The Madeleine case returns to the front page of many of the papers this morning

IS THIS HER BLOOD? says the Mirror

BLOOD IN MADDIE FLAT says the Sun

Samples from the specks — invisible to the naked eye — were being tested in labs last night to see if the blood came from the lost four-year-old.
And police sources revealed an attempt had been made to wipe the wall clean.

MADDIE BLOOD CLUE says the Express

Portuguese police missed blood on walls for three months reports the Mail

British police have found traces of blood in Madeleine McCann's holiday bedroom.
DNA tests are being carried out to see if they came from the missing four-year-old.
The dramatic discovery came after UK detectives were finally allowed to review the three-month Portugese investigation.
If the blood is Madeleine's it would change the whole nature of the inquiry by introducing the possibility that she died there rather than being kidnapped.

According to the Telegraph

A Portuguese police source said: "If the results are positive, this will open up a completely new line of inquiry".
The tiny traces of blood - invisible to the naked eye - were found at a low height on the wall in the bedroom of the McCann holiday apartment at the Ocean Club.

Foot and mouth: Second outbreak suspected

A new herd of cattle was identified with clinical signs of the disease by Animal Health staff as part of their surveillance activity within the zone.
The Chief Veterinary Officer, Debby Reynolds, ordered that the herd be culled.
The owner of the land where the suspected outbreak was found said the news had crushed the hopes of the local community that the crisis would end quickly after more than 24 hours had passed without a new case.

Culling fields says the Mirror

Residents in Normandy, Surrey, where the infection was discovered last week, told how experts sealed off a field just a few miles away.
Duke of Normandy pub manager Sue Keeble said: "It was obvious they were culling the cows and we guessed it was foot and mouth."

The Times reports that

While there was dismay at the discovery of another likely infection, there was relief that it was found in an already contaminated area.
Officials from the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) had suggested privately earlier in the day that it was extremely unlikely that no more cases would be discovered.

Abandoned - the 91 Iraqis who risked all is the paper's lead

Britain was accused yesterday of abandoning 91 Iraqi interpreters and their families to face persecution and possible death when British forces withdraw.
The Times has learnt that the Government has ignored personal appeals from senior army officers in Basra to relax asylum regulations and make special arrangements for Iraqis whose loyal services have put their lives at risk.
One interpreter, who has worked with the Army since 2004 and wanted to start a new life in Britain after British Forces pull out was told by Downing Street that he would receive no special favours and to read a government website.

The Guardian also focuses on Iraq

The US arsenal lost in Iraq

The US has lost track of about 190,000 weapons issued to Iraqi security forces since the 2003 invasion, some of which will have ended up in the hands of insurgents, according to an official report published in Washington. Among the missing items are AK-47 rifles, pistols, body armour and helmets.
The disclosure adds to the picture of the chaotic and clumsy administration of Iraq that has emerged over the last four years.The report, by the government accountability office, which sent its report to Congress last week, found a 30% gap between the number of weapons issued to Iraqi forces and records held by US forces in Iraq. No one in the Bush administration knows where the weapons are now.

Joy for protesters as Heathrow is denied 'mother of all injunctions' is the lead in the Independent

Environmental campaigners seeking to stage a protest at Heathrow airport this summer claimed a huge and symbolic victory yesterday after a High Court judge massively scaled back the terms of an injunction sought against them.
The British Airports Authority (BAA), which runs the airport, was ordered to pay the costs of three groups who had challenged what was described as the most wide-ranging limit on the right to protest Britain has ever witnessed.
Meanwhile, in a separate victory for free speech, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips, dismissed an appeal by the Director of Public Prosecutions that could have seen the Parliament Square anti-war protester Brian Haw restricted in his right to protest.


Protest and survive: the fight to protect free speech goes on it says in its leading article

The Heathrow affair has generated some valuable publicity for the campaign to curb the expansion of the UK's airports. It is a safe bet that many more people are aware of the camp than were 10 days ago when this injunction was first proposed; not least those hundreds of thousands of members of groups such as the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the Woodland Trust who found themselves at risk of being injuncted.


Millionaire ends donations to Tories over Cameron's 'arrogant' style reports the Guardian

One of the Conservative party's biggest donors has told the Guardian he will not give money to the party again because of David Cameron's "arrogant Old Etonian" style of leadership.
Sir Tom Cowie, a millionaire who has donated more than £630,000 to the Conservatives since 2001, said he is "very, very disappointed" with the Tory leader. He said that he will instead send his money to one of Prince Charles's charities, the Prince's Trust, which helps disadvantaged young people set up their own businesses.


Conservatives deny Labour claim over defector says the Telegraph

The Tories are demanding an apology from Labour over a claim that a defecting party activist had helped draw up the Conservative manifesto for this year's elections to the Welsh Assembly.
David Anstee, 26, who failed to become a Conservative councillor in Rhondda, South Wales, announced that he was joining the Labour Party. He cited Gordon Brown's strong leadership as the main reason for his switch and criticised the Conservatives for "pandering to the right''.
“Like many political moderates I had hoped that David Cameron's leadership of the Conservatives would herald a changed party that reflected the concerns of the people of our country

Boy 'was shot after he was falsely accused of being a gang member' reports the Indy

Almost a year after he was shot dead while cycling through a public park, an insight was finally provided yesterday into the death of teenager Jessie James.
It came from witnesses who were so frightened of reprisals that they spoke at the inquest via video links with their voices distorted.
Amid scenes unprecedented in this country, and after Manchester's gang wars had brought its sixth shooting in two weeks, the inquest into Jessie's death was transferred to a Manchester Crown Court for additional security. It heard that the teenager was shot dead because another boy had falsely accused him of being a member of one criminal gang in front of members of another.

I saw gun murder of Jessie in park, witness tells inquest reports the Guardian

The Manchester coroner Nigel Meadows took witness A through a statement given to police last October which described what they later discovered were Jessie's final moments.
A told how, as they waited in a car for some fast food in Moss Side, they saw a blue car with alloy wheels being driven fast and then braking hard. Two youths from a group climbed into the car and then walked back as the car sped off.


Thousands more are stopped and searched after car bomb plot reports the Times

Police are stopping 366 people every day in London under stringent anti-terror powers described by the official security legislation watchdog as “a significant intrusion into personal liberties”.
The number of random checks carried out in the capital increased fivefold to almost 11,000 last month in the aftermath of attempted car bomb attacks, when the threat level was raised to severe.

Get orf the boat says the Mirror

Devastated Kate Middleton has pulled out of her cross-Channel rowing team - on the orders of the Queen and Prince William.
Kate was told the fuss surrounding her early morning training sessions on the Thames was getting out of hand.
She also faced pressure from lawyers who feared posed magazine pictures of her with the rest of the 21 woman Sisterhood crew could prompt charges of hypocrisy over complaints about paparazzi intrusion.

Sarkozy snaps at photographers while on US holiday

The snappers, Jim Cole of the Associated Press and freelancer Vance DeWitt, were idling in their craft beyond a buoy barrier when they spotted M. Sarkozy and his party heading toward open waters. What is more they had drawn up to a security patrol boat and asked - and received - permission to be there. As Sarkozy's boat puttered out, they looked through their lenses and saw he was in good spirits. But the good humour of M. Sarkozy, who, unknown to Cole, had earlier pleaded with reporters in town to leave him and his family alone, was more fragile than it looked.

Rescuers battle to reach trapped miners in Utah

Rescue workers were battling last night to reach six miners trapped one-third of a mile underground in eastern Utah following a cave-in so thunderous that seismologists believed at first it was a small earthquake. The men were about 1,700ft down and 3.4 miles away from the entrance to the Crandall Canyon coal mine, near the town of Huntingdon, when the mine shafts around them collapsed. It was not clear if they were alive or dead, but the president of the mining company vowed he would make every effort to bring them out intact. Four other miners managed to escape when the cave-in occurred yesterday morning.

Train drivers threaten to derail the Merkel miracle reports the Times

Germans faced the prospect of summer holiday chaos yesterday as train drivers voted for an unlimited nationwide strike. It seems set to be the worst rail strike in 15 years and, along with a threat of industrial action by airline pilots, could bring the country to a standstill.
The timing is bad news for Angela Merkel, the Chancellor, who had hoped to crown Germany’s economic recovery with the successful privatisation of Deutsche Bahn, the German rail service. This would not only fill government coffers, it is also intended to cement her reputation as an economic moderniser in the run-up to the 2009 general election.

Erin Brockovich in Australian sequel as she takes on case of stricken hamlet reports the Guardian

For 11 years the residents of a tiny community have been plagued by illnesses they claim are caused by pollution from the local refinery. People suffer nosebleeds, nausea, skin rashes and other symptoms. Then along comes a crusading lawyer willing to stand up to the corporate giant that owns the refinery, bringing the plight of the townsfolk to worldwide attention.
If this sounds like the plot of Erin Brockovich, the film for which Julia Roberts won an Oscar, well it certainly isn't far from the truth. This current drama is being played out in Australia, not Hollywood. But the star of the show really is the feisty Ms Brockovich. She was in Perth yesterday pledging to help a group of local people who claim they are being poisoned by the activities of the mining giant Alcoa.

Russian composers were music to Hitler's ears

Adolf Hitler's newly discovered record collection has revealed that he listened in private to the Jewish musicians and Russian composers branded "subhuman" by his regime.The Nazi dictator's musical tastes have been revealed after nearly 100 of his gramophone discs were found in a dacha outside Moscow.
For the most part, the collection is fairly predictable - dominated by recordings of Wagner, Beethoven and Bruckner. But a sprinkling of Tchaikovsky, Borodin and Rachmaninoff has amazed historians.
