The tensions between Russia and the international community continue to make headlines. The Times leads with a call by Barack Obama for Europe to hit Moscow with harder sanctions amid concerns Russia is poised to invade eastern Ukraine. 
The Daily Telegraph leads with comments from an interview with the former head of the Army Lord Dannatt. He suggests the UK should make a "military statement" to Russia by recruiting 3,000 extra soldiers to be based in Germany in a reversal of planned defence cuts. 
The Financial Times leads with the warning from Nato's top military commander that Russia was massing troops on Ukraine's eastern border. It comes ahead of the US president's visit to Europe to discuss the crisis. 
Labour leader Ed Miliband is facing questions about his party's strategic direction, reports the Guardian. It says a coalition of think tanks have urged him to adopt a "bold approach" when it comes to an election manifesto and not just target Tory unpopularity. 
The Daily Express leads with comments from an expert on ageing about the healthy lifestyle changes that can help beat dementia. It is among a number of front pages to feature a picture of Samantha Cameron in a red onesie at a Sport Relief charity run. 
Claims that UK-based jihadists back from fighting in Syria could be plotting to target the Queen at a race meeting, are the subject of the Daily Mirror's front page story. It says al-Qaeda leaders have also urged supporters to target football fans and tennis matches in "lone wolf" attacks. 
A Tory peer signed a contract to "make representations" to MPs on behalf of a Caribbean tax haven, reports the Independent. The peer tells the paper no rules were broken, he had not acted upon the contract and its assertion it had required him to carry out lobbying were wrong. 
Details about a secret memo referring to corruption by a number of police officers at Scotland Yard in the past is the subject of the Daily Mail's lead story. The paper says evidence from a three-year probe was "mysteriously shredded" in 2003. 
The i concentrates on claims made by the BBC's Panorama programme that fraud may be costing the NHS £5bn a year - more than 20 times official government estimates. 
The Sun also carries the NHS fraud story on its front page. Its lead story reports TV presenter Ant McPartlin and his mother were "roughed up" by yobs outside a pub in west London after he asked them to stop pestering him. 
A US study that suggests stress can more than double a woman's chance of becoming infertile is the lead story for the Metro. 
The Daily Star reports that Coronation Street actor Michael Le Vell has been told his future in the TV soap is safe despite claims about his private life that emerged in a Sunday paper.
