'America on the warpath' and 'Trump to run Venezuela'

The front pages of the Sunday papers all feature the same image of Venezuela's leader, Nicolas Maduro, after his capture by the United States. He's pictured in handcuffs, wearing a blindfold and ear defenders, sat on board a US warship bound for New York. "America's Captive", says the Observer; "Nicked", says the Sun on Sunday.

The Sunday Mirror describes the US attack on Venezuela as "astonishing", while the Mail on Sunday says the world is reeling from what it calls the "shock-and-awe raid". According to the Sunday Times, more than 150 aircraft were involved in the military operation, with a fleet of helicopters moving in to abduct the "pyjama-clad" Venezuelan president after air defences in Caracas were immobilised.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, the former US national security advisor, John Bolton, warns that removing Mr Maduro alone would be a "hollow victory for America". He defends the US action, arguing it was "entirely justified" by critical national security interests, but says other key regime figures remain in Caracas and calls on Washington to "finish the job".

Several leader columns express reservations about the raid on Caracas. "Might is not right", argues The Observer, which says the US is "more feared now ... but less respected", after it exercised power "as a bully". The Sunday Times warns that the US record of intervention in Latin America "does not bode well" while The Sunday Express notes that Mr Trump "now has the responsibility of ensuring a humanitarian catastrophe does not unfold".

Elsewhere, claims that the emergency exit of the Swiss bar where at least 40 people died in a fire "was always locked" are highlighted by The Mail on Sunday. The Sunday Times says anger is also growing over suggestions that the venue may have turned a blind eye to underage drinking as hundreds of people celebrated the New Year.

The Sunday Telegraph reports that the King has overtaken Princess Anne as the hardest working Royal, despite undergoing weekly cancer treatment. Figures show he conducted 533 engagements last year, while his younger sister carried out 478.

And with the headline, "Nessie's not there", The Daily Star Sunday says Britain's top Loch Ness Monster expert has come to the conclusion that it doesn't exist. Adrian Shine has spent "decades searching" after moving to the Highlands and founding the Loch Ness Project, but now believes the lake doesn't have enough fish to sustain a creature of Nessie's reputed size.
