The Daily Telegraph finds it refreshing that Tory leader David Cameron has acknowledged there is a problem with UK children without pretending to know a solution.

The paper says most young men have a tendency towards violence which has to be constrained.

The Sun claims it was common knowledge among lads in Clapham that murdered Billy Cox, 15, was part of a gang.

The Guardian says that, despite the shootings of the last fortnight, London gun crime fell 14% last year.

Royal deployment?

"Harry to fight in Iraq," reads the headline in the Daily Mirror.

The paper claims Prince Harry, 22, will head for Basra with the Blues and Royals within days and then be deployed along the border with Iran.

An unnamed "senior military source" is quoted as saying the prince is "definitely going" to Iraq and "will see action".

The Ministry of Defence, meanwhile, issued a statement last night describing the report as "speculation".

'Bionic eye'

The Times and the Telegraph say US doctors have developed a treatment which gave limited sight to sufferers of eye disorder retinitis pigmentosa.

Along with other papers, they talk of a "bionic eye" which can restore sight and say it could be commercially available within two years.

Another medical development features on the front page of the Independent.

It says London scientists think they have found a method for encouraging damaged hearts to repair themselves.

Bed found

The Daily Mail tells how a woman in labour rang Solihull Hospital only to be told the maternity unit was full.

She explained she was having three contractions every ten minutes but says the reply came: "What do you want me to do about it?"

Gail Jordan and her husband eventually found a bed at Warwick Hospital.

A spokesman for Solihull told the Mail "that's not the way we operate" and said the hospital was trying to identify who spoke to Mrs Jordan.
