What the papers say - February 7
Wednesday's papers offer a mixed bag, with the Brexit latest making the headlines along with police charging a "fantasist" who sparked a VIP child sex probe with possession of indecent images.
There is also space on the fronts for Cheddar Man - a fossil unearthed in Somerset more than a century ago which has revealed the first modern Britons had "dark to black skin".
Cheddar Man features on the front of the Times, with the paper's main story suggesting the EU will demand "unilateral powers" during the Brexit transition phase - which will allow the bloc to ground flights and impose trade tariffs.
