The rising tensions between Russia and the West, following Ukraine’s use of US-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russian territory for the first time, are splashed on the front pages this morning. 

The papers suggest the policy shift from the US president has escalated the situation in the West, and in response, Russian President Vladimir Putin has lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike. Many of the front pages fear a potential nuclear war on the horizon. 

Striking images of yesterday’s farmers’ protests in London find space on the front pages as do reports on the effects of the chancellor’s October Budget. 

Showbiz, the cold snap and sports make up the rest of the stories on the front pages today.

The back pages lead with the news Pep Guardiola has signed a one-year extension to his contract.
