The Papers: 'Burn to be mild' and 'Pulp fiction'

Image caption, Many of the front pages carry the first face-to-face meeting - at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City - between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Andy Burnham since the latter took office. "Burn to be mild" is the Daily Star's take, quoting the president who says he "can do business" with the new British leader. As many of the papers emphasise, the front page also features Trump's criticism of the Chagos Island deal after he called it "terrible".
Image caption, "Burnham bows to Trump on Chagos" says the Daily Telegraph, writing that the prime minister pledged to do "everything possible to find a resolution to the issue". It explains that Burnham "reversed his position after a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly" over "plans to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius".
