Thursday’s front pages have a variety of stories as their leads but most of the papers feature the dramatic images of the Italian emergency teams bringing victims of the yacht disaster back to shore.

Elsewhere it’s mostly domestic politics on the front pages as the publications offer up their assessments of challenges the new government faces. Some papers are looking ahead to the upcoming Autumn budget.

Showbiz news, including Taylor Swift’s boost to the UK economy and JLO and Ben Afflect’s divorce, make the front pages.

The sports pages are dominated by Premier League gossip, with most back pages choosing to lead on reports Raheem Sterling is being forced out of Chelsea.

Wednesday’s front pages reflect the latest in the luxury yacht sinking off the coast of Sicily as more details have emerged about those missing. Many of the papers report on rescue crews attempting to access the sunken ship with some speculating if anyone could still be alive.

Elsewhere, King Charles is pictured on most of the front splashes as he visited with victims of the Southport victims. The king is seen on the front viewing flower tributes to the three little girls who were killed.

Domestic politics and showbiz stories are sprinkled across the front pages, though there is little unity in their political and celebrity front page reports.

As more details pour out regarding the luxury boat sinking off the coast of Sicily, the story has started to dominate the headlines around the world. In the UK, Tuesday’s front pages are dominated by yesterday’s news that the British tech tycoon Mike Lynch and his daughter are among the six people still missing.

There’s not much coverage of the story on the international front pages, but online – since the news of other prominent figures from banking and tech from around the world are among the missing – the story is becoming more international.

Away from the yacht sinking, a few UK papers feature showbiz and royal stories on the sidebar. A few of the papers lead on other domestic topics – mostly politics.

Last night’s Premier League draw between Leicester City and Spurs dominates the back pages.

Monday’s front pages cover various stories. Most of the papers feature striking images from last night’s Paris Olympics closing ceremony as the Games ended in ‘spectacular style.’

The funeral of Alice da Silva Aguiar is also pictured on the front pages – and is the lead story for many of the tabloids. The nine-year-old was stabbed to death, along with two other little girls, at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.

Several broadsheets continue their coverage around the riots that followed the murder of the three little girls with the worst of the violence appearing to be behind us now. The aftermath of the rioting – and what comes next – is covered by the papers, with each offering up their analysis and opinions about the future.

There’s some light domestic political coverage on the front pages though not enough to dominate this morning’s conversations.

The back pages focus on Team GB’s efforts at the Paris Olympics, as well as Premier League gossip.
