What the papers say

Journalist Finola Meredith takes a look at what is making the headlines in Tuesday's morning papers.

Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain "has his eye on a new job", according to the Guardian.

It says that Mr Hain is "emerging as the surprise front-runner in the undeclared contest to succeed the deputy leader, John Prescott".

The paper says that Mr Hain has not officially declared he will run.

But it claims that he has been "assiduously courting the unions" in the run-up to the conference season, and he "now has promises of support from the general secretaries of four of the five main Labour-affiliated unions".

The paper says that "with the election of Gordon Brown as leader regarded as a foregone conclusion, many party members see the contest for the deputy leadership as the fight most likely to provoke an internal debate about the party's direction".

The series of fatal mistakes that led to the deaths of two County Down fishermen last January is the top story in most of the local papers.

'Totally different focus'

Taking their lead from a new marine investigators' report, both the Irish News and News Letter focus on the fact that "the wheel of the trawler was left unmanned".

"It is a damning report," according to the News Letter, and one "which also shows that the men may have survived if they had been wearing lifejackets".

The Belfast Telegraph leads with that story too.

Inside, the paper takes a totally different focus.

It is concerned to find that "well-known high street stores in Belfast are selling dresses in an extra-tiny size four, the equivalent of the American size zero".

The paper reports that "there has already been huge demand for the waif-like size, especially among teenagers".

It says that "the emaciated look has been popularised by what's known as the 'Size Zero Club', a group of super-skinny LA celebrities".

However, according to GP David Haslam, the trend for young women to aspire to a size zero "lays the ground for eating disorders in schoolgirls".

'Sad moment'

Several papers report on a row between Mumsnet, the internet support site for mothers, and Gina Ford, the back-to-basics baby expert.

The Daily Telegraph reports that Ford, known as "the Queen of Routine", has demanded the closure of Mumsnet, claiming that "comments posted on the site amount to 'a gross personal attack' on her character and reputation".

Mumsnet is now asking its members to "stop discussing Ford and her methods on the site".

In a statement, Mumsnet said it was "a surreal and sad moment - a bit like barring discussion of Manchester United from a football phone-in".

Finally, the Daily Telegraph carries a front page report on a Chinese bar that actually allows customers to "attack staff, smash glasses and generally kick up a big fuss".

As the name suggests, the Rising Sun Anger Release Bar, in Nanjing, "allows stressed Chinese people to unleash pent-up rage".

It employs 20 beefy young men for customers to punch and scream at.

According to the paper, patrons can also "request waiters to dress up as their boss before beating them".

The landlord, Wu Gong, claims that "most of his customers are women".
