What the papers say

Journalist Grania McFadden takes a look at what is making the headlines in Monday's morning papers.

The smiling face of teenager John McCall features on the front page of the News Letter, which says his death has cast a long shadow over the world of sport.

Just 12 days ago, the 18-year-old captained Royal School Armagh to victory in the Schools' Cup.

The Irish News says he had a glittering career ahead of him.

His father has flown to Durban to bring his son's body home The Mirror

His death on a rugby pitch in South Africa is the second tragedy to strike Northern Ireland sport in recent weeks - earlier this month Tyrone GAA captain Cormac McAnallen died from a heart infection.

The Mirror speculates whether John was a victim of Sudden Death Syndrome - the umbrella term for causes of cardiac arrest in the young.

It says his father has flown to Durban to bring his son's body home.

The death of leading Orange Order member Harold Gracey from Portadown in County Armagh also makes headlines.

The Irish News reveals that his long-standing funeral wish - that his cortege passes down Portadown's Garvaghy Road - will not be fulfilled.

The mainly nationalist road has been the centre of a dispute over a contentious Orange Order parade along it.

'Previous owner'

The man who became a legend for his Drumcree protests will be buried from Seagoe Church, says the paper - and the cortege will not go anywhere near the Garvaghy Road.

Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble's weekend success in his party's leadership vote prompts comment from several papers.

Smoke spies will be mounting secret checks on pubs, to make sure they comply with the new laws Irish Independent

The Irish News says he is probably entitled to claim the title of "the greatest survivor of Irish politics" from its previous owner, Charles Haughey.

The News Letter says no party leader has suffered such a degree of internal mauling and survived.

It would be foolish to write off Mr Trimble - something the paper believes should be good for unionism as a whole.

There is only one main story in the Dublin papers.

It is "ashtrays to ashes", says the Irish Times, as the Republic of Ireland calls time on smoking in public places.

'Lighting up'

The Irish Independent reveals that smoke spies will be mounting secret checks on pubs, to make sure they comply with the new laws.

They will visit premises on a rota basis to make sure they are not recognised.

Employers who do not stop smokers lighting up in pubs face fines of up to 3,000 euros.

Israel's chief prosecutor has recommended that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon be charged with taking bribes The Independent

The Irish News says almost 20 health agencies in Northern Ireland have urged Health Minister Angela Smith to introduce a similar ban.

The call has been backed by the SDLP and Alliance parties.

But the News Letter says pubs in Northern Ireland are hoping to cash in on the ban, with border bars already reaping the benefit, as Irish drinkers head north to enjoy a cigarette with their drink.

The Daily Telegraph believes politicians throughout Europe will be watching the Irish experiment closely, and if there is little resistance, it believes it will not be long before there is a similar ban in Britain.

The Independent reports on turmoil in Israel, after the country's chief prosecutor recommended that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon be charged with taking bribes.

And the Express carries the cautionary tale of an 84-year-old grandmother who ran up debts of £30,000 on 20 different credit cards.

It says she suffered a stroke as the stress of her financial plight overwhelmed her.

No such problems for Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

The Star reports that he has overtaken singer Charlotte Church to become Britain's second richest teenager, just behind Prince Harry.

The 14-year-old has conjured up a cool £6m in just three years.

And with five of the seven Harry Potter films still to be released, those earnings could be the top of the iceberg.
