Newspaper headlines: 'Town gripped by fear' and 'Nepal death toll climbs'
Several papers focus on the violence unfolding in Middlesbrough, described by the Mirror as a town "under seige".
The devastation in Nepal is pictured across many of the front pages. The Daily Mail reports on the British families desperately trying to contact missing relatives, after what's described as a "tsunami from the sky" .
The Times says a nurse from Kent is among the missing , while the Sussex businessman, Pramod Poudel, tells the Daily Telegraph from Gatwick Airport he is travelling back to his Nepalese home village to try to find his wife, mother, uncle and brother.
The Guardian focuses on warnings that there could be further flooding , with a newly-formed lake now at risk of bursting. According to the Financial Times, the disaster is a "brutal reminder of the growing risks to people in the Himalayas", which is "deeply vulnerable to climate change".
"Under siege" is the headline in the Daily Mirror, which leads on the deployment of hundreds of additional police officers in Middlesbrough - where it says "residents are living in fear" because of an "alleged gangland turf war".
One resident tells the Daily Express: "It seems like the whole town has gone crazy" . Another, quoted in the Sun, says: "It's scary, you wonder what's going to happen next". The paper's front page asks how a UK town could become a "war zone".
The i Paper r eports that guards at the Chinese embassy in London have been caught threatening protesters with banned electro-shock batons. The paper says the incident has sparked a diplomatic row, with the government warning Beijing that it will not tolerate any attempts "to coerce, intimidate, harass or harm" people on UK soil. The Chinese embassy has been contacted for comment.
Sources tell the Mirror that the Home Office is "actively" reassessing whether Prince Harry and his family should have taxpayer-funded security. Since moving to the US, the Duke of Sussex has paid for his own protection. But insiders say now that he is moving back to the UK, "the goalposts have moved".
And the Telegraph declares that people over 40 are "the last generation of regular drinkers". A study by 'Our Future Health' suggests those in their forties are 52% more likely than younger people to exceed government alcohol recommendations.
