He was escorted from the villa yesterday after a dawn swoop by police. Forensic teams were last night still searching the two-storey building in Praia da Luz.
Murat, fluent in Portuguese, has been helping local police and Madeleine's distraught parents Gerry and Kate cope with the language barrier by translating for them.

Climate change: new global plan to tie in worst polluters is the lead in the former

Tony Blair believes he is close to persuading George Bush to accept an ambitious plan to bring the world's greatest polluters into international partnership to fight climate change for the first time.
The plan would involve setting up a network of carbon trading schemes and is one of five main proposals drawn up by the Germans and British ahead of the G8 summit next month.
The concept of an international agreement involving the G8 industrialised nations, and some of the poorest but most polluting countries such as India and China, was first mooted by Mr Blair at the G8 summit in Gleneagles in 2005. British officials believe they are now close to securing an outline agreement in time for the June summit in the German seaside resort of Heiligendamm. Mr Blair wants an agreement before President Bush leaves the White House; they are due to hold talks tomorrow at the White House during the prime minister's last official visit to Washington.

An American nightmare: US search for kidnapped troops in Iraq

Even by Iraqi standards Youssufiyah is a violent place. At first sight the well-watered farmland and groves of date palms look attractively green but then you notice the bullet-riddled hulks of cars. Iraqi soldiers and police appear more than usually frightened. The streets of the ramshackle and grimy town conveys a sense of menace.
I used to disguise myself with a red-and-white Arab headdress to pass safely though the lethally dangerous area south of Baghdad where three American soldiers are being held captive. I would sit in the back of my car hoping that the small boys selling cigarettes beside the road didn't recognise me as a foreigner.
Thousands of American and Iraqi troops were desperately searching these towns and the land round about yesterday in the hope of finding a bunker or secret room where three abducted soldiers are being held. It may already be too late. The Islamic State of Iraq, the group which claimed yesterday to have captured them and to which al-Qa'ida belongs, may already have spirited them out of the area.

British 'hold talks with Sunni rebel leaders'

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, President Jalal Talabani said British officers played a key role in talks between his government and insurgent groups over reducing the sectarian violence that has torn the country apart.
The parties were now on the verge of an historic breakthrough after the negotiations showed "good signals" of success, he said.

Key backing for Johnson in Labour deputy fight

John Prescott will today back Alan Johnson as his successor as Labour's deputy leader, the Guardian has learned. In a significant boost to the education secretary, Mr Prescott will endorse his neighbouring Hull MP as he formally launches his deputy leadership campaign.
Yesterday Mr Johnson told the Guardian he would try to perform the same role for Gordon Brown as Mr Prescott had for "quite posh" Tony Blair. Like Mr Prescott, Mr Johnson is from a working-class background.

Brown to attack Blair's education 'failures'

Tony Blair has failed to deliver a "world class" education system despite massive extra investment in schools during his decade in power, Gordon Brown will say today.
Further distancing himself from the Prime Minister's record, the Chancellor will describe numeracy rates among young children as "unacceptable" for one of the world's leading economies. "We are still some way off being world class," the Chancellor will say as he turns to schools policy on the latest leg of his campaign for the Labour leadership.

The Mirror describes him as THE SUM KING

GORDON Brown will today announce a £35million blitz on maths to get 300,000 extra children doing their sums properly by 2010.
The Prime Minister in waiting will reveal plans for "maths mentors" to stop pupils falling behind in class.
The Every Child Counts programme will deliver intensive one-to-one tuition for children who struggle with the subject - with £600 being spent on each pupil.

A bounce for Brown as Labour closes gap reports the Times

Gordon Brown’s campaign for the Labour leadership gains an early boost this morning from a Times poll showing that he is seen as a better and stronger leader than David Cameron.
The Populus poll, undertaken over the weekend, indicates that Labour support is up by four points since mid-April to 33 per cent, while the Conservatives are unchanged on 37 per cent, despite their big gains in the local elections on May 3. The Liberal Democrats have dropped by three points to 17 per cent, with others down one point at 13 per cent.

The Independent looks at the deputy leadership contest

Boost for Harman as Benn deputy bid suffers setback

Harriet Harman emerged as the "hot ticket" of the deputy leadership race last night after a series of leading Brownites backed her campaign. Her 60 nominations included Alistair Darling, who is tipped to become Mr Brown's Chancellor, Douglas Alexander and Ed Miliband, all senior members of the Brown camp.
The boost for Ms Harman was seen as bad news for Hilary Benn, who was regarded as a Brown favourite for the deputy leadership but is struggling to get the 45 nominations needed to run for the leadership.

Brown has a rival (of sorts) in contest for the leadership says the Mail

Gordon Brown may not have a "coronation" as Labour leader after all. Left-wing MP John McDonnell said last night he had enough support to trigger a contest.
The anti-war firebrand saw off rival Michael Meacher in the battle to stand as the candidate from the Left.

His chances of beating the Chancellor are minuscule, however, and the race will be little more than a token contest.
But many of Mr Brown's closest supporters have insisted he would relish a contest, and there is a widespread belief among MPs and party members.

BLAIR SWANS AROUND IN HELICOPTOR

TONY Blair yesterday went on a taxpayer-funded farewell tour of schools to talk about how much better education was under his leadership.
But Gordon Brown will immediately take the wind out of his sails by branding standards in primaries “unacceptable”.The outgoing Prime Minister spent £50,000 travelling in a Royal Navy Sea King helicopter to visit three schools, a nursery and further education college to meet pupils and teachers.

COPS FURY AT 'CREAM BUN' ARREST TARGETS

ANGRY police officers say they are being forced to make ludicrous arrests to meet government targets - including nicking a child for throwing cream buns.
The Police Federation published a dossier of ridiculous cases it says result from the relentless pressure to hit Home Office targets.
They include cautioning a Cheshire man for being "found in possession of an egg with intent to throw", a West Midlands officer told to caution a man for throwing a glass of water over his girlfriend and the child in Kent held for hurling buns at a bus.
Another Kent child was held for throwing a slice of cucumber from a sandwich at a youngster - whose parents claimed it was assault.
And two Manchester children were held under firearms laws for having a plastic toy pistol.

Officers' homophobia hampered murder investigations, says review reports the Guardian

Scotland Yard's reaction to killings and attacks on gay, lesbian and transsexual people has historically been blighted by "institutional" homophobia, according to a report. A review of how detectives handled 10 murders of gay men or transsexuals says that in some cases inquiries were hampered by lack of knowledge, reliance on unfounded stereotypes and personal prejudices. Of the cases examined in a process sanctioned by the Met, four remain unsolved.
The report, written by the independent Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Advisory Group, says the problems were mirrored and in many cases exacerbated by coverage in the mainstream media.

Million-dollar payout for lonely teenager who was told ‘bullying is good for you’

A teenager who is unlikely ever to make a friend or hold down a job because of the bullying he suffered at school is to receive A$1 million compensation.
A Sydney court was told that the bullying of Benjamin Cox began soon after he started school at the age of 5 and that when his mother complained she was told that it would be good for him because bullying was character-building.
Now 18, Mr Cox is so traumatised and afraid of strangers that he spends his days alone at home playing computer games.
Yesterday a Supreme Court judge in New South Wales awarded him A$220,000 for pain and suffering and a substantial additional sum for the economic loss that his trauma will cause him. That is expected to take the total award to A$1 million (£421,000), to be paid by the New South Wales Department of Education.
