Stories about benefits lead some papers, with the Guardian reporting that up to 40,000 people - some facing eviction or forced to move to a smaller home - are due refunds after being wrongly identified as liable for the "bedroom tax". 
The Daily Mail reports that 33,000 people have had their benefits payments slashed since ministers imposed a cap on welfare payments. Some 59 households were claiming the equivalent of a £70,000 salary, it says. 
The i suggests that David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne have "fallen out" over the prime minister's promise to protect benefits for the richest pensioners, such as free bus passes and the winter fuel allowance. 
The elderly could miss out on medicines under guidelines being drawn up by drug approval body Nice, the Daily Telegraph says. Only drugs which helped those judged a benefit to wider society would be licensed for NHS use, it says. 
The Daily Express reports from court where, it says, a father of 22 children to 11 different women was spared jail after admitting drug offences after the judge was told he needed to be at home to care for his youngest child. 
The Daily Mirror carries the same story, using a large photograph of Raymond Hull, from Cumbria, with his youngest son, Barry. It says the 58-year-old told reporters he'd had his first child aged 16. 
The Independent claims that criminals have infiltrated Scotland Yard by bribing officers to get them information from confidential databases. It quotes a Met Police spokesman as saying the force is determined to pursue all corruption. 
Almost one in 10 babies and toddlers in England and Wales are Muslims, the Times reports, quoting one academic as saying it's not inconceivable that the number of Muslims could one day outnumber practising Christians. 
The Financial Times carries comments from European Central Bank president Mario Draghi warning that it's too early to declare the economic crisis over. The paper also reports the contrasting fortunes of some of Britain's biggest retailers. 
The Sun claims Chelsea footballer John Terry has made a £10m profit on the sale of his nine-bed Surrey mansion. The paper claims he's been offered £16m for the home, bought for £1.8m in 2007 and refurbished at a cost of £4m.
