A number of Monday’s front pages touch on a call between US President Donald Trump and the UK Prime Minister. The Daily Telegraph says Trump is expected to visit Britain “soon” after he shared his first dialogue with Sir Keir Starmer since his inauguration last week. Elsewhere on the front of the paper, King Charles is pictured ahead of his visit of Auschwitz for the 80th anniversary of the death camp’s liberation.
A picture of President Trump also features on the front of the Times as he spoke to reporters onboard Air Force One. The main story says Starmer is set to resist Trump’s demand for higher defence spending – but notes the leaders had a “warm” first call. At the top of the Times is an image of a glum-looking Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham slumped to another Premier League defeat – which the paper has labelled a “crisis”.
US President Trump features on the front of the Guardian but this time over comments saying he wants Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians from Gaza. The remarks have been “rejected by US allies in the region” and “attacked as dangerous”, the paper reports. Elsewhere, the Guardian picks up on hints given by Chancellor Rachel Reeves that the government would support a third runway at Heathrow Airport, saying “sustainable aviation and economic growth go hand in hand”.
In other domestic news, plans to treat more people at home or in their local area instead of in hospital are expected to form part of a major overhaul of A&E care, according to the front page of Monday’s i newspaper which says details will be published in spring.
Monday’s Metro splashes on an operation carried out by the National Crime Agency to shut down 8,000 social media accounts linked to people smuggling. “Smuggler gangs logged out” is the headline as the newspaper says it is part of efforts to tackle the issue of small boats crossing the English Channel from mainland Europe.
It is getting to that time of the year when local authorities across the UK announce next year’s council tax tariffs – and according to the Daily Mail bills could soar by 25% in some of the most cash-strapped areas. The paper predicts it could hit up to four million people. The main picture is of TV presenter Holly Willoughby who donned a pink gown for a Wicked-style Dancing On Ice show in a weekend when she opened up about her kidnap plot ordeal.
Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, British Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich tells the Daily Mirror she has to walk through the gates of Auschwitz concentration camp despite it giving her terrible “flashbacks” because she does not want those who died “to be forgotten.” On the front page the 91-year-old poses at the gates while touching some barbed wire.
Underneath the headline “Never Forget” the Daily Express has a poignant black and white image of Holocaust survivor Susan Pollack. The 94-year-old is quoted saying “You don’t think you live in a world which does those things” as the paper reflects on the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation.
Finally, according to the Daily Star Britain is set to be battered by four more storms this week which could cause more power cuts, travel chaos and floods across parts of the country.
Several front pages carry images of holocaust survivors for Holocaust Memorial Day.
One of them, Susan Pollack, tells the Daily Express: “You don’t think you live in a world which does those things.”
British Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich, 94, talks to the the Daily Mirror about it being “painful” to walk into the notorious camp – after having lost most of her relatives during the Holocaust.
The Daily Telegraph says the King will be the first British monarch to set foot in Auschwitz. A source close to him has described the visit as a “deeply personal pilgrimage.”
A spokesman for the Auschwitz Museum tells the Guardian, there will not be any speeches by politicians today, and the focus will be on the survivors.

In other news, the Times describes yesterday’s phone call between Sir Keir Starmer and President Trump as “warm and personable” – but the paper says the PM will resist pressure to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030, because of concerns about Britain’s public finances.
On its front page the Daily Mail says more than four million people in England face punishing council tax rises above 4.99% – which is the maximum normally allowed by law. The paper says eight struggling local authorities are asking the government to allow increases ranging from just under 10 to 25%.
According to the i newspaper, A&E patients could be treated at home to avert what it describes as another winter “Armageddon”.
Finally, the Daily Star reports more torrential downpours and wind are expected to batter the country over the next 48 hours. The paper says the Met Office has placed yellow warnings in a “whopping” 58 areas throughout the United Kingdom.
