Poverty and welfare appear on some front pages. The Daily Mirror uses a powerful image of a crying child to ask how in the UK - the world's sixth largest economy - one million food parcels were handed out in the last year. 
The Independent describes the situation as the "scandal that shames Britain", pointing out the number of parcels handed out by food bank organisation the Trussell Trust has risen 163% in the last year. 
Its sister paper, the i, spells out the report in bullet points, saying the charity claims the increase in demand for help is driven by benefit cuts. It says there have been calls for a government inquiry into the situation. 
But the Daily Express reports on Britain's "bloated benefits culture". It quotes a 36-year-old woman as saying she advised her daughter, 16, to become pregnant so she could claim welfare payments, because there were no jobs in the area. 
Meanwhile, the Sun says it's identified Britain's youngest parents as a 13-year-old boy and girl, 12, in north London. The girl, a primary school pupil, lives with her mother who - at 27 - is one of the UK's youngest grandparents, it says. 
The Metro quotes a United Nations official as saying a sexist, "boys' club" culture is rife in Britain. Rashida Manjoo reportedly says this leads to the "over-sexualisation" of young women, it reports. 
Banking reforms lead the Financial Times. It describes the process - aimed at making banks safer and markets more transparent - as "Europe's biggest financial rule-making spree" since the creation of the single market. 
International news leads the Guardian, which reports the latest situation in Ukraine. It says the country is "on the brink" after rebels fired at pro-Russian activists who had taken control of a regional airport. 
Fears about the future of the NHS make headlines again, with the Daily Telegraph reporting that Britain has fewer hospital beds than almost any other Western country. It raises fears the service is "stretched to breaking point". 
The Times claims UKIP members were silenced, ignored or forced out of the party after questioning its use of EU allowances and donations. Its leader Nigel Farage says he's taking legal advice, claiming to be victim of a "political smear". 
Meanwhile, the Daily Mail describes the Lib Dems as "squirming" over paedophilia claims about former MP Cyril Smith. Leader Nick Clegg has repeatedly said the party was unaware of allegations at the time. Continue reading the main story Figures from the Trussell Trust which reveal the food bank charity handed out emergency food parcels to more than 910,000 people in the last year make front-page headlines.It prompts the Daily Mirror to wonder how such a situation can arise in the world's sixth-largest economy. And comedian Eddie Izzard writes in the paper: "I've seen food parcels handed out many times in my work with Unicef or for Sport Relief... But I never thought I'd even hear of them handed out in my own country."
The Independent hears personal tales from those receiving help at the UK's busiest food bank, in Coventry, some of whom say they had benefits withdrawn after making an error on a form. The paper claims the situation is "a matter of demand, not supply". It points out that while the Department for Work and Pensions insists it's the expansion of food banks that has fuelled demand, people can only receive emergency food if they are referred by a care professional, such as a doctor, social worker or school liaison officer.
The Guardian reports that 600 religious leaders - including 40 Anglican bishops - have called on the government to take action to tackle the "national crisis" of food poverty.
It's poverty of a different kind that troubles the Daily Express. "Poverty of ambition that keeps families on welfare," is the headline on the paper's editorial column. "Despite strong efforts from the government it seems that some are still stubbornly choosing to live purely off handouts from the state," it says.
It's not referring to food banks but to the case of a mother-of-three who reportedly told her 19-year-old daughter to have a baby instead of getting a job, so that she would get increased welfare support and a council house.
Meanwhile, the Sun has good news for working families concerned about the cost of living, reporting a "nice little earner" as growth in average pay outstrips inflation for the first time in four years.
"The time has come for optimism," says the Times in its editorial, although it warns politicians they cannot afford to forget the millions of households that "limped through a six-year wage squeeze on mounting debts".
'The 96' remembered 
"A quarter of a century on, the pain is still as raw and the sense of loss as deep as it ever way," says the Daily Mirror's Brian Reade, reporting from the Anfield memorial service marking the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. "Time doesn't heal your wounds when the system has refused to. Only justice can do that."

The papers digest news that former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi has been sentenced to perform community service at a home for elderly and disabled people following his conviction for tax fraud. "It seems appropriate that a politician who defrauded society should pay back in the most literal way," says the Guardian.
It remembers other famous names who've been through similar experiences, such as singer Boy George who was ordered to sweep New York streets for wasting police time and model Naomi Campbell who - after being sentenced for striking her housekeeper with a mobile phone - "turned up at the New York sanitation department in a Dolce & Gabbana sequin dress and stilettos".
Meanwhile, the Times's Peter Brookes takes inspiration from Mr Berlusconi's infamous "bunga-bunga" sex parties for his cartoon. He sketches the 77-year-old naked and wheeling an elderly lady into the home, while telling her: "I've organised a bingo-bingo party."
Pictures from the service appear on many front pages, while images of the packed stands, tearful mourners and tributes laid out in scarves appear inside. The Daily Mail is among the papers to focus on two-year-old Tommy Biggadike, photographed laying flowers in memory of his grandfather, Thomas Howard, who died aged 34 with his son, another Thomas. "He is too young to appreciate his family's terrible loss. But few sights yesterday can have been as poignant," writes James Tozer.The Times prints a match report written by one of the victims, 15-year-old Vicky Hicks, who typed up her accounts of games and kept them in a folder hidden from her parents. Trevor and Jenni only found them after she died alongside her sister, Sarah.
For the Guardian's David Conn, the speech of Mr Hicks, along with those of Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers and his Everton counterpart Roberto Martinez dwelled on the "life-affirming side of the Hillsborough story: the families fight for justice" to lend a "warmth close to celebration" to proceedings.
Jeremy Wilson, in the Daily Telegraph, writes: "That justice might have been delayed, but the mood across all of Liverpool yesterday stretched beyond sombre reflection to immense pride at a city that, perhaps more than any other in England, is so identified by its football teams."
The Mirror has produced a special Merseyside edition, its front-page headline reading simply: "We'll never forget."
Desperate strategy? 
Tensions in Ukraine are captured on the front page of the Guardian, which describes the country as "on the verge of major armed conflict" after its forces fired at pro-Russian activists who'd captured an airfield in the country's east.

More than 400 people have signed a petition to replace a "frightening" automatic toilet which has blasted users with water when its cleaning systems operated prematurely, knocked one lady from the seat with an automatic arm and even opened unexpectedly to expose its unfortunate occupants, according to the Telegraph.
Described as a "super-loo", it was installed at Goldsworth Park in Woking, Surrey, five years ago and its users are charged 10p to spend a penny. However, the park's community association chairman says people are "too scared" to use it, prompting the council to say it will consider the future provision of loos in the area.
"The outbreak of fighting raised deep trepidation that Ukraine, which has already lost Crimea to the Kremlin, could be entering into a a civil war which may lead to the intervention of Vladimir Putin, who has repeatedly declared that he was prepared to act to protect ethnic Russians across the border," writes Kim Sengupta, in the Independent."No government in Kiev could simply sit back and relinquish control over this area, particularly as Donetsk also serves as the industrial backbone of the country's economy," writes David Blair in the Telegraph. "But restoring Kiev's authority by force would require a sizeable military operation."
For Ben Hoyle, in the Times, Ukraine's "punch-drunk government is gambling the country's future on President Putin's restraint... It looks like a desperate strategy".
Edward Lucas writes in the Daily Mail that the West must choose whether to surrender responsibility for Ukraine and the Baltic states or mount a last-ditch attempt to deter Russia from "furthering its imperial ambitions".
"If we do choose to resist Putin, we will risk a terrifying military escalation, which I do not think it an exaggeration to say could bring us to the brink of nuclear war."
Alien invasions 
"Super rats will eat our schools," says the Daily Star, reporting that "hordes of 2ft-long poison-immune rodents" could take over empty buildings over the holiday period. It quotes "rodent experts" as saying the new breed of rat is spreading across the UK and could cause damage resulting in millions of pounds of repairs.
Meanwhile, it's hornets troubling the Sun. Under the headline "king of the stingers", the paper says a "vicious" Asian species, three times the size of "normal" wasps, is on its way to the UK.The Mail lists other species identified by a Commons committee as a threat to native eco-systems. Alongside well-known "foreign intruders", such as Japanese knotweed and grey squirrels, are the Russian zebra mussel - which clogs up water works - and the oak processionary moth whose caterpillars have toxic hairs that can cause breathing problems.
Yet more aliens, killer shrimps - fish-eating crustaceans spreading from the Caspian Sea - are labelled "natural prawn killers" by the Daily Mirror.
However, it's a single animal that makes headlines elsewhere. The Express explains that a 6ft ostrich-like South American rhea is "on the run... at 40mph" in Hertfordshire. One man spotted it hiding in a field of rapeseed crop after escaping from its owner, a landowner who keeps it to eat weeds, the paper says.
