Image captionThe Daily Mirror is among the papers to pay tribute to Saskia Jones, 23, who was the second victim of Friday's London Bridge attack to be named. It says she and Jack Merritt, 25, were "failed by a cash-strapped, broken justice system".Image captionThe Sun says the victims "dedicated their lives to combating the poison of violence and hatred".Image captionThe victims died "trying to improve peoples' lives", says the Metro.Image captionThe Daily Telegraph reports that a "close associate" of London Bridge attacker Usman Khan - who it names as Nazam Hussain, 34 - has been "arrested and recalled to jail" on "suspicion of preparing terrorist acts". It says the arrest was not linked to Friday's attack and that "a number" of convicted terrorists are expected to be sent back "in the coming days".Image captionThe Times also claims that Mr Hussain was arrested, and notes that he was jailed alongside Khan in 2012, and whose family, it reports, came from the same village in Kashmir. The paper also reports that Khan was freed "despite being assessed as posing a risk of serious harm to the public".Image captionThe Daily Mail also splashes on the claim about Mr Hussain, who it reports was detained "just hours" after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a review of the licence conditions of convicted terrorists. "His arrest means new offences were allegedly discovered within hours of the review being demanded," the paper reports.Image captionThe Express simply reports that a 34-year-old man was detained in Stoke-on-Trent - Khan's hometown. It describes Jones as a "justice crusader".Image captionMr Johnson has been accused of "twisting the facts" and turning the attack into an election issue, the Guardian reports. The paper claims the Tories "sought to push a perceived advantage" by promising an end to early release for convicted terrorists.Image captionThe Financial Times leads on plans laid out by the boss of hedge fund TCI to punish directors of companies that don't disclose their carbon dioxide emissions. It says the move "underlines rising investor concerns over climate change and the pressure on boardrooms to respond".Image captionMeanwhile, the Daily Star splashes on weather warnings that an "Arctic bubble" could cause "travel chaos" in the UK.

The repercussions of Friday's terror attack on London Bridge continue to dominate Monday's front pages.

Spy chiefs are on the alert for "copycat" attacks, according to the Times. It is one of several papers to report the arrest of a man described as an "associate" of the London Bridge killer.

It says that after Usman Khan's success in deceiving the authorities into thinking he was deradicalised, police and intelligence services are scrutinising other members of his extremist network in case they try to emulate him.

The Daily Telegraph says the new arrest could be the first of "a number" of convicted terrorists to be returned to prison after a review was ordered into 74 people granted early release.

Both the Daily Mail and the Daily Express describe the move as "a blitz on freed jihadis". The Mail believes the arrest means new offences may have been discovered "within hours" of the review getting under way.

The Guardian says Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been accused of "twisting the facts" in the London Bridge attack in an attempt to turn it into an election issue after he blamed Labour for the release of the terrorist.

The paper says his comments came despite the family of one of the victims, Jack Merritt, saying they did not want the murder of their son exploited.

HuffPost UK agrees that the prime minister is facing claims of ignoring the wishes of the victim's family for political gain.

Most of the papers carry the same photo of Saskia Jones - the second victim to be named - smiling and holding a drink.

The Daily Mirror calls her "brilliant and kind" but believes she and Jack Merritt were failed by a "cash-strapped broken justice system".

The headline in the i also refers to both victims, reading: "they always saw the best in people".

According to the Metro's headline, they were "killed for caring".

The prime minister's interview with Andrew Marr features heavily among the sketch writers and editorials.

In the Guardian, John Crace describes Mr Johnson as a man who can only "talk in staccato bursts of white noise - an incoherent stream of unconsciousness designed to run down the clock in any public appearance".

Henry Deedes in the Daily Mail says "each time Marr tried to get a question in - almost begging on occasion - Boris shouted him down". He compares it to "Softy Walter versus Dennis the Menace".

The encounter was "scrappy, shouty and ill-tempered on both sides" according to Jane Merrick in the i.

The Sun calls the programme "farcical" and blames the interviewer for not allowing the prime minister to get "a word in edgeways". It captions its opinion piece "Marr's attacks".

Finally, the Times reports that readers are swapping their Kindles for headphones - with research suggesting sales of audiobooks are set to overtake ebooks.

The paper says spoken storytelling is enjoying a resurgence thanks to the increased sophistication of headphones and celebrity narrators, which allow readers to enjoy the content in unprecedented sound quality.

It adds that audiobooks are expected to generate £115m in the UK next year - up 30% on 2018. The most popular one this year was the Dickens' classic, David Copperfield read by actor Richard Armitage.
