What the papers say

Journalist Fionola Meredith takes a look at what is making the headlines on Tuesday.

The "battle to keep Ulster's secrets" - that's the front-page headline in the Guardian on Tuesday.

The paper reports that MI5 and the Ministry of Defence are demanding the return of secret documents from the Stevens inquiry.

The paper claims they're looking for the papers ahead of four key inquiries "which are expected to expose the full extent of security force collusion with loyalist paramilitaries".

And it alleges that some documents already returned have been shredded: "As a result, officers involved in the Stevens inquiry have apparently begun making copies of all important secret documents, to stop crucial evidence being lost."

Sources within the inquiry have told the Guardian that pressure on them to return confidential papers is growing as the full hearings approach - the inquiry into the murder of Billy Wright begins on 30 May.

There's a sunlit shot of the freed Navy captive, Faye Turney, kissing her little girl on the front of the Sun on Tuesday.

In the latest installment of her account, Leading Seaman Turney describes her joyful reunion with her family.

The navy may no longer rule the waves, but it waives the rules when it sees the glint of money Siomon Jenkins, the Guardian

She adds that she will donate some of her payment for the story to the HMS Cornwall benevolent fund, and put the rest in a trust fund for her daughter.

The paper describes it as "the interview everyone is talking about".

They certainly are - but there's little approval for the former captives spilling the beans.

The Times leads with a front page report on the protests which have forced a government U-turn on any of the other Royal Marines and sailors held captive selling their stories.

As anger mounted from victims' families, military figures and politicians of all parties, Defence Secretary Des Browne reversed the decision to allow the captives to profit from their ordeal.

Simon Jenkins in the Guardian says: "The navy may no longer rule the waves, but it waives the rules when it sees the glint of money".

Closer to home, the Irish News reports that an expected statement from the UVF, outlining its "future intent" will stop short of imminent plans to decommission any of its weapons.

The paper welcomes the possibility that the UVF is preparing to "stand down" its members.

But it calls for all loyalist groupings to get rid of their arms, urging them to "go the whole way and decommission now".

Dickensian housing

Dickensian housing conditions in south Belfast have the Belfast Telegraph asking readers - would you live in a house like this?

The paper says that some homes in the Village area have no heating, no inside toilet, no bathroom and no hot water.

Community workers say that some pensioners have been forced to use the facilities at a nearby leisure centre, just to be able to wash.

And finally, the Times has a big question for readers: are you surfing away your life on random internet searches?

If so, you're a Wilfer - short for "what was I looking for". But don't worry, you're not alone.

A new survey shows that millions of Britons are wasting swathes of their lives pottering around on the web without any real purpose.

One in four internet users spends nearly a third of internet time Wilfing. And, what do you know, men are more likely to be Wilfers than women.

Still, there is a cure. In China, where internet addiction is rife, hardcore Wilfers are offered drug therapy, acupuncture and mild electric shock treatment.
