The Euro,three million snooping operations and the dangers of red meat-Friday's papers

Perhaps the Independent's headline makes the consequences of yesterday's Euro crisis clear.




Euro chaos-Britain prepares for the worst says its headline as it claims that we are drawing up plans to deal with the consequences of a possible collapse of the eurozone

G20 leaders, including David Cameron it adds, are contemplating a huge expansion of the International Monetary Fund to cope with the consequences if Greece were to leave the eurozone.

The Telegraph covers the same ground claiming that Britain is poised to provide billions for new rescue package as euro crisis deepens but adding that the Prime Minister will face strong opposition from Conservative MPs over the potential use of taxpayers’ money to assist European countries.

The Guardian writes that G20 countries are planning to increase the crisis-fighting firepower of the International Monetary Fund in the wake of yesterday's events whilst the Times believes that world leaders are preparing for the possible exit of Greece from the single currency.

In a sign of how perilous the debt crisis has become says the paper:

Jean-Claude Juncker, chairman of the eurozone finance ministers, admitted that there was detailed preparation had been made for a potential Greek departure — previously a taboo subject given that membership of the euro was meant to be legally irreversible.

Away from the Eurozone crisis,the Mail says that there is to be massive surge in intrusive surveillance by state snoopers

The paper reports that three million snooping operations have been carried out over the past decade under controversial anti-terror laws,and include tens of thousands of undercover missions by councils and other state bodies which are not responsible for law enforcement.

The Mirror leads with news that a Algerian terrorist given refugee status in Britain was last night banned from flying back here amid fears he was plotting a bloodbath.

Worried officials,say the paper, ordered airlines around the world to stop Algerian Reda Taher Nasouf boarding jets to the UK.

Another new thing to worry about in our diets if you believe the Express.Yes red meat and especially if overcooked.It is twice as likely to cause cancer than previously thought, scientists warned last night.

The Sun has an exclusive on the trials and tribulations of Spurs manager Harry Rednapp who tells the paper how he "struggled to breathe" during his heart scare.

'Arry, 64, needed heart surgery on dangerously narrowed arteries. But he said he is "OK" and promised to be back on the White Hart Lane touchline "in a couple of weeks"

Elsewhere in the papers,the Guardian follows up its lead yesterday reporting that Iran has warned the US not to set the two countries on a collision course over Tehran's nuclear enrichment programme.

David Cameron has concentrated too much on promoting policies that appeal to men and not women, according to a new group of Conservative MPs,says the Telegraph.

The Times reports that nurses will be amongst those striking as Hospitals, schools, benefits offices and driving centres face massive disruption on November 30 after Britain’s biggest public sector union Unison voted in favour of strike action over pension changes.

Meanwhile the Independent reveals that researchers have found that if you want to lose weight, a commercial company is more likely to help you shed the excess pounds than the NHS

Chaos in St Paul's and amongst the Greeks-Tuesday's papers

The Dean of St Paul's features on the front of many of the papers.

The Telegraph describes it as a national joke as it was plunged into disarray with the resignation of its dean amid mounting criticism of its handling of the protest camp on its doorstep.

The Times says that the Church of England was plunged into a crisis of leadership following the resignation adding that the Archbishop of Canterbury was facing criticism for his failure to intervene earlier in the protracted decision-making process over whether to evict demonstrators or to engage with them.

The protests outside St Paul's were knocked off the front pages by the latest from the Euro zone.The Guardian reporting that Greek prime minister, George Papandreou, stunned Europe's leaders after he proposed that his country should hold a referendum on the landmark European debt deal reached last week.

Meanwhile the Independent claims that the world faces many years of social unrest as its economies falter adding that

The international economy is on the brink of a deep new economic crisis that could cost millions of jobs.

The Mail adds that Europe's economic rescue package was in danger of collapse last night as Greece declared a shock referendum, Italy teetered on the brink of financial disaster and experts warned of a second recession and social unrest.

And there is more bad news in the FT which says that ministers fear the number of public-sector job losses will now be much larger than previously forecast

Away from the grim news,the Express reveals that the secret of what causes high blood pressure has been unlocked in a dramatic breakthrough that could save millions of lives every year.

Finally both the Mirror and the Sun feature celebrity,the Sun claims that X factor contestant Kitty Brucknell was suspected of racially abusing fellow singer Derry Mensah following a bust-up at a practice session.

Whilst the Mirror reports that former Spice Girl Mel B is furious at ex-husband Jimmy Gulzar after he allegedly held their daughter Phoenix Chi captive during a custody visit.

Euro crisis,secret reports on employment law,green cabinet splits and John Terry under fire-Wednesday's papers

Europe again makes the headlines this morning as the crisis in the Euro Zone intensifies.

According to the Times,thecomprehensive package to save the eurozone from collapse was unravelling last night, putting the single currency once again at the mercy of the markets.

The Guardian agrees adding that hopes that summits in Brussels would deliver a 'grand bargain' to bring an end to an 18-month sovereign debt crisis were fading fast.

The paper says that talks planned for this morning were cancelled, rumours surfaced of a collapse in Silvio Berlusconi's Italian government and the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, adopted a hard line in negotiations with her French counterpart, Nicolas Sarkozy, over the shape of a rescue package.

Whilst the Mail claims that Britian is going to be left with a huge bill for the Euro Zone adding that more than £18billion was wiped off the value of shares in London in just 20 minutes when EU officials also warned that a separate make-or-break leaders’ summit today in Brussels would also fail to end the crisis.

Away from Brussels,both the Independent and the Telegraph put the spotlight on other government activity.

The Telegraph claims that a confidential report is recommending that companies should be given the right to dismiss unproductive workers without explanation.

The radical recommendation to scrap the concept of unfair dismissal is made by Adrian Beecroft, a venture capitalist, in a report commissioned by David Cameron

.says the paper

Meanwhile the Indy says that the Chancellor is the leader of an increasingly influential faction within the Cabinet willing to sacrifice green policies if doing so is deemed helpful to economic growth.

Both the Mirror and the Sun turn their attention to England Captain John Terry.

Give me the truth is the headline in the former which says Anton Ferdinand turned up the heat on John Terry last night over his alleged racism rant adding that the QPR star said he wanted answers about their on-pitch clash despite the Chelsea ace insisting his remarks were taken out of context

The Sun says that as the police look set to investigate the claims Terry could be stripped of the England captaincy

Cameron's bloody nose,squeeze on middle classes and Robin's battle-Tuesday's papers

The European vote continues to make the headlines after last night's vote on the EU referendum.

The Guardian says that the largest postwar rebellion on Europe occurred last night as 81 Tory MPs voted in favour of a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU.

With a new opinion poll showing overwhelming support for a referendum, normally loyal backbenchers told Downing Street that Cameron will face further rebellions unless he takes a tough stance in EU treaty negotiations

. says the paper.

The Mail and the Express take to the barricades though.A bloody nose for Cameron says the former

it was a worse mutiny on Europe than any suffered by Ted Heath, Margaret Thatcher or John Major, and came after Mr Cameron told his MPs that they might have to wait years before Britain claws back powers from Brussels.

Whilst the Express describes a scandal over the vote saying that craven MPs were last night accused of cowardice and betrayal after rejecting a referendum on the European Union in a crunch Commons vote.

Cambusters says the Sun saying that the PM's euro war with his backbenchers may now continue for years with a new EU treaty change on the cards as the only solution to the debt crisis.

The other papers look to other stories for their leads.Cabinet ministers wrong about cause of riots says the Independent reporting that the Government's own research has concluded most of the young rioters arrested during this summer's violence came from the country's most deprived homes and were struggling at schools in poor neighbourhoods.

The Telegraph warns that a new report warns that children from middle-class families will be hardest hit by the most severe funding cuts to state education since records began more than 50 years ago.

The Times claims an exclusive reporting that after its investigations,the Vatican has ordered a top-level inquiry into sexual abuse by clerics at London's Ealing abbey.

Bee Gee Robin's agony is the headline in the Mirror as the paper reports he has been constantly fighting a crippling stomach condition for nearly two years,the same condition that killed his brother Maurice.

Saturday's papers-Gaddafi's golden gun,European chaos and X Factor chaos

Recriminations continue about the death of Colonel Gaddafi this morning with the Telegraph reporting that Libya's rebel army has been accused of executing both Colonel Muammar Gaddafi and his son Mutassim in cold blood as the United Nations suggested their deaths amounted to war crimes.

The Times claims that the Libyan dictator had been killed with his own favoured golden gun by a young man.

The source, who asked to remain anonymous, was told that Gaddafi was carrying the gun when he was captured on Thursday in a culvert after a Nato airstrike on his convoy. Appearing to be in shock, he is said to have asked his captors: “What’s wrong, chaps?”

The Independent though leads with Libya as it reporter Kim Sengupta visits the temporary resting places for the former dictator and his son.

The blood had been washed off and the faces, eyes shut, were in repose. But the terrible wounds of the last violent moments were left uncovered by the shrouds of white cloth that had been hastily thrown over them

Europe meanwhile returns to the front pages.The Guardian says that in an interview with the paper,Ed Miliband has attacked David Cameron for not seeking a place at next week's crucial eurozone summit, describing the crisis in the single currency region as a "hugely dangerous moment for the world"

Friday's papers-Mad dogs tyrants,Europe imploding

One story not surprisngly dominates the front pages and maybe it's the Sun's headline which sums it up the best

That’s for Lockerbie, Gaddafi And for Yvonne Fletcher. And IRA Semtex victims says the paper as it reports that ruthless tyrant Colonel Muammar Gaddafi lies dead, after the 270 victims of the Lockerbie bombing he orchestrated were finally avenged.

End of a tyrant says the Independent.

In the end the death of Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan dictator who had seemed to slip from the grasp of the rebels who forced him out of power, was as undignified and brutal as those of so many of his enemies over the years.

The Guard

The Guardian says that he was born in Sirte, and when he became the ruler of all Libya, he transformed it from an insignificant fishing village into the country's sprawling second city. On Thursday, after a brutal,and ultimately hopeless,last stand, it was the place where he died.

No mercy for the merciless tyrant says the Telegraph quoting the irony that Gaddafi had often referred to his enemies as “vermin” as he vowed to hunt them down alley by alley or die trying.

The Times adds that Death came to Gaddafi, the man who dubbed himself the King of Kings, at the hands of a youth wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap and a T-shirt emblazoned with the word Love.

“He shouted ‘Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot!’ ” said Mohammed el-Bibi who had helped to flush the deposed Libyan leader out of a drainpipe. But the bullets came anyway and an eight-month war in the desert came to an end with a pool of blood in the sand.

Don't shoot is the Mail's headline as it reports the final humiliation for the man who had so brutally ruled Libya for 42 years came when he was hauled from his hiding place in a sewer.

The same headline is on the front page of the Mirror as it adds 69-year-old Mad Dog’s pleas fell on deaf ears and the seething Libyan gunmen dragged him from the pipe, battered him senseless then executed him with shots to his legs and head at 8.30am.

Away from Libya,the Independent reports that Europe is in disarray over the Euro crisis wiith France and Germany divided. Their leaders admit that the 'make-or-break' meeting has no chance of success as a second summit is convened for next week

That story also features heavily in the Guardian which reports that Merkel and Sarkozy are at loggerheads over the French proposal for a bailout fund to become $2tn 'bank' overseen by ECB

The news that ETA have announced a “definitive cessation” to its campaign of violence is widely reported.The Telegraph says it could be an end to a four decade campaign that has claimed more than 800 lives.

The other story relegated from the front pages is the growing rebellion amongst Tory MP's over the vote on a European referendum.The Times reports that David Cameron is facing more than half a dozen resignations as a third of his backbenchers lined up to insist on an imminent referendum on Britain’s links with the European Union in this Parliament.

Justice,Europe,fuel poverty and a "misread kiss-Thursday's papers

Pictures of yesterday's scenes at Dale Farm are on nearly all of the front pages thsi morning.However they don't make any of the lead stories.

Indeed there is quite a mixed bag.

Europe is one common theme.The Times reports on the comments of Lord Judge, the Lord Chief Justice who criticised the dominance of the European Court of Human Rights yesterday, saying that British courts are free to ignore its rulings.

Speaking in the Lord's he said there was an arguable case that judges must take account of decisions in Strasbourg but were not bound by them.

Legal matters also feature on the front of the Independent which says that centuries of open justice are threatened by secret courts.

Civil courts, immigration panels and even coroner's inquests would go into secret session if the Government rules that hearing evidence in public could be a threat to national security.

The Mail returns to a popular theme reporting that David Cameron is to rush forward a landmark Commons vote on Britain's relationship with Europe.It follows reports that there is'complete panic' in Tory high command about growing support in the party for a referendum.

The big freeze will kill thousands says the Express saying that more than 2,700 lost their lives to illnesses caused by fuel poverty according to the most recent annual figures released in a Government-commissioned report.

The paper adds that this is higher than the number of people killed in road accidents. But the figure is set to soar this winter because of rocketing gas and electricity bills.

That story makes the front page of the Telegraph but it leads with a report that savers are having their retirement funds “eaten away” by excessive hidden fees.

A study by the National Association of Pension Funds says that fees are too high and that consumers face an “eye wateringly complex” system of hidden levies.

The Guardian returns to the topic of Liam Fox revealing that the affair has reached the Conservative party's high command for the first time after it was confirmed that its leading fundraiser introduced donors to the former defence secretary, who then introduced them to his best man, Adam Werritty

The Mirror reports on the latest revelations to come out of the Vincent Tabak trial as it says that the court heard yesterday that Tabak strangled Joanna Yeates when she screamed after he tried to give her a passionate kiss

The papers-King's warning,tax blunders and a vaccine for malaria

A mixed bag of front pages this morning.

The Telegraph leads with the comments of the Governor of the Bank of England who said yesterday that Britain is at risk from a fundamental crisis in the world economy and “time is running out” to solve it.

In a sobering assessment of the world economy, Sir Mervyn warned that even if world leaders managed to agree on emergency moves to support the banking system and debt-stricken economies such as Greece, they would still not have averted the threat to global stability.

Both the Mail and the Express stay on the subject of finance.Seven million caught in huge tax blunder is the Mail's headline as it reports that whilst six million of them will receive letters in coming weeks saying they have overpaid and can expect £2.5billion back,a further 1.2million, including more than 150,000 pensioners, face the shock of being told they did not pay enough. On average, they will have to find £600 each.

Meanwhile the Express says that on the back of yesterday's inflation figures,pensioners will see their allowance lifting incomes by at least £276 a year.

The Times reports that plans for a compulsory register for “professional” lobbyists will be published next month and are so widely drawn that they will cover not only big lobbying businesses that act for private clients, but almost any organisation that tries to make a case to government.

Medicines are in crisis after a ruling by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg over stem cell research says the Independent.

researchers have condemned a Europe-wide ban on the patenting of stem cell inventions derived from human embryos – setting back possible new treatments for a range of disorders, from heart disease and diabetes to blindness and Parkinson's.

Medical matters also make the front of the Guardian which reports that researchers are 'on the cusp' of a vaccine after widescale African trial shows the risk of malaria cut in half.

Struck off by your GP,and the perils of fish pedicures-This morning's papers

Both the Independent and the Mail lead with the story that patients are being banned by their GPs simply for making minor complaints.

The Mail says that entire families are being unfairly removed from practice lists and barred from making appointments following trivial disagreements with doctors or staff.

Whilst the Independent reports that the tough "one strike and you're out" approach led to a 6 per cent rise in complaints to the Health Service Ombudsman about patient removals last year, which accounted for more than one in five of all complaints about GPs.

An NHS theme also for the Guardian this morning which reports that £20bn in a savings drive is affecting frontline hospital patients despite pledge they would be protected

Evidence gathered by the paper reveals amongst other things that birth centres are closing, patients are being denied pain-relieving drugs and leaflets advising parents how to prevent cot death have been scrapped.

Both the Times and the Telegraph return to the subject of Liam Fox.The latter says that the official report to be published tomorrow will not identify those who funded Dr Liam Fox’s self-styled adviser.

The Times meanwhile reveals that it has emerged that Israeli officials shared sensitive intelligence on Iran with Liam Fox’s best man because they believed that Adam Werritty was an official adviser to the former Defence Secretary.

Meanwhile analysis by the Guardian reveals that ministers held more than 1,500 meetings with corporate representatives in the first 10 months of the coalition

The Times has more bad news for the government as it reports the conclusion of extensive internal research by the Conservative Party which finds that millions more women than men think that the economy is headed in the wrong direction, have become deeply pessimistic about their children’s futures and are suspicious of the coalition.

The Telegraph turns to the economy reporting that British taxpayers may be dragged into a rescue package for the eurozone after a leading forecaster warned that the crisis has brought this country’s economy “grinding to a halt”

A European theme in the Express which says that our hopes of quitting the EU received a huge boost last night after MPs were given the green light to hold a vote on the issue.

The Mail turns its attention to the Labour party which it claims cashes in on ambulance chasers.The party’s coffers are swollen by ‘£250 plus VAT’ every time it refers a supporter who is seeking accident compensation to a friendly firm of solicitors.

It's taken 22 years of ­dignified campaigning against a backdrop of vile slurs and distorted facts says the Mirror but relatives of the 96 Liverpool fans killed at Hillsborough have taken a step closer to learning the full truth as David Cameron pledged to release secret Cabinet papers on the 1989 tragedy.

Sunday papers,Fox,Werrity,Iran,Macca's honeymoon hideaway and a boob tax

He may have resigned but that doesn't mean he is off the front pages this morning.

The Telegraph reports that the former defence secretary and his "advisor" were battling damaging new allegations over their conduct last night.

The paper says that donors said they had given money to Mr Werritty to promote their political agenda but were furious to discover the cash was used to fund his lavish lifestyle.

An Independent on Sunday investigation finds that Adam Werritty has been involved in an audacious plot to topple Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The paper claims that Werrity has visited Iran on several occasions and met Iranian opposition groups in Washington and London over the past few years, and has has been debriefed by MI6 about his travels and is so highly regarded by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.

The Observer meanwhile says that David Cameron has been accused of allowing a secret rightwing agenda to flourish at the heart of the Conservative party, as fallout from the resignation of Liam Fox exposed its close links with a US network of lobbyists, climate change deniers and defence hawks.

The Sunday Times concentrates on another governmnet minister Michael Gove.It reports that the education secretary faces allegations of sidelining officials and instead relying on sympathetic advisers after four top civil servants quit his department.

Away from politics The Mail on Sunday claims that the government plans to raise up to £500 million a year by slapping VAT on cosmetic surgery.It has daubed the scheme,the boob tax

The People has a picture of the youngest arm robber in the UK on its front page.The boy,Jobe Kilbride is seen posturing as he is photographed by other thugs was the youngest of five teenagers who used this weapon, says the paper, to rob taxi drivers and stores during a vicious 10-day spree.

Saturday's papers-Fox,Letwin,artic weather and Kevin Webster

These are the headlines this morning from the papers.dominated by one vent late yesterday afternoon in the political world.

Performing a reluctant reshuffle, David Cameron made minimal moves to the frontbench from his constituency home in Oxfordshire, replacing Fox by phone with the transport secretary, Philip Hammond, who in turn was succeeded by Justine Greening

says the Guardian

which says that Dr Fox had crumpled under the weight of this week's news stories and could not bear to contemplate another weekend of claims surrounding his friendship with his best man.

Dr Fox spared David Cameron the political awkwardness of a sacking and told the Prime Minister in a surprise 2.30pm phone call that he was resigning. says the Times adding that he said that he had “mistakenly allowed the distinction between my personal interest and my government activities to become blurred”

The Telegraph says that the resignation occurred as it emerged that the Defence Secretary had personally asked a City financier to bankroll his unofficial adviser.

The paper adds that

Within an hour of Dr Fox stepping down, the venture capitalist Jon Moulton, who provided money for Mr Werritty, said the Defence Secretary had asked him to give cash to his friend’s firm. It is understood that an investigation into Dr Fox’s dealings with Mr Werritty by Sir Gus O’Donnell, the Cabinet Secretary, had concluded that his position was untenable.

The Mail reveals that he fell on his sword after the millionaire money men turned on him and deliberately leaked details of how £157,000 was paid to his self-styled adviser Adam Werritty, pictured together on Dr Fox's wedding day, to let him fly around the world with the Defence Secretary.

The Independent says that Dr Fox had told friends he had decided to step down because he could see no end to the media feeding frenzy.

The Laurel and Hardy clowns’ shambolic behaviour has left the PM reeling says the Mirror,reminding readers that it is not just Dr Fox who is in the headlines but Oliver Letwin who faces a probe for dumping secret papers in public bins.

The Express doesn't lead with the resignation instead prefering to tell us that winter will roar in next week as a bitterly cold Arctic blast brings snow and freezing temperatures for up to 10 days.

Meanwhile the Sun reveals that Corontaion Street's Michael Le Vell,accused of raping a girl of six — has split from his wife.

Friday's papers

Both the Telegraph and the Times have more revelations about the Defence secretary.

The former reports that Dr Fox and his unofficial “adviser” Adam Werritty attended $500-a-head dinner in Washington with senior defence industry figures last year which has not been declared by the Ministry of Defence.

Meanwhile the Times reveals that a corporate intelligence company with a close interest in Sri Lanka, a property investor who lobbies for Israel and a venture capitalist keen on strong ties with Washington helped to fund the jet-set lifestyle of Liam Fox’s close friend,
