MURDERED BY CHEAP FOOD is the front page of the Mail on Sunday as the Sundays report on the blaze at a vegetable warehouse in Warwickshire.
Yesterday buckled corrugated sheets and girders formed a huge pile in the centre of the depot.
Warwickshire's Fire Chief, William Brown, said all staff who attended the scene had acted heroically and he promised a full investigation into the tactics used to combat the blaze.
He called the fire "deeply shocking and catastrophic" and added: "It was the worst day of my career."
Bridegroom among four firemen killed in blaze says the Times
Darren Yates-Badley, 24, who married last month, and his crew answered a 999 call to a suspected arson attack at a vegetable packing plant in Atherstone on Stour, Warwickshire, on Friday night.
Yates-Badley, who also worked at a local gym, married Fay Beasley at Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, last month. The couple left the church for the reception in an old fire engine.
Search continues after 'arson' kills firefighters says the Telegraph
Police are investigating theories about the cause of the fire, at a vegetable packing warehouse, including the possibility that it was started by a disgruntled former worker.
Late last night, colleagues of the dead firemen made a first brief search of the wrecked structure before calling a halt for the night.

'Desperate' Musharraf declares martial law
Pakistan's president Pervez Musharraf imposed emergency rule last night, plunging the nuclear power into crisis and triggering condemnation from leaders around the world.
The action to reassert his flagging authority was, he said, a response to Islamic militancy and to the 'paralysis of government by judicial interference'. He said that his country's sovereignty was at stake.
Judges and lawyers were arrested, troops poured on to city streets and television and radio stations were taken off the air. Musharraf also suspended the constitution and fired the chief justice, Muhammad Iftikhar Chaudhry, who spearheaded a powerful mass movement against him earlier this year.
Musharraf tightens his grip on Pakistan after 'coup' says the Times
Islamabad looked a city under siege with army and paramilitary troops patrolling the deserted streets and security forces set up checkpoints on the main roads. The traffic remained thin and people stayed home, as tension was palpable. Constitution Avenue, where the Parliament, President house and Supreme Court are located, was cordoned off with barbed wire.

Children & alcohol: Britain's deadly cocktail
Record numbers of children are in treatment for alcohol abuse. Britain's drinking culture, combined with the sheer availability and affordability of alcohol, is taking a heavy toll of those most vulnerable to its effects.
An investigation by The Independent on Sunday has discovered that children as young as 10 are spending up to three years in treatment, ranging from residential rehabilitation to specialist counselling.
The new statistics, obtained from the National Treatment Agency, and published for the first time by the IoS, reveal a devastating picture of Britain's young people and children suffering from alcohol-related illness and self-destruction.

The Observer reports that
David Cameron was drawn into a row over race last night after a candidate in a high-profile Parliamentary seat praised Enoch Powell for his notorious 'rivers of blood' speech, which warned that Britain was 'literally mad' to allow widespread immigration.
Days after Cameron was praised by the head of the Equality Commission for tackling the issue of immigration in a non-racial way, Labour called on the Tory leader to remove Nigel Hastilow as a prospective Conservative candidate for declaring that Powell was 'right'.

Troops face £1,000 life cover bill
BRITISH soldiers going to war are to be charged private insurance premiums of up to £1,000 to make up for inadequate government compensation for death or injury.
The effective doubling of premiums is revealed in a leaked Ministry of Defence (MoD) document. The insurance scheme, known as Pax, is run by AIG, the insurance giant, and is officially recommended to soldiers before they go to the battlefield.
In the document, the MoD blames the increase in premiums on the high casualty rate in Afghanistan and Iraq. They say that a surge in payouts has wiped out the scheme’s profits.

MADDY CASE CLOSED BY XMAS says the Mirror
Portuguese detectives investigating Madeleine McCann's disappearance plan to close the case by CHRISTMAS.
Police have admitted that "unless a new piece of evidence falls out of the sky" the hunt will be wrapped up in a matter of weeks.

FOUR friends of Kate and Gerry McCann expect to be named as prime suspects over the disappearance of their daughter Madeleine.

The white carrier bag was discovered in a layby two weeks ago near Faro airport, the News of the World can reveal.
Maddie's parents Kate and Gerry McCann have learned the bag contained a blue fleece jacket and a pair of adult jeans with traces of DNA that contained "moderate" links to the missing four-year-old.

Among the children, some as young as 12, are dozens who have disappeared from local authority care, while scores of others have been identified by police and immigration officers as trafficking victims.

Immigration and education shake-up in Queen's Speech
Gordon Brown has responded to escalating concerns over the number of foreigners living and working in Britain by adding an immigration Bill to the list of new measures to be included in his first Queen's Speech this week.
A dedicated immigration Bill was missing from the list of 23 Bills and draft bills first revealed by the Prime Minister in July. But after national headlines were dominated last week by the political row over the impact of immigration on Britain's services and jobs market, it emerged yesterday that at least one Bill unveiled in the speech will tackle the issue.

Aide claims tryst with royal’s father
THE aide at the centre of an alleged blackmail plot against a member of the royal family has claimed he also had a homosexual liaison with the royal’s father and a Tory MP. The claims are made on recordings seized by police.
The new allegations, which are unsubstantiated, are contained on two computer disks, containing 16 audio and 24 videotapes, seized by detectives during a “sting” operation. The Sunday Times revealed last weekend that Scotland Yard’s blackmail squad had been called in by the junior royal. He claimed that two men had tried to extort £50,000 in exchange for agreeing not to sell the recording to the media.

Alive and safe, the brutal Japanese soldiers who butchered 20,000 Allied seamen in cold blood reports the Mail
The perpetrators of some of the worst atrocities of the Second World War remain alive and unpunished in Japan, according to a damning new book.
Painstaking research by British historian Mark Felton reveals that the wartime behaviour of the Japanese Navy was far worse than their counterparts in Hitler's Kriegsmarine.
According to Felton, officers of the Imperial Japanese Navy ordered the deliberately sadistic murders of more than 20,000 Allied seamen and countless civilians in cold-blooded defiance of the Geneva Convention.
Nip in for a quick one at the Crossed Legs reports the Observer
You walk in tentatively, hasten past the barman and emerge a few minutes later hoping he didn't twig, but his grimace tells you that he did. Caught sneaking into the pub toilet, you feel shamed into buying a drink after all.
The strange social ritual of spending a penny - or, rather, spending nothing - on someone else's premises could be in for a dramatic reversal. Government officials will this week hear evidence that Britain's dearth of public loos could be relieved if cafes, pubs and shops actively invite the public to use their conveniences with no pressure to buy anything.
