PRESS REVIEW – Wednesday, July 1: Papers discuss a story from China that has flown under the radar: a plane crashed into the tallest building in Beijing in unclear circumstances. Next: why was "controversial figure" Vadim Ermolaev targeted in Monaco? Also: could Ireland become the next summer holiday hotspot? Finally, yodlers in Basel didn't get put off by the heatwave.
The Financial Times reports that a light plane crashed into Beijing's tallest building, raising questions about the city's "sense of security". The incident actually happened last Friday, but it took the press a few days to catch up, because of a "cloak of secrecy", the Financial Times reports, and a strict censorship of traditional and social media coverage.
