'Never forget' and Pakistan 'vows to strike back'

The Daily Express is one of several newspapers to lead on the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. The paper speaks to a woman who is pictured on the front page as a small child standing in rubble and waving Union Jacks as part of the celebrations in 1945. It dedicates many pages to honour the significance of VE Day.

The Daily Mirror reprints a black and white cartoon from this day in 1945, stating "victory and peace in Europe". The paper reiterates a call from veterans for peace "in wartorn times".

The Daily Star also leads with VE Day commemorations, under the headline Never Forget. The paper has created a souvenir edition for its readers.

"Pakistan vows to strike back after Indian missile attacks kill dozens" states the Guardian, which reports on concerns about a possible escalation in the conflict. The paper has spoken to Pakistan's deputy prime minister Ishaq Dar who is quoted as saying his country would go to "any extent" to defend its dignity after the deadly air strikes.

The Financial Times also leads on mounting fears of war between India and Pakistan. The FT quotes Pakistan's PM Shehbaz Sharif as promising to "avenge every drop of blood".

Iranians 'plotted to attack Israeli embassy in London', states the Daily Mail's top story. It reports counter terror police "swooped" on Saturday to arrest four men. The paper says the plot could have resulted in the widespread loss of life.

"All migrants will have to be fluent in English", states the top story of the Times. The paper reports on reforms, which will be published in a white paper next week, to require people applying for a UK work visa to have English ability close to A-level standard.

The Daily Telegraph's headline states "£4m a day: True cost of housing migrants". The paper says costs have increased "threefold" as Channel crossings rise. It quotes official data as showing hotels and asylum accommodation last year cost £1.67bn. The Telegraph notes Sir Keir Starmer is facing pressure over Labour's immigration policy and the rise of Reform UK.

The One Direction star, Liam Payne, left a fortune worth £24m, reports the Metro. The paper notes the singer, who died in October, did not make a will so it is likely his eight-year-old son will inherit the bulk of the money, once expenses and debts are taken into account.

The Sun also leads with news of Liam Payne's "riches". It says the money is likely to be left in a trust for Bear, whose mother is the pop star, Cheryl Tweedy.

Several papers lead on the 80th anniversary of VE Day, with some publishing souvenir editions to mark the anniversary. "80 years of hope" says The I. The Telegraph shares some of the stories of those who celebrated in the streets on the 8th of May 1945, describing a "joyous" atmosphere as people kissed, hugged and cheered. The Daily Star's front page features a silhouette of the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square, with the headline "Never forget".

The front pages of the Guardian and the Financial Times both focus on Pakistan saying it will retaliate after India launched air strikes against its neighbour. The I also reports that world leaders are calling for restraint and that "emergency diplomacy" is taking place.

According to the Times, migrants applying to work in the UK will soon have "to be fluent in English". The paper says the measure will form part of the government's immigration reforms. The current standard, equivalent to knowing English as a foreign language at GCSE, is said to be "too basic" and is expected to be raised to something closer to A-level ability, the paper reports.

The Daily Telegraph says the Co-op is prioritising deliveries to its remote countryside shops as it works to minimise disruption caused by an ongoing cyber attack on the business. There have been reports that some of its stores across the Scottish isles have been running low on food supplies, after the Co-op had to switch off crucial systems which left the company struggling to manage deliveries. The retailer hasn't commented but has previously apologised to customers after revealing it had been hit by hackers.

Some of the papers report on a meeting between ministers and water firms yesterday to discuss the risk of England facing a drought this year, after the country experienced the driest start to Spring in almost seventy years. The I says the Environment Agency is closely monitoring the situation. The Times says water company chief executives are expected to meet again in July.

Striking photographs of cardinals gathered at the Vatican yesterday, preparing to choose the new pope, feature in almost all of the papers. But as the front page of the Guardian says, "the wait goes on", after plumes of black smoke were seen rising from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, signalling that the cardinals were unable to reach a decision on the first day.
