Voices join to sing Live 8 praise

The papers are united in enthusiastic praise for Saturday's Live 8 concerts, described by the Sunday Telegraph as "the day music gave voice to hope".

"Job Done Sir Bob" is the verdict of the Sunday Express, in tribute to organiser Bob Geldof.

For the Sunday Times, the world rediscovered a voice for poor Africa in the "greatest comeback gig ever seen".

The Observer hails the event, staged in 10 countries, as "the day the world sang as one".

Climate change

Commentators hope the message of Live 8 will not be lost on G8 leaders as they prepare for the Gleneagles summit.

The Independent on Sunday says the star-studded concerts have catalysed huge public demand for action on poverty.

For the Mail on Sunday, it reminded the leaders they are ultimately accountable to those who elected them.

The Sunday Times reports on another key G8 issue, with hopes the US government will sign up to a statement admitting climate change to be a reality.

Bagpipes

The People captures the scale of Saturday's Make Poverty History demonstration in Edinburgh, with a full-page picture of the huge crowd.

The Independent describes the "roar" of bagpipes, drums, whistles, voices and feet as thousands joined the march.

Meanwhile, the Sunday Telegraph voices claims that Tony Blair is unhappy with his Home Secretary, Charles Clarke.

The report, denied by No 10, says the PM is unhappy with Mr Clarke's progress on ID cards and anti-social behaviour.

Venus

With the International Olympic Committee preparing to decide who will host the 2012 games, the papers report optimism about London's chances.

The Telegraph says Lord Coe and his team are increasingly confident they can leapfrog the Paris bid.

And the Observer claims support for the Paris bid is ebbing due to the perceived arrogance of its organisers.

Finally, Venus Williams' Wimbledon win captures headline writers' imagination - "Venus rises" hails the Sunday Times.
