Monday’s front pages continue the weekend trend of no clear lead story, and instead, a variety of topics dominate the headlines. 

Kyiv and Washington set for talks this week in Saudi Arabia, report a handful of broadsheets whilst several tabloids focus on Covid 5 years on – and how the UK marked the event.

Benefit cuts, prison reforms, growing crime in the UK and the sunny weather Britain has enjoyed – all make up the domestic coverage on the front pages. The back pages lead on last night’s Man Utd vs Arsenal, which ended in a 1-1 draw. The sports editors suggest that Arsenal’s failure to win has handed Liverpool the Premier League title. 

Sunday’s newspaper front pages lead with various stories ranging from Russia spy plots to Labour’s plans to tackle anti-social behaviour to Liam Gallagher’s love-child drama. 

In typical Sunday coverage, there’s no real lead story dominating the news today and instead a mixture of predominantly domestic news. 

The back pages report on yesterday’s Premier League action, France beating Ireland in the Six Nations and look ahead to today’s Manchester United vs Arsenal Premier League match.

There are two main stories dominating Friday’s front pages this morning, with the ongoing European plans to support Ukraine after the US paused military aid and the sentencing of an ex-soldier who raped and murdered his ex-girlfriend, and killed her mother and sister. 

A meeting of EU leaders in Brussels yesterday ended in an agreed increase in defence spending. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, was also in attendance and expressed his gratitude, noting that Europe has stuck with Ukraine throughout it all. 

Kyle Clifford, 26, has been convicted of raping his ex-girlfriend before brutally murdering her, her sister, and their mother. He used a crossbow to kill Louise Hunt and her sister, Hannah, while their mother, Carol, was fatally attacked with a knife.

A handful of papers feature some standalone publications – including a report that NHS staff may have illegally accessed information about the murders of the three victims of the Nottingham killer, Valdo Calocane.

Rachel Reeves also makes the front splashes, as does the ongoing backlash to the US tariffs on Canadian, Mexican and Chinese imports. 

The back pages lead with Man United’s 1-1 draw in last night’s Europa League.

Thursday’s front-page headlines continue to focus on the fallout from US President Donald Trump’s decision to pause US military aid to Ukraine as well as the recent decision to halt intelligence sharing with Kyiv.

The tabloids move focus away from Ukraine and instead report that illegal crossings of the English Channel, Tory concerns that a new law could see minorities getting softer sentences and the conviction of serial rapist Zhenhao Zou at a London court.

Liverpool’s win over PSG last night in the Champions League dominates the back pages.

Good Morning, France! A lot of the global news is dominated by Macron’s TV address last night, so grab a cup of coffee and let’s get into it.

Macron addresses concerns for France – and the world – last night, saying the rapprochement between the United States and Russia endangers European stability. French media looks closely at the latest from the Ukraine crisis, including reports that global oil prices are surging and the humanitarian situation is worsening.

Good Morning! Grab yourself a cup of coffee, and let’s review the biggest stories this morning!


It won’t come as much of a surprise to you, but Donald Trump continues to dominate much of the global conversation this week, as he issues Hamas with a ‘last warning’ amid direct talks with the group to secure the release of the hostages.

Alongside the latest from Trump are ongoing reports regarding the war in Ukraine after the US suspended military aid – following a week of high drama that started with a public bust-up between Zelenskyy and Trump at the Oval Office. Europe appears to be readying itself to take the reins from the US in regard to Ukraine’s security – with French President Emmanuel Macron delivering a televised speech yesterday explaining the importance of European unity.
