BBC injunction leads the papers

Sunday papers

Several of the papers focus on a story about the cash-for-honours affair which the BBC was prevented from broadcasting on Friday.

After an injunction was granted to the attorney general, the Sunday Express believes that the prospect of prosecutions is growing.

The Mail on Sunday leads with the story, under the headline: "Law chief wanted secret gag on the BBC."

It reveals that it has also been faced with the prospect of an injunction.

Teenage angst

The Sunday Times claims the Home Office is planning to fingerprint children aged 11 to 16.

The operation - which will involve nearly 300,000 youngsters - will start in 2010 when they apply for passports.

The Sunday Telegraph says the oft-heard cry from teenagers that their parents do not understand them is right.

It has seen a government-commissioned study which says that mothers and fathers should be taught how their offsprings' brains work.

Blair networking

Speaking to the Observer, Tony Blair apparently admits that he regrets the way his departure from office has created uncertainty for the government.

He says he has doubts over whether he did the right thing by announcing he would not fight a fourth election.

The Sunday Times says Tony Blair is to host a Downing Street reception to woo some of America's biggest billionaires.

It says the event will offer a key networking opportunity for him as he prepares for life after government.

Missing Grant?

The wedding celebrations of Liz Hurley and tycoon Arun Nayar give the tabloids plenty to write about.

The Mail on Sunday and Sunday Mirror reveal that Ms Hurley's former boyfriend Hugh Grant was on the guest list, but say he did not attend.

The Sunday Express begs to differ - it quotes a villager who says he saw the actor driving past and he "looked in a rush to get to the reception".

But all are agreed that the bride and groom looked "glamorous".
