'I WILL see Charles and Philip in court' - al Fayed

He declared: "I want Charles and Philip together in court. These are the people who ordered the murder."
The news of the Attorney General's intervention at the BBC has made the later additions of the papers,the Guardian reporting
BBC gagged over cash for honours inquiry
Lord Goldsmith, the attorney general, obtained an injunction to stop the BBC proceeding with a news story for the 10 O'Clock News after a two-hour hearing in chambers at the royal courts of justice in London.
The BBC could only say last night that it had been prevented from broadcasting a story which it believed was a "legitimate matter of public interest" about an hour before the bulletin went on air.
Its early additions led with
CO2 output from shipping twice as much as airlines
Carbon dioxide emissions from shipping are double those of aviation and increasing at an alarming rate which will have a serious impact on global warming, according to research by the industry and European academics.
Separate studies suggest that maritime carbon dioxide emissions are not only higher than previously thought, but could rise by as much as 75% in the next 15 to 20 years if world trade continues to grow and no action is taken. The figures from the oil giant BP, which owns 50 tankers, and researchers at the Institute for Physics and Atmosphere in Wessling, Germany reveal that annual emissions from shipping range between 600 and 800m tonnes of carbon dioxide, or up to 5% of the global total. This is nearly double Britain's total emissions and more than all African countries combined.
The Independent reports that
Five Britons kidnapped in Ethiopia's 'land of death'
Five Britons including diplomats and embassy staff were among 15 Western tourists being held by kidnappers in a remote corner of Ethiopia dubbed the "land of death" because of its extreme climate.
The Britons, who have links to the British embassy in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, were in one of two convoys intercepted on Wednesday in the barren Afar region close to the border with Eritrea, which is roamed by separatist rebels and bandits.
Whitehall sources said last night that there was a "national security dimension" to the kidnappings and that the government's emergency committee, Cobra, had met over the incident.
It continues its campaign against unscrupolous banks on its front page
Now banks are over-charging customers for information about their over-charging
The paper claims
Banks have been breaking the Data Protection Act by levying excessive charges to customers who are seeking a refund of their bank charges.
In a move that has angered and bemused campaigners, institutions have been making illegal demands for extra money from people for statements that would enable them to demand a refund.
Instead of paying the £10 fee set out by the Data Protection Act for such documents, customers have been asked for payments of up to £48 for printouts of their details.
The banks have insisted - wrongly - that the legislation does not cover information that they have "archived".
The petrol crisis continues
Supermarket chain stops petrol sales says the Telegraph
The supermarket chain Morrisons stopped selling unleaded petrol from 41 of its forecourts last night after traces of silicon were found in a sample of the fuel behind the breakdown of thousands of cars this week.
Tesco also announced that it was emptying petrol tanks at its affected forecourts in the South East, to refill them with uncontaminated fuel.
Morrisons said it would continue selling unleaded petrol at its 237 outlets which were not supplied from Vopak's distribution terminal at West Thurrock, Grays, Essex.
According to the Times
Supermarkets ‘were warned about problems with petrol a week ago’
Fuel suppliers knew more than a week ago that petrol had been contaminated while thousands of motorists continued to drive after filling up with the fuel, it was claimed yesterday.
Suppliers were told of a potential problem with unleaded petrol last week but did nothing to warn motorists, said Ray Holloway, director of the Petrol Retailers Association. He said that manufacturers told him last week about an increase in mysterious repairs and that suppliers were informed.

'Pay as you drive' schemes are in disarray
A key architect of road pricing threw the Government's plans for pay-as-you-drive charging into disarray last night as he called for the scheme to be limited to congestion hot spots.Sir Rod Eddington, who was brought in to advise the Government on transport, said that only motorists driving on the busiest city roads should pay to do so.
The Times leads with good news for air travellers
Price war looms over flights to New York
Air fares from London to New York are likely to be slashed after the European Union broke the British Airways stranglehold on flights from Heathrow.
EU and US negotiators took an important step towards liberalising air travel between the two continents by agreeing yesterday to break the cartel of airlines operating on the lucrative transatlantic route. Currently only BA, Virgin Atlantic, American Airlines and United are permitted. More than 40 per cent of flights from Europe to America leave from Heathrow, but now the route will be open to any airline.
The Independent reports from the streets of Denmark
Danish police braced for more street protests in Copenhagen
Danish police were braced for more demonstrations yesterday after some of the worst street clashes in recent years in Copenhagen, sparked by the eviction of squatters from a building, officials said.
Hundreds of officers, many in riot gear, were on the streets on Thursday, and similar numbers were expected yesterday as reinforcements arrived from other parts of the country.
"We are taking all eventualities into consideration and we will be plastering the whole city with police," Copenhagen police operations chief Per Larsen said.
A total of 219 people, 178 men and 41 women, were arrested and 25 people were treated for injuries Thursday when protesters threw cobblestones, lit fires and overturned cars in the Danish capital in demonstrations that continued late into the night.
Home Office condemned for '10 years of mistakes' reports the same paper
A staggering catalogue of mistakes by the Home Office over 10 years led to the troubled department failing to pass on information about 27,500 crimes committed by Britons abroad, a report into the scandal has concluded.
John Reid, the Home Secretary, was engulfed by a political storm in January after it emerged that details of the offences, including 540 murders, sex crimes and violent attacks, had not been added to the police national computer.
Ministers faced accusations of a whitewash after the internal Home Office report cleared them of responsibility for the blunders, putting the blame instead on a "collective failure" by civil servants.
Couple cleared of killing adopted son with salt overdose reports the Times
A couple who were jailed for killing a boy with salt cleared their names yesterday as their lawyer urged prosecutors to stop bringing cases that hinge on expert medical evidence.
Ian and Angela Gay endured 15 months in prison as hated child-killers, but they were acquitted of manslaughter and cruelty to Christian Blewitt, 3, after a retrial.
Their four-year battle to prove their innocence ended when a fresh expert emerged to say that the boy might have been suffering from a rare intolerance to salt, as reported in The Times last April.
COUPLE'S JOY AFTER SALT DEATH BATTLE is the Mirror's headline reporting that
A WEALTHY couple mouthed "thank you" to a jury yesterday as they were cleared of poisoning with salt a toddler they hoped to adopt.
Their solicitor William Bache added: "They have been through hell for years, including time in prison when both were threatened and abused.
"The worst of it was that Christian died. That is an enormous tragedy. They have lost the opportunity to rear the family they very much wished to have."
He told of the hurt the couple suffered as they were branded "child killers". The prosecution had alleged the couple force-fed Christian, who died in December 2002, six teaspoons of salt as a punishment for being naughty.

LIZ HURLEY WEDS EARLY
ELIZABETH Hurley married Arun Nayar in a secret ceremony yesterday.
The couple tied the knot in a hush-hush civil service - with just two witnesses - at Sudeley Castle yesterday afternoon.
The model and the Indian businessman went to extraordinary lengths to conceal their intimate wedding.
Only a handful of confidantes were told about it - and they were sworn to utmost secrecy.
The Guardian ,unaware of this fact if true ,looks forward to todays nuptials
Elephants, horses and Versace: must be the Hurley nuptials
The last time Elizabeth Hurley attended a wedding at Sudeley Castle, the happy day in 1998 for its owner Henry Dent-Brocklehurst, she was accused of attempting to upstage the bride, thanks perhaps to her decision to wear a scarlet dress split to the groin over a diamond-encrusted leopardskin G-string.
This evening, Ms Hurley will be taking no chances of such an event happening again. The sometime model, actor, film producer and swimwear designer will today marry Arun Nayar, an Indian textile tycoon at the Gloucestershire stately home in a ceremony designed to show even her reported guests Sir Elton John and the Beckhams what celebrity ostentation is all about.

Blair in a boater, a crude hand gesture, and the Class of '75
Although the photo has been published before, Mr Blair's hand gesture - which requires no explanation - was digitally removed from it by the press agency which supplied it, out of respect for the Prime Minister.
The uncensored version was aired for the first time on Thursday by BBC2's Newsnight, to the undoubted embarrassment of Downing Street, which refused to comment on the picture yesterday.
Yesterday one of his contemporaries revealed that the young Blair was lucky to escape a second brush with the law after "flashing" from a college window as a student prank.
