The Daily Telegraph zeroes in on an exchange in which Corbyn does not say definitively whether or not he would authorise drone strikes in Syria if doing so could prevent a Manchester-style terror plot in the UK.
May also faced tough questions, particularly on social care, but the Prime Minister will be hoping that her tough talk on Brexit will reassure voters unsettled by her party's domestic policies, says The Times.
Several papers lead with the tragedy at Hamerton Zoo Park, near Cambridge, in which zookeeper Rosa King died after being attacked by a tiger in what is being called a "freak accident".
The Daily Mail quotes an eyewitness who says that King had entered the enclosure to come to the aid of a colleague who was shouting for help and that other zookeepers had tried to distract the animal with pieces of meat.
The Daily Mirror leads with the continuing investigation into last week's terror attack in Manchester, with a front page spread on the hunt for a suitcase carried by bomber Salman Abedi which detectives believe may hold vital clues.
Meanwhile, a new study has found that Theresa May's plan to cut net migration to the UK could leave more Brits out of work, The Independent reports.
The Financial Times leads with the news that US banks are withdrawing from the car loans market. The lenders reportedly fear that motorists have taken on more debt than they can repay and are wary of a repeat of the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008.
