Burrell and Hain hit the headlines

Version 0 of 1.

An absurdity from the start is how the Guardian sums up the inquest into the death of Princess Diana.

The Daily Mail weighs in too - it believes Tuesday's proceedings descended into farce.

The Daily Express reports that Diana's former butler Paul Burrell was ordered to make a 400-mile round trip to obtain documents already in the public domain.

The Daily Mirror says Mr Burrell was savaged as his "secret" about Diana was exposed as no secret at all.

Minister's position

Several interpretations of the prime minister's use of the word incompetence about donations made to Peter Hain's deputy leadership campaign are offered.

The Daily Mail thinks it refers to the work and pensions secretary himself, but the Independent believes it was aimed at Mr Hain's campaign team.

The Times sees Gordon Brown's comments as shoring up his minister's position.

The Sun says Mr Hain suffered a fresh blow, with hundreds of thousands of NI numbers handed to illegal immigrants.

School rules

The Daily Telegraph is one of several papers to report that independent schools are to be made to admit more children from poor backgrounds.

Many private schools are registered charities and the new rules have been drawn up by the Charity Commission.

According to the Telegraph, schools could have their bank accounts frozen, trustees suspended or buildings closed.

The Daily Mail believes the answer is to improve bad schools - not cripple good ones.

Water levels

The Daily Mail runs a series of pictures of the latest flooding threat facing Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire.

One aerial shot shows parts of Tewkesbury marooned as water levels rise - six months after the town was inundated by the Severn and the Avon.

The Daily Express and the Times give front page coverage to the latest threat, with a picture of a couple in their flooded home in South Wales.

The Times writes of flood misery - and warns of more to come.
