Focus on Hillary's election bid

Sunday's papers Hillary Clinton features on the front pages of several papers after she announced she would be running for US president in 2008.

The Sunday Telegraph says she will be taking part in the most open presidential race for half a century.

The Sunday Times reports she has the money, recognition and glitz to make a great case to run the United States.

Mrs Clinton's video-taped website statement was described as a feisty start by the Independent On Sunday.

'Warfare'

Most of the papers devote space to the cash-for-honours inquiry after the arrest of Labour aide Ruth Turner.

The Sunday Telegraph reports that detectives "hacked" into Downing Street computers after becoming suspicious vital information was being withheld.

The Sunday Times says open warfare has broken out between Downing Street and the police after the arrest.

The Observer says the arrest has upped the stakes in the tense poker game between police and Downing Street.

'Bully'

Celebrity Big Brother evictee Jade Goody is still making headlines 24-hours after leaving the show.

The contestant, accused of racist comments, has been pouring her heart out to the News Of The World.

In what the paper claims is a world exclusive, Goody admits she made racist comments to Shilpa Shetty.

On its front page the Sunday Mirror runs an interview with Goody's grandmother who says her granddaughter is a racist and a bully.

Messages

The Sunday Telegraph reports that with Lent just around the corner the Church of England has come up with a list of daily tasks for worshippers.

They will be sent text messages urging them to hug people, offer more for goods in charity shops than necessary or leave money in shopping trolleys.

The Mail on Sunday reports the country's footballers are finding it tough tackling their mothers-in-law.

Apparently many are moving in next door to keep a closer eye on them.
