Good morning, Scotland. What do the papers have for us today?
Kicking off a slow news day, the Daily Star has gone with a tabloid classic and reported on what the weather might be in a bit.
An actualy summer would be nice for a change though...
Meanwhile, the Scottish Daily Mail continues its campaign of sensationalising transgender people.
Here's a statistic that you likely won't read in this article: according to a report, when parents don't accept the gender of their children, those kids become thirteen times more likely to commit suicide.
The Scotsman has led with warnings over bank closures.
The i has chosen to focus on Theresa May's failure to support abortion reform for Northern Ireland, lest she upset her DUP allies.
I guess that women in Northern Ireland will be the ones paying to prop up this Conservative Government.
Meanwhile The Herald have led with reports of staff shortages within the NHS.
And finally, The National, which leads with news that the author of the Growth Commission believes remaining in the EU is right for Scotland.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
