15 more bodies is the headline on the front of the News of the World this morning

COPS working on the Margate house of horror are re-opening dozens of cold cases.
The body of Vicky Hamilton was found this week as a result of a tense summit held two months ago at Police Staff College, Bramshill, Hampshire.
Officers from several different forces met to discuss a number of unsolved murders in a bid to find out if any of the cases could be connected.
Ian McNicol, father of the girl believed to be the second body buried in the garden of 50 Irvine Drive, Margate, revealed: "They told me they're looking for 15 more people, from little girls to teenagers. It's horrific."

Our nightmare is worse every day, say family who lived in house of horror reports the Mail

As the family of Vicky Hamilton left flowers at the house in Margate, Kent, mother-of-four Nicola Dowling described how the first she knew of her home's terrible secret was when police visited her to explain they had to search for bodies.

In what is seen as a triumph of forensic detective work, murder charges are expected to be laid next week against Robert Napper, a 41-year-old mental patient.

Michael Langham, writing exclusively in The Independent on Sunday, claims that police and lawyers, "infected with witch-hunting fervour", threw his son "to the wolves" to "cover up their shocking inability to arrest any of the actual dealers in paedophile images who... represent the real evil". He accused the police of "zestfully chasing headlines", and said the media failed to report the case fairly.

All children must read at six, says Cameron

David Cameron will put his party on a collision course with the teaching profession this week when he announces that virtually every child in the country will be expected to read by the age of six under a Conservative government.
Cameron wants pupils to sit reading tests at the end of year one and the target will be for all, bar those with serious learning difficulties, to pass. Teachers say the plans will cause long-lasting harm to late developers by labelling them as failures at a young age. 'It flies in the face of international evidence that suggests children do better if they start formal education later on,' said Chris Davis of the National Primary Headteachers' Association. 'The target is too early. One of the worst things you can do with a very young child is give them the impression that they can't do something. That can put them off for a very long time, if not for ever.'

The papers meanwhile contain more bad news for Gordon Brown

Gordon Brown hits his all-time low says the Times

THE poll ratings of Gordon Brown have plunged to an all-time low as prime minister amid deepening economic gloom, disarray within the cabinet and increasing criticism of the government’s rescue of the Northern Rock bank, a new opinion poll shows.
The sharp fall comes just weeks after Brown was accused by his political opponents of cowardice in not calling an autumn general election. It will be seen as evidence that Labour’s strongest card under Tony Blair, its management of the economy, is being eroded as voters worry about jobs and house prices.

Blair adds to Brown's tension with Miliband says the Telegraph

Rising tensions between Gordon Brown and David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, have threatened to open a new rift at the heart of the Government, it emerged last night.
Relations between them, already rocky after Mr Miliband was forced to tone down a speech about the European Union, are understood to have worsened after comments by Tony Blair began to circulate at Westminster.
Mr Blair went out of his way to praise Mr Miliband, his one-time protégé, who earlier this year considered standing against Mr Brown for the Labour leadership, before pulling out and receiving his plum Cabinet post.

Disaffected. Left out. Unhappy says the Observer

Friends of Miliband, who is not a member of the Brown 'inner circle', say that Miliband is increasingly disaffected. 'David is not happy as Foreign Secretary,' one friend said yesterday. 'I think he is watching out to be sure that he is not knocked down by people who want to ensure he is not Gordon's successor.'

British hostages in Iraq to be ‘held for years’ is the lead in the Times

THE kidnappers of five British hostages seized in Baghdad last May have said they could be held for years if demands for the release of an Iranian-backed militia leader are not met.
The warning came as the first detailed information emerged about the plight of the hostages, who enter their 174th day in captivity today.
The men, an IT consultant and four bodyguards who were kidnapped from the finance ministry, have recorded messages for their families in a video passed to officials in Iraq. They also appealed to the British government to help to free them.

As is the Independent which has a picture of a red planet under the headline

A world dying, but can we unite to save it?

Humanity is rapidly turning the seas acid through the same pollution that causes global warming, the world's governments and top scientists agreed yesterday. The process – thought to be the most profound change in the chemistry of the oceans for 20 million years – is expected both to disrupt the entire web of life of the oceans and to make climate change worse.
The warning is just one of a whole series of alarming conclusions in a new report published by the official Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which last month shared the Nobel Peace Prize with former US vice president Al Gore.

Japan hunts 50 humpback whales for research says the Telegraph

The fleet is due to embark today, intending to kill more than 1,000 whales, including 50 of the endangered humpback whales protected by an international moratorium since 1963. Two observation boats are already heading for the southern Pacific.The hunt, the biggest of its kind to take place in the southern Pacific, is due to last until April. Japan claims that it is necessary for scientific purposes but environmentalists condemn it and have vowed to disrupt it. Some fear the hunt may target the only known white humpback whale, known as Migaloo, first spotted off the coast of Australia in 1991.

Death toll rises in Bangladesh cyclone reports the Independent

Desperate families were searching for survivors in Bangladesh as the death toll from Cyclone Sidr rose above 1,700 yesterday. Hundreds of bodies littered flattened rice fields, with mourning relatives joining "processions of death" as officials tried to bury the victims as quickly as possible to avoid disease.
The category four storm spawned a 15ft tidal surge, flattening three coastal towns and tens of thousands of homes. More than three million villagers were evacuated and millions more were left without electricity or clean water

The Observer reporting that

Bodies littered flattened rice fields along the coast and Bangladesh TV described relatives joining a 'procession of deaths' as they hurried to bury corpses.

It turns its attention to Pakistan

Musharraf widens his sphere of punishment

Two weeks into the crisis that began when Musharraf purged the judiciary, muzzled the media and clamped down on politicians who opposed his re-election, the full details of what the 'state of emergency' entails are emerging as human rights groups in Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore collect testimonies.
Retribution is being meted out on a massive scale and Pakistan's powerful gossip mill has attributed a particular motive to Musharraf's thinking - his aim is to 'teach a lesson' to those who have dared object to his belief that only he can save his country. The aim of the state of emergency has been largely to humiliate the opposition.

Pervez Musharraf 'protecting nuclear arsenal'

Pakistan's military ruler defended his iron grip over the country yesterday, saying it was the only way to prevent his nation's nuclear arsenal from falling into "the wrong hands".
As he sought to justify continuing the emergency rule that he declared two weeks ago, President Pervez Musharraf raised the nightmare spectre of Islamists getting hold of Pakistan's nuclear weapons.
He spoke out after receiving a dressing down in Islamabad yesterday from John Negroponte, the United States envoy, who told him that his bans on political rallies and independent media could destroy the credibility of elections planned for January.

Farmers face £40m levy for disease outbreaks

Farmers across Britain face a new levy to help pay for the soaring costs of dealing with animal diseases including bird flu, bluetongue and foot and mouth.
The price of curbing the spread of infections in cattle, sheep and turkeys is likely to cost the taxpayer at least £120m this year. Farmers will be expected to meet some of the cost, through a levy raising around £40m a year which will be based on the size of each farm and its operation.

Two overseas stories in the Sunday Times

Death awaits Korea’s escape mastermind Michael Sheridn reporting that

ONE of the bravest men I have ever met is locked in a Chinese prison this weekend, facing the risk of being sent back to certain execution in his native North Korea.
His story stands for the human suffering that endures while diplomats craft a controversial agreement to disarm North Korea of its nuclear weapons and to grant its dictator, Kim Jong-il, the peace treaty and the recognition that his regime has sought for decades.
The man is Yoo Sang-joon, a refugee from North Korea who lost his wife and younger son in a famine under Kim’s Stalinist system in the 1990s, and who then escaped across the border into China.

I believe that this will be a very tight, difficult fight in this last week,' he said.
