Brown sets out plan for tough new terror laws is the lead in the Observer this morning as many of the papers report a hardening of the Chancellor's attitude

Hardline anti-terror laws are to be proposed by Gordon Brown - including an extension of the 28-day limit on detention without charge - as the Chancellor sends a powerful signal that he will take a harder line on terrorism than Tony Blair.
In an intensification of Brown's plans for Number 10, which follows criticism that he has failed to flesh out his thoughts on terrorism, he will call this week for a series of measures that will infuriate his party's left wing.

Brown to get tough on terror is the lead in the Sunday Times

GORDON BROWN will this week put his personal authority behind a move to allow evidence from telephone taps to be used in court to ensure terror suspects do not escape the law.
With less than a month to go before Brown takes over as prime minister, he is determined to take a tough stance in the fight against terrorism and make it one of the priorities of his administration.

The Telegraph leads with

Cameron much weaker than Brown, say voters

David Cameron's competence and credibility as a potential prime minister have been severely damaged by his party's bitter infighting over grammar schools.
The Conservative leader is seen as less capable and a weaker leader than Gordon Brown, an ICM poll for The Sunday Telegraph shows today. He is also behind on "hard" issues such as the economy, tax and the fight against terrorism.

The Independent also features the Tory leader


Mr & Mrs Greener: But are the Camerons what they seem?

The windmill has been taken down and he is cross. "It was a sweet little thing," says David Cameron within moments of opening the front door of his new eco-home in west London, "a lot smaller than a television aerial".
The mini-turbine was meant to be spinning by now, generating a trickle of electricity - and declaring the credentials of the leader of the new earth-friendly Conservatives. It was going to be a whirring banner for his environmentalism, the symbol of his personal righteousness in doing things like attack Tony Blair for making a carbon-guzzling "pop star" farewell tour of the world.
The plan went wrong, just as his abandonment of grammar schools threatens to go wrong. Some senior Tories are outraged that he thinks no more grammars should be built (a position he modified when their ire became clear). Former party deputy chairman Bernard Jenkin has described this as "the first skid mark" of the Cameron era. But we are talking before all that, in the days preceding a family holiday in Crete that has taken him (with characteristic good fortune) out of the country during the worst week of his leadership. So it is not the wrath of Tory grandees that is on his mind but that of his local council.

Staying on the green theme the Times reports on

the great recycling con trick

PAPER, bottles and plastic that millions of householders are being forced to recycle are routinely being dumped in landfill sites.
Recycling companies say they are receiving tens of thousands of tons of materials from councils which are so contaminated or badly sorted that they have to be rejected or dumped.
Many councils are cutting corners to meet targets for recycling up to 40% of their residents’ waste by 2010. Instead of being properly separated, the waste is poorly sorted and sent to specialist recycling companies that cannot then reprocess it.
Dick Searle, chief executive of the Packaging Federation, said: “The recycling infrastructure in this country is disgraceful. We’ve got a situation where the collection methods – particularly where householders are being told to chuck everything [paper, cans and plastic] in together – means we are now seriously in danger of recycling going backwards.”

Greener by miles says the Telegraph

Take a look in the average supermarket trolley and the food there will probably have travelled farther than most people clock up in a decade. A selection of just 26 items can have covered a total of 150,000 miles before reaching the British kitchen.
With beef from Brazil, beans from Kenya, apples from New Zealand, chicken from Thailand and strawberries from Spain, shoppers can enjoy year-round produce. But with such astonishing "food miles" being accumulated, it is little surprise that their environmental impact is coming under scrutiny and sparking a backlash.
Already, the major supermarkets are crawling over each other to highlight their "locally sourced" produce, while Marks and Spencer has begun labelling air-freighted products with logos of aircraft. Yet some startling research is emerging that shows food miles might not be as bad as consumers have been led to believe.

British Iraq pull-out plan

BRITISH commanders in Iraq have drawn up plans to allow Gordon Brown to withdraw almost all UK troops by the end of the year.
The British commander in southern Iraq, Major-General Jonathan Shaw, produced a “commander’s tactical advice” several weeks ago, senior defence sources said last night. The advice was written for Lieutenant-General Nick Houghton, the chief of joint operations, in London after the Ministry of Defence asked for options that could be presented to Brown when he takes over as prime minister.
Brown is due to fly to Iraq to be briefed by Shaw and other commanders on when Britain’s 5,500 troops should be pulled out of Iraq.


MoD to pull troops out of Iraq within a year says the Telegraph

A fresh timetable, which would see a unilateral withdrawal from the war-torn country by next May, will be presented to Gordon Brown within weeks.
It is understood that when Mr Brown becomes prime minister later this month, he will be told by defence chiefs that Britain should withdraw from Iraq in "quick order" and concentrate on fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Moqtada al-Sadr: The man America has in its sights

Moqtada al-Sadr, the man Washington blames for its failure to gain control in Iraq, has rejected a call to open direct talks with the US military and has accused the Americans of plotting to assassinate him.
The Shia cleric told The Independent on Sunday in an exclusive interview: "The Americans have tried to kill me in the past, but have failed... It is certain that the Americans still want me dead and are still trying to assassinate me.
"I am an Iraqi, I am a Muslim, I am free and I reject all forms of occupation. I want to help the Iraqi people. This is everything the Americans hate."

Three held, one sought for bomb plot at JFK airport reports the Observer

Anti-terrorism agents who foiled a plot to blow up giant fuel tanks at New York's JFK airport arrested three men yesterday and were searching for a fourth, all described as 'al-Qaeda wannabes'.
One man is in custody in the US; two other suspects are being held in Trinidad while police scour the country for another. The two men held in the West Indies were named as Abdul Kadir, 55, a Guyanese Muslim and former member of Guyana's parliament, and Kareem Ibrahim, 56, a Trinidadian.

The Telegraph continues

Four members of a "sleeper cell" intent on exploding fuel dumps to destroy the airport terminal buildings and aircraft on the ground, were arrested after an FBI surveillance operation lasting more than 16 months.
In conversations bugged by American officials, one of the plotters claimed the resulting explosion would have resulted in the destruction of "the whole of Kennedy". He predicted there would have been few survivors.

NHS red tape ban on top doctors

Hundreds of brilliant surgeons and hospital specialists are being barred from taking senior jobs by dawdling, form-filling bureaucrats.
Under recently introduced rules, physicians must register with a new Government body before they are able to work as consultants in British hospitals. says the paper,continuing

The Mail on Sunday today highlights the case of Professor Chris Lavy, a top orthopaedic consultant whose attempts to register after returning from working in Africa were held up for a "nightmarish" year - during which, ironically, he was awarded the OBE in recognition of his work.

SVEN'S SECRET MISTRESSES is the News of the world's exclusive lead

BBC cuts threaten news meltdown

BBC news is preparing to axe hundreds of jobs as part of the plans by director-general Mark Thompson to cut the corporation's budget.
Flagship shows including The 10 O'Clock News and Newsnight could be affected, according to insiders, and many of the BBC's renowned foreign bureaux are likely to be scaled down or closed.
Senior executives are currently deciding which jobs will go, but one source said: 'Many hundreds of jobs are under threat in news and there are serious questions over whether the quality of programmes like Newsnight and The 10 O'Clock News can be maintained.'

Britain pulls plug on Al’s big climate change show

IT WAS intended to be the symbolic gesture at a global series of rock concerts next month to alert people to climate change. Al Gore, the former US presidential candidate turned climate doomsayer, had wanted a massive switch-off of lights by television audiences, but the National Grid has vetoed the idea.
The inconvenient truth, it says, is that the power surge when people switched their lights back on could cause disruptions in supply and even endanger hospital patients on life support machines.
Live Earth will be a series of concerts, modelled on Live Aid and and Live 8, aimed at raising awareness about the threat from global warming.

BIG Brother's Chanelle Hayes was born in PRISON - and her prostitute mother was murdered when she was just six months old.

DETTORI'S DERBY DELIGHT says the Express


NEVER has there been so much expectation but Frankie Dettori delivered when the nation expected after gaining his first Derby astride Authorized on a balmy afternoon at Epsom Downs yesterday.
After 14 unsuccessful attempts, Dettori was questioning his own ability to conqueror the world’s greatest Flat race.But yesterday, the Italian, who has become more than a jockey with the public through his involvement as restaurateur and appearances on Top Of Pops, could not have asked for more easier victory.

"I have never been under so much pressure in my life and when we went past the winning post I had to pinch myself to make sure it was really happening," said the ecstatic rider.

Where are the food queues, asks Polish man after 19-year coma

A railwayman from Poland has awoken after a 19-year coma to discover communism has been swept away and the shops are full of food.
Jan Grzebski, 65, was hit by a train in 1988 and was given only two years to live by doctors. But his wife Gertruda continued to care for him, and never lost hope that he would recover consciousness.
The extraordinary real-life story resembles the plot of the popular film Goodbye Lenin! in which Alex Kerner, played by Daniel Brühl, tries to hide the demise of communism in East Germany to prevent his mother Christiane, (Katrin Sass), dying from shock after recovering from a coma.
