'Hope in Gaza' and 'Live forever in our hearts, Ricky'

 "Israel begins Gaza retreat."

Several of Saturday's papers lead with the beginning of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The Times reports that an initial withdrawal by Israel triggered thousands of Palestinians to begin "trekking home". It adds that US President Donald Trump gave a personal guarantee to Hamas that he would not let Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu break the "fragile ceasefire".

 "Palestinians in long walk to uncertainty as ceasefire starts."

The Guardian also leads with the return of Palestinians to "the ruins of their homes" after the ceasefire came into effect, "the first relief from relentless violence since March". The agreement has "raised hopes of a durable end to the two-year conflict", the paper reports, though all parties recognise there are challenges ahead.

 "Hope in Gaza."

"Hope in Gaza" is the headline for the i Paper, which also features a photo of Palestinians returning to their homes through a "devastated landscape". Netanyahu warns that Israeli forces remain in parts of Gaza over fears "Hamas will regroup", the paper reports.

 "Trump reignited China trade war."

Palestinians trekking home also features on the front page of the Financial Times, but the paper leads with threats from Trump that he will cancel an upcoming meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. After Beijing imposed export controls on critical minerals, Trump threatened to impose additional tariffs of 100% on Chinese exports to the US, adding Beijing had become "very hostile".

 "The 'China spy' in my office, by top tory."

Conservative politician Alicia Kearns fears "she was secretly filmed or bugged" in a hotel room by Beijing, in an exclusive for the Daily Mail. The paper reports that Christopher Cash, a British man who was accused of spying for China, was at the "heart of government policy on China". Charges against Cash - who denies the allegations - were dropped by prosecutors last month.

 "Live forever in our hearts, Ricky."

Oasis member Liam Gallagher was one of the attendees to offer a "farewell kiss" to boxer Ricky Hatton, whose funeral took place on Friday, the Sun reports. Thousands lined Manchester streets to pay their respects to "Hitman" Hatton, who died last month aged 46.

 "You live forever in our hearts."

Wayne Rooney and Claire Sweeney were among the other "tearful mourners" at Hatton's funeral, the Daily Star reports. "You live forever in our hearts," is their headline.

 "A champ to us all..."

The Daily Mirror also leads with the funeral of Hatton, whom the paper describes as "boxing's humble hero".

 "2.5 million Britons now on fat jabs."

Weight loss jabs are being used by 2.5 million people in the UK, the Telegraph reports. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has pledged to make the jabs free on the NHS, but "tight rationing" means more are purchasing them privately, with sales rising sevenfold in one year.

 "William's call to tackle this 'preventable tragedy'."

The Prince of Wales fought back tears as he listened to the story of Rhian Mannings, a woman whose husband died by suicide, the Daily Express reports. Prince William pledged £1m in support for a new National Suicide Prevention Network, as he said: "The best way to prevent suicide is to talk about it."
