Images illustrating two news events - storms battering Britain and Liz Hurley's denial of an affair with Bill Clinton - dominate front pages. The Daily Star has both, picturing a huge wave in Dorset it says looks like "a sinister human face".
The Metro leads on the Hurley story, saying the actress tweeted that the claims were "ludicrously silly", in response to a tape posted online of her ex-boyfriend Tom Sizemore claiming she had a year-long fling with the former US president.
The Sun reworks Clinton's famous denial of his affair with intern Monica Lewinski, by interpreting Hurley's statement with the headline: "I did NOT have sexual relations with that man."
The Daily Mirror uses a similar headline, along with a large photograph of Clinton and Hurley together at a costume ball in Russia in 2005. It says Sizemore had claimed Clinton once said he'd send a plane to fly Hurley to the White House.
The Daily Telegraph uses a striking image of waves engulfing a church in Cornwall. It leads with claims from a think tank that increasing taxes on Britain's highest earners could lead to shrinking tax revenue in the longer term.
The Times carries a dramatic photograph of the London-to-Penzanze railway line "hanging in mid-air" after waves washed away the seafront in Devon. The paper says Britain's first prosecution for female genital mutilation will start soon.
The i captures the scene of mangled tracks in Dawlish from a different angle. Its lead quotes Lib Dem Schools Minister David Laws saying education watchdog Ofsted should have the power to inspect the Conservatives' flagship academies.
The Independent says Mr Laws' demands amount to a "new rift" in the coalition. It says he wants reform to prevent cabinet ministers like his boss, Tory Education Secretary Michael Gove, appointing political allies to key posts.
Eating a pot of yoghurt every day could ward off diabetes, according to the front page of the Daily Express. It cites research suggesting that low-fat dairy products reduce the chance of developing type two diabetes by 28%.
On the eve of the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Sochi, more than 200 prominent international authors have denounced the "chokehole" Russia's "anti-gay" and blasphemy laws place on freedom of expression, says the Guardian.
