Newspaper headlines: Plastic bag use plunges and Army tackles fake news
A positive story for the environment is on the front of the i newspaper. Sales of single-use plastic bags at England's seven biggest retailers have plunged by 90% since the start of the 5p charge four years ago, the paper reports. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Co-op, Waitrose and Marks and Spencer sold 549 million single-use bags in the year 2018/19. Back in 2014, before the charge in England, the average person bought 140 bags a year - now, it's just 10 bags.
Currently, police guidance says suspects' names should not be published until they are charged - but there is no law preventing them being named by other means.The Metro leads on reports that one of the sons of Osama Bin Laden - the former leader of al-Qaeda - is dead. The US had been offering a reward of up to $1m for information about Hamza Bin Laden, who was believed to be his father's heir as leader of the Islamist militant group.
