CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Time now to check on what's making news -- what's making headlines, rather, overseas in this morning's 'Euro Edition.' Tony Campion live in London for us.
Good morning, Tony, what's on the front pages?

TONY CAMPION, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning to you, Carol.

Well, it's quite interesting what's on the front pages actually doesn't necessarily correspondent to what you might have thought. I know that you were sort of hoping to ask me about, you know, the sort of terror scares. You just mentioned the guy arrested in Gloucester.

It's a health story on the front page of the "Daily Mirror." This is typical of all of the papers here. You can see, look on page four, we have a picture of exactly that guy. His name is Sajid Badat. This is the fellow. And also, Richard Reid, he is accused of conspiring with the shoe-bomber. You know difficult for us to go into any more of the evidence what he did or didn't do, allegedly, because of the way that the British court reporting works.

But isn't it interesting on page four we have our first reference in "The Mail." And in many of the other papers, I have to say it's further down the running order as well, all of this sort of current anti-terror sentiment. You know you talked a little while ago about the fact the British bobbies are wearing guns. Well, yes, somewhere, but not everywhere, and people aren't talking about it on the streets.

And you know I was wondering if this had something to do with the fact that for decades we lived in fear of terror attacks from the IRA, the Irish Republican Army. And of course the situation in Northern Ireland is ongoing. That's another news story in itself. But at least there have been no terror attacks from that organization for many years on the mainland or none, certainly in fact there was one a couple of years ago. But there is nothing compared to what, for instance, I grew up with on the news every day for -- throughout the '70s and the '80s.

Interesting, isn't it, the sort of contrast in the perception of how these -- this anti-terrorism feeling is taken on your side of the Atlantic and on this side?

COSTELLO: It is. It's quite different and usually it's pretty much the same.

Tony Campion, live in London, many thanks.
