How global newspapers reacted to the General Election hung parliament

Theresa May has said she will form a government with the support of the Democratic Unionists (DUP) after her snap election call spectacularly backfired.

The Conservatives, who remain the largest party with 318 seats, lost their majority on a night full of shocks when Labour made the largest gains.
