Two papers report on a suggestion that a senior Royal Navy officer should be dispatched to Tehran to try and secure the release of 15 captive UK military personnel.

The Sunday Telegraph says a captain or commodore would assure Iran that the Royal Navy would never knowingly enter its waters without permission.

However, this would not amount to an apology, the paper insists.

A Whitehall source tells the Sunday Mirror that someone with military expertise is needed for the task.

Almost every paper has its own theory about what caused the death of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer.

According to the Sunday Times, some of Britain's leading forensic pathologists doubt whether he was strangled, because there was no bruising on his neck.

The Mail on Sunday speculates that he fell after drinking a bottle of whisky, while the News of the World says he might have had a violent seizure brought on by natural causes.

The Sunday Mirror thinks Mr Woolmer was killed with a poison, aconite.

The Observer and the Independent on Sunday claim that new regulations will aim to curb the number of twins and triplets due to IVF treatment.

They say the fertility watchdog, the HFEA, is concerned that the high incidence of multiple births poses a health risk to babies and mothers.

It is reported to have suggested that most women who undergo IVF are given one embryo implant instead of two.

The HFEA says that no decision been taken at this stage.

April Fools Day offers the newspapers an opportunity to pull the legs of their readers.

The Observer reports that Tony Blair will turn to acting when he leaves Downing Street.

Apparently, he has been approached by Hollywood star Kevin Spacey, to star in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible.

There is also talk of roles in an Only Fools and Horses Christmas special and Doctor Who - as a PM who goes back in time to correct his mistakes.
