Tuesday's papers

The death of a healthy girl to swine flu makes the lead in a number of the papers this morning.

The Sun says that

Chloe Buckley, of West Drayton, Middx - who had seemed "perfectly healthy" - is said to have been diagnosed with tonsillitis.

The Mail adds that

On the same day, it was announced that Dr Michael Day, a 64-year-old GP who had been treating swine flu victims, had died after contracting the virus.

The Telegraph adds that

If they are found to have died of swine flu, rather than other underlying causes, it will take the number of deaths in healthy patients to three, after another person died on Friday.

According to the Times,

Gordon Brown rejected a recommendation by military chiefs to send 2,000 more troops to Afghanistan despite being warned that not doing so could jeopardise the mission against the Taleban,

,the paper adds that

This was the cheapest of four options put to No 10 and the Treasury by military chiefs in March as commanders in Helmand planned Operation Panther’s Claw.

The Guardian meanwhile claims that

Gordon Brown has told the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, to put more Afghan troops into Helmand province immediately to make sure the costly territorial gains made by UK forces are not lost and British soldiers do not die in vain.
