'Business blames budget' and 'UK economy takes hit'

The Daily Telegraph's lead says Donald Trump is considering sanctions against the International Criminal Court, in response to its arrest warrant for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The paper's editorial column is troubled by the ICC's decision, taken on the basis that Israel might have committed war crimes in its conflict with Hamas. The Telegraph argues that it "raises worrying questions" for other democratic countries, including the UK, which could find themselves engaged in war.

But the Guardian has no such reservations. Under the headline "accountability for war crimes is necessary for meaningful global justice", it suggests the move ends what the paper describes as "decades of impunity" for Israel's leadership. And it describes the issuing of the warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant as a signal that "even the most powerful nations must answer for breaches of humanitarian law".

"Private sector shrinks after Labour Budget" is the Daily Mail headline. The paper says that more than 80 retail bosses have written to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, warning that her decision to raise employers' National Insurance contributions "will cost jobs and lower wages".

The i Weekend warns that there's been a "surge" in hospital admissions involving people who've had negative reactions to weight-loss drugs. It reports there's been a surge in the number bought online, adding that there have been nearly 15,000 "adverse reactions" linked to the injections, according to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. The paper says experts are particularly worried about black market jabs, sometimes sold on social media.

"King to tour India" is the Daily Mirror's lead, reporting that such a trip is a sign that his recovery from cancer is "going well". The paper quotes an unnamed royal source, saying that a tour of the Indian subcontinent will be "of huge political and cultural significance for Britain on the world stage".

The Sun has the Princess of Wales on its front page. It says Kate has invited survivors of the Southport mass stabbing - and the families of those who died - to her Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey. The headline is: "Kate's gift of love".

Finally, the Times pops the cork on the return of a wine craze that "readers of a certain vintage" will remember. In the 1970s and 1980s, fans of Beaujolais Nouveau, believed to be the world's most rapidly bottled and drunk wine, would rush to bring the latest vintage to the UK from France.

But over the years "Beaujolais Nouveau Day" fell out of favour. The paper reports that it's making a comeback, as connoisseurs learn to appreciate the wine's "light and fruity" qualities.
