According to the Express
"AFTER one of the hottest summers on record, Britons have been warned to prepare for the big chill.Weathermen sent out the alert as they told the nation to wrap up for an icy blast from the Arctic.Temperatures are set to plummet to minus 4 degrees celsius (24F) overnight in some parts of the country in what could herald the start of a long and bitter winter.The sheer scale of the change in temperature, dropping up to 24F, will make conditions feel even colder."
The Telegraph leads on the Olympics in 2012 which they claim will
“suffer a huge setback last night amid fears that the entire project will fall prey to soaring costs and interfering politicians.”
Its basis is an interview with Jack Leemey who was drafted in to oversea the project only to quit after allegations of political interference and bad planning
The Times leads with the story that
“SCIENTISTS believe that they have found the underlying cause of cot death, a condition that claims the lives of hundreds of babies every year”
Research shows that
“victims had a brain abnormality that prevents the detection of insufficient oxygen levels in the body. As a result, babies with the condition can be smothered in their bedclothes, especially if they are sleeping on their fronts.”
Cot deaths claimed 300 deaths in Britain last year.
The Guardian leads on an NHS story
“Millions of personal medical records are to be uploaded regardless of patients' wishes to a central national database from where information can be made available to police and security services, the Guardian has learned.”
And claims that both the British medical association as well as civil liberty groups are against it
After yesterdays Common vote on whether the Iraq situation should be debated the Indie’s front page reports that whilst Britain and the US debate the situation the capital city Bagdad is under siege
"Well-armed Sunni tribes now largely surround Baghdad and are fighting Shia militias to complete the encirclement.
“The Sunni insurgents seem to be following a plan to control all the approaches to Baghdad. They have long held the highway leading west to the Jordanian border and east into Diyala province. Now they seem to be systematically taking over routes leading north and south.”
Yesterday evenings vote is well reported
The Times says
Tories vote with opponents of war but Blair survives revolt
Saying that during the debate Margaret Becket refused to concede any ground for a full inquiry
The Indie says
MPs attack Blair for 'vainglorious' approach to the conflict in Iraq
Putting the arguments for the debate
"Opening the debate, the Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price said British troops were in a "quagmire" in Iraq and attacked the war as the "worst foreign policy disaster since Suez".
Mr Price said: "There are two Iraqs - the Iraq of George Bush and the Prime Minister where things are going to plan and getting better all the time, and the real Iraq of murder and mayhem, whose future is uncertain."
He said: "It's time now to tell the Prime Minister and all future prime ministers that they are not president and that the policy of this United Kingdom does not always have to be the policy of the United States."
Mr Price told MPs: "The inquiry we are calling for is not just essential to understanding what happened three-and-a-half years ago. It's imperative in understanding where we go from here."
Whereas the Guardian claims that
Ministers hint at Iraq inquiry after withdrawal
"After the vote, the defence secretary Des Browne appeared to go further than the foreign secretary in accepting some form of inquiry will have to be held. He told BBC News 24: "When the time is right of course there will be such an inquiry."
"Downing Street later described the statement as a slip of the tongue and that the prime minister's office remained opposed to the inquiry."
The Sun turns on the Tory Party
PM's win over Iraq turncoat
"Tory leader Mr Cameron backed the war, but told his MPs to vote FOR a probe."
The News that Network Rail is found guilty of 16 breaches of safety following the Ladbroke Grove crash of 1999 is heralded in the Times
"Network Rail Infrastructure admitted at least 16 infringements at Blackfriars Crown Court, in London. Relatives of three of the victims attended the 20-minute hearing.
The charge referred to inadequate signal sighting distances and the obscuring of part of a signal.
Other parts of the charge mean that the company has admitted that it failed to ensure the convening of a signal- sighting committee after equipment was installed in 1995, and also after six incidents when signals were passed when red between 1996 and 1998. In addition, it did not carry out “adequate risk assessments” or investigations following them. "
The Guardian says
"Survivors of the disaster called for a "significant" fine to be imposed on Network Rail, owner of Britain's railway infrastructure, to send an example to British companies that serious health and safety breaches will be punished severely."
