What the papers say - March 29
A ruling to overturn the decision to release black cab rapist John Worboys from prison features prominently on the front pages on Thursday.
The Sun claims a double victory - for the victims who had sought justice, and for the freedom of the press.
The paper reports how three judges ruled the Parole Board decision failed to take into account dozens of suspected rapes for which Worboys was not prosecuted.

Mr Gauke himself also faced calls to resign, according to the Daily Telegraph, after victims accused him of a "disgusting" attempt to shift the blame.

The Daily Mail, meanwhile, raises questions over whether the parole system is fit for purpose, as it reports that ministers ordered an urgent review into recent decisions to release six other criminals from high-security prisons.
The paper also carries a photograph of Salisbury poison attack victim Yulia Skripal on its front page, after police revealed they suspect she and her father Sergei came into contact with the nerve agent on their front door.
