Tuesday’s news is dominated by the inauguration of Donald Trump and his first day as the 47th president of the United States. As soon as he returned to office he issued orders including withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization and declaring an emergency regarding the US-Mexico border. Many publications look at what sort of relationship the US and the UK will have over the next four years.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a public inquiry into the murder of the three little girls at a dance class in Southport last year. Axel Rudakubana pleaded guilty to their murders as well as attempted murder and terror-related charges including making ricin. Many news publications report he had planned to commit the UK’s first school massacre just a week before he murdered the children. Since his guilty plea, it has also been revealed that he was referred to a counter-extremism scheme three times.

The prime minister has said the state failed the victims and an inquiry will be held to understand how this happened.

A rather cloudy day across the central swathe of the UK with outbreaks of rain. Elsewhere, fog patches gradually lifting allowing some bright or sunny spells to develop, especially across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures near or slightly below average. Tonight: Band of patchy rain remaining slow-moving across central areas overnight. Increasingly cloudy to the south with some fog developing. Clear spells and a patchy frost developing across the north.

Tuesday’s front pages are dominated by two main stories: Donald Trump’s inauguration and the guilty plea entered by Axel Rudakubana on the first day of his trial for the Southport attacks. The 18-year-old admitted to killing three young children – aged six, seven and nine – at a dance class in Southport in July.

Many papers lead with Trump’s inauguration and what America’s next four years under his leadership could look like. Some papers offer opinions on how the UK should approach the new leadership in the United States.
