Newspaper headlines: Ozempic 'slows ageing' and Jenas 'battling to save marriage'

Several newspapers on Saturday reported on a recent discovery that suggests Ozempic may have the ability to "slow down the process of biological aging." The medication contains semaglutide, which is commonly used to treat Type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, experts now believe that it may have additional benefits, such as potentially reversing kidney disease, preventing heart failure, lowering high blood pressure that was previously untreatable, and reducing the risk of death from COVID-19 by 33%, according to the Times.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the medication has the potential to provide a sense of rejuvenation, citing Prof Harlan M Krumholz from Yale University. Prof Krumholz was among a team of specialists who discussed the results of 11 studies on semaglutide at the European Society of Cardiology in London. Additionally, the weekend magazine of the paper includes a captivating photo of British actress Kate Winslet, who is promoting her new film "Lee" which is based on the life of model turned war correspondent Lee Miller.

The Daily Express also has a headline quoting Prof Krumholz. Additionally, the paper features a picture of Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, who was spotted behind a DJ booth in Ibiza. The paper notes that Ms Rayner appears unfazed by the recent comments made by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer about the upcoming Budget being potentially difficult for many.

The Daily Mail is calling Deputy Prime Minister Rayner's recent actions as "raving!" They also mention Sir Keir's recent speech. The main topic of discussion in the paper, however, revolves around the Royal Family. Reports suggest that Princes William and Harry both attended a memorial service but did not interact with each other.

The Daily Mirror has a special interview with Jermaine Jenas' father, who says his son is "struggling to fix his marriage". Mr. Jenas was fired from his job at the BBC last week for reportedly sending inappropriate messages to a female co-worker. "He is aware that he has upset his wife," Mr. Jenas' father, Dennis, tells the Mirror.

In some newspapers, there is a big focus on the bills that people pay for things like water and electricity. The Guardian newspaper has a story about Thames Water trying to convince the government to let them raise their prices by a lot. The water company did not want to talk about this when asked. The newspaper also has a picture of Lizzi Jordan, a cyclist who won a gold medal at the Paralympics.

The blog section of the i weekend is centered around energy bills and results from a survey of 1,560 adults showing that 68% believe the government is not doing enough to assist with rising costs. Additionally, the front page features news about Oasis ticket sales, which are selling quickly and being resold for exorbitant prices, causing the band to issue a warning against such practices.

A popular photo of Liam and Noel Gallagher is featured prominently in the Daily Star, with a story proposing that the brothers could potentially bring peace to Ukraine by performing a concert on the Russian border. The headline reads "Oasis has the power to make a global impact".

Sotheby's, a company that sells valuable items through bidding, saw a significant drop in profits and sales. This was attributed to a decrease in activity in the high-end art market, which also impacted their competitor, Christie's.

"Could weight loss medication hold the key to eternal youth?" questions the Daily Express in an article online. The publication reports that several revolutionary studies have discovered that semaglutide, also known as Ozempic, may have the potential to address various medical conditions.

As per reports from various sources like the Times, Daily Mirror, and Daily Telegraph, there is potential for external benefits such as improving conditions related to arthritis, Alzheimer's, and cancer. One expert mentioned in the Daily Mirror even suggested that it could possibly slow down the aging process. The Daily Telegraph has also mentioned that millions of people could see positive effects and this could result in increased demand for the NHS to make Ozempic more accessible.

According to insiders, Thames Water has reportedly asked the government to step in and possibly go against the regulator's decision to raise prices for customers. This move is seen as a last-ditch effort to improve the company's financial situation and prevent it from being taken over by the government. Sources say that company advisors and board members have cautioned government officials that allowing this action could discourage international investors from investing in the UK. Thames Water has chosen not to respond to these claims.

The Telegraph has said that owners of pubs may be facing a new rule about the lowest price of alcohol in England. A confidential source mentioned that a high-ranking government official brought up the topic at a meeting, suggesting that the alcohol industry should take more responsibility for addressing the negative effects of alcohol. However, the government has clarified that they are not currently considering implementing this rule.

The Times reported that officials outside the military are worried that the government may reduce funding for big military projects in the upcoming Autumn statement. After listening to Sir Keir Starmer's recent speech, where he cautioned that things may deteriorate before improving, sources told the paper that there is decreasing hope of receiving additional finances for defense every time the prime minister speaks. The government has stated its intention to outline a plan for investing 2.5% of GDP in defense at the earliest opportunity.

The main page of the i weekend focuses on a survey conducted by an external poll, revealing that most individuals think government officials are not taking sufficient action to address the issue of expensive energy bills. The publication notes that the initial phase of positive public opinion towards the Labour party seems to be fading quickly, as the poll also indicates a decrease in support from voters.

The Daily Mail reports that Princes William and Harry did not speak to each other while attending their uncle's funeral. According to witnesses, the brothers left the service without exchanging any words, suggesting that there was no reconciliation between them. The Sun describes their encounter as a "cold reunion", noting that despite standing close to each other at one point, they appeared distant and avoided communication.

A lot of newspapers are showing pictures of the deputy prime minister partying at a nightclub in Ibiza. According to the Sun, many people at the club cheered on "Angela Rayner the raver" as she danced. In the Mail, former culture secretary Nadine Dorries criticizes the scenes as "thoughtless and immature". But the Mirror praises Ms Rayner as "the queen of clubs" for bringing a fun element to politics.
