The fatal coach crash which resulted in the deaths of two people is featured prominently this morning.

Journey home turns into carnage and death

is the headline in the Telegraph which tells

A coach driver was under arrest last night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following a crash near Heathrow Airport in which two passengers died and others had limbs torn from their bodies.

The National Express double-decker London to Aberdeen night service, with 67 passengers on board, was approaching the M25 when it veered out of control and overturned just before midnight on Wednesday.

The Sun claims

Labour targets airlines over carbon emissions

The government has launched an outspoken attack on major airlines for refusing to take climate change seriously, branding Ryanair "the irresponsible face of capitalism" and describing the attitude of major American airlines "a disgrace".
Environment minister Ian Pearson also warned that British Airways was "only just about playing ball" in the fight to reduce carbon emissions. His language is strikingly tougher on some in the cheap flights industry than the prime minister's: Tony Blair has appeared extremely reluctant to be seen to be curtailing their growth.

The Indy meanwhile dedicates its front page to

For the first time, a real blueprint for peace in Iraq

The article written by former Iraqi Defence Minister,Ali Allawi, is an indepth analysis of and contains a blue print for the future of the country which would involve a de centralised solution,and a confederation of Middle Eastern states.

The first step must be the recognition that the solution to the Iraq crisis must be generated first internally, and then, importantly, at the regional level. The two are linked and the successful resolution of one would lead to the other.
No foreign power, no matter how benevolent, should be allowed to dictate the terms of a possible historic and stable settlement in the Middle East. No other region of the world would tolerate such a wanton interference in its affairs.
That is not to say that due consideration should not be given to the legitimate interests of the great powers in the area, but the future of the area should not be held hostage to their designs and exclusive interests.
Secondly, the basis of a settlement must take into account the fact that the forces that have been unleashed by the invasion of Iraq must be acknowledged and accommodated. These forces, in turn, must accept limits to their demands and claims. That would apply, in particular, to the Shias and the Kurds, the two communities who have been seen to have gained from the invasion of Iraq.
Thirdly, the Sunni Arab community must become convinced that its loss of undivided power will not lead to marginalisation and discrimination. A mechanism must be found to allow the Sunni Arabs to monitor and regulate and, if need be, correct, any signs of discrimination that may emerge in the new Iraqi state.
Fourthly, the existing states surrounding Iraq feel deeply threatened by the changes there. That needs to be recognised and treated in any lasting deal for Iraq and the area.

Staying with the Indy and Iraq,the paper reports that

Blair is criticised over his silence on Saddam execution

MPs are demanding a statement from the Prime Minister about the taunting and unauthorised filming of the former Iraqi dictator just before he was hanged last Saturday. They recalled that Mr Blair has commented on the deaths of footballers, musicians and disc jockeys as well as speaking for the nation after the death of the Princess of Wales and the Queen Mother.

The Telegraph meanwhile reveals that

Tony Blair cut short his controversial Miami holiday yesterday to take charge of a new Northern Ireland crisis that threatens his legacy as Prime Minister.

Officials insisted he was back to try to bridge differences between the Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and the Unionist leader, the Rev Ian Paisley. Their impasse over the future of policing in the province has cast doubt over the peace process.
With Iraq and Afghanistan more unstable than ever, Mr Blair is determined to secure a deal on devolved government in Northern Ireland before he leaves Number 10 in the summer.

The Telegraph though continues on its theme of yesterday this time reporting that

Navy to cut its fleet by half

Royal Navy commanders were in uproar yesterday after it was revealed that almost half of the Fleet's 44 warships are to be mothballed as part of a Ministry of Defence cost-cutting measure.

According to the paper

The Government has admitted that 13 unnamed warships are in a state of reduced readiness, putting them around 18 months away from active service. A need to cut the defence budget by £250 million this year to meet spending requirements has forced ministers to look at drastic measures.

Plague of rats is blamed on mania for recycling

It blamed rubbish collections that come just once a fortnight and the widespread use of composting bins for a huge jump in domestic disturbances by rats and mice.
Complaints from families and householders suffering summer invasions by rats have gone up by more than a fifth in just a year, it found.

A story also given prominence in the Times,

Rats come close to home as bins are unemptied

The brown rat population has surged by 39 per cent in 2005 according to the National Pest Technicians Association. It said that fortnightly collections and the widespread use of composting bins was exacerbating the problem. The problem would get worse as more councils switched to compulsory recycling, the association said.
