What the papers say - January 16
The collapse of Carillion, a court judgment on the death of Poppi Worthington and tributes to Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan all feature on the front of Tuesday's nationals.
Under the headline "Carillion's Gazillions", the Metro leads on the fall of the construction giant, saying thousands of jobs have been put at risk, with workers in schools, hospitals and prisons left "relying on the taxpayer to ensure they continue to be paid".
