The Guardian leads on comments from Bank of England governor Mark Carney who's suggested that an independent Scotland would probably have to give up some of its powers for its plans to keep the pound to be viable. 
The Financial Times describes it as Mr Carney's first "intervention" on the subject, although it notes his insistence that it was a "technical" speech that avoided giving any opinion on whether the currency union was a good idea. 
However, the Daily Telegraph interprets things differently, saying the governor "devastated" independence campaigners' claims that Scotland could keep the pound and be fully independent. 
The i also interprets Mr Carney's comments as a "warning to Scotland", suggesting they must give up the freedom to tax and spend. It translates his message as: "Scots cannot keep the pound and have true independence." 
The Times says a think tank report on Labour's spending plans reveals the party intends to borrow £25bn more than the Conservatives after the next election, by excluding infrastructure and investment spending from deficit calculations. 
The Independent has a powerful image of a Palestinian man holding the corpse of a one-year-old child in a Syrian refugee camp. Its lead claims a UK firm will make £50m from a Maltese scheme to sell EU passports to rich immigrants. 
The Daily Mail declares "victory" in reporting that David Cameron has ordered rivers in flood-hit Somerset to be dredged, as it demanded. It leads on a Lords decision to back a "controversial" ban on smoking when children are in a car. 
Under the headline "Detention for all," the Sun reports that Conservatives are studying plans that would see children kept in school for nine hours a day, between 9am and 6pm, and for 45 weeks of the year. 
The Metro leads on the results of a survey suggesting that a fifth of Britons slip items they have not paid for into their bags at self-service checkouts, resulting in £1.7bn in losses for major stores. 
The Daily Express says detectives investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann are hunting three burglars who were close to the family's Portuguese holiday apartment when she went missing in 2007. 
The Daily Mirror claims doctors treating ex-Formula 1 star Michael Schumacher, who fell while skiing, have begun to wake him up from the coma he's been in for a month. His manager previously described the claims as speculation. 
The Daily Star announces Jim Davidson's victory in Channel 5 series Celebrity Big Brother with a play on the comic's catch phrase, using the headline: "Jim nick nicks it!"
