The front pages are dominated by stark images of the devastation left by the earthquakes in Turkey and Syria.

Most of the morning editions carry a picture of the baby girl who was born in the rubble in Syria.

The Sun, The Daily Mirror and the i describe it as a "miracle".

The Daily Express juxtaposes that image with a picture of a man in Turkey - holding the hand of his dead teenage daughter, trapped beneath a flattened building.

Its headline: "Hope and despair."

That photograph is also on the front of the Financial Times - which says the race is on to find victims of the quake.

The sentencing of the serial rapist and former Met police officer, David Carrick, also makes several of the front pages.

Metro simply has the headline "a scar on our police" - quoting the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman.

The Telegraph says the attorney general is reviewing whether the sentence is too lenient, while the Guardian says the police believe more victims are yet to be discovered, and that their investigation remains "active".

The Express features a comment piece written by the Independent Victims' Commissioner for London, Claire Waxman - who says the women who spoke up as part of the investigation deserve gratitude and admiration.

The paper says priests could decide to drop phrases such as "our father" from the Lord's Prayer.

A study of almost 150 patients, published in the journal Cancers, said the test was rapid, minimally invasive and inexpensive.

Researchers said it could significantly improve prostate cancer diagnosis.

The return of Fawlty Towers - 44 years after the sitcom last aired - is covered in most of the morning papers.

The Sun dedicates its front page to John Cleese, and says the show's revival is likely to spark a bidding war between streaming services.

The paper is one of several which references the sitcom's famous "Don't mention the war" scene - its headline "don't mention the reboot".

The Guardian swaps the word "war" for "sequel", and the Telegraph opts for "woke".

The Mail meanwhile says Basil Fawlty will need to tone down his 1970s humour.
