US President Donald Trump's outburst at Vladimir Putin is the lead in the Guardian after he expressed his anger on a US news broadcaster that the Russian president has failed to make progress towards a ceasefire with Ukraine.

The paper reveals that Finland has indicated it may have had a role in this latest intervention - after its President, Alexander Stubb, spent nine hours with Trump on Saturday during which time the pair won a golf competition together.

The paper's diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour, says Stubb suggested a deadline of 20 April for a ceasefire and during the round of "golf diplomacy" had got the sense that Trump was "losing patience" with Russia.

The Times leads with more details about the illegal migration summit being hosted by the prime minister on Monday. It reports that Sir Keir Starmer will say Britain will "pay" foreign prosecutors to hunt down people-smugglers across the world - and that he will announce funding for an "international" unit of the Crown Prosecution Service to target gangs using illegal routes into Europe and the UK.

The Telegraph reports that criminal suspects from ethnic minority backgrounds are being prioritised by judges considering bail, under guidelines from the Ministry of Justice.

The paper says courts are also asked to take account of the "trauma" suffered by suspects whose relatives experienced racism or discrimination. A ministry source tells the paper the guidance is a consolidation of previous versions dating back to 2016.

Further claims about the Duke of Sussex by the head of the Southern African charity he founded are on a number of the front pages. The Mirror reports Sophie Chandaukar as saying that a fundraiser was "wrecked" because Prince Harry wanted to film it for Netflix. The Mail reports that she said donors had "dropped their support" because of the Prince's reputation after he quit his royal duties.

Prince Harry has not commented directly on the claims but the Times says that sources close to him have described them as a "publicity stunt".

The Times reveals that there are a growing number of venues which are pulling in the punters serving ice cream and wine. The paper describes the pairing as an "unconventional" sip and serve which appeals to Gen Z-ers who are less interested in an old fashioned night out drinking.
