UK papers: 'Plagiarism row professor resigns' and 'West End stab rampage'

Image caption, The Times leads with the resignation of the "plagiarism row professor" Jason Arday, who it says also made "extraordinary claims about his athletic feats and fundraising achievements". The "star" Cambridge academic said in a statement that his resignation was not an acceptance of the accusations against him. The paper also reports that "grooming gang abusers" could be part of the early prison release scheme "despite Andy Burnham's pledge to exclude them".

Image caption, Arday is dubbed the "plagiarism professor" by the Daily Mail. It says he resigned "just hours" after Cambridge University launched an investigation into "tall claims from his life story". Arday has said his decision to resign "is simply the decision of someone who has reached the limits of what any person should reasonably be expected to endure".
