Newspaper headlines: 'Terror plot' arrests, and Queen's Cenotaph absence

Several of the papers focus on the car explosion outside Liverpool Women's Hospital.

The Times says security sources have confirmed that detectives are examining whether there was any significance to the timing of the incident just before 11:00 GMT yesterday, and its proximity to Liverpool Cathedral around a mile away, which was hosting one of the country's largest Remembrance Sunday services.

According to the Daily Telegraph, there are unconfirmed reports that a cabbie diverted his taxi to the hospital after becoming suspicious about a passenger.

The Daily Express, the Daily Mirror and the Sun all describe the driver as a hero for his actions.

The Daily Mail says witnesses described hearing a huge bang as the car exploded into a fireball after pulling up outside the hospital.

Many of the front pages carry a photo of smoke and flames billowing from the vehicle. "Inferno" is the caption in the Mirror.

According to the Times, the Covid jab booster programme is to be extended to the under-50s.

It is to try to increase the country's immunity to coronavirus over the winter and limit the risk of another wave.

The paper says the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation is expected to give its approval today - although the precise details of the age groups to be included have yet to be confirmed.

The Guardian has seen what it describes as a "bombshell report", which suggests people are dying in the back of ambulances in England, and up to 160,000 more a year are coming to harm, because they are stuck outside hospitals unable to be offloaded to A&E.

It says the data, from the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, is based on official NHS figures.

A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care told the paper ambulance trusts had been given an extra £55m to help boost staff numbers this winter.

The i claims that ministers are to scrap promises for a new high-speed rail link between Leeds and Manchester, and focus on upgrading existing lines instead.

It has learned the Birmingham to Leeds extension of High Speed Two will also be abandoned in plans to be announced this week.

The paper says the move will be a "blow" for "levelling up" - which is likely to "enrage northern leaders".

The Daily Telegraph believes the government will also face a backlash from red wall Tory MPs.

A government source has told the Times there is a view that the benefits of the eastern leg of HS2 would take too long to transpire.

The Department for Transport told the i it did not comment on speculation.

The Financial Times reports that ministers will this week announce a new £1tn a year export target for the UK by 2030.

But the paper points out that David Cameron pledged in 2012 to hit the same target in 2020 - but overseas sales only hit £689bn before the pandemic hit.

And "Fresh air, anyone?" asks the Guardian, as it reports that the Lake District National Park is considering banning tourist cars in its most popular valleys next summer.

The Times has also picked up the story, saying the region has struggled with traffic because of the rise in staycation breaks.

The Daily Telegraph suggests it could be the "end of the road" for cars in the Lakes.
