Record divorce hits the headlines

A record £48m divorce settlement - the biggest in British legal history - dominates the day's papers.

Beverley Charman, the woman who was awarded the payout, tells The Times that she's not greedy.

She says the award marks the end of "an incredibly difficult and painful three and a half years".

The Daily Mail says her ex-husband John Charman thinks her share of his fortune is "grotesque and unfair".

He says he should be entitled to what he calls the lion's share.

The Daily Express says John Charman believed his original £20m offer to his ex-wife Beverley was more than enough.

As both The Times and the Daily Telegraph report, the judges who decided to award her £48m also urged a review of divorce laws.

According to the Telegraph they suggested that pre-nuptial agreements should become legally enforceable.

The paper suggests that the massive settlement means London is now seen as the divorce capital of the world.

Class warfare

Several papers report that the future of Celebrity Big Brother is in doubt.

It comes after the media regulator Ofcom ordered Channel Four to apologise over allegations of racist bullying towards Bollywood's Shilpa Shetty.

The Times says the programme's future is hanging in the balance, while The Mirror says plans for it are in chaos.

The Mirror says C4 bosses have thrown out plans to encourage class warfare by recruiting what it calls "extreme individuals".

'Throwaway society'

"Less than convincing" is The Guardian's verdict on Environment Secretary David Miliband's proposals to cut waste.

His ambitions, among them higher targets for recycling and composting, are, it reckons, right.

But it adds that their scope is far too modest to send out the message that the throwaway society has had its day.

The Mail says wheelie bins will have to have locks so that nobody can dump their waste in someone else's bin.

Happy Birthday

The Telegraph wishes great-grandmother Nellie Davies, who lives near Dover, a happy 100th birthday for 24 May.

It reveals that for the first time she celebrated her birthday on the correct day. She thought she was born on 2 May.

It was only when relatives checked her birth certificate so she would get a telegram from the Queen that they discovered the error.

As Mrs Davies puts it: "Mum and Dad must have got mixed up somewhere down the line..."
