Snow and ice warnings have been issued today as many Brits woke up to some wintery weather as the cold snap sets in. The conditions have led to school closures and travel disruptions.

A planned march to Westminster by UK farmers is set to take place today. Farmers are protesting the chancellor’s plans to impose inheritance tax on farms valued over £1 million. The government have called for calm, reminding the public that most farmers won’t be affected by the rule. TV star Jeremy Clarkson is expected to join the protest.

Many publications – online and in print – continue their coverage of Joe Biden’s policy shift allowing Ukraine to use American-made weapons to attack Russia.

Several newspapers ponder whether the UK and Germany will follow Washington’s decision. There is coverage of Moscow’s reaction to Biden’s decision, with the Kremlin calling it a major escalation in the war and noting that there will be consequences for the UK if it follows Washington’s decision. Donald Trump’s team have expressed their anger at Biden’s decision, accusing him of “launching a whole new war.” Trump – who takes office in January – has repeatedly said he will end the Russia-Ukriane war as soon as he’s in power, but he has not indicated any sort of plan.

There are also ongoing reports about a potential trade deal with the US, with several of the business newspapers suggesting it will be tough talks with the new US president. An expert has predicted that the UK will align with Brussels if a trade war breaks out between the US and China.

The editorials continue their coverage of the PM’s meeting with the Chinese president Xi – and what that could mean for Starmer’s relationship with Trump.

Rain, sleet and snow will linger across central parts of England and Wales this morning. Gradually turning drier this afternoon with some brightness and feeling cold. Snow showers continuing in northern Scotland. Windy around coasts. Tonight, wintry showers continuing in the north tonight, and around some coasts. Largely dry elsewhere with largely clear skies. Widespread frost and some icy stretches where showers fall.

The ongoing dispute between farmers and the chancellor over her plans to impose inheritance tax on farms valued over £1 million continues to make the headlines.

Tuesday’s front pages also lend space to the latest in Ukraine as the papers suggest the UK is expected to join the US in letting Ukraine use its missiles to attack Russia.

Several front pages leave room to report on the incoming snow and wet weather barrelling into Britain today, with many people being warned of disruptions to travel.

There are reports on a major IT glitch that affected dozens of British Airways flights on Monday night and reports PM Keir Starmer could clash with Donald Trump over Britain’s new respectful approach to China.

Elsewhere, other domestic stories fill the front pages, whilst the back pages are dominated by English football.
