Two newspapers have published front page apologies for articles about the parents of missing Madeleine McCann. The Daily Express and Daily Star, both published by Express Newspapers, have also agreed to pay a "very substantial" sum to the Find Madeleine fund. The apology is understood to relate to articles published about Kate and Gerry McCann in the two daily newspapers, the Sunday Express and the Star on Sunday. The apology says that the newspapers now recognise the pair are "completely innocent of any involvement in their daughter's disappearance".
However, many of today's tabloids look at the criticism of Heather Mills made by the judge in her and Sir Paul McCartney's divorce case.

The Express goes further and says the judge described some of Mills' evidence as "inaccurate, less than candid, underhand, distasteful, devoid of reality".
The Daily Mirror also goes to town with its coverage: under the heading "Lady Liar", it prints no less than six quotes of Sir Hugh's verdict.
The Daily Mail goes along with the other papers in printing a less than flattering picture of the ex-model alongside a story saying Heather's reputation was "shredded" as the judge said that "she tried to defraud Paul of £½m".
The Independent also looks at the legacy of the Iraq war refering to "the lessons we never learn from history".
