times says the treatment can offer some people at least a year of extra time without their disease progressing. Experts tell the Financial Times it is a watershed moment, but equally just the start. The Daily Mail cites charity estimates saying more than 700,000 people could benefit, with the first patients being treated within 18 months.

But the i points out that donanemab is not risk-free, after two people died during the trial from brain swelling – a common side effect which resolved in most cases.

The Daily Mirror reports that five Labour mayors are warning rail companies they will take legal action unless plans to shut nearly 1,000 ticket offices in England are scrapped. The mayors say a 21-day consultation is “totally inadequate” and the plan punishes passengers, particularly those who are elderly and disabled. Writing in the Mirror, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham says the simple answer to concerns about the cost of railways is public ownership. The Rail Delivery Group tells the paper that ticket office staff will be moved to station concourses, to help passengers there.

The Daily Telegraph highlights comments by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace – ahead of the publication of plans to modernise the UK’s Armed Forces, in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. He insists the UK must pay for more tanks – rather than troops – because budget constraints mean any extra soldiers would have to be armed “with pitchforks”. Mr Wallace defends the reduction in full-time troop numbers during his period as defence secretary, saying his legacy is a modernised Armed Forces. 

A formal review of how the BBC is funded will be launched in the autumn, according to the Times. The paper says there is concern in government that the current model is unsustainable, after the BBC’s annual report revealed that the number of people buying a TV licence fell by 500,000 over the past financial year. The review will reportedly consider alternatives, including a levy on broadband connections and a subscription model where premium content is paid for, but the bulk of output is free. 

There is coverage of the decision by the Home Office to relax visa rules for workers in the construction and fishing industries. Building companies tell the Mail it is vital that sectors can fill vacancies, but the paper adds there is fury among Conservative backbenchers who believe the domestic workforce should be prioritised. The Sun’s leader column says it is a mad, self-inflicted doom loop – because importing foreign labour to build homes will put further pressure on the housing stock, sending prices into orbit. 

The Telegraph reports that three cathedrals – Canterbury, Worcester and Chichester – are going to welcome dogs for the first time, as part of a trial. The paper says it is the latest attempt by the Church of England to boost flagging congregation numbers. It is hoped the dogs will create a more inclusive environment, and act as an “ice-breaker”. But there are some precautions, with the policy for Worcester Cathedral reportedly stating that barking during services could result in disciplinary action.
