'Pain beyond words' and 'Graduates face worst job market'
The two police officers killed in a crash with five suspected joyriders on Saturday morning have been pictured on several front pages on Monday morning, including the Times. The paper includes tributes from the families of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough, under the headline: "Family's pain beyond words over police deaths".
Alongside the two police officers, the Metro also pictures the five "youngsters" who died in the high-speed Middlesbrough crash, whom it names as Michael Robert Cahill, 23, Theo Rae, 17, Cole Robert Worthy, 17, Jacob Matusiak, 23, and Makai Saddington, 18.
University graduates are facing the worst job market on record, the Telegraph says, suggesting vacancies have fallen 45% from this time last year. It notes that it comes as a record number of teenagers head to university next month, adding that the latest numbers represent a "steep challenge" for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
The Guardian says that Monday will see Burnham announce that the UK will help Ukraine make its own long-range missiles. The prime minister will arrive in Ukraine later today to mark its independence day, the paper reports, where he will say that the European defence company MBDA will be allowed to declassify information about the UK-made components of Storm Shadow missiles. The Guardian adds that, while the announcement will likely take years to have an impact on the war, it could escalate tensions with Moscow at a "fraught" time in UK-Russian relations.
Universities are also the lead for the i Paper, which says the prime minister is prepared to reduce the "hefty" tuition fees for Europeans studying in the UK in exchange for "substantial concessions on trade". The paper says Brussels has long demanded lower rates as part of a youth mobility deal for under-30s visas, but the UK has so far resisted due to warnings from universities that it could "blow a hole" in their finances.
The Financial Times has focused on an upcoming speech from US Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh, where he is expected to attempt to "soothe investors' nerves" as signs of economic strain mount. The paper suggests that the speech, which will be made on Friday at the annual Jackson Hole symposium, could be a crunch moment for one of Donald Trump's key economic appointees.
A warning from the National Crime Agency (NCA) is the main story for the Daily Mail, which declares "Children are 'not safe' on the internet". The head of the agency, Graeme Biggar, has told the paper that every day sees an average of 400 cases of suspected child sexual exploitation flagged to the NCA.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, beams on the front page of the Sun, which reads: "We're all grin it together". The paper says the Royal family are presenting a "united front" ahead of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's return to the UK later this month.
"Let's talk about assisted dying, Mr Burnham... while I still can" reads the Daily Express, after interviewing terminally ill father Phil Newby. The campaigner, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease 12 years ago, has asked Burnham for a meeting to discuss the legislation before he is no longer able.
The front page of the Daily Mirror is dedicated to its own campaign on water safety, Save Lives for Sam, after a number of drownings over the summer. The paper says at least 56 people this year have drowned in the UK, with their families signing an open letter to the prime minister pleading with him to meet them and "prevent more lives from being lost".
"The prem suspects" says the Star, which reports that Manchester City fans are "top of the league" for bad behaviour.
