In a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian, the Tory leader says that many black church leaders have expressed the same anxiety to him, and that it is time for a "responsibility revolution" to change patterns of behaviour.

I mean I think it's a very brave thing to do. And it will have a huge influence that he has said it. I've had a number of meetings with black church leaders who make the same point. They are concerned about family breakdown and social breakdown, and want to see what I call a responsibility revolution take place."

Betrayed says the front of the Sun as it reports on the second day of the Ann Darwin trial

SOBBING Anne Darwin threw her arms around her son and wailed, “He’s gone, I think I’ve lost him” after her husband faked his death, a jury heard yesterday.
The Darwins’ sons Mark and Anthony told a court they were devastated by the apparent death of their father John in a canoeing accident.
But they were horrified when they saw the infamous photo of their parents together in Panama.
They realised that their dad was actually still alive – and their parents had betrayed them for almost six years to carry out a £250,000 insurance fraud.

The Mirror adds

Anthony told the jury he was so convinced his dad was dead he initially believed the picture of the pair smiling beside a Panama estate agent was a hoax.
He said: "My initial reaction was that it must have been two different photos.
"I thought there must be one of my mam and the other of my dad and they had been put together to make it look like a real photo."

The capture of the soldiers, Eldad Regev, 27, and Ehud Goldwasser, 32, two years ago sparked a month-long war in Lebanon that claimed nearly 1,200 lives. Although at first Israel hoped the reservists survived the ambush, it now believes both are dead. Their remains will be returned to Israel at 9am through the Rosh Hanikra crossing at the border in northern Israel
