A long-awaited report on alleged Russian interference in British society will be published on Tuesday, more than a year after it was written. It's expected to outline the threat from Moscow - from espionage to subversion and assassination. 

The most anticipated section will cover interference in political events, including the Brexit referendum. Moscow's spy agencies are already known to have played a role in the 2016 US presidential election, but the Kremlin denies any UK electoral meddling. 

The document, compiled by the Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC), was held back by the government because of the general election in December, prompting accusations of a cover-up.

The report is expected to question whether enough has been done by successive governments to counter the threat from Moscow. Experts told the ISC that Russian money flowing into the UK, especially into the City of London, has created a rich and influential group who have constantly pushed to avoid a harder line being taken. BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera says the report may highlight the impact of political donations from Russia which could prove particularly controversial.

Almost 900,000 public sector workers, including doctors, teachers and police officers, are to get an above-inflation pay rise. The chancellor said the workers made a "vital contribution" to the country, particularly during the pandemic, and it was right to reward them. But Labour said the rises would not make up for years of real-terms cuts, and economists note that once inflation is stripped out, average pay for public sector workers remains below 2010 levels.

BBC business correspondent Dharshini David says extra cash in people's pockets will be welcome and could help stimulate consumer spending. However, tough questions will be asked about affordability given the pressure on budgets caused by coronavirus. Government departments won't get extra funding to pay for the rises.

Not all settlements will be UK-wide - our story has more detail.

Misleading and harmful online content about coronavirus has spread "virulently" because the UK still lacks a law to regulate social media. That's the verdict from an influential group of MPs, the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee. Rumours of fake cures, conspiracies about the virus origin and scaremongering about vaccines are all of particular concern.

The committee's chairman said tech firms couldn't be left to self-regulate and government recommendations to reduce harm, published last year, must be urgently implemented and enforced. They include a legal "duty of care" to force tech companies to protect their users. Children's charity the NSPCC welcomed the report, but Google and Facebook insist they have already invested in measures to tackle content that breaches their guidelines.

Most of Tuesday's papers celebrate the promising results coming from a coronavirus vaccine trial at Oxford University. "Vaccine for Christmas" the Daily Mail's upbeat headline declares, while the Metro describes the vaccine as "the Covid Buster". The Daily Mirror says the news will give a boost to a nation worn down by the pandemic. The Sun agrees, but adds that if the Oxford vaccine is proven to work, it must become "socially unacceptable" not to have it. The Financial Times points out that the UK has bought million of potential doses from overseas trials too as it seeks to hedge its bets. It adds that Health Secretary Matt Hancock said countries should avoid "narrow nationalism" in their pursuit of a vaccine. Elsewhere, the ongoing court case involving Johnny Depp also makes many front pages. The Times calls it the "biggest English libel trial of the 21st Century". And the Daily Telegraph, finally, leads with the soon-to-be-published Russia report. The paper claims it will reveal that Moscow tried to "influence" the result of the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, but not the Brexit vote.
