Star
Image caption The Daily Star on Sunday leads with an interview with the brother of Stephen Lawrence - the 18-year-old murdered in south London 25 years ago. On the anniversary of the attack, Stuart Lawrence says he still lives in fear of his brother's killers and "worries" the gang knows where he lives.
Telegraph
Image caption Facebook has been given one week to explain what action it is taking on cutting under-age use, before the government acts, according to the Sunday Telegraph. The paper says the government is considering new laws to punish social networks that allow breaches of their age policy.
Express
Image caption The Sunday Express leads with the same story, claiming Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is "furious" with internet giants "turning a blind eye to children being harmed". The paper reports that he has written to each of them demanding answers by the end of the month.
The Guardian
Image caption A letter leaked to the Observer raises concerns that new rules making people prove their identity before they vote could risk disenfranchising members of ethnic minority communities. The Equality and Human Rights Commission wrote to Cabinet Office minister David Lidington, saying it felt the measure would deter immigrants and others from participating in elections.
The Times
Image caption The Sunday Times claims Conservative MP Charlie Elphicke has had an allegation of rape made against him - but five months later the Met Police are still to question him over it. The paper reports that a woman reported the allegation in November last year. But despite the force questioning Mr Elphicke under caution last month over allegations of sexual touching, police never raised the rape allegation. His lawyer said if a "credible allegation" had been made, it would be "inconceivable" that police would not have questioned him by now. The MP denies all wrongdoing.
Mail on Sunday
Image caption The Mail on Sunday reports that Meghan Markle's uncle is upset after not receiving an invitation to her upcoming wedding. Michael Markle told the paper that the "snub" by Prince Harry's fiancee was "uncalled for".
People
Image caption The Sunday People has a blurred out picture of a man on the front page, asking whether he could be the person responsible for poisoning Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury. The paper claims he has links to the KGB.

On the 25th anniversary of Stephen Lawrence's murder, the Daily Star on Sunday leads with an interview with his brother.

Stuart Lawrence tells the paper that he still lives in fear of his brother's killers and worries that the gang knows where he lives.

Moves to force social media firms to act to protect children online are the lead story for the Sunday Telegraph and the Sunday Express, with the latter's headline saying: "Time's Up for Immoral Web Giants".

The Sun on Sunday says that children aged five to 16 spend an average of six-and-a-half hours a day in front of a screen, and that three in four children aged 10 to 12 have social media accounts - despite many sites having an age requirement of 13.

The paper adds that parents in Taiwan face fines of up to £1,000 if their children stay online too long.

Voter ID

The Observer suggests a "new race row" has erupted over plans to force voters to prove their identities at next month's local elections.

In a leaked letter to ministers, the Equality and Human Rights Commission is reported to have raised concerns that the proposal could exclude minorities and deter migrants from taking part in the democratic process.

Alluding to the Windrush scandal, the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn condemns the idea as "evidence of the kind of hostile environment Theresa May wants to create" for people choosing to settle in Britain.

The Cabinet Office insists it is the right approach to protect voting rights and no different from asking for ID to collect a parcel at the post office.

A senior cabinet figure tells the Sun on Sunday that ministers risk "wrecking Brexit" because they are too busy plotting to succeed Theresa May in order to stop their Remain-supporting colleagues from dictating the agenda.

The paper says that "top Tories... believe Boris Johnson, Michael Gove and Andrea Leadsom need to get out and make the case" for leaving the customs union.

Poisoning suspect

The Sunday Mirror and the Sunday People put a name - and a pixelated face - to the Russian assassin said to be suspected of carrying out the Salisbury nerve agent attack.

The name of the 54-year-old former FSB spy is said to have emerged during the questioning of a KGB defector.

He describes the suspect as a "very intelligent, educated, ambitious and ruthless person", who holds a law degree and is known to have committed at least one assassination.

'Flood of departures'

"Cop Out" declares the Sunday Mirror, as Home Office data is said to reveal that record numbers of police officers are quitting.

Resignations have risen by almost 50% since 2010, the paper says, while one in eight officers is reported to want to leave within two years.

The "flood of departures" is blamed on real-terms pay cuts, combined with increasing workloads and a feeling of being undervalued.

Image caption The upcoming wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continues to make headlines

With the headline "Meghan Wedding Snub to Uncles", the Mail on Sunday carries an interview with a relative of the royal bride-to-be, who is said to be hurt at not being invited to next month's nuptials.

Michael Markle is left off the 600-person guest list, along with almost all of the actress's close relatives.

But the paper understands the celebrity vet who treated her dog, the Beckhams, and a former Miss World-turned Bollywood star will be at the wedding in Windsor.

Meanwhile, in the Sunday Mirror, a niece of Ms Markle warns her relatives they are "ripping the family apart" with their sniping and by "expecting handouts and favours".

Noel Rasmussen insists her aunt is "doing the best she can in the public eye" - and urges her family to get behind her.

Austin Powers actor tributes

Several news sites carry tributes to the actor, Verne Troyer, following his death at the age of 49.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, his co-star in Austin Powers, Mike Myers, remembers him as "the consummate professional and a beacon of positivity" who will be greatly missed.

The same website recalls an interview Verne Troyer gave in 2016, in which he spoke of the difficulties of finding acting work and described turning down a role as a superhero who "came out to save lives... from under Abraham Lincoln's hat".
