Papers continue Muslim dress row

Version 0 of 1.

The on-going debate over whether Muslim women should wear a veil - which was sparked by Jack Straw - continues in Sunday's papers.

The Observer says British citizenship does not come with a dress code, but also defends the right of the leader of the Commons to voice his concern.

Mr Straw's intervention may have been politically motivated, says the Sunday Times, but there was a point to it.

And the Sunday Telegraph believes the reaction to Mr Straw was hysterical.

Knife search

The News of the World reports that schools are to be given sweeping powers to search pupils for knives.

It says heads will be allowed to search every student, even if they suspect just one of them is carrying a weapon.

The Mail on Sunday's main story is that Prince Harry will not be allowed to serve on the front line in Afghanistan.

It says although a formal decision has not been made, senior sources in his regiment say they believe the situation is too dangerous for him.

Beating baldness

Under the headline, Campbell Unspun, the Independent on Sunday carries an interview with former spin doctor Alastair Campbell.

He discloses that he struggled with depression while at Number 10, and talks about what he calls his nightmare over the suicide of Dr David Kelly.

The Sunday Times reports that the government is to invest nearly Â£2m to develop an effective baldness treatment.

It says a remedy could make Britain the world leader in baldness expertise.

Reacting to rivalry

The Observer reports that Rupert Murdoch has revealed how he responds to the extent of the rivalry between the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

In an American magazine interview, he said he cannot meet one unless he also sees the other when he visits London.

He tells The New Yorker that both usually invite him for a cup of tea.

He says: "You have to be careful to have a cup of tea with them both, or they are very suspicious that you are lining up with the other one."
