IN THE PAPERS
By Aurore Cloe DUPUIS

 

 
The British tabloid The Sun expresses an anti-European opinion.
 
 
According to The Sun, Britain has been “kicked in the teeth” as the Labour Party reportedly promised Brits to hold a referendum on the issue but failed to do so.
 
 
The International Herald Tribune reports on the story with a different angle.  “Historic overhaul cleared for Europe”, reads the title.
 
The paper describes it as a “landmark agreement” that will allow Europe to have a bigger role on the international scene.
 
 
Meanwhile, the European Court of Human Rights has rules that Crucifixes in Italian schools should be banned. The story is in most Italian papers, including Il Giornale and Il Mattino.
 
In other news, a Chinese “Gang godmother” has been sentenced to 18 years in prison.
And finally, we take a peak at the latest fashion trends. The Daily Mail reports that pointy bras are making a comeback.

The cost of an election campaign

François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy shook hands last night at a dinner for France's biggest Jewish lobbying organisation - but are their attempts to attract the Jewish electorate working? We also look at Eric Woerth - accused of illegal campaign financing - and how this year's candidates are paying for their campaigns.

'A Tale of Two Cities: Damascus and Homs'

Syria's still the focus for the international press: we look at testimony from those trapped in Homs, and ask what the West should do next. We also look at the fresh row over the Falklands - and how that's gone down with the press in Argentina.
