'Pain beyond words' and 'Graduates face worst job market'

The headline on the front page of the Times reads: “Burnham to gift Ukraine blueprints for missiles”.
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".
The headline on the front page of the Metro reads: “'Joyride' five & cops killed in 4am crash”.
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.
The headline on the front page of the Daily Telegraph reads: “Graduates face worst job market on record”.
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 headline on the front page of the Guardian reads: “Britain will help Ukraine make its own long-range missiles, says PM”.
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.
The headline on the front page of the i Paper reads: “Burnham open to cutting uni fees for EU students as bargaining chip for better Brexit deal”.
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 headline on the front page of the Financial Times reads: “Warsh seeks to calm investor jitters as signs of economic strain increase”.
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.
The headline on the front page of the Daily Mail reads: “Children are 'not safe' on the internet”.
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.
The headline on the front page of the Sun reads: “We're all grin it together”.
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.
The headline on the front page of the Daily Express reads: “Let's talk about assisted dying, Mr Burnham... while I still can”.
"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 headline on the front page of the Daily Mirror reads: “No more”.
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 headline on the front page of the Daily Star reads: “The prem suspects”.
"The prem suspects" says the Star, which reports that Manchester City fans are "top of the league" for bad behaviour.

The front pages of the Times and the Daily Telegraph report that Prime Minister Andy Burnham will give Ukraine "secret blueprints" to produce long-range missiles. According to the Times, Scalp missiles are designed for attacks on high-value targets such as hardened bunkers and key infrastructure. The Telegraph says the move could convince other Western allies to follow suit. The Guardian warns though that it will "likely escalate tensions with Moscow at an already fraught time in UK-Russian relations".

The Sun features a picture of a smiling Princess of Wales on her way to church, with the paper saying the Royal Family put on a "united front" after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were returning to the UK. "We're all GRIN it together" is the headline. The i Paper describes the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's comeback as a "royal reckoning" - saying they will have to deal with the Palace "whether they like it or not".

The Daily Mail leads on a warning from the head of the National Crime Agency, Graeme Biggar, that it is "not safe" for children to go online. The paper says "terrifying" figures reveal up to 900 cases of suspected child sexual exploitation are flagged every day.

"No more", is the message from families of victims of drowning on the front of the Daily Mirror. In an open letter to the prime minister, they say "anyone can drown, but no one should". They are calling for Burnham to appoint a minister with responsibility for drowning prevention.

"Thor blimey" is a caption in the Daily Mail as it features pictures of the Manchester City and Norway footballer Erling Haaland having his trademark long hair cut. The Daily Express considers whether Haaland's new "close-cropped look" may have left him with "food for thought" after failing to score in yesterday's 2-1 victory over Bournemouth. The Daily Star's editorial has no such concerns - saying he remains a "cut above".
