"Out of control" is the Sun's view of the Home Office and it says John Reid's honeymoon as its head is already over.  After the prison crisis and news that tagged criminals have offended again, it laments the fact two suspects under control orders are on the run. The Guardian quotes the Home Office as saying that the policing of control orders is a matter for enforcement agencies and not politicians.  The Times says Special Branch and MI5 fear one suspect may have left the UK. Killer jailed The Times and the Daily Telegraph are among papers featuring the smiling face of Joe Geeling, whose killer Michael Hamer has been jailed for life.  Hamer is pictured by the Sun which reports Joe's parents are angry his killer could seek parole in 12 years.  This case is also the main story for the Daily Mail which describes how the murderer, aged only 14 at the time, "hatched a chilling plot".  It reports how he forged a teacher's letter to lure his victim to his home. Act changes "Freedom of information won't be quite so free", says the Daily Mail as it considers changes to the act.  The Financial Times says a consultancy firm has put the cost of implementing the act at £36m a year.  The Independent lists a number of areas where it claims information is already being withheld.  It says these include the Iraq war, the cost of the Duchess of Cornwall's security and talks over the possible replacement of the Trident nuclear deterrent. Madonna's child What it calls the "morality tale" of Madonna's new child fills the front page of the Independent. "Another example of the overweening power of money and celebrity?" it asks "or a rare piece of good news from a land with a million orphans?"  Many papers picture 13-month-old David Banda being carried onto a plane for his flight to his new home, in London.  "Madonna's baby delivered" says the Daily Express, showing the baby being taken to the star's jet in Malawi. |
