Tensions over the political situation in Ukraine continue to make headlines. The Guardian describes a "war of words" between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Barack Obama. 
The Times says a "swaggering" President Putin threatened to send troops further into Ukraine, interpreting this as a "warning shot" at the West. Russia and the US have entered a "bidding war" for Kiev's future loyalty, the paper says. 
The Independent also credits Mr Putin with a "confident performance" in front of the media but says there is no sign of a diplomatic solution. Its headline is a play on a Sound of Music lyric: "How do you solve a problem like Crimea?" 
But the Financial Times says Mr Putin appeared to "take a step back" from conflict, as Washington demanded he withdraw troops completely. It says the US warned it could isolate Russia "politically, economically and diplomatically". 
The day's other main story features in the Daily Mirror. It says Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell is to take a break from the show after ITV and the actor "mutually agreed" he should take time off to seek help for "personal issues". 
The Daily Star says Le Vell's admission to using cocaine lay behind the move. The actor, who plays Kevin Webster, had told the Sunday Mirror he used drugs during his trial last year on child sex charges. He was cleared of 12 offences. 
Meditation, talking therapy and counselling could be as effective in treating arthritis as anti-inflammatory drugs, reports the Daily Express. The paper says researchers made the claims after studying how the brain processes pain. 
Eating too much protein in middle age could be as dangerous as smoking, the Daily Telegraph reports. It says research showed adults with diets high in animal protein were four times more likely to die of cancer than other people. 
The i's front page also relates to diet concerns, this time with sugar. It reports calls from the government's chief medical officer for "some form of sugar tax" to be placed on foods to help curb obesity rates. 
The Daily Mail's front page asks why Downing Street revealed the arrest of one of David Cameron's aides on claims involving child abuse imagery only when approached by a reporter. No 10 says it doesn't comment on police inquiries. 
The Metro leads on a successful damages claim for unfair dismissal by five members of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary, an armed police force paid for by energy firms, who left their jobs saying they were too unfit to carry guns.
