| Route of HS2 Manchester and Leeds branches announced | |
| It's been delayed for several years by disagreements, but the government will announce the final route of the Manchester and Leeds branches of HS2 later, including the decision on what path tracks will take through Sheffield. It will also announce contracts worth £6.6bn for work on the first stretch of the new high-speed rail line, between London and Birmingham. Transport Secretary Chris Grayling said communities affected by the railway would receive "appropriate support" and be "treated with fairness, compassion and respect". But the Stop HS2 campaign called the whole project a "gigantic white elephant". | It's been delayed for several years by disagreements, but the government will announce the final route of the Manchester and Leeds branches of HS2 later, including the decision on what path tracks will take through Sheffield.

| High Court hears right-to-die case | High Court hears right-to-die case |
| A terminally-ill man who wants the right to die will have his case heard at the High Court. Noel Conway, 67, who has motor neurone disease, says he wants to say goodbye to loved ones "at the right time, not to be in a zombie-like condition suffering both physically and psychologically". Any doctor who helped him to die would face up to 14 years in prison. Supporters of the current legislation say it exists to protect the weak and vulnerable from being exploited or coerced. | A terminally-ill man who wants the right to die will have his case heard at the High Court.

City AM describes a "Brexit war", while the i mentions "cabinet chaos". Meanwhile, pictures of the new (and first female) Doctor Who, Broadchurch star Jodie Whittaker, feature on many front pages.
