Newspaper headlines: 'Kyiv aid block' warning and 'run of a kind'

The Daily Telegraph says the Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron, is to warn the United States it is risking the West's security by holding up a new package of aid to Ukraine.

The bill has faced delays due to opposition by Republicans in the House of Representatives. Lord Cameron is hoping to address this during his trip to Washington this week. He has also written an article for the paper, with his French counterpart, Stéphane Séjourné, which mentions the importance of backing Kyiv in its fight against Russia. "If Ukraine loses, we all lose", they write.

The Times reports that more than 150,000 patients in England had to wait more than 24 hours in A&E before a bed was found on a ward last year. It says the figures are a ten-fold increase on 2019. The paper says NHS chiefs have acknowledged the problem, and they are trying to find other ways of treating people that avoid the need for admissions to hospital.

The Financial Times looks ahead to the next phase of the public inquiry into the Post Office IT scandal, which gets under way this week. The paper says there will be a shift to "accountability", as the latest stage focuses on the role company executives, government ministers and figures from Fujitsu played in handling the cases of sub-postmasters wrongly accused of fraud.

Many of the papers feature photographs of the British man who has completed his epic challenge to run the entire length of Africa. "Run of a kind" declares the Metro. "Victory" says the Sun. For the Mirror, the headline is: "No sweat". Russell Cook, from Worthing in West Sussex, set off almost a year ago and crossed the finish line on Tunisia's northern coast on Monday. The Daily Mail and the Guardian both highlight a comment the 27-year-old made as he completed his quest: "I'm a little bit tired".

And the Telegraph says tourists have flocked to see Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna, blow "almost perfect circles of smoke" into the blue skies over Sicily. This is happening because gases are being pushed quickly through a new circular crater that has appeared on the summit. It began early last week, with the paper suggesting the volcano has now "emitted hundreds or thousands" of the rings since. Experts say even the locals are impressed. One person who lives in a town at the foot of Mount Etna is quoted saying they have never seen anything as "spectacular" or "beautiful".
