Version 0 of 1.

"Terminal illness" is one of the headlines featured as the papers pick over the first day of business for Heathrow airport's Terminal Five.

The Daily Mail calls the axed check-ins, lost bags and cancelled flights a "public shambles".

And the Times predicts that people going on holiday this weekend will face further chaos.

Of the two Financial Times reporters who used T5, one lost his luggage and the other had his flight cancelled.

Media darling

As French President Nicolas Sarkozy heads home the leader writers try to decide what was achieved by his visit.

The Guardian thinks it marked a new high in the Anglo-French relationship but wonders if the mood can last.

The Independent says rather than questioning Mr Sarkozy's intentions we should ask if Gordon Brown can keep his promise and become a "better European".

But for the second day the real darling of the press is Carla Bruni Sarkozy, who features on most front pages.

Gloom

The decision by the Nationwide Building Society and other leading mortgage lenders to put up their rates is front page news for the Financial Times.

The Daily Express believes it is absurd it is making mortgages more expensive to make itself less competitive.

Meanwhile the Daily Mail says the decision shows the Bank of England has now lost control of the system.

The Daily Telegraph publishes a poll suggesting gloom about the economy is driving voters away from Labour.

'Abysmal parenting'

The Independent leads with an open letter from 17 members of the House of Lords, calling for a moratorium on deportations to Iran.

Signatories including David Steel, David Puttnam, and Helena Kennedy.

Meanwhile the Sun says abysmal parenting and cheap booze are the two chief causes of the yob culture.

The Mirror argues strong drink is too readily available to young people, and the Telegraph says concern about the UK's youth has spread around the world.
