The Papers: 'Rishi Two Snacks' and Russians 'hacked minister'

Image caption "What obesity crisis?" cries Metro, as it reports that some people are using the government's Eat Out To Help Out discounts - which launched on Monday - to order a double portion. The paper uses the opportunity to give Chancellor Rishi Sunak a new nickname: "Rishi Two Snacks". Image caption The Daily Mail also features the discount meal offer, launching an "urgent cry to Britain" to return to empty offices, as it observes that business districts remain deserted while restaurants are bustling. "We've had our lunch, now let's get back to work!" its headline pleads. Image caption Scientists are warning that a second wave of coronavirus infections could be twice as big as the first because of failings in the test and trace system, the Daily Mirror reports. It says the situation is a "timebomb" with only 50% of contacts reached and a new spike likely in December without improvement. Image caption But the i newspaper reports on a measure scientists want to relax: government advisers say people who have recently recovered from the virus could be exempted from self-isolation and household quarantine rules. The paper says this group of people have antibodies that are likely to reduce the risk of reinfection. Image caption The Daily Telegraph has a fun take on the Eat Out To Help Out scheme with a picture of a food-laden waitress under the headline "Would you like economic stimulus with that, sir?". However, it leads on reports that leaked documents about trade negotiations with the US - used by Labour during the 2019 election - were stolen from the email account of the then International Trade Secretary Liam Fox. The paper says reports of the hack, blamed on Russia, prompted a review of government security on Monday night. Image caption The hacked email account was the minister's personal one, the Guardian says, prompting Labour to ask why it was being used for government business. Mr Fox's spokesman tells the paper the government has not confirmed which account was hacked. The front page also features a tribute to John Hume - Northern Irish Nobel peace prize winner, "a titan and a visionary" - who died at 83. Image caption An image of Mr Hume, an Irish nationalist leader, being led away by a British soldier during a 1971 civil rights demonstration appears on the Financial Times front page. The paper's main story says HSBC's profits have fallen 96% amid the pandemic and US-China tensions. Image caption "Painkillers do more harm than good," claims the headline in the Daily Express, reporting on new advice that millions of people with chronic pain should not be prescribed aspirin, paracetamol or opioids. It says there is no evidence the medication works for people whose pain is not explained by another diagnosis or underlying condition. Image caption The Times says the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence warned the medications can cause addiction in patients with chronic pain and advised GPs to prescribe alternatives, such as acupuncture or exercise. Image caption And the Daily Star features a mischievous offer: a "free honour for every reader's brother". It is prompted by news that the prime minister - pictured by the paper as a clown and dubbed "Bozo" - has promised to cut the numbers in the House of Lords, days after making his own brother a peer.

The alleged Russian hacking of the ex-cabinet minister, Liam Fox, is the top story for The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph.

The Guardian says "Whitehall sources" indicated that there were multiple security breaches from Mr Fox's personal email and suggests it poses serious questions for the MP who is the UK's nominee for a top position at the World Trade Organisation.

The Daily Telegraph says the theft of documents from the former trade secretary has prompted a fresh review of government security.

The i newspaper reports that government scientific advisers are suggesting that people who have recently recovered from Covid-19 should be exempt from self-isolation and quarantine rules because they're much less likely to be infectious.

It says the findings could reopen the prospect of "immunity passports".

The Independent's online paper reports on health data which it says reveals the "true toll" of coronavirus on NHS waiting lists.

According to its analysis, in March last year less than 1,200 people across the UK had to wait more that a year for treatment. But by July this year the figure was nearly 20,000 in London alone.

There are many tributes following the death of one of the architects of the peace process in Northern Ireland, John Hume.

Writing for The Spectator, Alex Massie calls him "the first and the greatest of the Irish peacemakers" and says "few men in our lifetimes have served their country with greater distinction".

The Guardian says peacemaking was "often a lonely and perilous path", but the SDLP leader emerged "vindicated and triumphant" to become a revered statesman.

The Telegraph's editorial says he has earned his status "in the pantheon of Irish politics" by his refusal to support the men of violence who sought to achieve their aims with the gun and the bomb.

Newspapers in Spain have been reacting to the decision by their former King, Juan Carlos to leave the country, while he is under investigation for corruption.

La Vanguardia says the departure of Juan Carlos, who handed power to his son six years ago, has "shaken the foundations of Spanish politics".

El Mundo says the people will be shocked by his decision to go abroad, and says it the carries an "added symbolic burden" because of painful exiles experienced by him and several of his ancestors.

El Pais describes the former King as "leaving through the back door" from his home for almost 58 years.

Its editorial argues that despite his disappointing conduct in the final years of his reign, his contribution to the progress and freedom of the Spanish should not be forgotten.

Many papers carry pictures of crowded cafes and queues outside restaurants, as people took advantage of the chancellor Rishi Sunak's "eat-out-to-help-out" discount.

The Daily Mail caption is "bargain banquet Britain". The Sun describes the "Rishi dishy" meal out as "cheap as chips".

The Daily Telegraph reports that Monday to Wednesday, the days when the 50% discount applies, is now the new weekend.

For the Times, the measure has helped restaurants "turn the tables" and the Daily Mirror also appears to hail it as a successful start with its caption "the proof of the pudding".
