1Up to nine nations are interested in Sir Keir Starmer's plan to deport failed asylum seekers to so called "return hubs" in other countries which he announced in Albania, reports the Times.

3The i paper's take is that the UK is scrambling for a new migrant deal in the Balkans after what it calls a snub from Albania.

4The paper says Sir Keir is to begin talks with countries thought to include Bosnia, Serbia and North Macedonia.

5The Telegraph's main story is that children are to be taught at school how to show "grit". 6The paper says it's an attempt by the government to tackle a growing mental health crisis among young people.

8The ministers say they will give every child that needs it access to mental health support.

11New powers are to be used by ministers to block big bonuses for Thames Water bosses, according to the Guardian.

12The paper says the UK's biggest water company has admitted the substantial payouts are linked to a £3bn emergency loan, meant to stabilise its finances.

13Thames Water tells the Guardian bonuses are vital to retain staff.

14The Express front page features Dame Esther Rantzen and her daughter urging MPs to back the TV presenter's call for assisted dying to be legalised with the headline, "Mum deserves peace of mind".

15In the paper, Rebecca Wilcox says the Childline founder - who has terminal lung cancer - would be watching today's Commons debate.
