Wednesday’s front pages cover the news the UK government has announced an extra £75bn on defence spending over the next six years. The papers declare the UK is on a “war footing” after the announcement.

The EU has called on international donors to resume funding to Gaza’s largest UN agency.

On Tuesday, tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires to protest against cuts to public universities. The protesters called for education funding to be protected. The country’s new President, Javier Milei, was elected to office last year promising to bring Argentina’s finances under control with sweeping cuts to the public sector.
