'PM lays down peace demand' and 'New breed of danger dogs'

The Prince and Princess of Wales are "very popular" with the Australian public, the Sunday Express reports. According to the paper, republicanism in the country is on a decline after the King and Queen visited last year. Elsewhere on the front page, the paper hails England's nail-biting win against Scotland in the Six Nations.

The Sunday People also reports on the royals, but for a different reason. The paper says a lawyer for victims of deceased US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has called on King Charles to encourage his brother, Prince Andrew, to "tell the truth" about his friendship with Epstein.

England rugby player Maro Itoje is splashed over the front page of the Sunday Telegraph, as they too report on the team's tense defeat of Scotland. However, the paper leads on a story about the prime minister's reported plans to increase the UK's military spending, ahead of a meeting with Donald Trump about Ukraine this week.

Defence Secretary John Healey is quoted on the front page of the Sunday Times, as the paper also leads on the war in Ukraine. Healey warns that an "insecure peace" deal for Ukraine risks further war with Russia. The defence secretary's words come ahead of a pivotal week for peace negotiations.

The Observer teases an interview with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, who says she has new passion for acting, after starring in more complex roles. The paper also covers Sir Keir Starmer's trip to Washington DC next week.

A plain-clothes police officer shows his identification card in a doorbell camera picture on the front of the Mail on Sunday. The paper accuses police of a "chilling clampdown" on free speech, after reportedly turning up at the home of a grandmother who had criticised Labour councillors on Facebook.

The Sun leads on a story about celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo, quoting a female former television producer. The producer alleges that D'Acampo drew an explicit picture of her during the filming of a live show. The chef has previously faced a number of allegations of inappropriate and intimidating behaviour, all of which he has denied.

The Sunday Mirror warns readers of a violent breed of dog from Asia, the "Bully Kutta". The paper alleges the dogs are coming into the UK and "taking over" from the XL Bully, ownership of which is restricted in the UK under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

In a more favourable story for dogs, the Daily Star says that "wives and girlfriends" prefer canines to human men. The paper suggests this is because dogs are more dependable and "less whiffy".

Several papers speculate that Sir Keir Starmer, who is to meet President Trump on Thursday, could announce an increase in defence spending soon. The Sunday Times says Britain's ambassador to the US, Lord Mandelson, has advised ministers to set a firm deadline for the increase.

The Sunday Telegraph says the prime minister is weighing up the possibility of raising military spending from 2.3% to 2.5% of Britain's economic output, by the end of the decade. The paper says he will tell President Trump that the UK is ready to "step up" and play a greater role in ensuring Europe bankrolls its own security.

Writing in the Telegraph, the former head of the civil service, Simon Case, says the PM, and one or two other European leaders, have an opportunity to help set "desperately-needed new contours in European security within Nato."

According to the Sun on Sunday, Sir Keir will be walking a tightrope on his visit to Washington DC. In an editorial, the paper says he must convince the US president to maintain America's security guarantee to Nato, because anything else would mean that ending one conflict only lights the fuse for another.

The Observer says the meeting at the White House is likely to be the biggest test of Sir Keir's diplomatic and negotiating skills in his prime ministership so far, as he tries to retain good relations with Mr Trump, while making clear the UK and Europe's red lines on Ukraine and Russia.

The paper says the PM has been advised to be very clear and very brief, because the president "gets bored very easily" and when he thinks someone is being boring he "just tunes out."

The Sunday Express highlights a call by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch on the government to increase the military budget by re-directing some of the money that is currently spent on welfare and foreign aid. In an editorial, the paper backs her proposal and says "complacency in the face of clear and present danger is tantamount to treachery."

A report in the Mail on Sunday says Sir Keir will present the US president with an invitation to come to the UK on a state visit. The paper says that would include an address to MPs and peers, which was blocked during the president's first state visit, by the then Commons' speaker, John Bercow.

According to the Times, BBC executives will hold talks to find out how the corporation came to broadcast a Gaza documentary fronted by a boy with links to Hamas. The film followed the lives of four young people during the war, and it is claimed one of them was the son of the deputy minister of agriculture in the Hamas-run government.

And finally, a warning in the Sunday Mirror that a new breed of dangerous dogs is flooding into the UK. The paper says the fighting dogs, known as Bully Kuttas, or Pakistani mastiffs, can grow to the size of a small pony and weight up to 95 kilos.

One woman who was attacked by a Bully Kutta tells the paper her wound required 84 stitches and two follow-up surgeries, and describes the dogs as "trophies for violent individuals."
