The Case for Britain's lawlessness continues to dominate the papers,not more so than the decision on the front of the Mail which says

What about my families' rights

The widow of murdered headmaster Philip Lawrence has bitterly condemned the Human Rights Act after his killer used it to stay in Britain.
The Home Office wanted to deport Learco Chindamo to Italy, where he was born, after he becomes eligible for parole next year.
But immigration judges ruled that expelling the 26-year-old, who has an Italian passport, would breach his right to a "family life" - something he denied Frances Lawrence and her four children.

The Telegraph carries the story on its front page

Lawrence killer's 'human right' to stay in UK

The Home Office has been fighting a legal battle to deport him when he completes his prison sentence, possibly next year.
But the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal ruled today that such a move would breach Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
This guarantees the right to a ''family life", and since Chindamo's ties are in the UK and he speaks only English, the tribunal ruled that repatriating him to Italy would be unjust.

The Sun describes it as

THE FINAL INSULT

Mrs Lawrence, 59, whose husband was murdered in 1995 as he tried to break up a fight outside his school, said:

I am devastated, demoralised. More than that, I’m unutterably depressed the Human Rights Act has failed to encompass the rights of my family to lead a safe, secure and happy life.
I feel that I have always been a staunch advocate of the Human Rights Act but there is a missing term in it. It must encompass some responsibility.
This isn’t just about me and my family. I am not solely thinking of me. I may be a mother but I am a human being as well. I feel I can’t fight any more. I feel I can’t survive this.

Dangerous prisoners may get early release

Hundreds of dangerous prisoners could be freed from jail because of “disastrous” failings by the Government when it introduced a new prison sentence, a High Court judge said yesterday.
Mr Justice Collins gave warning that many inmates could be released whether or not they are a risk to the public because ministers had failed to provide resources to the Prison
The Government is also likely to face claims for compensation running into tens of thousands of pounds from prisoners held beyond the minimum term laid down by the courts.

YOU SILLY BUFFERS says the paper .

The wife of have-a-go rail guard Paul Yarwood told of her despair last night as he faces ruin for standing up to Britain's yob menace.
Sacked Paul, 44, is set to lose his home as he cannot pay the mortgage and will be hauled before a court this week charged with threatening behaviour. Yet the boozy thug who rampaged through his station got off with a paltry £80 fine - despite admitting he was entirely to blame.

NHS overhaul: study says lives at risk

Long ambulance journeys are putting the lives of severely ill patients at risk, according to the first research to test the government's plans to close some A&E departments.
The study of more than 10,000 patients over five years found a marked increase in the chances of a patient dying with every extra kilometre travelled to a hospital in an emergency situation. The evidence comes as the Conservative leader, David Cameron, called yesterday for a moratorium on closures of emergency departments amid Tory claims that 29 district general hospitals are also at risk.

The Telegraph also leads with the same story also reporting that

David Cameron sought to outflank Gordon Brown over the National Health Service today by pledging to save local hospitals across England which are threatened by Labour's reforms.Returning to the political front line after a two week holiday, the Tory leader promised a "bare knuckle fight" to preserve accident and emergency and maternity units that face likely closure.
Mr Cameron produced a list of 29 district general hospitals which he said could be downgraded under government plans to restructure the NHS.

According to the Independent

David Cameron was accused yesterday of playing to the public's worst fears over crime as he faced a backlash over his claim that Britain faces "anarchy in the UK".
The Conservative leader was branded "puerile" by the former Home Secretary David Blunkett, as the debate over violence and gang culture descended into a bitter political row.
Mr Cameron told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: "We are not going to deal with anarchy in the UK unless we actually strengthen families and communities in the UK."



Meanwhile the Guardian reports that

BROWNITES TARGET BORIS JOHNSON

An assault upon David Cameron's plan to get Boris Johnson elected mayor of London will be launched today by a Brownite pressure group, which hopes to transform the Conservative MP's image from popular "buffoon" into a hard-line right-winger, "a type of Norman Tebbit in a clown's uniform".
The group Compass, which campaigned for Gordon Brown to replace Tony Blair in No 10, has analysed Mr Johnson's career both as a journalist and a politician and is determined to alert Londoners to what they say is the threat posed to their tolerant, multicultural city if Mr Johnson wins the Conservative nomination next month and thwarts Ken Livingstone's hopes of a third term next May.

The Independent continues to focus on the Heathrow protests

In the flightpath on the warpath headlines the paper

The campaign to halt the expansion of Heathrow will intensify dramatically after it emerged that thousands of homes will be blighted by new flight paths to handle a massive increase in traffic from the airport.
As the week of climate change protests reached a climax yesterday with a blockade of the headquarters of the airport operator, BAA, a coalition of 12 communities - two million people - unveiled a new battle over noise pollution in London and the home counties, which will be the inevitable outcome from a planned third runway at Heathrow.


Hurricane Dean is still being tracked

Thousands of Britons evacuated from Mexican coast as hurricane sweeps in says the Mail

British tourists were rushing to flee Mexico's Yucatan peninsula last night as Hurricane Dean bore down on them.
Extra flights were arranged for the mass evacuation of holidaymakers as authorities prepared for a direct hit from the storm.
As many as 4,000 Britons have fled resorts such as Cancun and Cozumel, but at least 6,000 more remain in hotels.

The Guardian reporting that

Mexico's Yucatan peninsula braced for Hurricane Dean's arrival last night as the storm barrelled through the Caribbean, gathering strength and leaving a trail of destruction. The eye of the hurricane was expected to hit Mexico's eastern coastline with 150mph winds early today, prompting an exodus of tens of thousands of tourists who swamped airports to catch the last flights out before planes were grounded.

A summer of rain threatens to bring the great autumn floods

Britain is facing a flooding timebomb this autumn and winter, with huge amounts of underground water stored up by incessant summer rain ready to burst out as floods the next time heavy rains return.
The Environment Agency is giving warning of “an enhanced flood risk” for England and Wales, although where and when any flooding strikes will depend on the weather patterns. Forecasters are predicting a wet autumn across much of Britain.

Bigley's brother gives comfort to McCanns

Madeleine McCann's parents have had an emotional meeting with the brother of murdered Iraq hostage Ken Bigley.

The Mail reports on a controversy

WHY I HATE CHILDREN

A new book is causing a storm of controversy by labelling children as annoying and pointless - a charge made all the more inflammatory by the fact that its author is a mother. Entitled No Kid: 40 Reasons Not To Have Children, Corinne Maier's book has sparked fury in France, where it was published.

The author writing that

Children are just too much work. They just aren't worth the hassle. Parents today are put under so much pressure to bring up perfect children, but what's the point?

Cartoon characters labelled food villains reports the Guardian

Food products promoted by popular cartoons and film characters are undermining parents' efforts to make their children eat healthily, according to a survey published by a consumer group today.
It warns that biscuits and other snacks are being advertised as ideal for school lunchboxes when in fact they are high in fat and sugar. The unhealthiest foods include many popular cereals as well as biscuits. Products on the blacklist all attract red "traffic light" labels under the new system introduced by the government's Food Standards Agency.

The Sun claims a victory

General has sent 'em packing

THE Royal Mail surrendered to Britain’s top soldier last night — after an appeal in The Sun.
General Sir Richard Dannatt had called for rip-off charges on parcels to frontline troops to be scrapped.
He said squaddies’ families should be able to send them for free.
And despite putting up a fight, the Royal Mail has given in.

And perhaps one for the Express which reports that

EDITOR 'FELT GUILT' FOR DIANA DEATH

Former News of the World editor Phil Hall told a television documentary: "I felt huge responsibility for what happened and I think everyone in the media did."
In the ITV documentary Diana's Last Summer to be screened on Wednesday, Mr Hall says: "It's difficult because we knew the full story, we knew that Diana was helping newspapers and yeah, the driver was drunk.
"But my view is that if the paparazzi hadn't been following her the car wouldn't have been speeding and, you know, the accident may never have happened."

Sarkozy acts after paedophile is given Viagra

A French prison doctor has admitted prescribing the sexual booster drug Viagra to a convicted paedophile who was freed early and abducted and sexually assaulted a five-year old-boy.
The disturbing case of Francis Evrard, 61, provoked an emergency meeting of the French government yesterday which promised a full investigation and draconian new penalties on paedophiles.
President Nicolas Sark-ozy said he wanted voluntary "chemical castration" of paedophiles. Child-sex offenders would now serve their full terms, with no remission, he said. Those judged dangerous by doctors would be sent to a new, secure hospital in Lyons.
