"UK boosts munitions to end dependence on US" is the lead headline for the Times. It says the UK is to dramatically increase the production of explosives used by the military so as not to be reliant on US and French manufacturers. The paper quotes the Defence Secretary John Healey who calls it "an important step".

The Guardian says rising drug prices and red tape brought about by Brexit are "derailing" opportunities for cancer patients to receive certain treatments and participate in international clinical trials. It cites a leaked report compiled by experts from organisations including Cancer Research.

"Trade uncertainty haunts key IMF meetings" is the lead headline for the Financial Times ahead of a major gathering of finance ministers and economic policymakers in Washington this week. The paper focuses on the impact of what it calls the "US-driven trade shock" caused by President Donald Trump's new tariffs – and says threats to global growth are rising.

The Mirror's front page carries what it calls an exclusive report on the sale of hunting trips to Africa. The paper publishes pictures of animal skins and heads on a stall, which it claims was among several selling trophy hunting holidays at a trade fair in Staffordshire. The report says campaigners are calling on the government to speed up a ban on the import of animal trophies to the UK.
