Crisis of trust after BBC says sorry again

The BBC called on its staff last night to inform their managers about programmes that have misled or deceived the public.
The initiative to shore up trust in the corporation came after it was forced to apologise to the Queen — the second embarassing apology within four days.
Mark Thompson, the BBC Director-General, has been asked by the BBC Trust to explain why a channel controller issued promotional footage that wrongly implied that the Queen had walked out of a photo shoot.
It admitted that footage which purported to show the Queen storming out of a sitting with the celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz had been spliced together out of sequence. In fact the Queen was filmed walking into the shoot.

The front of the Mail carries the headline

BBC lied about Queen's 'tantrum'

The BBC was forced to offer a humiliating apology to the Queen over claims that she stormed out of a photo shoot.
She is said to be livid at the way documentary footage was manipulated to make it appear she had flounced out of a portrait sitting with American photographer Annie Leibovitz.
The corporation has admitted that the footage of her alleged exit was in fact filmed as she arrived for the session.
Phone lines between Buckingham Palace and the BBC were said to have been "red-hot" amid fears that the corporation had turned the Queen into a laughing stock.

The Independent says

In a different age, the consequences for such calumny could have been far more serious but, yesterday, BBC executives were simply reduced to issuing a grovelling apology to the Queen, after being caught red-handed in a flagrant case of spin.

It leads though with the new school curriculum which has upset a number of the papers

The schools day of the future

The Government has unveiled a new curriculum to bring schools into the 21st century - giving more space for pupils to tackle controversial issues such as global warming and nuclear power.
Teachers will also be given greater freedom to break free from the traditional subject-based national curriculum for pupils aged 11 to 16, facilitating the introduction of topics which help prepare youngsters for adult life, Ken Boston, chief executive of the Qualifications and Curriculum - the Government's exams watchdog, said yesterday.
They will range from lessons on Britain's place in the global economy to individual economic well-being - which could include how to avoid debt and buy a home, respect for other cultures and even cookery - to help instil healthy eating habits into tomorrow's adults.
Dr Boston said the changes were necessary because the rise in education standards throughout the Western world was "slowing down".

TWO FINGERS TO CHURCHILL

FURY erupted last night after Sir Winston Churchill was axed from school history lessons.
Britain’s cigar-chomping World War Two PM — famed for his two-finger victory salute — was removed from a list of figures secondary school children must learn about.
Instead they will be taught about “relevant” issues such as global warming and drug dangers. Churchill’s grandson, Tory MP Nicholas Soames, branded the move “total madness.”
The decision to axe Churchill is part of a major shake-up aimed at dragging the national curriculum into the 21st century, it was claimed last night.

The front page of the Express carries the same sentiment

THE MADNESS OF BROWN

GORDON Brown’s politically correct onslaught intensifed last night as compulsory teaching of the life of Sir Winston Churchill was dropped.
A new school curriculum, unveiled as part of the Prime Minister’s barrage of initiatives, also scrapped the mandatory study of dictators Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. It was instantly branded “madness” by critics.Instead, secondary school pupils will be taught classes in global warming, healthy eating, Arabic and Urdu. And they will get five-minute “attention-grabbing” lessons in subjects like French and mental arithmetic following claims that today’s youngsters cannot concentrate for long.

Harrow killing blamed on school drug culture headlines the Telegraph

The father of a young fashion designer stabbed to death by a former pupil of Harrow school who went on to Oxford University yesterday blamed both institutions for failing to tackle the "despicable" drug culture that drove the student to kill.William Jaggs stabbed Lucy Braham 66 times in a "ferocious and unrelenting" sexually-motivated attack at her home in north London. The Old Bailey heard that the 23-year-old became a drug user at Harrow school, where his father was a teacher, and admitted developing an LSD and crack cocaine habit at Oxford that gave him violent sexual hallucinations.
Miss Braham's father, Jason, himself a senior master at Harrow, where he taught Jaggs as director of art, blamed both institutions for turning a blind eye to the boy's descent from the "gutter to the sewer".

NEVER FREE HIM
Maniac who stabbed Lucy 66 times at public school is caged says the Mirror

Judge Mr Justice Bean sentenced him to be detained indefinitely at Broadmoor hospital.
He warned him: "You should realise that it may never be safe to release you."
In court Lucy's dad Jason paid tribute to his "lovely, funny and creative" daughter and hit out at privileged Jaggs who "spat in the face of everyone who had given him his advantages".

The Guardian leads with a hint in a change of foreign policy

Brown message to US: it's time to build, not destroy

The first clear signs that Gordon Brown will reorder Britain's foreign policy emerged last night when one of his closest cabinet allies urged the US to change its priorities and said a country's strength should no longer be measured by its destructive military power.
Douglas Alexander, the trade and development secretary, made his remarks in a speech in America, the first by a cabinet minister abroad since Mr Brown took power a fortnight ago.

It adds

In what will be seen as an assertion of the importance of multilateralism in Mr Brown's foreign policy, Mr Alexander said: "In the 20th century a country's might was too often measured in what they could destroy. In the 21st century strength should be measured by what we can build together. And so we must form new alliances, based on common values, ones not just to protect us from the world, but ones which reach out to the world." He described this as "a new alliance of opportunity".

The Times reports that

Much of Mr Alexander’s speech, the first made abroad by a Cabinet member since Tony Blair’s departure, was devoted to expressing admiration for the US. “There are few global challenges that do not require the active engagement of the United States,” he said, before calling on it to adopt new policies, alliances and priorities that “do not just protect us from the world — but reach out to the world”.

Bush says US can still win 'ugly' Iraq war

Mr Bush used a White House press conference to stick doggedly to his contention that it is too early to assess the effect of the "surge" of American troops in Iraq and urged Americans to be patient.
"I understand why the American people are tired of the war," he said. "There’s war fatigue in America. It’s affecting our psychology. I’ve said this before. I understand that it’s an ugly war."

Boris Johnson will run for Mayor of London reports the same paper

An announcement from Mr Johnson, which could come as early as today, will electrify the race and pose the most serious challenge to Ken Livingstone's hopes of winning a third term.
Mr Johnson, a columnist on The Daily Telegraph, is the party's best known MP. His appeal extends across party lines and he has become a regular on television panel games, such as Have I Got News For You.
David Cameron, the Conservative leader, who has talked privately to Mr Johnson about the job, will be delighted the Conservatives can field such a high-profile candidate. Mr Johnson discussed his future with local party officials in his Henley constituency yesterday.

Langham accused of grooming and seducing 14-year-old girl

The Bafta-winning actor Chris Langham groomed and seduced a 14-year-old girl after she expressed an interest in being an actor, a court heard yesterday.
Mr Langham, who received huge acclaim for his part in the BBC drama The Thick of It, took the girl to fashionable London venues including the Ivy restaurant and Soho House as well as five-star hotels. It was at the hotels, the prosecution alleged at Maidstone Crown Court, that the actor, 58, is alleged to have engaged in oral and anal sex with the girl.

Cancer fast track scheme is causing longer waits

A fast-track system for urgent suspected cases of breast cancer is being overwhelmed by the worried well, leaving thousands of women with genuine breast cancer anxiously waiting a month or more to see a specialist, a study reveals.
An estimated 8,800 women a year who are eventually diagnosed with breast cancer are labelled "routine" cases under the system, waiting for weeks despite increasing numbers of other women being fast-tracked to a consultant, it says.
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) article calls for an urgent overhaul, saying the government's 1999 target of a two-week wait for urgent cases has created an "alarming" two-tiered system of treatment. "The system is failing patients and a change is urgently needed," the paper says.

Google in court for ‘misleading its users’ on paid links to advertisers reports the Times

Google, the world’s most popular internet search engine, is being taken to court for allegedly deceiving millions of users over links that are paid for by its advertisers.
In the first legal action of its kind, Australia’s competition watchdog is seeking an injunction to stop Google from displaying search results that did not “expressly distinguish” advertisements.
The Australian Competion and Consumer Commission claims that Google has engaged in deceptive or misleading conduct in relation to the use of its paid links. It also seeks an injunction to prevent Google from displaying the paid links of advertisers that claimed an association with other businesses or competitors where no such association existed.

Islamic revolution will come in Pakistan, warns cleric, as militants bury their dead

President Pervez Musharraf vowed yesterday to step up the fight against gun-toting fundamentalists, as the first funerals were held for militants killed in the Red Mosque siege and a defiant captured cleric predicted an Islamic revolution in Pakistan.
"Extremism is not finished in this country. We have to fight it and we have to finish it," the general said, promising new weapons and training for security forces along the Afghan border.
Wearing a dark suit and a sombre expression, Gen Musharraf appealed to a sense of unity among a nation still reeling from an eight-day siege that left at least 108 people dead. "The goal was not to kill people, it was to rescue children," he said.

The Telegraph though adding

Two suicide bombers hit government targets yesterday. Three soldiers were killed when a driver detonated his car outside the town of Mingora in the Swat Valley in North West Frontier Province.
In North Waziristan, the tribal area where both Zawahiri and bin Laden are believed to have found sanctuary, a suicide bomber walked into a government compound and blew himself up, killing three officials.
On the other side of the country in Punjab province, thousands attended Ghazi's burial.
The radical preacher's death in the Red Mosque has made him a "martyr" in the eyes of extremists. Ghazi's elder brother, Abdul Aziz, who escaped the siege, told the crowd that "God willing, Pakistan will have an Islamic revolution soon. The blood of the martyrs will bear fruit".

Shops 'may break Harry Potter deadline'

Though retailers have had to give written undertakings not to sell Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows early, there was mounting speculation yesterday that some may break ranks.
"It’s quite possible one will break the embargo," says Katherine Rushton from The Bookseller magazine.
"They’d do it to be first, and for all the PR."
Robert Webb, who has run Kingsthorpe Book Shop in Northampton for the last 34 years, says it is "a miracle" the embargo has held in the past.
