'PM vows to shield Brits' and 'Panic in Dubai'

The Daily Telegraph leads on Sir Keir Starmer telling Donald Trump to negotiate with Iran and de-escalate the war in the Middle East. The paper says the comments threaten to strain an "increasingly fraught" relationship between the UK and the US. It also tells its readers that tensions related to the conflict "spilt on to the streets of Manchester" as demonstrators gathered to mourn the death of Ayatollah Khamenei and clashed with counter-protesters.

The Times focuses on Trump's insistence that he must help choose Iran's next leader. He called the frontrunner Mojtaba Khamanei - the son of the assassinated Supreme Leader - a "lightweight" who, if selected, would draw the US into another conflict with Iran within five years.

The headline on the Daily Mail is "desperate and delusional" as the paper details the opinions of opposition politicians about Sir Keir Starmer's response to the war. The Daily Star accuses the Prime Minister of "dithering" and tells him to "get a grip" - while the Daily Express says Britain needs a warrior, not a wobbler. The Daily Mirror says Sir Keir has vowed to do all he can to protect Britons in the Middle East.

The Financial Times says the drone attack on Azerbaijan which closed parts of its airspace means air travel between Europe and Asia has been squeezed into a "narrow corridor" about 50 miles across. Iran has been blamed for the attack and the paper says it has put further pressure on western airlines avoiding the Middle East and Russia.

The Sun claims the Soham child killer, Ian Huntley, was blinded when he was attacked with a makeshift weapon in prison last week. The newspaper quotes a source saying that he is "near the end" - and that very few people will shed a tear.

According to the Guardian, the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has put herself on a "collision course" with Labour MPs over her immigration reforms. One backbencher is reported as saying the changes "mimicked Donald Trump" with another claiming they would lead to another Windrush-style scandal. The paper says Mahmood was "confident" she would be able to enact the changes.
