The Sun and the Mirror continue to lead on the Maddy case.
According to the Sun,the Portuguese police are saying
MISSING Madeleine McCann’s anguished parents sought solace in a walk on the beach yesterday — as police revealed that the hunt for their daughter is now back to square one.
The news came as tormented Gerry and Kate, both 38, vowed to stay in Portugal for “as long as it takes” — and even bring in extra help to find Maddie.
They walked hand-in-hand along the bay at the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz.
Kate wore a yellow ribbon in her hair for Maddie and carried her favourite toy Cuddle Cat as the couple spent an hour alone on the beach, lost in thoughts of their missing daughter. They stopped briefly to speak to a windsurfer before returning to their apartment.
The police chief in charge of the search for Maddie admitted cops have no suspects — and that every lead has so far produced nothing.

The Mirror reports the defiance of her parents
WE ARE NOT RETURNING WITHOUT OUR MADELEINE
LITTLE Madeleine McCann's parents took a stroll on the beach yesterday. And for a moment, walking hand-in-hand, Kate and Gerry could have been one more tourist couple enjoying the Portuguese sun.
But as a little girl ran past crying for her mother, Kate could not suppress an anxious glance.
And when they came upon a father playing happily with his children in the surf, Gerry had to look away.
Small signs - but enough to show the heartbreak that has been relentlessly tearing at the McCann family in the 11 terrible days since Madeleine disappeared from the resort of Praia da Luz.

Both the Mail the Telegraph concentrate on one particular aspect of Gordon Brown's agenda
BROWN TO TACKLE GP'S OVER PAY AND HOURS says the former
Gordon Brown is heading for a showdown with family doctors over their six-figure salaries.
He will tell them to bring back proper out-of-hours care or effectively take a pay cut.
GPs will be ordered to see patients in the evenings and at weekends to justify their bumper salaries - which have risen to an average of more than £100,000 in the last few years.
But doctors' leaders are warning he will have a fight on his hands.

Doctors to stay open longer in NHS shake-up reports the Telegraph
Doctors will have to alter their working hours radically by opening their surgeries in the evenings and at weekends as part of a shake-up of the NHS being considered by Gordon Brown.
The Chancellor - who will learn today whether he is to face a Left-wing challenge for the Labour leadership - could change GPs' contracts to encourage them to tailor opening hours more to busy working people.

Brown brands rivals' policies unaffordable says the Guardian
Gordon Brown yesterday asserted his New Labour credentials by laying into his two potential leftwing challengers for the Labour leadership, accusing them of offering unaffordable and very dangerous polices which had been tried and failed in the 1980s.
Mr Brown was speaking during a largely good natured 90-minute debate which may prove to be the only leadership debate of the election. He addressed fears that he would bow to pressure from the party's left, while offering hints of new directions on housing, health, and electoral reform, and a new multilateral foreign policy.

Family urges public inquiry over Sellafield
The government is facing renewed pressure for public hearings into the Sellafield body parts controversy as new details emerge of tests done on the organs of dead workers without the knowledge of bereaved families. Papers seen by the Guardian show how organs and tissue were removed at autopsies and apparently burned by doctors looking for evidence of radiation contamination.
One woman who has had confirmation that her father, Malcolm Pattinson, was among 65 people whose organs were taken without his family's consent, wants the government to hold a public inquiry into the affair, instead of hearing evidence behind closed doors. Pattinson died in 1971 from leukaemia. Yesterday his daughter, Angela Christie, 49, told the Guardian: "I'm not against research - how could I be when I work at Sellafield, just as my dad did, and so do my husband and my son? But the way these things were done has lessons for today."

The Times leads with the news that
Britain becomes a Prozac nation
The number of Britons prescribed antidepressants is at a record high, despite official warnings that many patients may not need them.
More than 31 million prescriptions were written by doctors for antidepressant drugs last year, figures published today reveal, with the use of drugs such as Seroxat and Prozac increasing by 10 per cent. The findings, which show a big increase on previous years, come despite growing concerns over the country’s excessive reliance on chemical treatments and over their possible side-effects.

The Independent returns to the theme of global warming
Deforestation: The hidden cause of global warming
The accelerating destruction of the rainforests that form a precious cooling band around the Earth's equator, is now being recognised as one of the main causes of climate change. Carbon emissions from deforestation far outstrip damage caused by planes and automobiles and factories.
The rampant slashing and burning of tropical forests is second only to the energy sector as a source of greenhouses gases according to report published today by the Oxford-based Global Canopy Programme, an alliance of leading rainforest scientists.
Figures from the GCP, summarising the latest findings from the United Nations, and building on estimates contained in the Stern Report, show deforestation accounts for up to 25 per cent of global emissions of heat-trapping gases, while transport and industry account for 14 per cent each; and aviation makes up only 3 per cent of the total.

The papers report on a breakthrough in Afghanistan
Brutal Taliban leader killed 'by US forces' says the Telegraph
Mullah Dadullah Akhund, a one-legged battlefield veteran, was so bloodthirsty that he was once dismissed from office by the Taliban because of his excessive brutality.
His bloodied corpse was displayed in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, about 24 hours after his death.
The Afghan government took credit for the killing, but diplomatic sources in the capital, Kabul, said that US special forces and intelligence officers provided the "guiding hand" behind the operation. It appears that the operation did not directly involve Nato forces, except in an air support role.

According to the Independent
Dadullah is a veteran guerrilla fighter who lost his leg in a landmine blast in 1995. He later led Taliban fighters against the Northern Alliance and built up a reputation for extreme brutality, which included the massacre of hundreds of civilians from the Hazara community in Bamian province. Even the Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, felt that Dadullah had overstepped the mark and recalled him from the front.
However, following the US-led invasion of 2001, Omar appointed Dadullah the leader of the Taliban forces in Affghanistan. He was also made a member of the 10-strong Rahbari Shura - leadership council - who directed attacks. One other member of the Shura has been killed by Nato forces and the rest remain among the most wanted figures in the Taliban.

Families are given power of attorney to end lives of the sick
Desperately ill patients will be able to instruct relatives to end their lives.
They will have the right to appoint a family member or friend to tell doctors to withdraw the tubes feeding them when they become too ill to communicate. Critics said the new rules - slipped out by ministers during the final days of the local election campaign - amount to the legalisation of euthanasia.

No signs of forced entry at murdered teenager’s home reports the Times
A pregnant teenager murdered in her own home was stabbed in the stomach and chest, it emerged yesterday.
As her family released a photograph of Sana Ali, 17, police revealed that she had suffered multiple knife wounds and been found alive at her home in Bury, Greater Manchester.
The girl, who was originally from Pakistan, moved to Britain five years ago and married a British Muslim, who is now aged 24.

KILLED FOR HONOUR? asks the Mirror
Det Chief Insp Keith Dillon said: "Sana sustained a number of injuries in what appears to have been a very violent attack. We are keeping an open mind as to the motive."
He added: "We are interviewing family to get background."
Asked whether it appeared to be an honour killing he said: "I haven't got any thoughts on that.
"I am keeping an open mind on absolutely everything. That doesn't mean I think it is or that I think it is not."

Kids who suffer abuse netmare
HALF of children using the internet have suffered sex abuse, bullying or other threats, a poll reveals.
The NSPCC survey found 50.4 per cent of kids had suffered an “unwanted experience” as the use of social networking sites increases.
Some 52 per cent of kids now log on to sites like Bebo at least once a day, increasing their exposure to abusers. Top reason for using these websites was to make new friends (89 per cent) or hook up with people they already know (79 per cent).
But 60 per cent admit they log on to prevent loneliness, and 53 per cent use the sites to share their problems.

'Choose between cash or court, Cherie'
Cherie Blair could become a successful judge but only if she abandons her plans to become a fixture on the lucrative lecture circuit, she was advised yesterday.
The comment came in a rare interview from Lady Butler-Sloss, who was Britain's most senior woman judge. She will sit for the last time tomorrow as coroner at the inquests of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Fayed.
Lady Butler-Sloss, the former President of the Family Division, said Mrs Blair's "former exposure to the press" as the Prime Minister's wife should not prevent her from joining the High Court.

Finally the inquest begins into the Eurovision song contest
From pariah state to kitsch victory: how a Balkan ballad showed Europe a new Serbia reports the Guardian
It might not be the most popular country in the world, but Serbia knows how to throw a party. Within minutes of its triumph in the Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki on Saturday night, the streets of Belgrade were blocked with revellers carousing into the early hours.
Flags and fireworks, Serbian three-fingered salutes, and rousing choruses of Prayer, the Balkan torch ballad that conquered Europe, dominated the all-night party that erupted in Belgrade.

Call for Eurovision reform as UK crash lands says the Telegraph
After another abysmal Eurovision night for the UK entry, former winners of the contest have called for the competition to be split in two in an attempt to foil tactical voting.
This year's competition, won on Saturday night by Serbian singer Marija, was characterised by neighbour-for-neighbour voting, especially among Eastern European countries.
Eastern bloc countries dominated the top 10, with Ukraine and Bulgaria joining Serbia in the top five. The UK's entry, Flying the Flag (For You) by Scooch came 22nd out of 24. The song was saved from the ignominy of "nul points" by sympathy votes from Malta and Ireland.
