A state of secrets is the headline in the Mail as the paper reports that
The number of Big Brother snooping missions by police, town halls and other public bodies has soared by 44 per cent in two years. One request is made every minute for officials to spy on someone's phone records or email accounts, new shock figures have revealed.
The Telegraph leads with the same story adding that
The figures will fuel concerns over the use of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act by public bodies.
The Independent leads with a story from Afghanistan in
the first ever unauthorised dispatch from an officer on the frontline, one young Captain offers a brutally honest account of life in Afghanistan, revealing the pain of losing comrades, the frustration at the lack of equipment, and the sense that the conflict seems unending and, at times, unwinnable
The Times looks at another theatre of warfare where
A British guard working for a security company inside Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone was arrested yesterday after two of his colleagues were killed and another wounded in a reported alcohol-fuelled rampage.
Almost 500 children were abducted from the UK and taken abroad illegally last year, according to figures released under the Freedom of Information Act. reports the Guardian adding that
