Wednesday's papers


For the first day in quite a while,the papers move away from politics and a number concentrate on the Metropolitain police.

The Times reports that officers subjected suspects to waterboarding, according to allegations at the centre of a major anti-corruption inquiry, and adds that

The torture claims are part of a wide-ranging investigation which also includes accusations that officers fabricated evidence and stole suspects’ property.


The Mail says that

Most of the alleged victims are believed to have been foreign nationals detained in North London last year.


The Guardian leads with a green revolution in China,which it says is planning a vast increase in its use of wind and solar power over the next ­decade and believes it can match Europe by 2020, producing a fifth of its energy needs from renewable sources,

Meanwhile the Independent reports that a Two-year ordeal may soon be over for Bitish hostages in Iraq after the US military freed a senior Shia militia leader from prison.

The Telegraph chooses to stay with politics

Gordon Brown has been accused of suppressing a report of an investigation into whether the minister Shahid Malik broke the rules over parliamentary expenses, despite a promise to bring in a new era of "transparency" in politics.


Finally the Sun reports how a mother of six has ditched her kids and run off with her son’s 18 year old best pal.

Debbie Mallinson, 36, fled her council semi after telling her shocked children: “I can’t help who I fall in love with.”
