The Daily Mirror splashes on a striking image of a grandmother caring for her hungry great grandson in East Africa “in the grip of the worst drought since the 1984 famine”. A simple accompanying headline says “Please help us”. The paper’s chief reporter Andy Lines interviews the woman, who is called Rantilei and “aged about 90”, in Kenya and she tells him: “We have nothing to eat or drink.” The tabloid also pays tribute to Jerry Springer whom it hails the “talk show king”.
