| The Financial Times leads with a story about a business registered "to a small house in a north London suburb" which it says has been responsible for the sale of about $1.2bn (£970 million) worth of electronics into Russia since its invasion of Ukraine at the start of last year. The paper also reports that "fried shark fillets" could be returning to menus of fish and chip shops after the lifting of a ban. Sold as 'rock salmon', it comes as the "fish and chip industry suffers from rising input costs and a 35 per cent levy on imports of Russian seafood". | The Financial Times leads with a story about a business registered "to a small house in a north London suburb" which it says has been responsible for the sale of about $1.2bn (£970 million) worth of electronics into Russia since its invasion of Ukraine at the start of last year.

| The Daily Telegraph leads on the shooting of two British-Israeli sisters in the West Bank, describing it as "an apparent revenge attack" by a Palestinian militant. It says tensions in Israel have "soared" this week, with Israeli police moving in to Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque, and militant groups firing rockets from Lebanon. The Sun says the sisters' car was believed to have been targeted because it had Israeli number plates. The Times reports that Israeli officials have said, off the record, that airstrikes the military carried out on recent days had been limited in scale, in the hope of preventing further escalation. | |
| The Guardian says that personalised vaccines for skin cancer could be ready in as little as five years, potentially saving millions of lives. The chief medical officer of Moderna - one of the pharmaceutical companies behind the Covid vaccines - tells the paper that "all sorts of disease areas" could benefit. Paul Burton says multiple respiratory infections could be covered by a single jab. | |
| The paper also carries a story that Labour frontbenchers have been left "uneasy", by the attack advert which claims Rishi Sunak does not believe child abusers should be jailed. The papers says one shadow minister found its "distasteful" and would not go on air to defend it, while another said it was "not good politics". | |
| The Times warns of a house-building crisis, saying that 55 local authorities have scrapped their planning targets. It says the number of housing projects granted planning permission in England last year fell to its lowest level since 2006, when the figures were first collected. The paper says that is causing concern among Treasury officials, as fewer homes being built would hold back growth. However, the government says the number of homes completed last year was the third highest in 30 years. | |
| A new Royal book is being serialised in the Daily Mail and the paper leads with what it calls a "bombshell" revelation. According to the book by Robert Jobson, the Princess of Wales found her public walkabout with Harry and Meghan after the Queen's death "one of the hardest things she's ever had to do". It says that was because of the "ill feeling" between the two couples. The paper says other revelations in the book include a claim that the Queen found Harry's phone calls after he moved to California to be "wearisome". | |
| The news that hundreds of charity workers will be invited to the coronation next month makes the front page of the Daily Express. It says the King is "shunning tradition" and has "ripped up the rule book to create the most inclusive coronation in British history". The Daily Mirror says those invited include a teenager who camped in his garden for three years to raise money for a local hospice. It calls the invitations a "crowning glory for our real heroes". The Sun calls the idea "truly heartening". | |
