'Anger at Nato troop insult' and 'Trump delays Chagos surrender'
BBC
For the Guardian and several of today's papers, US President Donald Trump's "insult" to Nato troops is in the lead. British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has rebuked the president's comments that Nato troops stayed off the front lines in Afghanistan as "frankly appalling". But now, his comment "risks a further diplomatic rupture with the White House", the paper writes.
The Daily Mirror demands an apology from Trump with "say sorry" for the headline after his "insult to fallen Brit heroes". Both injured veterans and Prince Harry "slam" the president, it says.
The Independent echoes the Miror with Starmer's call for Trump to apologise for the "appalling slur on our war dead". The paper honours the personnel killed in the fighting with photos of some of the 457.
The Daily Express calls Donald Trump a "bloody cheek" after his Nato comments. "Donald, there are 457 tragic reasons why you are so wrong", it says with its front splashed with a convoy of hearses that carried the coffins of British troops killed in Afghanistan.
"Now Trump delays Chagos surrender" headlines the Daily Mail. The legislation, which was due to be debated in the House of Lords on Monday, would see the archipelago handed to Mauritius, with the UK leasing a military base for £101m a year. But the debate has been pulled "just days" after the president "blasted the UK for 'an act of great stupidity'," it writes, saying the move raises "hope of 15th U-turn".
The Daily Telegraph says UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been "forced" to pull the Chagos Islands bill following "US backlash over the deal". Also on its front, "genetic tests for cancer coming on the NHS".
The Sun has the latest on Brooklyn Beckham and his famous family. In an exclusive, the paper says his wife Nicola Peltz told him "it's me or her, you can't have both" after "feeling upstaged by his mum Victoria at their wedding".
Young people with "normal" mental health conditions are being "written off", the author of a review into Neets - young people not in education, employment or training - has said. Former Labour cabinet minister Alan Milburn told the Times the UK is facing a "lost generation" of 16-24 year olds as a result.
The price of gold has surged after "Trump's Greenland moves batter dollar", writes the Financial Times. Closer to home, a "handful of super-rich patrons" have been buying Britain's "struggling" village pubs - including the Rothschild family.
The Daily Star hints at a big reveal for the Traitors season finale with "Claudia's Traitors secret". But instead reveals the "tv host's behind-the-scenes tan trick".
A plot against Starmer and Streeting tops The i Paper, as it says "key figures" in the Labour party support Andy Burnham's return to the House of Commons as expectation mounts that he will challenge the PM for leadership. Those on the left of the party "fear a 'Wes Streeting coronation'," it writes.
The Daily Telegraph leads on the delayed House of Lords debate on the Chagos deal. The paper notes the Conservatives' warning that the deal would violate a 60-year treaty with the US, and that both countries have been in talks since late last year about updating the agreement. The Daily Mail also leads on the story; it says the decision raises hope of the government's fifteenth U-turn.
The Times's front page carries a warning from the government's work tsar, Alan Milburn, who says a generation of young people with what he calls "normal" mental health conditions are being written off work for a life on benefits. Speaking to the paper, Milburn said the nearly one million young people out of work, education or training was a "moral crisis".
The i Paper leads on the potential return of Labour's Andy Burnham to Parliament. The paper describes the Greater Manchester mayor as the prime minister's "rival" because he's expected to launch a leadership challenge if he were to become an MP by winning the Gorton and Denton by-election. The report notes that Labour's far left fears the Health Secretary Wes Streeting, would be most likely to challenge Sir Keir Starmer's leadership if Burnham doesn't return to Parliament.
Confusion about the future of Greenland led to a surge in gold prices, according to the Financial Times. Its report says the metal is set for its best week in almost two decades, after investors rushed to safe alternatives to the dollar because of concerns over what it calls "erratic US policymaking".
The Sun says Brooklyn Beckham's wife Nicola Peltz gave him an ultimatum after feeling upstaged by his mother, Victoria, at their wedding. "It's her or me" reads its headline.
