Russian threats to blow up the "British Isles", the looming Stormont election and a support scheme for farmers are some of today's top stories in the national papers.

The Irish Times leads with calls from Taoiseach Micheál Martin for the DUP to return to Stormont following Thursday's election. The party previously said its members would not return to the Assembly until their concerns over the Northern Ireland Protocol are addressed.

The Examiner also reads: 'Cost of college reforms to be on taxpayer', as part of plans being brought to Cabinet by Minister for Higher Education Simon Harris, which aims to reduce third-level fees and overhaul the student grant scheme.

The Echo, meanwhile, carries a story of a mother in Co Cork, sharing her son's experience with the "completely over-stretched and understaffed" Child and Adult Mental Health Services (Camhs).
