John Reid got more than he bargained for when he addressed an audience of Muslims, says the Times.

In the Daily Telegraph's words the shouting down by extremists was the furious face of Islam.

The question posed to the home secretary - "How dare you come to a Muslim area?" - is a sickening sentence, according to the Daily Star.

The Daily Express says the incident makes a mockery of the government's attempts to silence extremists.

Speed record

The horrific car accident involving TV's Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond is widely reported.

The Sun says he was testing the vehicle at 315mph for a new series of the programme when a tyre blew out.

The Daily Mail says he is believed to have been driving the car that set the land speed record six years ago.

The Mirror quotes a witness as saying: "The car turned over and over again."

African issues

Many pages of the Independent are given over to reports examining issues in Africa such as Aids and the challenges faced by women and children.

Giorgio Armani, Bill Gates and Arnold Schwarzenegger write for the paper and it interviews George Clooney who has campaigned over the crisis in Darfur.

Another Hollywood star, Richard Gere, is featured in the Guardian.

It says he hopes a film he is making will raise questions about why Balkan war criminals are still at large.

Bitter taste

The Mail says there is disappointment that an iconic British brand, Smarties, will no longer be made in the UK.

Food company Nestle has decided to switch production of the sweet from its factory in York to Germany.

The Mirror describes the move, which ends 70 years of manufacture in the UK, as a sad sign of the times.

The Express says the decision will leave such a bitter taste in the mouth that the UK public will be in no mood to eat Smarties produced in Europe.
